The funeral services had been 'held,-., the; coffin interred.- and the: grave.nearly bricked, when some- one heard a groan issue from the coffin. The coffin was at once disinterred and Fletch? er was] examined.- His blood was -found v.to be circulating and his. heart beating. He was at once carried to his home and . put in bed. He rapidly improved, but never regained consciousness. On Tues? day, 5th inst, he died and was again 'buried. It was not known what was' his disease. I Ninety. Six, S. 0., Feh, 8.?When the freight train' from Columbia,. due at Ninety-Six at 5 p. m., passed a point four miles East of here yesterday evening, the conductor, saw the body of a dead man besides the track in the water. He re? ported the fact here, and this morning a party of men went to the spot, and there an inquest was held. The man proved to be Harvey Wheeler, 70 years old,. and said to have come from near McNaxy's Ferry, in.lower Edgefield. He is sup? posed to have descended from the railroad track, upon which he was walking, and attempted to drink water from a spring three feet deep, and in so doing he lost his balance and fell headforemost into the hole, where he was drowned. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 8.?-A special to the 8u% from Wheeling, W. Vs., says: The greatest excitement prevails among the farmers throughout a region covering about ten square miles in Wetzel county, the cause being the discovery that there are from eight to twelve doga afflicted with rabies within the territory named, running wild through the woods and over the .fields. For a month past the live stock on numerous farms have been found dead, and hogs and cattle observed to be Buffering from what was thought to be fits, but the cause was not susceptible until yesterday, when it was ascertained that a number of horses, cattle and hogs had been bitten by mad dogs, and two children of John Morgan have shared in the same fate. In Mar? shall coun ty, adjoining Wetzel, Mrs. Mary Smith, aged 70, is lying at the point of death from injuries inflicted by a dog supposed to be mad. Lake d o, Tex., Feb. 7.?Last night, in the northeastern portion of the city, Mrs. -J.^W.wTracy committed suicide. .Mr. Tracy was lyiDg on the floor near his wife, who was sitting at a table writing. She suddenly exclaimed, "Gcod-bye, Jack," and simultaneously the report of a pistol rang out. Her husband jumped to her side, but too late, for the bullet had pierced her heart. The letter proved to be a note to her husband, and'in it she bid him good-bye, exhorted him to lead a better life. She spoke affection? ately in the short note but assigned no reason for taking her own life. Of course there are many rumors afloat as to the cause. Some are to the effect that it was domestic trouble, others that it was tern* porary insanity superinduced by despon? dency. It seems, though, that Mr. Tracy was formerly pretty well-to-do, but is now in reduced circumstances and work? ing as a carpenter. The consequent hard lines in which her lot was cast preyed upon her mind until the tragedy of last night was the resnlt. An Augur to Bore a Square Hole. Waetekloo, Iowa, Feb. 11.?It is re? ported that D. W. Young, a telegraph operator in the employ of the Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad at Charles City, baa solved the scientific problem of making an augur that will bore a square hole. He made a pattern augur, and it is claimed by those who have Been it work that it will cut a equare mortice rapidly and accurately.

Dr. Swayne & Son,Pbiladelpnia. Tee Faith of the TrneUghts. Camden, Feb. 5.?The Rev. D. C. Jenkins, a Truelight or Boylite mission? ary, lectured in Camden this afternoon to a small audience. A man by the name of Boyle, of Snmter County, is the founder of this denomination, the birth? day of which is said to have been , in 1870. There is little or no published matter as to their doctines or beliefs. They claim to have discovered the only right way of getting to heaven, and on this ac? count the sect' was derisively called "Truelights." From the lecture and from conversation with Mr. Jenkins some in? formation was gained as to their belief. They believe in three heavens and three hells. Life on earth 1b both heaven No. 1 and hell No. 1. Then there is a heaven and a hell, where people, or rather their souls, stay between death and judg? ment and then the permanent heaven and hell. Their views as to the creation, as set forth by Mr. Jenkins, are rather novel. He cited the 1st chapter of St. John to prove that Jesus Christ was present at the creation. He said Jesus and God were the only two beings who could cre? ate something from nothing. God can do anything that does not clash with His own character.. His power is limited by His attributes. If he made the world, where was he before the creation. He was in space?space that had no creation. God could not exist without space and time, neither of which did God create. It is impossible for God to have created any wrong principles?lying, stealing, &c. The wrong principles have existed as long as God has, and were created by the Devil, .who also has existed as long as God. The Devil came from space, which was neither created, nor had it a begin? ning. The object of creation was for the benefit of God's offspring, the'souls of men were, not created, but bsTe. always Jba^-srr^ijiDryonic existence in God. He showed that Adam threw the blame of his fall on his Maker by saying, if it had not been for the woman. he would not have fallen, and if it had not been for God the woman woui&not have have been. created. -? ? After preaching, or lecturing, about an hour and a half Mr. Jenkins stopped rather abruptly as' he "was about to explain'how Eve was created, [j Mr." Jenkins is from North Carolina, He is not a very intelligent looking man, but speaks with great earnestness and apparent sincerity, in rather a quiet, con? versational way.' Sometimes he.failed to make himself perfectly clear; He goes from Camden to Columbia, and thence to Charleston. , In conversation with him it was found that there were about two hundred True lights' in this county, a few in North Carolina and some, in Georgia. They baptize in any convenient way, or in the way preferred. by the applicant. Each church, one of which is in Eastern Kerehaw, has its own separate and dis? tinct government, celebrating the Lord's Supper in its own way. One of the most emphatic doctrines of this sect is not to become insulted, to forgive and not avenge. They keep the Ten Command? ments "as far as the morals go." Some do not keep the Sabbath, as they think that "Christ did away with it." Those who keep Sunday seem to keep it because it is 'egal and customary. An .instance was told me today about a True light family in this county killing hogs on Sunday. They say they are "Christians" and like to be called by that name.? Special to News and Courier. New England Coming South. Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 7.?A combination, of Boston and Kansas City capitalists has purchased thirty-two I thousand acres of land in the vicinity of Fort Payne, Alabama, fifty miles ifrom. this city, and has organized the Fort Payne Coal and Iron Company. A party of seventy five persons arrived at Fort Payne from Boston yesterday. They are well pleased with the property and will at once commence improvements on an extensive scale. The gentlemen composing the company are Bajd to com? mand unlimited capital and to have already over one million dollars in the treasury of their company. The contem? plated improvements include develop? ments of large iron ore and coal mines, the building of furnaces, coke ovens, pottery and clay works, the establishment of a national bank, &c. Fort Payne is at present but a village of 300 inhabitants, on the Alabama and Great Southern Railway. At the head of the Fort Payne enter? prise are Ex> Governor Seldon Connor, of Maine; Governor D. H. Goodhall, of New Hampshire, and A. Andrew Price, president of the Union Trust Company, of Kansas City, and Hon. J. W. Spalding of Portland, Me. There ia now being) organized a company in Boston to pur? chase an immense tract of land adjoining this city, including a vast coal field on the monntains adjacent.

There was represented 5,000 acres of land, and it was moved and carried that the planring of this acreage should be contingent upon a reduction in freight. A committee was appointed to confer with the South Carolina Railway officials, and in the event of their not acceding to the reduction in freights the executive committee was ordered to re? duce the acreage to be planted in melons.

In the Railway Age, of the 8th inst,, it is stated that the cod tract for the building of the Carolina, Cumberland Cap Chicago Bailroad from Edgefield Lc Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, has been let to the Atlantic and Northwestern Construction Company of New York. W. H. Schofield, 170 Broadway, New York, 1b president of the construction company, and W. H. Schofield. jr., is superintendent of construction,. with headquarters at Aiken, S. C. The line included in the contract is a distance of three hundred and fifty miles, passing by Abbeville, touching Pickens, crossing the Air Line at Easley, penetrating the Blue Bidge by comparatively easy grades through Estatoe Gap and thence on by Asheville to the Tennessee line and the Cumberland Gap. It is believed by those here who are best posted on the affairs of the. 0. C. G.' & C. Eoad that this new contract means the completion of the road. W. H. Schofield, who is at the head of the con struction company, is the man who has faithfully worked at the enterprise for years, and to whose energy and ability and fidelity its present existence is largely due. After years of struggle with no ap? parent prospect of success, during which time Col. B. E. Bowen, the President of the road, and Mr. Schofield, its financial agent, were its almost lone supporters, the first section of the new line was built from Aiken. to Edgefield.. That section is now in successful operation, and with the awarding of a contract for the building of the road through the moun? tains, its friends are beginning to look fondly to the consummation of the great enterprise. ? Birmingham, Ala., is about to en? large its corporate limits by taking in the suburbs and several thousand of the suburban population. A bill will be presented to the Legislature of Alabama authorizing this extension.; Birmingham has had phenomenal growth. Founded only a little more than fifteen years ago, it now has a population of between 80,000 and 40,000, and is growing more , rapidly now than at any time during its brief history.

A Strange Elopement. The following particulars of a sensa? tional elopement was received here yes? terday by a gentleman of this dity, from a correspondent at Pollard, Ala. A lady abont 25 years old left her husband and children last week to pay a visit to some relatives of her hus? band, residing about seven miles from Pollard. While there she became infat? uated with'a fifteen-year-old boy whom she met. No one at the place suspected anything and when returning to her home in a buggy driven by thn boy she planned an elopement. The boy returned home, and 6he met a gentleman at Flomaton, and asked if she could get a position as a cook at Pollard. He told her he thought Bhe could, so she took the traiu for Pol? lard, and went to work Friday night. Saturday the boy put in an appearance, and their meeting was very affectionate. She met serious opposition from the boy's father, who was greatly enraged, and says he will separate the boy from her if he has to put him in jail, The lady says she will stick to the boy in spite of all. Sunday the boy took the southbound train on the Louisville and Nashville road for some unknown point, and was followed next day by the lady. They were both followed by the boy'B irate father, who went in hot 'pursuit. The woman was well dressed and good looking, while the boy is small for his age and had never been away from home before. The affair has caused a profound sensation in that vicinity. The gentle? man's correspsndent does not give the names -of the party, bnt says they are nice, well-to-do people.. A Pretty Office Seeker. Indianapolis, Feb. 10.?Something new and pretty in the office seeking line has come to town. It is Blender and graceful, with dark complexion, deep black eyes and an irresistible charm of, manner. It is down on the register of the hotel as "Miss Bessie McAllister Florence, Alabama," and in the records of the postoffice department at Washing? ton it is put down as "B. McAllister postmaster."^ Miss McAllister is a democratic daugh? ter of a democratic sire, and she says she isn't afraid to acknowledge her politics even to General Harrison, upon wh om she will call at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. Her father for sixty years was a leading business man of Florence, which is a thriving town with about 5,000 population. When Cleveland was elected President Mr. McAllister was made post* master, but he had held the office but a few weeka when he died. His friends suc? ceeded in having his pretty daughter appointed to succeed him, and she has since administered the affairs of the office to the complete satisfaction, is said, of the people of the town. Miss Bessie aays ahe knows Bhe is an awfnl democrat, and civil service reform means that the party that wins gets all the offices, but still, as the Florence postoffice i3 such a little office and Bhe wants it so bad, she thinks it will be real mean of Gen. Harrison not to overlook her politics and reappoint her. At any rate, Bhe says Bhe is going to ask him, right out, if he won't let her stay in the office. ?_ ? Some months since an advertisement appeared in a paper ever the signature of a gentleman who was matrimonially inclined. It was answered by Miss Hockman, who resides near Overall, a station on the S. V. R, E., in this County, A correspondence ensued, photographs exchanged, etc. Last week the gentle? man alighted from the train at Overall, and at once inquired for the residence of Miss Hockman. The parties were mutually pleased with each other. License was procured and they were mar? ried Tuesday, and left for the home of the groom, Mr. Kent, in the State of Michigan. This is another instance of the fact that advertising pays, and the successful man is the man who advertises his business.?Page [To.) News. Steam Outdone. The Artesian wells of Dakota are proba? bly the most remarkable for pressure, and the immense quantity of water supplied, of any ever opened. More than a hun? dred of such wells from 506 to 1,600 feet deep are to day in successful operation, distributed throughout twenty-nine coun? ties, from Yankton in the extreme Bouth to Fembinain the extreme north, giving forth a constant, never-varying stream, which is in no wise affected by the in? creased number of wells, and showing a gauge pressure in some instances as high as 160,170, 175 and 187 pounds to the square inch. The tremendous power is utilized in the more important towns for water supply, fire protection, and driving of machinery, at a wonderful saving {on the original cost of plant and mainten? ance, when compared with steam. Io the city of Yanktown a 40 horse power turbine wheel operating a tow-mill by day and an electric light plant by night, is driven by the force of water flowing from an Artesian well. What has been been accomplished through the aid of natural gas and cheap fuel in building up manufactories elsewhere may some day be rivalled on the prairies of Dakota by tapping the inexhaustible power stored in nature's reservoirs beneath the surface. Jefferson Davis on Race Riots. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 9.? In a personal letter to Park Commissioner Root, of this city, Mr. Jefferson Davis writes concern? ing the race riots in Mississippi: "The tendency to change seems to grow hpoc the negroes with the indulgence of tbeir right to leave at will. The account of riots in this State have been greatly exaggerated. Though it may seem sin? gular, it is true that race conflicts gener? ally occur where the negroes are few compared to the whites and the personal association much closer than on the plan tiona. On our our island we have five hundred or six hundred blackB and say ten or a dozen whites. There has never been a disturbance among them. We for several years had a negro magistrate He has now gone away, but before his departure" a well behaved, sober young man defeated the negro in the last elec? tion contest, which at least shows that the negroes to a large extent are willing to trust a white man." ? Lewis Ashley, colored, in jail under sentence from Justice A. H. Patterson for failure to pay.taxes, turns out to be a woman. Her exercise of the right of suffrage brought her into this trouble. But she is no stranger to prison walls in Barnwell, as she has been in durance vile before. She gives no reason for having masqueraded as a man, except that she has always worn such attire. It was said in high Radical times that many colored women donned their husbands' garments and voted early and often at remote precincts, and Lewis may have been practicing so that Bhe might be perfect for the next Congressional elec? tion.?Barnwtll People. ? A colored Farmers' Alliance has been organized at Mount Zion Church, near Guthriesville. The organizer is J. J. Frasier, colored, of Lancaster, who has been commissioned a lecturer and organ? izer for York County. The declaration of principles and laws of this order are not the same as those governing the alliances composed of white citizens; but Mr. W. N. Elder, lecturer and organizer for York County, has examined them at the request of Frasier. Mr. Elder was also present, by invitation, at the organi? zation of the Mount Zion Alliance. He says the principles governing the colored Alliance and the objects of the order are calculated to render the laboring class more contented, will place them and their employes on better terms, and he thinks it will generally be productive of good. The order is free from the features characterizing the Knights of Labor and similar societies, and, Mr. Elder says, Is calculated to promote the interests of the laborer and his employer.?
