A GOOD-SIZED SENSATION.
The Youngtr Element of Macon So
ciety Receives a Shook.
From the Macon (Ga.i Telegraph.
It is seldom that an advertisement
creates so mnch indignation as did the
one in tlio "one-cent-a-word column" of
the Telegraph yesterday morning.
The advertisement was signed by
Harry Edwards, the well-known writer,
and stated that if tiie person who took a
diamond ring from his house on last Sat
urday did not return it within forty
eight hours arrest would follow.
On last Saturday the Terpsichorean
Society, composed of the younger branch
of Macon society, gave their annual pic
nic at the country home of Mr. Edwards,
which is about four miles from the city
in the East Macon district. The day was
cold and damp, and the ehiof amusement
of tiie picnickers was dancing. Mr and
Mrs. Edwards, throwing open their spu
mous parlors for that purpose, and giving
the young people entire freedom of the
house.
The Terpsichoreans had invited a large
number of their young lady friends, and
one of the bed rooms of the house was
placed at their service as a dressing room.
In a jewel case in this room was a dia
mond ring, which was found missing after
the picnickers returned to the city,
which was after dark.
ior some reason not known to the pub
lic, Mr. Edwards suspected one of the
young ladies as the party who took the
ring, and Monday came into the city and
put the advertisement itt the Telegraph.
It seems that Mr. Edwards also spoke to
a number of parties about the theft of the
ring and told them that he know which
of the young ladies took it.
The advertisement was read by hun
dreds of people yesterday morning, among
whom were the members of ihe Terpsi
choreans, which started a wave of indig
nation that grew larger as they met each
other and discussed the matter.
Each member look the ‘advertisement
as not only a reflection on .himself, but
upon their lady guests, and when they
learned that Mr. Edwards had said it
was a lady their indignation increased to
tho highest pitch, and Mr. Edwards was
soundly condemned and even threatened
for not specifying who tho lady was in
stead of putting each one of them under
the ban of suspicion by saving it was ono
of them. Many of the Terpsichoreans
had relatives among tho ladies, and they
wenf so far as to say that Mr. Edwards
had to either publish or have arrested
the party suspected or else retract his ad
vertisement,
Later in the day it was learned that
some of Mr. Edwards’ relatives had
given out the name of the young lady
suspected, but this only increased the in
dignation of the Terpsichoreans, as the
young lady belongs to one of the first
families in Georgia. Her parents are not
in the city, hut she has a number of male
relatives here, who, up to last night,
were evidently in ignorance of tho serious
charge brought against her. The .young
lady's friends arc loth to inform her rela
tives of the charge under which she is
resting until they have given Mr. Ed
wards every opportunity to remove tho
stigma from her name without publicity,
as the fear that serious results
would ensue, her relatives being quiet,
peaceable men, hut such men as would be
first to resent such a charge against a
member of their family.
I-ast night the Torpsiehoreans held a
meeting an 1 a committee was appointed
ty>eeli on Mr. Edwards and demand of
him that he, either Openly state whom tie
suspects of taking the ring, or else with
draw his advertisement reflecting on
every youngJad v. ar>l every metnoer, for
that matter, present at his home on Sat
urday.
The young lady in question is in every
respect above reproach or suspicion, and
those who know her say they can never
he made to believe that she is guilty of
the crime charged against her.and she was
on the street yesterday afternoon with a
number of companions in her usually
happy 'and amiable mood, it docs not
scorn possible that any one who ever
locked into her pure, innocent face could
. bedcvLlmr guilty .of even the slightest in
discretion.
The Terpsichoreans are of the opinion
that the ring has only been misplaced or
perhaps stolon by one of the servants, of
whom they say there were a number
about the premises on Saturday.
There is a general impression that seri
ous trouble will grow out of the affair.

A Horrible Creature Who Lives in a
Cave and Doesn’t Want Work.
From the Courier Journal.
flarrodsburg, Ky.. May 10.—Over in
Washington county, near the line of Mer- j
cer, reigns a being, whether man or beast j
mystifies all the neighborhood. For
mouths the housewives have missed their
chickens, eggs, milk, meat from meat
houses, and half-grown pigs and young
lambs. At first all efforts and schemes
to catch the guilty ono proved of no avail.
Whitfecap bands are organized, und sev
eral suspected whipped or shot.
About ten days ago Jack Agee told
what lie saw emorgitig from his spring
house, and as the story got circulated the
children and women were scared nearly
out of their wits. The male portion of
the neighborhood, however, would put no
credence in the story, but on the quiet all
set watch for the strange being, and
Wednesday of last week Joseph Ewalt
arose one morning before day aurt went to
the spring house, a hunbred yards distaut
from his dwelling. His wife and nearly
grown son, becoming alarmed at his con
tinued absence, went in search of him,
and found him at the door of tho spring
house in a faint. They restored him to
consciousness, and he told them he had
seen Sack Agee's man-beast, and that he
ran out of the spring house as ho openod
the door; that lie hud great, long white
hair hanging down- from his head and
face that was as coarse as a horse's mane.
His legs were covered with hair, anl the
only article of clothing lie wore was a
piece of sheepskin over the lower portion
of his body, reaching nearly to his knees.
He said a light came from his eyes and
mouth similar to lire.
When it became noised around that
Ewalt had seen Agee's man-beast, pober
headed men began to think and set a p:an
to catch the monster, be it what it may.
In the ueighbophood near the mouth of
Deep creek is a care of considerable pro
portions, and the natural conclusion of
nearly all was that there would be the
place to find their game. In the mean
time they us a neighborhood were to keep
watch for sights of their man-beast, and
early Sunday morning Eph Boston and
his sons, Tom and James, saw tiie ob.ect
of their wati h walking in a half gallop,
half run for tlirir barn. Notwithstand
ing the men were armed, they were badly
frightened, and after they saw the object
enter the barn all three were afraid to
enter to try and capture the terribie look-
ing creature. They kept hid and were not
seen by the monster, standing
in a half-erect position nearly
six feet ami a half. His feet
were like those of a bear or brute, with
long claws. His hands also were like
those, of a feline more than a human. The
men had only to wait a few minutes. In
fact, before they could eomo to some
action or get over their fright the crea
ture came out of the barn in the same
half gallop-run gait and made for the creek.
B.v this time the men started in safe pur
suit. Tom Boston foolishly shot at it,
and the creature half turned and'glanced
at them, increasing his gait, but never
dropping the three largo chiokens ho held
in his claws. The Bostons managed to
keep in sight of the creature for only a
half mile or so, they vowing he ran i
swifter than a horse. Just as they got to ;
the top of a hill about 500 yards of! they ;
were rewarded b.v seeing the brute-roan j
turn with a wild, scared look, glance j
around, aud enter the cave.
The men went to the mouth of the cave,
but would not enter. They saw feathers,
bones, etc., scattered around the entrance.
They returned home, reported what they
had seen, and Tuesday tney, with half a
dozen other men, went to the care and
made a partial survey, proceeding in
several hundred yards. They saw fresh
indications of habitation by bones, foa
thers. pieces of calf and sheepskin being
strewn around. The passage grew
smaller and dwindled, and no one of the
party would enter alone, though one Joe
.Smith went in thirty or forty feet, when
tho most unearthly yell the men had ever
heard greeted them. They were good,
stout men, but they cowed before
that yell, and boat a hasty retreat to the
main passage of the cavern, but after
consultation they agreed it would nut do
to kill or be killed, and they gave up their
search foranother time. The men brought
two bludgeons from tho cave with them
that showed considerable handling, and
resembled an Indian war club.
Another party will make a survey of
the cave in an olTort to capture the mon
ster. In the meantime women and chil
dren are-sta.ving indoors in that neighbor
hood. The men built a great heap of
brush and wood, and tried to smoke him
out, but could not.
Almo.st Anything' You Want From
This Well.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Edgeley, N. D., May 17.—The artesian
wPli iiere, in which water was struck
Monday morning:, is throwing: up an im
mense body of water, mixed with beach
sand, pieces of gold quartz, wood, lignite,
coal, and other minerals. Toward mid
night it was accidentally discovered that
the water was heavily surcharged by gas,
which took fire from one of the torches,
and was with difficulty extinguished. A
six-inch connecting pipe laid laterally was
then'run outside the working tower, and
the gas can now bo lighted or extin
guished at will. If the supply of gas
kceps up it will furnish light and fuel for
ail the uses of the town. The well is
about 1,300 feet deep, tho hole through
the earth being eight Inches in diameter.
A six-inch casing runs to tho bottom, and
another eight-inch casing runs aboutfifty
feet down. A visitor to the well yes
terday dug out of tho sand in front
of where the water empties a piece
of quartz about half the size of a man's
fist that contained a large amount of free
gold.
Unique Grounds for a Damage Suit.
Montgomery, Ala.. May 14.—Suit Jins
beeu filed iu Jackson county, Alabama,
by the executors of the late R. C. Ross,
claiming damages of $20,000. against the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
Last December Cashier R. C. Ross, of the
Firs t National Bank of Scottstoro, was
shot and killed by the four Skelton boys
at bflevenson, for the seduction of their
sister, Miss Annie Skelton. All of the
parties wero high in social life. Ross be
ing married and having a family. All
the parties lived in Scottsboro. On tho
day of the killing Ross was in Stevenson,
twenty miles away, and his brother,
learning that the Skelton boys had set
out to find him, wired Cashier Ross, tho
, complaint alleges, of his danger. Had
-the message been delivered, the com
plainants claim, Boss would have got out
of the way and the murder would have
been averted. The best legal talent in
the state will prosecute the case.
INDICTMENTS BURNED,
Ex-Assistant Dislrict Atiomtj Pur
dy's Singular Van.
Plot of the Lottery King—A Clerk
Bribed to Steal Accusations Hade by
Grand Jurors.
From the Now York Press.
Ex-Assistant District Attorney Am
brose H. Purdy yesterday told a remark
able story of alleged crookedness in the
district attorney’s office under the ad
ministration of the late Mr. Phelps. It
was to the elect that Moses Clark, at
that time ctuef clerk in the district at
torney’s office, was paid a salary of |s<s()
a week by the lottery men, who were then
doing business all oyer the city, to steal
the indictments found against them, so
that their caess would never be called
for trial. These indictments, to the num
ber of several thousand, were taken by
Clark to his home in Matawan, N. J., and
stowed away in a large safe. When Clark
was on his deathbed, three lottery men,
one of whom was Eph Simmon'S, another
is dead and the name of the third is with
held, sat in the house waiting for him to
breathe his last. When the eudcame an
expert burglar was summoned to the
house. He broke open the safe, and the
three men burned the indictments.
Mr. Purdy would not trit e the names of
any one in New York, now living, who
could verity or controvert the story, and
it is given with only his assurance of its
accuracy. District Attorney Fellows,
when the tale was outlined to him, said
that it sounded very much as though it
had been coined from the imagination.
He declared that there was not even a
tradition in the district attorney's office
to corroborate Mr. Purdy's novellette.
Anthony Comstock, who was instrumen
tal in securing most of the indictments
that are alleged to have been stolen and
destroyed, said that he was not surpris and
at the story, as he knew that hundreds of
indictments against Simmons' men were
stolen at the time Clark was chief clerk
in District Attorney Phelps' office,
realty's pthangr tape.
According to Mr. Purdy, it all hap
pened over fifteen years ago, when Eph
Simmons, the lottery king of that day,
came to New York front New Orleans
und opened offices all o'er the city. Lot
tery tickets tould bo purchased in this
city as easily as in the southern metrop
olis, and Comstock started a crusade to
purify the city of lo'tery gamblers.
Scores of raids were made, and evidence
was s.cured on which hundreds of in
dictments were found. But few of the
men atrainst whom indictments had
been found were called lor trial, in spite
of pressure brought to bear on the dis
trict attorney's office Finally, when
this became so heavy that it could no
longer be resisted, a search was made
and it was announced that the in
dictments, togetiter with the -evidentft
on which they had been found, had disap
peared.
The manner of their disappearance is
now explained to the pnblie for the first
time b.v Mr. Purdy. Eph. Simmons, who
is still living, but is believed to be in the
south, had unlimited money behind him
to protect the lottery interests in the
north, as he was loyal Jo. his agents.
While his money could not prevent the
finding of indictments, it could foresta.i
action being taken lippn them. This, it
is asserted, was accomplished through
Moses Clark, lie was pi via a .regular
salary of fsod a week, to earn which ho
bound himself to stonl every indictment
against lottery men that found its way i
into the district attorney's olice. He nut
them into his pocket, took them to his
home in New Jersey out of the juris
diction of the New York courts, but was
too much of a craven lo destroy them. So
he placed them iu tho big safe which
stood in the room adjoining his sleeping
room. But, so the story goes, he did not
confine his thefts to indictments against
lottery men. Having gone that Jar he
went further, and lor heavy "fees” held
back the papers in hundreds of cases that
ranged in gravity of offenro ail the way
from petty misdemeanors to any’ crime
short of murder. In this way he is al
leged to have accumulated a large fortune,
, .id finally retired to en o.v it. He main
tained a luxurious establishment in
Matawan and entertained lavishly.
When the warning came that he was
dying tho lottery men were panic
stricken. They knew that their confe icr
ate had never destroyed the indictments,
and If they were found after his death
the result would be serious. So they has
tened to the death hed. Noone know the
combination to the safe but Clark, and
when they arrived ho was past giving it
to them. So they waited for the end, and
when it came they consulted on what w as
to he done. They searched for tiie com
bination, but could not find it. Then they
doeided to have the safe “cracked,’' and
one of tho three men came to New York,
and returned with a notorious safe burg
lar, who is still living, and is well known
to the police. He broke open the safe, ro
; ceit od his reward and left. The lottery
! nun found 5.0U0 indictments in the safe,
; and then fell to fighting with each other
