Crazed by a New Doctrine.

New ORLEANS. Aug. 1.-THE me-
groes of Marshall county, Mississippi,
are wrought up over strange doctrine
of sacrifice that is being preached by
Charles Summey, assisted by two wo.
men. The three appeared in Marshall
county two weeks ago, and have since
been preaching their peculiar faith.
A number of negroes became convert
ed, aiterward being baptized with an
oil called the oil of gladness. Several
of the negroes so baptized have COM
plained OF severe headache and seem
ed to be insane. They were carried
home. Ga Sunday night, entirely
nude, they danced in front of negro
church. They were arrested, but,
seeming to become sane, were re-
leased and went home. About 2 o'clock
the community was aroused by an
alarm of FIRE. Flames leaped from the
house of David Herald, one of Sum-
mey's converts. Before assistance could
reach the place the house was consum-
ed. The crazed man and his wife
threw their effects into the flames,
even their wagon being pulled into the
fire, and they were making an effort to
drive pair of oxen into the burning
pile when neighbors rescued them.
Herald and his wife begged to be al
lowed to perish in the flames, as they
said God had ordered them to die that
way. They were bound and lodged in
Jail. The negroes insist that these peo-
pie were driven insane by the oil pour
ed on their heads by Summey, who,
they declare, is a Voudoo. and they
point to the fact that several other ne
groes who also received baptism have
gone mad. Afidavits were. made
against Summey and his assistants, but
officers found that the Voudoo preach
er had received warning and had left
tha country

Ady desired to sell. Ady proposed
that he and Williams should drive over
to the farm together, and that Reinfels
should be driven over by friend of
Ady's. After getting beyond Baldwin
station Samuel Ady appeared to be
very much intoxicated and handed the
reins to Williams. who, not knowing
the country and not seeing Reinfels
coming, turned back. When he reach
ed Baldwin station he was met by w.
II. Ady and three other men who
charged him with being q bunco-steer-
er and threatened to hang him. VIM.
H. Ady took him to room in the rear
of saloon and demanded hundred
dollars. Being afraid of his life Will
liams gave to Ady his watch, chain,
locket and $75. While he was detain-
ed in the house the men on the out
side kept crying chang him !" Sub
seouently he was taken to Baltimore,
where the men again demanded money
OF diamond ring which he wore. He
appealed to an officer for protection
and the men left. VIM. H. Ady de-
MES that he robbed Williams, but says

yachts OF Wednesday last, when the
Yampa easily best all her competitors,
but was subsequently disqualified for
having more hands on board than she
carries while cruising. Each yacht to-
day was allowed to carry as many per-
sons as she pleased. The wind came
fresh out OF the west and gave promise
of making good race. AT the start it
was dead beat to windward, on which
point of sailing the Amphitrite made
decided gains as she also did on the
close reach. The Amphitrite's advan-
tage was further slightly increased on
the rest of the course, and the English
boat crossed the line winner by ten
minutes, plus the time allowed her by
the YamDa.

A WASHINGTON newspaper Of ye.-
terday evenings date says "There is
$4,000 gambled in every day in Wash

shops of that city, leaving out of view
the policy, roulette, faro and other card
games there, and the legitimized stock
sales. The malign influence of any
one of the shops referred to upon the
young men of Washington is infinitely
worse than that OF both the race tracks
in Alexandria county combined, and
though that fact is plain to every body
else, something prevents the newspapers
referred TO from seeing it.

TRICKED a BANK TELLER.-The
Chilian correspondent of the Panama
iSta,. and Herald writes as follows:
"Another bank fraud has been COM
mitted in Santiago, this time the victim
being the Banco Commercial de Chile.
A we'll dressed individual entered the
bank and presented to the teller mod
est check for s2S, payable to bearer,
signed by Carlos Correas. The bank
clerk examined the check and certified
the usual "visto bueno,n thereafter
continuing his work, and took no fur
ther notice of the check or its custodian.
Later on in the day the clerk, in max
ing up the balance between what had
been certified and what had
been paid, discovered that there was. q
deficit of S2S 900, less s2s. The bearer
of the check had very smartly added
the three ciphers and also the word
amiln to the original after the teller
had certified it IS being correct, and,
this having been presented to the
cashier, the money was easily obtain
ed. By the steamer from Valparaiso
on August1 it was learned that man
was apprehended at Tslcahuano and
taken to Santiago, where he was identi-
fed as the man who presented the
check for $4,000. His initials are A.
W, and he ia said to belong to one
of the best-known families in Concep-
ton.
