PREMONITIONS OF DEATH. Curious C< incidences Vhich Await a Natural Kvplnuatlon. "Premonitions of death aro of tc ti scouted at," ?aid a well known Wash ington newspaper man, "but tneve aro occasionally authentic Instances aris ing which raise doubts as to whether there may not bOj after all, some sort of Indefinable spiritual phenomena In the Incidents. "lt will bo recalled that a well known chief of division in one of the departments, in apparent perfect health nu the last day he appeared at the oUlec, died recently of apoplexy on that night. I have since learned that on the evening in question, short ly before he retired, a large dog in his household set ?qi such a prolonged and dismal howling in .his yard that he went out with a revolver, under the Supposition tbat there might be in truders prowling about, although the dog howled and did not bark. Tbedog refused to stop howling upon the ap proach of bis master, and followed him in the house, whining and show ing evidences of distress, looking up into the o ll lu lal', i face In such ii pecu liar manner that t ho members ol the family at thc lime thought it exceed ing strange. The dog continued to follow his master about tho house, acting strangely in the manner 1 have described. On the following morning thc ellida! was found dead in his room. .'Tho above incident is a. curious fact, as is also the following, and while not of startling ghostly Interest, is also local to Washington, the par ties being members of my own family. "Rome time ago my wife's mother started on a journey to California. Several days after lier departure an el derly colored woman, who had been a slave in her family, having been raised with my wlfo's mother, called at thc house. As In similar instances in thc South, there had been a warm attach ment existing between former mis tress and slave, which has continued through life. The old servant was visibly agitated. She declared she had been 'warned' that my wife's mo ther died at an carly hour that morn ing on the train. When asked whether she bad received a telegram to that effect she replied that she had not, but that at the hour in question she had been awakened by the ringing of thc front door bell, in responding to thc call she had found no one on the steps in each Instance, tho bell having been pulled three successive times. Her house, by thc way, was on a down town street, and was recently razed to make room for a business structure. "Atabout 10 o'clock on thc morning of the day when thc former slave had communicated the intelligence of my wife's mother's death we received ii telegram from the olllclals of the rail road, dated from a far western state, announcing her sudden death at about tho hour when the colored companion of her early childhood had heard thc pulls at the bell. Had tho bell been rung during the ordinary hours of the day we would have attached no Im portance to the former slave's positive assertion of a spiritual visitation from the deceased lady, but as lt was about ;i o'clock in thc morning the incident hits ever been one of more than usual interest in our family. If the pulls at thc bell were not supernatural, they were assuredly a strange coincidence." -Washington Star. Gantt An* Secretary ol' State. Mr. .1. T. Gantt, who is a candidate for promotion to the office of Secretary of State, deserves to succeed in this election, and doubtless will be elected, becanse of thc excellent record ho has made during a four years' incumbency as assistant Secretary of State. Mr. Gantt, luis been at all times faithful and clhcient, always at his post of duty, and ever willing and ready to go, if need bc, beyond his duty to serve those having business with this important olllce. lie luis systematized and improved the records, opened new records and dices, it nd adopted thc most approved business methods In this work. His four years' experience in the otllcc has qualllled him to carry on thc work without hitch or hindrance, and to point out needed changes and amend ments to the corporation law of thc Slate, tho enforcement of much of which devolves upon this olllce. As a result or his work, thc receipts of the olllce have Increased ton-fold-over $10,000 having been turned Into thc treasury to reduce tho burden of taxa tion last year: Tho work in which Mr. Gantt takes most, pride, however, and for which bc is best known, is the attention he has attracted to the valuable records of the State and the steps to preserve them, for which he is responsible. I leal I zing this fact, tho State commis sion requested him to prepare an ex hibit for thc Charleston exposition, and the splendid display In thc State building resulted. Thc exhibit was secured by Mr. Gantt largely florin rubbish in the State house. I tis upon this record that Mr. Gantt asks tho votes of the people, and he deserves election. -Dorchester Demo crat. _ Man Takes i Fut ul Nap. Louis L. Conway, a foreman In the New York city cleaning department, laid down on the cliff at Ono Hundred and IOighty-soventh street and the Speedway for a nap. After sleeping an hour he awoke and, in stretching, lost lils balance, rolled over the edge of the Cliff tb thc Speedway below, ii distance of KIO feet, and was instant ly killed. Conway's fatal fall was wit nessed by several pleasure seekers on the eli IV._ Killed flor Children. Mrs, Kate Wagner, wife of Ross J. Wagner, a machinist, killed her two children, aged six yens, and herself, Wednesday night, at their homo In Little Kock, Ark., by cutting their throats with a razor. No cause ls known for tho act.

HEY WAHI) PLEASED With tho Rosult of the Recent Pri mary In This Stato. HE TALKS ABOUT THE OUTCOME. Kxpt'CHHi'S His C nttilcntlon Ht tho Very IfaiitlsopitLO Voto Given Jilin in All Varia ol' South Carolina. Capt. 1). C. Hoy ward passed thl'??gli Charleston last Thursday, i route to Columbia. Capt. lleyward stated that he could not bo but Intensely gratified at the handsome vote accorded him, anti while be felt highly complimented, he accepted it as an ovidence that the great mass of voter? In ?Smith OayoHna approved of his ell'orts to conduct bis campaign on high principles, and that they were lu accord with his platform to administer tho laws of the state fairly and liri partially and fobeagov ernor of lb?; entire slate, without re gard to factional or sectional differ ences. "I certainly appreciate the vote given me by the people of Charleston," lie said. J cannot possibly thank them in person, but I felt so assured of their kind consideration that be fore the recent primary 1 devoted my tl nie elsewhere, feeling assured that Charleston would stand by me, as she has so loyally done. I hope to ho hack here In a few days and meet as many ol' my Charleston supporters as possi ble. Another gratifying feature of the recent vote was the very libera) support given mc by the mill districts. 1 have always been a friend to the la boring men, as evidenced hy the unani mous vote given mc by every laboring man who lives in my neighborhood, hilt 1 have not been in public life be fore, and had no way heretofore to prove it, ano therefore cannot but feel that tho loyal way in which the mill districts stuck by mc ls a tribute well worth cherishing, and should 1 become governor I will endeavor to prove to those worthy citizens of our state that they have not reposed their trust in me unwisely."

"They could scarcely ho better and not bo a certainty," replied Capt. lleyward, "I believe practically every vote given mc lu the tirst primary will be accorded me In the second race. In my case you sec the support was thc spontaneous expression of people to one whom they trusted, lt was, 1 take lt, a vote of love, affection and respect and they will be Just as ready to give it to me in the second race as they were In the Hist. I haye .'.cry reason to count on tho Rtippovt of tho friends of the defeated candhlates. In thc campaign J treated every one ol' my opponents fairly and gave them every possible consideration. 1 have the good will of Dr. Timmerman, Col. Tillman, C<L Talbert, and Mr. Ansel. All of them 1 count as friend ly to mo and In Mic second race I colinton receiving the bulk of thc votes of each defeated candidate. "Tile total vote, you sec, recorded up to date, is about 80,000, and using that simply as a basis, 40,000 edd votes will be required to elect. My vote ls already about 32,000, so I mere ly have to got 0,000 votes out of thc 50,000 given to my opponents to give me tho required 40,000. These figures are crude, but they are practically about thc way it will result and a blind man can therefore sec that my chances aro excellent. .Just let my supporters remain true and then usc all fair and honorable methods of In ducing tho supporters of tho defeated candidates to Join with them in their support of mo." "What about your movements, Capt. lleyward," Inquired the newspa per man. "My movements," he replied, "will be largely governed by -circumstances. My plan is, however to continue the fair, upright, honorable and high campaign which I have heretofore con ducted, and knowing and behoving, as I do, that lt meets the full approval of the State, my efforts will be to roll up a largo majori t?, so that there will be no question as to whether the peo ple of South Carolina approve of the manner of the campaign which just has been concluded." A llrtiyo Woman. Nineteen prisoners of tho county Jail at Covington, Tenn., made an attempt to break out this morning in the absence of the jailor, and nearly succeeded. They had bored through the top of the cage and were about to break through thc roof, when the wife of Jailor Smith took a hand. ?She armed a negro "trusty" and taking her husband's shot gun, covered tho prisoners and kept them still until her husband's return. The prisoiicrs were then forced to return to their cells._ No Republican Ticket. Whilo Mic Democrats arc holding primaries, tho Republicans lu their hopeless minority are keeping very quiot, says The ?State, of Columbia. There have been rumors that the Re publicans would call a convention in Scptcmher and put out a full state ticket. A leader of that party stated, tho other day, that the Republican state committee would meet In Sep tember, but he felt sure that no con vention would be called. Humed to Death. In a lire at Ochring, Neb., six peo ple lost their lives. S. ll. McCumpsey, a maclianlc, started a Uro with kero sene. Thc can exploded, igniting thc clothes of McCumpsey, his wife, two children, aged one year and four days, respectively, and two other little girls. Thc parents remained In thc burning house trying to save thcohil dron and all perished. Killed by n Trump. Police Olllcer J. ' J. Plowers was killed Just beforo daylight Thursday by two tramps, at Ressemer, Ala., while ho and Olllcer Smlthcrman wore looking for loiterers. They found two white mon In a box car and ordered thom to como out. Thc; won fcfused to do so and as FloWovA struck a match he was shot dead,' DR. LEN TOO LIBERAL. There 1? Troublo {trowing ft??' Him '.? If ?M Association. Dr. lien G. Broughton, of tho Nap! ,1st Tabernacle church, of Atlanta, scorns lo ho a Utttlo hit too liberal for tho other Baptist denominations of tho city, and they have gone after him, along with tho Christian Index, tho State Baptist organ, with a hot Iron. lt ls alleged that Dr. Broughton is rcocivlng Into his ohuroh members from "Tho (as tho Index says) Camp hcllltes and pcdo-Baptlsts" without such members being baptized by a regularly organized minister of thc Baptist faith. In other words, thc Inmersi?n by Christians or Primitive Baptists does not go "with the other Baptist chu roh es in Atlanta, and it ls hinted that Dr. Broughton will be carried up bp fore tho forthcoming session of the Swine Mountain Baptist'association,of which his che rel) is a component part. The hit ol' evidence of the liberality of thought practised by Dr. Brough ton's congregation is best told In a conversation had between a Methodist layman and a lady member of Dr. Broughtons church last Sunday night on the portico of thc Baptist Taber nacle church. "Why, Mr. Blank," asked this lady, laughing, "what ls an old Methodist like you doing down hore at a Map Us t. ohuroh?" "J don't know that I'm uta Baptist ohuroh when I'm hore," ho replied, She smilingly assented. "VYcJl, you're about half right. It ls about half way between Baptist and Metho dist," and that closed tho incident. Dr. Broughton and his church is popular with all other denominations in the city, except thc Catholics, and most of his audience every Sunday night ls composed of numbers of other congregations and non-ohuroh mem bers. TERROR OF CONGO STATE. Octopus Frequents Caverns mid Devours Men's Bruins. A Belgian olllcer Just returned from the Congo Free State reports that in tho caverns ot thc (jello river there dwells a species of octopus that pre sents a gravp danger to all who navi gate tho river In small boats, say an Antwerp cable to the Philadelphia Ledger. The strange boasts arc oajlod "meg we" by the natlves. and aro very num erous In the neighborhood of tho sta tion of thc A mauls, owing to tho num ber of rooks and caves in that relgon. They attaelM.he native canoes, ?apslz Ing them easily with their tentacles, and according to their state of hunger, seizing one or two men. Tho octopus drags lils human ni cy to lils cavern, and there, without minut ing tho slightest external wounds, .feeds on his victim's brains hy Insert ing the points of his tentacles In his nostrils. Ile generally keeps his prey llftccn hours, then lets the body lloat out oil the river. "I was an eyewitness toa disaster of this kind," says the Belgian. "A canoe was capsized In tho river and ono of thc three occupants disappear ed. When thc survivors swam ashore they told us that an octopus had turn ed over their boat and carried off their companion. "The next morning about 0 o'clock tho body was found lloating and rio trace of any wound could be found, while thc only abnormal appearance was the swollen state of thc nostrils. On examination lt was found that tho brains had been extracted. The natives of the Uellc all dread thc 'megwe' while those of thc Itimhri know nothing of its existence." Made tho First Hovolver. Joseph Shirk, formerly of Lancas ter, Penn., the man who made the llrst revolver, died thc other day. The present generation hardly imagines a time when there was no revolver, but in truth lt is a modern weapon and in its real elllclcncy only a few years old -not to exceed 10. Before the civil war there were tho old-fashioned pep per boxes, which were dangerous to the user; then came tho "navy," which had to bc loaded Uko a musket, each barrel requiring separate atten tion, and usually being Ineffective ex cept at point-blank range. Jim Was Mistaken. .Just before the primary election .Jim Tillman furnished this modest predic tion for publication In tho Atlanta Constitution: "I am perfectly conll dent I will bc the next governor of South Carolina. It may not bc pos sible for me to win in the llrst pri mary, though I may; I will not lie many votes shy of a clear majority. I am sure of winning In the second pri mary." Child Killed hy Cow. At Hines, Ala., tho thlrtoon-yoars old daughter of William llolloman, Jr., was leading a cow to pasturo, and slipped the rope over her wrist. Thc cow was frightened and ran away Into the bushes, dragging thc child behind her. N(i ono saw tho accident and sh? was unconscious when found. Sho died that night. A Fatal Swim. A special froip Miles City says that Sergeant Moon, of troop II, Thirteenth cavalry, was drowned while attempt ing to swim the Yellowstone river. His body has not yet hoon recovered, though detachments of soldiers from I?\nt Keough havo been actively en gaged in a search for it., l'owor of t ho Proas. Tho Columbia Stato says: "That newspapor opposition ls more effective than 'newspaper support ls again Demonstrated in this campaign. It was undoubtedly owing to tho light of thc press, practically solid, that "Jim" Tillman carno out sa far be hind." _ Five Wore Drownod, Fivo mourners of a boating party of six employes of tho Battle Creek sani tarium were drowned Thursday hight ?In '?

Our \ scheme of public school education in ( tho country, in many places, is scarce- j ly worthy the namo, and ls hardly moro than excuses for schools, says , the Baptist Union. With miserable | houses, only tho most simple and j snide apparatus, poorly equipped | teachers, only a few months In ses- | don, and with Inadequate direction ind siipcrhitendonco, it is quite im possible to havo such schools as tho times demand. It ls high timo our people were moved in this matter. < Public schools have come to stay, and 1 they must bc made adequate to the 1 tjreat work committed to them. Tho 1 best mon In thc country should bo i mado superintendents and school com- 1 missioners, and should give them- ] selves with great seriousness and in- i clustry to thc charge of thc duties of i this oflleo. Tho best men In thc j community should deem lt an ?honor to be pormltted to servo on tho school board. Fewer and better houses i should bc secured, trained and mature teachers employed and more months occupied. Theso things our people ? should demand and continue to de mand until thoy are secured. Let it bo understood that our schools are not simply to furnish employment to thc favorite daughters of a neighborhood, but a place for 'honest and hard work on tlio part of men and women that ? have been highly and thoroughly i trained for their Ufo work. Lot our peoplo bo stirred to serious thought and action in these tilings, and not take it for granted that things aro bound to . remain as they aro.
