A Modern Miracle in East Tennessee.
Yesterday gentleman from Ma
ryville informed us Of most won
derful occurrence ofthe day before,
which is causing much excitement
in Blourt county.
Mrs. w. Q. Newly, of MaryvilIe,
has for three years been deprived Of
the power OF speech. For two
years she consulted many physi-
clans and spent much money in the
hopes Of reg gaining her speech or ob
tanning some relieffrom errible
aflliction. She despaired Of ever
being any batter, and for til Q last
year has had no medical assistance.
She is q member Of the Society Of
Friends, or what is generally known
as Quaker. Last Thursday Mrs.
Newly resolved to call upon the
Lord, and in faith ask Him to re.
store her speech. She went down
into the cellar and began to pray
iervently. She prayed long and
earnestly. She promised the Lord
that If He would deliver her from
her afFliction, that she would ever
BLESS His name and proclaim His
praises. Immediately she began to
sing ''Praise God from whom all
blessings 1ow." She came up from
the cellar singing and has since
had perfect use Of speech.
These facts are vouched tor BY
scores Of the best people Of Mary
Vile. AT least they know that the
woman has been dumb for years
and can now talk.
Our informant is Mr.. j Nv. Cul-
ton, editor.of the Maryyille Watch

SHERIFF ATHY'S DEATH. 8
Passing Away OF This Excellent 0Mcer
Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday morning about o'clock Sheriff
P. r. Athy died at his residence. As al
ready anseunced in the APPEAL he was eud-
denly stricken down in the presence OF his
family. From the time when be was pros
Irated he was UNCONSCIOUS, and never gave
auy intelligent utterauce. 1t is with pecu-
liar feelings of sorrow that the APPEAL Is
called upon 10 chronicle the death OF this ex-
celIent man. He came to thls country from
Galway, Ireland, when but youth, married
an excellent lady qHite early in life, and for
a number of years has been prominently
identified with the progress and the we'll
being of Memphis. He was conn ected for q
great number OF years with the Police De-
partment Of Memphis, and gave conclusive
evidence of his unfaltering courage in three
epidemics of yellow-fever. No man did
better service than be in the terrible days of
1873 and 1879. In the first of these years be
was stricken with the fever himself, and
10 the latter he lost his beautiful
daughter, the idol of his heart. To man
of his tender sensibilities this was blow
from which be could not recover. His friends
noticed the change in him. For the last
three or four months he was noticeably I'm.
we'll. His death, however, was not expectee
by the general public, because of his vigor'
GUS constitution. Sheriff Athy was mem
Der of the Knights of Honor, the Ancient
Order of Workmen, and the Royal Arcanum
all of which are beneficial orders
He was also member OF thu
Odd-Fellows. The funeral has not yet beer
determined upon, as the relatives of the de
ceased desire to have the brother of the
sheriff present st the funeral. A dispatct
was sent him at Worcester, Mass, yesterday
The various courts adjourned yesterday il
respect to Capt. Athy's memory, and thu
courthouse was draped in mourning.
