the leader, who said: "Step down off
that engine and do as / tell you, or /

the coal pick, which I did, after some
parleying, but as a revolver was pointed
at my head couldn't refuse to obey.
They then marched me and John Stead

told me 70 break the door down, which
did. Messenger Fox had hidden in the
wheels by the roadside but they swore
they would kill me if he didn't come out,
and so called for him and he entered
the car with two of the robbers, who
forced him to open the safe and pour its
contents into sack. They were disap-
pointed at not getting more booty, and
knocked Fox down twice with the butt
end of atnayy revolver, cutting his head
in fearful manner. They then march
ed us to the coaches, where they kept us
covered with revolvers while they rob-
bed the passengers. After the last car
was gone through they marched us back
to the engine, when the leader said:
"Now, get back there; we will remove
the stones. You have been bully boy,
and here is a little present for you." and
he handed me two silver dollars. I told
them l would remove the distractions
and the entire gang skipped up over the
embankment and were out of sight in a
twinkling. In going through the pas
sengers each one was made to hold up
his hands, and what was taken from
them was put into two bushel sack.

A Beneacient Action.

The worn look and miserable feelings
of those closely confined in mills, or at
desks or at work tables, are caused by
weak Stomach, Kidneys or Bowels, and
show the necessity for some mild tonic to
build them up. No one need suffer thus
who will use Parkep's Ginger Tonic;
for without intoxicating has such a
beneficient action on these sluggish Or
gans and SO cleanses the poisonous mat
tiers from the system, that rosy cheeks
and good health and spirits are soon
brought back again.-Erpress. See adv.

A NEW DISCOVERY!
Spiritualism Explained.

The question of questions,
with the learned and unlearned,
the materialist, scientist, re-
ligionists, and in fact every
BODY. is "What is Modern
Spiritualism?" Is it a verify or
is it all a humbug Can it be
explained from a physiological
standpoint and does it come
under the head of Physics, or
does it come from supernatural
causes and without laws or or
der. That the phenomena ex-
lists, is beyond dispute, whether
it will ever be explained re-
mains to be seen. That some
spirits can be, seen, handled
and made use of to good ad-
vantage as well as explained is
also a fact to which all drug
gists and chemists can testify.
They need not be named, be,
cause their name is legion.
We refer principally to those
medicines through which spirits
figure largely as restorative
agencies. Saur's Drug and
Medicine Depot harbors large
number of healing spirits which
can be purchased for a very
small sum of money and if used
according to directions will be
the means of relieving pain and
restoring the health of the af
flicted. This same drug store
has many other things in which
it seeks to make itself useful
and to benefit mankind. The
book department furnishes the
provisions upon which hun
dreds OF brains are fed and are
thus kept alive and active. The
large stock of elegant patterns
of wall and window paper is
another medicine by which
many homes is made warm and
comfortable. Then, too, comes
the many different colored
paints which are not only a
great preservative agency, but
add to the beautiful as well,
tons of which is sold annually
and which gives employment to
thousands Of people. This is a
branch of business IN which this
housealso figures largely. Saur's
Drug and Book store seems to
BE. the depot or store house in
which everything is kept which

BEN HILL
savagely challenged the Senator from New
1ork to name such stream. Senator Lo-
gan came to the rescue, BY reading from the
Engineers report that the Savannah River,
IL Ben Hills own State, for distance OF
Unity m!les above Augusta can be made
haSlEable for pole-boats by creating chan
mel three feet deep and thirty feet wide.
This created a good deal Of laughter, but

tlnued to read from the Engineers re-
port opinions as to the praeticability
rats or pole-boats where a depth IT ten or
twelve inches Of water can be obtained by
the expenditure Of S10o,00 or SO.
MR. EATON
answered the challenge of Senator Hill by
explaining thnt these surveys OF insignificant
streams are first asked for by petitions to
Congress. Then they are passed, and the
engineers make their surveys and report
the same, but, because they report that by
the expenditure of a certain large sum,
certain stream can be made to hoat
a raft. 1t does not follow that the

of any Apportionment bill in this Congress.
The Republican opponents Of the Democrat

the murderer Of Marcellus Letters, of which
former mention has been made By special
telegram, received his sentence in the Dis
trict Court to-day, which gives him eight
years in the State Penitentiary. This ends
the most exciting case before our courts in
some time. In pronouneins the judgmentof
the Court, Judge Stutsman severely censured
the Jury for unwarranted mercy. He said
Greenwood was charged before the Court with
the highest crime known to the law The
prisoner being q hunchback his condition
had excited sympathy, and the jury had al~
lowed mercy rather than good judgment to
control their. verdict. They fixed much
less penalty than the Court thought Green
wood deserved Taking human life for a
slight otfense Is becoming too common; JUS
tice must be tempered with mercy, but never
all mercy. It was cold-blooded, deliberate
murder. At the close of these remarks the
prisoner was taken in charge by the Sheriff.
