A MYSTERY OF THE WAR.
The Murder of an Officer Followed by
q Supernatural Wonder.

supernatural w Onder.
Just after the war Lieut.. Charles MUIR
ply, connected with detachment of fed
eral soldiers, was stationed at Cuthbert.
This lieutenant had brother in Blakely
who was also an officer in the company.
The Blakely officer received orders one day
to dress in citizen clothes and proceed on
foot to Cuthbert, where he would receive
the funds to pay off the company. He made
the trip in safety and started back to
Blakely. On his return he stopped at
house to rest, and there incau iously told
of the money about his person. When he
left the house he was pursued, killed and
robbed by man named Jim Brown. But
now comes the strange part of the story.
The night after the murder the dead mans
brother, while peacefully sleeping in his
tent, was awakened by the violent hutter-
ing of the cloth sides. They made such
noise that he could not sleep, with their
flap, flap, flap. 1t was a perfectly calm,
clear, bright moonlight night, asstill as still
could be. Not sound could be heard
save the noise OF the cloth tent. The
young lieutenant arose and walked outside
At once the noise ceased. 1t must have
been fancy Of the imagination, thought
be- and in he turned. But not to go to sleep.
After attiring himself in his uniform he sat
down on his bunk to think. Something
seemed to weigh upon his mind. An hour
passed and the soldier turned over and fell
asleep. Again he was awakened by the
noise of the cloth tent as though in the
midst OF a violent storm. This time he
went outside again. Standing in the
shadow of large tree was the figure of
man reckoning him that way. He ap-
preached. When ne drew nearer he dis
covered that it was his brother returned.
He told him that he was in Trouble few
miles from town ana he desired him to re-
turn Immediately with him to the spot. The
tone aud gesture were sufficient guarantee
of earnestness, and the two set out at once.
Silently they walked the highway together
They then turned off through fields and
woods until the branch was In sight. Now
slowly they walked down the hill into the
swamp, when 10 and behold the man who
was in trouble suddenly vanished and at the
feet of Lieut.. Charles Murphy lay the
cold, stiff body of his brother. Unable to
comprehend the terrible mystery, weak and
terrified, he returned to town. 1t was
early morning and the first bright rays Of
the morning sun were just GROWING mother
earth with a garhiture of liquid pearls.
The young officer told his experience as
best he could. A party was sent out to
scour the country and ascertain its truth
fulness. Acting upon what had been told,
it was not long before they brought in the
body of the dead yankee, and secured evil
dence which convicted Jim Brown of the
crime. Was it a fitful dream of somnam-
bulist, or did the spirit of the murdered
Murphy appear and lead his brother to the
spot where ne had been murdered!

A PUZZLED CONDUCTOR.
A Monster Ghost Racing Along a Rail
road Track

LdtcrenceUiue Cor. atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.
The following statement will be vouched
for by the parties named and connected with
the most remarkable and strange and mys-
FERROUS occurrence:
Some two weeks ago as Conductor Collins
of the Lawrenceville branch railroad train
was rapidly pulling out from this place to
Suwanee, which was before day at the
darkest period between night and daylight,
while nearing the thick woods about the
Adair place, known as such, he discerned
something or somebody on the track and
between the ties of the road, and which he
took to be a man waving him down. He
noticed it first some one hundred yards off.
On approaching nearer to the object of his
attention, it crossed and recrossed the track,
and on getting closer still, he found that
the volume of the person or thing in
creased enormously. Whatever it was, 1t be-
came larger as he approached it. 1t seemed 10
stretch out arms three or four feet in length.
Mr. c.. A. Bern, fireman, also noticed it,
and he says it became as large as good
sized horse before it left the track. As the
train approached still closer this something,
it turned around and took down the track,
running like wild fire" and was fast dis
tancing the engine when it left the track
and sped its way INTO the woods and stop
ped for the train to pass AS it did SO, Mr..
Collins little boy Walter, the only person
on the train, saw it and became frightened
at its size and movements, aud asked his
father afterward what it was. Mr..
Collins second thought was, as he says,
that it was a COW. But as he was mis-
taken in it not being a man he was in his
idea that it was COW. He does not row
know what it was, nor does Mr. Bern, but
certain it is that something very strange
and mysterious was in front of them and
in the woods when the train passed. twas
not man, nor COW, nor horse, and the
community is puzzled to know what it is
The next morning thereafter Mr.. J. S.
Glover, who works at Coffee's livery stable
and who gets there before day of
each m rning, as he approached the stable
on the hill saw something he took to
be Mr.. Coffee's large bay mule
jump Mr.. Cesleys garden fence six feet
in hight. He ran in that direction to
catch the mule. as he thought, but on get
ting nearer he saw it was not a mule, for it
Immediately turned round and jumped back
over the fence into the alley, and then into
the back lot Of the stable, and was out of
sight. Mr.. Glover says when he first no
ticed it it was standing looking at him, and
he was sure it was Coffee's mule gotten out
of the stable. He declares it was large as
an elephant and jumped like a cat. There
is no doubt about Messrs. Collins and Bern
being trumped, and Mr.. Glover owns up
that he was scared out of his wits when he
saw it was not mule. All these parties
are worthy of belief, and what is stated by
them certainly occurred.
