A New Ministerial Experience.

One wear ago last December the pastor of a
church in Philadelphia was forced to surrender
his pulpit and, acting on his physician's advice,
with his young wife sought the warmer climate
of Florida. Both were consumptives, and when
it became evident that the young minister
must relinquiSh future that promised so much
he was broken i'll spirit. Together these two
afflicted persons travelled toward the milder
latitudts. 1t seemed a journey to death.
Nothing more pathetic has been seen since
Charles and Mary Lamb set out hand IN hand,
and with fearful eyes, toward the mad house
to which they had self-condemned themselves
The parting from their friends and parshiOn-
ers at the railroad station was affecting i'll the
highest degree Several long weary months
followed in which the hoped-fOr improvement
was awaited. II came not. Both man and
wife gradually grew weaker. The little cot
tage they had taken at jacksonville finally
began TO lack necessary comforts. y small
negro servant had to be discharged because she
could no longer be paid. Then the despairing
young wife took her bed and rapidly grew
worse. One good lady assumed that death was
inevitable and hoped only TO make the end as
painless as possible. In her mission OF kind
ness she encountered a hale old gentleman
who, after he had given her ten dollar note,
added Il will do more; i viii send that IN
fortunate woman my Compound Oxygen. /
always take it with me to cure sudden colds or
throat affections but L know what it can do
even in desperate cases" In a few minutes
he was ready and accompanied the noble
hearted lady to the House Of suffering. Hot
water was readily procurable, and in o brief
time the consumptiye was inhaling the Com
pound Oxygen, evolved from one Of Drs.
Starl5ey 4 Palcns Home Treatments. AT the
end of week notable improvement in the
woman's condition set in. The end Of another
weeks treatment found her seated in a chair
on the porch, apd she was soon able to walk
about. Meanwhile full advice had been re-
ceived from DIR. Starkey as to the Compound
Oxvgen; two Home Treatments had arrived
and the minister began TO give some attention
to his own case. Friends gathered around
them amid the Land Of Oranges, and now they
are both in a degree of health that enables the
pastor to resume his pulpit and his good wife
the care Of her own home.
4 valuable and interesting pamphlet on the
methods Of manufacture and of treatment by
Compound Oxygen is sent free to all who de-
sire it, by Drs. Starkey 81 Palen, 1923 Arch
street, Philadelphia.

A Strange Story.

The Dahlonega Signal is authority for the
statement that there are semi-authentic rl-
mors af1oat that Justice, the Towns county
murderer, who was hanged at Hiwasseo last
November is alive and well, and it is reported
that he has been seen and the only effect the
hanging had upon him was to draw his head
and neck to one side, and caused shortening
of one leg. A Lumpkin county gentleman,
who was present at the hanging, says that lie
noticed heaving motion in the breast OF
Justice after he was cut down and put in the
coffin, and there is a possibility that he was
Immediately taken to his home by relatives,
and with the aid of a physician was resusci-
tated. There are few instances of such
things, and this case may add another TO the
mysteries Of the sherif's rope. The gentle
man said that Justice is certainly alive and
the gallows was cheated OF its victim. If this
should turn out to be corrct, the question
would arise as to whether he could be hanged
again or not.

An Encounter Between Negroes.

desperate encounter occurred last night be-
tween two negroes Orange Lowe and Dan
Jordan, about the Royston plantation, eleven
miles from Albany. woman was the cause
of the trouble
Knives were drawn and Lowe fell, cut in
four places. He died in twenty minutes. The
other who was cut in the arm, treated his dy-
ing antagonist in an unhuman manner, kick
ing him, catching him by the leg and dragging
him along the ground and subjecting him to
other brutalities.
The arrival of the overseer put a stop to the
fuss. A surgeon was summoned, but too late.
The murderer was arrested and jailed this af-
ternoon The murdered man was TO have been

miles south Of III Pas0 by band Of robbers.

engineer and fireman with revolyers, two
others proceeded % the express chr, and the
balance stationed themselves at the doors Of
the two coaches and terrified the passengers so
completely that no effort was made to save the
express agent, who, in defending his car, was
being roughly handled. The robbers were said
to have been Americans and were armed to
