1 Railroad Conducts Finds Himself in a
Tight Place.
Albany Advertiser: On Sunday,
February 28th, Messrs. J. W. Eddy
and Wiley Abbott, two conductors on
the Brunswick and Western Railroad,
took a room together at the Barnes
House. Mr. Abbott, it seems, was
Mr. Eddy’s guest, the latter having
invited the former to spend the night
with him. In the morning Mr. Ab
bott missed SBO in money which he
had in his pocketbook when he retired.
Suspicion rested for a time on Will
Scott, a negro porter at the hotel.
Capt R. N. Westbrook was sent for,
and after investigation became satis
fied that the negro was not guilty of
the theft At the same time Capt.
Westbrook dropped a hint to Mr.
Abbott which caused the latter to
watch his friend Eddy. In due
course of time Abbott became satisfied
that .Eddy had his money, and he
finally boldly accused him of the
theft Eddy at first denied having
the money, but Abbott was in earnest,
and threatened sever punishment,
when Eddy wilted, and acknowledg
ing his guilt, returned $65 of the
money. He said he had spent the
remaining sls, but promised to make
it good in a few days.
Yesterday Mr. Crine, having learn
ed the full particulars of the case,
swore out a warrant before Magistrate
Gree charging Eddy with the theft,
and the latter was arrested upon the
arrival of his train yesterday aftei
noon
Eddy does not deny taking the
money, but says that he did it for a
joke. It looks like he carried the joke
a little too far, however, when it ap
pears that he witness .d the arrest of
an innocent negro, who was charged
with the theft, and then went and
spent part of the money.
Eddy went to jail hat night in de
fault of bond to the amount es

A Lithe fluid's Arriic-'iin That Baffles
Medical Skill-
A Youngstown, Ohi’', special says:
Eor two years a little daughter of a
poor blacksmith has suffered a terri
ble affliction which can only end in
in her death. The child Hattie Stant
ley, is about eight years of age. Her
physicians pronounce it a new case,
and are utterly unable to deal with it.
She is slowly but surely being trans
formed into a mummy. In October,
1884, she was attacked with infla
matory rheumatism. This left the
heart weak, and the blood refused to
circulate to her finger tips. A gran
grenous condition of these parts fol
lowed. The ehild complained of an
awful burning in her hands, as if the.
fingers had been held over a braeier,
For five days she has kept up a con
stant screaming and was only quieted
by large doses of opium. The left
loot was next attacked, and now she
complains of the right. The fingers
of both hands are black and dry, and
are crumbled up under the knuckles.
On the back of the hand where the
dead flesh joins the living the skin is
bi ight red and covered with scabs.
One of the joints of the little finger
has dropped off, and the thumb and
forefinger on the hand have dried
together. Until within a few days
she could hold a spoon with the
thumb and finger of the left hand,
but now this power has left her, and
the only use of her hand is to raise
a cup the fleshy part of her
thumb to her lips. By reason of
confinement the child's body is greatly
reduced. Her face, though strong and
bright, is pinched and deformed by
suffering. The neighbors believe
that she is afflicted with leprosy, and
they avoid the house The mother
spoke lovingly of her babe. She has
nursed her over a year and cared for
her tender!?. No wish of Hat.ie that
can be granted is denied. Nothing
but a mothe's’s care could have
prolonged the child’s existence so
long.

A Boston Romance.
A Curious Story That Has s#t Yet its Se
quel.
[Euston Traveler]
In one of the daily papers about a
week ago appeared this advertise
ment.
“Wanted, a lady cultured, refined
and educated and of a genial disposi
tion. Such a person will find good
wages and a pleasant home. Ad
dress , Tremont street, 2 o’clock
Saturday, p. m.”
This was, no doubt, read by a large
number of ladies who were looking
for some occupation, and a Traveler
reporter happened to meet with one
of these who answered the advertise
ment in person. Calling at the time
appointed the door was opened by a
gray-haired person, who asked at
once: “You want to see the minis
ter?” “Well,” replied the lady, “I
don’t know anything about the minis
ter, but I came in answer to the notice
in the paper.” “All right,” was the
answer, given in a demure, sanctified
tone of voice. “I’m not the man; I’m
a doorkeepor in the house of our
Lord. Walk in.” “What have I got
into now ?” was the inward thought,
as the lady entered; but as the door
was opened into the parlor and dis
played a large number of others on
the same errand she gained courage
and took her seat at the end of the
line, interested to see the affair
out
There were old, gray-haired, and
young ladies, teachers, nurse girls,
and chambermaids, all in the uncer
tainty of what was required of the
unknown who might be refined and
educated. Finally seeing an empty
chair beside a good, motherly-look
ing woman, the lady went up to her
and asked: “Do you know what this
is?” “Well, no, I don’t. I’ve no idea,
and I presume it’s nothing I want,
but I thought they might be looking
for a nurse in a family, or perhaps
some one to travel with an invalid.
Now,, I’ve -traveled everywhere with
different, people, and so thought I’d
come over.” ?«Jl around was a dead
for’thu repeated answer
in the halj which could be heard to
every new-comer, “I’m not the man;
I’m a door keeper in the house of our
Lord. Walk in.” At last, as the
clock in the room struck the hour,
the door opened and in walked a tall,
elderly gentleman dressed in black,
and with a couple of books under his
arm. Walking to a table he seated
himself, coughed cleared his throat,
and gave out a hymn to be sung,
then quietly placed his spectacles on
the top of his forehead and looked the
ladies over, first one and then the
other, while they did their best to
keep sober enough to sing according
to the programme. After this a passage
n the Bible was read and the minister
‘rose and offered a prayer, seemingly
addressed to the ladies present. And
now the business of the afternoon
was to commence. The minister
again arose and all was attention.
He stated that he was a descendant
from a Quaker parentage, and the
letters which he would read to them
about himself would show that he
was always known as a man kind,
sympathetic and good-hearted, that
he gave large sums of money to the
poor, that be was a great reader, and
possessed a large library, and, having
a farm in the South, he wanted to
take back with him a wife, and he had
1 taken this way to assemble all these
beautiful ladies together, and he was
glad so many had replied. He would
now dismiss them after they had sung
another of Moody's tunes, but he
wished every one who was not al
ready married to remain nnd he
would tell them more about himself,
the others could pass out. This
ended the first chapter of a romance,
and, keeping to the facts of the
case, the story will have to go un
finished, howewr much we would
desire to know the final end, for the
young lady who gave the information
to the reporter made the mistake of
not staying to the after meeting.
Forsyth’s Romance.
A Pretty Littln'Shiry Having Its Origin in
Sherman's March to the Sea.
[Atlanta Constitution]
Forsyth, Ga., March fl.—Married, at
the residence of the bride’s mother,
Miss. Dome Goodrum, of this county,
and Mr. David T. Rogers, of Logan
Kansas, There is a piecejof romance
connected with this marriage. Mr.
Rogers was in the Union army attach
ed to General Sherman’s command,
and with him in his march through
Georgia, and one night camped near
the residence of Mr. J. I. Goodrum,
the brother of the bride. On leaving
next morning Mr. Rogers left bis
knapsack, and in it was a diary w hich
he kept on the march, which was
found by one of Mr. Goodrum’s chil
dren. Some years after the present
bride was visiting her brother and
came across his diary, and wrote to
Mr. Rogers, having seen his address
in the diary, stating that she was in
possession of the same, and if he
desired would forward it to him. He
immediately wrote back requesting
her to forward it to him, which she
did. A correspondence then sprang
up between Mrs. Mary Rogers, his
wife and Miss Goodrum, which was
kept up for some time. About eigh
teen months ago he wrote to Miss
Goodrum that his wife was dead, and
through the solicitations of his chil
dren wrote her, as they and his wife
had formed quite an attachment for
her. Some few days ago he wrote
again, stating that he had some
“special” business that called him to
North Carolina, and would call to see
her on his way South. He arrived in
Forsyth, and went out to see Miss G
to pay a friendly visit and to thank
her in person for preserving the little
book he prized so highly. He was so
well pleased with her he called the
next day, and liking one another so
well were married, as above stated.
The happy couple will leave lor their
western home the last of this week.
Repentance.
[Detroit Free Brews.]
The sexton of a Methodist church in
a certain village in Alabama is Enoch
Smith, a negro, about 50 years of age.
In his own church Enoch stands
somewhat higher, being a member of
the board of stewards, and, so far as
the future is concerned, with very
fair chance of promotion.
A little thing happened the other
day, which, but for the unfortunate
disclosure of himself by the perpe
trator of the joke, would without
doubt have elevated Enoch in the
opinion of his brethren, but alas !
Late Saturday afternoon, Enoch
was engaged in making the white
people’s church ready for next day's
services. The solitude of the place
was rendered more fearful by a heavy
rain, thunder and lightning outside,
and Enoch is excusable for feeling,
as he expressed it, “mighty juboi.s.”
A negro drayman sought refuge from
the rain in the church porch, and,
when he looked into the church and
saw the sexton with his back turned,
he stealthily entered, and concealed
himself under the benches. The sex
ton swept, the lightning flashed, the

thunder ridfedAand th«»n came a
stillness, which was at leuth broken
by a vqjee, uttering in sepulchral tone
the one word:
“Enoch!”
Enoch turned around but saw no
one; he quivered; his flesh began to
creep.’ Again, louder, more awful:
“Enoch I”
Enoch with both hands held the
broom, but answered not, his heart,
clogged the way. Once more in tones
of thunder came the words.
"Enoch 1 Turn, and come over on
de Jjawd’s side!”
Enoch felt that it was answer or
die, and so by a mighty effort he
swallowed his heart and literally
screamed forth:
“Yes, my Lawd 1”
“How many wives you got ?” said
the voice,
Enoch was now beside himself with
terror, and, falling upon his knees,
chanted at the top of his voice.
“()! Marse Jesus 1 You kno v hits
live widout er axin’ uv’me, but spar
me now, spar me now’n’ I'll gin uni
all up! Yas, good Lawd, sparpo’
Enoch jes dis oncet ” Here the fa
miliar voice of Ben Andrews, the
drayman, inquired:
“What'n old Harry are you hollerin’
about ?”
Enoch gave vent to a resonant
groan of mingled relief and chagrin,
and, as the laughing questioner arose,
resumed his sweeping with the
remark:
“I seed yer when yer fust came in.”
Greensboro Herald: Ad lanter in
this county near Greencsboro, had a
calf. It was a fine young fellow, and
one day not long ago a friend asked
him what he would take for him.
“Six dollars,” was the reply. The very
next day the friend rushed over to
the farmers house in a flurry of ex
citement. “The train killed your
calf just now said he. “I gosh !” ex
claimed the farmer, “The railroad
must pay me sls for that calf. I
wouldn’t have taken $25 for him. It
developed, however, that it was ahoax,
and the farmer still holds his calf at
$5.
