TURNED TO STONE. A Strange Story from Claiborne County, Tennessee. A Itig Green Cloud Iiuise Over the Lick Skillet Country nd I'otrllies Iloga u Well as a Field or Corn The , Yarn of the Season. Tho pcoplo in the eastern portion of Claiborne County, Tenn., arc excited over a remarkable occurrence which took place there not long ao. It is ono of the most marvelous occurrences ever heard of, and it will prove to be a prob lem over which scientific minds may wrestle for some time to come. Edgar Ramsey is a farmer who lives five miles from Lick Skillet. He ar rived in Middlesboro recently. The story he told would not find believers at first, but since then it has been proven that he has told nothing but the truth. Ilia statement is thus reported by a corre spondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Last Sunday afternoon I .noticed what appeared to be a larpo preen-look-inff cloud coming from a westerly direc tion toward my house. It was a long distance off, and Hie rain was falling heavily. Shortly afterward it became very cold, in fact so cold that I went in doors, lit a big lire and put on a heavy coat. When I came out agai big green cloud was almost ov' house, and tho air was as coU M on a winter day. The wind hov-l and the hail fell in stones as bir a3 VZZ this lasied twenty minn and thc sky cleared up and I-i' more hko my self again. "An hour afte wa8 sitting with raj wife near the nn 1 hrd horse galloping at n 8Pood' aml whPn 'c,nt out to see"0 il 'as tnoro stood Jake Warrei a neighbor farmer who lives aboua mile and a quarter from me. He vv as pale as a ghost and was trembling Mi over. It took him over ten minutes . to commence to tell me what he had to say, and as he was talking I thought ho was crazy. "lie stated that a big green cloud had conic over his place, and that something which looked like ballsof fire had fallen all around his house. He had five acres of corn growing in a field next to the house. After the storm had cleared away ho went to soo what damage had been done. Ho saw that some corn had been blown down, and, entering the field, ho found every stalk turned to stone. Thero wero two fino hogs in the field, and they, too, wero petrified and standing there as if cut out of solid rock. Myself and wife thought tho man was raving mad, but induced him to remain over till morning, when we promised to visit his placo with him. That we did, and what wo saw will be remem bered so long as loth live. Thero waa the corn blown down, but every stalk of it was petrified. It was not as hard as granite, but it appeared to be more like soft stone. I took my knife and cut it, and it became powder. The ears were very hard, and they could not be broken with the hand. The leaves were brittle, and and if you struck them they would break like glass. The nogs were there, too, looking natural enough, but they wero as hard a- stone." lieorgo E. Henry, of this city, John Kogors, Captain John R Hull, ex-deputy marshal, and several others rode over the mountains into Tennessee to (e for themselves if tho things were really thero as represented. Captain Hull. ex-L'nited States deputy marshal, makes the following statement: "Wo went over this 'morning. I doubted the story on starting, but thought I'd try it, anyhow. We found Warren's farm about seven miles from tho (lap, and thero, sure enough, was the corn-field completely petriiled. Tho stalks were somewhat blown down, but they seemed completely turned to stone. The two hogs were thero also, and they looked like they were carved out of rock. It was the strangest sigiit I ever saw and I can't begin to describe the thing. Thero wero a number of men guarding the field with Winchester rilles and they wouldn't let us go into it. They only let us go to the fence. Wo could touch some of tho corn stalks and could see tho hogs, but the men re fused positively to let us go any further than the fence. Tho women wouldn't say why they would not let people go Into tho field, but I presume they wero afraid people would break tho corn stalks to pieces. Thero was quite a crowd there looking at tho thing, and every one w:.s thoroughly dutufounded with what they saw." This statement i.i vouched for by a number of others, and naturally there is considerable excitement. i FIDDLED HIS WAY. (low a, Cenn Agent Obtained Some Val uable Information. The following, says tho Washington Star, is an extract from a letter re ceived from a special 'agent of the United States census detailed to got data for tho fish and fisheries of South. Carolina: . ---. "I must tell you how I worked B . I got thero late on Friday evening and found everybody mum as an oyster. I was in despair until at last I heard a man playing a fiddle In ono of tho Stores. I went in at once, and after loafing around awhilo asked to see tho fiddle. When I got it I drew the bow over the strings, said it was a good ono and handed it back; but they saw I could play and insisted I should try, so I took oif my coat and sailed in. From that moment my stock went up. In an hour I had half the folks in town in tho store, the proprietor was doing a rush ing business and so was I. I finally put down tho fiddlo and addressed tho crowd, told them my business and Bald that though 1 was willing to play for them I must attend to my work first, and invited all who were engaged in fishing to walk rup and sign tho pledgo. Nothing was too good for me. They wanted to fill mo up on beer, and I had more cigars than I could smoke. They refused to let ino set em up a single time, and when I wanted to leave town they begged mo to stay, or, if I would go, to como back and locate. They hunted up all the men I wanted and brought them to mo or took me to them in a buggy. I was treated liko a prince. Ono poor dwil (colored) refused to answer my ques tions, and one of my enthusiastic as sistants cracked hi m on the head with a beer bottle so that ho had t bo car ried from the field in a disabled con dition. :.- 'Well, I had a time, but I got every body there was to get." "" liesslo Crlawell's Heroism. An extraordinary case of heroism is narrated in the Philadelphia Ptess. IJessie Criswcll, aged fourteen, living three miles from Dauphin, was about to prepare supper last Wednesday when she found tho fire in the cook stove very low. She poured coal oil on the kind ling wood. It ignited, tho can ex ploded and tho burning oil set fire to her clothing and to tho house. Tho girl ran to tho spring-houso twice while her clothes wero blazing, secured a pail of water each time and put out tho fire in tho house. A third time sbo went to tho spring and dipped her head and neck in the water. Then she ran to a small stream and threw herself in.

Gruesome Mltlnleht Scene In the Convict GrsTe-Vsril at Aulrarn. That portion of Tort Hill Cemetery in Auburn which faces the poorest and most desolate part of the city is known as the "convicts" burying ground," says the New York Sun. Xothinp divides it from the costly tombs and towering headstones of marble that mark ttio space devoted to the righteous dead save a lino of rapped, sickly grass that tells where the lawn-mowers stop. The entrance to the Jod's Acre of thecon vict dead is on a bide street, and is guarded by. a pretty cottape in which lives a grave-dipper and his wife. The mystery attending the burial of William Kt mmler was only second to tho mystery surrounding the prepara tions for his death. It will bo remem bored that he was tortured to death by electricity early on the morning of Au gust fi, and that a few hours later the knives of the surgeons were buy cut ting tho body to pieces. There was some doubt concerning the section of law relating to the burial of the body, and when the watchers about the prison on tho night following the execution saw no sign of any funeral it was gen erally believed that the body had been covered with quick-lime and buried be neath one of tho flagstones of the prison yard. Late in the after noon of tho next day the grave digger in charge of the convict bury ing ground received oriiers to have a gravo ready for a body at ten o'clock that night. The grave was dug, and when ten o'clock came without bringing the expectod body, the grave digger turned the light down low in the sitting-room of his cottage and went to sleep in his working clothes. His wife lay on a bed in front of a window keep ing watch on the street, so that 6he might wake her husband when the body arrived. - - .--- . Meantime men in charge of what was left ef the dead murderer's body bad placed it In an express wagon at 9:30 o'clock, and had driven out of the prison gate. There was a knot of men on the sidewalk who immediately showed signs of excitement when tho wagon ap peared. It was instantly decided that these men wero reporters, and the driver of the wagon, in accordance evi dently with the orders of Warden Dura ton to elude tho newspaper men, drove around the block and then baok into the prison yard. No other attempt was made to dispose of the body until eleven o'clock, when the express wagon again came rattling out, but again there were men on tho sidewalk who Boomed interested in itd movements, and once again the wagon was driven back into the yard, and tho big gates closed on it. No other effort was made to bury tho body until midnight, when tho wagon camo dashing out as though the driver was bound to get rid of his burden at all hazards. Ho drove rapidly up the street, the wagon swaying to and fro and rattling horribly. The grave digger led the way into tho gloomy cemetery by tho dim light of a lantern. Arriving at the grave he set tho lantern at ono end of it, and seizing tho remains of tho murderer pulled tnctn out of the wagon. It didn't take long to fill up tho grave, for tho only object to accomplish was to get the body out of sight and stamp tho dirt on it. CALIFORNIA CUBS. Bow a Coo pie or Them Wero Stolen from Tbelr Mother's Side. Away up in the mountains in the northern part of Del Norte County tho predatory visits of a large black bear to tho hog ranches elicited about as much squealing among the owners of tho land as they did from the kidnapped pigs. While the trouble was almost unbeara bly David Tucker, & commission mer chant of this city, traveled into thoso parts, says the San Francisco Call. lie had with him a Winchester repeating riflo that carried a ball especially adapted for destruction of lifo in large black bears, and he organized a party to hunt tho hog-thief to death. Joseph Morrison and Edward Murray, a plucky shepherd dog, and a German deer-hound followed Tucker up tho deep canyon for about nine miles one day. ana only stopped to rest when they had reached a dense forest of tall trees, where the ground was coverod with ft thick undergrowth. Dave conclndod that the bear was behind the scenes, and sent the dogs In to reconnoiter. In ft few minutes the collie came out like a rocket and yelped for sympathy, as it showod a badly torn hip by the claw of tho disturbed animal. Another minuto bad not gone by ere the deer-hound emerged with precipitation, and only stoppea to join company with its allies. Tbo bear followed the dogs with ft mad baste, growling ferociously over their temerity in invading her home. lor it was a female bear; but the growl ing was changed to fierce grunts as she caught sight of tho hunters. liruin raised on her hind legs and bore down upon her assailants with motions of the forepaws that challenged a fight to the finish. Dave fired a ball into her breast, near tho shoulder, but without causing the brute to even wink. Ue pumped another cartridge from the magazine and sent it tearing through the anatomy of the monster with as little effect as its predecessor. Then he commenced to retreat cautiously, while ho worked an other cartridge into place, and this time made the bullet plow into the bear's groin. The bear was then within forty feet of him, and commenced to assume the proportions of a mountain to his widen ing eyes. Joe and Ed were on either sido of tho battle-ground and handi capped by some bushes. At the doubt ful moment Ed sighted tho head of the animal and immediately emptied two big loads of buckshot from his double- barreled shot-gun, tearing away tho side of her head and toppling tho animal over in a hurry. Tho boys saw that the boar had been suckling her young, so they waited a few minutes until her two cubs came out from the thicket in quest of the mother. - It was only the work of a few minutes to lariat the youngsters, and then they dragged their game to the ranch. The bear was very fat, and weighed 000 pounds when dressed. The cubs were about two weeks old when caught, and were kept for three months on bread and milk. Ther are docile, plump, and a curiosity to n jjy visitors. Mr. Tucker has standing offer of $150 for them from tho Native JSona of tho Golden West, bnt 100 will have to come out of tho funds of that organization if the cubs will form ft feature in the parade on admission day. Core for Writer's Cramp John Ilrown, stenographer, tells the Globe-Democrat: "People often ask me when I it down to do a long job of t.hort-band why I lay before me so many pencils cf different sizes. My reason for it is that by picking up pen cils of different sizes, and consequently weights, I am enabled to rest my hands while continuing to work. Each diJTerent pencil brings into, active play different muscles, and I never suffer from cramps, us might be the case if I used but one .size pencil. A horse going over an ordinary turnpikf, up hill and down, will be in better con dition at tho ernl of a day than a borne whirh has traveled tho same number of milos on a race track." . . y Queer Canine Mania. - Thwe is dog in Ihilaielphia that has a mania for tearing off door-knobs and plates and wrecking UTr woodwork f tire doors generally. t flakes You Hungry I Uat- usrd I-x'Mr's tvlvry ftmipouni ana u Us hud a salutary f O"- ri-: t. 1 I :viTat- !!' .'"' .,'"'- J '"I '' :l !"'v , . .-1jI - - !.'

How It Is Org-aalsed and Its System of Iicipllne Its Mrubrra Cordially Hated by the necnlar Folic and AU Labor Ora-aalaatlooa. The Pinkt-rton force, says the Now Ytirk .Journal, owes it oxistonoo to the enorjry and shrrwdnchH of Allan I'inkfr ton. Ilo was burn inlJlaspow, Scotland, in IS19, and in he arrived at Que bec after a stormy voyage. He found his way to Chicago and opened a cooper shop. When in search of materials for his work he discovered a panjr of coun terfeiters on an island in tbe Fox river. He succeeded in breaking up the pang-, and displayed so much skill and nerve, that he was appointed a deputy sheriff of Cook County. While holding' this position he con ceived the idea of creating a detective organization free from political influ ences. Associated with a lawyer named Edward L. Cucker. in 1'inkerton started the agency which now has offices la New York. Chicago. rhiladeVphia, Boston and Denver. The (rreatest achievement of Allan Pinkerton was the discovery of a plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln while on his way to Washington to be inaugu rated and the frustration of it. linker ton organized the secret-service division during tho war of the rebellion. Ills other detective feats consisted of tho arrest of innumerable law-breakers and the restoration of millions of dollars to the owners. Ho died at Chicago on July 1, ltsSi. He left a widow and three children, of eight born to him. Of theso the eldest son. William A.. Is now in charge of the Western division of the detective agency, and his other son, Robert A., is general superintendent and has imme diate charge of the Kastern ofaers. Since the death of the elder 1'inkerton tho organization baa increased in strength and efficiency until at the present time It is recognized as the great private resource by largo corporation s for the protection of lives and property in times of stress and storm. About 500 detectives, both men and women, are continuously employed at stated salaries varying from 83 per day to 3,000 per year. There are nearly 100 detectives employed by tho New York office alone. Tbe chief business of the agency Is with banks and express companies. The methods of the concern are hidden under a vail of the closest secBccy, and infor mation with regard to the details of the work Is kept inviolate. As an organization, however, wh'ich Is closely allied with lawlessness of every kind, tho Pinkerton Detectivo Agency has been the tul'ect of a good deal of harsh criticism. It is cordially bated by most of tho labor organizations. Wheth er this opposition is justifiable is wholly a matter of opinion. In tbe excitement of a great strike, such as the one recent ly in force on tho New York Central road, a man is often killed by the Pink erton officers. But these fatalities are more than off set by the deaths in tho ranks of the de tectives themselves, as was shown in the fight with tho James boys. While engaged in the pursuit of these desper ate men in Missouri the Pinkertons lost five men in one year. Of course there are not always on hand in the various offices a sufficient number of men to supply an extraor dinary demand such as has occurred during the past two weeks. To aaeet such demands lists of selected men aro kept, and when necessity demands theso men are sent for. As a rule these deputies are not in uniform, because of tbe enormous ex pense involved. Neither have they any legal right to carry arms, although they often do so. The Pinkerton men, as a rule, have no more authority to make an arrest than a private citizen. When employed In large numbers, as they have been on the New York Central road, the agency is paid at the rate of SS per day for eai man, of which the detective receives S. They are required to make a written report every evening of every thing done during the day, and the conversa tion overheard dowa to the smallest de tail, together with every Item of ex pense incurred In the prosecution of the work. They are kept continually ad vised from the borne office mS to what their movements shall be. The position of a Pinkerton detectivo is not an enviable one. They are cor dially hated by the regular police and consequently never reveal their iJentitw nnlcas forced to do sov HERE'S A FINE POINT. Coat a Clergyman Starry HlmIf end Thus JSave tho FeeT "There are socoe curious things in the law books, said a gray-bearded law yer to a Memphis Commercial reporter as they came down the court-house steps. "It is settled law that a clergy man may perform tho ceremony at his own marriage when none is present but himself and his bride, and upon the most solemn judgment fixing the legiti macy of the offspring and the descent e ' the estate. "Rev. Samuel Swayne Beamish was clergyman of tho united churches of England and Ireland, and on the 27th day of November 1SS2, he went to the house of Anne Lyons, in tho city cf Cork, and there performed the ceremony of marriage between himself and Isa bella Frazer, usiag the form of the Book of Common Prayer, but adapting tbe words to the unique condition of the af fair, and using also the wedding ring. They supposed that they wero having the wedding all to themselves, but Catherine Coffee was the 'Peeping Tom of the occasion and saw the perform ance of the ceremony from an al joining yard, but did; not hear the word. The marriage was pronounced valid as one performed by a minister in holy orders in the presence of witnesses, although it was irregular and clandestine. "Would such a marriage be valid In Tennessee?" "Don't know," said tho lawyer, cau tiously, "but why should it not bo if be first procure a license? The statute says no formula need bo observed, ex cept a declaration in the presence of tbe minister or officer that they accept each other as man and. wife, and all ministers of the Uospel may solemnize tho rite of matrimony. "Could a justice ot tho peace marry himself, also?" "Certainly, and all the judges and chancellors; they all have this ad vantage over us common folks, and it would be a mere matter ot economy to do it. "Have you any ease in court or are yon about to bring a case on this pointr "Ah. my friend, don't ask too much. Wait and see. "Will you notify me and give me a scoop? "Yes. if I bring the suit."
