Crushed by a w.Log.

Last Friday morning, Charley
Schnatterly Of New Geneva, met
with peculiar accident, which may
possibly cost him his life. He was
ascending the hill at Nicholson's
Landing, a short distance below
Greensboro, when a-large saw-log
which was lying oil a bank above,
suddenly broke loose and came roll
ing down the hill, catching Mr..
Schnatterly crushing him to the
ground and passing entirely over
him. Dir. Milliken. Of Greensboro,
was sent for and after the unfortu-
nate man had been removed to his
home, done all for him that medical

les hich are said to be principally
internal. At this writing he is re-

in his successor one 'swho at first
wished TO revenge himself upon
Southern men of better social stand

sudden rcvulsion of feeling, desired

story OF Lincoln told by Grant is
that when the Confederate Peace

"a particular admirer." He was
physically very puny man, but
wore on that occasion a surprisingly
thick and long oyereoat, which made
him look of the average size. Short

Remarkable Conversion a Trance
for an Hour.


4Naynesburg Democrat.
The conversion of Bert Jacobs, a
fifteen year-old son of Henry Jacobs,
the South Side blacksmith, at the
NJ. f. Church revival meetings, on
Friday evening, the 30th ult., was
remarkable in many respects. The
account of it as related by Bert him
self is quite interesting. The follow
ing is his narration so far as we can
reproduce it:
son Friday evening | attended
the boys meeting held at the M. p.
Church before the regular meeting,
and | promised my companions l
would go up to the altar that even
ing, which | did After kneeling
there for some time listening to the
prayers and singing, i lost all con
seriousness of my surroundings and
found myself travelling on, broad
and dusty road. Clouds were on all
sides of me- i kept straight ahead,
and finally the road became narrow,
and it became brighter, until l
reached high and towering gate,
which shone like FURNISHED gold.
l passed through and the sight be-
held / shall never forget. There
was Christ sitting beside a huge
cross with a large open Bible before
him and multitude of angels on all
sides. l could see great mountains,
palaces and rivers. Indeed can't
describe the grandeur and beauty OF
the place. Then all at once | felt
the joy of the Lord and | awoke."
This vision, or dream, lasted for an
hour, during which the youth lay in
a trance as though dead and could
not be awakened by those present
though they repeatedly attempted
to arouse him. ..ga.t ID

Martin Irons hopes to succeed
Mr.. Powdcrly as Grand Master
Workman of the Knights of Labor.
Mr.. Powderly's successor is to be
chosen at the annual meeting of the

there has been no doubt that Mr..
Powderly would be elected without
opposition, as he has been since the
death of Uriah Stevens. But il

about there will be change in the
General Board which will bring
Irons in as the head and give him
associates representing more radical
and aggressive principles than those
for which Mr.. Powdcrly has beer
contending. Should this scheme
succeed there is hardly any doubt
that there would lie division or Sc
ccssion. II the knights cannot b.

which Mr.. Powderiy has thus fal

A DEADLY DOSE.
A Dozen Chicago Rioters Poisoned as
Result OF the Drug Store Raid

CHICAGO, May HIT has been as
certained that Of the Polish and b.
hemian rioters who RECALLED them
selves with liquid refreshments when
they sacked the drug store at Center
avenue and Eighteenth street, last
Wednesday, eight have died, and at
least four more are known to be be-
yond hopes of recovery. The police
have been too much occupied with
other matters to hunt up those who
were reported i'll, but physician has
been found who attended some OF the
victims. He said it was undoubted-
ly true that the men had been pois-
oned by drinking the contents of the
bottles in the wrecked drug store.
THE stuff taken was mostly wine of
colchicum, which greatly resembles
sherry wine and has a strong smell
of alcohol" he said. sit is viru-
lent poison, and is almost certain
death if taken in the stomach in any
quantity over a teaspoonfnl. The
effect produced by drinking it down
in gulps. as it was doubtless was,
would be to give the victim excru-
ciating pains in the bowels and con
vulsions. The effect does not wear
off to any great extent, but increases
in violence for hours, until, COM
pletely exhausted, the patient dies
in agony, his whole form writhing
and his muscles drawn up in knots
over his arms, legs and neck"
~ have treated four and have now
in my care three who are suffering
from an overdose of paregoric, no
doubt taken at the same time as the
colchicum and under the superstition
that it was liquor of some kind"
