DYING OF MAD DOG'S BITE.
, Dog Sprang Into Face of Matthew
Berman, Biting His Underlip Off.
Elberton, Ga., Oct. 28.?Mr. Matthew
Berman, who was bitten four
weeks ago by a mad dog, is now
awaiting a most awful end, that of
death from hydrophobia. Physicians
in charge say that he has all the
symptons, and that it is simply a
question of time when the end will
, come.
He is fully aware of his condition,
and has accepted the dreadful truth
with the calmness of a stoic, lying
on his bed very quietly, except when
seized with a paroxyism of trembling.
At the sight of water, or even the
mention of it he immediately makes
a noise like that of a dog barking.
The physicians say this is really not
V > a bark, as is supposed to be the case,
i>. but that water is so repugnant to his
? system that the mere thought of it
acts upon the muscles in such a manner
as to force the air out of the
" \ lungs, thus producing the noise so
iv> much like the bark of a dog.
On the night of October 1st, while
returning from his store, a dog
sprang into the face of Mr. Berman,
biting his underlip entirely off. It
' .was too dark to see the dog, which
M-\. Immediately disappeared, and it was
<:? impossible to say whether or not it
fig* was mad.
Mr. Berman went to Atlanta to the
Pasteur Institute the following day
and took the treatment there for two
weeks, at the end of which time he
iL- returned to Elbcrton, continuing the
treatment at home. The physicians
at the institute told him at the time
ik that he could not have been bitten
&vv in a worse place. He seemed to be
BP# <getting along nicely, however, and
Safe not until last night did any symptoms
of hydrophobia appear.
Mr. Berman is a highly respected
merchant of Elberton, having been in
business here for a number of years.
;>f He hds a wife and several children.
' The entire city is stirred up over
k the . calamity and there is some fear
0.-, th'.c the dog, which was never found,
J; vv, may have bitten other dogs. To pre"v
vent, as far as possible, any danger
1,^ . from this source, the city has passed
jfej-an ordinance that all dogs allowed
to run at large, must be muzzled,
which law has already gone into effe:vfect
Dies in Agony.
fe&iA. Elberton, Ga., Oct. 29.?Matthew
^ feerman, the merchant who was bitten
by a mad dog on the night of October
1st, died last night at 11
o'clock, after an illness of two days
from hydrophobia.
Iy . Mr. Berman did not become violent
t until yesterday afternoon before his
m, death. One great fear in his lucid |
[moments seemed, to be that he would
Injure somebody. About 6 o'clock he
i broke loose from his attendants and
jumped through the window. He
was brought back to the house, but
later broke away again, and running
to the bath room drank water as if
; be could never get enough. He
/ seemed to be burning up with thirst.
L^ter last night he asked that he be
strapped to his bed, and this request
p: - ,was complied with.
j||g: Just before he died, after one of
his paroxisms, he asked that every
one leave his room. Though strapped
to the bed his fear that he would injure
some one was so great that he
wanted to be alone. It was soon after
this, while alone, that he died.
ft " Stray Shot Killed Negro Boy.
; ^Laurens, Oct. 28.?Quite an unfortunate
accident, since accident it app'r.
pears to have been from present re& ,
ports, occurred late yesterday afterjfev'
noon in the western part of the city,
When Abe Shell, a little negro boy,
ip aged six was shot through the bowels
with either a pistol or rifle, inflict\
ing a wound that proved fatal. The
boy was standing in the front yard
4 : r\t hia home near the Dower house
' w^en be was bit. He at once went to
#(} ' bed, where his mother coming in a
?P^ little later found him. She communicated
with the police seeking medical
aid for her" child which was secured.
^ It is reported that two or three young
v,. v white hoys of the city were in the
Copeland woods nearby shooting and
-K the supposition is that a stray shot
from their guns or pistois struck the
negro boy.
'c After being shot the boy lived about
-iV fifteen hours.

^ V! Minister to Pay Fine.
fcv Atlanta, Oct. 27.?Rev. Walt Holcombe,
son-in-law of the late Rev.
Sam P. Jones, must pay the penalty
inflicted by the court in Cartersville
after he was convicted of using objectionable
language in the presence
T: of ladies. For the court of appeals
Bald as much to-day in a decision affirming
the decision of the lower
court and which declared that the
- . defendant was clearly guilty.
Holcombe was charged with having
referred to a woman in the congregation
in an indecent and offensive
manner, was tried and convicted.
The decision is a lengthy one and
goes into discuss what sort of language
is meant by the law covering

CUL^r 4U^OHVU. x IX oyvuuiu^ VTA. AAV*
combe's conduct the court says:
/- "It was not the ribaldry of some
low grade comedian in some second
class theatre, it was the indecent jest
of a minister of the gospel made in a
house devoted to the service of God,
in the presence o" some three thousand
worshippers, aimed at a female
member of the congregation."
The case created a big sensation in
Cartersville at the time. The offense
was committed by Holcombe in the
Tabernacie in that city.
Mr. RiCe Withdraws.
On Tuesday Mr. Hayne F. Rice entered
the race for alderman and signed
his pledge and paid the fee for
entrance. Aftrwards, however, he
discovered that ne was not eligible,
inasmuch as he now holds an office
of trust, being a member of the State
Board of Education. The law prescribes
that no man can hold two offices
of trust and honor.
When Mr. Rice saw this he withdrew
immediately. As he was the fourteenth
man, his withdrawal leaves
the unlucky thirteen to do the battle
of the ballots.?Aiken Journal and

STORY OF A NIGHT RIDER.
Ted Burton Tells of Part He Played
in Putting Captain Quentin Rankin
to Death.
Tiptonville, Tenn., Oct. 28.?"Ted"
Burton, the self-confessed night rider,
told a remarkable story to-day of
night-rider depredations near Reel
Foot lake, concerning the part he
played in the outrages which reached
a culmination in the putting to death
of Captain Quentin Rankin, an attorney
of Trenton, Tenn., on the banks
of Reel Foot lake a week ago, and
implicating men prominent in this
part of the State.
Of the persons who he declares
had a part in the killing of Captain
Rankin more than half are now in
custody at Camp Nemo, the military
base near Samburg. The confession
was made at the Tiptonville jail to
Sheriff Haines, Judge Harris, owner
of a large tract of land in the Reel
Foot lake region who has suffered
at thA hands of the riders and
LUUVU MV v*** ?- ?
Mayor Cleveland Donelson of Tiptonville.
The confession was made freely
voluntarily and apparently without a
qualm of conscience he glibly unfolded
his story.
While Burton denies that he was
present when Captain Rankin, was
put to death, he admits it was
through information given by him
that the band congregated and took
the attorney while he was staying at
the hotel at Walnut Log.
According to Burton's confession,
Tom and Garret Johnson, under arrest,
and William Watson, under bond
in connection with another raid, were
the leaders of the band.
Burtpn declares that the first part
he played as a member of the nightrider
band was when he aided in the
burning of a fish wharf at Samburg.
Several weeks later he was one of the
several that crossed the county line
from the Reel Foot region into the
adjoining county of Lake, and whipped
Justice of the Peace. Winn, an
aged man.
Coming to the killing of Capt. Rankin,
Burton declared that on the
night before the lynching he went to
Walnut Log and there met James
F. Carpenter, an attorney of Union
City, at whose solicitation Rankin
and Judge R'. Z. Taylor, associated in
the West Tennessee Company, owners
nf thp land on which the lake is sit
uated, came to the'lake. It was stated
that the visit of the two attorneys
was to discuss a timber deal with
Carpenter. After the conversation
Burton says he communicated with
the night-rider leaders and told of
the intended visit of the representatives
of the land company.
On the following night he saw the
two attorneys at supper at the Walnut
Log Hotel, but he declares he
left Walnut Log early in the night
and went out on the lake to fish. He
says that he was fishing when he
heard the shots which ended the life
of Captain Rankin, hut he did not return
to the shore for some time.
In his confession Burton gave the
names of no fewer than forty alleged
members of the night riders.

decided the woman killed the
child and then suicided with the
same weapon, her husband's razor.
The woman left a letter to her husband,
in which she declared she loved

New Pastorate Formed. "
Lodge, Oct. 17.?St. John's in
Bamberg County,' Carter's Ford and
Smoaks churched in Colleton have
united into a pastorate for the next
associational.year and have called the
Rev. George A. Martin to be pastor.
Rev. Martin comes from Williamston,
in Anderson county, and is a young ,
man of splendid ability. He brings
with him the best wishes of a host
of friends in his former home. .The
The Association meeting is near
at hand and wfe hope to have one of

The Origin of Woman.
According to a Hindoo legend this
is the proper origin of. woman:
Twashtri, the god Valcan of the HinTYiTrfhAl/Mrxr
fVio nnrlH
UUV UL1/ WUV1V5 J y V4 VMVVV& VUV
but on his commencing to create woman,
he discovered that for man he
had exhausted all his creative materials,
and that not one solid element
had been left. This, of course,
greatly perplexed Twashtri, and caused
him to fall into a profound meditation.
When he aroused from it
he proceeded as follows. He took:
The roundness of the moon.
The undulating curve of the serpent.
The graceful twist of the creeping
plant.
The light shivering of the grassblade
and the slenderness of the willow.
The velvet of the flowers.
The gentle gaze of the doe.
The frolicsomeness of the dancing
sunbeam.
The tears of the cloud.
The inconsistency of the'wihd.
The vanity of the peacock.
i. UU llllliuilj Ui (,11V lldl V?
The hardness of the diamond.
The cruelty of the tiger.
The chill of the snow.
The cackling of the parrot.
The cooing of the turtle dove.
All these he mixed together and
formed a woman.
And he presented her to man.

SENSATION AT WEDDING.
Veiled Woman Presents Child to
Groom at Altar.
A most sensational event took
place at a wedding at Fall River,
Mass., Tuesday. The marriage of
Charles J. Regan, banker, and Miss
Mary B. Chadwick was the social
event of the season. The church
was filled with friends. After the
ceremony the bride and members of
the wedding party started down the
aisle as the wedding march was played.
A closely veiled woman, clad in
black, rose, picked up a four-year-old
boy and held out to Mr. Regan.
"Stop, Charles Regan!" she cried.
Miss?Miss Sullivan!" gasped Reagan.
"Yes, it's I," answered the woman.
"Here he is; here is your child; I've
taken care of him for four years.
Now you must take him?you or your
wife."
The woman turned and walked
out. The bride fainted and friends
were horror-stricken. Regan stood
alone in the church aisle, holding in
nis arms iue uau>, wuu waa
for his mother.
When the bride revived she returned
to her home alone. Mr. Reagan
left town, refusing to make
known his destination. He took the
child with him.
Haveners Man Disappears.
Ravenel's, October 28.?Mr. E. J.
Baker left home on the 10th instant
under circumstances that led to the
conclusion that his mind was unbalanced.
The family have opposed
all publication, believing they would
succeed in tracing him. They now
invoke the aid of the newspapers.
Mr. Baker was a general favorite,
possessing, in addition to his capacity
as a mechanic, a genial disposition
an# being kind and obligihg to all.
He is 61 years of age. About a year
and a half ago he married a daughter
of Mr. Rozier Miller, with whom
he lived happily up to the day of his
disappearance. On that day his wife
went to her father's on an errand
for him, and while she was gone he
wrote a letter to her, couched in the
most endearing terms, telling her
that he was going away and that she
must not grieve for him. He then
packed his grip and left. The letter
stated that he was going to the sea 4
to take his last bath and that he did
not want any one to see him after
he was dead. But he went towards
Adams Run and was tracked nearly
to that place. Nothing has been
heard of him since he left.
It is said that he was raised some

a great traveller and has been nearly .
"all over the United States. There is
a report that he has a daughter in 1
Louisiana; but he denied having
been married before.
There was no domestic trouble, and 1
he was making money and doing 1
j well. Mrs. Baker is very much distressed
over the matter.

The correspondents of Rev. E. M. .
Lightfoot will hereafter address him
North Augusta, S. C., instead of Orangeburg.
He closed his pastorate =
at the latter place last Sunday and
has moved to North Augusta and will
enter upon his work as pastor of our
church in that growing town. During
his pastorate of the Orangeburg
church 203 members were received
into the membership of the church.
His ministry there has been greatly
blessed and Bro. Lightfoot has a
very strong hold on the affections
and confidence of the people. We
wish, for him continued usefulness
and happiness in his work at North

Youth Killed by Brother.
Valdosta, Ga., Oct. 29.?News was
received here to-day of the shooting
of Alfred Boon by his brother, Babe
Boon, in Echols county late yesterday
afternoon, inflicting wounds from
jvhich the former is not expected to
recover. The men are both under
"" "p n TOftll VnftTOTI

farmer in that county.
It is said the trouble grew out of
the fact that Babe Boon had chastis =
ed a younger sister, which was resented
by his brothers, Arthur and Alfred.
A fisticuff followed, after which
Babe Boon secured a pistol and shot
)his brother Alfred as the latter, attempted
to catch the weapon. The ball
entered Alfred Boon's face just under
the eye, tearing out his teeth on that
side and probably lodging at the base
of the skull.
* Branson Hotel Burned.
Bfunson, October 28.?The Branson
Hotel, occupied by Mr. C. W.

fire this morning at 3 o'clock. The
Origin of the fire is unknown, as the
building was almQst completely destroyed
before it was discovered, the
occupants barely escaping with their
lives. All who occupied the second .
floor were compelled to use the porch "
columns as a means of escape. Miss

Evangelist Victimized Girls.
' Baltimore, Md., Oct. 27.?Frederick
O'Donnell, known as the "blind
evangelist," wanted in Baltimore on
the charge of larceny and false pretenses,
has been arrested in Seattle. (
O'Donnell came to Baltimore last j"
April and started an evangelistic J
campaign. At one of the revival
meetings he became acquainted
with a Miss Ella Owens, of
St. Paul's street, and after a brief
courtship, became engaged to her.
During this courtship, he learned j
that she had a sister living in New |
York, and he also visited the latter,1,
and engaged himself to her. 1<
While engaged to the sisters, it is.<
alleged, O'Donnell inveigled them in-;<
to advancing him several hundred dol- j <
lars, with which, he said, he was go- i j
ing to purchase a moving picture i
machine, with which to illustrate his i
lectures. A Baltimore detective will J
go to Seattle to bring O'Donnell back. <
