BUZZARD'S PREY,
'easung on Young Lady's Body--A
1rushed Skull Gives Evidence of a
DhslarhlY CrImc


.rushsd Skull Gives Evidence of n
Dastardly Crime.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. l3.--From
henry County, Ala, the far southeastern
sectlon OF the State, comes a story hor-
floly suggestive of damnable double
crime Saturday last Geo, J. Peacock,
a prominent planter, was on his way
from HilliardSville to Eufaula. Whilo
crossing small branch running through
the westerly plantation, and crossing
the road, his attention was called to the
hoVerlng Of buzzards in small bunch
Oh trees up the creek. Making an in
vestlgation he was appalled, to find tho
Dody OF young woman apparently white
or very bright mulatto. The corpse
was decomposed, but displayed
symmetrical set of white teeth. The
hair and scalp had been torn and carried
away by the birds of prey and the eyes
picked out. The features were so mu-
tilated as to render Identification almost
impossible even to those who might
have known her in life. The dress was
dark brown color, with a small yellow
stripe in it, and her underclothes we're
almost new and neatly made, and trim,
med with handmade lace. Her cloth
ing has been preserved, the only
means by which relative might
be able to identity her. Somo ten
steps up the creek and about that dis
lance from the road there were evidence
of struggle OF some sort that had taken
place, and a piece of frcshly-broRen pine
rail was on the ground, with which the
poor girl had doubtless been knocked in
the head, as the back of the skull was
broken In two or three places by heavy
blows. On staying his victim the MUIR
derer had evidently dragged the body to
the creek and thrown it into the water,
when it hoatcd little ways down
and lodged in the thickct Of
brush, where it was found. The
coroners jury returned verdict in
accordance with these facts, No woman
has been missing in the ncighborhood,
and the attending physician said the
woman was never a mother The opinion
is general that the girl did not live in
the neighborhood, and that she may have
been taken from a buggy or wagon in
the road and dragged into the bushes
and there raWshcd and murdered The
find has struck terror to the hearts OF
the citizens of Henry, and all efforts arc
being made to uncarth the mystery.

THE VITAL FLUID.
Physicians Still Manifesting Great In

q Slave to Morphine for Twenty Years
Saved by an Injection Of the Elixir.


LIMA, o., Aug. 12.-Dr. S. S. Herr
mann has made three experiments with
DR.. Brown-Scquard' S elixir, and'is con-
vinced that the half has not been told of
1t. Two of his experiments were sue
cessful, while the other was not. The
first experiment was made last night
from an elixir compounded by himself,
and was on an old lady who has been q
confirmed morphine eater for the past
twenty years. She is about 60 years
of age, and became addicted to the
habit when she was about 40 years
of age 1t grew on her to such an ex-
tent that she has eaten from twenty to
twenty-five grains daily for the past
twelve months, and for the past six
months she has been unable TO attend to
any work. no matter now light, anu has
ate and slept the most of the time on n
lounge. Dir. Hermann injected two
drams of the elixir into her arm, and
there was no pcrceptible change in her
appearance for several hours. When
| bedtime came She retired without
taking her customary dose of NOR
phine, and for the first timo in years
she slept soundly during the night,
and awoke this morning greatly re-
freshed. Sho got up, dressed herself,
walked to the breakfast table and ate .
hearty meal. The elixiy brought the
color back to her cheeks the sparkle to
her eyes and new blood in her veins.
She walked about the house, and for the
lirst time in years busted the furniture
and assisted in the arrangement of the
articles about the house. She has no;
taken particle of morphine to-day, and
says that she has no desire for 1t.

UNDER WATER,
TWO Thousand Houses Submerged
AT Lincoln, Mob,
ana All tho Inmates Compelled to Sock
Higher Ground for Safety.

LINCOLN, Neb,, Aug, 1.-THE biggest
hood that has encompassed this city in
years is on, Salt Creek, which flows
along the west sido of the city, is de-
structive torrent and out of its bank. II
has spread over the low lands west of
the city from half milo to a mile in
width. There are 1000 houses in tho
Hooded district, and the people have
been driven from all of them. The
water has risen until nothing but the
high ground has stopped it, and from
the f street engine house west, it is a
solid lake of water for a mile. At4
o'clock yesterday morning the patrol
wagon was called to duty, and daylight
saw pitiable sight. Women with chill
dren in their~arms were struggling
through the water, and in every house
the household goods were anoat. All
traffic stopped at daylight on the hun
dreds Of tracts through the Burlington
and Union Pacific roads, and at noon
only the main line track westward was
so that traincould move upon it. In one
place aparalytic was found with the water
within six inches Of covering him. and he
lay helpless until help reached him. 1t
was stated by those coming from the food
ed district at noon that u babe was
drowned in house near the creek bank.
Tho babe was the child Of bohemian
family, and it was sitting in a high
chair. The mother in taking the other
children TO place of safety, left it, and
when she returned for it the chair had
fallen over in the water and the laLo
was drowned. At two o'clock the rumor
was very general that three men wcro
drowned. The damage Is enormous.
