A QUEER CAROLINA SECT.
The New Adventists Give Charleston
Police Much Trouble.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. s.-After a
silence OF several years religious sect
known to the police of this city as the
New Adventists, "'and having as gem
eral purpose the seeking of hidden treas
ure, is again at work around Charleston.
From the start, however. the police are
making efforts to discourage the band.
Some time ago a train was almost
wrecked by reason of the track having
been dismantled. At first it was believed
that a robber band was in the community
but later it was found that the track had
been torn up by the Adventists. The band
dug under the earth and struck box
which was believed to be gold, but which
turned out to be the coffin of negro
brakeman. railroad switchman. who
was attracted by the midnight chanting
which accompanied the digging, fright
ened them away and tagged the train.
The negroes in the band were afterward
arrested and sent to Jail for trespassirs
on railroad property
Just now the scene of the midnight
searching is around Ashley Junction,
few miles out of Charleston. and the
leader says that vision sent them there.
The hand has been gathered together
again. and every spot around the Junction
is being searched at night in the hope
that treasure may be found.
The Adventists recently broke into un-
occupied houses and did much damage by
digging in cellars before their presence
was discovered. The noise made by them
gave rise to ghost stories.

AN OLD WELLS MYSTERY.
Discovery of a Skeleton Leads to n
Charge of Murder.

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y. Sept. S.-Peter
Austin. a prominent farmer of Stormville,
Dutchess county, was arrested yesterday,
charged with the murder of Charles Brow
er, who disappeared from his home July 2,
1886, and whose skeleton was found in an
old well on Austin's farm two weeks ago.
A great stone had been placed upon the
body and logs of wood filled the we'll. In
his investigation Coroner Bevier learned
that on the night fourteen years ago Aus
tin and Brewer left Austin's house to-
gether and Brewer was seen afterward. 1t
was learned that the men had quarreled
over business affairs and two months be-
fore the disappearance of Brewer he had
a personal alteration with Austin. which
resulted in the breaking of Brewers leg.
The bones Of the skeleton revealed the
fracture and this was accepted as con-
elusive evidence that the skeleton was
that of Brewer
1t Is believed by the coroner and others
that Austin murdered Brewer, VINO had
threatened to place a lien upon his farm
for debt, and threw his body in the well.
1t was shown at the inquest that Austin
passed the old well nearly every day for
twelve years, and logs and other debris
had been put into the we'll. presumably by
Austin, until 1t was filled. Austin sold
the farm two years ago and the recent dry
weather caused the new owner to open
the abandoned well. Austin refuses to
make any statement.

CoATLESS MAN ON TRAINS.
Shirt-Waist Individual AgitntinS
Southern Railway officials.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. S.-The man
with the shirt waist is causing railway
official much trouble. Some of the roads
have requested him to put on his coat
or retire to the smoker but before taking
any action the Southern Railway laid the
matter before its attorneys. An order
has been issued concerning their opinion
and conductors are directed to govern
their actions accordingly. The opinion
follows:
Il am sorry to note that it is necessary
to give the question which is filling the
newspapers as to the shirt-waist man
serious consideration, for ! do not think
it deserving of formal rule of conduct.
This is one of the cases where it seems
to me discretion must be left to the con-
ductor. So long as man is decently
dressed whether he has coat or Iot, his
appearance cannot be offensive to any
sensible person. and as one OF our OBJ
ieets is to provide .or the comfort OF cur
passengers. | do not see why we should
object to it. The conductor. however, is
the person to determine this. Where he
sees that a man, by removing his coat, eff
fects an offensive exposure of the person
or clothing. he ought to suppress that
man promptly. But If no such offence is
given 1 do not think that we should
interfere"

Wells in Hancock are very low, and some

number of deaths from typhoid fever in
this section is attributed to the condition
Of the water produced by the drought.
The drought has cut short the water sup

make it interesting. The result was a
