A Dream of Murder Verified.

Quoted In the Pail Mall Gazette.
A farmers wife dreamed that she was Wink

which she was fond, when a raven dashed ut
him, killed him and, tearing ont his heart,
flew away with it. She next imagined that she
was running home and that she met a funeral

ground. The bearers placed it at her feet

dered and his heart torn out She swoke
as might be expected, in great terror But
here follows the most incomprchensible part OF
the narrative: Her husband entertained an
idiot cousin in the house and he in doggerel
rhyme repeated the very same dream 90
gossip, TO whom the farmers wife had related
hers.
That very night the farmer was murdered
and the next morning the poor idiot, TO the
horror of all, exclaimed he rose from his
bed: "Ulick''-Ulick Mcguire was the farmers
name-''is kilt. Shamus dhu More kilt him"

An extraordinary tale of witchcraft and muir
der is brought from Southern India by the last
mail. One Pamben, village headman in tho
Neilgherries, and three others are charged with
the murder of Toda tanned Petbolee, whom
they accused of being a sorcerer able to bewitch
Badagas, the tribe to which they belong. As
told in the Madras Mail their grounds for be-
lieving that Petbolee was practicing vitchcraft
were. first, the death of a girl who was a near
relative OF the headman. in the middle OF last
wear. charge of witchcraft was made against
Petbolee then, but nothing came of IT,
Soon afterward little bow the son of one of
the accused and grandson of another became
dangerously ILL., The illness was attributed TO
the Ealign influence and lamentations of Pet
bolce, and he was told that if the child did not
recover he would have to pay the penalty Pet
bolee protested his innocence of having be-
witched the child and his inability to cure him.
This was on July 20 and the same DAY the child
died. The following day the three accused went
to Petbolee and told him that .he heodman
wished TO see him That evening, il is alleged.
they fell on him and belabored him with clubs.
breaking his jaw, smas hing his teeth and in
ficting severe wounds on his neck. Petbolee
died in consequence.
Then they removed his body to the rood
leading to his village and LEFT it there. II WAS
found next morning by his son, who reported
the matter 10 the headman. The latter srp-
gestcd that the murdered man owed his death
to the Vaccinations of two of the Kurumber
tribe. The son thereupon announced his in
tention OF reporting the matter to the police.
The headman dissuaded him from doing so. al
leging that this was his work and might safely
be left to him. He, however, advised the son
to burn the body Of his father This was &c
cordingly done. but police inquiry took place.
with the result that the accused are to stand
their trial before the sessions judge of Coimba-
tore.
The crime is said TO be unusual because IL
had been committed on Toda, one of a race
held in superstitious awe by the Badaga and
therefore reckoned q counterpoise to the Ku-
rumber sorcerers. The witchcraft murders of
the past were committed on Kurumbers-a
tribe who inhabit the lower slopes Of the Neil
cherries and are said to have an equal right
with the Todas in the soil. Their aid is in
voked in all initial agricultural operations of
the year. Without Kurumbcr's presence no
Badaga landholder will begin the ceremony of
blowing his field or of applying the sickle to
the ripe grain at the harvest. For this serv-
ice the Kurumber receives fee in grain and Is
allowed to remove as large q sheep as he can
bear away on his shoulders. But these friendly
relations are sometimes interrupted The
Kurumber is by repute q sorcerer and Badaga
tradition tells many narrowing tales Of how
his power OF necromancy was used to bring
sorrow to the home Of his benefactors.

WILL IGNORE HIS SILVER VIEWS.
Ex-senator Mcconnell Says That Idaho Can
BE Safely Counted for Harrison.


Correspondence of The Evening Star
Moscow, IDAHO, Sept. II. 1892
Ex-senator W. J. Mcconnell of Idaho. who
was succeeded in the Senate by Senator Fred
I. Dubois, is confident that Idaho will cast her
vote for Harrison. The Senator will stump
the state and will make thorough canvass. In
speaking of the situation in Idaho he said:
Idaho can be safely counted for Harrison in
November for the reason that all parties con-
slider his administration to have been both able
and pure. and while his views on the silver
are not in .armony with that of the majority of
the people of the state. yet he is more nearly
in accord with our interest than is Mr. Cleye-
land.
Under the circumstances, admitting
as every Intelligent citizen must that
o vote cast for Weaver is indirectly
vote for Cleveland, the Idaho people
recognize the fact that their only safety
lies in supporting the republican ticket. The
force bill will play no part in the Idaho cam
paign. The peoples party cannot carry the
state, nor do any considerable number of the
followers of that organization expect to do SO.
1t is possible they may elect some members of
the legislature and some of the local officers,
otherwise their influence will not be felt. be-
Eeve Harrison will carry New York and Indiana
for the reason that the conditions are more
favorable now than in the last election
