Trapped in a Charnel House. Philadelphia Times. Chattanooga, Texn., Feb. 19.?If, has been asserted that in the annals of modern crime nothing more atrocious, or more diabolical is known than the wholesale murders now being at tributed to Holmes, the monumental insurance swiodler, but that there is nothing new under the sun in crime is shown by the authentic story of a charnel house in the East Tennessee mountains, where for years and years men and wo men were murdered and their bodies either burned or buried, while their murderers walked not only unsuspect ed, but respected through the land* Thrilling iudecd are the tales of early life in East Tennessee, b'it this per haps is the most- thrilling of all. I heard it arouud a camp Ore one sum mer night about three years ago whil hunting in the Cumberland mouut:rms, while the fire flickered out and th< moonlight came to play fantastic trickir among the shadows of the foliage and! to throw a ghostly veil over the land scape far below in the valley. But the morning dawned a: pearl of beauty bathed in a sea of that'peculiar pink and purple to be seen nowhere else combined in such a perfect picture of color as among the Tennessee mountains. I went with eagerness St the invitation of our guide to see this charnel house where human lives had been ruthlessly sacrificed to appease an avaricious greed for gold, and to view the spot where the bodies of the victims had been btfried and lost to their friends forever. With its windowless walk the hovel was dreary and uninviting Chough in itself, but situated as it was o?t a bleak, abandoned farm, now the prop of the Cumberland Land Company, of which J. H. Lorely is manager, it was to me positively repcllant, and I could not but pause with a shudder at the threshold over which many a foot had stepped never to return, and where the waves of dampened odors from the interior were suggestive of nothing so much as the gauesomeness of the grave. The house was a low, one-storied structure, originally erected as a smoke house for the curing of country hams, but subsequently converted into a chamber of death and an abode of horror. At the time of the murders there was situated in front of it, but about 50 yards distant, a commodious frame house built in the old Southern style of architecture, which secured roominess at the cost of cosiness, but that dwelling had b=en destroyed by fire during the war and only the black ened, tottering chimneys remained Co mark the ante-bellum home of the man who was probably guilty of more dia bolical murders than any man that ever stepped on Tennessee soil. James Allen was this man's name. He settled in the neighborhood about 1840, and a few years after that began to run a road house for the accommo dation of men travelling through the sparsely settled country. It so hap pened that the houss was located at a spot which made it very convenient to travelers passing either North or South, East or West, by the two big roads that crossed each other near that point. Allen's family consisted of his wife and two grown daughters, who were considered in those days of primitive education to be very accomplished girls, and were certainly attractive in face and form. In 1849 and 1850 considerable ex citement was created in the neighbor hood by the discovery of oil. Pros pectors and speculators began to pour into the section from the vicinity of Knoxvilk and Nasbville and from Kentucky, hoping to find a gusher, and it maybe added, incidentally, that many of the well.3 then discovered, but undeveloped for lack of convenient transportation facilities, have within the last year, owing to the rapid ad vance in the price of crude oil, been opened again, and a number are now being worked with profit to the owners. Among those who struck a paying well at the time of this story was one Dr. Hickman, from Nashville. The product of his well, hauled by wagons forty miles to the Tennessee River, over the rough mountain roads, and thence slowly transported to Nashville, began to make him rich. Every six months he made a trip to the Capital of the State to receive payments for his shipments, the amount sometimes approaching$10,000. On each of these trips Hickman found it convenient to stop going and coming at the Allen house, and as early as the returning 3econd visit he had fallen in love with one of the londlorJ's fair daughters, and in a spirit of. effectiooate confi dence he told the family what a rich thing he had in his oil well and how lie expected to come back from Nash rille on the next trip loaded down with gold. When the too confiding gentleman stopped at the house about six months ifterwardu on his third trip to Nash rille he was literally received with )pen arms. The young ladies were nost attentive, and almost affectionate, .vhile the landlord and his buxom vife were too polite ar,d considerate 'or anything. The visitor was flatter id beyond measure, and when he drove iway he promised with pleasure to iccept their pressing invitation and itop with the family several days on lis return. But the settlement of his business iff airs in N ash ville detained him longer ,han he had planned, and the Aliens vere not expecting him when he arrived it the road house late one night, ?veryone had retired, and, after par aking of a cold lunch, he was inform ;d by his host that the house was srowded, and that it was then too late ,o make a place for him except in the itone house, which had been specially itted up for just such emergencies. Seeing no alternative Hickman politely sonsented to sleep there, and the host ed the way with a lantern. The door vas fastened by a padlock and clasp, ehich Allen unlocked, and, telling his lompanion that he would find a com brtable bed within, threw open the loor and directed him to enter. As soon as Hickman stepped inside he landlord pulled the door shut with > bang and quickly locked it. Seized with an awful fear of some hing, he knew not what, Hickman sprang to the door and yelled loudly o the landlord. But the thick walls if the apartment merely echoed his ;ries in a mocking confusion of sounds, md all was dead silence without, tfore and more crazed with fright the mprisoned man pounded on the rough taken door with his fists until the )lood came. As time passed he grew quieter and >egan to think of some way to escape, fortunately he had a box of matches ind he cautiously struck one. By its lickering light he made some startling liscoveries. He saw that the strong rails of the prison were without win lows and that the only opening to the dace was the door through which he lad entered, now closed and securely ocked. Not satisfied, however, Hickman itruck another match and began to nake a tour of the room, keeping close o the wall. This finally brought him ?p against a bed in the corner. The ihock made him drop the burning natch. As he. held the next lighted ' taper above his head and looked down on the bed its flickering, feeble rays revealed a sight thaa fairly froze the blood in his veins. Lying in pools of clotted blood, their arms around each other, were the forms of a man and woman rigid I in death. By the light of another match Hickman discovered several small holes or openings in the wall on a dead line with the bed. He later saw that these holes ran all around tbe room at regular intervals, and at ODce divined the purpose for which they were used. Though appalled at the situation, Hickman resolved to escape the death for which he seemed doomed, if it could be done by any possible ingenuity or bravery. Feeling that nothing more could be gained by an investigation of the apartment, he sat down in a corner to quietly await developments. Shortly after midnight he saw through the portholes on the other side of the room reflections from the lays of a lantern, and knew that his would-be murderers were approaching. Tbc ?^ft minute the muzzle of a gun was' slid cautiously through one of the holes just above the bed, and the thunderous discharge that followed was almostenough to awaken the dead lying there in the corner opposite. Another and another followed, each fired from a different point, until every portion of the room had been; siweut by the leaden hail. But the prisoner was on the alert, and by lying fiat on his back close up in the fire-place he remained U?n'ffjured. During the fir ing, he uttered no cry or sound, but tmxnediately after it stopped crawled softly' to the door, feeling sure that the f?etods on? the outside would enter to get his fsoncy as soon as they thought their diabolical work completed. He was not mistaken in that. Pres ently he heard a* noise, whreb indicated that the door waB being unlocked. Arising from his prostrate position he stood erect and prepared for a disperate struggle with his foes. Slowly the door opened and swung inWard. As if. did so, Hickraao step ped behind it, and saw Allen enter with ? g?ftr i'rr his hands, his wife fol lowing Whfr a" lantern to guide their footsteps. .As" they passed the portals of the door, the quick-witted and des perately determined prisoner kicked the lantern from tie woman's hand, throwing the room into total darkness, and, springing out of the room, slam med the door to, and quickly locked it with the murderous man aud bis wife on the inside. Hickman knew at once what to do. Stealthily securing his horse from the stable, he mounted the animal and rode at breakneck speed to the nearest settlement three miles away. In two hours he was back at the road house wSth it dozen men behind him. The day had hardly dawned and the guests of the inn were still sleeping, when they were awakened by the curses of a man and the screams of a woman. By the time they had jumped iinto* Sheir clothes and reached the scene, Allen' and his wife were dang ling from ropes ' swung on the limb of a big oak iff t&e back yard, and when the sun cametrpa few hours later it shone upon their distorted faces and long since lifeless forma still swinging from the limb. To this day that tree?9 pointed out to visitors as being one e-f the most .interesting features of the country, which is rich in blood curdling"legends. Beneath the floor of the stone house where Hickman had been entrapped were found the decomposed and muti lated remains of six men and two wo men, not counting the bodies of the man and woman disccovered on the bed by Hickman, and which Allen ev idently bad not had time to put away. Aside from these bodies a pile of bones was discovered in a cellar be neath one corner of the house, indi cating that more than a dozen people had been murdered in the apartment some time between the years of 1840 and 1850, thus" accounting for the large number of persons who had mysteriously disappeared* rrr that sec tion during those years, The Real Moonshiner* He is neither a bandid, nor a high wayman, a disturber of the peace, nor, in respect to formularies other than the: revenue statutes, a law breaker. Least of all, perhaps, is he a desperado. Within a month of the present writing a traveller on one of the Tennessee railways entered a smoking car of the train. In the rear seat sat'an officer in charge of a "covey" of moonshiners flushed by him on the mountain the night before. There were 12 in the party. They had yielded without re sistance to one man, and, most singu lar circumstances of all in the South, the deputy had not found it necesssary to put them in irons. At their trial the members of this party will doubtless plead guiltj to a man, though a little nard swearing would probably clear half of them ; they will beg for mercy or for light sentences, and those of them who promise amendment will most likely never be again brought in on the same charge, for the mountaineer is prone to keep his promises. A venerable Judge, in whom judicial seventy is tempered by a generous ad mixture of loving kindness and mercy, and whose humane decisions have made his name a word to conjure with among the dwellers in the waste places, tells a story which emphasizes the promise-keeping trait in the mountain ?haracter. A hardened signer of the stills, whose first and second offences were already recorded against him, was once again brought to book by the c.'gilance of the revenue men. As an | old offender, who had neither promised aor repented, it was likely to go hard [vith him ; and he begged not for lib ?rty, but for a commutation of his ?entsnee which would send him to jail instead of tbe penitentiary, prom ising that so long as the J udge remain- : ?d upon the Bench- he would neither make nor meddle with illicit whiskey. He won his case and was sent to jail for a term of 11 months. This ivas in the summer, and six months : later, whoa the first snows began to powder the bleak summits of Chilho tvee, the Judge received a letter from the convict. It was a simple-hearted petition for a "furlough" of ten days, pathetic and eloquent in its primitive Englishandquaintmisspelling. \V,ould the good Judge let him off for just ten lays? Winter was coming on, and the wife and children were alone in the cabin on the mountain, with no .me to make provision for their wants. He would r ot overstay the time, and he would "certain shore" come back. His petition was granted, and, true to his word, the mountaineer returned 3n the tenth day and gave himself up to the sheriff. He served the remain der of his sentence, and, after his re lease, kept his pledge so long as the Judge remained on the Bench?Lip pincott's Magazine. Hncklcns Arnica Salve.

' Home Remedies. Should these remedies eeem pecu liar and starnge to you, please do not (for your own sake) reject them be cause of that ; for I beg leave to as sure you that they will do all I claim for them. Here is one of the pre , scriptions which is easily filled in al most every farmer's house: Into a bottle put two tblespoons of salt and cover it an inch deep with spirits of camphor. Let it stand a little while, frequently shaking it and it is ready for use. Now I will tell you what it has done for me. I had the erysipelas badly. My hands were swollen until my fingers stood apart and were nearly as thick as two hands, and the backs'were dark and almost purple in color, and great blisters al most covering them. The blisters bursted open and I was in great agony. Before they were so bad I went to two of those who are considered our best physicals, but they did me no good. Erysipelas-was in possession of both feet and was making its way on rr" face. A friend spoke to me of the above (except she said whisky and salt; we never keep that article in the house, so I used spirits of cam phor instead). I began by putting a little on the side of my hand and it seemed to cool it. I then applied it to the blisters coming on my fingers ; it ea?ed them instantly. Then I mustered all my courage and put it into the open blisters. Well, for half a minute it stung; then it was over and my hands were so cool and easy that I threw away the cloths and the doctor's medicines, and went right to bed and to rest. Of course, I had to apply it frequently until the disease was killed. Internally, I tookl5 drop* of tincture of iron once in two hours. That was eight or nine years ago this coming summer. I have never had even a touch of erysipelas. When applied in time, it will kill it inside of a few hours. It will kill the poison of the sting of a bee or wasp, stop ping the pain almost instantly. When my throat gets sore (as it often does), I take a little of the palted camphor in my mouth and holding my breath I gargle :it in my throat for an instant, then spit it out in a hurry. It is severe, but the last time I tried it, twice using it was enough. Here is another home remedy just as effectual in its place, that of heal ing wounds. Into a tincup put a half tablespoon of white sugar, cover it with spirits of turpentime, set it on the stove until it smokes. It is then ready for use. Must be applied hot as can be borne. Here is what it has done. Last summer, my husband caught his middle finger of the right hand under the chain of his binder and tore the nail off by the roots. The above remedy not only healed it but prevented its getting sore. I think he milked with that hand inside of a week. A cousin ran a nail into his foot by jumping off a fence or wagon on to it. His foot was very bad and getting no better. He came here and I applied this remedy, and in about three days he put on his boot and went back to his place to work.? Western Rural. EMERGENCY REMEDIES. There are many accidents constant ly occurring among the little people, for no matter how careful older ones are to place dangerous things out of reach, there's apt to be a time of for getting, and then the dire conse quences. Now it is hot water, again the hatchet or a sharpe knife ; pos sible concentrated lye is swallowed, or buttons or thimbles find their way in to places in baby's economy. For scalds from hot water or stove there is nothing more apt to be handy than baking soda ; wet it up soft and apply freely. If burn is superncal or of slight extent, binding it up with this is all that will be necessary. If lye has been drunk it is seldom that vomiting does any good ; the amount is usually small. The best treatment is sweet oil or even meltod lard if you haven't the oil, to counteract the caustic effects off the lye. The after inflammation of the stomach and bowels which sometimes follows will need specific treatment quite beyond the power of the laity. Usually when any foreign or poison ous matter has been swallowed the first indication is to produce cmesis. If you have no syrup ipecac in the house, add a little mustard and salt to lukewarm water, and make the child dri?k considerable. It is one of the promptest, most easily obtained emet ics known. When the ?njury is a cut, the treat ment will depend on locality. If the hemorra'-e is severe, an artery may need tying, but until a doctor can be secured, tie a h- ''kerchief, or some thing around t limb, above the wound, and place the limb in an eleva ted position. For bee stings, probably the best dressing is mud, as it is for most bites or stings from insects. Mud frequently removed is excellent dressing for snakes and dogs bites after they have been properly bled and cauterized. Foreign substance, in nose or ears, of course, demand removing. But, unless you are sure of success, don't attempt it yourself, and by pushing the obsticle out of reach make a bad matter worse. Call on a surgeon at once. If the not unusual accident of a "bug in the ear" occur, waste no time trying to drag the offender out, douse in sweet oil, salard.dressing, or molas ses even, if you haven't the other handy, a.nything to entangle and quiet the intruder before it makes the vic tim wild. It can then be syringed out with warm water. The Parson's Trouble. "Once in awhile," said a minister from out of town, "I am asked a ques tion that I cannot answer. Not long ago, early one Sunday morning, I walked out on my little farm and came to a piece of woods where the squir rels were always numerous. On the limb of a tree which hung aero?'- ?he road I saw a pretty little fellow sit ting nibbling at a nut. He didn't see me, and I drew my gun on him and caught him just as straight as a die. He fell, but caught on a limband hung dangling over the road. Just then I saw one of ray church members com ing along on horseback, and I suddenly recollected that it was the Sabbath. Not wishing to influence by bad exam ple, I stuck my gun hastily inside the fence. When tho man rode up, he said : "Good morning, Brother Barker ! I thought I heard a gun." "Did you?" I asked. "In what direction ?" Just then the dead squirrel dropped from the tree right down on the pom mel of my parishioner's saddle. We looked at each other a moment. Then I said : "Brother Roberts, I must ask you to forgive me and not to mention this little affair. I came out for a walk, and for a moment I forgot it was the holy Sabbath day." "That's all right," Brother Roberts smilingly replied. "I won't tell any body?this is a nice fat squirrel?but, my dear preacher, please tell me how did you happen to bring your gun ?" ?Louisville Courier-Journal. ? "Johnny, what is a maxim ?" "It's sr ^ething that tells how good it is to du what you don't want to." Fables Down to Date, One day the fox approached the farmer, who was working in his field and after saluting him with a great show of heartiness and friendship ob served : "I have called to have a talk with you on certain matters. For many moons I have been pained at your want of confidence in me. Why is it that you distrust me ?" "You have broken into my coop and eaten my chickens," replied the far mer. "Yes, but that was long ago, before I realized the error of my ways, i Know ye, 0 farmer, that my feelings have undergone a change and that I | now fully realize how wicked it was in me to eat your chickens." "So you don't keer fur chickens any more ?" "Not a rap, and I wish you to take me back into your confidence and trust me. I will even mount guard over your coop and keep the weasel and the ! polecat away." "That's powerful good of you," said the farmer as he leaned on his spade and wiped the sweat from his brow. "Sure you have reformed, eh ?" "Quite sure." "And you want me to trust you?" "I do. I want to show you that I am worthy of your confidence." "Waal, I'm allus willin' to extend a hand to a feller who is trying to climb up, and you kin cum along with me." "Thanks, dreadfully!" replied the fox as he chuckled behind thefarmer's back and followed him to the coop. Upon their arrival there, however, the fox found the coop empty of fowls, and in an indignant voice he demand ed : "How now, sirrah 1 I was to stand guard over your fowls, but I find none here !" "Oh, as to that," replied Uncle Reuben, "I sold the whole outfit to a peddler yesterday, but you can remain by the empty coop and inform the weasel and the polecat that"? "You go to grass, you old moRS back !" interrupted the fox as he made a bolt for the woods. Moral.?"Well I kinder thought so !" said the farmer as he looked after the fleeing Reynard. "I hev allus noticed that when a bad man sets out to reform he is figgerin on gittin a softer snap than what he had before !"?Detroit Free Press. A Few Tongue-Twisters.

At Darlington, recently, a minis ter's little daughter was attending her first church service. She had never seen her father in the pulpit befoie, and, on his entrance there, her pres ence of mind, fonook her, and she piped out, in a voice expressive of recognition : "Why, there's my papa up there in that box !" Avenging propriety swept down upon the little maiden, and for a sea son there was a great calm. But the service was grievously long to such a wee worshipper, and she became very restless, walking up and down the pew and sighing audibly. "It won't be long, dear," mamma whispered. Whereupon ensued anoth er brief period of quiet, but it was not to last. Tired baby nature had reached its utmost limit of endurance, and by and by, over the, quiet listen ers arose a little voice, clear and plausible and coaxing : "Isn't you nearly done, papa ?"

Dear Sir: Replying to jour fdvor of re .ca tdnte, asking my estimate of the value of a policy contract in the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co, of Newark, N. J., I would say that my attention was called to the ad ?ar,tag.s of owning a policy in this Company about seven years ago by a friend of mine wbo was receiving 22 per cent dividend annually on a new policy, when I whs only petting about 10 per cent on my policy of $3000 in the EquitHhlp Life and about 11 p?r cenn on my $2000 policy in the New York Life His cou tract and mine in these Companies being ?bout the same age. I gave up these poli cia? in the Equitable and N?w York Life and took out two policies ot ? OUO each io the Mc.tual Bnnefii Life and the smallpat divider fl they hav? paid me was 20 per cent '.[ carry ?OilOO besides this in other Companies, but I reg?rd the advattages offered by the Mutual B-utfit superior to any contract I have ever ox.imiced, espe daily the guaranteed facu value, the 30 per cent loan plan, the reputation foi economical management, the liberal ex totisiou features and the inrge dlvMends ' hey have credited me with for the past fix years.
