Feb. 18.—Fan- ny Scott, a brignt mulatto woman and a cook in the employ ot Judge Hinton of the supreme court ot ap- | peals of this state, lay dead in her | bet on Saturday morning, and sev- | eral hundred colored people sur- | rounded the house in which the body | lay. At 6 o'clock she had risen in! order to prepare the morning meal forthe family. Sbe bade them cat heartily because she said she would be dead betore dinnner time. Two | hours afterward she was dead. Her | husband had been an invalid tor sev- | eral years and bedridden. When he i was told of her death he arose from | his bed and, to the surprise of many | present walked about the house. Late on Saturday evening he went) away and did not return until an early hour on Sunday morning. He then told these who were present that | he would die at the same hour at which his wite had died A little before 8 o’clock on Sunday morniug his wite’s sister went into the room | where the body of Fanny Scott lay. To her horror, she saw the body of a man lying beside it. She screamed and called for help. Sev eral members ot Fanny’s ‘‘society,”’ who had been sitting up with her body, responded to her call. It was then discovered that husband and wife were both dead. Scott held the lifeless boddy of his wife clasped 1n his arms. Several hundred negroes were present this evening when the funer- al took place. There were two hearses, and a vast concourse of ne- groes followed the remains of Fany and Thomas Scott to their last rest- ing place. John Brown's Scaffold. Wheeling (W. Va.) Special.
