LoKoNI, ARK, October &c, 1888 For the
sake of the balance of mankind who may be
suffering, wish to give you my experience
with one of your Georgia remedies. l have
been afflicted with scrofula for more than
twelve years-have had sores on me as large
"a a man, hand tor that length of time. and
last summer was so bad off that could not
wear any clothing Everybody, including
myself. had given me up to die, and said l
would be dead man in three months.
had taken hundreds of bottles of all kinds of
medicines, had spent hundreds of dollars
with physicians and had ruined my system
with mercury and potash, when friend told
me of the wonderful cures made by Swifts
Specific. got it and began its use, and
soon found it was just what | wanted. In a
short time it cured me sound and well.
Thousands of dollars could not buy from me
what Swtt's Specific has done for me. The
county officials, and in fact everybody in the
county will bear witness to what have writ
ten, for was a well-known case.
Yours respectfully, r. l. HIGH.

BangOr's Murder Trial.

A brief recapitulation of the circumstances
of the murder of Charles Pasqui will be of
interest to the public when it is remembered
that Carmen Santore and Rafael Capone have
been on trial this week for the murder, the
trial beginning on Monday.
On September eth last, it was reported
that a murder had been committed in Brewer.
The murder was among the workmen on the
new Shore Line Railroad. man was found
dead in the woods near Brewer. Some men
heard the cry "Come up here quick"
Pistol shots were heard. 1t was reported at
first that Pasqui had about SIS in money on
his person He was terrible sight when
found. He lay on his back, his shirt was
torn open and his face and breast were COW
cred with blood. The two men now in Jail,
whose names are mentioned above, were soon
after arrested for the crime. Santore, ac-
cording to reports is bad man, and has
served fourteen years i'll a prison in Italy
Capone made a confession and soon after
this Santore brigand also confessed. Both
of these men have confessed that they intend
ed to rob other Italian laborers. The case
was tried in the police court, the County
Attorney stating that the name of the muir
dered man had been incorrectly reported and
it really was Pascal Cosie.
County Attorney Appleton was led to
suspect the youngest of these respondents in
a curious way. When with Marshal Reed
and the Italian laborers he stood over the
body of the dead victim he noticed that Ca
pone, the Youngest of the two prisoners, wore
a clean white flannel shirt while those of his
fellow laborers were soiled and that his
demonstrations of sadness were greater than
his companions. Santore, too. showed some
exaggerations in his demonstrations of grief,
and using these IS a starting point, Marshal
Reed traced up his case and both parties
were bound over.

There was one of the most spiteful runa-
ways on the street yesterday that Augusta
has seen for many day. As usual it or.gi-
mated on Rines hill. As Street Commission
er Hamilton of Hallowell, accompanied by a
lady. was driving down the hill and had
reached the railroad crossing in front of the
refrigerator, one runner of the sleigh caught
between a rail and the planking, capsizing
the vehicle in an instant and splitting out the
occupants. The horse was badly frightened
BY the mishap, and Immediately started off
the bakery the affrightened animal veered to
the left and upon the sidewalk. Continuing
along the sidewalk in front of + G. Caswelrs
store he came across that gentleman's grocery
team and, giving big leap, jumped com.
pletely over it, smashing the pung and break
ing one thiI This did not deter the runaway
in his mad career, but he still kept on up the
street. kicking and prsncing in an endeavor
to free himself from the sleigh. In
font of the Cony House there was
an end to the ruuaway's career
Here the animal became entsngled in the
posts supporting the balcony, fronting the
hotel, cleared from the sleigh and was
captured. The harness was badly used up
and the sleigh demorslized, the dasher and
the seat being smashed. Several horses
started on the street during the disturbance,
which we're caught before any damage was
done. Neither Mr.. Hamilton nor Miss Ham
mon, the occupants of the sleigh. were in
