A EaCkY FIND. On a farm at
Asland Shoals, Ga, Samuel Nc
Daniel, young farmer, was in the
field ploughing. His plough caught
in some obstruction. Urging on
the mule, he dragged forth five
gallon jug. The Jug had cork
stopper. sealed, and piece Of tin
doubled over it, with a wire fasten-
ed round it, making it perfectly
secure. Mcdaniel was anxious to
know what was in it, 50 he took his
heel-screw off his plough and twist
ed off the wire. This enabled him
to take out the cork. He then plac-
ed the jug on a stump, and apply
ing his lips tasted the best brandy
he had ever tasted. SO captivatcd
was he that he drank several times.
and at last the liquor overcoming
him he slipped down asleep at the
foot Of the stump. Failing to come
in to dinner the mother went out to
the field after him, when he was a
bout waking up. Together they
gave the ug another examination
when Mrs. McDanicls attention
was attracted TO it's great weight.
An investigation showad the pres
encc Of 800 five dollar gold pirc-
cs, making total of 50, 800. The
mystery was cleared up in a sim
gular manner. McDanial : grand
father was a captain in the Florida
war. It was known that he WAS
wealthy before he left. On news Of
! his death in one Oflhc battles wi!h
the Indians his hcils could find no
trace of his money. The fact that
Years after his grandson and heir
should have found his fortune IS a
! singular incident.

DEATH OLA BELIEVER IN FAITH CURES.
A Woman Refuses Medicine and Resorts
to Prayer.

A Woman Refuses Medicine and Resorts
to Prayer.
Some peculiar facts were developed in
Philadelphia last Tuesday, before the
Coroner in the investigation into the
cause of the death of Emma Kitzmiller,
age thirty-three. She and her husband
were members of a religious sect called
the Heavenly Recruits, part of whose
creed is that faith cures all disease. The
wife was taken seriously i'll and her
friends attempted to cure her by prayer.
Her brother, who is non believer, called
in doctor. She took his medicine for
while and then concluded that if she ex-
pected the Lord to cure her she must
depend upon the Lord alone. The medi-
cine was discontinued and she died on
Saturday. The husband is apparently
we'll educated man and the manner of his
testimony showed that he thoroughly be.
lieved in the doctrine he professed.
While he was testifying cousin of the
dead woman gave yell and fell to the
floor in H.. The witness coolly said:
Let him alone. Just straighten him
out. He has been subject to such things
since he was boy" Two brothers of
the dead woman testified that they be-
lieved in the faith cure and two others
that they did not believe in it. The two
latter had visited the house and accused
the husband of being their sisters muir
derer. He had them locked up. The
jury returned a verdict O. death from

ANOTHER COACHEE IN LUCK.

Tom Mclaughlin Wins the Heart and Hand
of Rich Widow-The Bride Connected
by Marriage with the Vanderbilt Fam
lily.
Another coachman is in luck. This
time it is Thomas Mclaughlin, 21years of
age, and Mrs. Emma Britton a wealthy
widow of Staten Island, New York, for
whom he drove a coach. Mrs. Emma
Britton is the wealthy widow of the late
Abram Britton, a daughter of the aristo-
cratic Vredenourgh family and relative
by marriage of the Vanderbits.
The Nredenburgh homestead is at Cas-
Teton, near the farm of the late Commo-
dore Vanderbilt, bought when he ran a
line of sloops to New Brunswick. The
on the island since the colonial days, be-
came closely connected by intermaariage.
About 20 years ago Miss Emma Nreden-
burgh, young, stylish and handsome. be-
came the wife Of Abram Britton. Tie
husband was much older than his bride,
but he was very wealthy and owned vast
tracks of land throughout Richmond
county. The Brittons, too, are an old
knickerbocker family, and The home
stead in Castleton is one of tho finest
residences on the island. After Miss
husband took her to live in au elegant
mansion surrounded by magnificent
grounds, at Give road and Bard avenue,
net far from the old homestead. There
she had everything wealth could pur-
chase or fancy dictate. When Mr.. Brit
ton died he left his widow in full posses
sion of his fortune and free to Oppose of
it as she chose.
Some months ago Thomas Mclaughlin
young Irish-American lad, with rosy
cheeks and quiet manners, went to work
for her and drove her carriage. Soon
after he became i'll and be went to his
humble home on the borders of Rocky
Hollow, on the Richmond road Sym
pathetic Mrs. Britton, who is now 40
years old, went there to nurse him. Some
| tender scenes followed and the marriage
the date and place of which are beng
kept very quiet-resulted. McLaughiin's
nelghbors yesterday told reporter that
the young husband was very sick, hav-
ing recently had two hemorrhages of the
lungs. The newly married vile passed
all her time with him, trying to make
him comfortable, and paid the bills Of
the whole family.
A reporter visited the humble abode
which the former Mrs Britton has chosen
to exchange for her own palatial domicile
Near it are the big breweries. The groom
was seated beside tbekitchen stove, with
his head leaning against the wall. He
wore a blue flannel overshrt and lad Oh
new pair of slippers, with hand worked
floral patterns Mr.. McLauglu's face
was boyish- looking. He is thin. aud his
cheek had hectic flush. He tried to
talk, but could not speak above a whis-
per- Finding conversation impossible
with the groom, the reporter asked to
see the bride.
Emma - he called, and the lady
walked in. She was dressed III blue
check wrapper and gingham apron. She
declined to make any extended reference
to her marriage.
I'VE are married legally and lawfully"
she said. My family knows Of the
marriage, and they are the only persons
that care for. Ii chose to marry
young man and he was poor that is my
own affair.

DR.. Eli Quigley, of Reddiug, Ringgold
county, Iowa made a 81, 900 insurance on
his life in July last. He exhumed
corpse from the village graveyard placed
it in his office, and then set the building
on fire. The blaze was discovered and
put out. The Doctor disappeared, and
the decomposlng corpse exposed the rea-
son for his absence. DR.. Quigley wan
dered to Canada. He was arrested in
Davis county on Friday, where he was
detained for identification until yester-
day. He passed through here in an
officers custody late last night. He
made formal confession, and duplicates
a physician and merchant Of Ringgold
county as co-conspirators. He was not
aware till his return to his family that
the plot had failed. He says he would
not have been arrested if he had had a
weapon.

Falling on In Wheat Receipts.

The extremely low price of wheat has
caused falling off in the receipts in tn
Northwest of fully so per cent, COM
pared with fifteen days ago. The Min
neapolis millers are securing less than
forty thousand bushels per day, and the
Miller's Association on Monday raised
prices in the country two cents, and
Wednesday another advance OF two cents
was ordered. 1t is rumored on appa:-
emily good authority that the big mil
lers have quietly got hold of nearly all
the good hard wheat in Dakota and the
Red River Valley, and are holding il

Mr.. Evarts and the I. :. Senatorship

Mr.. Evarts and the L. :. Senatorship.
The Albany (New York; Eoening Jour-
nal prints the following letter from Hon.
VIM NJ Evarts to Senator Jas. Arkell,
in relation to the L. s. Senatorship from
that state:
'fIn response to many inquiries and re-
quests made me from all parts of the
State, take the liberty in this form of
making public my readiness and desire
to be considered among the candidates
for election by the Legislature as Sena-
tor from this State In asking the favor
aud support of the Republican Senators
and Assemblymen for this distinguished
and responsible representation of this
great State in the Senate of the United
States have no occ tsion to qualify or
restate the principles of the Republican
party or my own hearty acceptance and
undoubtiug maintenance of those princi-
pies. The Republican party in its decla-
ration of its opinions and its purposes
has never used language obscure, uucer-
tain or framed in double sense. In the
last appeal of the great political parties
to the popular suffrage especially. the
political sentiments and cardinal objects
of the Republican party have been pre-
scented to the country without conceal
ment or assimilation. In this last, as
in every earlier struggle to maintain the
supremacy of the Republican policy in
the government of the country, | have
given every aid i'll my power to the sup
port Of the policy, the doctrines, and
the candidates of the Republican party.
The general sense o! the Republicans
of this State looks upon the senatorship
now open to election as of unusual i'm
portance. They regard this as impor-
tant to the great political and material
interests of this State. They regard it
AS important to the whole body and array
of the Republicans of the country that
the Senators of this State shall take ana
maintain place in the increasing war
fare with the Democratic party, in which
every Republican is enlisted, and which
will be persisted in until Republican po
icy and Republican statesmen shall re-
gain authority in Congress and the presi-
dency. In this critical juuctGre in the
affairs of the country and in the inter
ests of the Republican party, | am de-
sirous to fail in no duty on my part to-
wards the welfare of the country and
the prevalent authority of the Repabli-
can party in the national government.
which deem inseparable from that well
fare, | have no doubt the Legislature
will treat the duty before them with an
entire devotion to the highest and best
interests involved in the election of the
Senator, and submit to their Judgment
the question whether these interests can
be better served by myself or by an
other.

What Is Done in Executive Sessions.

Whenever it happens that the Senate
has to idle away an hour or two, an
executive session is announced, visitors
are driven from the galleries and the
doors closed. This happened on We'd
nesday last, when the Senate had to wait
an hour and a-half to hear from the
House on the concurrent resolution pro-
viding for adjournment till January 5.
Everybody was hustled out and the doors
locked, although there was no executive
business to be transacted. On the con-
trary. it is affirmed that the grave and
dignifed Senators passed the interval
smoking, sitting on the desks, telling
yarns, and laughing SO boisterously as to
be heard IN the corridors. Such Incl
dents go to confirm the prevailing belief
that many of the Senators, behind a
mask of owl-like wisdom, wear a real
face of levity, and that others are so
fond of posing as lofty statesmen that
they automatically hide themselves dur
ing periods Of Senatorial relaxation.

WEST VIRGINIA OUTLAWS.
Their Terrible Torture of an Old Man to
Extort Money From Him.

Extort Money From Him.
The second outrage and robbery by
hooded highwaymen in the past three
days has aroused the people Of Wheeling
West Virginia, to terrible pitch. On
Sunday six masked men entered the
house of Mrs. Workenour, in the East
End of the City and after brutally treat
ing the family stole about S., 900 in gold
On Tuesday night four men evidently of
the same gang, broke into the house of
Elijah Marling, bachelor miser of this
county, and finding only 1882 on his per-
son, put him to the most horrible tor
ture to force him to reveal the hiding
place of his gold. He was tied to bod
post, stripped, and red hot poker was
applied to his back and thighs in no less
than twenty places. Hot oil was also
poured down his back, and his sufferings
were terrible in the extreme. He evil
IDENTITY bad no money concealed, or the
treatment would have made him pro.
duce it. In their anger at the failure the
burglars struck their victim a heavy
blow on the head, and left him hanging
III his fastenings in an insensible condi
ton. He was found six hours later
nearly frozen and half dead, and his con-
dition is dangerous. Marling is nearly
sixty years OF age.
