+" Never fear,'' said one of the party,

no reply. This was all the conversation
that took place, the Doctor evidently
realizing his fate and accepting it with
philosophic fortitude, though, Of course,
what took place at the hanging is not
known, and will not be for many years
at least. The lynchers pulled the unfor-
tunate man out of bed, and did not al
low him time to dress, but dragged him
away and were seen no more. No
alarm was given at once, but at 8
O'Clock the Courthouse bell was rung

An Iowa Sc Personal"

The great and good E. D. Smith,
President of the State Bank of Lincoln,
Neb., is in the city, and the fast freight
men have taken him under the shadow
of their protecting wings, that no harm
may come to him. Heis better looking
than our fancy painted him, and Worth,
of Paris, makes his clothes, and all his
lingerie is hand sewed and embroider-
ed. The freight men all love him as a
father, and they did think at one time
of running him for President this year,
but concluded to wait until next year,
when there wouldn't be so many opposi-
ton candidates in the field. He is very
wealthy, but is not proud; and when he
came over to this country in the May
flower he sat at the table and talked
with the rest of the Pilgrim Fathers all
the same as though he had never owned

Rescued From q Living Death.

John Sullivan, of Newmarket, N. H.,
aged rs years, visiting at WEIGH Tav--
ern, at Portsmouth Plains, while at the
bottom of an old well attempting to
recover an old dipper, was buried at
noon to-day by the caving in of the
same. The well was about thirty feet
deep, and large gang of men was i'm
mediately set to work digging him out.
Frequent intercourse was held with
Sullivan, his voice being just audible.
The unfortunate man evinced won
derful courage, saying that he had .
faint glimmer of light, and repeatedly
asked the men to hurry with their
work. At half-past 10 this evening
Sullivan's head was reached and safely
uncovered, blankets being used to pro-
tect him from the fast-falling earth,
and just one hour later he was drawn
out Of his perilous position, where he
had been for eleven hours and half.
Seating himself in q large dump tub
he was speedily drawn to terra frns1,
safe and sound. Cheer upon cheer
greeted him from the hundreds OF peo-
pie who were present. With one wild
| whoop Sullivan then rushed to the tav-
ern to the apartments occupied by his
almost frantic mother and wife, who
had arrived on the scene in response te
kilograms concerning his death. Tht
greeting between them beggared de
scription. The well was just So fee
deep, and Sullivan was buried 40 fee
under the earth, just the smallest aper
ture affording him air. One hundre,
and sixty tubs of stone and dirt wer
drawn from the well in three hours

Photographic the Baby.
TFrom the Omaha Republican. !

They came at 10 a. m.-the baby, his
grandmother, his papa, and mamma,
and two aunties. They wanted to have
his picture taken. The obliging artist
got every thing in readiness, brought
out the little velvet-lined high chair, in
which babies are usually photographed,
and then the trouble began. The baby's
papa wanted to take off its sack because
it had such pretty fat arms, but its man.
ma was afraid that it might take cold.
Then one auntie thought it would be so
sweet to take off his little stockings and
sit him in a big armchair, but his auntie
thought that such performance would
be very immodest indeed, and q conflict
seemed imminent.
Finally it was agreed that they should
take the artists advice, and strap him
up in the high chair. After much ring
ing of bells, the baby was induced to
look with favor on the new state of af-
fairs. The artist prepared to take the
negative, but just at the critical moment
the infant doubled himself across the
strap and screamed Justify. His papa
iingled the bells anew, the artist set the
music-box going, while the mamma
drew him out of his chair, and his auntie
called him s'putzy utzy title sing"
Peace being restored, another mega
tive was taken, this time with tolerable
success. But one auntie did not like the
expression of the face, and the mamma
thought that it did not do justice to his
eyes. The next time he stuck both fists
into his mouth and shut one eye; and
the next time his grandma, who had
been watching him intently, ran hastily
forward and began shaking him and
slapping him on the back
It was II O'Clock, and the thermome-
ter stood at SO degrees in the shade, and
that artist ground his teeth and looked
to see how far it was from the window
to the sidewalk. Three or four more
unsatisfactory attempts were made, and
at last the baby, who had been taken
out of the chair so many times and was
not properly secured, slipped down on
the floor with thump. A grand hub.
hub followed; every body screamed
the timid aunty tainted and the paps
swore; while the trembling artist, fear
ing for his life, secreted himself behind
a screen in the corner, where he waiteC
until he was sure that no bones were

after died. The news of her death was
abruptly communicated to her father,

deceased Mr.. johnson, and had its
contents analysed and its condition ex-
amined by chemical experts, who UNI
hesitatingly affirmed that the death OF
Mr.. johnson had been caused by the
taking into the stomach of tartar emetic.
This decision of the experts became
generally known in Morgan County
during the latter part of last week, and
caused the greatest Indignation against
the Doctor, and threats of lynching him
were freely made.
Up to II O'Clock on Wednesday night
the streets of Berkeley Springs were as
quiet as usual, and nothing was observ-
able, even by those who were bitterest
against the imprisoned Doctor, and
would not have interfered in an attempt
to lynch him, that portended the dread
full tragedy so soon to be enacted.

several masked men went quietly along
