INGERsoLL's FEE.-While ex-senator
Dorsey was here in attendance On the cat
t!c convention he was asked one day how
much he paid Bob Ingersoll for his defense
IN the star route trials. wei" he said,
''it was very curious how that was done.
From the beginning to the end of the trial
Ipgersoli never asked me for Il dollar. One
day, after | bad been acquitted on the
second trial ] met Ingersoll and | asked
him how much | owed him. He at tisrt de-
cined to talk about it, saying he had no
charge to make and he didn't care if he
never got cent. l asked him to walk o
few squares with me, and we went to the
Safe Deposit building. I unlocked my box
and took cut = 4per-cent government bond
for 100000 and gave it to him. He put 1t
in his pocket and we walked away, and
have not referred to the subject since.'-H.

examine the various burdens oil our lives,
We would be surprised 10 lind how many OF
them are of this character. Not only may
we drop them if we will, but justice to 9TH

EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING Upon HUMAN
BEINGS. recent congress ofmedical men
held at Magdeburg, a paper was read on the
effects Of lightning stroke on human beings,
and the author showed that when the light
ming discharged passed through the skin its
passage was much easier-that is to say, the
Internal organs are much more conductive
than the epidermis. This fact, says Engi.
necring, was pretty we'll known, but it is
not so vel! known that the brain and spinal
cord are apparently conductors, and hence
@ lightning stroke on the head does not
materially injure the brain beyond shatter-
ing the nerves and causing temporary de-
rangement Most persons struck by light
ming do not remember anything about the
stroke, but others describe sensation such
az would be caused by their being struck a
heavy blow, and some have likened the
shock to what they would be supposed to
feel if torn into small pieces.

GEORGIA TRAGEDY.-A Bainbridge, Ga,
special gives the following concerning the
tragedy briefly mentioned Thursday:
'sMeagre details have been received here
Of y horrible triple murder committed about
five miles from Pelham, in Mitchell county,
last night. The victims were Stephen Good
win, his housekeeper, Matilda Gregory,
and her son. Richard Gregory, aged TWEEN
ty-one years. Nothing was known OF the
crime until this, morning, when failure Cn
their part Of the Inmates TO open the house
attracted ne attention of the neighbors,
and led to az investigation The bodies of
Goodwin and Mrs. Gregory were found
stretched on their blood stained beds, with
the heads terribly crushed and nearly sew.
cred. All the appearances indicated that
bolh had perishcd while asleep. Young
Gregory was found on the floor weltering
in pool Of his own blood, and life was not
yet fully extinct when he was found.
Whether he engaged in a struggle with his
murderers or dragged himself from the bed
in an effort to reach the door and give an
alarm after their departure is not known
All the appearances indicate that Goodwin
and the women were killed while they were
asleep, and the inference is that the bloody
deed is tho work of robbers, who first
chloroiormed their victims. The nature Of
the wounds indicates that both a knife and
an axe were used in the massacre, the clean
manner in which the throats were cut
evincing contact with very keen blade.
Rumors that Mr. Goodwin constantly kept
large sum Of money in the house are
Supposed to have been the incentive for
the crime His money was kept elsewhere,
however, and consequently was not secured.
After appropriating a fine double. barrelled
gun, the robbers broke into the stable, and
hitching Il horse to buggy, drove away as
soon as possible. After the discovery of
the crime posses of citizens on horseback
commenced securing the country in search
CT the murdcrers. The capture wi be fol-
lowed by lynching. GoodWiu's brothers
offer d reward of $500 for the arrest OF the
assassins The scene in the dealh-chambers
was hiGeous in the extreme. The walls
and ceilings were horribly bespattered with
blood"
