tlu* most desperate of
lawless spirits that infest
I the mountains of southeastern Kell
ie i s probably now a prisoner
in the hands of the deputy United
Stl ,tes marshal. Several weeks ago
I Johnson, whose great crimes have
L 0 me before the mountain courts,
«.t at defiance the federal authority
| in a way that will probably teach
him finally the difference
the administra
mountains and the iron grip of the
mend government. On Laurel
I mountain, near Pinevllle, lie met
Special bailiff Peter Hinkle, wlio
I had in charge a federal prisoner.
They were in the woods several
milL from any dwelling. Johnson,
I without a word, drew a heavy pistol
slid covering Hinkle, demanded the
surrender of the prisoner. The lat
ter could do nothing but comply.
To have refused with a revolver
drawn five steps away, would have
been fatal foolhardiness. Johnson
made off with his prisoner, holding
Hinkle in check with his pistol till
they were out of sight in the woods.
Hinkle reported the deed to Mar
shal Gross, and a warrant for John
son, charging him with rescuing a
federal prisoner, was at once issued.
Its service, however, was a matter
of great diliiculty. Johnson, know
ing that an attempt would be made
to arrest him, wit hdrew to his cabin
a natural fastness of the moun
tain, some miles, near the Harlan
county line, from 1’ineville. A
short distance away is the home of
W in. Howard, one of the men who
some weeks ago killed the Baileys
at Mount Pleasant, the county seat
[.of Harlan.
He gathered to his aid twelve or
j fifteen others almost as fearless and
desperate outlaws as himself, among
them Jennings, the other of the
murderers of the Baileys. This
band lie armed with Winchester
rifles. The day they spent in the
fields and woods near, and at night
kept a picket on duty to watch for
the officers, with regular relief as in
the army. Prom his stronghold
Johnson gave out:
“We won’t bo taken by no d d
set of rebels. If the United States
wants us let ’em send a union
man.”
Marshal Gross' determined that
this defiance must he met and John
son arrested at all hazards. He
hired a sufficient number of Win
chester rifles and revolving shot
guns at a gun store here, bought
four two-pound packages of dyna
mite, and collected a band of the
boldest and coolest deputies in the
state. The posse consisted of Col.
Hugh Rogers, John Rogers, Robert
Hughes, W. T. Day and George M.
•'aulkiier, with others who volun
teered to go, to the number of fif
teen, The arms were shipped to
lhirhoursville, and the posse started
from here Saturday last, under com
mand of Col. Hugh Rogers. At
liarboursville, on account of Colonel
Rogers’weakness from his wounds
of last winter, Deputy Robert
Hughes was to lead. He had in
structions from Marshal Gross to
surround Johnson and his gang at
night, 'l’lie first signal of their
presence was to l>8 a heavy explo
sion of dynamite near tlie cabin, to
frighten Johnson and liis men, who
by the waiting had thrown off their
guard and kept no picket. Coming
out in the confusion, the posse was
to cover them and demand their
surrender. If Johnson did not at
once give up, but withdrew and
niiide tight from his fort, the dyna
mite was to be used to blow him up.
Deputy Iluiihes’s reputation as a
hrave, careful leader is a guarantee
that Johnson will bo taken in any
ease.

there lias been no crime in Ken
tucky of greater atrocity than that
which Johnson committed at Pino-
v dh‘ on the morning of the 10th of
May, 1K85. Ills victims wore Josiah
Hoskins, his five-year old daughter
.Rstlier and Thomas Napier. Each
<d these were shot through the head
mid their brains and blood scattered
°ver the rocky streots of the little
mountain village. The murders,
except that of tho littlo girl, were
deliberately planned. The day was
Numbly, and Hoskins and Napier
uul gone to a little church about
°ur miles out of town. They went

the straw. I’ineville has only one
narrow street, and the residence eff
Johnson was at the southern end,
an unpainted lrnme shanty, in
which he had been selling whisky,
being just opposite. Behind this
shanty the desperado awaited his
victims withl double-barreled shot
gun in his tigerisli hands. The rat
tling of whoels»was soon heard on
the rocky street, and when the
homely vehicle came opposite,
Johnson stepped out and leveled
his gun. It needed but an instant to
catch a deadly aim, but ho wanted
the doomed men to know from
whose hands their death came.
“Look out, Napier,” he shouted, and
Ills fingers pressed tho trigger. The
morntalneer raised his eyes in quick
realization of li is danger and as he
did so the gun'was discharged and
he fell out into the road. “Don’t
Andy, don’t,” shouted Hoskins, but
the second barrel’s load passed by
his shoulder into the head of the
startled little child. “Don’t,” he
screamed, hut as he spoke Johnson
snatched up a needle gun at his
side.
“Get out of the way,” lie yelled to
Sudie Britton, who had risen be
tween him and his victim. “Get
out of the way or I’ll shoot you.”
The girl dropped into the straw,
and as she did so saw the. flash and
smoke of the third discharge. The
aim had been unerring and Hos
kins fell out into the road beside
Napier, his skull shattered. As his
body struck the ground Johnson
fired a fourth and fifth shot at the
corpse. The demon was then join
ed by his brother Leander and
Elihu Saylor, and moving to the
corpse all emptied their guns at
the quivering but lifeless forms.
When Hoskin was shot the horses
ran away down the narrow street,
but were caught after going some
200 yards. Bird and the woman
had jumped out, and only the chil
dren were left in the wagon. No
one dreamed that they had been
shot, but the little hoy was crying
and the girl lay with her head
buried in tho straw.
“Biddy’s dead,” walled tho little
followed, and a horrow-stricken
man drew out the child’s form.
Her life-blood stained the man’s
hands when lie touched her. It
had oozed and dripped and tric
kled from the horrible wound in
tiie back of the skull till the straw
was matted and a great pool had
been formed in the wagon bed.
The little hat she wore was spotted
with blood, and nearly torn in two
by the charge of buckshot. John
son was not arrested for some time,
hut tiUinlly gave himself up and
was released by Judge Finley on
$15,000 hail. The cases have not
yet been tried. In addition to
these three murders, Johnson has
killed two other men, and yet he
is only 22 years old.
A Boy Hull Overby Three Traill*.
Ala.nvhu St ir.
Last Sunday morning the body of
a negro boy was found on the rail
road track near Kirkland, horribly
mutilated. It was evident that two
trains had passed over him Satur
day night, as signs of tHe body
being dragged in different directions
plainly showed. Sunday morning’s
train was too close to the corpse
before it was discovered to stop it,
and thus three trains passed over it.
Tho head and arms and legs were
all severed from the body, and the
body itself crushed into a shapeless
mass. The mother of the boy was
sitting on tho embankment at the
train ran over the corpse the last
time.
(Jooil Old TlniftH hi (i(‘oru;ln.
From Pukcsboro Tides.
Good old times! when hospitality
meant something more than formal
invitation and an orderly array of
silver forks, napkins and finger-
bowls; when it was not a ruinous
business for a girl to send her plate
a second time for what she wanted,
if it were a slice of meat, or even n
spoonful of greens; when young
ladies, even those in love, could eat
at dinner-table with as good appe
tites as those with which they now
eat at cupboards and other secret
places; when everybody ate as
much as was wanted—sometimes,
to gratify the earnest wish of the
hostess, even eating a little more,
and then when they wero done, got
up and left the table, remembering
that children, an even servants,
like to have their meat in season.
Dear old times! when, if people
asked people to come to see them,
it was a sure sign that they wanted
them, when people were always at
home, if indeed they were at home
in point of fact; and if they were
not, and yet were within hearing of
a horn, the blowing of it would
bring them there. When calls were
not considered as debts to be paid,
which, when paid, transferred the
entry from the debit to the credit
side of the account, thenceforward
excluding further visitation until
there was another change of entries;
when people visited because they
felt like, it and would not have gone
if they hadn’t; when they carried
their children and their knitting
and spent the day, and when they
felt like going again, didn’t first
look at the debit and credit account
to see how that stood hut remem
bering that they derived as much
pleasure as they imparted in sueli
visitation, had no idea that they
were heaping obligations upon
others.
# Dear old times! I met not long
ago and old Georgian, something
tho worse, like myself, from time
and the war. We had a moderate
mintjulep, and were springing
along and talking to each other of
those old times when even the mint
seemed fresher and more fragrant
than now, especially in this latti-
tude. We talked away of the old-
time visits; how the women sat at
the house and knitted and sewed,
and the men sat at the spring where
the pig was barbecueing, and
whittled with knives, and chatted,
and made bows and arrows and
popguns for the children; and then
when called up to dinner—oh, oh!
When my friend got to talking
about the chicken-pies we use to
have in those days, the fellow cried.
I laughed at him a little at first;
hut he was so feeling when, after
finishing his julep and laying down
the tumbler softly on the ground
under the trees where we were sit
ting, he spoke about tho sort of
crust they had then, and tho oceans
of gravy at the bottom, I cried some
too. I couldn’t help it.
Blessed old times! They had
their errors and their evils. Many
of these have been corrected, and
others will he in reasonable time.
Would that what wore some of their
greatest goods, the simplicity of
ancient.manners and the cordiali
ty of social intercourse, could have
been found to be not uncongenial
with our advanced civilization!
Mrs. Markny’s lioniaiire.
New York World.
Some time ago a romantic and in
teresting story was related to me
concerning the American bonanza
queen, Mrs. Mack ay. Years ago,
comfortably situated in a modest
home at Northport, L. I., lived a
cozy little family ot three—father,
mother, and little daughter. For a
time all went happily along until
the husband and father was taken
ill; then came dark days in the
cottage, a sharp struggle for life
was each day and hour enacted.
There came a lull, kind friends
walked gently about with troubled
laces and solemn hush, and that
indefinable something which al
ways accompanies deatli seems to
say that all was over, all suffering
had passed away, and the mortal
remains of tho father lay calm and
quiet. Mother and daughter where
soon to begin a long hitter struggle
for bread in the great world alone.
Across the country whirled the fly
ing train. On, on it rushed, pant
ing, puffing, snorting, tor days till
the journey was ended and Califor
nia was reached.
Among those who left the train
was ablackrobed woman and a fair
little girl. Alone in a strange land.
Then followed weary days passed
in fruitless searching for work,
Life is not easy, after all to begin
anew in a strange place and with
out friends. Steadily the sinajl
stock of money grows smaller and
smaller until, with all its ghastlines,
starvation stares one in the face
and there is no alternative but to
beg. So this mother and daughter
found the sunny land of the west
not quite so bright as when viewed
from afar, and thus it happened
that the fragile child stood upon a
corner asking alms.
What was they in the childish
beauty and appealing look of
the little waif that so touched the
heart of a passing rich man? He
stopped and questioned the little
one, then followed her to her lonely
home and there from her mother
learned her sad story.
“Pity is akin to love,” so says the
proverb, and in this case it proved
to be a near relation. Now comes
the most romantic part of the story
and the part most like a fairy .tale.
Fortune showered her favors upon
the two stangers. The first friend
they had found proved to be the
wealthy Mackay, and in a surpris
ingly short time the little Eva had
found a generous, kind lather, and
with tho mother it was “off with
the old love, on with the new.”
With the widow’s weeds were laid
away all traces and signs of that
part of her life which proverty and
troubled formed so large a part.
It was hut a step poverty to daz
zling wealth, and in all the follow
ing years she has ever held the
brimming cup of fortune to her lips,
gayly, thoughtlessly, and lias yet
to find the dregs which lie calmly
at the bottom of the crystal liquid.
I wonder if the Princess Colonna
will ever relate the story ot her
early childhood to her own wee
son, or will it ever remain as a
never-ta-be-revealed secret—which.
An Anolent Vessel.
Snvunnnh News.
The dredge Tomochicln lias been
at work for some time dredging at
the wharf of the propeller Towboat
company across the river and op
posite Drayton street, preparatory
to driving piles and repairing the
wharf. The dredge yesterday
struck an ancient wreck, supposed
to he that of an old, warship. There
is every evidence that the vessel
was strongly built.
The timbers are oak. Both the
planking and timbers and the
greater part of the frame have been
brought up by the dredge. The
wood is in a fine state ot preser
vation, being as sound as when
first put into the vessel. The
dredge also brought up numbers
of old bayonets and gun locks,
rusted and almost destroyed by
age. The ring stopper from the
anchor, and the stump of the ves
sel’s foremast can he seen at dead
low water, and also the stump of
the main and mizzen masts.
The wreck is buried deep in the
mud, but how it came there is a
mystery. From the appearance of
tho stuff brought up from the
wreck it is evident that the vessel
belonged to the last century.
It is said that during the revolu
tionary war a 74 gun British ship
chased a Spanish war sloop Into
this harbor, and that the crew scut
tled the sloop to prevent her cap
ture. But at what part of the river
she sunk was never definitely set
tled, At the time she was supposed
to have considerable money on
board, as was usual with Spanish
war vessel’s at that time. About
fifty years ago a company was
formed in Philadelphia and New
York, and parties came out here
for the purpose of finding the
wreck and reccfversng the money
supposed to have been sunk with her
but |whether they ever succeeded
in finding the wreck or money is
not known. The wreck is certain
ly that of an old war vessel. Every
thing about her shows it. The pre
servation of the wood is wonderful.

New York, August fi.—Not long
beiore his disastrous failure at the
time of the Grant & Ward crash,
George I. Seney had indorsed schol
arships at the Wesleyan University
to the amount of $100,000. When
he failed, it was taken for granted
that the institution would lose this
sum. Greatly to the surprise of
the managers, ltowever, the inter
est of the sum has been handed
over to them regularly every year.
Last year came the first omission,
and the managers concluded that
then at any rate Mr. Seney had
given up the endeaver to make
good his gift. A few days ago, how
ever they had another surprise,
when they received from Mr. Seney

A Fortune fur Ten Cents.
A Wheeling special of theSOth ult.
says: When the famous Dr.Schuc-

his nephew, Guenther Schnell, tho
curator of the estate sold at auction
a number of articles of household
furniture of nil kinds. Among
others the auctioneer knocked
down to Mrs. Vance, living on Main
street, in the fifth ward, an old
pincushion at her bid of ten cents.
This pincushion has been used in
the Vance family ever since until
yesterday, when a child wasplaying
with it and the coyer burst off.
When Mrs. Vance went to gather
up the contents something rattled,
and shaking it out there were ex
posed to view a number of shining
gold coins. Finally all were out,
and a count showed that the old
pincushion had been all this time
the unsuspected receptacle of $5(17
in gold coins.

R. Munch proprietor of a drug
establishment in Leipzie, Saxony,
publishes in the Pharmacist, a
medical paper, a remedy for diph
theria which has had surprising
success. lie urgently presses all
uhysicians to try it for the benefit
of all patients suffering from the
disease, and also requests the press
to publish it.
He says: “My little daughters, 7
years of age, lias had diphtheria
twice within some weeks, with
severe fever, about 105 deg.
Fahrenheit. AVe gave with great
success rectified oil of turpentine
(oleum terebinth me rectificatum).
Dose, one teaspoonful in the morn
ing and the same at evening.”
Adults should take one table
spoon. Afterward drink a little
lukewarm milk to allay the burn
ing in the throat.
The result is really, marvelous.
'Hie inflammation of the abnormal
diphtheritic spots in the throat
grows lighter at tho edges, and in
this way they gradually shrink
until in twenty-four hours they
disappear entirely, leaving no sign.
To quiet the inflamed tonsils the
throat was gargled at first every
two hours, and then every three
hours, with the following gargle:
One ounce chlorated potash to forty
ounces of distilled water.
This remedy has been used with
perfect satisfaction both by adults
and children, not one case ending
fatally. The Milwaukee Volksblutt
quoted this remedy from tho Ger
man paper, and afterwards receiv
ed a letter from a subscriber in
Mitchell county, la., saying that
“a child in the writer’s family was
attacked by diphtheria, treated by
local physicians and died; then
four members of tho same family
were similary attacked, treated by
this remedy, and, I am happy to
tell you, all recovered.

A Lynchburg correspondent says:
Quite a lively time took place
at Campbell court house on Mon
day, (court day), in which a prom
inent Methodist minister was the
most imposing figure. Rev. \V. G.
Lumpkin is the Methodist circuit-
rider in this part of the county, and
is a great advocate of “prohibition,”
and a gentleman of chacracter and
firmness. Later in the evening he
was accosted by a young man by
the name of Perrow, and charged
with having insulted him by rep
resenting to some of his lady
friends that his temperance habits
were not good, and demanded an
apology. As none was given, a
fight at once commenced. During
the affray, Junius, a young son of
Mr. Lumpkin, joined in with his
father, whereupon two or three
friends of Mr. Perrow also joined
in the affray with him, when the
tight became pretty general and
severe over the green, several of
the combatants having been hurt
including Mr. Lumpkin and his
son, though none dangerously.

Thomasville Times: A novel
freak of nature, if such it is, was
exhibited on our streets a few days
ago. A largo LeConte pear, gath
ered from one of the topmost limbs
of one of Mr. Homoister’s large
trees boars the letters Y () R clear
ly marked upon tho peel. The let
ters are about two inciies long and
so nearly perfect in formation as to
lie readily recognizable even at a
glance. Mrs. Homeister feels sure
that no one has ut any time been
up the tree, while the height of the
pear and the slenderness of the
limb upon which it grew, would
rffeein to preclude the possibility of
any one having done tho lettering
while tho fruit was growing. Wo
have seen the pear and tell the
story as told us, and leave It to
those better versed in mysteries to
conjecture how tho letters were
produced.
Jefferson Ilorald.
Last Saturday evening Pleasant
J. Roberts, Esq., was called upon
to marry a couple at the residence
ofCal smith, in Randolph’s district.
Arriving at the house he found it
crowded with youngsters, amongst
whom were school children. With
some difficulty Mr. Roberts found
the happy couple, and soon pro
nounced them “man and wife.”
The groom was William Thornton,
age 14 years, who had run away
from his father to get married.
Tho bride was Mattie Smith, tho
adopted daughter of Cal Smith,
aged 15 years.
Young as this couple may seem
tho match was madoas readily as
if Thornton had boon a widower
courting his third wife. On the
first visit lie asked the girl to bo his
wife, on the second obtained tho
mother's consent, on the third the
bride’s father gave his consent.
Just at tills point hoioo one In
formed Thornton that license must
lie had before the ceremony could
l»o performed, when it became his
painful duty to confess to all con-
corned that he was unable to pay
for tho license. But tho children at
Mr. Emory Pharr’s school, anxious
to know that the law would at their
own conveience make eacli of them
tho happy head of a household,
made up the requisite $1 SO by sub
scription, sent for the license and
the child couple.
What appeared so fraught witii
fun to the youngsters and Joy to tho
young couple may prove to bo tho
spring of sorrows and disappoint
meat.
