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 mens, and tlie Sonora’s paramour inet a horrible death at the hands of an infuria ted husband. 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. HOG AND HOMINY. Rogiste:ed Chesters, Guineas, Berkshire! and Razor hacks. such an errand.

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.

A Yotmg Ccaplo United t>y me SUkon Tto UwBtsrnEysofUwConn. 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 ; - Hi icted upon my family. 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. A Fowl Story.

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. Joseph M.
