2 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. Augusta’s Exposition. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 9. Augusta is thoroughly aroused on the subject of the exposition, and her citizens have determined in earnest to make it the greatest show evi r 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 91,000 each last night. Yellow Jack’s Little Spurt. Tampa, Fla., Nov. 9.—Yellow Jack made a more lively kick to-day. There were seven new cases among the white citi zens. A number of colored people were taken down, but as yet the numlier is not officially reported. 'Mrs. Emma Blount nud daughter, at Orient, six miles out of Tampa, are officially reported as having tho prevailing fever. One death occurred in the hospital to-day, that of C. F. Wedding It was very warm to-day. Dr. Kilmer is Improving. Pensacola Pointers. Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 9.—Capt. Thomas Stones, of the steamer Jund, while on hm way home last night was struck in the head with a rock thrown by unknown parties. He was found insensible upon the sidewalk. His wound is dangerous, though not fatal The colored man arrested in New Orleans supposed to be Haywood Carr, the murderer who cut the throat of his mistress several months since, has proven to be the victim of a case of mistaken identity, as reported by Deputy Sheriff John Dick, of this county. A Saw Mill Boiler Bursts. YYaycross, Ga., Nov. 9.—A largetwenty horse-j>ower boiler bursted at 13. 13. Gray’s saw mill, at Pine Bloom, on the Brunswick and Western railroad, this afternoon, hurl ing the others down und demolishing the engine house. The escape of the fireman and engineer was miraculous. This will close down the mill for some time. The damage is in the neighborhood of $3,000. Five men of Waterbury, Conn., went gunning on Saturday. Their dogs pointed a quail, ami 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 brush. Four of tile men beat the brush for twenty minunes while the fifth stood ready to wing trie quail. Then it was discovered that the fifth man hud been standing on the bird all the while. FLORIDA’S METROPOLIS. A Sneak Thief Ransacks a Room in the Duval Hotel. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 9.—While Judge H. Davis and wife, of Cedar Keys, vi ere out promenading to-day a sneak t taief entered their room at the Duval Hotel and filled a satchel with the Judge’s flue linen and the lady’s jewelry, took a fine overcoat on i.is arm and walked down the stairs and out, passing the em ployes of the hotel without a question. When the ioss was discovered the police were set on his trail, but found nothing till the noon train, south-lround, on the Jack sonville, Tampa and Key West railroad was ready to start. Officer Murphy, while going through the train, noticed a satchel and coat on a seat with a man, but passed op. through. Returning, he found no one in the same seat with the articles. but the same man was in an adjoining seat. He denied any knowledge of the articles or that he had been sitting there. The stolen goods were recovered and taken to tho depot. Mr. Earle, of the Duval hotel, dissatisfied with the escape of the man, jumped on a moving train with a friend and aroused the fellow of theft. Ho strenuously denied it, but they arrested him at Orange Park and brought him back. He was taken to jail this even ing and will be tried in the morning. It is said some of his own clothes were found in •Judge Davis’ satchel. The prisoner refuses to give any name or to make any explana tion whatever. The employes of the hotel claim to identify him. anew steamer coming. Capt. A. N. Haig, writes Tysen & Cos., from Katlihamra, Sweden, that he will be here by Nov. 15 with anew steel -teainer for the Nassau trade, for l>oth passengei-s and freight.

Hartridge & Young and F. W. Pope are engaged for the defense and Dis trict Attorney MacDonell and F. E Hughes for the State. On account of the family connections of the parties involved the case will be closely watched. Joseph O’Brien, a young man who caino here from Charleston several weeks ago, found two former acquaintances, employes of Merrill & Bros., boiler makers. They took him to their rooms and endeavored to secure employment and otherwise assist him, as he was penniless. Yesterday O’Brien and $125 of his friend's money was missing. Suspicion pointed to him when the loss wa- discovered, and aft-r vainly trying to find him in thy city, Sheriff Holland was informed of the facts. Lns: night he telegraphed to five different points, and this morning he received word from ■Jesup, Ga., that the man described had been arrested. One hundred and nine dol lars was found on his person, and he was held there subject to the Sheriff’s order. Sheriff Holland sent for him to day. O’Brien had registered at the Hotel Altamaha as J. S. Lee, and was arrested by S, R. Bingham, Jesup’s Marshal. Gen. W. M. Ledwith and the County Superintendent of Public Instruction elected this morning F. P. Leonard, as instruc tor in wood work, and the uses of carpen ters’ tools, in the Colored Industrial school. Other teachers were also appointed for sewing etc. The school opens Monday, Nov. 14. Dr. Bulloch came out of quarantine this morning, and left for Savannah. He thinks the Duval county board were too hasty in t Heir action, but is uot disposed to find fault. The base ball fever is now an epidemic here The lawyers have challenged the doctors. Several of the physicians met this morning and determined to begin prac ticing at once. It is proposed by a wicked way their shirts have a red “skull and cross bones” on, while the lawyers will have a “club” embroidered on their fronts. The victors will challenge the ministers. Returns from all the public schools show an attendance of the first month of the term of 13,924. This number will probably be in creased 300 by Jan. 1. This is the large-t attendance of scholars ever had in this (Duval) countv since the establishment of public schools in Florida. A special meeting of the Scottish Associa tion will be held in the Jacksonville Board of Trade rooms, by permission, on Friday evening, Nov. 11, at 7:130 o'clock, standard time, to transact the following business: Action in regard to the decease of Capt.

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 of other arrests are ant icipated. Engaged and newly married couples in that part of the country are not very confident of their standing at present. Congha and Cnldn. Those who are suffering from Cougbs.

ECONOMY OF MONEyT ECONOMY OF FUEL! ECONOMY OF LABOR! One ton of Coal, scientifically burned, heating as many rooms as four in open grates, by using our HEATERS. 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. PORTRAITS. The Great Southern Portrait Company, SAVANNAH. GEORGIA. L. B.
