A Strange Story,
Vienna Letter to the London Globe


In the Mavergasse lives a very pretty
seamstress, Caroline w. Last week
gentleman met her on the stairs as she
was about to take an evening stroll.
His looks were wild and anxious, and
he shivered, while the sweat stood on
his brow. He complained of cold and
thirst, got Fraulein w. to light a fire,
and sent for some wine, poured himself
out glass, and just as he was raising
it to his lips dropped down dead. who
is he? What is he? What do you know
OF him?' asked the police of the girl,
and all she could answer was, "Noth-
ing-absolutely nothing In his peck
cts were found few ilorins, but no
card, no letter, which could serve as a
means of identification. The post NOR
TEN revealed extensive heart disease "a
the immediate cause Of death. There
was nothing for it but to take the body
to the Morgue although by the dress of
the deceased he was evidently person
of means. Here the body lay three
days, and from here would assuredly
have gone per mo. o. to the cemetery
and have remained forever unrecog-
nzed, had not Mr.. William Hunning,
First Secretary of the American Consul
General, accompanied by friend, come
and asked to see the occupants of the
death-chamber. The two gentlemen
passed down the row of silent sleepers
till they came to where lay the body of
the man whose sudden death has Just
been described. Good Godn shouted
Mr. Hunning, "thereis Eugene T. Bell"
Two witnesses are required to identity
body said the warden, and, as Mr..
Hunning's friend had not been person.
ally acquainted with the deceased Mr.,
Weaver, the American Consul for Wen
ma, was fetched in all haste, and he,
too, at once recognized in the deceased
the remains of his colleague, Mr., Bell,
American Consul General in Pesth A
mere chance thus led to the identitica-
ton of body which would otherwise
have been buried few hours later in a
nameless and silent grave. The fate Of
Mr. Bell would then have remained for
ever one of those mysteries of which
any ones experience can furnish nu-
merous instances.

A Bremen newspaper says that the
North German Lloyds have engaged to
convey three thousand Roumanian
Jews to New York. The emigrants are
sick of their own country, and have
been enabled to seek fresh homes across
the Atlantic by the liberality of their
coreligionists in France and Germany.
The North German Lloyds have under
taken to find orthodox food for the
emigrants during the passage. The
patrons provide funds not only for the
passage, but also for the purchase Of
homes and farms in America.
A rather curious phenomenon has
been observed lately at Sparks & Co.'s
Touring mill at Alton. In passing
through a room in the second story in
comparative darkness, it was noticed
that the rapidly running belts were
aglow with what appeared ike phos-
phorescent light. At first this was as
cribed to the reflection from the lamps
on the copper rivets with which the
belts are constructed. After all the
lights were taken away, however, the
belts presented clearly defined illumin-
ated outlines, and when the hand of a
spectator was held close to them, bright
little glObues attached themselves to
the palm and fingers, being especially
noticeable on the thumb nail No heat
was felt, and il is more than probable
that the light was Of electrical origin, be-
ing Unusually bright on account of some
peculiar state of the atmosphere.
The minister Of the United States at
st, Petersburg, in a dispatch to the
department of state, draws a gloomy
picture of the present economic and
social condition of Russia. The grain
crop of the past season, he says, has
proved failure, and American wheat
is imported now even at st. Petersburg.
1t is also entering ut Odessa and other
Russian ports, But n large market for
this American cereal cannot be predict
ed, as very little bread made from
wheat is used in Russia; the mass of the
people must have cheaper and coars-
er article, such as rye or Indian corn.
The scarcity of grain in the empire is
81 HTtuJ lUdl IL was Nul ltllNlN ItDOIltu
and generally believed that the imperial
government was considering the pro-
priety of prohibiting the expectation of
rye. There will be much suffering
among the poor classes. Minister
Foster quotes from The GoIoS of st,
Petersburg as follows; "From all sides
comes news of this harvest being below
the average, of want and hunger, from
which will spring disease and very
likely death. Beetles, worms and To-
Gusts are eating up the corn; the dimin-
uitiion of cattle surpasses all belief;
diphtheria is taking off the coming
generation; bread-stuils have already
reached five kopeks per pound. Every
one feels that Russia does not subsist
by the produce of its own land, but is
wasting its capital in cutting wood,
selling surplus cattle, pulling straw
from its matched roofs and depriving
itself of its fancy clothes and shoes"

Origin Of the Horseshoe SUPERSTITION


In the very early times, says a writer
in Baldwin's Monthly, among the Gel
tic race an eilgy of the patron saint, so
common in churches and temples, was
much used in the dwellings and work
shops OF the people, as so-called "pro-
lection against ill-fortune. The "glo-
ry'' above the head Of these figures
which later was often rudely carved in
wood and painted--was represented by
q circular piece of polished metal, to
convey the effect of the shining halo or
nimbus, frequently seen in Illustrations
of the Virgin and other scripture sub
jects. Often this metal nimbus was of
semi-circular form, and after the figure
itself had disappeared by reason
of decay, the nimbus remained and
was suspended in some prominent
place at the entrance door, or other
point commanding view. The efligies
in question were not uncommonly
seen by the side of the doorway. In
course Of time the nimbus was much
used as substitute for the latter, and
was sold in shops for this purpose. The
tradition of good luck, as embodied in
the horseshoe theory, may thus be easily
traced, since it became a common oc-
currence for the faithful adherent in the
belief in charms and symbols to adopt
the horseshoe, worn to brightness, in
the absence of any other, which he
nailed over his cottage door Hence
piece of metal of this shape became as
ISOLATED in the common mind with SUI
pernatural presence and care, in keep
ing with the belief attaching to the
original figure of the patron saint.

GUITEAU'S COUNSEL.
George Scoville, Brother-in-law
of the Assassin, the Man.

CHICAGO, September 29-George
Scoville, brother-in-law of Gulteau,
is in this city. In answer to the
question whether he VII act as coun-
sci for the assassin he said he would
rather leave it to the government to
appoint counsel for him, but his
wife, Guiteau's nearest relative, and
almost his only friend on earth, in-
sists that he shall appear as counsel,
and he supposed he would have
to grant the request; he would,
therefore, be on hand in Washing
ton when the assassin was called on,
to plead the question. He was
asked:
"Do you anticipate speedy
trial ?"
''I don't know about that. I
don't think Guiteau can be tried
right away. When he is called upon
to plead, the time for his trial will
be fixed. We will have to secure
time, in order to prepare for
the defense. The witnesses will
have to be summoned
from all parts of the country, and
that will take time"
"What will be your defense 2
was asked.
Il think that has been pretty well
outlined. [ am not in favor of
making any technical objection to the
form Of the Indictment, or to ques-
ton the jurisdiction of the court.
Our defense will be insanity, and I
shouldn't advise anything else. We
have known nothing of Guiteau for
three years past until this summer.
l do not apprehend but that he will
be accorded fair trial. Our great
est effort will be to get men On the
jury who will have judicial minds
men who have read of the case,
know the facts and who will be fair
on the trial. I believe the govern
ment will see that Guiteau is pro-
tected, and that he shall have an i'm
partial trial"

Ten Hundred and Twenty-Seven Entries.
Special Dispatch to the Knoxville Chronicle.
GREENENILLE, TENN, Sept 20.
At o'clock this afternoon the entries of
articles for exhibition at the Greeneville
Fair-ten hundred and twenty seven in
number-had been completed. On account
of the recent drouth some departments
were not quite as good as usual, but there
were, nevertheless, many things of interest,
both to admirers of the beautiful and to
lovers of the useful and practical. The de-
partment of embroidered and fancy work
contained many beautiful articles, while the
floral display was even better than yesterday.
The managers have looked after the best
inte rests of the farmers in the conduct of
the fair, and have also had a view to the en-
cour agement of domestic and manufacturing
industries, hence thay have ruled out nearly
all racing. So far there has been none. To
morrow, however, there viii be walking and
trotting races. There has been very good
order on the grounds. We seen few men,
however, who had evidently been using a
prescription at Betsy Wards drug store.
One interesting incident, not on the pro-
gramme, which occurred to-day, was the
marriage on the grounds of allowing couple,
who had concluded that they could no Ion
ger live in single blessedness.
