MENTAL TELEGRAPHY.
The Phenomenal Foreboding of the Ar

The Phenomenal Foreboding of the Ar
rival of Person or y Letter.
To-day one would better hesitate to call
person ''superstitious" simply because he
is rather inclined to believe there may
be something in thought transference.
The fact is that everybody one
meets seems to have an experience to
relate bearing upon the subject.
The other evening at a family dinner
table anecdotes of the war went around.
One brother said: "The funniest thing
heard during the four years was in my first
battle. 1 don't know when 1 thought of it
before. A man near me was overcome by
pure nervousness and broke out into loud
weeping. His brother stood by him NOR
titled and ashamed. stop that, he said,
shaking him. You coward! Anybody would
think you were babyp
"'Oh, I wish L was a baby, blubbered the
miserable ore in solemn earnest, and girl
baby at thatp"
The next morning at breakfast the mar
rator of this anecdote said: "Whom do you
think I saw last night? The man who wanted
to be a girl babyp haven't seen or heard
of him since the war. He lives IN the West
and was here for the first time in 20 years.
Doesn't it seem as though his vicinity put
that old story into my mind?"
Most of us are familiar with the pschical
phenomenon of the arrival of letter from
a person of whom we have been suddenly
set thinking, or of his ring at the door, thus
announced.

THE CONFEDERATE TREASURY.
Lincoln's Brother-in-Law Tells How the
Last $4,000 Was Divided.


Last $4,000 Was Divided.
Atlanta Constitution.l
DR.. G. R. G. Todd, of Barnwell, S. c., q
distinguished surgeon of the Confederate
army and brothef-in-law of Abraham Lin
coin, describes the division of the last
money of the Confederate army, matter
which was much discussed in the news
papers a few years ago.
'I had been with the soldiers coming
down, and heard the Kentucky and vir-
ginia troops saying they were going to have
some of the money or have blood. I told
Breckenridge, who was the Secretary of
War, what L had heard, and expressed the
opinion that there might be rioting and
bioodshed.
There may be rioting," said he, but no
bIoodshed.' then suggested to him the
propriety of division of the money among
the soldiers, and he replied: we will see
about it. In the party were the Confeder-
ate Cabinet and the officers of the four bri-
gades of troops which were with us when
we crossed the Savannah river. We had
the last money of the Confederate treasury
$40, 900 in gold and silver, besides some
gold belonging to the Bank of Richmond.
The money was in charge of Colonel Nor
gan, Dr0ther OF the famous JOhn Morgan.
We crossed the Savannah river on pontoons
and went on the road toward Washington,
Ga. When we had gone two miles from the
river we stopped at a log cabin on the south
side of the road, and there the $40, 900 was
paid out. Mr.. Davis had gone on about
four miles ahead of US with his staff
"The division was made by caucus of
the men. Those present were Vaughn's.
De BrelPs, Basil Dukes and Humphrey
Marshalls brigades. Some of the brigades
returned fictitious names in order to get
more money. The division was SIG 25 for
each man, officers and common soldiers
faring alike. Divide $4,000 by 26I and
you will see how many (2,666 men) were
returned by the census of the four brigades.
In the paying out we finally came to keg
of silver ingots-pieces by 4 inches
square. They opened box of gold belong
ing to the Bank of Richmond. They made
rough estimate of the value of that gold
and OF the keg of silver and exchanged
them. In that way 1 got some gold. Then
they carried the Bank of Richmond money
to the bank at Washington, Ga, and de-
posted it. They took none of it except a
little box, for which they substituted the
keg of silver ingots. While the money was
being divided Colonel Morgan paid man
S. an hour to guard it. When we got
through Morgan took the remaining money
and drove it away in the dark. Thence it
landed in the bank at Washington, Ga. !"

MANNED OF A DAY.

Three Boys Narrowly Escape Watery
Grave-Several Rapid Transit Accidents
Reported-Minor Injuries in tho Various
Manufactures Attended To.
There was a rather startling accident in
the Monongahela river at the foot of South
Tenth street last night about 10 o'clock
which might have resulted in the death OF
three boys. Willie Lane, Frank Brown
and Harry Bowers, all lads about ~ to 10
years of age, we're in skiff They had
been up the river and were rowing home
ward when they met the towboat Horner.
The boys did not see the boat until it was
almost on top of them. They started to
pull toward the shore, but before they
could get away the boat had struck their
skiff and turned it over, throwing the lads
into the river. They could all swim, to
which fact alone is due their rescue. They
were run down under the boat and one of
them, who could not swim so skillfully as
the others, had hard struggle with the
waves in the wake of the boat He
managed to keep on top of the water, how
ever, until assistance arrived. All three
boys were rescued by the collectors at the
South Tenth street bridge and Lieutenant

FAMINE is AVERTED.

Supplies Arrive In Large Quantities and the
Hungry Citizens Are Fed-Rsstaurants
and Eating Houscs Accommodate Every
body That Applies-Green Grocers Open
Up Again.
OIL CITY, June 8.-[Special. ]-Green
grocer stores have been opened up in vari-
Gus parts of the city, and the famine that
yesterday blankly stared the poorest people
in the face has been averted. Every incom-
ing train brought provisions of all kinds
from the city, and rushing business has
been done. c. NJ. ellison, who conducts q
small store across the creek from the burned
out district, says that the demand to-day
for fruits, berries and spring garden pro-
of noon and o'clock he sold over 500 boxes
of strawberries, and other green stu& in
proportion. Every home-going man, woman
and child bore package, larger or smaller,
roughly done up in the brown paper pecu-
liar to provision stores.
The restaurants were better prepared to
care for their patrons and the visitors than
upon yesterday, and this welcome state of
affairs was appreciated by all. To give
some idea of the really famished condition
MANY of the people were in, it is but neces-
sary to state that upward of 1,20O people
were waited upon between 6 o'clock this
morning and noon in restaurant where the
daily average of patrons barely numbers so.
The dining rooms at the city hotels were
crowded at breakfast and dinner with citi-
zens as well as transients and the boarding
houses were especially we'll patronized.
The worst is over now and the people have
returned to their family meals, but for a
while things looked exceedingly blue.

TITUSVILLE WAS SAVED.

How the Dam at Canadohta Lake Was Pro.

Work of Hotel Man.
TITUSvILLE, June 81 SDecia,. Had it
not been for the heroic efforts of c. j. An
drews, proprietor of the Hotel Brunswick
and the summer resort at Canadohta Lake,
Titusville would not be standing He was
at the lake with an excursion party. At
the lower end the lake is held in by 1SO-
foot dam, very much the same as that at
Spartansburg 1t also had fish screens
The last message received at the hotel
was that the dam at Riceville, below, had
given away. Next came the news that the
one at Spartansburg had burst By this
time the debris was closing up the first net
1t was only by, the hardest kind of work
that the water vein was kept open. Every
thing that could be made up into bags was
sewed up, and hay, straw and dirt were used
to fill up the breaks in the dry part of the
dam.
AS Mr.. Andrews says, had he not worked
as he did all the water from the lake,
which is three-quarters of mile wide and
IL miles long, would have been turned
loose with the other food. 1t it had, Titus
vile would not be here. 'fWe held it until
$50 this morning." said he. "It went with a
boom, and wave of water 10 feet high went
rolling down that river. 1t ruined bridge,
and the bridge went down instantly. 1t
was too late for it to do much damage, and
the water passed off without any iu-ther
injury"

A NEURALGIA EPIDEMIC.

More Victims OF the Painful Ailment Than
for Many Years-Diphtheriaa and scsrla-
tina Cases Also Numerous-DamP
Weather the Cause.
For the past ten days there has been an
epidemic in this city, particularly in the
East Liberty Valley, of neuralgia of the
most e1cruciatingly painful degree. While
not dangerous disease in any sense, its
victims suffer untold agony, and in the
epidemical wave which seems to have swept
over the city, the ordinary remedies which
usually subdue the pain; apparently have
no effect, and the suffering continues with
little or no abatement from day to day.
The Drs McClelland, of the East End,
say that never in their large experience
have they seen so many cases and such
stubborn ones as they have just now, and
other prominent physicians have the same
experience. The damp weather and the
many recent electrical storms are charged
with being the cause of the trouble. 1t
seems that every person who has ever had
touch of neuralgia is suffering from it now
in ten-fold degree, and many who never
before experienced it are being initiated
with q vengeance.
One of the worst features of the disease is
that the pain prevents Its victims from
sleeping, and in many cases from eating
more than barely enough to sustain life.
Several cases are quoted where patients
have been afflicted from eight to ten days,
and have not slept more than two or three
hours a day or eaten square meal in that
time. The majority of those under medical
treatment are women, but several business
men about town are known to have been
laid up several days with the painful afiic-
tion. The physicians have no hope of
effecting cure while the weather continues
as it has been for two weeks, and there is
little consolation to be offered to the suffer-
ers.
The weather is also credited with causing
a large increase in the number of diphtheria
and scarlatina cases recently. Every day
for two weeks there has been reported to
the Bureau of Health several new cases of
each disease, and they are not confined to
any particular section of the city, all parts
being included in the reports. Five new
cases OF scarlatina and two of diphtheria
were returned yesterday.

PAINTING THE TOWN RED.
Story Of the Origin of This Famous and
Festive Phrase.


Festive Phrase.
San Francisco CALI
Hugh Slicer, of the old banking firm,
Greathouse g. Slicer, told me that the
laconic term, "Painting the town red, -
grew out of little argument between
Jakey Williams and miner named Rogers,
which took place on a snowbank before the
door of the Fashion saloon in the spring of
1855
Certainly the town was painted red, and
remained till the late spring carried away
the bloody snow. If ever brothers blood
"called from the grave" the blood of that
poor miner did. But he should have left
the withered Mexican woman alone and
stuck to his claim ten miles away. And SO
the miners did nothing.
Rogers fell victim to what the boys used
loosely to call the "fatal five-shooter."
There was but one weapon in all the Sier-
ras as tatal-to the man who used it-as
the fve-shooter, and that other was the
Rogers and Redheaded Williams began in
the Fashion. Williams followed up with a
knife, and Rogers firing his little FIVE
shooter as he retreated into the street.
and up the snowbank. Here he fell
dead, cut all to pieces, but not until he had
landed every bullet in his enemy's breast.
Williams got well, and was, of course, q
"hero." He had killed his man in hand
to-hand fight, and was drunk with
his importance. He did not long keep
quiet But his record is low, cruel
one. He was in at the death of the
famous Cherokee Bob and his friends in
Florence, Idaho, in 1862, and was finally
knitted to the heart by Mexican while
United States Marshal of Idaho. But the
blood and the snow in Yreka! 1t spread
and spread. They poured hot water on it
from the saloon, but that only made it
spread the more. The snow at length fell
50 deep that the open street became impassi-
BILE. and men kept along the sidewalks But
the blood came right up through it and
spread and spread and spread, till, as Hugh
Slicer said, it painted the town red."
