A Phantom Burial.

Some years ago, when ] was a
school boy attending school at Cal
vary, Ga, |, III company with one of
my cousins, witnessed one ofthe most
wonderful of spirit processions.
Twas on Friday afternoon, i'm the
spring of the year, and we were on
our way from school. We came down
the roadlaughing aud talking togeth-
er. We were just opposite the grave
yard mt the primitive baptist church
tPiedmontl, where we witnessed one
of the grandest burials imaginable.
lust in front of us, as silent as moon
light, came the burial procession. On.
on it came. First the corpse in n
blue wagon drawn by two white mules.
Then the mourners in black. Then
the rest of the procession in all the
colors of the rainbow, moving with
silent tread To the grove which sur
rounds the yard. Coming TO the
grove, they halted, lifted the coffin
from the wagon, lowered it into the
grave, and filed it. Then re-entering
their wagons and buggies, all of them
moved off, passing overgraves, trees.
and everything else in the way. The
whole procession then disappeared
like a mist. We knew all the people
and knew whom they buried. When
it disappeared we went home in a
hurry and told my mother about II
She would not let us tell Uncle ]. and
his wife, because it was their little
girl We saw buried. She was at the
time to my certain knowledge. well
and hearty. Before Saturday night
she was corpse, and she was carried
10 the grave in exact accordance with
the scene we had witnessed. Ma

theirs or because their candidate has

be completed by the further extension Of the
reform system already established by law, to
all the grades of the service TO which il is APP
plicable. The spirit and purpose Of the reform
should be observed in all executive appoint

patronage may be wisely and effectively
avoided" The gratitude OF the ma

Northwestern Railway Company. IL SAYS:
Al that We can decide in this proceeding
now is that the rule insisted upon by the pc
titiober, that the rate per ton per mile, taken
as a basis between Chicago and ~ Peter.
must be adopted az the standard at stations
between st. Peter aud Pierre, aud that the
latter rates must decrease relatively for the
greater distance IN the same proper
tion, as between Chicago to ST. Peter.
Is one that in the existing conditions oftrabs-
portation along the line Of this raiiroad, up
on the evidence in this proceeding, cannot be
sustained. As the complaint is based upon
this ground alone, and was 30 tried by the
parties and heard by the commission. il re-
suits that this petition must be dismissed.

other Triple Murder.

Minneapolis WIS the scene Of another terri
ble murder About nine o'clock in the even
ing a man and woman were waking down
Third street. when "a man walked rapidly mp
and confronted them. 4 report rang out
aud the escort dropped the womans arm
and fell 10 the sidewalk. with bullet in hIs
brain .'Oh, God don't shoot" The woman
screamed this out, and turning, ran back a
few steps and turned into small aiieyway,
pursued by the assassin or the avenger.
She had gone but two rods
when he overlook her, and from
distance Of only two feet, turned the
revolver upon her and fired. The ball crashed
through her head and she fell dead. The re
yolver clicked again as the hammer was
raised and the double murderer rashed still
further back into the alley, entered the rear
building and turned the weapcnupon himself.
Three reports followed in rapid suceession,
and dropping the revolver, the assassin and
would -be-suieide fell to the ground. The five
reports had rung cut loud aud clear On th.,
night air, and in few moIieI:s the sidewalk
and street were tEroBgcd by dense crowd,
which quickly assembled. Not an officer WIS
in sight and the people stood aghast, without
daring To touch one Of the three bo,hes. For
twenty minutes they laid there, until weird
had been sent TO the central station and the
patrol wagon Summoned. The woman was
stone dead and was not touched. The man
ON the sidewalk gave signs of life,
and was removed 10 his boarding place.
The story as il was gradually developed is
as follows: Ed Robinson il n teamster.
kbout year ago he married young girl
from Howard Lake, but they separated seven
months ago. Nick Weiss had made her ac-
quaintancc and was walking down Tsird
street with her when the shooting occurred.
Prom the scraps OF talk that dropped from
Robinson after the shooting il seems he
had warned his wife against going with
Weiss, and had got the revolver with
the express purpose Of shooting them.
There is about an even chance that Robin
son may recover. He never lost conscious.
ness and talked quite a little. He said he
had evidence that Weiss was his wife's para
mour, and he had several times warned them
