Rain from a Clear Sky—Over rtsc
Graves of Itu.loiph Hausmau and
Fritz Polh:nao -linens t il tesiual
Aimm^ the Colored Po >p!e.
On the 2nd November, ISTQ, Ru
dolph Hausman, aged o2 and Fritz
Pothinan aged 2d, two estimable and
inotTensive citizens of G tuim iiirth,
were bru.aliy m irdered at their borne
I about o miles fro.n Aiken by negroes,
j who briiii'l t »e n witii axes and af
ter pillaging tiie dwjiiing, burnt it to
| the ground and the b »dies of the mur-
| dered men to n crisji. Five negroes
I were tried and convicted by their on n
J confessions and other direct evidence,
and were hung in the jail yard at
l Al ien.
W.iat was left by the axo and the
| lire of t.ie bodies of Hausman and
I PoilihMU were laid to rest in the
; cemetery of Ft. Tiiad lens Episcopal
! church,—and a handsome marble
! snaft, with appropriate inscriptions,
I was erected over the grave.
There they have quietly rested, at
tracting no further remark than an
expression of sympathy as the in
scription, "Murdered near Aiken,
November 2, 187b,” was read by the
passer-by. All this was changed on
Saturday last, when it was learned
that rain from a clear sky was seen
fulling directly over tiiis grave and
nowhere else. Tue colored people,
whose emotional natures are easily
unbalanced, commenced pouring inio
the graveyard in groups and by nine
o’clock Saturday night hundreds both
black and white had visited the
grave.’ This visitation though order
iy, was so continuous that tiic aid «t
the police had to he invoked to dis
miss the crowd.and prevent the tramp
ling of graves and other injuries to
this neat and well kept cemetery. All
dav Sunday and yesterday these visi
tations were kept up by persons anx
ious to witness this remarkable phe
nomenon. The following are the
facts of the case:
On Friday afternoon after service at
St. Thaddeus Church, a young lady
strolling in the cemetery observed
tiny drops of rain falling in the im
mediate vicinity of this grave and no
where else. Struck with astonish
ment at so extraordinary a p leuome
non she made the fact known to a
group of ladies, some seven or eight,
who were in the church, and who at
once visited the spot and verified her
observation. The matter was not
generally known until Saturday af
ternoon when the same phenomenon
was observed at the same time be
tween 4 an l o o’clock. Since then it
has been witnessed by hundreds.
On Sunday morning after church
service we visited the grave and
made a critical examination of the
spot and its surroundings, and also of
the transparent liquid which falls. A
large scrubby looking post oak stands
on the southeast and two wild cherry
trees,with very few leaves,on the north

and tiie area that includes the grave
and tliese trees is about 1-5 feeet square.
Standing under either of these trees
and raising an umbrella it was soon
sprinkled with very small drops of
transparent liquid which upon a close
examination by ourself and others,
was pronounced water and nothinrj
else but water. We are particular
about this as some had asserted that
it was sap falling from the cherry
trees, but the liquid, whether watei
or not, fa Is indifferently from the old
oak as well as from the cherry trees
and upon trying several other cherry
trees which stand in the cemetary in
the same way no such manifestation
was observed. We have conversed
witii a scientific friend upon the sub
ject who has witnessed the phenome
non, but lie, like ourself is unwiilitie
to risk a theory without a more care
ful investigation. Wo would state
however, that at least in two other
instances the same phenomenon ha
been observed by credable witnesses.
One in the neighborhood of Coker
Soring, on the suburbs of Aiken on
Saturday, witnessed by several ladies,
and the other on tiie premises of In-
tendant F. E. Ssmnier, on Sunday
evening.
Since writing the above, the fact
has been fully established by
actual experiment Uiat the liquid is
rain water.
Mr. G. W. E. Thorne a merchant of
Aiken and a vestryman of the
church, lias ascended one of tiie trees
and ascertained beyond doubt that ii
is water, and that it comes from
above the trees. The instance recor
ded in Sunday’s News and Courier
as happening in CharlotteN. C,, is
similar in every particular except
that the fall at Charlotte appears to
have been much greater than in this
locality. Without undertaking to
hazard a theory in explanation, wt
will only say that at this precise
point, only about 1-5. feet square, tin
moisture in I he atmosphere is con
densed by some means, thereby pro
duciug a slight sprinkle under a
bright sun and clear sky and that the
phenomenon has been witnessed by
hundreds. This happening in tin
midst of an extraordinarily protract
ed drouth indicates some remarkable
inequality in the atmosphere, and
tiiat is all we have to say about it.
The fact of the phenomenon occur
ring over the grave of white men,who
were murdered in the most barbarou-
manner bv negroes, has created in
tense excitement among the colored
population.

out. Dinner was then announced and
the entire party consisting of some
twenty-five or more, adjourned to a
shady nook where a nicely prepare !
barbecued dinner was enjoyed. Tut
committee of arrangements was Capt
T. W. Whatley, H. B. Burckhalter
and Daniel Crosiand, and everything
passed off’ in the most pleasant man

the next meeting is ‘‘The feeding oi

been appointed to open the discus
sion,
Such organizations are eminently
useful, and we wish the Aiken
Club a long career of prosperity and

After an absence of five weeks in
Charleston, I am again at home, and
at my post, ready for any items of
news that may be drifting in the
b e< ze.
The gathering season is now fully
upon us, an i farmers are busy with
their cotton. Tne crop is surprising
ly short, not over two-thirds of an
average, so fir as I have seen, from
here to Charleston, on tiie South Car
olina Rail Road, it sviil fall below one
half.
The pea crop is very poor also, and
I think sweet potatoes a failure in
many places. The corn crop is toler
ably fair generally. There is a fair
amount of cr ib grass hay saved from
melon lands which will help out won-
fuily.
I see by the last issue of the
Recorder that Messrs Tillmauand
oi.iers failed to get up a meeting
at Windsor. I am informod there was
i small gathering, and the people who
were present felt themselves badly
treated. I suppose the Honorable
gentlemen didn’t care to waste oratory
on a handfql of voters. I submit that
those present needed speechafying as
much as the same crowd would if

Two Sharp Sliocks.
On Friday morning about 5 a. m.a
sharp and protracted shock of earth-
juake was felt at Aiken lasting accord
mg to some observers nearly a min
ute. The movement seemed to be
vertical and without any
horizontal oscillations. In the after
noon at about forty inimutes after 2
p. m. a sharper shock of shorter dura
tion was felt similar in character to
the morning quake. The duration of
tiie last shock is estimated at thirty
seconds. Some plastering was thrown
down, but otherwise no damage was
done. Both these shocks were felt
over an extensive area of territory
causing considerable damage at Sum
merville a id some at Charleston.
