Explated Her Crime on the Gallows, But
Lived Many Years Afterward.
A curious instance of the hangman's
rope failing to perform its fatal work
gave to Margaret Dickson, an English
woman of century and half ago,
the nickname of Half Hanged Maggie"
"a name by which she was known
throughout the British isles Maggie
had been convicted of some capital Of
fenses (there were several such offenses
catalogued in the English statutes at
that time), and was finally taken to the
gallows on the hill at Edinburgh. After
the drop fell she was allowed to hang
several hours before friends claimed
the remains and started with them in
a cart for Musselburg, six miles away
On the way some drunken apprentices
rudely halted the cart and opened the
coffin in order to see the woman who
had been hanged. This let in fresh air
and the air and the jostling of the cart
combined to revive the supposed dead
woman long before the home of the
relatives was reached. Arriving there
she was carried into the house alive
but very faint and barely conscious. A
minister was called to pray for her
but she soon recovered sufficiently tc
demand that the preacher be dispatched
for doctor, who could administer re

to her at that moment than any minis

physician soon arrived and Maggie

Later on she married and became the
mother of several children. She lived
to be quite old, but the nickname o

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

His Awful Fury.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 30.-The aw-
full fury of the storm king was not fully
realized in this city until daylight, when
the great force of the hurricane which
swept over this section at l O'Clock this
morning was evidenced in the roofiess
houses, uprooted trees and damage to
property generally. Hundreds of houses
were unroofed. but not a single human
being was injured amid the frightful
crashing of houses and falling chimneys.
The opera house was partially unroofed
and many windows were broken in
churches and school houses.
Trains on the middle division of the
Pennsylvania railroad were run via Lock
haven for several hours, owing to a land
slide at Mapleton. Regular traffic was
established this afternoon. In the sur
much dar age is reported and fruit crops
are ruined. Churches Were wrecked IN
several country places, and at Steelton,
an overhead bridge fell across tge Penn
sylvania railroad. An express train
dashed into the debris a moment later
The locomotive and several cars We're
damaged, but nobody was hurt.
1t had been a rainy, windy day, but 1t
was not until midnight when the wind
assumed the violence of gale. 1t lashed
itself into sections of whirlwind thirty
minutes Liter. and by ! o'clock and for
over an hour afterward it showed the
teeth of a small cyclone. There We're
scores of people in the city who spent
the night after u o'clock in their cellars

Among the Sufferers.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 3o.-The most
violent wind storm ever known in this
section, burst upon the city last night
about . o'clock and ragged for two hours.
Trees were uprooted, fences blown down,
windows blown in, and houses unroofed
on every side.
On Broad street, the roof of Jacobs
clothing store was blown in on some
sleeping children, and one of them was
seriously hurt.
The steeple of the Second Baptist
church was blown OFF, the point of it
going into the front of the Y. NJ. c. a.
building, which is on the opposite side OF
the street, and doing considerable dam
age TO that building.
A coiored church in Manchester, just

The Grace Episcopal church steeple and
Third Presbyterian church steeple were
damaged The streets were in darkness
all night and the trolley cars had to

the Dispatch from all over the state east
Of the Blue Ridge. Barns anc small out
houses were swept away, trees uprooted,
residences unroofed,. wires Frustrated and
general wrecl1ing prevails.
The heavy rain at Stanton on Tuesday
resulted that evening in bursting the
dam of the lake at Fair grounds, the
waters of which rushed into Lewis creek,
which runs through the city, flooded the
lower, or business section destroying a
vast deal of property and causing loss
of several lives. The Wilks' building
was undermined and fell. Burks livery
stable was turned upside down, the
bridges over the creek were swept away
and the Crown building is a wreck.
Thornburg stables are ruin and there
is a general wreck everywhere. About
forty horses and mules were drowned,
and bodies of five negroes have been re-
covered. Other persons are missing. The
gas works were destroyed. At Waynes-
boro, ten miles east of Stanton, the
creek rose fifteen feet and wrenched
buildings from their foundation. One
man was drowned. Reports from all the
surrounding country report great losses
to the farmers. The loss at Staunton is
estimated at 100000.

GOLD CAUGHT HInI.

CHICAGO, Sept. So.-A special from De-
troit says: When the Republican national
convention declared it's platform at St.
IsoaIs, Mayor Plngree was inclined to OBJ
feet to the gold clause and accused the
state delegation of departing from its in
structions. Yesterday, in his letter Of ac-
ceptance, he comes out squarely for gold
and protection, thereby disappointing
many who had hoped he would jump the
platform, or at least make a straddle. On
The currency question he says that the
question is: What party policy will best
subserve the greatest good to the greatest
number? What party principle will most
surely restore confidence and set in mo-
ton the wheels of industry giving en-
ploynent to idle hands? The question is
not what is hest for the east or west, bur
for the republic
