A VslT FROM THE DEVIL.
How His Satanic Majesty Once Made Hia
Appearance In Hungay.


A rare pamphlet in the library of the
editor of department OF The Repub-
lie bears the following quaint title: "A
Strange and Terrible Wunder Rought
Verie Lately In the Parish Church of
Bungay--namely, on tho fourth Of thys
August in the Yeere Of our Lorde 1911"
The story. stripped of the quaint Ian
guage in which it is couched, and brief
~ told, is as follows: A storm of ex.
traordinary fury ragged during divine
services in the church alluded to; rain
fell in torrents, and the lightning fash
ed "blue, red, green and in mixture
of indescribable colors," while the
thunder peals mot only disquieted men
and dumb creatures, but senseless things
devoid of all life and feeling trembled
and shook with terror"
While the tempest was at its height,
fiend from the lower regions appeared
in the midst Of the terror stricken con-
gregation. The account s:sys: 1T was
in form, as we'll as could Se discerned.
Of an enormous dog, of black color, the
sight whereof, together with the fearful
flashes of fire which then were seen,
moved many minds to the belief that
the end of time had come, and that
doomsday was upon us. The evil one,
for he it was in such strange likeness,
ran with extraordinary speed into that
portion of the church where the major.
ity of the congregation was seated. In
doing SD it passed between two persons
who were upon their knees in the atti
tude Of prayer, grasped and wrung the
necks of both in an instant, SO that they
died presently as they knelt. As he pass
ed by another he gave him such griI
on the back that he was drawn together
and instantly shrunken up like piece
Of leather scorched in hot fire."
Leaving the church at Bungay, tht
devil is said to have flown with ,

church at Blibery, seven miles away
He was seen to alight upon the roof ant
to instantly pass through it, dropping

who were all instantly killed, "beyin:

Depew's Chicsgo Story.

Chauncey NJ. Depew has story
which he won't tell when he goes to
Chicago. Here it is:
There was once prominent man in
Chicago, who, like all others out there,
had very exalted opinion of his town.
He died, and when ne reached his eter-
nal home he looked about him with
much surprise and said to the attend
ant who had opened the gate for him:

THE PRESIDENTS PROTECTORS.
fhe Armed Guard Which Keeps watch
For Cranks About tho White House.

fhe Armed Guard Which Keeps watch
For Cranks About the White House.
No president in the history Of this
country has been SO careful in having
himself guarded as Mr.. Cleveland.
It started with tho Coxey craze. Be-
fore the commonwealefs began their
march toward Washington but six po.
licemen Of the metropolitan force were
detailed to do duty In the White House
grounds Besides these were the regu-
lar corps of White House watchmen and
doorkeepers. But when the common
wealers camo Marshal Wilson asked
Major Moore, chief of the Washington
police, to detail IL more Of his men for
White House duty. Since that time the
entire force Of 1S policemen, besides the
regular watchmen and secret service
men, guard over the White House and
its occupants
Three sentry boxes, with lookout win
dows, have been erected in front and on
either side of the building In these
armed guards do duty day and night,
while others patrol the grounds. In the
daytime ample guards are about the
house and grounds watching for cranks
or others who may enter with malicious
designs.
Whether the president personally OF
his friends insist upon this personal
guard is not known. Certain it is, how.
ever, that no information can be got
from any of them. They as carefully
expel the camera fiends from the grounds
as they do crank and have SO far pre-
vented a snap shot at even sentry box
When the president drives, he is fol
lowed by we'll armed secret service
man, who trails along short distance
behind the executive carriage in bug
gy driven by companion. Severa
times he went on horseback, but tn,
buggy idea has been found to attrao
least attention and to be more prefera

THE SCRANTON rRIBuNE-wEDNEsDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 81. 1895.

It is not a highly probable story that
Mr.. Carleton tells but It has much to
recommend II the way of dramatic in
terest and what Is more to the point
It furnishes Mr.. Goodwin with an ex-
cellent vehicle for the display Of his
ability as an actor. That he has abil-
ity Of no ordinary character no n
win seriously dispute. As Senator
Obadiah Beck. Mr.. Goodwin has q
character that gives him an opportun-
ity to display his great versatility. 1t
has depth, subtlety, strength and hui
NOR. and all Of the many phases of It
were admirably portrayed by Mr..
Goodwin, II his occasional lapses into
q man Of pronounced mannerisms
which dominate any character he es-
says. These can possibly be pardoned
since many Of the most conspicuous
figures in the mimetic world are sim
ilarly afflicted, but his descent to the
methods necessary to amuse early in
his stage career in less ~pretentious
plays are not SO lightly to be over
looked. They were out OF keeping with
the character of Senator Obadiah Beck,
and in fact the only discordant bits of
colors In an otherwise excellent mosaic.
That Ambition" is destined to prove
one OF the most popular plays Mr.
Goodwin has yet been seen In seems
certain, for as interpreted by himself
and company 1t is q most interesting
and entertaining stage production.
He Is supported by such finished act
ors as George Fawcett, j. G. Saville,
Henry Bergman. Arthur Hoops, Miss
Ethel Browning and Miss Annie Rus
sell. Mr.. Fawcett and Miss Russell
were particularly conspicuous by rea-
son of their clever work. The play was
well staged and the audience, not as
large by the way, al 1t should have
been, was delighted with the perform
ance. At the conclusion Of the second
act Mr.. Goodwin received a perfect
ovation, and the curtain had to be
raised several times.

MRS. ROBBINS CONDITION.

lIovcrs Between Life and Death ut tho
Lackawanna llospitai-Lctter Given to
Corouer-In 1t Robbins Accuses Neigh.
Dor Brown Of Being the Cause of Their
Troubles.
Mrs. Zera Robbins still lies in a pre-
carious condition at the Lackawanna
hospital. At midnight the hospital au-
thorities reported that her condition
was unchanged. The danger lies In the
probability of Inflammation of the brain
setting in. Efforts were made to ex-
tract the bullet. but the probe failed to
locate it. The superstition Is that the
bullet is imbedded in the skull.
The husbands body still les at the
house in Throop in which the tragedy
occurred. A telegram was sent to his
relatives in Cherry Ridge. but no re-
Spouse to 1t was received up to last
night. If his friends do not come to-
vim Shaffer, to ship the body to Cherry
Ridge.
The greatest indignation Is expressed
on all sides among the people. of Throop
against the man Brown. whom they
blame to a great extent for the terrible
tragedy which has scandalized their
peaceful hamlet.
Inquest Conducted by Coroner.
The inquest conducted by Coroner
Kelley yesterday morning brought forth
nothing but what was contained In The
Tribune's account yesterday morning.
He empannelled a jury consisting of
DR.. J.. II. Murphy, Joseph Fabringer,
John Grimes, John Fitzsimmons, c. ].
Watkins and c. L. Davies and pro-
ceeded to hear testimony in the town
hall, at II. 80 o'clock.
Alvin Shaffer. uncle of the deceased.
was first called. He told of Robbins
visit to his house in the early part
Of the day. He spoke of his family
troubles to his uncle, but did not on
that occasion make any mention Of
Brown, although on previous occasions
he accused Brown Of having destroyed
the happiness of his home.
Belle Bobbins, the youngest child of
the deceased, and Mrs. Brown were
both called. but could throw no ad-
ditional light on the affair.
Brown himself was then called. He
denied the acts of the evening before
and the accusations made against him
by the deceased, but the next two wit
nesses, G.. b. Mead and John Wallace.
swore positively that Brown dragged
the dying man out Of the house and
dropped his body into the mud and
with an oath said he could not die in
| his house.
Nellie Wallace. the little girl who
was In the house when Robbins burst
in, Mrs. Wallace and w. NJ. Coleman,
neighbors. were also examined, but
their stories were along the line Of the
already published facts.
Verdict Of the Jury.
After a short deliberation the jury
returned the following verdict: 1--WE
find hat the said Zera Robbins came
to his death from a pistol shot wound,
inflicted by himself with suicidal in

The following letter was handed to
Coroner Kelly by Mrs. Brown:

IBnukers and Corporations.

1t has become a fad among this class
of business firms that blank books can
only be properly ruled and bound in the
large cities. This is a delusion. If the
same order is given a home institution
the work can be done just as cheap and
well. The Tribune follows this advice
in all it's business. For what I'VE can
buy at home (Scranton) WI always give
the home dealer the preference. This
Is specially the cas- in our paper for the
job, bindery and newspaper depart
ments. The popular firm Of Megargee
Bros. furnish us with 90 per cent. Of our

gressive firm. and keep a large supply
in stock. Do you go out Of the city for
printing and binding?

ture VIII Fail Twenty. five Degrees.
Another cold wave, the second within
a week, is predicted. The warning was
shown yesterday in the black-center
flag which floated from the court house
Flagstaff and which did not seem at all
abashed as 1t peeped through the
rainy and murky atmosphere.
The telegram which caused the haul
ing up Of the cold a signal was re-
ceived at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and
was worded as follows:
Wednesday, fair; cold wave; tempera-
ture will fall % degrees before Wednesday
night; hoist signal. Moore.
Moore's cold-wave prophecy Of last
week was 80 correct that the present
warning will undoubtedly be needed,
although yesterday the rain and humid
ity might have excused gray-haired To-
cal prophets in predicting rain and
warmth for a week to come. The off,
cial prediction says nothing about snow,
but the fieecy particles are not among
the. impossibilities.
