The Result of Superstitious CredaIity-A
Man Chops off his NeiShbor's Head with

ANe
From the Detroit Post, 2Oth.l
Another Of those startling and horrible events
which periodically agitate the commuaity,
occurred yesterday in the vicinity of the ouiet
village OF Swan Greek on the Michigan South
ern and Northern Indiana railroad. Ii seems
that boy in the village has been and is cred :
tied with the powers OF second sight or A sne
eies OF prophetic vision, which has given hin,
considerable netOriety- The most ancient fe
males has sought his aid, and the ayaricions
nave conferred with HIM concerning matters
o. momenfary consideration. 1t is said that
ne rs IN Possession Of a o'nRe, through the
manlp nlatiCh VI which he can ace wonderful
things and epen the concerns OF the past, pres
ent, and future with az much facility az the
most mysterious-ninded could Imagine His
powers OF seership have been doubted, but
notWltnstanding this many have fiockei To
his fathers house TO test his visionary mode OF
revelation.
From this blind confidence a most horrible
incident has occurred, resulting in the death of
hard working and probably innocent man.
IL seems that a man named Kelson lest an axe,
and suspected nrighbOr named Watkins of
stealing 1t 1t being sugar time Kelson needed
the services Of the blade, and proceeded with

place cannot be doubted, as Watkins shanty is
besmeaTed with blood. HIS doorway is bespat-

OF desperate fight are apparent from appear

How the circumstances OF the affair first be-
came known are not apparent, neither can a
history OF the deadly fight be read Until the
inquest takes place, but that il was a terrible
one cannot be doubted. Kelson was first dis

The Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal tonnage was very much
reduced last week, by reason of the flooding of
the mines In many places, ana the injury sus.
tanned by the canals and railroads, in conse.
quence OF the rain freshet at the close Of the
previous week. Trade was, for several DAYS
being made. The Schuykill region suffered
most, though almost all the canals leading to
the several coal helds were more or less in iured
The tonnage by the SchuyKill Canal for the
week was reduced to 4,46s tons, and that by
The Reading Railroad TO 2i,5l9 tons-the tom
mage by both being but %, 9S7 tons. showing a
decrease on corresponding week last year of
about 100000 tens. The Lehigh region, in its
tonnage. shows q loss of 1928 tons as COM
pared with the corresponding week last year.
The entire tonnage OF anthrarite reported all
the principal carrying companies for the week
was but 20l,497 tons, against 321 904 tons in the
same time last year The aggregate tonnage
this year is 7,i50 2s3 tons against 10 $40 tons
10 the same time last year-showine loss of
329,G47 tons Toe trade continues very much
depressed, not ONLY as evidenced by the les
sened tonnage, but BY the very limited demand
at reduction OF prices. The sale, of 10000
IONS tons OF Scranton coal at New York last
week show small advance in steamboat and
CRATE coal, and falling on in the price OF egg
And stove coal. The latter being almost en-
urely for domestic purposes are likely to be In
better demand in the coming month, when
housekeepers will commence putting in their
winters supply Of fuel. 1t is see rceIy possible
Tor Coal TO be lower this year. 1t can be af.
1orded at present prices only by those colieries
which are most fayorably located. Wages a,
the m ines remain nearly steady and, as the
price Of living keeps mp, increased production
OF coal, without an advance OF prices i'm.

All the parties were similarly affected, and
each had, we learn, strong symptoms of chol.
era; but we understand that the medical gen.
t,emen In attendance concur IN the opinion
that the guests at the party were poisoned,
possibly by having some poisonous substance
administered in some portion Of the food. This
opinion is strengthened by the report that such
guests as did not participate in the lighter re-
Treatments OF the evening-cakes. ices and con-
fects-have experienced no inconvenience.
We trust the affair may be thoroughly inves.
ugated to the end that il so horrible crime az
poisoning large party Of innocent young
ladies and gentlemen has been committed, the
guilty perpetrators of the atrocity may be
brought to condign punishment.
In addition to the names of those we have
mentioned, we learn that five servants have
died from the same cause, and with the same
general symptoms; and it is a suspicious fact
that each OF those servants accompanied some
OF the guests in capacity Of personal attendants.
So far as we learn none Of the servants EN-.
ployed in the house of Mrs Hebron, the esteem
ed lady hostess, have suffered in any way. As
matter OF course there are many rumors in
regard to this mysterious and melancholy
AIN lotion, but at present we forbear to men
ton them.
