A MYSTERY IN LifOOMINa COUNTY.
Part of the Remains of a Corpse Discover
ed in the Woods.
A YOUNG MAN'S C.HASTLY FIND.
The citizens of Caramel have been
living in a state of suppressed excite
ment since Thursday evening, because
of a miraculous yarn told by a young
man of 20, who, while coming through
the woods from English Centre, came
across a ghastly find a human hand.
The wayfarer lost his way when about
two miles from Cammel, which took
him into the wildest recesses of the
forest. Evening was fast approaching,
and as the young fellow did not fancy
the idea of spending the night in so
undesirable a place he kept pushing
on, trusting more to luck than any
thing else to bring him to English
Centre or some habitation where he
might rest free from the dangers
which lurk in this region. In pushing
his way through an opening into a
spot less densely grown with shrubbery
and trees, the young feliow declares
that he found a vest lying on the
ground, and fastened to one of the
lapels was an emblem of the I. O. O.
F. He removed the trinket, and on
looking around discovered a felt hat
lying nearby. After a casual glance
of the surroundings the young man
started off again, but had hardly gone
two paces when he barely missed step
ping on a human hand. The shock
following the horrible discovery ren
dered him speechless for a brief in
terval, but with an effort he regained
his secses, and without waiting to pur
sue investigations any further, dashed
off as fast as his weary legs would
carry him. Toward nightfall he reach
ed Cammel in an exhausted condition.
At Hostrander's boarding house, where
he put up for the night, he related his
adventure, designating the spot as
best he could, where the ghastly find
was located.
The following day a posse of twenty
five citizens, with the young man m
the lead, started on a search to inves
tigate what to them looked like a
murder. The place was discovered
after a diligent and protracted hunt,
the vest and the outstretched hand
were wanted to establish credulity to
the story as related by the hero of the
adventure. Despite the evidence
which was wanting to give the slight
est foundation to the yarn, the young
fellow stoutly maintained that he was
telling the truth. There are quite a
number of citizens who are disposed
to pursue the investigation further, and
the probabilities are that another party
will be organized this week to make
another effort to verify the story of
the ghastly find and clear up the
mystery.

HAS GONE INTO A TRANOE.
THE PREDICTION OK A FANATIC IN
SULLIVAN COUNTY FULFILLED.
The following article appeared in
the Plii'adelphia Times on Wednes
day. ,
Williamsport, September j.
The little town of Laporte, Sullivan
county, on the top of the Allegheny
mountains, along the line of the Wil
liamsport and North Branch Railroad,
is experiencing a rare sensation. A
man named Cresno has gone into a
trance, and every effort thus far has
failed to revive him. Cresno has been
a resident of Laporte for eight years,
working for the Union Tanning Com
pany. Where he came from no person
knows, and nothing is known of his
life previous to the time that he ar
rived at Laporte. He spoke of him
self very little, and was a peculiar fel
low. He was a good workman, and was
always deeply interested in religious
matters. His spare time during the
past vear or more has been devoted
to a religious work he had purchased,
and some time ago he announced as
his belief that Christ had not yet be
come a living person, and that he was
destined to perform many miracles
that are prophesied in the Bible. He
also stated that on September 2, 1895,
he would go into a trance, and remain
in that state forty days and forty niehts.
Little attention was paid to these
remarks, but yesterday, when those
who had heard him talk thus learned
that he had actually gone into a trance,
they were surprised, not to say alarm
ed. The people at his boarding
house, fearing that he was dead or
dying, sent for two Laporte physicians,
who said that Cresno was by no means
dead. They did everything in their
power to revive him, but failed. Then
two physicians from Dushore were
sent for. They also pronounced the
man in a trance. The medicine usu
ally given person while in that state
was administered, but to no avail.
The four worked yesterday and to
day, and have effected no change in
Cresno's condition. Except that he
has not changed color, Cresno is to
all appearances as dead as a door
nail.
