A MYSTERY CLEARED.
SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THOSE
HUMAN BONES.
An Old S&tchel Containing Some Letters
Throws Light ON the Subject--Was
Wild Man.

From the Albany Herald.
The readers of the Herald will remem-
Der that some time during last Septem-
Der an old negro woman living in
Dougherty county, near the Lee county
line, and IN the swamp land along the
Kinchafoonee creek, found pile of
human bones and hair. The matter was
reported to the coroner of this county,
who empanelled jury and went out to
investigate. All that could be ascer-
tanned was that they were those of a
human being, and from the bits of hair
found probably those ola white person,
who had died several months before.
The bones were brought to the city and
have since been in the possession of Mr..
S. f. Price.
Some time ago Mr.. Price learned that
an old weather-beaten satchol had been
found near where the bones were dis
covered. Mr.. Price secured the satchel
and examined its contents. He found
three letters IN the grip and from the
tenor of them concluded that the writer
was demented. One letter was address
ed to the pension bureau at Washington
asking that certain sum of money due
the writer's father be forthcoming at
once. Another letter was to James
Gordon Bennett, editor of New York
Herald, wanting to secure loan of
$40, 900 at 4 per cent. The third letter
was for President Cleveland, and read
about the sane way as the one to Mr..
Bennett. All the letters were dated
Laurel Gap, Greene county, Tenn"
and signed &c. n. Bruner."
Securing this Information, sMr. Price
wrote the postmaster at Laurel Gap,
and acquainted him with the particulars
in the case. A reply was received say.
ing that man named &. N. Bruner had
lived there several years ago, but had
disappeared; that for further informa.
ton to address W. D. Strong, of the
same place, who was Burners brother
in-law,
Mr.. Price did so, and soon received a
reply to the effect that Bruner was crazy;
that he had become a wild man; that
when he recovered from long illness
his mind was i'm paired. The letter said
that Bruner had not been heard from in
two years.
Mr.. Strong requested Mr.. Price to send
him the letters found in the satchel
Nothing, however, vas said as to what
disposition should be made of the lot
of bones.
The letters have been forwarded and
Mr.. Price will keep the bones until
S ,mething further is written regarding
them.

CITY PLAGUED WITH EELS.
In sew London the Water Supply Is Filled
With Them.

80
Early in the forenoon one day lately
all. the electric street cars which had
been wnizzing about the town of New
London suddenly ceased to go, and for
a time no one was able to discover what
was the matter.
The precise facts i'll the case were that
a laundering big eel four feet long, per-
haps, and two Or three inches thick, had
wriggled out of the supply pond Of the
works into the water main, thence sailed
along into the small service pipe and
had got into tight fix i'll that tube not
many feet away from the boiler that
makes the dynamos go. Eels, though
supple and agile, are not suitable to
grind up into steam hence the sudden
arrest of circulation III the electric sys-
TEN of New London. The lake from
which New London gets its water is
five or six miles away among the hills
to the north, so it is evident the eel
iourneyed all that way through mains
and service pipes bent on his mischiev-
GUS errand to tie up the electric car
lines of the city.
"Such another plague of cells was
never known as that which afflicts New
Londoners this season" said one resent
full but somewhat resigned citizen
Never was anything like it. A man
would think that Konomoc lake was
mixed up in about equal parts OF eels
and wriggles, with some water. Why,
we have cells on tap all the time; have
'em for breakfast, dinner and supper
And then it's the uncertainty about 1T
all that is driving us all to drink
strong drink, | mean. Why, you can
turn your water faucet any time, day or
night, and it's just about even betting
whether you get cells or water, or both
You'll tap eels anyhow, sooner or later.
"Once in great while you get fish,
other kinds, such as sinners or dace,
and now and then fair sized perch,
mostly all small ones, but for steady
thing it's cells Of course when the fish
and cells are stable ones, why, you can
cook 'em for supper and so get even
with the water department, but then
it's not exactly pleasant to do your fish
ing in that way Let man get up i'll
the night, for instance, and go to his
faucet in the dark for a drink, and you
can judge for yourself how unpleasant
it is not to be certain whether it's wa
ter OF eels he's drinking Blast the
things | got one almost swallowed my
self the other night-it was small one,
though-before discovered my mis-
take. It's a horrible situation. New

FIFTY CARAT DIAMOND.
It Was In q Mass of PlumbagO and I'm
fortunately Was Ruined.

Shipments of plumbago are frequently
received at Newburg from the island Of
Ceylon, in which traces of gold are
found. Mr.. Tillinghast, the superintend-
emit, said the other day that he had
found a diamond, about 90 carats in
weight, which had been in a pile of
plumbago.
Unfortunately the diamond was not
found until after it had gone through a
furnace which was heated to 1000 de-
grees. The precious stone had been
cracked in pieces and filled with flaws
by the intense heat. The largest piece is
the size of q hazelnut and SO badly
cracked as to be Of use only as chips
The stone, Mr.. Tillinghast says, was
originally as large as walnut.
The balance of the lot Of plumbago in
which the stone was found is being ex-
amined before it goes into the furnace.

WANTED "CONJURE BONES"
Colored GhCuls Desecrate a Grave to Get
Bones For Dice.


Several weeks ago it was announced
that the grave in which Sarah Barlow,
an old negress, was buried two years
ago at Post Oak Church, Miss. had been
desecrated. Recent developments have
led to the arrest Of three young colored
men for the crime.
1t turns out that these ghouls were
not after money or hidden treasure, but
that they were longing after "conjure
bones, - and bones out of which to man.
ufacture dice, which are currently re-
ported among a certain class Of ignorant
negro "crap shooters" as invincible.
The story goes that when they dug in
to the grave and found the corpse in
such good state Of preservation, not
withstanding it had been buried nearly
two years, they took fright and ran
away.
The case has attracted considerable at
tention on account of its novelty. 1t is
possibly the first one of its kind ever
tried in the state The colored popula-
ton are manifesting no little interest in
the affair, as most Of them have NOR
tai dread of ''conjure bones or any
hing pertaining to the ''black art. -

WATCH AND BADGE

Presented by Members Of the Second ' Division, A. O. H., to Make Good the
 9425 Loss Recently1Sustained by the 2 Division.
 s The members of Division No 2, A. o. H., held Q meeting last night to hear the re- port of the picnic committee. It was sgloomy gathering at the commencement, but an incident which occurred before the ses- sion came to close put different face on the situation, and the members left the hall in much more happy frame of mind than they entered it. The society lost considerable money on account of the un- favorable weather on the fourth and fifth of July. and it requires an organization of more than ordinary courage to suffer such setback and still live. The total loss was $425. Some of those with whom the com mittee dealt were generous and made de- auctions beyond what the society could reasonably expect. Others demanded the last cent. The report seemed to stagger the meeting and no one seemed to know what to say until one of the members of | arose and said that the members of | the A. O. H were not the kind of men t0 cower at the announcement of a defeat like this, brought about as it was by the action | of the elements. "Nor are we the class of men who leave behind us an unpaid
 bill" He then presented to the society 0
 beautiful gold watch to be disposed Of in
 an effort to make good the loss suffered. | Another member offered a solid gold badge
 to the person selling the highest numer of | tickets for whatever kind of an entertain
 ment the division may decide to give.
 Many other articl, S. including a ton of coal.
 barrel of flour and suit of clothes, were | offered should the committee decide to l get up & combination ticket.

Say They Want Their Share of Returning
 Prosperity. ;
 PITTSBURG, .niE -4.-The convention of coal miners of thr Pttsburg district ad journcd, having discussed and adopted important rCsoluliCL<. The miners claim they are not rccci ing their share of the generally returning Pfosperity and want to meet the operators half way in con ference with a view to mutual benefit. They seem determined to do something to better their condition.
 The resolutions adopted say that tho low price of mining isSbrought about in q measure by unlawful weighing of coal, and call for competent check weighmen at places where there is reason to believe coal is not being weighed honestly, claim ing that the only reason why miners are not receiving their share of returning pros1 perity is the want of harmony among the operators of the Pittsburg district.
 They call on the operators to make such arrangements as will restore the 1894 prices on Aug. 1. To secure complete uni formity they declare the price to be paid for mining after Aug. 1 shall be 60 cents where company stores exist and 64 cents where the operators pay cash without deductions.
 The resolutions will be sent to the oper- atOrs with the request that they mako answer to the convention on Aug. 1, when any action deemed necessary will be taken by the miners

TEACHING BEGINNERS.
The First Step In Music Is a Critical On
 Therefore Start Right.


 The First Step In Music Is a Critical One,
 Therefore Start Right.
 In beginning music, as ill every other art,F the first step is critical one. An injudicious teacher often gives the child such distaste for music that the first impression can never be obliterated. It is necessary to win at once the respect and confidence of the pupil and to in spire her mind with enthusiasm for mu- sic. If the 'tesAher is endowed with Q love for her profession and with tact for imparting instruction, the lessons can be presented in such a novel way that the child will never weary.
 With young beginners either Lan- don's "Pianoforte Method" or Gold beck's Primary Instructor" is unex celled as a guide. Each of these works falls in readily with Mason's "Touch and Technic." No one book can contain all the teacher needs, and she should be constantly on the alert to seize upon and incorporate into her work any hint, wherever found, that may aid or strengthen.
 Many teachers object to the teaching of the scales until the child has become somewhat advanced in note reading and until correct position at the piano has been acquired. I find this a useless delay. would never use the notes in teaching the scales, but would instruct the child at the beginning to form them by steps and half steps. This is not so difficult to accomplish as some suppose. If the teacher is sufficiently clear in her explanations and withal possesses the requisite patience, the child will soon understand the construction of the scale and can soon form a scale upon any giv- en keynote. The common chords, too, are readily mastered if the teacher pre- sents each step clearly.
 This is a good introduction to har- mony, and do not find my youngest pupils unable to grasp these initiatory steps. A child taught in this manner will, in few months evince a much greater mental development than one who has been confined to mere note reading, however well graded the les sons may be. It is to be taken for grant cd that much of the lesson hour is to be devoted to acquiring correct position and touch, says the writer of the fore | going in The Etude.
