MONEY BLOWN AWAY.
How a Church Treasurer Accounts for
His Loss of 500 Collection.

Jake Thompson, a colored Baptist Of some
prominence of Bedford county, Va, was re-
Gently made treasure holder" for a congrega-
ton of Baptists who took collection for
building new house Of worship. The amount
realized was about $500, and Thompson carried
it home with him. On the way he claims to
have got soaking wet from the rain, and that
the 500 in greenbacks was likewise soaked.
When called upon to return the money he re-
ported as above, and further alleges that when
he got home he spread the money on plank in
the sunshine to dry and went about other
affairs, and that on his return he found that a
storm of wind had blown the last dollar of the
money away. Nothing has been seen Of the
treasure since, although diligent search has
been made in the regions round Thompson's
home. Some OF the brethren think that
Thompson's story is very thin, but they do not
know what course in law to pursue to regain
the money. Thompson has just bought little
farm and built house ON it.

Mutinous Soldiers.

Cry OF MEXICO. Nov. IA serious
mutiny occurred among an escort on an
up train from Vera Cruz Tuesday even
ing. A corporal and four privates at
tackled their superior officers. severely
wounding a lieutenant and killing a SER
geant. The object of the m~utineers, who
were forced recruits, seems to have been
to stop the train aud escape. When the
train was almost due at Soltepec the mu-
tineers climbed on the engine with a view
to forcing the engineer to halt. The en-
gineer and fireman were heavily armed
and seeing hat they would probably fail,
five of the ring leaders Jumped from the
train, one being cut in two and the other
four more or less injured. They escaped.
On the arrival of the train at S%oltepec a
detachment of rural guards surrounded
the car and disarmed the remaining mutt
neers. Two were taken to the City of
Mexico. 1t is understood that the men
who escaped have since been captured and
brought to this city. 1t is probable hat
the whole party will be shot.

Double Attempt at Suicide.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. IA dramatic and
sensational attempt at suicide was made
by a man and wife in Jacksonville, Ind. +,
last evening. The unhappy couple were
Mr.. and Mrs. George Haddox, who live
at that town. A few days ago Mrs. Had
dox while at the residence of Capt. Harry
Drosta, told Mrs. Drosta that she intend
ed to take her life. The sole cause, she
said. of her resolution was the course of
her husband, who. she said, was a con-
firmed gambler. How much in earnest
she was Mrs. Haddox demonstrated fully.
She came to this city Yesterday morning
and purchased some poison, and immedi-
ately returned to her home. Her hus-
band was in the room, and she informed
him of her intention. Then standing be-
fore the mirror. without any effort OF in
reference from her husband, the wife
swallowed the deadly drug.
But her husband, with all his seeming
also equally prepared. BE produced a
dose of a similar fatal nature, but he took
whisky in his. He poured out two
thirds of a glass, sifted the powder into
the whisky, and gulping it down threw
himself on the bed to await the result.
The wife weakened and told a neighbor,
Miss Efie Rodgers, of their awful act.
The husband began to writhe in agony,
but the drug had a different effect on the
wife, and she became sick and began to
vomit. Miss Rodgers summoned DIR.
Charles Hancock, who administered anti
dotes with such success that the couple
are thought to be out OF danger.

Taken Unawares.

unsupported causes for malaria exist
everywhere. A sunken lot partly filed
with water in the vicinity of your abode, a
new location upon land filled in. but for
merly overlooked or marshy, and causes
far more occult than these produce the
atmospheric miasmata which constitute
the germs that, if inhaled. ripen into fe-
yer and ague and congenital maladies. A
person taken unawares with a malarial
complaint should, as soon as it declares 1t
self, seek aid from the safe, non dap
pointing, cordial medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which has for over a
third of a century, and in every quarter of
the globe, relieved the malaria stricken,
and neutralized miasma in air and water.
The Bitters imparts activity to the stom-
ach, bowels and liver. repels incipient
rheumatism, and remedies i~naction of the
kidneys and bladder. Appetite and sleep
are improved, and the infirmities of age
mitigated by its use.

DR.. J. Milton Bowers at Law.

SAN Francesca. Nov. l.-Dr. }. Mil
ton Bowers, the hero of one of 'Frisco's
most sensational mysteries of crime, has
began suit for SIl 900 insurance on the
life of his wife, for the alleged poisoning
OF whom he was sentenced to death three
years ago. Bower second wife died in
Chicago under suspicious circumstances,
and to avoid inquiry he left there without
attempting to collect the insurance on her
life. When all the facts in the case were
brought out and experts testified to the
presence of phosphorus in his wife's
stomach, he was convicted and sentenced
to hang. While an appeal was before
the supreme court, his brother-in law,
Benhayon, committed suicide and left a
confession saying he poisoned his sister.
The authorities tried to show that Bow
ers had planned the conspiracy to poison
Benhayon and force his confession, but
the effort failed. Then there was nothing
to do except to release Bowers after he
had been in Jail for four years and under
the gallows' shadow about eighteen
months. The insurance on his wife's lire
was originally SIT, 900, but two beneficiary
companies have collapsed since her death.

An EiephAnt fsemeu1Ders n FRIEND.
An elephant attached to WomweIIs
menagerie was treated in Gloucestershire
by a druggist for internal spasm. The
animal recovered and duly departed from
the town. This was in 1870. But ir
1879, when the druggist stood at his shop
door to watch the m~enagerie again enter
the town, the elephant crossed the street,
advanced to the man of drugs, placed
her trunk in his hand and grunted agree
ably to show her remembrance of past
kindness. At night, in visiting the men
agerfe, the elephant drew the druggists
attention to her side, to which a blister
had been applied nine years before. In
1881 the elephant again entered the town.
Recognizing her chemist friend in the
audience she lifted him gently off his
feet by means of her trunk and drew
his attention to one of her forelegs. The
keeper explained that the limb had been
lanced by a veterinary surgeon, and that
apparently she was comparing notes of
the difference between the gentler blister
of her friend and the procedure of the
surgeon. 1t is not often that services
are so long and gratefully remembered
either by quadrupeds or by 'the paragoa
of animals himself.-St. Louis Globe
