DIED IN SPITE OF VOUDOU.
a Negro Magic Doctor Vanquished by.a
Case of Isright's Disease.

New ORLEANS. June 30.-That the
negroes are not the only believers in
voudou practices in Southern louisiana
has been abundantly shown in this city
during the past week. Some weeks ago
a Young German. named Henry Forschl-
er, a grocery keeper in fair cIrcum-
stances. was taken i'll. He sent for
negro herb doctor, who prescribed and
administered simple remedies, but For
schler did not improve. At last the
sick man became convinced that he had
been voudoucd and nothing could re-
move the impression from his mind.
Conversation with neighbors only
strengthened his belief and week ago
Forschler determined to consult a
voudou as to his condition. He sent for
one Grapion, a French speaking negro
and nephew of the notorious Marie
Laveau. The latter for more than fifty
years and until her death, three years
AGO. was known as the Voudou Queen,
and welded great influence among the
negroes and a certain class of whites,
who feared her mysterious power, in
which they firmly believed. Naturally,
among this class, the Voudou Queens
relatives are supposed to be endowed
with like powers. Grapion called to
see Forschler and after q brief invcsti-
cation declared that he had been YOU
doued and could not be cured unless the
voudou grigri was removed.
This. he SAID, would be found under
Forschlcr's store. Grapion went to the
store, followed by crowd of four or
five hundred people. and proceeded to
remove the flooring. Underneath he
found various articles in triangular-shap-
ed vessels, which he pronounced grlgri.
consisting of gunpowdcr, vinegar.
needles, burnt cork and other SUBJ
stances. This manifestation of Grapion's
power and the deviltry Of the voudou
enemies of Forschler was conclusive
evidence TO the crowd, consisting al
most altogether of white people. They
haunted the store and the house Of For
schler continually seeking further mani
festatlons. Notwithstanding the assur-
ance of Grapion that he would now get
well, Furschler continued to sink and
died last night, to the last believing
that he was the victim of youdou
Vaccinations. This belief was shared
by the hundreds who had followed the
case with unabated interest. An
autopsy was held on the dead man this
morning and it was found that he had
died of Briyht's disease. The voudou
Grapion Is under arrest for malpractice.

A Duel to the Death.

CHICAGO, June 30.-A Gatcsvillc,
Texas, special says: james Cooper
and Joseph Van Wynklc fought an i'll
formal duel with revolrcrs Oh Brown
Creek in Corycl County. Cooper was
shot in the head and dGd i'll a few min
utes, and Van Wynkle was shot through
the bowels and has since died. Cooper
and Van Wynklc were mortal enemies,
having Quarrclcd about year ago over
some cattle. Yesterday they met on
Brown Creek. and after some hot words
they agreed to fight to the death. They
measured of the ground and each with
his watch in his hand waited for the
moment agreed upon for opening firing.
At the appointed time two shots rang
out almost simultaneously. Van Wynn
klc had received his fatal wound. but
Cooper was not scratched. Another
round was fired and Cooper fell with Il
bulltct in his brain. This is the story
told by Van Wynklc before his death.
The firing attracted some hcrders about
a mile distant and they cared for the
wounded man until he died.

afternoon, whiler returning, the boat was
struck by squall and turned over in

The men tried to ''douse" the sail and
fl,rl it when they felt the squall coming,
but the wind blew it away from them
three times and finally capsized the
boat. George Simons, Andrew Slmons

4 Sumicr ScnSntiOn.

Recently the members of the Legsla-
turc from Sumter met in the office OF
Col. Joseph II. Earle. in the town OF
Sumter, and unanimously recommended
to Governor Thomson that Colonel
James D. Graham be appointed Clerk
of Court for Sumter vice W. II. Cuttlno,
deceased. The Governor was notified
of this action but all Sumter was set by
the ears on Wednesday week. when the
Governor sent to Col. Earle Il letter
which he had received from Colonel j..
j. Dargan, stating that Colonel Graham
had presided at Radical meetings, had
held Office under several Radical Govern
ors, was drunkmrd totally unfit for any
office of honor or trust, but was useful
only to spoils politicians. When the let
ter was received a meeting OF the citizens
was called and resolutions were passed
dcclcaring that Colonel Graham has
been and still is sclt-sacriIcing. hard
working Democrat. and descrvcdly one
of the most popular men in the County.
The resolutions were forwarded to the
Governor who thcrcupon appointed
Col. Graham to the Office.

cd her right arm aud l saw the pistol
in her hand. She raised the pistol and
fired directly at Steedly. Steedly got
up and went in the door. Emma Con-
nelly followed after him and snapped her
pistol twice before Steedly got to the
back door of the church. and when she
was about six feet from the door j. B.
Hunter and Lawtop Connolly caught
her and took the pistol away from her.
Steedly lived about five or ten minutes
after he got out of the door,"
DR.. j. F. Baggot made the postmor-
tenn examination aud found that Steedly
had been shot in the back, the ball enter
ing near the uprer angle of the scapula
on the left side, passing between the
third and forth ribs in downward dlrcc-
ton, about two feet to the front of the
abdomen. The ball was thirty-elght
calibre and was cut out about two inches
below and the same to the lett OF the
left Of the umbillicus.
Miss Connolly returned to her home
this evening. and will remain there, il
not molested by the officers of the law
until next week. when Court convcnes
at Barnwell. She did not like the idea
of being confined in Jail. and for this
reason concluded to wait until Court
meets, when she will probably demand
trial. 1t is said that she says that the
immediate cause of the shooting was q
dirty blackgaurd letter written to her a
few days ago by Steedly.
Miss Emma, Connolly the slayer OF
John Steedly, went to Barnwell this
morning in company with her father. and
surrendered to the authorities. She was
in good spirits and did not seem to be
the least excited. The cause 0: the
shooting is supposed to be the reports
circulated by Steedly. rejecting upon
the honor of Miss Connolly. hut rumors
are ahoat to the effect that certain let
tiers, which have not yet been made pub
lie may have been the immediate cause.
The inquest was held by Justice d. j..
Rowe this morning. The verdict was
that the deceased came to his death from
a gunshot wound inflicted by Miss Emma
Ceunel!y. Quiet reigns at Hunters
Chapel. and public sentiment seems to
be with Miss Connolly. The affair is
very much regretted by the friends OF
both parties.
