Dead Man at Holm.

a dead man held the wheel OF the
schooner Chas. Levy Woodbury. dur
ing several hours Of the night OF Au.
gust on her trip to Honolulu from
Laysan Island. BE was japanese mem
Der Of the crew, and died clutching
the wheel. He was found still holding
it, and the vessel, though greatly dam
aged by a hurricane, which Is suppos-
ed to have caused bis death from ove1
exertion, reached port in safety. Cap
tain Harris, who was in command,
says that his vessel was swept along
at the rate Of nine knots an hour with
out a stitch OF canvas on her. BE gave
up hope OF saving her, ard said good
by to Captain Schlemar, OF Layson,
who was passenger. Bulwarks were
kcocked away to keep the decks clear
OF water and oil was poured on the
waves. The schooner ran tor five days
and nights helpless in the gale With
out the captain being able to take an
observation by either sun, moon OF
stars. The Japanese who died COM
planned OF feeling sick when he took
his place as steersman, and be asked
companion to stand by him for a
time. No one saw him die. he was
found dead and stiff and holding the
wheel as wheo alive. He had fallen
forward. but his hands held on, and
the vessel was holding her course fair.

Found Fortune.

An iron pot Containing $4,000 in

lis years old, was found on the farm
OF James Rivers, near Chesterfield, S.

and VIII Edwards, q negro, while en-
gagged recently IN digging . ditch.
The pot was carried to point 2
miles away ard buried near a creek
bank. When, two days later the
fnd3rs went after the pot 1t had mys-
teriously disappeared. The negro
charges the white man with having
appropriated the money and hidden
it from him, while Teal declares the
story is all a j,ke and 10 pot was IN
earthed. Edward sticks to his story
and has producsd proof OF It's genuine
ness. Detective J. D. ETsns, who
has associated with him one OF the
best detectives in the soush, vino were
employed by the negro, and who have

Reveals Awful Secrets,

A dispasch from Kinat, n. D., says
the dead body OF Charles Herz1g, who
left a written confession that he was
guilty Of q murder committed near
Youngstown, Ohio, over thirty years
ago, has been found by a posse OF
seaIchers. The body was hanging to
q tree in a secluded ravine In the
county Of Wallace. Pinned to his
breast vas piece Of wrapping paper,
on which was written q confession OF
his crime. Around his neck was a
shred Of thin green stuff such as Wo-
men use for face wells. It is recalled
by a former Youngstown man there
that Lizz:e Grombacaer wore such a
veil when murdered and that part CT
1t vas used to strangle her. The piece
found about Berz!g's neck is supposed
to be the renaioder OF the veil, as ne
slowed such a piece to q fellow ranch
nan to whom he told the story OF bis
crim~, declaring that he had kept 1t
al these years to use in ending his
own life some day.

Sixty Injured.

Sixty passengers were Injured. nine
seriously, by the overturning Of a
trailer attached to a traction car on
the Homestead division Of the Pitts
burg, Pa, Railway company near the
Glenwood bridge early Wednesday.
The accident was caused by the failure
Of the brakes to work. The Car and
trailer were crowded to their fullest
capacity. There is steep grade from
the GlenWood bridge to Hays juno
tion, where cars branch off for sur.
rounding points, and great caution is
used by motormen. The brakes refus-
ed to sct properly Wednesday, how
ever, and the cars descended the grade
with unusual speed. At Hays juno
tion there is a sharp curve. The first
car managed to round the curve, but
the trailer, carrying so passengers,
was thrown from the track. A scene
OF almost indescribable confusion FOL.
lowed as the upset trailer was dragged
along q considerable distance before
the motor car could be stopped. Every
one Of the passengers was bruised and
Injured. It is expected that all Of the
injured will ultimately recover.

stroyed a carload Of matches at the
Southern railway depot at 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning. The fire de-
psrtment had to be called to put out

it was Immediately coupled to az en-
CINE and rolled down the yard to the
Reedy river embankment, where the
fireman began to work with the
flames. For halt an hour they poured
a stream Of water into the bursting
matches before the flames we're entire
ly out. The matches were a total
loss and the carload was valued at
$1,000. The damage to the car was
considerable. Most Ct the roof and
woodwork on one end will have to be
replaced and the expense will reach
s100. Why the matches should have
taken fire is not known. 1t is sup

fatal to Andrew, the elder OF the two
brothers.
Andrew, after the robbers had
searched the house and taken 1850,
managed to free himself from the
thongs which bound him and started
across the fields to secure help. The
soles of bis feet were blistered, how

tainted and fell into ditch, where he
lay until alter daylight. Finally he
revived and made bis way to a cheese
factory, where be gave the alarm, but
tue bandits had gained start OF sew
eral hours and could not be found.
The bandits appeared Tuesday night
and when refused admittance battered
in the door and overpowered the old
men after brief struggle. They
searched the house, and anding only
$3.50, concluded that larger sum was
concealed somewhere. They beat and
choked their victims aud finally aD
piled lighted papers to the sole Of their
feet to mage them tell where the sup
posed treasure was hidden.
After half an hour Of excruciat1ng
torture John Fohren tainted from pain
.nd the robbers left. John was uncon-
scious when assistance arrived, but re-
qived and is in q less serious condition
than his elder brother.

The drys claim that they will contest

The total vote cast Was 672. 1t is
