DR.. cronin's Remarkable Prophecy

PHILADELPHIA, May 26. Friends Of
DR.. Cronin made public to-day a curl
Gus statement, drawn up by DR.. Cronin
himself eighteen months ago, and sent out
by him to guide his friends in case be
should suffer from attacks on his char
acter or life. In it he related a series
of incidents tending to prove that Sui
livan, William S:arkey, David Callahan,
c. N. Hardy and a. D. Williston were
engaged in conspiracy TO lnjure him
in some way. Williston is stenographer
in the Office of Windus & Sullivan.
They started a rumor that DR.. Cron!n
had been killed by or on account of q
woman, and when DR.. Cronin ran it
down, he found that it came from a sa-
loon kept by the father of Annie Muir
phy, the woman who misled the police
recently by saying that she had seen Dr..
Cronin on street car on the night he
is now known to nave been murdered.
David Callahan is the New Haven man
who, while Cronin's fate was in doubt,
helped to mystify matters by saying that
be had gone to Europe.
The statement was in the form of an
interview, and covers twelve printed
pages. At the close the reporter, refer
ring to the number of societies to which
Dr.. Cronin belonged, said:
''Your funeral will be largely at
tended"
Yes" responded DR.. CEonifs,, land

''Colonel Haskell has been member

a leader in that body. He is not much
of an orator; but he is clear-headed,

is whipped He is held in as high es-
teen in the House by those who oppose
him as by those who agree with him qE

never resorts to trickery ,ef Sharp tactics
to carry a point. And one always
knows where to find him on all public

Laura Srigdman.

Laura Dewey Bridgman'S death at the
South Boston Asylum. in the 59th year
of her age. which ch-,ss,d 2scnrE,ad las FrilaE,
erds>s'fh0 err.s.z>s g. most remarkable career. When
two wears of age she had an attack OF
scarlet fever, which destroyed her senses
of sight and hearing and greatly i'm
paired those of taste and smell. The
dreadful disease so shattered her phySl-
cal health that it was two years after
the attack before she was able to spend
a whole day ont of bed. At the age Of
eight years DR.. S. G. Howe undertook
her education. She had only the sense
of touch through which to receive
instruction, and had to be taught the
names of objects by means OF raised
letters. By degrees she learned to read
the books printed in raised letters Tor
the blind and to write. In the early
stages Of her instruction the acquisition
of every fresh idea afforded her un-
bounded satisfaction, and her pursuit
of knowledge was indefatigable. She
became so dexterous IN the use of the
sign language that she could convey her
meanings too quickly for the apprehen-
sion of any but experts. Her sense
of touch was marvelously devel-
oped. She learned to sew and make
nearly all her own clothing, as well as
to read and write. Although light and
darkness were the same to her sight, she
could distinguish and would salute any
of her acquaintance while passing them
in the corridors of the institution where
she spent ffty-two years. She enjoyed
life as much as most persons do, al
though she could neither see nor speak
nor hear. The patience and skill which
her benefactor and friend, DR.. Howe.
exercised in training the single sense OF
feeling to such results as We see in this
cultivated, intelligent and happy woman
is one of the miracles of our times. He
began an almost hopeless task, but vas
rewarded from day to day by the devel-
opment of latent intelligence which
fully responded to his greatest expecta-
tions and furnished the example Of a
long life of usefulness and happiness
brought out of the depths of profound
afiiction. DR.. Howe had intended 70
educate ieF Fwithout direct religious III
struction, in the belief that her expert
ence would throw some light on the
question of innate religious ideas, but
before the experiment was completed
some one having temporary charge OF
her in his absence conveyed the ideas of
revealed religion to her mind, and thus
destroyed the expectation of revelation
from her on natural religion.

Shocking Death OF q Deaf Mute.

Register. Wilkes Starke, negro man.
while walking on the track of the c., c..
& A. R. R. this morning, was run over
and Instantly killed. He was both deaf
and dumb. The accident happened
while be was on his way to. the cotton
field. His back was to the train, which
was backing down to the tank for
water. The engineer saw him and gave
the signal of danger, but he paid no
attention to it, and still kept the track.
The engineer. not thinking anything
wrong, did not try to stop the tram
until it was too late to save his life. His
body was dragged about 80 yards.
Both legs were cut off and his head was
crushed in and one shoulder torn away
from the body, which was otherwise
fearfu]ly mangied.

Arrested at the Picnic.

It will be remembered that during the
early part of the last year Miss Florence
Little of Gafney City was charged
with marrying Mr.. Gus Mintz of Blacks
burg, and shortly afterwards again
marrying DR.. Atkinson Of Chester.
This created quite a sensation at
the sime, and neither man regarded
her as his wife. Later on she effected a
reconciliation with DR.. Atkinson, and
has been living with him very happily
at Yorkville. On Tuesday she went to
Blacksburg on the picnic excursion, and
while there she was arrested on a war
rant sworn ont by Mintz charging her
with bigamy She appeared before the
Trial Justice, waived preliminary hear
ing and gave bond in the sum of $500
for her appearance at Court. The war
rant was served on the lady while she
was in the midst of the picnic party,
and We understand that this action
created great deal of indignation.-

a SENSATION IN ANDERSON. n;
Col. Joseph ". Trowbridge, a Prominent
Business Man, Arrested Upon Charge
Of Swinding.

ANDERSON, May 2s.-[special to The
Register The failure of Col. Joseph
". Trowbridge, merchant broker of
this city, is all the talk. He obtained
from Luther P. Smith, agent of the Sa-
vannah Valley Railroad here, the deliv-
cry of four carloads of bacon, which
were shipped order notify, with bills OF
lading attached to drafts through the
bank, BY representing to Smith that it
was all right. 1t now appears that it
was not all right, and Smith and his
bondSmen have to dance to the tune of
$500, the amount due on these drafts
with the bills of lading in bank.
There is great excitement here over
the matter, and the friends Of both par
ties are anxiously awaiting develop
ments. They are simply amazed, for
every one had implicit confidence in
Trowbrldge. There is no charge against
Smith, except negligence in trusting
Trowbridee when in the discharge Of
official duty.
The railroad authorities came up yes
terday and investigated the matter, and
Maj. Ganahl, the attorney of the road,
declares il is Smiths bounden duty to
prosecute Trowbridge for obtaining
these goods by false representations.
Smith is financially ruined. So is
Trowbridge. Smith stands high here,
and people do not attach any blame to
him, except that he was too confding
and deviated from the rules of the road
in favor Of Trowbridge through kind
| ness.
COLONEL TRowBRIDGE ARRESTED.
ANDERSON, May 2S.-[Special to The
Register. "A warrant was issued this
morning by Trial Justice Quattlebaum
for the arrest of J. ". Trowbridge,
based upon the affidavit of Luther P.
Smith, charging Trowbridge with OBJ
tanning goods under false pretenses.
The warrant was served by the Sheriff.
and Mr.. Trowbridge went imme1iarely
before the Trial Justice and gave bond
in the sum of $500 for his appearance
on June 18th next for a preliminary
hearing. His bondsmen are ]. NJ.
Sullivan and ". D. Brown of this city.
1t is currently reported that Mr..
Smith will make an assignment of
every dollars worth of property he
owns in order to iquidate, as far as
possible, the six,y-fve hundred dollar
loss. 1t is thought, however, that The
value of his property will fall con-
siderably below this amount.
This affair has caused great sensa-
ton in our city. No man ever enjoyed
more entirely the confidence of people
than Colonel Trowbridge, and many
still think ne will be able to show the
total absence of premeditated fraud.
The confidence of the people in Mr..
Smith is still unshaken, and on every
hand is heard expressions of regret and
sympathy for him. A petition for his
continuance as agent is already being
circulated, with the names of many OF
the merchants signed to it, and it Is
thought all will sign it.

Snake Rugged the Baby.

WILLS POINT. Texas, May 2S.-A lady
near here was busy about the house
when she heard her infant, whom she
bad left on pallet on the porch. make
a peculiar noise. She hastened to her
babe and was horrifedr to see a long,
poisonous snake loosely coiled about the
child with its head in the baby's lap,
looking straight into the child's face.
The mother with one frantic movement
jerked the infant out of the snakes coil.
The reptile fell and ran under the floor
where it was dispatched by the lady
soon afterward by pouring a kettle of

Buried Treasure,

At Friar's Point, Miss, the people are
strangely excited over newly-discovered
treasure. Two boys who were digging
in the sand along the river unearthed a
number of gold pieces. \ fisherman
examining the money found it consisted
of SEQ pieces. He began digging and
was soon joined by others. Pocket
knives, parasols and fingers were the
tools used, and they yielded a rich re-
turn. The fisherman got about 5000, a
lady passenger secured $500, and others
got smaller sums, the whole amount aS-
gregating several thousand dollars, all
in SEQ gold pieces, bearing dates OF 1853
and 1860 The money was buried early
during the war by somebody unknown.
Several years ago a wealthy planter
spent about $4,000 in excavations on
Montgomery Bar, some distance above
Friar's Point, to find treasure that was
supposed to be buried there. He failed
in his attempt, but managed to furnish
another channel for the river at that
point.
