‘‘What do.you mean? Who told you
pa had been rtared?!’ asked the boy
as he nut his thumb lu ids month, after
knpekUK the nail ofT with a weight. “I
didn t know as. anybody knew anything
about it but me and the girl."
‘‘O, a brakeman that runs on the Chi
cago train was In here this morning and
he.told me your pa came up on the train
last night, and along abont Kenosha he
went through the train as though he had
been kicked? and got into the postal car
and crawled under a lot of mail sacks,
and rode all the way to Milwaukee,
sweating like a batcher and as pale as a
ghost. What was ■ it all about? You
haven’t been playing a trick on him,
have you?” and the grocerymanpicked
up the hickory huts the boy had left and
threw them in a basket, while the boy
wrapped a’ handkerchief around his
thumb and looked mad,
“No, I didn’t play anything on him,
but I saved bis life. He Is an old smar-
ty and got himself Into a scrape. You;
see pa and me went down to Chicago on
a pass pa got somehow-in politics. We
took in the Battle of Gettysburg, where
a fellow can sco all about war without
getting shot in the back. We came back
on tiie five o’clock train, and of course
pa couldn’t set with me, but had to go
and sit down in the seat with a girl that
was alone. Pa hasn’t got any more sense
tiian a cow about such things. A girl
don’t want an old duffer to sit with her.
What she wants is a young fellow, that
has got bear’s oil on his hair, and smells
sort of drug-store like. But pa thinks
he is just as entertaining as when he was
young, and if he went Into a car where
all the seats hut one was vacant, and that
one had a girl in it, he would go up to
her in his insinuating way, and snow
liis bnhl head and. say, “Miss, is this
scat seat engaged?’ and before she had
had time to say anything he woiild sit
down with her and begin talking about
something she didn't care anymore
about than she would about the process
of embalming Egyptian mammies.
Well, p:i sat down by a .girl who was
knitting, and he began to talk sweet,
lie said fie was a travelling man getting
six thousand dollars a year and a share
of the profits. He found fault with the
railroads, the cars, the hotels, and every-
tliing<and to hear, him talk yoti would
think he was reared in a palace, always
traveled on special cars, and was worth
eleven million dollars. I sat behind
hint and heard what he said, and ft was
all I conld do to keep from asking him
if he thought ma would bo expecting us
home to-night, but X have had experi
ence enough with pa to know that when
lie is engaged In business that enuses
his brain to expand and throb, thattho
safest way is to keep still. He told the
girl she was purty, and asked her all
about herself, and if she was going far,
and lie put liis arm on the baek of tho
seal, and acted as though he was going
to hug her, but he didn’t, cause just as
his arm began to get real near to the girl’s
small of her hack, I imitated the brake-
man and snooted ‘Lake Forrest,’ and pa
thought thebrakeman was right behind
him. and be drawed Ids arm away so
quick lie hit the funny bone of his elbow
on the back of the sent and it hurt him
like everything. The girl latTed, and pa
blushed, and in a little while he had his
arm there again. Tho conductor and
brakeman watched pa, and just os he
got close to the girl, and was whispering
to heJ, tho conductor touched him on
liis shoulder and asked him what the
number of liis pass was. Pa had to take
tiis arm away to get his pass, and then
he put it back again, and was commenc
ing where he left off, to give the girl
some tally, when the brakeman touched
pa on the shoulder, and asked him if it
was liis dog in the baggage car, chewing
the hinges off the trunks. Pa said be
didn’t have no dog, and the brakeman
went away. The girl was real disgusted
with pa, and I could see she wanted to
have a rest. Just before the train got to
Waukegan, the gin said she wanted to
send a dispatch to Kacine, and pa gave
her some paper and she wrote a mes
and asked pa to send it for her.
didn’t want to leave his seat, so he said
to me, ‘Here, little boy, you get off at
Waukegan and send this message for the
beautiful young lady.’ and be gave me
the dispatch and adollar. I went outat
Waukegan and read the message and
didn't send it. It read like this: ’Fath
er, come to the depot with a horse whip.
There Is an old drunkard on the train
who has made himself very obnoxious
to me, and I want you to maul him with
in an inch of his life.’ Well, X couldn’t
contribute to pa’s being mauled, sol
kept It, and after the train left Wauke
gan I called pa into tlie other end of the
car and told him I didn't think it was
beat to send that dispatch, so I had kept
it. He was mad in a minute and told
me 1 had no right to think anything:
When I was told to do a thing, It was
my business to do it, and ask no ques
tions. He said he was ashamed of me,
and told me when the train got to Ke
nosha to go right out and send It quick.
He was going to start back to talk with
the girl some more when I handed him
the dispatch and told himto read it, and
Alien if he wanted me to send it I would.
Ho read it, and his face get as white as
chalk, and the few hairs on his head
raised right up so they were stiff enough
to tack down a carpet with, and big
drops of perspiration stood out all over
liis face, and his collar just wilted right
down, and he was not half as tall as be
fore. “Don’t say anything about this,"
he said in a whisper. ‘I know the clerk
in the mail car, and he has often want
ed me to ride with him, and I guess I
will go in there. Thereisnotairenougb
in this car.’ Pa went forward about as
sudden as you often see an old man go
white the train is in motion, and I went
and sat down behind the girl. I said to
tier, ‘The old party who sat with yon
has gone out to ride on .the cow catcher
to get cooled off.’‘ She 6aid she wished
he would fall off and get left. I asked
her if the old man was her pa, and she
said ho was an old fool, and we had
quite a nice visit. I think if old people
would keep out of the way. and not be
so fresh, young people could have more
fun. I sat down in the seat with her,
and got real well acquainted, and when
slio got off at Racine, I helped her off,
and 1 could imagine pa In the postal car
just a sweating. Well, pa didu’tshow
up till we got to Milwaukee, and then
lie came out of the side door of the pos
tal car all mussed up, and naelling mil
dewed like old sacks. He asked me if I
noticed any unusual commotion at Ra
cine, and I told him there was nothing
special, only there was,an old prize fight
er on the depot steps with a blacksnake
whip, and lots of people seeming to ex
pect a row, and I guess the girl sent
another dispatch. Pa shivered and
said, “Let this be a warning to you, my
boy, not to over allow any female stran
gers to get acquainted with you, and be-
como familiar,’ I told pa I didn’t see
any harm In it, cause I rode all the way
with that girl, after be left, and she seem
ed to like it, and never once thought of

JLbfftula Chronicle.
Yesterday afternoon reports reach
ed the city of a most atrocious and
unheard ot tragedy in Bnrke coun
ty, in which several colored chil
dren had been brutally murdered in
a cabin which their parents had just
left. ' Investigation into thesfe ru
mors showed that they were revolt-
ingly true, and special advices to the
Chronicle from McBean, near where
the quadruple murder was commit
ted, developed a story lacking only
in sickening details.
‘ The names of the coloied family
we do not know. About a mile from
McBean, however, yesterday morn
ing, in a little cabin just across the
qreek, in Burke county, a colored
man and his wife, the parents of the
unfortunate children, left for the
field, taking with them their eldest
son. In the course of the morning
the old man’s plow gearing in the
field broke down and he sent the lad
back to the house for materials to
mend the harness. The boy repair
ed to his home which had been left
just after daylight, and around the
doorstep and floor was greeted with
traces of blood. Becoming terrified
at the suggestive sight he stamped
ed to the field and told his father
what he had seen. The old man
mounted his horse and rode home
ward with all possible haste, and,
bursting through the doors, was ap
plied at the horrible spectacle,
'here lay upon their beds and floor,
weltering in their blood, four little
children. Two of them were chop
pea to death and two were almost
in death agony. Pools of blood
clotted about the inanimate forms
and dyed lhe rude flooring with
stains. The parents were almost
beside themselves, and no conceiv
able clue to the tragedy could be
obtained. The house was not rob
bed—there had been nothing there
to steal; no vestige of the mysteri
ous and murderous hand could be
detected.
It is useless to add that the white
and colored people of Bnrke coun
ty are shocked and incensed at the
wholesale slughter of innocent chil
dren. They do not believe that any
such demon exists in their midst
who would commit such an act. Ev
ery possible sympathy has been
extended the afflicted family by all
classes and colors, and every effort
will be made to ferret out matters
and to apprehend the perpetrators.
The oldest child, a girl, we are told,
may survive, with proper attention,
although she was unconscious last
evening.
RIFLING A GRAVE.
Thestrang* story Brought to Light by the Death
of a Promlnant Olttxea ot Ohio.
Between forty and fifty years
ago, says a Bradford, Pa., special to
the New York World, an old log
church stood on the commons be
tween Pittsburg and Allegheny.
Adjoining it was a graveyard.
About daylight one day in 1840 a
farmer on his way to Pittsburg with
a load of meat, passing the grave
yard, heard the souna of splitting
timbers. Curious to know the
cause, he alighted, quickly climbed
the graveyard fence, and stole along
in the direction of the sounds. He
had gone but a short distance when
he discovered a man stooping in an
excavated grave and in the act of
lifting a body out of the coffin. The
grave was that of a prominent young
woman who hid been buried only
the day before. The fanner was so
filled with horror and indignation
that before the man could spring
out he seized a club that lay near
and dealt him a powerful blow on
the head. The man neither utter
ed a sound nor moved after falling.
The farmer became alarmed. Drop
ping into the grave him
self he raised the grave
robber’s body and recognized the
ssxton of the old church, a man
who stood high in the community.
Fearful of the consequences the
farmer hurried home, and telling
his relatives of what had occurred
at once left the state. Only five
persons ever knew his secret, Who
found the body of the sexton dead
in llie grave was not known by
th;m, bui as it was given out that
he died suddenly, and no investiga
tion was ever made and his family
soon afterwards moved away,
it was supposed by the five in the
secret that the body must have been
discovered by some of the sexton’s
family, and that the evidences of
his crime were so plain that it was
determined not to expose it by
making any effort to ascertain how
he came to his death. * ,
The sexton’s slayer went to a
town in Ohio, where he became
prominent and wealthy. He
died last week without bis secret
becoming known to his wife and
children. The secret at the time of
his death was in the custody of two
persons only, all the rest of the five
having died. One of these persons
is a leading preacher in Alleghany;
and the other is your informant, a
resident of the oil regions.

The 5th congressional district are
already getting heated up. Judge

spread his flag and will probably
make the| race. Harry Jackson
will be a hard man to beat even if
Hammond has been elected twice
before.
The counties of Clarke, Oconee

An English nobleman now travel

Perhaps he knows what wages ser

English men.
From the reports in the Constitu-
tution of Sunday it looks as if Un
cle Samuel will carry Georgia with
out much trouble. A great many
say that Tilden is the only man in
the democratic party that can win.
This shows a great weakness when
t is understood that Samuel J. is
hanging on the ragged edge.

learn the fact that the Banner-
