SALISBURY, July 26.-Mrs. Jennie Toad
vine, wife Of s. Frank Toadyine, died to-
day of hemorrhage of the lungs. While
Mrs. Toadyine had been in delicate health
for some time, her death was unexpected.
She retired last night feeling as well as
usual. This morning she attempted to
get up, and fell back on the foot of the
bed. Her mother, who was in the next
room, heard an unusual sound, as of one
struggling for breath. She hastened to
the bed chamber, and only arrived in
time to hear the word "Good-bye," when
Mrs. Toadvine expired. Mr.. Toadvine
had risen early to open the store, and was
greatly shocked when notified of his wite'i
sudden death.

Through the medium of the startling

of the Chicago anarchists the people of
this country are gathering a probably
much more correct idea of the real work

in Germany. Hitherto Americans have
been accustomed tolook upon THE toinent-
ing abroad of conspiracies similar TO the
one which has been unearthed at Chicago
as excusable if not defensibIe; as
the outgrowth of a justihable re-
sistance TO tyranny; and so deeply
rooted was this conviction that the news

CHIoAoo, ILL., July 28.--The reported
international complications growing out
Of the arrest and imprisonment OF Editor
Cutting At Paso del Norte have not dis
tnrbed the serenity of army head-quarteI,s
in this city. Adjutant- General WI.
liams said yesterday that the talk about
the interest OF American citizens being
imperiled In FL Paso or its vicinity was
perfect bosh. In reply TO a question
as to the disposition OF troops
he showed that General Howard could ~
very short time assemble force ut NJ
Paso or it's vicinity which would seriously
inconvenience the forces which could p'
raised in chihuahua and all that section
OF Mexico. General Williams had nc
fear, however, about any conflict between
the regular forces Of Mexico and the
United States.
secAetary Of War Robert t. Lincoln
said that II was small matter and di'
not think it would involve any interim
tionnl complication. His experience le'
| him to believe that Mexico WIS friendi.

difference between individuals would no
disturb the friendly feelings or lend &
any appeal TO armed interference. ii
said my opinion is of but little value
but will promise there will be no wa

"a black stove-pipe hat decorated with chalk

Paso Is still in jail at Paso Del Norte,

manded to Jail, but was again brought
out yesterday and questioned. Consul

der Indictment as accessory to the mur-
der. The first notice taken Of the fall
ING 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 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 stone
from some unknown direction. Miss
Anne NIundy was also hurt, and very
severely. by dcccnding stone upon her

ALABAMA'S NEW PROPHET.
Worshiping Mt the feet Of Child Return
ed from Heaven

VERNON. ALA.. July 2S.-EarIy in
the spring Mollie Pennington, a daught-
CT Of George Pennington, a iarmcr.'was
taken violently i'll. Physicians pro-
nounced 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 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 ilocking
around to hear and see her. y World
correspondent who went to sec her yes
tcrday found her cXrounding Scripture
intclligently, and with quickncss 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 multitudcs at revival meetings in her
neighborhood. Two sick children, who
had baAled the skill of physicians, were
carried to her, and simply rubbing her
hands upon them thcJ were cured. She
asserts that she holds converse with
God daily. The girl is only thirteen
years old and docs not know hcr letters.
The Rev. Mr.. Springfield. who de-
clarcs that she never heard but three
sermons III her life, says that he has
questioned her upon passages in the
Bible which were ineNplicablc to him,
and she has answered them satistactorl-
lv. Her parents are pooEcst=of, farmers
and very illitcrate. Men of strong
minds declare that she has inspired them
