A Mysterious Foot!
MARYvIILE, March

MIR EDITOR: We have had quite a
singular excitement here to-day, and
1t has been running pretty high.
About o'clock Mrs Everett discov-
cred a bitch carrying curi' us some.
thing In her mouth, called her, and
endeavored to ASCERTAIN what II was.
The bitch would not come to her, but
started Of in another direction, Mrs.
Everett then called Mr.. Tip. Everett,
her brother in.law, AMI directed his
sttenti n TO 1t. He called the bitch
and, after some trouble, got her
mouthful, which proved to be q hui
man foot, amputated at the joint In
the lnstep Of the foot. IT was sppar.
entity fresh, and In good state Of
preservation The bitch had been
seen coming from the direction of
Walkers mill-dsm, and when the
foot was taken from her she went back
in the same direction. Mr.. w. w.
Everett followed her, but when she
found that she was followed, che
turned off aud did not go to the water.
Other parties then went to the place
just below where the water pours
over the dam, aud fund tle bitch's
tracks, aud In front Of where the
tracks went into the water found a
considerable substance very much like
skin covering the human tongue. The
excitement was now running high.
Alex b. McTeer took possession of the
foot and took it to his brothers stable,
aud was there detained all the after
noon and until dark came on, by par
ties coming to see 1t. Other pieces OF
flesh and fatty matter were found be.
low the dam. Some parties ran to the
graveyard and examined the graves.
All beneath the sod were quiet as the
dead there, and there was no appear.
ance of any resurrection having taken
place. 1t was mystery. No one
could account for 1t. There was the
foot, that could not be denied. The
other findings In the water may have
been. the ofialings from the tsnnery
just above, but the foot could not be
mistaken. No amputati0n had been
made for some time In the
country, and the doctors de-
clare that there has been no dissec-
tion. Now, how could it be
accounted for? AT last, light breaks
In! Mr.. 4. w. Tedford druggist,
had an amputated foot, taken last
January, from Mr.. Hugh Jenkins, Ia
the lower end of this county. 1t was
preserved in alcohol, aud by come
means the jar had bsen left open, the
alcohol evsporated. aud decom position
began, SO Mr. Tedford directed a
colored man to take 1t out and bury it.
I his was accsped for time, as a solu,
tion OF the mystery, aud the joke was
passed around on the knowing ones
as to their discoveries in the water.
But again the thing is covered in
mystery. 1t was jenkins left foot

How 1t is to be solved remains yet
to be determined. W.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, March 80.

On motion of Senator Ransom
IN. c. the bill appropriating $7O,-
900 for the erection of public build
ings at Asheville, North Carolina,
was taken up and passed.
Senator Cockrell (Mo.), from the
committee on military affairs, re-
ported favorably on the bill direct
ing the restoration of the official
letter-books of the executive depart
of North Carolina.
Senator Hampton Is. C), from
the same committee, reported favor
ably on the bill authorizing the
secretary of war to settle the &C
count for arms between the state
of South Carolina and the United
States. E@ NE
Senator Cockrell moved to tax
from the committee on commerce,
to which it was referred, the bill
introduced by him by request yes4
terday for opening a direct trade
between the states of the Missis-
sippi valley and Brazil, and estab-
fishing a mail service Herewith.
He wished it referred to the post-
office committee.
Senators Mcmillan, Hereford and
Beck objected, believing the mail
service merely incidental to the
commercial purpose of the bill.
Senator Beck (Ky,) said it was a
disguised form of the old applica>
ton for a subsidy to steamship
line to Brazil. To thus give one line
advantage over others was unjust.
The commerce committee had
more to do with the bill than the
postoffice committee.
Senator Cockrell's motion was
defeated.
The bill providing for an inter-
national exhibition in New York, in
1888, was opposed by Senator'S
Carpenter and Eaton as unconstitu-
tional, and advocated by Senators
Wallace and Herman.
The morning hour expired, and
the bill went over.
The Geneva award bill was laid
aside, and the immediate deficiency
bill taken up. After agreeing to
several of the committee amend
ments, the senate adjourned with
out reaching the marshals' clause, on
which considerable debate is ex-
pected. a-.x. .4
