PHENOMENAL OCCURRENCE.

Speech From Fright

SAVANNAH, GA, Sept s.--A strange Incl
don't OF last woek's earthquake shock is tho
recovery of the power Of speech by Miss
Mamie Martus, daughter OF retired officer
of theregular army At the close OF the
war her father was put in charge Of Forts
PULASKI and Jackson, below this city.
While nt tho former fort, the daughter,
thena bright intelligent child, had an at
tack Of meningitis, which left her voiceless.
The best medical skill was obtained, and
the father took his afflicted child travelling,
but nothing did her any good. She was
dumb, but had all the other senses. Dur
ing the excitement Of the first earthquake
shock last Tuesday night she in her fright
attempted TO call her brother. He was
frightened himself when he heard her whis-
per his name Since then she has gradu-
ally rcgained her voice, and now talks with
perfect fluency. She says she was almost
delirious with JOY when She found that she
could speak Her voice was low and her
throat sore for three days, and she has
found trouble In finding words TO express
her thoughts. II was much like learning n
new tongue, except that she knew the
words, but had forgotten how 10 pronounce

A Chlld,s MlracuIous Escape.

CINCrsYArr, Sept. 12.-Mr. and Mrs. Ed.
Schultz with their three-year-old son, of
Madisonyille, came in Saturday evening to
see the Exposition, and passed the night at
the residence of Geo. Greenwald, on West
Fourth street. The family occupy the
front rooms on the third floor. This morn
ing the parents went down to breakfast
leaving the boy asleep. The little
one awoke and climbed out Oh
tho front window to the balcony.
Then getting upon the iron railing
the child lost his balance and fell to the
stone pavement in front of the parlor win
dows, a distance of over thirty feet A
gentleman passing at the time saw the &C, 9,
cident and alarmed the house. The child
was taken in and the doctors summoned.
They could find no injuries beyond few
scratches on the lower limbs. The, escape
was most miraculous, as the lower palcony
is only about three feet wide, and the child
could not have missed the iron railing more
than an inch.

Seventy Thousand People Rendered Des-
titute by the Failure OF the Fisheries.
HALIFAX, N. s.. Sept. 12.-Alfred B. Nor
rine, member of the New Foundland Legis-
lature for Bonayista, now here, says: "Ihe
Labrador fisheries are an entire failure. AT
their best they can afford but bare sub
sistence. Thirty thousand people go from
New Foundland to Labrador for fish
every year This year they have not
caught enough to pay the cost OF trans.
portation and supplies At least 2O,OOo
more people are dependent upon the sue
cess OF the abovem ementioned 10000. The
total failure of the shore fisheries this
year renders 10000 people destitute, only
10000 Of those depending upon them be-
ing prepared to stand the loss OF a years
labor. The people have barely enough
for present necessities, and no means
of earning a dollar The only re-
lief to this picture is the fact that the po-
tato crop, the only crop raised on the
island, is turning out wen, and will Yield
about peck per head of population"

pcditiOn to Start ut once
LoSDlx, Sept, 9.-Mr. Murray, speaking
before the British Association, advocated
a lnrge scheme for Antartic exploration.
He said that II the Australian Governments
could be induced to vote s510O) each and
Parliament S75 600 towards the outfit of an
Aptariic expedition the success of the un-
dertakilg would be assured. The colonies
might follow the example of Australia,
and this would be the first great step in
imperial federation. Mr.. Murray then
went on TO give an account of the Antartc
circle, which be said might be said 70 be
covered with white shroud of snow and
ice, which had hitherto prevented any de-
tailed examination Of either the solid land
or thb ocean waters. Five expeditions,
said Mr.. Mairay, bad been dispatched
from England aud other countries TO ex-
plore the Antartic Continent, but only that
OF Sir james Ross had been especially
fitted for tho work, and only he and Wilkes
had got within the Antartic circle, aud
Ross has expressed the opinion that had II
been possible 10 find a place OF security

terror might have been explored with sleds
and the Southern Pole reached. The Ant
hrtie land had n great interest to us from
the scientific questions connected with the
ice cap and iceberg. The ice cap in the
Southern Hemisphere might be several
milesin thickness near the pole, and u was
in connection with this that some OF the
most interesting scientific Investigations
were required to be made.

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept 12,-Wells four feet

One is four hundred feet up the side of the
mountain and will be thirty five feet deep.
The other is seventy feet deep and six
hundred feet up the mountain. Into thu,
former twelve tons of giant powder and
into the latter two carloads will be
dumped. These will be blown up in

ports will be equal to the earthquake
shock. Stone Mountain is but fifteen miles
from Atlanta. Citizens are generally
alarmed, as they believe such an explosion
will be sufficiently strong to reach the city.

ROMANCE OF THE WAR,
The End of Which is Arrest for
Embezzlement.
Stolen Treasure Buried Near New Or
Ieans-After Three Weeks OF Dig
glng the Soldier Who Says he
Buried It is Arrested for De-
ception.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 10.-Dr George
J. Adams, OF Massachusetts, was arrested
here to-day charged with embezzlement by
a number of persons whom he defrauded
out OF money to search for hidden treas
ure. Adams claims to have ibeen a prac-
ticing physician in Massachusetts when
the war broke out. He shouldered mus

Massachusetts, Volunteers. A portion oil
the command came with Butler to New
Orleans In foraging expedition three
soldiers OF the regiment entered dwell
ing on the Magnolia plantation, twenty
miles above New Orleans, on the right
bank OF the river, and carried OIL some
5000 in gold and silyer-Sl, 500 OF II In
silver half dollars $1,000 In dollars, and the
remainder in gold. Being afraid to enter
the city with so much money, on reaching
pecan grove about hall q mile from , itn,, tne
locks at the canal opposite Greenville, they
selected tree, prominent for its size and
some peculiarities about its appearance
which made 1t conspicuous. AT the loot
of this tree they buried the money and
then took bearings, one OF the party being
civil engineer. Each Of the three men
were furnished with a copy OF this, and the
marauders returned to New Orleans, in,
tending TO return after the war and
recover the money. His two com
panions were Killed and Adams
was desperately wounded soon after.
Adams was taken to Northern hospital,
and left it paralyzed and helpless. When
he recovered the use of his limbs, only q
month ago, he returned to New Orleans
and at once began to search for his treas
ure. He found to his dismay that all the
old pecan trees had been cut down and
only the young ones left, and was conse-
quently unable to recoZniZe the tree under
which the treasure was buried. He devot-
ed himself, however, for three weeks In
delying for it. A few days ago he took
several other parties into partnership with
him, who advanced better outfit for sur
