THROAT PARALYSIS.

(Fropa The CourieF-R Herald, SdginaU, Mieh.)
It was publicly talked all over Clare Coun-
BY, Mich, for some time before the Courier
Herald sent reporter to Dover to fully in
vestigate the Coulter matter. He dnally went
and we publish to-day his full report. The
Coulters are prominent people, though Mrs.

objected to being interviewed, said: Ger
tainly not" Her story follows:
About 14years ago we decided to take up
our abode in Dover and everything went
along smoothly for several years, business
progressed and being CT a saving Temporal
ment we accumulated quite an amount.
Our family increased as the years rolled by
and we now have children living, the old
est Is, youngest 3, but sickness made its
way into our household, and doctors bills
flooded upon US, until we have nothing left
but our home, and these sweet children.
Everything else went to satisfy the claims
of physicians.
''About years ago had a miserable
feeling at the back of my ears, my right
hand became paralyzed aud the paralysis ex-
tended to my arm and throat, and would af-
feet my head and eyes, sometimes for days

for their services but could not obtain re-

be but short time until the end would
come. This certainly was not very encour-
aging to me, but never gave up hope. In

The Centennial.

Nashville, July 1S.-It look as if the
Tennessee Centennial will be 60 after

the councilmen and other friends of the
centennial adjourned to the centennial
headquarters, where the subscribers
had been previously called to decide
whether or not the enterprise should be
dropped. The headquarters were packed,
and many could not get in. Quite a
number of live speeches were made.

WHEELS AND RIDERS.

Mrs. ELIZABETH CADY STANTON says
that women are riding to suffrage on
a bicycle"
CHAPERoNs who can ride bicycles are
in great demand in all of the large cit
les OF the country.
DoCToRs have declared that the heart
of Zimmerman, the famous bicycle
rider, is fully two inches longer than
the average size of hearts.
W. D. BACHELOR, of Cornell college,
Iowa, has gone on a trip. with two
companions, through Europe, Egypt
and Palestine on wheels. They expect
to pay expenses by corresponding with
papers, the three having a list of forty
seven.
G. Z. PARDIGON was the first man
seen on bicycle in Richmond, Va. He
visited his old home in Paris about 1871,
and brought a very tall wheel back
with him. A conservative estimate of
wheels in actual use in Richmond
would be two thousand.
REV. Mr.. FAIRBANKS, an American
missionary in India, attributes large
part of his success to the use OF a
bicycle. Not only is he enabled to
cover a more extensive territory with
it. but the natural curiosity of the ma
tives brings large crowds to see "a horse
that needs neither grass nor grain"
If women bicyclers will have the
saddle directly over the pedals and so
high that when the pedal is down the
foot must be bent to reach it, they will
make a much more graceful appear
ance. This will, of course, make
mounting somewhat more difficult, but
the Objectionable knee action will be
less obtruSive.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS


Nearly a thousand people witnessed
the widest scene OF grief and most
heart-rending spectacle of their lives at
Martin one night last week. About 1e
o'clock an alarm Of fire was sounded and
people ran from all directions to the
fire, which was three-room house oc-
cupied by negroes. The house was al
most consumed by the time anyone
reached the scene. Those who were
first on the scene were surprised 10 And
none of the family there except three
children, who had escaped from the
house uninjured; the balance of the
family, consisting of the father, mother,
son and daughter, were away attending
revival meeting. They, with mum
Der Of other cOlored people, soon came,
and their frantic screams and cries could
be heard several hundred yards away.
It was soon discovered that two of the
children were missing. and the parents
became wild, screaming and yelling at
the tops of their voices that the chill
dren were burned. BY this time nearly
a thousand people had gathered, at
tracted by the screams and lamentations.
NeaFAy every negro IN Town was on Tue
scene, and the wailing and screaming
became general with the negroes, until
the woods and hillsides resounded with
echoes Of their cries. Negro women ran
back and forth crying and wailing and
shouting, some of them falling on the
ground from exhaustion. When the fire
had died down somewhat search was
made for the bodies of the two burned,
and they were found in the corner of
one of the rooms. They were literally
burned to coal. The youngest, about
years old, was in the arms of the elder
one, girl about Is years old, and it is
supposed that she had gone back in the
house to save the baby and lost her own
life. When the negroes looked upon
the charred, burned forms, their grief
broke out afresh, but finally turned into
shouting and praising. The crowd
which had gathered gradually began to
diminish, but the negroes kept up their
wailing and shouting and could be heard
far into the night, shouting and singing
religious songs.
