WORK OX THE SOUTH BRUNSWICK.
Telegran s teceived from McDernui &
Ross, contractors of the South Brunswick
road, who ordered work stopped some days
ago awaiting an understanding with the
officials, instruct W. E. Tench, their repre
sentative here, to resume work with an in
creased force at once, as all the misunder
standings have been settled.
Ten days from the date of challenge was
allowed the Barnes vide band to accept the
challenge to play the Atlantic* of this city
for SSOO a side. Two days of the ten only
remain, and as the Atla itics have heard
nothing < fficially from the Barnesvilliaits,
i# looks like a back down on the part of
Barnesviile. The challenge stat. and that the
Atlanties would play the same number as
their competitors.

away. The injured tteg oes are recovering.
A FATHER UNDER A CLOUD.
Chargee that a Sumter County Man
Ruined His Own Daughter.
Americcs, Ga., July 23. —William Jarvis
of this county, who as always borne a
good character morally and fi lancially, is
now resting under a most hei ious charge.
About two weeks ago his daughter left
home, and the re ort became current soon
after that she fled from the brutal assaults
of her father who force i her to submit to
bis lisentious desires. These reports being
traced to the girl and her mother, the
neighbors met last Saturday to investigate
the charges. A committee was appointed
to visit the girl, wh > is with an u .cle ii
Terrell county. The committee has not re
ported, but the information to-lay is that
Jarvis has fled. The indignation in his
neighborhood is great If he is caught and
the charges fully proven, the indications
point to speedy punishment.

THE SIBTj,RB’ SAD STORY.
Their Father Was Once Treiaurer of
the United States—The Misfortunes
of Their Lives.
From the Washington Post.
The sad case3 of the Misse3 Selden, who
were taken from their home at 1833
Eleventh street, to St. Elizabeth’s insane
asylum on Friday, hasawakeuel universal
sympathy in the community, both among
tho general public and by those who knew
them and their family connections. Tney
belonged to one of the oldest families in the
di trict, and in the days when tho best
society was ruled b the native families
theirs occupied a leading position.
Virginia, tho e.dosc of the ladies, had
always boon recog nzed as a remarkable
"Oman. Strong of will, she was proud,
hiaugutv and reserved. Her face was
al nost Madonna-like 111 its contour and pla
cidity of express,o ~ her hair was of the
richest brown, and a pair of beautiful eyes
of the same colo caused n nervous twite i
in the heart of many a galla it in tho days
of thelo ig ago, when, as the daughter ot
t-e treasurer of the United States, aud by
virtues of her own beauty ami aeoo nplish
ments, she was a popular belle in capital
society.
Tue second daughter. Lillie, was lookei
U( on as the pu-ticularly clover girl of a
very clever family. Sue was of a literary
turn of mind, and was bet er read man tue
vast majorities of you g ladies. She pos
sesses! an interes ing face, and while not as
handsome as he> state. s, had a power of
conversation a. id a cnarm of maimer which
endeared her to all.
T o youngest, Florence,who is now about
28 years old, is a beautiful wo nan, pos ess
mg that rare combination of brown eyes
and go.den air. So much did she resem
ble tue well-known picture of the turbanod
Beatrice di Oeuci that a rela.ive once pre
sente 1 her with a portrait of tue latter set
in briliau s.
All three have refused many offers of
marriage, and in recent years nave led a
life of seciusi 111, shunning the best society,
in which t iey previously move l. Tueir
father, William Selden, was treasurer of
the United States for fa t f vears, and the
secluded life of the daughters began wi„h
his death, thei" mother having died just
previously. The lather died with a ea car
of the eye, and during his long and terrible
illness his three daughters were lie m s
devoted of nurses. Whe 1 the grave had
closed over him Miss Virgi it became mo
rose to such an exte.itth t it dovelopod into
tnela cholia, and hor depress o of atari s
was communicated to her younger sisters,
especially to .Miss Liliie.
Virginia had a sir ing sense of the pro
prieties ad an incident occurred some
years ago which wounded he prou 1 nature
a id caused her to shut herself ,ip still more
olosely from the world. Her half trottier,
William, married a Mi-s Shriller, and toe
marriage was kepi secret for several uonths.
Tnat her half bro he 's wife should have
heed using a card with "Miss" engrave i o .
it while slie .as a married woman so shocked
Virginia that a total estrangement re
sulted between harand'her half hrotueraud
his wife.
Recently another brother, who was looke l
upon as a somewhat wild young man, took
a position as a marker in a billiard room, or
in so ne such capacity. This the ladies
looked up m as a d.sgrace to their name
and familv, and it has preyed on their
minds ever since.
About two years ago the sisters opposed
the marriage of another brot ler. Tne
marriage did not take p ace and a i estra ige
me it followed, but whether it his since
continued is not known, for neither friends
nor rela ives nave as a rule bee i aole to get

A HAUNTED SPOT.
The Mysterious Spirit of Myrtle Pond.
Prom the Brunswick t Oct.) Times.
There is a lonely and eque tered spot in
the woods around Brunswick who e no ne
gro man, woman or child will dare be
found.
In what is generally knowu as Fulton’s
pasture, near Gixviile and facing the boule
vard, is a pond of stagnant water, the sur
roundings of which are all suggestive of
quiet and solitude. The surface of tae pond
is (lotted with small clumps of sand,
upon which a myrrie bush in
variably grows. The pond itself is
about 500 yards in circumference, with
an average depth of IQ f et. It ii said
that no negro will go near this pond at an.
hour of the day, and investigation has
prove i the statement to be true. Upon
questioning one of these prejudiced danues
a Times reporter learned tne following
cause for shunning it by the colored people:
Wav ack yonder in the early par of the
year 1860 a young negro girl was se it by
her mother to gather wood in the neighbor
hood of tho pond and she never returned.
Search 'as made for nor, but nothing was
found except ..er wide-brimmed straw hat,
winch was found floating on the
stagnant water. Tne community
was aroused and turned out
eu masse to find the missing chill. Thev
failed to find her. One and irk night about
one year after this strange di-appearance a
lone negro fisherman la ided at the bluff,
near where tho boulevard bridge now
stands, and gathering up his oars, o irlocks
and tho few fish he ad been fortunate
eoougti to catch, proceeds 1 on his way
home. It being co isidorably nearer for
him ti “out” turough these woods he did so
and had to pass directly by tne po id i .
ti lestion. As he pick 'd nis wav carefully
through the underbrush his keen-sig ited
eyes p ering eagerly ihrough the darkness,
a s.ra .ge sound met his e rs. It was tne
v ice of a child singing some weir aid
discordant n tesof a wed-known plantation
air. The fisher nan paused and listened. It
seemed a t if the source of the song was
drawing nearer. At last, aim st paralyzed
with far, the old negro called out:
“Who’s there?”
The song su Idenly ceased and an answer
ing v ice 'as h aril.
“ i he spir t of Vlyrtle Pond.”
So weird and uneart dy was the answer
that the oid turned and ran i:i the
direction from whica he came, while the
ghostly music was lesumed.
The fisherman reacned his cottage by a
more roundabout way, that night, aud is
family in their humble cot listened to his
recital f the thrilling experience he had
pa sed through. The story spa id until it
was general talk am g the superstitious
negroes and not one dared approach tue
pond.
Two little negro boys came running in to
their “mammy” one day recently and told
a hair-plating nar ative of now, while o t
ne r the pondplayi ig, a white rob'd figure
appeared before them singing a plaintive
melody. I'hey hail run .mine as fast as
possible, so frightoaed were they by the
apparition.
Spenser's 111 Luck.

A FOUNTAIN OF LIFE.
Ablutions in It Make You Feel Like a
New Man.
From the Washington Pas'.
Boontox, N. J. t Julv 21.— Experts in
search of the elixir of life should come to
Boonton. Perhaps the inhabitants of this
quiet little Jersey town, along the banks of
the raging Ib-ckawav river and the placid
Morris canal, may be mistaken, but they
really fee! that they have a life renewer i..
the shape of a spring. It is a combination
of a spring an i a well and it is rig it in the
middle of the river, where tbe eaters rush
thr ugh the prettiest knu of a ravine. It
is an oid p >ol, clear as a crystal and per
petually cool.
The pool lielongs to the famous Couper
Lord estate, the estate of the fam ly
whence came Daniel Lord and the big firm
of Lord lawyers in .Now York. Brown
Brothers, tue celebrated banker-, also be
long to the same family. The spring in
question, so far as its bracing and health
restoring properties are concerned, was dis
covered by Benjami Vicoll. Nieoll is a
brother of Delaney Niooii, who cuts such a
figure in law and politics in New York
occasionally. Beuja uin was the captain of
tue P i:ie,-tun fresbnia 1 crew that won the
race at Sarat- >ga in 1'74, the onl v Princeton
crew tb t ever won a race. lie 111 irried
one of the Miss Lords, and in that way
came out to Boonton to look after tue iron
mills and other intere ts belonging to the
estate, and has a summer residence near
the river.
ihe pool attracted Niooll’s attention as a
first, rate plaue lor a bath. He tried it one
day and found it wonderfully invigorating.
So he built u spring-h aril out over tho
dge, and from it he and his friend, dive
and wn into the cool deptns. Last summer
was t o first that the wat r was tried, b t
only this year has it come into constant use.
>lr. Nieoll was deLghte 1 witu tbe bath
from the start and tile pleasi ig fea u e
su prised him one by one. In tho fir-it
place tie found that wuile the river mshed
anil swirled around ti e bathing spot, and
occasiouall. made waves roll over thesur
tac •, dowu beneath a spring bubbled up
and sent a sparkling uid effervescent ki ,and of
wa er uearly to the surf ice. The water is
so clear that the bottom ot the poo), some
fifteen teet from the top, can be seen per
fectlv.
The place where the spring gurgles out of
the rocky bottom and sends its bubbles,
like the bubbles that go upward in a glass
of champagne, toward the surface, can be
plainlv perceive i. The next tuing noticed
•%as the bu >ya t effect of a hath in the pool
upon tne entire system. He ot only came
mt of the b 1 b cool and clean, hut efel,
11 1 usually refreshed. He felt, as he ex
pressed it, as though he had been in a cham
pagne bath. lie experienced the exhilarat
ing feeling that most peop.e feel after drink
1 g several glasses of particular!v livelv
champagne. A plunge in the pool was better
than any medicine. It mended all physical
I is and revived tne lagging energies.
Nieoll told some .f nis friend t, and they
have bat ed repeatedly in the wate s
They are all enthusiastic, ami so are come
of his townspjopie, who have taken quiet
plunges. \V. Dwight Wiman, the eldest
.on of Erastus Wiman, Robert Gilmnur,
the asbestos dealer, a id James T. Perkins,
the man wno converts mill cinder into the
paint with wnich Pulhna 1 parlor cars are
painted, all confirm what Nieoll savs: They
ad declare that this Boontou pool is a mod
ern Bethe da. While they do not know
that diseases would be cured by a laving iu
its waters, 1 hey know that every bath re
news life and makav a man feel many years
youn or when he came out than wnen he
went in.
Wnat causes these revigorating propertie.
can only be surmised. Medical examina
tion will un ioubtedly be made ef re long,
and then some good reason will doubtless be
advanced. Af.ei re Gaining in the pool
half an uour, you ome oat .vith a gio.v of
II -alth and a foaling of strength and con
tentment tha only c >me now and then in
a lifetime. You soinenow feel sure that if
you could take that plunge every day, you
youth would be renewed perpetually, ad
you would tie a living example of Rider
Haggard’s “Sue.”
The Figures Fetched Him.
Prom the Sew York W,>r!d.
"Give me a good square and ink of rye
whisky,” was tho specific request of a de
morailzed-lookiug tramp as fie approached
tue German saloonkeeper.
Mr. Pfnlsgraff tapped gently on the bar
to suggest tuat it was necessary tuat he
should at least see tba complexion of his
customer’s m mey.
“i’hat bit of nantomine means that you
exiiecc money, I suppose. Well, I’m a mtu,
ot few words ami absolutely devoid of de
ception. I haven’t got it. I need a deep
draugat of re a liquor, and on this ooca
si m I must rely solely on my face aud
figure.”
Mr. Pfalsgraff proceeded to state with
Considerable rehameuceand wobbly K ig-
Usn tuat it was mighty bad security, and in
his place of business would not go tor a red
aud solitary cent. In addi i-n ue set forth
that the applicant was nothing more than
a beer tank at best, and the country was al
ready to i full of bums of that kind.
“Ixuw, look here, Datcby,” said the
tramp, "y. u make au assertion that I can’t
permit to go uacnaileuged. You iutimate
diat 1 am a i eery b nil and tuat the coun
try is flllol to overfl iwing with people of
my class. Th t is a serious imputation.
With >ut making ays ecille denial in my
own case, I must speak out ii behalf of my
outraged countrymen. Now, pay attent.oa
t ( me,” and he fixed M . Pfaisgratf with
hu boozy eye. “I take it tuat you have
mt seen the figures ju t issued by the
chief of the bureau of at Waso
itigto.i?”
“I t >n’t care von tarn abaud dot. 1 know
ray own peezeness, uud der viggers t
der viurean of stadivdeoks cau go bv Hali
fax.”
‘‘But not so fast, my German friend,”
continu and the tramp, calmly. “These figures
have been prepa ed for the treasury and
- me it at an enormous expense to tue
government and are of the greatest im
liortauce. These statistics show that in
stead of iwing a country of beer and whiskv
guzz.ei-s we a> e the most temperate people
ou the face uf the earth.”
“Py cbiminy, I like you to prove dot.”
“Very well.’ Let us see where we stand
with inference t > your own coun ry, for in
stance. Mr. Switzer, chief of the bureau,
presents flgu es to how that we produced
i t 1887 oulv 765.dfi l,00i) gallons of malt
ltqu >r against 1,165,835,000 gallons in Gor
ina y.”
“I'll dot so?”
“You just net it’s so. N iw, take E is
land. Ii 1887 E island—little, old, dried
up En.lami—produced 1,J15,881,000 gal
lons of beer against our paltry 765,000,000
gall ms. What do you think of taut!"
“Veil, I didn’t >xpect dot.”
“No. of course you didn’t. How could
you? Though my appearance this morui ig
may i e against me. i am a gentleman of
education and disc irnme it ad have ace ss
to this lmport&i tli ,e of i .formation, I see
vou are interested in these figures, as every
ousi less tna.i should bo, and I ill develop
them a little further. The statistics sup
plied by Mr. Si itzer sh iw us t.ie surpris
ing fact that the people of tne United
states drauk, per capita, ii 1887, less than
13 gall is of b er, w il .he pe pie of Gar
ina y drauk over 34 gallons, or more tna.i
3 gallons to our 1."
“Py goodness, I didn’t know dot of Ger
many.”
“It’s a fact, though. Now, my esteemed
friend, you see who are the guzzlers aud
wli • are not.”
“Veil, I should sed so. Ton’t say some
dings about and ise viggers to de poys by der
saio .n, u.id haf s uue t inks init me.”
“Uertai.ily, Mr. Pfalgra.f. I have no
desire to spread t .is information br adcast.
Beei ? No. You ta e tue beer. I’ll take
wh sky. Our per capita average iu the
tn .tter of whisky is eva.t lower than it is iu
beer, and i’ll help to raise it a trifle.”
And be aided thiee good fingers to the
general average.
Turned the Hose on the Governor.
From the (W'in.) Journal, Ju'y 17.
Gubernatorial dignity met w.th a serious mia
hap a few evening* since. Gov. Hoard was
sitting on an v ran da on a pi* asant
evening, to*:e?h“r with quite a parry of ladies
and ireritleinen. wbi.e a y un_r lady of 'he
i.eitfhborrfO* -d was playfully dallying with a
l.oae oa the lawn in front. Occasionally she
would shly pe mit some spray to settle
gently over tbe part.. at once naively apolo
gizing for dereliction. F’nally, the qr-'V-T
--nor, w ho wa.s in a mood for fun himself, quietly
arjee, and. witn a twinkle in bi* **ye. sauntered
down the walk in the direction of the voting
lady, of cour-e intending, wh n a good oppor
tunity offered, to seize the hose and the
ro/u sh ri a dr aching: for Ler mis
- *'tiievi_>u ')ranrß. But the latter, though ap
l**itrintf utterly u .cons :ous of her surround
i ;*rs. was keenly on the alert, and. when tho
governor was ad but ready to spring his jok**,
she suddenly whirled and turnei the ho e
squarely on him. A powerful stream struck
the manly executive- boson, played fodively
about the face, an l wet the man fr- ui nead to
foot Whil • the delu ed governor, spluttering
an 1 dripping, st o<l dumfourided o i the lawn,
his fair tormenter fle l across the reet, her
merry laughter echoed by the many
amuse*! spectators of the humorous episode.
According to a Pittaburg clergyman, who
has been investigating the condition of the
blind in Europe, Saxony do.*s more for
them than any other country of that con
tinent.
