Killing Negroes for their Blood.

The negroes of this and adjoining
Counties have, for several weeks past,
been in state of abnoral fear and tremb.
ling. They claim that there is white

self sinvisible, and who,theu approaches
some uDsuspecting darkey, and having
rendered him Tor her, as is generally the
case, insehsible by throwing chloroform
in her face, be proceeds to fill up bail
bucket with his victims heart blood, for
the purpose of making medicine. After
having drained the last drop of blood
from the victims heart, the body is
dumped into SOME secret place where it is
impossible for any person to find it.
1t is astonishing how some Of these
ignorant black people believe such things,
butis;a fact that they, the women espe.
.cially, believe itlso firmly that they will
not venture out atnight, or in the daytime
in any sequestered place. They greatly
fear to cross branch or swamp, and will
not dare to go alone.
One old colored woman in speaking on
this subject recently insisted that she be.
.lieved it. She says that she knows the
white man makes castor oil out Of
negroes blood, and that in slavery times
q negro would diebefore he would take
dose Of castor oil.--Manninq Times.

Four Miles A Minute.

NEW YORK, May ia new scheme
OF Transportation is TO be introduced
between New York and Boston, whereby,
ii is said, large packages of mail and
even cars containing passengers can be
whisked from one place to another, a
distance of 200 miles, in less than an
hour. This would bs equal to speed of
four miles per mioute. An experiment
with the new machine was held yesterday
ia Boston in the presence of many scien.
fists, including Professor A. E. Delbear,
oil Tufts college, who announced that he
Was thoroughly satisfied of the success of
tue system.
The inventor, John G. Williams, is q
resident Of this city. His machine con:
siats of magnetic car hanging from 8
single rail, where it follows streak of
electricity. With one horse power it is
said that one ton can be thus transported
distance of /, ,4440 miles day at a cost
OF thirty cents. This, in mail matter,
would represent 2,S8O,0OO letters, and by
this system packages of mail could be
sel,t off every Eve minutes if necessary,
thus preventing large accumulations.
The single track is to be- carried on tri.
pods some distance above the ground,
and the car will pass through coils of in.
suFsted wire at intervals.
In the experiments yesterday the car.
riaee exhibited was mounted on wood
en- track on posts about three feet high,
with an ascent of six inches in fifty feet,
and it ran on one wheel at each end.
Tho scientific principle involved is said
to he that by which 8 hollow coil ofin.
sulated wire will draw magnet into
itself, and in the aerial railway the cal
passing through coil cuts off the cur.
rent, which goes on to one head.

Hot Water.

The application ofhot water to the sur:
face for the relief of pain is an old and
well-tried remedy. The medical profess
sion now universally recognizes its value.
At the commencement ola cold the
mucous membrane of the nostrils often
so swells as to prevent the passage Of
all, through them, and the psfson is com.
PEELED to breathe through his mouth.
The discomfort may be often removed
by holding the feet in quite hot water.
Many severe headache can be relieved
in the same way.
Pains in the bowels may be mitigated
OF removed by applying to them rubber
bags of hot water, G.; folds of wooden
cloths wrung out from water as hot as
can be borne. The same thing is true of
face.aches, ear-achos, and of most aches
and pains.
The principle on which the relief
depends i. known as couuter irritant.
The pains in each case are due to con-
gested state of the blood vessels. That
is, the vessels are unduly distended With
blood, and thus press upon and irritate
the neighboring nerves. The hot water,
by getting up an irritation at a distance,
enlarges the capillaries in that part and
thus turns the blood tbither, relieving
the pressure at the points of pain.
The quantity Of blood diverted, say
from the head toEthe feet, byplunging
the latter in hot water, may be seen in
their exceeding redness, every one of
their million capillaries being attended
and crowded with blood.

Gets anew Trial.

COLUMBUS, May 17.--In a decision by
the supreme Court this morning, in the
case Of William Coins against the State,
it,was held that a game Of "heads / win,
tails you lose," is not good law in mur-
der cases. Coins is one of the parties
concerned in the Allen County election
riots at the spring elections of 1888,
during which,a colored man was MUIR
dered. He was indicted and put on trial
for murder in the first degree. After
the evidence was in and the arguments
made the jury found itdit6cult to agree
on verdict For several days they la
bored without reaching an agreement.
Saturday found the twelve wise men
about equally divided as between con-
viction and acquittal, with an excellent
chance of remaining locked up in the
jury room over Sunday. The jurors did
not relish this ides,, and concluded to
settle their differences by little game
of chance. A copper was clipped" to
decide whether or not the verdict should
bs acquittal or murder in the second de.
gree. Murder in the second degree won
in the game, and a verdict was returned
accordingly, leaving nothing for the
Judge to do but pass a life sentence on
the man who had been convicted by the
tossing OF q copper.
The attorneys for Coins carried the
case to the Supreme Court, the prisoner
in the meantime remaining in the Allen
County Jail. The contest was made
principally upon the conduct of the jury
and the manner in which conclusion
was arrived at. The decision of the Su.
ipreme Court to day reverses the judg-
ment of the lower courts and remauds
The case back tothe Common Pleas Of
Allen County tor further proceedings.
This gives Coins new trial, and the
ground will all have to be gone over
again 10 establish the guilt or innocence
of the man.
