The negroes in the vicinity Of Wavnes-
Vile and Atkinson were greatly excited
Saturday on account OF the supposed lyEch-
ing OF Day, the negro who attempted 20
assault Mss Missouri Baker. The negroes

going to search for Days body. They were

the parties who were connected with the
alleged lynchlng, and these they said they

"A female miracle worker whose color Is
dark. This wOman's name is Sarah Hol-
land She is "A member Of the African
Methodist Episcopal church, claims 10 have
license 10 preach, but is not connected
with any conference. Mrs. Holland does
not profess to materiaiizs spirits, but she
claims that she can describe the dead rea-
tives Of anybody who wishes her TO do So
She charges a small fee for such work.
For removing pains she generally charges
-. When she does this sort Of work she
blndfolds herself and puts her hands on
the part Of the body where the pain is. Sho
always succeeds IN giving relief. Some of
the negroes are firm believers IN the wO-
man. and are ready to do anything she
directs. Others are scotfers and claim that
she is a fraud. During one Of the meetings
the woman offered 60 prove her claims 10
divine recognition by healing any one in
the house VINO was suffering With pain. A
young mulatto woman rose and held up her
hand. Come forward, my sister, aud lei
me heal your pain" said the preacher. The
young woman went TO the front and held
out her hand. "What ailS yOup asked the
preacher. The applicant for miracle-cure
muttered something about "her arm hurt
ing. TIE miracle worker placed her hand
on the smartug limb and then inquired
of her patient where the pain had gone.
"In my wrist replied the young woman.
Sarah applied her hand to the patient's
wrist, and repeated the same question.
Gone way was the answer. Convinced
by this mock miracle, a score of the con-
gregation arose, demanding cures for as
many ills. ~ am not allowed to do mira
cles for nothing, so | will charge 80 cents
each to care pains hereafter. That was
just a sample cure There was a hasty
scuffling for seats, and not a negro re-
manned standing. The woman has not yet
expressed an intention to ascend to heaven.
She probably will do SO in the near future
ANY way, it is daily expected.
