Atlanta, January 14.—A local paper this morn ing contained the following advertisement: Wanted immediately—three smart, active young i to represent a well known Eastern wholesale house. Salary $73 per mouth and all expenses paid. Must have first class references, and be able to de posit $10 aa security for samples. Call at once. G. II. Barton, Kimball House. Mr. O. H. Barton now occupies cell No. 7. at the station house. He was arrested about half past three o'clock this afternoon on a warrant charging him with cheating and swindling. The warrant was sworn out by Mr. E. B. Wilson. Mr. O. H. Barton ia a young man about 27 yean old. He is quite a good looking fellow, tall, fcir- aklnned, blue-eyed, and baa a handsome brown mustache. He got la last night, registered at the Kimball House, and was assigned to room 417. Before re tiring he left the above advertisement for Insertion. Aa a matter of course he received a number of applications daring the day, Officer Font* and De tective Matt O'Brien had their suspicions aroused, both by the actions of the yonng man from Chicago —for from that point he hailed—and decided to work np a case. They sent several gentlemen to room 417, and after they had interviewed Mr. Barton, the officers ques tioned themcloeely and reached the conclusion that he was a fraud. The theory was that he in- tendsd to get as many ten dollars deposits as pos sible, and then skip the town. I Among the smart, active young men who applied was Mr. K. B. Wilson, who was employed to repre sent "the. well known Enstln Home" entered Into a formal contract and made his deposit of $10. Mr. Berton stated that he represented a Chicago branch of the New York Horae which is engaged la selling Bntterick's patterns, and that samples of the patterns named would be forwarded to him from one W. H. Porter, of Chicago. In a few days, and that he would let them put Mr. Wilson on the road to sell the patterna. That waa the little game. Mr. Barton also made contracts with four other smart, active young men, but aa they did not happen to have $10 in their clothing at that partic ular moment, be said they could just make the de posit between now and the time at which the pat terns were expected. After further investigation Messrs. Foute and --O'Brien became convinced that Barton waa a fraud, and the result waa that Mr. B. B. Wilsou swore out the warrant againat him for cheating and swindling. 11 was placed in the hands of Officer Dick Clarke who topped upon Mr. Barton’s door thie afternoon only to find that he was out. Clarke then went downstairs, when Officers Foute and O'Brien pointed Barton out, when he was at once arrested and locked up. He will spend the a Ight In cell No. 7 and be arraigned to-morrow for SOME SAFE-BLOWING, In Which Clever Crooks Get Away With Two Thousand Dollars. Atlanta, January 13.—About 2 o’clock this morn ing it was discovered that the large iron safe of L. Coheu A Co.. No. 57 Alabama street, had been blown open and robbed of a little over $2,000 in money and a chock for something over $100. Two thousand dollars of the money belonged to Mr. Co hen individually, and waa the accumulation from rente and other personal investments, which had been accumulating several weeks. Mr. Cohen and bis clerks left the store by 10 o’clock and securely fastened the safe and store doors. About 2 o'clock this morning John Fleming porter for L. Cohen k Co., while on his way borne from a dance, passed by the rear door gt the store which opens into Kenny's alley, and found it open. He snspected something was wrong, and notified Mr. Cohen, who went to the store. When he dis covered what had taken place, police officers were summoned, and Captain Moon and Patrolmen Oloer and Joyner responded. The safe is Mosler combination patent. An examination showed that the burglars had drilled a hole through the outer door to the left and two Inches belo n the lock. Home kind of in strument was introduced into the hole and the combination thrown off. After opening the outer doors they filed the lock of the Inner door with gunpowder, attached a fuse, lit It, and then closed the outer doors to smother the sound of the ex plosion. In this way the under door was blown open, and the robbers had easy access to the small drawers containing the money. Mr. Cohen says bis loss consists of $500 in Oeorgia State bonds, $500 in one dollar bills, and $5,000 in $10 and $20 bills, and $300 in gold and silver. One of hla clerks, Mr. 8telnhe.mer, had $180 of his children's money in the safe, which was also stolen. Entrance was had through a back cellar door. This morning an iron brace and bit were found near the safe, and a large blacksmith’s hammer and cold chisel were found in an alley in the rear of the store. The money drawer from which the money and bonds were taken was found in a wagon in Kenney's lane. This morning some employee of the Atlanta Wagon and Timber Company went down to Cohen A Co.'s and identified the tools, and stated that they had been stolen from their workshop. No further clew has yet been found. Mr. 8. T. Grady, whose saloon ia second door from Cohen's atore, saya be felt the shock of the explosion of the safe at 11 o’clock last night Aglancaat his mail leads to the opinion that he belongs to a band of sharpen who have been lag" various cities in the South for some lime past, 1 called on Barton at hla cell and found him *,ulU reticent He expressed the opinion, however, that he would nol be convicted. He said that hla home is In New York, but that for months past be has been traveling in the inter- eetofW. II. Barton, of Chicago, and selling But- larick’s patterns. Us also stated that he believed hla arrest waa instigated by the Atlanta agent of kfutterick's patterns, who represents the New York bouse dealing in those articles. A FATAL KbNCONTRE. W. It.

Heumrkabla Transition—Fording the Hirer 8tyx-8eelng Dead Friend* - An Ingenlus Uoax Exploded. Philadelphia Newa. In January 1879, I was told ♦bat a man living in Mary street above Front had died and bad come to life. In the front second story bed-room of a two-storied house I found a man, 40 years of age, sitting up in bed, his cheeks slightly tiuged with the flash of health and looking altogether like anything but a corpse. His name was J. Harry Schrack, He told mo his story in awed and reverential tones. He gave me all the details of the sickness through which he had passed. His condition went from had to worse, until finally ho telt that his last hour had come. This is how he described his last mo ments to me: "About 9 o’clock on Saturday night my eyesight began failing me. 1 lost my hearing and my speech became thick, my tongue being greatly swollen. I had fully made up my mind I had to die. At about 4 o’clock Sunday morning the tips of my fingers became like lead. My sight was now entirely gone. My stomach was swol len and greatly inflamtAl. Each succeeding crump was more severe and reached higher np in tho stomach. All the passages of my throat seemed closed. Shortly before 7 o’clock I asked to be moved to the foot of the bed. My head had scarcely touched the pillow when I exclaimed: 'Throw mo over,’ and then—I found myself in another land. The vision I now looked upon wa* the most beautiful man had ever seen. It would bo impossible for me to give a description that would do it justice. My first feeling was that of falling down a great height, and then I found myself in a valley. I walked nlong till I came to a terrible, dark, black river, at sight of which I shuddered and feared. Before me and beyond the river was a dark cloud. Others were walking over the river and, although I dreaded it, something urged me on, and I felt that I had to go with the others. As I got nearer to the (lark cloud it became bright and beautiful, and expanding, it opened aad disclosed the most beautiful sight. The first I saw waa Jesus. I saw a great temple and a great throne. I saw my little hoy who was drowned two years ago, and my other dead child. 1 saw my dead wife, hut I could not touch them. I saw people whom I had almost forgotten. I saw mv old gray-haired grand father, who died when I was hut two } rears old. There were many whom 1 ooked for, but I did not see them. Then the vision began receding, and I can never describe the terrible disappointment I felt when I found myself again in bed. I felt indeed grieved. It was 11 o’clock when I regained consciousness, and at once I felt as though my life had been renewed. I was a new man. I had not then nor have I now an ache or a pain. My eye- night, my hearing and my speech had f ally returned, and I feel now os well os I ever did in mv life. But why didn't they let me die?’ T concluded poor Mr. Sehrack, with a wail, as he buried his face in the pillow. Nothing more than a trance and a dream, you say. Not so, for my investigations did not end here. I found upon inquiry that Schrack apparently died at twenty minutes of 4 o'clock on Sunday morning. His limbs became cold and rigid and around his mouth appeared tho blue token of death. A hand mirror was placed over his month and its surface was not dimmed. Crape was hanged by the door of the dwelling. Mr. Schrack’s death was announced in Old Swedes’ (Gloria Dei) Church, and his Sunday school scholars drew up resolutions of condolence. The dead man, it was understood, had onco been wealthy, hnt through indorsing notes for friends, he said, had become sgdlf re duced in circumstances. During his long tliA a) n\.l ttu-Ailui' nlilir.tii other in caring for him. He was destitute, he said, and could not live long. Members of the congregation paid his house rent and sent him all manner of delicacies. But as he did not appear to be in a hurry to die this ardor did somewhat subside, whereupon Schrack dragged him self again to church only to have another hemorrhage. Sympathy was revived, and again Schrack livea in clover. When this was repeated the third time, however, a watch was put upon the man, and it was found that prior to Schrack haying a hem orrhage he cut his gums freely with a ka f •, and when his mouth was filled with blood be would fall to the ground and spit ont the sanguinary fluid. He was openly denounced as a fraud and driven from the church. But this did not prevent his doping other con gregations until he made his crowning effort With the charit ihle people of Old Swedes. Of course they were amazed when I put these facts before them.

He found that the man actually possessed the power of weakening the action of the heart and canning apnama of that organ. He could aetnullv prevent the fall volume of air go ing into the lungs and thus impair the action of the heart.

What liia fnll scheme was I never discovered. Of course he was being supported by sympa thizing church nierubera, but from some re* marks of his I incline to the belief that he thought of exhibiting himself as tbe man who had died and had come to life. I got a partial confeaaion from him of hia many misdoings, but that his death had been de ceptive he refused to admit. I gave him my opinion of him and left him. IVhat be came of him I never knew.

Four hour* after death the body of Schrack was completely stripped, and a neighbor, Charles Shankland, was lifting it from the bed preparatory to its being placed in an ice box, when ho was horrified by henring a feeble groan. The doc tor was hurriedly sent for, tho body wrapped in blankets, between which bottles of hot water were placed, and soon the dead man was sitting up. in bed without an ache or ailment.

Dcnyeh, Junuary 18.—The sitnation with the blockaded railroads look* somewhat se riona. One train fiom the east over the Santa Fe road succeeded in reaching Pncblo on Saturday at midnight, tho Arst since Thursday, and three other* arrived here yesterday. Kansas FnciAo and Texas^ trains, which have been blockaded nearly two weeks, will roach here to-day, but these expectations may not be veriAed, au mote snow ia falling here, Burlington trains and those of the Union Pacific via Julesburg arrived. The San Juan division of the Denver and Rio Grande road ran no trains Sunday. Reports from that part of the State are to the effect that it has snowed hurd all day; a foil of fully twelve inches being noted. At Durango there are some fears of a serious blockade on that line, hnt that company will make no efforts to clear tho rood until the snow storm ceaaes. Sil- vorton reports that a Know storm began there Friday night, but it did not assume, severe proportions until list night, when it was reported raging with great forv with light light winds and drifting badly, making streets impossible to travel.

A few days alter I had listened to the tale of tho man who had risen from the dead I received an nnnonymoua note simply stat ing that Sehrack was a scoundrel, but giv ing no details. This did not shake my be lief in the man, hut I determined to insti tute a rigid investigation into his past life. This occupied a week's time, hut ut it* con clusion I was satisfied, even before seeing him again, that I hail been completcly boodwinked. His life, briefly told, I fouud to be aa follows: He came of very humble parentage, hia father being supported by benevolent aocieties and bis mother being u washerwoman. When he was seventeen yaar* of age he was very officious at a fnn oral, bnt when the hearac had left the house a large quantity of jewelry ami silverware had disappeared. It was traced to the yonlhfnl mourner, and for this be waa,sent to the Hoiiso of Refuge. When he wa* rel -used from that institution he be came a professional mourner, attending fu neral* everywhere and picking np stray ar ticle* about the house. Shortly after ho became of *ge by a most audacious scheme of blackmail he obtained a large inn cf money, said to be $30,000, from a Third street broker. This he slmaudered in lav ish entertainment* and then started on what criminals term the "religion* lay." HU Ant venture was with the Spring Garden Baptist church, of which he became a member, and was soon considered an ex emplary attendant and won the entire eon Adence of Pastor McCain.
