SAYS SHE SAW A MURDER.
THE STRANGE STORY OP A DISSO
LUTE MAOON WOMAN.
The Ex-Sheriff of Jones County the
Man She Claims to Have Seen in the
Bloody Clutches of a Couple of
Robbers—Her Own Narrow Escape
on the Rails.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 9. Maggie Galloway,
a well known white woman, was arrested
last night for being drunk and disorderly,
and was placed in the barracks. To-day
she told a remarkable tale about It. F.
Cook, the ex-Sheriff of Jones county, whose
dead body was found in the Ocmulgee river
Sunday afternoon. No plausible cause
could be given of how it. came there. She
says he was murdered by two white men
last Saturday night near the house where
Sophie Thompson lived, close by the park
and a short distance below the Central rail
road bridge, and his dead body then thrown
into the river not far trom the boom where
Will Bass found a hat which it was claimed
belonged to Cook.
TWO MEN ROBBING HIM.
Maggie Galloway says she had gone to
Sophie Thompson’s house to see her, not
knowing that she had moved, and her atten
tion was attracted to one of the men calling
Cook a . One of the men was
quite large and the other rather small, and
the smaller one accosted his companion by
the name of '‘Jack.” She saw the faces of
all the men by, the light of the matches they
constantly struck to examine the money and
other articles they took from Cook. She
heard Cook say: “Gentlemen, I will give
you everything I have got rather than have
a fuss or lie hurt. There is $2 80 in my
pocket you have not taken yet.”
STABBED IN THE HEAD.
As soon as Cook uttered these words
Maggie says she saw one of the strangers
raise his hand and in it glittered some kind
of a bright, sharp-looking knife, and it wa
plunged seemingly right behind the ear ol'
Cook, and he fell down to the ground with
a groan. "Flie men then picked up his body,
carried it to the river near by and threw it
in. She says she started to walk off, hoping
to get away in the darkness unobserved, but
the two men saw her and commenced to
pursue her. and called to her to stop, but
she only ran faster.
ESCAPED AT THE DEPOT.
The race was kept up until she had reach
ed the depot of the East Tennessee railroad,
when her pursuers stopped and went off in
another direction. She recognized Cook as
being the saffie man who gave her a drink
ol beer on Wedne-day night last in a bar
room on Bridge Row, and parties in there
called him by the name of “Boh.” That
same night Maggie was put in the barracks
for drunkenness, and released the next
morning. Maggie says that her recollection
is that Cook did not have on a hat when
talking to the men on the night he was
killed.
ASLEEP ON THE TRACK.
Maggie also says that yesterday afternoon
she laid down in V.- room to tak* a nap.
She was rudely awakened last night by the
rushing and roaring of a locomotiveJand
awakened from her sleep to tint her head
resting on a railroad track and a switch
engine moving rapidly toward her. She
thinks that she hai been drugged and was
placed on the track so she could be killed.
FLORIDA’S CAPITAL.
Railroads Ask to be Allowed to Ad
vance Transportation Rates.
Tallahassee, Fla., Nov. 9.— The Rail
road Commission to-day heard argument
from A. B. Mamie M. R. Moran and Gen.
Bentley, on the subject of allowing an ad
vance on standard rates for freight and
passengers on the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West railway. The request for an
increase was based on figures showing that
on account of the small volume of business
in the .State, the road is now unable to
make more thai running expenses, leaving
nothing for the improvement of the property
and interest on the braids. Strong appeals
were made for advances on standard rates,
especially on short and branch liues. To
morrow Hon. R. W. Davis and Maj. Sher
man Conant will appear in the interest of
the Illinois Southern railroad. Thf decis
ions on the requests already made will
pm'slilY not be given out until all the roads
are heard from.
Arguments tor and against the validity of
Die new Jacksonville charter were made in
the Supreme Court to-day by H. Bisbee and
W. B. Young. The case was'brought before
the court by an alternative writ of manda
mus to compel performance of certain min
isterial duties imposed by the charter on the
County Commissioners of Duval county.
The charter was passed by the recent ses
sion of the Legislature, and is alleged to be
void because not passed in accordance with
the constitution of the State.
The United States Commissioner to-day
admitted to bail James Tarmine, of Liberty
county, for offenses against the postal laws.
Others charged with similar offenses were
discharged.

given in the South. To-day a committee of
three canvassed the busiues- portion of the
city for a short while and succeeded in
raising nearly *IO,OOO more, making a total
of over $37,000 subscribed in the past
twenty-four hours. Fifty thousand dollars
will be easily rai cd before the end of the
week. Of the subscribers to-day J. B.
White, the leading dry goods merchant,
gave $1,500, the Augusta Gazette $1,200,
and Fleming & Bowles SSOO, Phinizv & Cos.,
the Chronicle and Collin & Stubb gave

when the bird was flushed all five of the men
fired. The dog fell at once, but the bird man
aged to keep on until it found cover in some

THE PLEASURES OF HANGING.
Death on the Gallows Believed to be
Painless and Enjoyable.
From the London Lancet.
If those are to be believed who, having
been more or less hanged, have been resus
citated and have narrated their experiences,
the much-commiserated victim of the law's
extreme penalty is not wholly miserable.
It would seem that even death “sus. per
coll. ’ has its ameliorating conditions of cir
cumstances. One sufferer in the religious
cause in France is said to have “complained”
I cause he was called back to consciousness
from an experience of surpassing delights,
in which he enjoyed the pleasure of gazing
upon the most beautiful scenery. The im
mediate sensation of pain is momentary;
and it would appear not unlikely that, in
our anxiety for the avoidance of needless
annoyance to those we put to death
judicially, we may be actually increasing
their sufferings and diminishing their
pleasure.
The instantaneous deaths have all the
pain and little or none of the pleasure.
Blowlv induced congestion of the brain
may be the least painful, and if only the
blood pressure lie offeeually raised at the
centre that sees, the beautiful light and
charming scenery are enjoyed in the highest
perfection. The subject is a grim one, and
wo are not sure that the new view of hang
ing experience tends to make the death pen
alty increasingly deterrent; but it is right
that both sides of a question which the late
Mr. Whatley onco excited the merriment of
the House of Commons by describing as “a
pool man’s question” should be carefully
considered at all costs.
A Great Head for Business.
From the Cloak. Suit and Ladies' Wear Revieir.
A lady went into one of the small ware
stores in Boston recently and purchased a
bunch of a certain kind of beads of which
the ordinary price is everywhere sc. As she
took them she casually remarked that she
bird been all over town after them, but that
everybody was out of them, although u
steamer was expected in with plenty next
week. As she turned to go she heard the
manager, who had been standing near by,
say to the clerk:
! ‘Mark those beads up to 10c. till next
week. VY T e may as well take advantage of
the market.”
It is said that fortunes are made by atten
tion to trifles, and surely a man who could
improve an opportunity in this fashion is
sure to either accumulate wealth or to come
to utter ruin by his clever meanness.
“Ain’t Ye Ever Goin’ to Back Up?”
From the Minneapolis Tribune.
A Minneapolis man tells a story of an old
lady’s first trip in a horse car: “The mud
was deep and she wanted to board a River
side car, but she didn’t want to walk over
the crossing She waved her hand and
Shouted vociferously, but when the car
stopped she made no effort to get to it, but,
with a look and wave of the hand that were
indescribable, remarked in a ilark-red tone
of voice: Come, ain’t ye ever goiu’ to buck
up beret’ ”
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1887.
JOHN HOSTS SANCTUM.
A DEN WHERE ANARCHY IS BRED
AND NURTURED.
The Chief Anarchist’s Museum of
Weapons, Explosives, Poisons and
Infernal Machines-Easy Lessons in
the Art of Assassination.
AVi c York Special to the Chicago Daily News.
Since Johann Most’s release I had often
resolved to visit his editorial sanctum and
see some of his surroundings, but I never
had the opportunity until a few days ago,
when I sought William street and paused a
j moment before 167. This is the place where
! undiluted anarchy presents itself through
the medium of the Freiheit, which has suc
ceeded so well that it has been enlarged to
double its former size. On the ground floor
a lager beer saloon is doing a thriving busi
ness, and the old saying that Teutonic jour
nalism always manifests an inclination to
take up its abode in proximity to a place
where honors are paid to King Garubrinus
is borne out in this instance, even when the
journalists wage war on all other monarchs.
Entering the hallway you will notice, as
soon as your eyes are able to penetrate the
darkness, a large red banner on the wall
bearing the inscription, “Vive la Com
mune.” A cast-iron letter-1 iox, marked
“John Most,” attracts one’s attention lor a
moment, and then we ascend two flights of
narrow, creaky stairs, and step into u large,
dilapidated room, extending over the entire
top floor of the building. Here the Freiheit
is written, put into type, and, ufter being
printed elsewhere, mailed to subscribers.
There is hardly a country on the globe
which lias not the houor of giving shelter to
some Anarchist subscriber. A perfect del
uge of revolutionary pamphlets issues from
this forlorn-looking loft.
About u dozen men were engaged in fold
ing and wrapping the latest number of the
freiheit. In order to keep up their spirits
at this hard work a goodly quality of the
favorite German beverage is consumed,
cigars and short pipes emit big clouds of
smoke, and a noisy debate is carried on all
the time. Every one ol these savage-looking
specimens of humanity strives to assume an
air that suggests his merely waiting for a
favorable opportunity to slaughter all mon
archs and capitalists on the face of the
earth. There are Germans. Frenchmen,
Russians, Bohemians, and a Dane in the
group. Regular employment is a notion too
conservative and utterly foreign to their
minds. They are here folding papers to
serve the revolutionary cause, and receive
Uio other recompense than tiie consciousness
ol having performed their duty.
OVERAWING THE VISITORS.
One of the heroes, who evidently desires
to overawe us, takes a small quantity of
gun-cotton out of his pocket, another pro
duces a sample of dynamite, and each as
serts that the stuff he carries is an excellent
agent to further the grand idea of universal
anarchy. All join in a dispute concerning
the uiost effective methods for blowing up
public institutions, and the folding business
is meanwhile neglected. The Anarchist
chief, Herr Most, has been conversing with
a good-looking young female Anarchist,
who came over for the purpose of paying
her respects to the great dynamiter: but
now his attention is directed to his hot
headed dssciplos.
“Get through your work,” he shouts,
“you may babble all you want afterward!”
The admonition is needed only for a few
moments. The folders have a theme de
manding urgent action. The sentence of
the Chicago Anarchists has excited the
wrath of every Anarchist and frenzied cries
of threatened vengeance burst forth from
all sides. Herr Most again commands
silence, and liis announcement that a mass
meeting would be held on Sunday, at which
lioth English and German speakers would
be present, is hailed with tumultous
applause. The presence of strangers seem
to be fully ignored for the moment. The
Anarchists fully understand that they are
at liberty here to run the revolutionary
machine at their own sweet pleasure, so
long as the struggle is confined to the
tongue. I conclude to invest 5c., and a copy
of the Freheit is handed to me. The editor
reflects upon the propriety of a national
Thanksgiving. His language is not choice,
but rather painfully harsh. Here is a goodly
specimen:
“Out army of the unemployed, probably
will give thanks that the capitalists are so
very prosperous. Poor haggard women will
give thanks over their weak tea and dry
baker’s bread that they have been allowed
to lay up wealth for their employer:. Fac
tory children, who never see anything but
the grim shop walls by daylight, will give
thanks that the cormorants of society
have uot taken the last mouthful away
from them.”
Another article deals with the anti-Chi
nese movement on the Pacific coast, and
urges the white workingmen to expel every
greedy monopolist iustead of persecuting
the poor celestial.
ANARCHISTIC LITERATURE AND WEAPONS.
Before I proceed to inspect the curiously
decorated walls my attention is called to an
assortment of anarchistic literature si read
on a large table. The most extraordinary
productions of fever-brained revolutionists
from all countries are here exposed for sale.
The works of Herr Most occuppy the most
conspicuous place, and titles like “Gotte
spect und Religriousenche,” “Eigerithums
bestie” and “Elements of Revolutionary
Warfare ’ embellish the title pages. I open
the last book at haphazard and read:
“The best of all preparations to lie used
for poisoning is curari.
“By heating a dagger and then tempering
it iu oil of oleander, the infliction of a light
wound would te‘ sufficient to produce blood
poisoning und death.
"The cheapest and least expensive way is
to apply a mixture of red phosphorus and
gum arabieum to the dagger, cartridge, etc.
"This precious stuff [dynamite], which is
able to blast a mass of solid rock, might
also do good service at an assembly of royal
or aristocratic personages, or at” an enter
tainment patronized by monopolists.”
Herr Most, who had eyed me sharply,
asked at last: “Would you like to join our
circle, or perhaps if is only a few of your
private enemies you contemplate doing up?
All necessary information can be had bv
studying my ‘Kriegswissencraft.’ ” The hint
was a broad one, and I thought it the safest
plan to spend a dime on the “murder
pamphlet,’’ thus propitiating Che tiger in his
den.
The room might be considered at first
glance an armory. There are revolvers of
all constructions, daggers, rifles, infernal
machines, and a big saber with a rusty
scabbard. I scarcely repress a laugh
at this relic of the great French revolution,
or some equally remote historic event.
“You make a mistake by laughing,’’ said
Most, unsheathing the sword. “You will
observe the blade is as sharp as a razor,
and,” he added, with a certain pride, “the
point is, by way of experiment, coated with
a solution of cyanide of potassium.”
Tiie majority of the rifles are breech
loaders, formerly used in the United States
army, and bought by Most in large lots at
auction, for retailing among his followers.
On a shelf above the editor’s desk, a variety
of the most dangerous poisons, liquid and
solid, are openly exposed. The Anarchist
chief remark's!, with a grim smile, that lie
seriously contemplated breeding cholera and
yellow fever germs for the purpose of exter
minating mankind, rather than suffer the
present condition of society to perpetuate
itself. t
WALL DECORATIONS.
The walls of the room are almost totally
covered with pictures, portraits, newspa
per headings, etc. In crazy-quilt fashion is
arranged Lieske, Shakespeare. Hoedel, Rous
seau, Karl Marx, Four bach, Stuart Mill,
Thomas Paine, Richard Wagner, Marat,
Hiuis Sachs, St. Simon. Lassailo, Proudhon,
Anton Kammerer, Stallmocher, the Irish
patriots, Brady, Kelly, Curley,Tynan, Wil
son, Gallagher, amt Norman; a life-size
picture of Louise Michel, an excellent pho
togruph of Prince Krapotkiue, pictures
from Puck, Punch, Fleigende Blatter ,
sketches from George Eber’s “Egypt”—a
queer collection indeed.
Herr Most takes especial pride in a gibbet
traced in red lines on the whitewashed wall
and bearing portraits of tiie following per
sons : The emperors of Germany, Russia,
and Austria, Queen Victoria, President
Grevy, King Humbert, King Christian of
Denmark and his premier, Estrup; the Sliah
of Persia, the Sultan, the Emperors of China,
Japan, and Brazil, and President Cleveland.
As an illustration of the bitter feeling pre
vailing between the Anarchists and Social
ists was a caricature of Alexander Jonas,
the Socialist politician, playing a flute to
the inspiring tune “Wait till the Clouds
Roll By.”
The German Chancellor. Prince Bismarck,
is caricatured a dozen different ways, and
bloodthirsty sentiments are written beneath
the pictures. A large picture* presents the
famous Russian conspirators against Alex
ander II.; another recalls the trials of Reins
doff and comrades, charged with high trea
son; then follow some seines from the Paris
conunuue in 1871, and next to these sanguin
ary sketches an elegant fan is suspended, un
conscious of its strange surroundings. An
archistic papers from every quarter of the
world are pasted from ceiling to floor,
and we learn the existence of obscure jour
nals like At Die it, \i Maitre , Fackel, Le
Cri (hi Fenpte , Alarm, Lucifer, liecolte,
La Question Socialc. the Roumelian peri
odical Revista Socialc, ft Fasci > Opcrairo,
Der Arme Teufel and Pi ole£aren. Italians
who stray into this nest have an opportunity
of studying a “Programme Socialista, An
archic©, Revoluzionario, del Giuppo Ital
iauo. ”
Perhaps the master of this queer den will
soon view the world once more through
prison bars. Comyns Ray.
A PREHISTORIC RACE.
The Remains of an Ancient City Dis
covered in Arizona.
Washington, Nov. 7. —A correspondent
in to-day’s Post, writing from Tucson, Ariz.,
says that some very important discoveries
concerning prehistoric races have been made
during the past year by Prof. Frank Cush
man, who has charge of an exploring ex
pedition in the Salt river valley, in South
ern Arizona. The remains of an ancient
city were found. Investigation showed
that the city extended out in all directions
from a palare or temple. The foundations
of many of the houses had been exposed,
many of them consisting of but a single
room, but now and then there would lie one
of larger and more ample proportions, and
in most of these larger ones there had been
found burial vaults and skeletons. Two
thousand of these skeletons had been ex
humed. There was a general burial ground
where the dead seemed to have been thrown
in promiscuously.
Large quantities of pottery were found
in the tombs and dwellings. The finer pieces
were of many different shades, but were all
of light color, with black markings and
figures, reminding one greatly of ancient
Egyptian pottery. The interior specimens
look much like that made by the Arizona
Indians of to-day. No iron, copper or metal
instruments of anv kind have been found,
but great quantities of stone axes, stone
pestles and mortars, bone needles and
knives and other such materials as belong
to the stone age. Rut the skill with which
these articles were made was far superior to
that shown by the Indians found in Ameri
ca by the whites.
Mr. Cushman had found a good deal of
wheat and barley and other grain, all of it,
of course, in a charred and blackened condi
tion, and he had also traced several canals
and had found the ruins of a large reser
voir, so that he had no doubt that extensive
irrigation had been carried on, and that all
the valley had been under cultivation. He
thinks there must have been a population of
at least 25.000 in the ruined city he was ex
ploring, and that most of the inhabitants
lived by cultivating the soil of the surround
ing country.
Mr. Cushman thinks that these ancient
dwellers “suffered from some great calam
ity like the inhabitants of Herculaneum and
Pompeii. It was probably an earthquake.
I have found skeletons under the walls of
houses, lying as if the walls had suddenly
fallen upon the person and crushed him to
death. They were no doubt a religious
people and strongly superstitious, so that
they saw in the calamity that befel them a
warning to seek some other abode. They
probably moved south, and it may have
been their descendants that the Spaniards
found in Mexico. They were certainly
equal in intelligence and general advance
ment to the Aztecs. ”
Specimens of the houses and implements
have been gathered for the Smithsonian
Institution, in the interest of which the
investigation has been conducted.
A BRIDE’S FATE.
Paralyzed While Trying on Her Wed
ding Slippers.
From the Baltimore American.
Miss Birdie Meyberg, a prominent and
beautiful belle of St. Louis was paralyzed
in that city under most remarkable circum
stances. She is a daughter of James Mey
berg, senior member of the St. Louis firm
of Meyberg, Rothschild &. Brothers. She
was engaged to bo married on Nov. 14 to
Alfred Gernsfeld, of Albuquerque, N.
M. The wedding was to have been
celebrated in elaborate style, and
Miss Meylierg and her mother
were busily engaged in making
purchases for the happy event. On Thurs
day last, Mrs. Me. berg and her daughter
were shopping in tiie pi i ;.< pal stores of St.
Louis, and finally Entered a store on Frank
lin avenue. Mil's. Meyberg left her daugh
ter for a few minutes, and the young
lady called for some slippers. She was
loaning over, trying oil her wedding slip
pers, when she fell over in an apparent
stupor The clerksjthought the young lady
had fainted, and applied cold water to her
face, hut she did not revive. A hack was
summoned, and the unconscious girl was
carried to her home, i lithe most fashionable
part of Olive street. Mrs. Meyberg re
turned to the store, ignorant of what had
occurred. One of the clerks told her that
her daughter had dropped dead. The poor
mother was almost overcome, lyit regained
her composure, and was soon by the bedside
of the unconscious girl. Several physicians
were summoned, and after a long consulta
tion they decided that Miss Meyberg’s right
side hail been paralyzed, and gave as their
opinion that it was caused by a rush of
blood, caused by over excitement. The
young lady is still unconscious, and there is
little hope of her recovery. Her intended
husband is on his way from Albuquerque to
St. Louis, but knows nothing about the pit
iable condition of bis fiance. This case is
very remarkable, and is attracting the at
tention of the entire medical fraternity of
St. Louis.
Husbands Murdered by Wholesale.
London Special to the Philadelphia Times.
A queer and most horrible murder story
comes from Festb—one calculated to ruin
man’s i onfldence in marriage and in women
generally. Young married farmers have
been dying off with dreadful suddeness in
the villages of Syrnin in Eastern Crotia.
These young farmers were all brand-new
huslmnds, and at last their deaths all com
ing so soon alter their marriage, excited
suspicion and the matter was investigated.
It was found that an old woman hud eon
eeivisl the idea of getting pretty younggirls
to marry farmers and then poison them and
divide tne spoils. The old woman is now in
jail, and so are seven young widows to whom
she had furnished[poison with which to kill
these husbands. These arrests have all been
made this week in a single village, and lots

ECONOMY OF LABOR!
One ton of Coal, scientifically burned, heating

Cornwell & Chipman,
167 BROUGHTON STREET.
See what Dr. B. S. Purse says about them:
Masrs. Cornwell <0 Chipman:
Gents—The Range and Baltimore Heaters
placed by your firm in my residence are giving
satisfaction.
The Range is perfect in its workings, and in
addition heats the dining-room and chamber
above.
With the Heaters I can warm either of the
rooms above that which the Heater is in, and
with less fuel than I could one room with an
open grate. I believe that the saving in fuel
will soou repay one for their cost, without
speaking of their cleanliness and convenience.
I take pleasure in recommending your firm to
all who wish anything in that line.
Truly yours,
B. S. PURSE.

RUSH THEM OFF.
We want the room for other lines, and must
have it. UNDERSTAND that these suits are
NOT BROKEN,
ARE STYTLISH MATERIALS.

Why they are left is probably because they
are odd sizes. Yon may find what you want
