PASTOR FOUND THE DEED.
GienYiile Minister Dreams a Remark
able Dream-And Thereby finds
Lost Paper-Strange Coincidence OF
Figures and Location.

Nine out of ten men scott at the
idea that anything is ever taught or
communicated to one by dreams or
premonitions. The Chenille Path
finder publishes this week a strange
occurrence which is, to say the least,
remarkable coincidence says the
Pathfinder:
Some days ago Rev. VIM. M. Hiner,
pastor of the M. E. church, South of
this place, had occasion to see the
deed for the Jobs Temple church lot.
Going to the county clerks office, he
asked if such a deed was recorded
there. Clerk Kee searched the records
thoroughly, but, owing to the fact
that Mr.. Hiner did not know from
whom, to whom, or when the deed
was made, the record of the same
was not found.
"Much worried about the matter,
and filed with a desire to find the
deed, the reverend gentleman went
home and that night retired at his
usual hour His mind was restless,
and when he at last fell asleep he
dreamed that in search for the deed
he went to the house of a Mr.. Stall
= maker, who resides near Jobs Temple,
and there found the deed; that it was
signed by one name only, and that
upon the back were the figures and
90
s'Some days after, Rev. Mr.. Hiner
visited Mr.. Stalnaker's house, and
there, sure enough, as in his dream,
hefound the deed. 1t was signed by
j. M. Bennett and upon the back were
the figures and 20.
"Returning to Chenille, Mr.. Hiner
again went to the clerks office and
told what he had discovered, and how.
Deputy clerk, Miss Alice Kee turn
ed to Deed Book No. I, page 20, and
there found the deed.
This is true Can anyone explain
ite"

An Increase of Salary.

The quarterly conference of the
Morgantown NJ. e. church last night
voted to increase the pastors salary
two hundred dollars, making it twelve
hundred dollars, and the parsonage.
The disposition to help the pastor
now when his expenses are unusually
heavy, is one for which he is very
grateful.
The pastor was authorized to secure
suitable date from Bishop Fowler,
and have him give his great lecture
on "Lincolnn to the people of Nor
gantown. An effort will be made TO
have the bishop preach during his ex-
pected visit to our town.

The Girl l Left Behind Me.

One of the strongest plays writ
ten in recent years is ''The Girl | left
Behind Me" That this statement is
correct is indicated by the fact that
the piece ran for long time at the
Empire Theatre, New York, after a
brief tour ran there again, and after
another briefer tour was staged in
a spectacular way and held the
boards at the Academy of Music,
New York, for the major portion of
the last theatrical season.

Der of verdaht visitors to this city
recently. slaughter arrived here
yesterday morning from his home up
the river, and had only walked few
squares whed he met a man. They
had several drinks, and Slaughter
took his new found friend with him
to buy some cigar boxes. Then they
had another drink, and took street
car ride to Newport, when two men
stepped up to them and told Slaugh-
ter's friend that he was under arrest
for being counterfeiter.
This scared Slaughter, who gave
the alleged officers SOL. SO that they
would not take him to the lookup.
He was allowed to go, with instruc-
tions to call at the station house later
with business man to prove that he
was not criminal. After the men
were gone it dawned upon Slaughter
that he had been victimized, and he
notified the Newport police and Chief
Deitsch. His description of the men
tallies with that furnished by other
verdant victims of the bunko men.
Slaughter is also minus his valice and

F GOLD BRICK SPINDLE.
A Georgia Planter Succumbs to the
 { .--,. far-r Swindle.

--r ar5f Swindle.
 Atlanta, Ga, May LA special from Ma con, Ga to the Constitution says: $ A swindier from the north reached Macon a few days ago and soon after his arrival met by appointment one of Georgia's -wealthiest planters. Neither the swindler nor the planter is here now. The swndler has returned to his eastern haunts wearing happy smile and carrying s6,300 of the planters money, while the planter has gone home to hide three gold bricks he bought and to secrete, if he can, the knowledge that he was duped- No one seems to know who the swindler is, but 1t is well known fact the planter is Phil Jackson, probably the weathest of Sumter county.
 A few days ago Jackson was summoned 10 Macon by letter advising him of good investment" and here he met the plausible stranger; who exhibited three gold bricks Jackson swallowed the bait. and after carefully examining the gold bricks paid the stranger S6,3e0 In cod cash and a check for s$5,000 for the bargain. Of course the briebs were only brass, and now the victimvis endeavoring to keep the affair a secret instead of reporting 1t to the authori- ties and making an effort to convict the manufacturer of the scheme.
 The gold brick artist told the usual story of an Indian finding the mine in a secluded spot in Nevada, and that samples were only sold to get money with which to develop it.

 ROBBERS IN SYLVESTER. IA, Member ofe Former Gang Recog- e--cet e- -re-1r nized
 Albany, Ga, May 1.-Robbers again visit ed. C. F. Putney's store at Sylvester last night, and one of them, a member of the same gang that killed poor Bill Grass, was left dead, pierced by two bullets. It was about 9 o'clock last night when Julian and Duncan Forester and E. E. Weatherbee, clerks, and Jim Bowie the porter and sue eessor to Bill Grass, were in the store that burly negro entered the door and sang out i'Hands up! Hands up, l say." He held pistol in each hand and as he. gave the command he covered the three salesmen as best. he could, but they simultaneously reached for their pistols and their contents were. directed with deadly aim at the negro who only managed to fire two shots, neither of which took effect. One of the robbers pistols refused to work, and he tossed it from him with an air of disgust. He vainly tried to meet the onslaught of the clerks with the other. but the odds were against him. tWeatherbee was between him and the door and the Forresters were on one side. He was shot to his knees, but he staggered to side window where he had before made his escape. This was latched, he burst the glass, but the latch of the shutters could not be moved and he, with an exclamation of rsOh, Lordy' sank down and was dead in a few minutes. He was identified as one of the two men who attempted the hold-up Tuesday night. A memorandum book found on his person gave his name as Charles Denham, and that he was a native of Oil City. Pa He had noted that his sister lived in-Jacksonville, Fla, and brother in Flori- da also. ?

evening next the 18th inst.
Minister H. E. Cooper, Mrs. Wal

1t is understood that the admission
price will be % cents and that the
receipts will be applied to current
expenses of music, etc. Four
chorusus will be given but the pro-
gram will not be prepared until
Thursday next.
1t is not inappropriate to say that
Prof. Yarndley to whose musical
ability and persevering energy and
tact the Society and music loving
public owe 80 much has served
throughout without remuneration
out OF fidelity to his art. This
should not be altogether forgotten
when the Choral concerts become

The community is anxious to
know who tho parties are who are
responsible for roads, sidewalks, etc.
in Honolulu. The main road lead
ing to the st. Louis College, is in a
most disgraceful condition. The
temporary bridge across the old
Nuuanu river would make Southsea
Islander blush, and the hackdrivers
aud livery stables are justified in
refusing to send their carriages to
the College. A couple of gentlemen
having important business at the
College drove out in light brake
yesterday, and were obliged on several
parts Of the "road (O" to get out
aud carry their vehicle. 1t is dis
grace to the Interior Department
to allow such conditions to exist and
the fact reflect badly upon the Public
Works Bureau which at any time fix
up the roads leading, say, to Oahu
College at record breaking rate
and will allow st. Louis College to
be inaccessible. 1t must be re-
membered Of course that St. Louis
College is frequented only by about
500 poor children, while Oahu
College can boast OF nearly so pupils
of wealthy parentage.
