A Gang of Fifteen Comes to Grief at
Cochran.
HAwKINsvILLE, GA, Aug. 15.-The
Hotel Davies has had many new arrivals in
the last twenty-four hours, and the pro-
prietor expects several more guests in a
short time. Deputy United States Marshal
Avant OF Macon has been down here in
Pulaski county, and as q result Jailer
Davies has almost as many people boarding
with him as he can accommodate.
For some time past the East Tennessee
Virginia and Georgia railway has lost con-
siderable freight between Cochran and
Lumber City. Barrels of whisky, boxes Of
shoes, sides of meat, boxes of tobacco and va
rious other articles of merchandise would
mysteriously disappear. The efforts Of the
local authorities were futile to solve the
mystery. Last Sunday large quantity of
meat was stolen from the cars on the OUT
skirts Of Cochran.
CLEw OBTAINED.
Monday morning the section boss discov-
cred that meat had been thrown on the
right of way near the track and saw the
trail made by a cart. He made his dis
covery known to the agent at Cochran, who
tracked the cart to house some distance
from the scene Of the theft, where most of
the meat was recovered. The agent tele-
graphed an account of the robbery to head
quarters, and the railway, without delay,
sent Deputy Marshal Avant down to Cooh-
ran to work up the case. His work was
swift and sure, and IN a short time he had
his man spotted.
FIFTEEN UNDER ARREST.
Friday morning Sheriff Hunt went over
to Cochran, and last night he and Deputy
Avant brought over five prisoners and
lodged them behind the bars, and to-day
eight more joined them. All of these are

Arrival OF a Girl from ireland With
Green Hair.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
NEW YORK, Jan. "A green girl. with
green hair, leaving green Erin possesses
elements of harmony and Of anolamy, just
according as one looks at It. But many to-
day looked at the curiosity and marveled
greatly. Miss Emily Maud Higgins, from
ireland, bound TO 424 East Thirty-ifth
street, landed at the barge Office to-day
from the steamer Britannia, and in ten
minutes made reputation as one Of the
most beautiful women that ever passed
through that Office.
Maud Is 81 years old, and was born amid
the green fields and blue lakes of Killarney
The tints of Killarneys lakes are in her eyes
and the bright coloFs OF the emerald shine
in her hair, for Miss Maud has what may be
actually and properly called green hair, the
possession of which is supposed to insure
the owner health, beauty and wealth
When st. Patrick drove the reptiles out of
Ireland he is said TO have seen, sitting on a
moss-covered rock, a maiden whose hair had
the color of the sea, and who wore around
her neck green serpent. This serpent was
the only one not amenaole TO st. PATRICK
authority, and for that reason the green
haired girl of Ireland is above her sisters,
and fated for all that is good and beautiful
in this life.
Miss Higgins boarded the Britannia at
Liverpool, and when she took her place in
the Storage her right to govern was dis
puted by none of her fellow country people,
and the girls and women who knew the old
legend of the maid of the sea were content
to fetch and carry for this regal looking
creature, and during the trip Miss Higgins
was surrounded by the women folk, who
thought that to remain near the green
haired girl was to insure their own safety
and good fortune When Miss Higgins
hair is called green it must be understood it
is not bright, vivid green, but sheeny
emerald tint, such as the sea takes on under
the shadow OF overhanging cliffs, where the
color comes up from the depths.
One of the fiIs men in the barge Office to
notice Miss Maud's hair was Fitzsimmons,
the agent of the Irish Immigrant Society,
and when he saw it, without further hesita-
ton he dofft his hat and became anxious
to do her bidding. As the arrival of the
green-haired gIrl became noised around
quite a crowd gathered to SEQ her pass
through the registry department. In hight
the young woman stands five feet five or
six inches, and she has a magnificent figure.
Her features are exquisite in coloring and
regular in shape, and her voice is exceed
ingly low and sweet, and she talks in the
soft but retiued brogue of a well-bred Irish
girl
AS she passed along, the hum of admira-
ton was emphasized, and one of the Irish
| immigrant women held up her baby that
the child might touch the green hair and be
successful in life. The girl is going to her
cousin, James Walsh of this city, and will
probably in her little circle create as great
sensation as she did to-day among the
government employees at the barge Office.

eagle, and also causing the Boughton to part

Capt. Lohmau of the German ship Dora,
which sailed from Savannah Friday, loaded
with cotton, for Bremen, was hidden fare
well by his many friends here with regret.
Eight years ago Capt. Lehman came into
Savannah with the bark Betty. He spent
some time here. made many friends and be-
came a member OF Teutonia Lodge No. z,
K. of p. After leaving Savannah the bark
Betty was shipwrecked. news of which
reathed Savannah with the report that
Capt. Lehman and his crew had found a
watery grave. This was not the case, how
ever, and Capt. Lohman survived to take
command of another vessel. which had the
misfortune to be shlpwrecked also. Two or
three years after the last shipwreck Capt.
Lehman was given command of the large.
full-rigged ship Dora, and in course Of time
came Go Savannah. His appearance was
like one coming from the dead to
his friends here, who had supposed
him dead for a number of years. He was
given joyful welcome. and made to feel
that his memory had lived in the minds OF
his friends, though they had supposed him
dead. Nov %. Capt Lohman's birth
day, he was given hearty ovation aboard
ship. On the night before his departure
many OF his friends called upon him at the
ship TO say good-by. Early Friday morn
& Adolph Goss came on board with the
Bavarisn band, and the ship made her trip
down the river TO the strains OF music. Mr..
Goss and the band returned by the tug boat.
T. Q Dora is the only fuil-rigged ship that
has come into Savannah this season.

with all his faults, the python is a gentle
man, and in his younger and smaller days

constitution and liability to diseases Of the

MR.. MAoQUEARY AT home.
He Will Devote Himself to Literary
Work and Will Not Lecture.
IL. ".

FROM the INet0 OTk 1TeSS
CANTON, o., Jan. 11.-Rev. Howard Mac
Queary, the Episcopal minister whose trial
for heresy had just ended at Cleveland, has
returned to this city and is awaiting the
verdict Of the ecclesiastical court which
heard the case. To the Press correspondent
Mr.. McQueary expressed himself as satisfied
with the status of the case, and signided his
willingness to submit to the verdict, inso-
much as he would retire from the ministry
of the Episcopal church. But he will not
give up his convictions, no matter what the
verdict, and 1t is more than likely that he
will fad an avenue for his views through
the pulpit of the Unitarian church.
He is receiving the compliments of his
friends on the splendid defense he made
before the court, but the prevalent opinion
is that his conviction is probable, as the
question at stake was not as to the sound
ness of his views, but whether they were in
harmony with the established doctrine of
the Protestant Episcopal church of the
United States. Mr. MacQueary will re-
main in Canton for some time, but such is
the division in st. Paul's church that It is
hardly probable that he will remain its
rector. He will devote himself to literary
work for the time being. He will not take
to the lecture field.

GREEN HAIR AND WHISPERS.
The Transformation Worked by Ger

me Transformation worked by Ger
tain Ores on Nevada Miners.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The patrons of downtown hotel, much
frequented by farmers and miners, were
considerably startled one afternoon re-
Gently, when tall individual with bright
green hair whiskers and eyebrows walked
up to the desk and calmly registered as
Charles w. Long, from Ward, New.
The clerk, used to almost any kind Of
strange visitors, stopped short in the middle
of sentence intended as an answer to an
inquiring guest who wanted to know when
the o'clock train for the north would
leave, and with puzzled look eyed the
verdant arrival. The loungers around the
lobby were attracted one by one, and gazed
with wonderment at the green-haired
stranger, who. unconscious of the sensation
he created, quietly asked to be shown to a
room. A reporter ventured shortly after
ward to interview Mr.. Long, determined to
find out what business such Queer~colored
hirsutic appendage had outside dime mu-
scum. and received the following explana-
ton from the emerald-hued individuals
own lips:
II have for some time been working in
the Martin White mine at Ward, New, and
what appears strange to you is common
sight where l came from. we have lots OF
green-haired people there. Every shade of
green, from the darkest bottle color to the
brightest grass green, is represented in the
mems hair at that mine. The reason for it
is connected with the ore. The latter is
base, and 1t is necessary to roast the whole
Of it. During the roasting process no dis
agreeable fumes are observable. yet the
hair, the boards and the eyebrows Of all the
men engaged about the works are soon dyed
bright and permanent green.
I'm scores of Nevada mines ores of va
rious kinds are smelted and roasted, but at
none of them is either the hair or beard of
the workmen changed from its natural hue
sit is said there is less arsenic in the ore
of the Martin White than in that of many
other mines. Old smelters say that arsenic
has no such effect on the hair, and all de-
clare that the green color impaired to it Is
! due to the presence of some unknown and
mysterilu metal or mineral.
"White, light or sandy beard and hair
take q grass green. whereas black or dark
brown hair is dyed a deep bottle green.
The hair is not injured by the color, and
retains its original strength and stiffness"
This is the manner in which Mr.. Long
explained his extraordinary appearance
He will remain here for some time. and
even If he escapes the ever vigilant agents
for dime museums and is not hired as a
freak for one OF those establishments, he
will certainly create a sensation on the
public streets every time he ventures out
for walk.

MAsoNs TO SAVE A coMaADE.
Three Hundred Men Volunteer for q
Grating Operation.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-An arrangement is
now being made by which about 100 Masons
will suffer some torture, and no little incon-
vience for the benefit of an unfortunate
comrade. Among the members OF the st.
Bernard Commandery. knights Templar,
of this city, is one John Oscar Dicker son, a
man Of middle age, who has been connected
with the orde. for many years, and who
has at different times held nigh positions in
the commandery.
About eighteen months ago a cancer
Gus growth made its appearance on his
right thigh and hip. 1t trouplad him
great deal, and in a short time it became 50
painful that an operation was considered
necessary. The operation required that a
portion of the skin and flesh should be cut
away from tie cancer, so much, in fact as
to render it impossible for the exposed edges
of the skin to unite and form complete
surface covering by natural growth. Sew
ersl attempts were made to graft pieces of
goatskin upon the exposed flesh, but all
proved futile, aud the physicians gave up
hoping for his recovery.
HIS COMRADES VOLUNTEERED.
Several days ago the members of ST. Ber-
nard Commandery sent a delegation to the
attending physician to see it something
could not be done TO save the poor mans
life The doctor hesitated little, but finally
told them that IL the wound could be COW
cred with human skin there would be no
doubt of a complete cure. The members of
the commandery glanced at one another in
stinctively as il to read IN one another's
faces the impulses of the moment.
Finally without further consideration
they turned to the doctor and told him that
| whenever he ordered it nen would be
ready to give up to his knife all the skin
required to make whole their sick COM
rade. They then left and special meet
ing of the commandery was called at which
the case was stated and few volunteers
asked for. The whole commandery, COM
posed of almost three hundred members,
rose to man and offered to grant the
necessary cuticle. The physician said 300
men would be too many and 100 men were
selected.
CONDITIONS OF THE OPERATION.
The operation is to take place one week
from Sunday at the Emergency hospital
| where scene will be witnessed the like of
which has never yet been recorded in his
tory.
Before appearing at the hospital on the
| day fixed the men selected must undergo
certain conditions and preparations. They
| must that morning take thorough bath,
so that their skin may DO fresh and pure.
They must also have abStained from ardent
spirits for forty-eight hours previous to
presenting themselves for the operation.
Each, too, must bring razor with him,
thoroughly sharpeped and free from stain
or blemish. These razors will be used only
upon those to whom they belong.
