AFTER 100 YEARS.
Rev. S. T. Hallman x'ells Unusual
Story.
fy
Rev. Dr. S. T. Hallman told a reporter
of The Spartanburg Herald a
very wonderful story relative to the
exhumation of the body of a preacher
after it had been in the grave over
100 years. The facts were supplied
him by people who were thoroughly
conversant with them and whom he
served as preacher twenty years ago.
They are persons of unimpeachable
veracity. Here is the remarkable nar?
rative in Dr. Hallmans own words:
* "As far back as 1750 there were a
few German Liutneran tuua-noo m
| this state, among which was the old
St. John's Lutheran church in Newberry
county. The land on which the
building*stood was held under a grant
from George III, King of England.
"These immigrants who had come
here to escape the religious persecution
of the old country found it very
difficult to get pastors from their
Fatherland. There was then in the
community of St. Joihn's church a
German school teacher by the name
? of Frederick ' Joseph Wallern?a <
learned man, but not then an ordained
preacher. This the writer was told
by the very old people of that section
when, years ago, he was pastor
there.
"T?ne peopie, m iueir uuugci
'the preached word, and for the sacrament
of the church, naturally turned
to their scholarly teacher and
~ plead with him to fill that sacred office.
He finally consented and bes
came pastor of that' church. History
has not recorded the duration of his
pastoral labors but he died in 1816,
and had begun his services there
sometime in 1787. He was buried in
a wooded section near his home.
Eg;.-*--- There his body reposed for one hundred
and four years, a suitable inscribed
stone marking his place of
Sp?i; rest"Then
the pastor of St. Paul's
church near by, (the Rev. S. P. Koon)
and officers and friends, decided to
remove his remains to the church
3 cemetery where his grave would be
p'.'" cerefully kept. When -his body was
lfo-v' taken up the skeleton of the man
was there in its entirety, the teeth
~ showing the dental work of long ago,
and the arm ligaments so firm that a
physician who was present could not
pull the fore-arm of the elbow socket;
nor were the bones separated at the
f, -: - -
wrists nor were any of the bones decayed.
Parts of the lining of the
walnut coffin remained, with the
I tacks which were used.
"A strange fact remains to be told.
The root of a tree had made its way
down on one side of his coffin bed
. passed around this feet, and up on the
other side, and then twining about
his head, as though intended to hold
the precious remains together.
p ' - "iJeyoni an question nere is uie
stamp of God's approval on the gospel
ministry of one who surrendered
the office of teacher for that of winning
souls to Christ. God, who knows
the end from the beginning, watches
over his remains over one hundred ?
years, and now suffers the silent
voice jOf Rev. Frederick Joseph Wallern
to speak in tones of infinite force
to the age of growing skepticism." \
Doctor First.
A motor car was careering down a j
beautiful truly rural country lane,
with millions of twists and turns,
when, suddenly swinging around one
of the corners, the driver found a hay
wagon about two yards ahead of him.
!-: . As the car was traveling at thirty
miles an hour and the wagon at three
miles an hour, the odds seemed on a
collision. Before an honest man had
time to place the bet with a bookmaker,
the collision occurred.
The driver on the hay wagon was
thrown into the road on his head and
lay there in a sem-conscious condition
until the two occupants of the
|?| . motor car lifted him to the side of
the lane.
Another rustic came up at that moment
and upon inquiries the motorfin

houses were an undertaker's shop,
two miles in one direction, and a doctor's
house which they had passed,
one mile and three-quarters behind
them on the road they had just come
along.
"Shall we take him to the undertaker's
shop or back to the doctor's?"
asked the first of the motorists.
The victim of the accident raised
his head and cried:
"Take me to the doctor's first, you
5fools!"

one day Jackie at once proceeded to
the rabbit hut. From inside the
house his mother could hear him
questioning the rabbits thus: "Twice
"two?" no answer. Again. "Twice
two?" Still no answer. "Why on
earfch are you talking to the rabbits
in that fashion, Jackie?" she asked.
"Well, mother, teacher told us this
morning that rabbits multiply very
quickly, but I thought all along she
was wrong."

With Wife Pleading; With Him, Sam
Skelton Sends Bullet Through Head.
Greenville, Sept. 11.?As his
wife was in the act of warning him to
be careful with a revolver which he
held to his head, Sam Skelton, 25
years of age, bookkeeper of this city,
blew his brains out at the house in
which he lived on P"r'r street here
this afternoon.
Young Skelton had been exhibiting
the pistol to some friends that were
spending the day with him and had
offered to sell the weapon to one of
them. When he became careless in
handling the pistol, he was warned
to be careful. He then unbreached
the pistol, and, as he thought, ail
of the cartridges fell out. It was then
that he held the weapon to his temple,
apparently to demonstrate that
there was no harm in it and, pulling
the trigger, shot himself through
the head with the one cartridge that
remained in the chamber.
w?fp bavins' heard the warn
ing of his friends, stepped to the
door, and as she begged him to. be
careful the fatal shot was fired. Young
Skelton lived about forty-five minutes
after he was shot, though the
bullet went clear through his head,
spattered his brain on the floor and
lodged in the wall beyond. He never
regained consciousness, however.
Mf. Skelton was bookkeeper for
the Riverside Company, a concern
established by his father, S. O. Skelton
several years ago.
FLAMES DESTROY HOME.
Lightning Had Struck House Twice
Previously?Barn Also Lost.
Allendale, Sept. 10.?J. S. Rice, a'
prominent tarmer living near nere,
lost a residence with its entire contents
last night. Mr. Rice and his
family were not at home, having
spent the night in the town of Allendale
with relatives. The residence
was a new one and the total loss
from the fire with the furniture,
amounted to perhaps $8,000, the
same being a total loss, the insurance
on the dwelling and contents having
lapsed a few days ago. The source
of the fire can not be ascertained.
It is somewhat of a coincidence that
the house has been struck by lightning
twice previous to its burning,
and Mr. Rice a few weeks ago lost
a fine barn by fire which ;is supposed
to have been set by lightning. While
there was a little lightning last
night, it was not of a violent nature
and this theory of the source of the
destructive flames is hardly probable.
There is some talk that the
fire might have been the result of
firebrands with an idea of robbery
before the fire.

SCARED BY A SKELETON.
\ '
Dancing Bones Caused a Real Panic
on Broadway.
Some one, somewhere in New York,
has lost a skeleton. It is a perfectly
good skeleton, all wired and with a
spike in its head. It is described as
a woman's skeleton, of uncertain age
and when last seen was wearing a
black necktie, relates a recent New
York dispatch.
The skeleton appeared on Bradway
shortly after 9 o'clock last evening,
ariri for more than an hour terrorized
women, children, chorus girls and
dogs, scattered restaurant patrons
and interrupted traffic.
Johnnie Berry, thirteen, of No. 105
West 68th street, and half a dozen
companions discovered the skeleton
propped against a tree in a vacant lot
adjoining the College of Pharmacy at
No. 115 West 68th street. The idea
of the black necktie, as an ornament,
occurred first to Johnnie. It was some
one else who thought of a piece of
rope. Then the procession moved, j
Across the street it halted and the
skeleton was placed on. the bottom j
step of the flight leading to the door

of a house. Two women, about to
emerge, fled, shrieking, back indoors.
Johnnie and the skeleton moved
west toward Broadway. They paused
at the Harbor Inn restaurant at the
corner of 69 th street. The restaurant
was well filled with diners. Then
the skeleton appeared at the door. It
moved, it danced, Johnnie and the
boys danced too. Women screamed,
covered their faces with their hands
and rushed to the rear of the restaurant.
Patrolman Schnaidle of the West
68th street station, gasped and rubbed
his eyes. The transparent figure was
certainly doing a dance?a dance in
the altogether, and Broadway morals
were in jeopardy. The patrolman
acted promptly.
Straight across Broadway went
Johnnie. And also across Broadway,
trailing at the length of a rope went
the skeleton. Also across Broadway
went Johnnie's companions. After
them went the patrolman, who collared
Johnnie. Then he collared the
skeleton and next he gathered in
some of Johnnie's friends. Together
they started for the 68th street station.
