a kentucky Hamlet ASitated Over the
Strange Matter.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. July 2S.-The in
habitants Of Mundy's Landing, on the
Kentucky River. Woodford County, are
considerably worked up over showers
of stones which have descended in their
midst. Several persons have been Sc
veerely hurt and roofs Of houses made to
rattle like musketry. The scene and
location of these mysterious visitations
are at and near the house of Mrs. Lucre-
tia Mundy, widow ofLowry Mundy, who
died from the effects of poison adminis-
tered, as charged, by his wife and Dr..
Davis, the latter now serving life sem
tencc IN the peniteniary for being guilty
of poisoning. and Mrs. Mundy being un-
der indictment as accessory to the mur-
der. The first notice taken OF the fall
INC stones was on Monday last, when
parties picking blackberries in a patch
some distance from the Mundy mansion
were surprised at the dropping of small
stones in their midst and continuing to
drop atintervals. Their surprise changed
to alarm, and with buckets and berries
they beat a hasty retreat from the patch.
The next day Mrs. DR.. Davis, when
about 100 yards from her house, was
struck severely on the arm by a stone
from some unknown direction. Miss
Anne Mundy was also hurt, and very
severely. by dccending stone upon her
head. Miss Eva Mundy the next day
was hit and slightly hurt. x negro.

cliff. which came near ending his career.
Saturday and Sunday several negroes
were struck, one or two of them being
severely injured. The people Of the
nelghborhood Of course arc stirred up.
Some think it the work of some mali
clons individual or individuals who are
creating the sensation. Others think it
of the supernatural order, But whether
from natural or unnatural causes all are
of the opinion that it Is very strange
affair. Several houses besides the Davis
Mundy mansion have been struck and
the stones descend pcrpcndicularly and
not horizontally as if thrown BY the
hand of all individual.

SAVANNAH, GA, July 27.-In TAFT
nall County last week negro named
Samuel Frick left his daughter, aged
years. with negress named Mary
Hallenbeck to be cared for during his
absence at his employment at turpen-
tine still in neighboring County.
Yesterday Frick returned, and upon de-
manding his child was met with so
many evasive and contradictory replies
as to arouse a suspicion that some
thing was wrong.
A search Of the premises resulted in
finding one-half Of the chlld's body
hidden in a barrel which had originally
contained salt pork. The pickle had
not sufficed to prevent decomposition,
and the father was attracted to the
barrel by the unnatural stencil arising
from it. Other negroes IN the neigh
borhood now joined in the search, and
when the discovery was made there
were fifteen or twenty blacks about the
premises. The enragcd father was on
the point of Draining the woman with
an ak when she fell OH her knees and
said she would confess everything it he
would spare her life. 1t was decided to
hear the story, but. as the sequel PROV
ed. she would have Jared better had she
maintained silence.
Two days after the child was placed
in her care negro picnic was given III
the vicinity, and she was called on to
prepare the dinner. Having no meat,
and knowing she would get no money
unless she served some. she determined
to kill the child and cook its flesh. Be-
ing somewhat under the influence OF
liquor. the ticndishncss Of the idea had
no horrors for her. and she deliberately
Drained the child with al Ak. dismem-
bered and boiled the limbs down into
stew with heterogeneous coll lection OF
vegetables. When it was served the
negroes remarked upon the popularity
of its flavor. but nevertheless ate hearth

that they were nausaated BY the mess.
but none OF them were made seriously

At the conclusion of the revolving re-
cital the fury Of the hearers was un-
governable. and it was quickly decided
to burn her alive at the stake. She was
taken into field and chained to a post
fixed in the ground in the midst ola
pile of inflanmable pine saturated with
kerosene. When the match was applied
the flames lcaped high into the air, and
the wretch was. soon enveloped IN

responsible person. She hasa dread of
returning, and says she would seek en-
pl0Yment here in the city before taking
that step. let her inheritance go where
it may. There can be no doubt that
Miss Marshall has q fortune of her own,
as thc Iirn, of which her father was the
head, was one of the wealthlest in the
South and at the time of his death was
enjoying a splendid season ofprosperity.
How large her fortune is il is impossible
to say, but, as she was the only child
and heir-at-law. it must be considerable.
Ever since her fathers death she has
been maintained in sumptuous style by
her guardian at various schools, includ-
ing that from which she ran away.

ALABAMA'S NEW PROPHET.
Worshiping at the feet Of - Child Return

VERNON, Ala, July 2S.-Early in
the spring Mollie Pennington, a daught-
er of George Pennington, farmer. was
taken violently i'll. Physicians pro-
nouuced her case hydrophobia. She
presented every symptom of rabies, at
tempting to bite those around her. She
soon rallied from this condition and lay
ia bed in a comatose condition for three
days. On the morning of the third she
predicted that she would die in one hour
and that at the expiration of another
hour she would come back to life again.
Sixty minutes exactly after the time she
swooncd away, she opened her eyes and
jumped nimbly from the bed. She as
serts that she died and went to heaven
where God cured her and sent her back
to the world to proclaim his word. The
news spread rapidly over the Red Hills
until the whole country was wild with
excitement, and crowds began tiocking
around to hear and see her. a World
correspondent who went to see her yes
terday found her eXpounding Scripture
ntelligently, and with quiclipcss that
was Surprising. She described her
transition from earth to heaven, and her
entrance into the gates of heaven led by
Jesus. She says that she is Il disciple
and a prophet, and has been preaching
to mullitudcs at revival meetings in her
neighborhood. Two sick children, who
had baf4led the skill of physicians, were
carried to her, and simply rubbing her
hands upon them they were cured. She
asserts that she holds converse with
God daily. The girl is only thirteen
years old and does not know ncr letters.
The Rev. Mr.. Springfield, who de-
clares that she never heard but three
sermons IN her life, says that he has
questioned her upon passages in the
Bible which were ineNplcable to him,
and she has answered them satisfactorl-
ly. Her parents are poe oosest7Sof farmers

her, but as she proved obdurate he
placed her in his hack, and after giving
some instructions to two Of his employ

and placed her in charge of lady he
knew in the upper part of the city.
The lady is Samaritan, noted for her
GOOD deeds in the saving of misguided
Young women. The hackman had no

firm in the stand he had taken she

until her guardian, who has been notified
of her whereabouts, shall put in an ap-
pcarancc and take her to her Southern
home.
TO a reporter who called upon her at
her present abode the lady admitted
that she came OF a distinguished He
brew family of New Orleans. Her name
was May Marshall, and her father, the
late Thomas II. Marshall, ofthe well
known dry goods firm of Marshall'&

ant of the famous Tom Marshall of
Kentucky, and very proud he was of
his descent. Ills mother was 4 Jcwcss
and his father an American. Her
mother, too, came from a wealthy tami-
ly, half Italian, half jewish. Her
tathcr died when she was but ten years
old and her mother two years prior to
that time. She was then placed in the
charge of James II. kerns, her fathers
PARTNER in business, who was made sole
executor of his will and guardian OF the

the first time Louis Fciblcman, i youth

He informed her that he was hackman.
This seemed to relieve the fair inquirer
of some doubt she seemed to entertain,
and, with much ditfidence and many
bushes, she asked him to take her
to one of the many guided palaces
of sin uptown. The honest fellow
stood transfixed. Many requests of a
similar nature had been made to him
before, but his keen eye told him that
this was no ordinary case, and that the
uirl who stood before him had not vet
fallen.
AS soon as he recovered from his as
tonishment he asked her why she wished
to enter upon such life. She was
reticent at first, but by adroit manage
ment he learned that she had run away
from a convent in New Orleans the Sum
day before and had taken this step be-
cause life had become uncomfortable there.
She said her father, who had been a:dry
goods man in New Orleans, died eight
years ago. Her mother, too. was dead,
and as her guardian wished to be rid OF
the trouble Of personally caring for her
lie placed her in the Sacred Heart Con-
vent in the French quarter at New
Orleans. There, she said, she had been
virtually imprisoned, deprived of all
social enjoyment and even dcbarred from

state of things she could not bear and
