ENTOMBED ALIVE
In the summer of 1S78 Senor Honran

one evening a lady, closely veiled, enter-

curiously constructed, and an aourelaps-
before a key could be made t-: fit it. The
lailv seemed nervous at I he delay, and
at length requested the locksmith to
close the door. This suggestion occa
sioned some supiise or the part of Hon-
ranilez, but he willingly compiled. Shut
ting the door and returning 10 his work,
the ltuly withdrew her veil, disclosing a
- weet, intelligent face. There was a
restlessness in the eye a ad a pallor in J , .. .

every emotion for her could give place

“Perhaps 'you are not well, madam,

the locksmith, inquisitely.

Honrandez’s eyes. The thought dashed
across his mind that she intended to

and his secret together. She secnieiWo
read his suspicion, and continued: “Do
not be alarmed; you are not the man.”
Honrandez could not mistake the mean

he bent his head to the handkerchief.
His eyes were earcfullyjbandaged, and
he was feel to the carriage, and thence

The money seemed to be cursed. From
that night "Honrandez neglected his
flourishing business, and with the $500
and that which lie had managed to save,
he plunged into a life of dissipation
which in a short time efided fatally.
In the meanwhile the sudden disap
pearance of Senor Covasso, the wealthy
hanker, became the universal topic of
conversation, and though his wife gave
every sign of poignant grief over the ab
sence of Senor, the knowing ones wink
ed significantly at each other, andwhis
pored that Senor Cavasso’s whereabouts
were clouded in the deepest mystery.
Tue police could obtain no elew, and
Senoia pretended the utmost sorrow for
her lost husband. It was known that
tlie two did not live happily together,
hut nothing further could not tie elicited
whereby a tangible clew could be ob
tained.’
Honrandez had drifted from bad to
worse, until, thrown upon a tied of de
lirium he was given up by physicians as
a hopeless case. While tossing in his
delirium he graphically described the
incidents on the nightof hisopeningthe
vault, which facts coming to tlie cars of
tlie police, an investigation was made,
and when the vault was opened Senor
Cavasso’s remains were found. While
sleeping under tlie drug administered by
his wife, he was carried to the vault and
awoke to find himself entombed alive.
Before tlie officers succeeded in taking
Senorato jail she had cut an artery in
her arm and bled to death. Honrandez
died in all tlie agonies of delirium tre

A GHOST STORY.
A Spectre Surrounded by Colored UgbU Invade
an Atkoni Boarding Bouse.
For a number of years k that fine
old mansion op. Prince avenue, the
property of Dr. Speer and now
occupied by Mrs. Davis as a college
boarding-house, has borne the repu
tation of being haunted. It is said
that ont gentleman purchased this
property and moved his family
therein, but the next day he vacated
the premises in a snow storm, but
refused to give any reason therefor.
A number of families, who scouted
the idea of the supernatural, have
rented the house, but soon left.
There is a large octagon room
therein which is said to be the espe
cial rendezvous for departed spirits,
and they hold nightly carnival in its
spacious walls. All kinds of mirac
ulous stories are told of a visit, in
the dead hours of night, by a figure
clothed in white and surrounded by
pale lights, that vanished into mist
when approached. A young lady
slept in this room one night, hut at
12 o'clock the household was arous
ed with the most piercing shrieks,
ller room was invaded and the fair
occupant found in a swoon upon the
floor. She said that the wealth of
the world would not induce her to
spend another night in that house.
But of late years the ghost seems to
have been “layed,” for nothing was
heard of it. On Sunday night last
several students were rooming
the haunted chamber, and as the
clock struck twelve the door was
seen to noiselessly open and a
white-robed figure, surrounded by
the death lights, walked into the
chamber and glided toward the bed
of two of the occupants. The boys
did not stop to investigate the mat
ter, but made a bolt for the nearest
exit, leaving the unearthly visitor
in quiet possession. The house was
at once alarmed, but upon again re
pairing to the room nothing was
seen. All the boys agree in their
description of the ghost, and are
now prepared with pistols in case it
repeats the visit. We doubt not
but this spirit is enrolled among the
attendance on the Stale University.

Examining the bandage to sec that his
vision was completely obscured, the la
dy handed Honrandez tho bundle of
tools with which lie was provided; then
taking him by tlie arm led him through
a aate into a house, and, after taking
him along tlie passage way which was
about fifty feet in length, and down a
(light of stairs into what was evidently
an underground basement, stopped be
side a vault and removed the handker
chief from Ids eyes.
Here Is tlie vault—open ft,” said she,
springing tlie door of a dark lantern anil
throwing a beam of light upon the lock.
Honrandez seized the buncli of skele
ton keys, and, after a few trials, which
tlie lady seemed to watch with the most
painful anxiety, sprang the bolt. The
door swung upon its hinges, and the la
dy telling llonrandez not to close, as it
was self-looking, sprang into the vault
Honrandez did not follow. He heard
tlie murmur of low voices within, and
tlie iiext moment the lady- reappeared,
and leaning upon her arm a man with
face so pale and haggard that Honrandez
started at the sight. What intense suf
fering the unfortunate man must have
endured during the three long days of
his confinement!”
The'two slowly ascended the stairs and
entered a room immediately over wh«Ve
llonrandez was standing. In less than
aminute the lady returned.
“Shall I close it, madam?” said Hon
randez, placing his hand upon the door
of the vault.
“Not no!” she exclaimed, haatlly
arising his arms; “it awaits another oc

to show that they were alive, the

t t e% D ra ,' da y* a B° Miss Margaret
J. E. Butler, a young girl of 18 sum
mers living over the river, had Mr.
Greet. P. Lewis, who is employed in
the Athens factory, arrested under a
warrant charging him with effect
ing her ruin, under the promise of
marriage, and then refusing to do
her the only act of reparation that
was in his power. In default of a
bond Lewis was placed in jail, and
the hearing of the case set for yes-
terday. Early in the morning it was
rumored that the trouble would be
compromised by a public marriage,
and the Banner-Watchman detailed
a reporter to gather all the particu
lars. Upon repairing to the court-
!’°. l ' se be founu the prospective
bride, accompanied by her mother
a [T, y ? Unger sister > on hand. The
old lady was weeping bitterly, but
the girl seemed perfectly composed
and as tranquil as a spring morn-
tng. W hen the reporter approach-
ed her for an interview she asked:
“Are you a newspaper man?”
“Yes, ” was the reply.
“Well, then, I don’t mind telling
you all about it. Green Lewis has
been courting me for some time
and we were engaged to be married
on the 24th of last May, but on ac
count of the death of my father the
ceremony was postponed, and at
his request the time fixed for the
following October. He was a con-
stant visitor at our house, and recog-
nized by the family as my future
husband. So no restraint was put
upon us. and taking advantage of
the confidence of my mother in his
honor and my confiding heart, un-
iler . the most solemn promise of
marriage he effected my ruin last
June. I believed that Green would
do right' by me, and looked
upon him the same as had
we been united under the form
of law. But I was mistaken. When
the time arrived for the consumma
tion of our nuptials heswanted again
to put the ceremony off. So it was
postponed again and again, until I
insisted that he must rescue my
good name, of which he had de
prived me. He at last declined
positively to do so, when I applied
to the law for redress. He has now
consented -to the marriage, and it
is all I have to ask of him. I deep-
ly feel the mortification I have ; -

At this time the groom was es
corted into court between Sheriff
Browning and Bailiff Harrison. He
is a young man of about 21 or 22,
well built, and has always born a
good character, so far as w- can
learn. lie was asked if willin ; for
the ceremony to proceed.
“I am ready if she is,” was the
reply.
Miss Butler spoke not a word,
but rising from her seat took a stand
at his side. Justice Joe Evans was
empowered to tic the knot, w hich
he did in a few words. But as this
was Joe’s first marriage ceremony
he was far more frightened than
either of the principals and shook
like a man with the South Georgia
ague. The responses were made in
a firm voice, and as soon as the af
fair was over the bride and her
family left in a 'phaiton, while the
groom held an interview with his
father and then walked down town.
There was some trouble in getting
money to pay for the license, w hich
was raised by subscription. The
bride is a rosy-cheeked, healthy
looking young woman, and very
good-looking. We think the best
thing the young couple can now do
is to forget the past and live to
gether in peace. They can live
happily yet if they will try to do
right.

ters into the composition of 8. S. 8. There is
only one Swift’s Specific, and there ia notaing in
the world like it. To prevent disaster and disap
pointment, be sure to get the genuine.
Swift’s Specific is a complete antitode to^ilood
Taint, Blood Poison, Malarial Poison and Skin
Humor. J. Dickson Smith, M. D., Atlanta, Ga.
I hare had remarkable success with Swift’s
Specific in the treatment of Blood and Skin Dis
eases, an«l in Female Diseases. 1 took it myself
for Carbuncles with happy effect.
D. O. C. Heeky, M. D., Atlanta, Ga.
I used Swift’s Specific on my little daughter,
who was afllicted with some Blood Poison which
qad resisted all sorts of treatment. The Specific
relieved her permanently, and I shall use it in
my practice. W. E Beonte, M. D.,
Cypress Ridge, Ark.
In 18801 came from the north to take charge of
the gas works in Rome, as superintenhent, and
after the overflow, which occurred in the spring
following, I was very much exposed to malarial
poison, and in 1882 I found my blood so contami
nated with the poison that ! was forced to give up
business. 1 was treated by the physicians with
out relief.
My trouble finally determined in an abscess of
tho liver, and ncaily every one, myself included,
thought I whs doomed to die in a few days. In
this condition I was advised by a friend to take
Swift’s -Specific, and I took it lust as a dn wning
man would catch at a straw, but as soon as my
svMem got under the influence of the reme<%,
tlie abscess came to a point and burst, passing
off without paie. In fifteen days after this I was
up at work, and have since enjoyed excellent
health.
Every sufferer trom malarial poison should
take Swift’s Specific. t£G. Spencer,

At Ceawford. on Sunday, the
Rev. John G. Gibson preached at
the Baptist church to a very large
audience on a subject that attracted
marked attention from all his hear
ers. It was on the question of
church finances. He read many
passages of Scripture to show that
there should be system, universality
and place for contributions to all
church purposes. His theory was
that church members should be re
quired by their churches to give in
proportion to the amount of prop
erty they owned and support the
cause of the church on the same line
as the people support the govern
ment. He said he knew it was an
unpopular doctrine to preach, but he
insisted that, it was the proper mode
as taught b v . both the Old and New
Testaments
ilfcitoru aneral Georgs F. Pierce.
Hon. Gtarge F. Pierce died at
his home in Sparta, about noon on
Monr'ay- He had been sick only a
few iiays. though his health had
been feeble more than a year. He
had packed his valise to go dn his
rounds tin ough the circuit on Mon
day last, but was taken ill with in
flammation if the liver or bowels,
and so severe was the disorder that
it Was soon apparent to the physi-’
cian ai d family that hit end was
near. He passed away quietly Mon
day, dying almost without a
struggle. His death it a sad be
reavement to his family, as his chil-
r dren are all small ana young. An
" J affectionate wife and four sweet
great- children mourn the loss of a most
affectionate, kind and provided
husband and father. Their loss is
is irreparable.
