Madison,

The Agricultural society held meeting in Goes hall last Friday evening and MT. Gold secretary of the Stats Agricultural society addressed the meeting. The society numbers over one hundred members and is prospering finely.
 Last Sunday evening MT. Elmer Knowles, of Madison, was married to Miss Belle Nun ger, of Guilford, Rev. Mr. Gallup officiating MT. Knowles is the enterprising proprietor of the business known as the ''Gem Card Co., He has sold the building where he formerly worked to MT. Howel, the new postmaster, who will remove it and fit it up for a post office. Knowles will remove his business to tte store near East River bridge.
 The removal of the postoffice seems to be source of general satisfaction to all, ire spective of party politics, excepting a few who reside in the immediate vicinity of it's present location. It is now located at the extreme eastern end of the village, thus making it such a source of inconvenience to those who live at the western end that many will find nearer it and more conven- tent to get their mail at East River thus cutting off part of the business that natur- ally belongs to the Madison office. MT. Will COX, who has been postmaster here for nine teen years, has always given general satisfac- tion, and as the loss of limb many years ago has incapacitated him for manual labor he seemed the man just fitted for the place and the place just fitted for him. He has now opened boot and shoe store, which we hope will De well patronized, and there are many, even Democrats, who do not look upon this business as a piece of ''civil service reform :"

Superstition and Witchcraft.

READING, Pa, April "A strange story
of superstition and witchcraft, which is
verified by some of the best known people
in the neighborhood, comes from Windsor
Castle, small village situated along the
foot of the Blue Mountains. John Fink, a
farmer, has five children who have become
afflicted with a strange malady, and the
little neighborhood believes that they are
bewitched. The afflicted children are Caro-
line, aged twenty-one years; John, aged
sixteen; Louise, aged fourteen; Salle, aged
eleven, and Willie, aged seven. Residing
near the Finks is an elderly woman, who
has been looked upon with suspicion by her
neighbors for some years, and she is be-
lieved to have bewitched the children. The
latter say that the old woman manifests
herself in the form of cat, though no one
else in the family is able.to see it. They are
frequently thrown into violent parox-
ysms. and are seized with terrible spasms,
which pass from one to the other. They
frequently cry out, beseeching God to re-
lease them from their terrible spell. They
imagine that the cat is endeavoring to jump
into their faces to scratch their eyes out.
Then they tear at their throats and rush
into the open air, as, they say, the imagin-
airy old woman is trying to squeeze the life
out of them. Next they weep and cry out
that she is biting them. They become ex-
hausted after these spells, and their friends
fear that unless they are cured soon they
will die. DR.. Hatfield, the family physician,
says it is case which he cannot solve.
DIR. Hagenman, of this city, the recognized
witch doctor throughout Eastern Pennsyl-
vania, visited the children. He laid his
hands on them, going through all the in
carnations. After his visit the children
became worse. The house is continually
su- ounded by crowds of people, who drive
to the place from miles around.

A MAD MOTHERS CRIME.
Saturates Her Little Ones with Kerosene
Set Them A6re Cuts Her Throat and
Dies With Them.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, April 2.-The details
have justreached here of terrible tragedy
that occurred in the town of Attica,
Wyoming County, near the line of the
Erie Railroad. About eleven O'Clock
in the forenoon farmer named Scott
Spring and his hired man returned to
the house, from the woods, several hum
dred yards distant, where they had been
at work. Spring saw smoke issuing from
the house, and was surprised to find all
the windows and doors fastened. He burst
open the kitchen door and was horrihed to
find his little boy, three years old, lying on
the floor dead. He rushed into the sitting
room where the smoke was dense. He ex-
claimed: "Oh, my God! my children"
as he discovered in this room that another
dead upon the floor, its clothing
bed clothing in the corner of the room,.
upon which lay the mother of the children
with terrible cash in her throat, inflicted
by her own hand. By almost superhuman
exertion the flames were extinguished, but
not until the two-year-old child and the
mother were burned almost to crisp,
producing horrible deaths. Examination
of the clothing of the children showed
that their mother had l saturated 5!1ated
throat. Her motive for the inhuman deed
is said to have been rage at her husband.
She was his second wife, and had guar
whose side their father had taken, pro.
ducing row between the husband and
wife. They had agreed to separate, and she
was soon to start for her old home in
the West. She had quarreled with her
tragedy because he did not furnish her
money for her immediate departure. Scott
Spring claims to have always used the
woman well, and that she had most
violent and ungovernable temper, but that
he never suspected she would commit such
an awful crime.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
A Large Sign and Brick Blown
Down by the Wind.
A Young Lady Instantly Killed and Anoth-

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 5.-About 8
O'Clock this afternoon, during the momenta-
ry prevalence Of wind-storm, a large
sign on the roof of Murphy's book store,
No. $50 Grant street, were wrenched from
its fastenings and thrown, together with
several hundred brick to the pavement be-
low, the mass catching in its fall two young
ladies who were passing, named Belle
Cousley and Agnes johnson, and an old
man named Dennis McCarty. Miss
Cousley was killed almost in
stantly, the sign striking her
on the head and crushing her
skull. Miss johnson, when picked up, was
in condition of insensibility, but soon re.
vived. Her head was badly cut, her nose
and both legs broken, and her body terri
bly, bruised. Her injuries, however, are
not regarded as fatal. McCarty escaped
with few slight cuts and bruises. NO
blame is attached to Murphy for the acci-
dent, as the sign was new, and the fasten-
ings strong and in good condition.

The boomers again protested when they
heard of this proclamation. They passed
resolutions declaring that "a large number
Of cattle men and cattle syndicates" were
occupying the Oklahoma country with per-
manent improvements for farming and
grazing purposes. The resolutions were
telegraphed to the President On the same
day Captain Couch announced that he
would break camp on Monday, March 16,
and move South into the Indian Territory.
He called upon those who would follow him
to be prepared with agricultural implements
and sixty days rations, as he was going to
stay. On the same day General Hatch an
nOunced that the boomers could not get
through his line. He had six companies of
the Ninth Cavalry (colored) directly op-
posed to the boomers, and plenty OF other
troops near by. He said they could sue

four thousand men.

OKLAHOMA,

History of the First Troubles in Connec-
tion with This Section of the Country
Description and Extent of the Disputed
Territory.
The ''Oklahoma boomer has come to be
familiar name of late. At present there
are one thousand or more Oklahoma
boomers. They are encamped on Cheeota
Creek, six miles from Arkansas City, on
the southern border of Kansas To the
south of them lies the Indian Territory.
Nearly in the center of that Territory
stretches the Oklahoma country, an exceed
ingly fertile and attractive area. The
boomers wish to march upon it, to settle in
1t, and to possess it. The United States
Government says that they must not do
this; that the land is pledged to the Indians.
The boomers declare that they will do it.
United States troops are posted opposite
the camp OF the boomers, on the opposite
side of Cheeota Creek. They have orders
not to permit the boomers to set foot in the
Indian Territory. Other United States
troops are posted in the Territory-in the
Oklahoma country-to guard it against the
boomers.
In November last died Captain David L.
Payne, known better as Oklahoma Payne.
He was. the originator and first leader of the
Oklahoma boomers He was man of OBJ
stinate convictions. He contended that the
Oklahoma lands were public property, upon
which he and his followers had the right to
settle. These lands, as has been said are
fertile and desirable. They lie little to
the east of the center of the Indian Terri
tory. They cover about eighteen hundred
square miles. From north to south at their
longest part they measure sixty miles, and
they stretch forty miles at the point of their
greatest breadth. They are bounded on the
north by the Cherokee strip of land lying
west of the Arkansas River; OH the east by
the reservations of the Pawnee, Iowa,
Kickapoo and Pottawattomie tribes of In
dians; on the south by the Canadian River;
and on the west by the reservation of the
Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Indians. In these
limits are included 1857, 800 acres half
million acres more than are comprised in
the State of Delaware. Colonel Boudinot,
Cherokee, gave the name of Oklahoma to
the country. 1t is a word of the Cherokee
language, and signifies 1.-The home of the
red man." The shortest way into the Ok
lahOma country from Kansas is from Cald-
well, on the Kansas border, along stage
road and cattle trail that runs to Fort Reno,
on the western border Of Oklahoma.
