Dr l G.Hardeman, ofHarmony
in the February number of
\i'i-,nta Medical Journal, has an
ting article on Tobacco Poi-
which he describes the
tiif
inters
oninc*
se gf ; , female patient who came
** i, er death from this cause. In
''f’ jriping the autopsy Dr. H. says:
••The stomach was opened and it
• attained nothing but particles of
C ,bacco; the mucus membrane of
lu e stomach was covered with ex-
i,aniosed spots but no other abnor-
n appearance. The last tobacco
took before her death she did
p\t spit at all. I lound on exami-
apen „( the snuff-box,she had used
about one-fourth of an ordinary
t , lint e snuff-box.
1 '.-It i- astonishing, when we.no-
( ; ct . how much tobacco is taken at
' f time by an ordinary chewer,
mat evilJ cbc.v does not produce
j;h; it would undoubtedly do it
| the nicotine in the chew was
•jLcn into the stomach at one time.
\,i ordinary chewer takes from 20
\ oM grains at a chew, and 15 grains
j produced death, according to
s ‘ on)e authority, in 15 minutes.
W hile tobacco is a great luxury to
.ome 1 believe there are sudden
dertths from this cause which, at
limes, we cannot account fot; and I
letievc, if it was not for the great
t i,initiating action of the kidneys,
,h a : death would result much often-
er than it does. I believe tobacco
, mripient cause of neuralgia and

An oil Slavs Trxdar Tells About Charing Bon-
• aways.
There is one thing that played
out completely after Abraham Lin
coln’s emancipation proclamation,
and that is the runaway negro. Ev
ery- child before the war was fright
ened to sleep by the mere telling
that a “runaway nigger” would
catch them. Nearly every man
that owned twenty-five slaves had
some experience with runaways. A
pack of negro dogs was the only
thing that kept them down; they
had a great terror of the blood
hound, and many schemes were
worked to outwit them. In conver
sation with a gentleman who once
owned a pack of hounds, he says
that he has caught several negroes
who put something on their feet
that would make the dogs very
sick, and would nearly die for five
minutes; but when they recovered
would run the track a great deal
stronger until the medicine made
them sick again. This gentleman
owned four very fine bloodhounds,
that would trail nothing but a negro
and a sheep. Iff the track could
not be found soon after they were
unchained, and a sheep came in
their way, it was only the work ot a
minute for them to kill it. He gave
some fine descriptions of his mid
night rides. He caught one negro
just before the war that had been a
runaway nearly all of his life, and
when captured in South Carolina,
the slave belonged to a man in Mis
sissippi. The dogs started the ne
gro in a little thorn thicket, where
he had carried a bag of potatoes to
cook, and ran him only a short dis
tance before the negro climbed a
tree. When the owner of the dogs
came up, the negro was sitting up
in the tree snapping a new Colt’s
repeater at the hounds. These
same dogs have been known to run
a negro's track after he had been
gone twenty-four hours, and have
trailed the runaway through a crowd
of blacks nt work and followed on
after the right one without paying
any attention to the others. There
is hardly any of those dogs now in
the country, except at the convict
camps, but any old darkey can tell
you of the “nigger dogs” before the
war. Nearly every slave-tradeT
owned hounds, and they sometimes
paid from three hundred to five
hundred dollars for a pack of four.
They had to be locked, and would
only receive their meals from one
man. This had been taught them
while young, to keep the negroes
from giving their hounds poison.
But the dog days are now over.

STRUGGLE IN HER COFFIN.
Washington, Feb. 19.—A New
York congressman, who I believe
is as well posted as anybody except
Mr. Cleveland as to the coming
cabinet, told me to-night that every
name had been absolutely deter
mined upon. He based this state
ment on information received from
Albany to-day. It came from a gen*
tieman who is very near to tbe pres
ident-elect. These are the coming
men:
Secretary of state, Thomas F.
Bayard, of Delaware.
Secretary of the treasury, Daniel
Manning, of New YoTk.
Secretary ot war, Colonel Vilas,
of Wisconsin.
Secretary of the navy, Mr. Jones,
of New Hampshire.
Secretary ot the interior, J. E.
McDonald, of Indiana.
Postmaster-general, L. Q. C. La
mar, of Mississippi.
Attorney-general, G. H. Garland,
of Arkansas.
I believe that the list will be
found perfectly correct. At any
rate I could not have better author
ity than the congressman who gave
it to me.
SPEER SWORN IN.
Emory Speer was sworn in as
district judge by Justice Woods to
day. He will leave for Atlanta to
morrow, and will probably hold the
March court here, as his duties in
the southern district do not begin
until a month later.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP.
President Arthur, several days
ago, signified his intention to make
no more appointments. The dis
trict attorneyship, formerly held by
Speer, will, therefore, be left for
Cleveland to fill. It pays $6,000 a
year, and is the most profitable fed
eral office in Georgia. There are
already over twenty applicants,
with the prospect of as many more.
Justice Woods, who has supervision
of that circuit, will appoint Mr.
Haight, Speer’s assistant, district
attorney ad interim. It is thought
the office will be filled early in
Cleveland’s administration.
I hear that Voorheesdid not vote
at all on Speer’s confirmation. Hale
was the only republican voting
against him, though Plumb, Bowen,
John P. Jones and Van Wyck re
fused to vote at all.
TorfMaPatt of * Young Girl of Wert TirtUlA.
[CnmberUad rpeclml to Baltimore American.]
The following facts were learned
to-day regarding the premature
burial of a young girl near the little
Capon river, in Hampshire county,
W. Va., which is about two miles
and a half from the village of Oko-
nono. Mary Cox, a young and
beautiful girl, aged about eighteen,
with black hair and eyes, who vis
ited Cumberland only a few weeks
ago, made her home with a well-
known farmer by the name of Wm.
Hass, who has a daughter about
the same age. Miss Cox was tak
en violently ill a few days ago. and
was attended by Dr. M. V. Kirk, of
Paw Paw, who decided that she
was suffering from neuralgia of the
stomach. He prescribed morphia,
and a dose was administered at
once, with the understanding that
another should be taken in twenty-
four hours. For some reason the
second dose was given in a very-
short time. An hour or two after
ward the death of Miss Cox was
announced, and two days later the
body was buried. At the funeral
one lady insisted that Miss Cox was
not dead and begged that a doctor
be sent for. That night the dogs
of a man living near the graveyard
stationed themselves near the tomb
and kept up a persistent howling.
The next night (Thursday last) the
body of the girl was exhumed and
the coffin was opened at the request
of Miss Cox’s relatives, and, in the
presence of a Hampshire county
constable and several of her friends,
her body was taken from the casket.
As was feared, the interment was
premature, and was made while she
was under the effects of an over
dose of morphia. The unfortunate
girl had evidently made superhuman
struggles to lift the lid of the casket
after it had been lowered into the
grave. In her frenzy at her failure
she must have lost her mind entirely,
as hei face was disfigured in every
possible manner. Her long, black
hair had been plucked from her
head. The lining was torn from the
sides of the casket, and the pillow
was in shreds. Her hands and
arms were torn and bleeding. Her
clothing consisted in part of a light
summer dress, which was literally
tom from her body. Her lips were
bitten through.

He never spits, and adopted this

a stricture or pain produced by ex

Out city is now puzzling its brain
over a complicated little legal ques
tion that occurred this week, and it
creates nearly as much discussion as
the prohibition issue. It seems that
Mr. W. gave his friend, Mr. H.,
about $40 to keep for him until
called for. W. had for some time
owed Mr. S., a merchant, $15, and
the latter learning that H. had some
money belonging to W. in his pos
session, issued a writ ot garnish
ment against him. Mr. H., not
wishing to be held responsible,
walked into the office of Justice E.
and handed him the money, which
the Justice placed upon his table.
Mr. W. witnessed the transaction,
and quietly pocketing the money
walked out of the office. The ques
tion that now arises is, who is re
sponsible for that money—the J. P.
or Mr. H., or is Mr. W. liable to
prosecution for taking unauthonzed
possession of the bills? The law
yers say that Mr. H. must shoulder
the loss, as it was incumbent upon
him to go through certain formali
ties before allowing the money to
leave hia hands, which he neglect-
ed to do; that Justice E. only ac
cepted it as a trust, and Mr. W.had

Judge Speer’s Confirmation.
Mr. Emory Speer has been con

ment holds for fife, too. It is
against the rule of the Banner-
Watchman to continue its fight
after a matter has been settled, so
we humbly bow to the edict of Joe
Brown and the expiring republican
party. Judge Speer is firmly plant
ed in his seat, and it is childish now
to keep up a fire on him, until his
official acts warrant condemnation.
As to Senator Brown, we have his
name upon our black fist, and will
certainly attend to the gentleman’s

complish anything. Judge Speer
was confirmed as a republican, and
the last fink that bound him to the

-L
Us Band. T”-—
Texas, W. Va., Feb. 15—One of
the best known men in Tucker
county is Lewis Kittle, who resides
on the Indian Fork of Clover Run.
His reputation among his neighbors
and acquaintances is above re
proach, and the following story, for
which he vouches, may be relied
upon as containing facts as he un
stands them. Mr. Kittle is not a
superstitious man, nor is he a be
liever in spiritualism. In 1S67 Mr.
Kittle, in company with others, was
engaged in mining near the ground
on which was fought the battle ot
Rich Mountain. He and a cousin
named Daniel Courtright boarded at
a large house adjacent to the battle
field, and which was used as a hos
pital for the wounded of both arm
ies. During the progress of the
fight one man was shot in one of
the rooms, the very room occupied
by Kittle and his cousin in 1867.
Beginning with their first night in
this room, Kittle and his cousin
heard strange noises. At first they
gave no heed, supposing they were
caused by wind. One day they
were told by a fellow miner that
the house was haunted, and that
ghostly forms frequented the room
in which they slept. Undismayed,
Kittle and his cousin continued to
remain there.
On a Saturday night soon after
this Courtright was absent, and
Kittie occupied the room alone.
During the night he was awakened
by a strange chilliness. A cold,
grayish mist made the furniture in
the room dimly visible. There was
an oppressive silence, save for a
low uncertain sound that seemed
the echo of a slight breeze. Obey
ing some impulse Kittle rose from
his bed and moved to a snot oppo
site and near the door. He (elt no
fear, but was impressed with a sense
ot solemnity. Almost immediately
he saw in the air eight forms clad in
the Confederate uniform. With
uncovered heads they approached
the bed on which Kittle had been
sleeping. One of the number re
moved the bed covering, throwing
it over the foot of the bed to the
floor. Four of the men stooped
above the bed as if lifting a weight.
The object, wholly invisible to Kit
tle, was laid apparently upon noth
ing between the remaining four
men, who stood in the position oc
cupied by pall bearers. Two of the
men who had lifted the object from
the bed, took their places in front of
the four pall bearers, and two be
hind them, and in this order the par
ty approached the door. As they
passed out, Kittle says he saw ly
ing between the pall bearers the
body of a handsome young man,
with his coat and vest removed.
No sound attended their departure
until they reached the hallway,
when a noise resembling that made
by one walking with a crutch on a
wooden floor, followed by the
sound of a closing door, was heard.
Kittle returned to his bed, but in
about half an hour the ghostly par
ty returned, performing the same
action as before, except that the
body was taken from the floor in
one corner of the room. Mr. Kittle
says he cannot possibly be mistaken
as to what he relates. He was not
dreaming, and was wide awake,
He was in perfect health. The af
fair was spoken of at the time to
other gentlemen in the house, all of
whom agreed that similar experi.
ences had been related by several
people who had occupied the room
On another occasion, and when
Mr. Courtright was present, the
covering was removed from the bed
several times in quick succession.
Both men arose and sat on the side
of the bed, but were forcibly,
though gently, pushed aside and
against the wall. They saw no
forms near them while lieing push
ed from the bed, but a few moments
later saw enacted the same scene
described above. Moving the bed
made no change in the conduct of
the visitors. The m visits were so
ft eqnent that Kittle and his cousin,
on becoming aware of the coming
of the soldiers, would say, “There
are the rebels.”
Torturing a Girl—Pinning Her Ear* and
Tongue to the Walt,
Troy, Feb. 16.—A Times’ spe
cial from Wallingford, Vt., relates
a revolting story of the inhuman
treatment of Ida Terry, thirteen
years old, by her guardians, Joseph
White and wife. When she was
two years of age she was lett in
their charge by her father, who
went West. Since then the latter
has paid $100 a year for her sup
port. White and wife were arrest
ed for maltreatment, but the former
was only fined $5 and the latter $10.
The next night three masked men
caught White in his barn, and after
beating him ordered him to leave
town. Both of the Whites were
church members, but have since
been expelled. The atrocities were
found out by a neighbor, who was
aroused by the girl’s cries, and vis
ited the house. The child present
ed a pitiful appearance. Her feet
were blistered, Mrs. White having
compelled her to stand on a red-hot
stove until it was unbearable. One
mode of punishment was to thrust
pins through her ears and fasten
her to the wall. Another, driving
a needle through her tongue and
tacking it to the window-sill. On
one oceasion Ida was held under
pump and a stream of water pump
ed upon her head until she was so
far exhausted the Whites could not
revive her and were compelled to
get the help of neighbors. When
in court the child’s body was found
covered with black and blue spots
where the inhuman guardians had
pinched her, while her back was a
network of cord-like ridges where
the whip had been applied. The
girl has been taken charge of by
the authorities.
Washington, Feb. 18.—Emory
Speer was confirmed this afternoon
by one majority. The senate sat in
executive session on his case nearly
four hours. Most of the time was
taken up by Senators Brown and
Colquitt
Senator Colquitt made a long
speech, reviewing the evidence he
had snbmitted before the judiciary
committee, and strenuously oppos
ing Speer. He declared that the
people of the district over which
he would preside were almost unan
imous in opposition to his confirma
tion. He said Speer was unfit in
character and attainments for this
office, to force himjupon the people
would be an outrage. Senator Col
quitt denied that he opposed Speer
because of his politics. Though
Speer had figured somewhat in po
litical affairs, it would be pretty
hard to tell what his politics are.
He based his objections solely on
the_ lack of legal and moral qualifi
cations. He concluded with an ap
peal to the republicans to look be
yond the fact that this was the nom
ination of a republican president,
and of one who claimed to be a re
publican, and to judge of him on
his merit as a man. Senator Col
quitt was very emphatic in his re
marks.
Senator Brown made an earnest
speech in support. He referred to
him as a young man of fine ability,
and said his character was indorsed
by many of the best citizens of
Georgia, who knew him well. He
spoke of his own knowledge of
Speer’s capacity as a lawyer, and
adduced the evidence of various
distinguished Georgians on the
same point. Speer's political course
had given some offense, but there
was no reason to justify a rejection
of his nomination. He argued that
Speer was qualified in every way
for the judgeship. He referred to
Speer’s excellent family connec
tions, and to the cordial recognition
and hearty support he is receiving
iu Atlanta, Savannah and elsewhere
in Georgia. If confirmed, he was
certain Speer would make an impar
tial, capable and industrious judge.
Senator Brown said he had heard
no valid reason given against his
confirmation.
Senator Hoar also spoke in favor
of Speer, and Senator Vest, of
Missouri, spoke against him.
When the roll was called for the
vote, the result was in great doubt,
as it was known that several repub
licans had expressed an unwilling
ness to vote for Speer, and his friends
counted on only one democratic
vote. It is said that the vote was
30 to 29, many senators being pair
ed. All the democrats except Sen
ator Brown voted against the con
firmation or were paired against it.
Four republicans opposed Speer.
They were Hale, of Maine; Jones,
of Nevada; VanWvck, of Nebras
ka; and Plumb, o{ Kansas. The
case has caused the most spirited
contest known in the executive ses
sions in a long time. Each Georgia
senator has worked with might and
main for the side which he espous
ed.

Frightful Collision on the Virginia Midland.
Washington, Feb. 19.—The
news of a serious collision on the
Virginia Midland railroad has just
reached here. It is reported that
the north bound mail train, due here
at 10:25 P- m -i ran ' nto a freight
train about four miles above Alex
andria, and that several persons
were killed. The cars of the pas
senger train caught fire after the
collision, and the fire is still burning.
Both engineers and firemen and
the conductor of the passenger train
were killed, and the mail agent and
several passengers were slightly in
jured. The engineer of the passen
ger train had both legs and one arm
cut off, and died before he was ta
ken from the wreck. The conduc
tor of the passenger train was crush
ed between two of the cars and the
engineer of the freight and the fire
man of the passenger train were
evidently killed when the engines
came together. Portions of their
bodies were dragged out of the
burned wreck of the engines some
hours after the collision. The fire
man of the freight jumped a mo
ment before the collision and escap
ed uninjured.
THE STATE CAPITOL.
Increased Taxation Necessary For Its Compte
Atlanta, Feb, 18.—In conver
sation with a gentleman who speaks
by authority, theTimes correspond
ent was to-day informed that no
species of figuring will allow the
state’s obligations and expenses to
be met and the Capitol to be built
without raising the rate of taxation
The point has been reached wher<
it becomes necessary for the legisla
ture to do one thing or the other,
raise the rate or stop the work on
the capitol. It is not improbable
that a bill will be offered making
the rate five mills for next year and
four millg ior each succeeding year
until the capitol is completed. The
present rate is three mills and the
legislature refused to increase it. A
bill will be introduced providing
,for the levy of a special tax with
which to build the capitol. The
present complicated state of affairs
ts the result of a method of “whip
ping the devil ’round the stump,”
quite common in legislation since
the adoption of the present consti
tution.
We will say for a pit 10x10 and
feet deep from surface will take
the following bill: Lumber 34
pieces 6x12 10 feet long, finished
up according to taste, convenience
of the owner. If ceiled inside and
a door to suit, with steps leading
to the pit, will require say 325 feet
of lumber, also, if the pit should be
floored with plank, it would require
90 feet. The above is for a nice,
safe and decent establishment: If
only for durability and safety, the
ceiling and flooring could be left
off, requiring only the heavy pieces
and 100 feet for door, steps, etc.
Where convenient, from experi
ence in the past, we would advise
there being placed on the west or
southwest of a dwelling.
Should the pit need drainage, we
would recommend the use of sewer
pipe, if the locality will admit of it,
if not a dry well, adjacent to the
pit could be dug and pipes run from
the pit to the well, and this well
could be untilized for various pur
poses, viz: keeping milk, butter,
tresh meats, etc., in. The dirt com
ing from the pit can be used
for a covering to the top of the pit,
and when formed into a nice mound
and a small ditch cut around the
base can be ornamental in the yard
as a place for flowers or other orna
mental growth. For ventilating a
pit and having ^plenty fresh air and
also a light hole for the purpose of
making observations whilst inside
with the pit closed, we [would ad
vise a four or six-inch sewer-pipe
placed on two sides of the pit, i. e.
north and south, running from be
tween the top pieces of the pit to
the base of the mound, laid at an
gles sufficient to keep the water
from flowing into the pit.
The cost of such a structure as
we have described should not ex-
cee4 sixty dollars, nor, more or less
according to finish. There are sev
eral in this immediate vicinity,
some of them fitted up with a great
many of the conveniences and even
the luxuries of living. All this,
however, is a matter for the consid
eration of the means and tasks of
the owner, our purpose being to
give the public the main point to
be considered in the construction of
a place of safety in time of danger
from the terrible cyclones, which of
late years have caused so much de
struction to life and property in our
land.—Milledgeville Union.

A Clarke County Farmer Tells About Bis
Trials with a Small Fateh.
“Five years ago,” remarked Mr.
Tom Hudson, Clarke’s great grass
grower, to us Sunday, “I discov
ered a patch of Bermuda grass in -
my bottoms about three feet square,
and determined on its eradication.
I summoned three hands, and with
picks and hoes rooted up the last
sprig, and to make certain 1 strain
ed the dirt through a sifter. But to
my dismay upon passing this spot a
few weeks after, I found as beau
tiful a bed of verdant Bermuda as
ever tickled the fancy of a spring
poet. I then recollected of having
read that the only sure way to kill
Bermuda was to shade it out, and
as my temper was a little riled at
the failure ot that first effort, I forth
with put two wagons to work haul
ing damaged hay and piling it on
the plat. I buried it so deep that
I did not think even the last toot of
old Gabriel’s horn would resurrect
it, and until the following spring
slumbered in blissful confidence
that I had at last got the upper i
hand of my arch enemy. About the
middle of May'I chanced to pass
that way again, when, lo and be
hold! I’eeping through that moun
tain of hay were some of the heal
thiest specimens of Bermuda you
ever saw. I pulled one sprig and it
was as long as a plow-line and was
the livest corpse in the annals of
the vegetable kingdom. I sat my
self down on that hay stack and ru
minated, and the more I ruminated
the madder I got. I ordered that
paper stopped which discovered
the shade cure, and wrote iis editor
that he might pile Stoae Mountain
on a single sprig of Bermuda, and
in less than twelve months it would
grow clear through the top of the
solid rock; that he must have meant
for some fellow to hold an um
brella over it, and I wasn’t that
kind of an agricultural hair-pin. I
then discarded all advice and fell
back on practical farm sense. I
reasoned that fire was one enemy
that nothing animate or inanimate
could stand except a salamander
and the three Hebrew children, and
taking out a match soon had that
hay pile reduced to ashes. Then
for three days I kept my wagons
busy hauling logs and brush, and
made a bon-fire over that grass
which would do no discredit to old
Vesuvius itself. When this was
burned down, I dug up and turned
over the soil and piled on more
logs. There is no telling how deep
had the earth at a white heat, and
would not be surprised if I did not
scorch the heel of some Chinaman
on the other side of our mundane
sphere. At last I went home happy
and w ould have bet my plantation
against a jim-crow card that I had
seen the last of Mr. Bermuda. But
you may believe it or not—the fol
lowing August my attention was
arrested by a lovely green oasis in
the bottom, and I forthwith started
on a tour of investigation. I got
there, Eli, and, Mr. Editor, you
could have knocked me down with
a broom-straw. That Bermuda had
not only safely passed through the
fiery ordeal, but fattened, as it were,
on its own funeral pyre. It was as
thick as the hairs on a dog’s back.
I sat right down there and reasoned.
I knew there were no roots left to
grow, and was forced to come to
the conclusion that the ashes had
sprouted. I tell you, .Bermuda
grass will grow profusely right on
top of a red-hot stove, and fire acts
on it like a sack of Col. Dobbs’
f uano under a row of cotton. But
wasn’t discouraged. Mv temper
was now up to i io in the s'hade, and
I then and there vowed to root out
that patch of grass or perish in the
attempt I then sent to Athens for
ten barrels of lime and scattered it
two inches deep all over the ground.
Enough lime, you know, will kill
anything from a gray mule to a
sweetgum stump. Maybe I didn’t
chuckle that night as I thought of
getting at last the upper hand of my
old enemy, and started to write an
article for the Banner-Watchman
telling farmers that a coat of lime
was the only thing that would erad
icate Bermuda grass. But I de
cided to hold on awhile and watch
developments. It was well for my
reputation as a farmer that I did.
Just eight months to a day from the
time I tried my lime I again
wandered by that grass patch. But
why prolong the harrowing story?
as the novelists say. That Ber
muda was then six inches high and
putting in its best licks. The lime
had eternally destroyed the produc
tive properties of an acre of land
for me and killed a big white oak
tree on the bluff one hundred yards
off; but that infamous grass flour
ished like a green bay tree and
seemed to laugh in my face. I went
home that night heart-broken and
for the first time since the surren
der owned up whipped. I am
fully convinced that the only way
to get rid of Bermuda grass is to
sell your farm and move to the
North Pole.”
