“A strange, but true stoiy.”
These were the words spoken by an
oUl lady of Athens, when she had fin
ished telling one of the most remarka
ble incidents ever recorded. Several
persons were in the room at. the time,
and the conversation tuned on the
subject of people being Kiiried alive.
A member of the compa 7 had told of
bow a young man had di d and was
buried. Sometime after the interment
it was decided to remove the body, and
after the cotlin was taken from the
grave, the lid was removodj-and it was
found that the hody was turned com
pletely over.
“I remember,” said on - of the
eldest ladies present, “of an incident
that occurred when I was quite a girl,
that made an indelible impression upon
my mind. 1 witnessed the marriage,
and it was the strangest thing that has
ever taken place, I reckon.

She was a lovely companion, and as a
consequence, a general favorite. Ev
eryone loved her. A most worthy
young man won her lore, and the day
for their marriage was set for the 23rd
diy of September.
“That was a long hot summer, and
typhoid fever was epi
demic through all this
section of country. Scores of people
suffered from its ravages arid many
died from its terrible effects.
“On the fifteenth or sixteenth day of
August my cousin was attacked by this
terrible scourge, and daily grew weak

loving hands could do, seemed una

cousin often spoke of the marriage
which was to take place, and’ this

Whence did they come?
And who brought them into Athens?
These questions may never be answer-
ed, but. it is true that there are a num
ber of counterfeit silver dollars in cir
culation in Athens.
Yesterday several parties depositing
money at the Exchang s bank were
surp -ised to find some of ^he silver dol
lars rejected. Their surprise did not
last long, for by dropping the dollars
up m the marble and listening'to the
ring of the metal it was very easily dis
covered that they wye counterfeit.
The milling was almost perfect and
to the eye no flaw in the dollars ap-
p *ared. Only upon hearing the ring
of the metal could it he discovered.
It is net known how many of these
dollars are in circulation in Athens,
but it would be well fur the people to
be on the lookout for them.
All those of the p»ople who are so
fortunate as to have or receive a d liar
should test its ring and see that it is the
genuine article.
If there are any counterfeiters at
work in Atheus, a close watch will be
kept for them, and if apprehended they
will be turned over to justice.

Jca Tavern, Gau, March 17.—[Spe

ness and alarm here yesterday" on ac
count of a report that gained w«d 1 cir
culation that two citizens of Jug -Tav
ern were confined to their bed with
small p?x.
Several days since Mes-rj.Charli-s M
Ferguson and John Eites were taken
siok about the same time, and were con
fined to their bed!. They were affect
ed in a similar manner, and the symp
toms of th^jdisease were of such a na
ture as to require a close diagnosis by
physicians. - t
It was said that the symptoms were
those of small pox, and this report
alarmed the citizens of Jug Tavern. It
now developes that the two
gentlemen were sick from
blood poisoning, caused probably from
w- rking in some kind if poisonous
weeds or vines at the rock quarry.
The alarm at the disease that was for
a while prevalent here has died away,
and Messrs. Ferguson and Estes will
soon be able to be out and at their
work.

Atlanta, March 17.—A peculiar case
of kidnapping is being worked up by
the detective department of this city.
Six years ago Charts* Brown, a well
knevrn young business man, married a
St. Louis heiress of considerable fortune.
The pair, after living in that city a few
months, moved to the suburbs of At
lanta, occupying a lovely homo sur
rounded with;comfort and luxuries. Af
ter awhile they went back to St. Louis,
taking their two little children with
them.
The husband began to grow careless
and squandered his wife’s fortune.
Then he disappeared, and. after two
years, the wife heard from him At
lanta again and came on here to join
him, bat his old habits reaserted them
selves and the lady was compallr-d to
take charge of her own financial affairs
to prevent otter ruin. Brown became
angered, and last Sunday disappeared,
taking with him his daughter. Mrs.
Brown laid her case before the detec
tives and they are now trying to ran
down the father and child, the wife
declaring that she will prosecute her
huabaad for kidnaping.
New York, March 16.—The direc
tors of the Richmond Terminal, the
Ea&t Tt nnessee, and Richmond and
Danville roads, have held a meeting
here.
The principal business transacted
wa3 the resignation of Samuel Thomas
as chairman of the beard of director? of
the East Tennessee, W. C. Oakman
being elected his successor. Mr. Oak-
man represents the old Dauville party,
or the First National hank party, as it
is generally called, and his elec ion is
the fir-t step by that party towrrj as
suming complete coutiol of the entire
Richmond Terminal system. There was
no other annoii r c«ment made of any
changes, and the resignation of the In
man party will probablybe,received at
the next meeting.
The plan of re rgauization, has again
been postponed. Thomas remains in
directory of the East Tennessee com
pany.
The n?w p-rty which assumes control
of the R chmond Terminal makes the
interests of the company with ;hat of
the Reading combine seem very close.
Baker and Fahnestock are looked upon
as leading interests in the commission
which carried through the Reading
deal, and John G Moore, who has been
active in Terminal affairs lately, was
also interested in] the movem«nt in
Reading since the dissolution of the
Philadelphia syndicate.
The pi ia at. first proposed to effect an
organization of the cjmpaay, known as
the $500,000,000 plan has been definitely
abandoned by the committe, and the
