An Exciting Scene in Court.
From the Macon, Ga. Telegraph and Messen-

From the Macon, Ga, Telegraph and Messen-
ger.
A singularly dramatic incident oc-
Cured Friday near midnight in the sl-
perior court room at Waynesboro, DUR
ing the trial of the Rogers brothers for
the killing of the Symses-father and
son. The killing occurred at McBean's
station in October last. Eminent coun-
sci had been engaged by the prosecution
and defense, for both parties were
prominent and wealthy. The evidence
closed and the speaking began Friday
morning, continuing all during the day
When the court assembled after tea the
seats and the aisles within the bar were
crowded with ladies, while without a
dense throng of men filed up the audi
torium. 1t was before this assembly
that Mr.. Twiggs began his argument
at o'clock. Twiggs is an eloquent
speaker, practiced in and noted for bis
oratorical graees. In the course
of his three hours adj
dress he at one time referred in the
most feeling manner to the courage and
devotion of woman. The hour, the oc-
casion, the audience and the dim light,
from which the rapt faces were bent
upon him, all combined to form sur
rounding welt calculated to inspire the
orator to his greatest effort. He closed
his address upon the women as follows ::
"At the battle of Gettysburg Gen
Pickett was ordered to begin the charge
1. l. Il. -. 1.
went into the terrible battle, his young
bride on horseback followed him.
When the hail of death was beating
down men ON all sides, and the plung-
ing shot and shell mingled their fierce
screams with the means and cries of the
mangled. Picket suddenly found him
self in the presence of his wife. In an
agony of fear for her safety, he cried
out to her as she sat cool and collected
as veteran, Go back Go back
For Gods sake go back to the rearr
No. replied the devoted woman, in
the hour of danger wife's place is at
her husbands side"
At this moment through the court
room there rang one wild thrilling cry,
which nearly lifted the excited throDg
to its feet 1t was the old rebel yell,
heard upon hundred battle fields and
never to be forgotten. A deep silence
followed. All eyes were turned toward
the outer circle. Then Judge Roney's
cold voice was heard bidding the sher-
Tiff to arrest the offender. A man was
seen lodging through the crowd and
the Judge continued "The man who is
leaving is probably the one wanted"
mo, Judge" exclaimed voice slow
ly, II am the man." The speaker stood
in the aisle with folded arms, quietly
contemplating the bench
II shall have to fine you SO, then,
for disturbing the court"
Every well, your honor, 1 will pay the
money" said the man without moving
"but meant no disrespect, l was a
confederate soldier at Gettysburg and
just could not help from hollering."
The ladies present sprang to their
feet, and in an instant the money
was made up and paid to the clerk.
The involuntary yell of the old soldier,
was an irresistible tribute to woman
hood. Had the fine been ten times as
large he would not have suffered.

Kidney Complaints.

The kidneys form a very important channel
for the outlet of disease from the system car
rying of aeeumulations that poison the blood
As the lungs remove the carbonie acid the liver
the hillary acid, so the kidneys remove the
uric acid. The undue accumulation of this acid
is the poison that often produces rheumatism
and other chronic diseases. The kidneys are
often affected and cause serious disease when
least suspected. II there is weakness. heat or
pain in the back or loins, WEAKNESS, nervous
restlessness, and any unnatural condition of the
urine, hot dry skim and hectic flushes, bloat-
ing of the body or swelling of the limbs, annoy
ing headaches INSTRUCTED circulation, with sed-
inlent or grayely or albuminous deposits in the
secretion from the kidneys; or if that secretion
be either extremely pale or high colored, then
the kidneys are evidently not doing their natu-
rul work. Many suffer from serions kidney
trouble without knowing what ails them No
matter in what form the kidney complaint may
exist there is no better purifying regulating di-
uretca and tonic, than Burdick's Blood Bitters;

that during one of Lees battles near

The New York supreme court has
decided that the money widow re-
ceiyes as insurance upon her husbands
life cannot be seized by creditors for
debts incurred while the husband is
living. In this particular case King
ston hardware firm had been trying for
thirteen years to collect on a Judgment
against the wife of hotel man; the
husband died some months ago,
and the hardware dealers enioined the
widow from withdrawing the insurance
money from the bank in which she had
placed it. She defied the injunction
and is now upheld By the court. This
decision is said to be new one, and is
likely to prove a further indueement
to life insurance.

A BOGUS GHOST.
The Tricks of Medium Exposed.

Boston Advertiser.
There is no end to the folly of the
credulous. Those who have watched
the spread of the undertaking spirit
seances in this city during the last year
have had proof enough of this. Last
night Mrs. Bliss, of 80 East Newton
street, began, as usual, by explaining
that this seance was her religion, and
then followed the usual iugglery A
figure in white appeared, and then Lit
tie Billy" in dark nautical costume,
and then another figure in white was
very demonstratively affectionate to
some of the sitters. After time one of
the audience grew impatient and threw
his arms about the figure as she danced
up to him, crying, Stay, oh, stay !"
The spirit ~ struggled violently in
very feshy way, and half dozen of the
persons who were managing the per-
Torrance threw themselves upon him
and dragged him back. The spirit CD
ran back into the cabinet, followed
closely by some of the observers.
Matches were lighted and blown out by
the confederates. The gas was stopped
up, but still more matches were lighted
and another burner found. One of the
gentlemen was collared and dragged
out, but he slipped
back into the cabinet. The medium
was then on the floor with stalwart
friend standing over her. Her shoes
were in the corner and her stockinged
feet were visible Her arms and neck
were entirely bare, but the muslin robe
which she had worn as ghost was
wrapped round her waist and tucked
under her Her dark dress she had
caught up and pinned round her shout
ders. The cap and little blue skirt

where lying by her, half-hidden. but
these and the shoes were picked up and
preserved by the investigating party.
Meantime there was regular tussle
outside, ending in the t1rning of the
little party out into the hall and locking
the door. Before they left, the medi
um had succeeded in getting her dress
partly on, but was afraid to rise to show
her paraphernalia. Altogether" says
one who was present, lit was a complete
expose of a plain humbug." Doubtless
some person will deny it. There Is no
end TO fools. But half dozen or more
gentlemen saw the whole thing, and
there can be no doubt about 1t.
