On the night previous to find- | ing the shawl this person heard two carriages | go past at alate hour, Noclue was gained for everal days, Then’ people with good mem- ories in East Attleboro began to suspect that the skeleton was that of Agnes A. Long, who | disappeared very suddenly in October, 1882. | As the description became better known and 's were investigated it became practi- ©: n that this young woman was the vietim of the murder. This point settled, a | startlingly strong chain of evidence began to ap- | pear. Miss Long was about twenty-seven years old nd the daughter of Dennis Long, of East Atl boro. In the spring of 1582 she left her tather's house to go to work in one of the jewelry man- afactories of this place. She had a room at Mrs. Brown's house, on Pearl street. ‘There she met George E, Stowers, of this town, now mar- ried, but then single. An attachment sprang up between them and Stowers apparently be- me her accepted lover, The affair ecgreeet happily for some months, until finally Stowers n to pay attention to’ Annie E. Godfrey, a liner, who sat at the same table with them. ss Godtrey has since become Miss Stowers. Miss Long becam +very Jealous of Miss Godfrey, but in October she told one of her friends that | areconeiliation had taken place and that the father of ber unborn child was about to become | Her husband. (One evening she said to people in the house that she was going with Stowers toa party on the Wrentham road. She leit the .ouse and has not been seen since. It is known that one evening about that time Stowers hired | a team at R. Manchester's stable to go to Lane's | Station, three miles away. The team was seen the same evening in Wrentham. When re- turned the buggy cushion was covered with | _ Stowers is thirty-two years old, and lives with | his wife upon a farm ‘three miles out of town. | Detectives who went to his house Wednesday | night learned that he had fled. It is reported | thathe was aiterwards seen in Boston dis- | guised, and said he knew how Miss Long died, but that he was guiltless of her murder. Chas, Snell, one of Agnes’ old lovers, also disap- peared when the skeleton was identified. RAVING$ OF THE WIFE OF THE MAN SUSPECTED OF THE CRIME. A North Attleboro special to the Philadelphia Press, March 17, says: The wife of George Stow- | ers, the accused murderer of Agnes A. Long, has lain in convulsions since yesterday noon, when, | on returning from a neighbor's, she paused a | with a scream sprang into the air and tell sense- less, All last night neighbors watched by her bed. She tossed trom side to side, lived over again in her delirium the days of her courtship | and marriage, spoke in endearing terms of | her husband, and frequently exclatmed: “You didn’t do it, George, did you?” In her wand- erings she" ineoherently’ tells of some awful Gisaster that has befallen her, frequently shouts: “Take me! take me! but save bim!” and then in tones of anguish says; “Oh, God, let me die!” The doetors give little hope of her recovery. Stowers has not been seen since yesterday morn ing. The detectives are roundly censured for letting him eseape. Frank Fisher, a friend of | Stowers, believes he has committed suicide. ith Cole, room-mate of Agnes Long during suminer’ before she disappeared, said to- y that Miss Long drew a revoiver in Stowers’ ice one day after his refusal tomarry her and fired several shots at him, none taking effect. Miss Cole thinks Agnes ‘killed herself in the buggy while riding besides Stowers and that the latter is innocent, She says she frequently threatened suicide, ee Stoddard's Mule. HOW IT BROKE FERRYMAN DAGGETT'S BUSI- NESS, From the Carson Appeal. Many years ago down in Idaho, during agold excitement, a good many men went into the country to make money outside the gold hunt- ing industry. Their idea was to make theother | fellows delve for the gold while they appropria- ted it afterward. Rollin Daggets, alterward Nevada's Congressman, established a ferry bout on asmail creek, and named the plac2“Dea.h’s Ford,” at the same time inventing a musty le- gend'to the effect that It was thus named be- cause so mary lives hed been lost in the at- tempt to cross it, ‘Ih? stream was not over a dozen yards wide and the water nowhere over | two teet deep, but he rigged up a flatboat and pulled it back and forth by a rope contrivance, Whenever the prospen‘ors crossed he regaled them with horrible tales of the treachery of the m, and the remorscless quicksands which had drawn so many men and mules to terrible deaths. In the night when he ferried people over he would caution them not to get too near the edge of the boat, as a fall overboard was certain | death. By letting the dim old lantern go out and making slow time he frequently Impressed the passengers with the idea that the stream was half a mile wide. For night trips he charged $5, but if the wind was high and the weather | bad he struck sanguine prospectors for much larger sums. In the daytime $1 was bis modest He went alongin this way for several months, the men who rushed to the hills looking upon him as a benefactor to his race by this conquer- ing of so formidable an obstacle to travel as “Death's Ford.” One day Charlie Stoddard, the promoter, appeared on the bank with & mule and boarded the flatboat to cross. In the midst of the stream, Just when the ferryman was telling how dangerous the place was, the | mule grew restive and fell overboard. One leg | caught on a rope, ard he got his head under water, and, unable to extricate himself, was drowned. When he was cat loose he lay there in the middle of “Death's Ford,” half out of water, so that all who came along saw what a miserable sham the ferry was, and that any four-footed animal could walk across. Daggett tried to get the mule away, but he was too heavy to budge, and so he lay there in plain sight for Weeks, until Daggett's business as a ferryman, was ruined. That’s the reason old Dag hardly ever speaks to Charlie Stoddard when he meets him. ———~+ee_____ Population in European States. From the London Times, Enough ts already known of the results of the German census taken on December 1st last to enable German statisticians and publi- cists to institute comparisons and inferences as to the relative growth of population in the vari- ous countries of Europe. During the last five years the population of Prussia has increased by 3.79 percent. This is notas high a rate as during the preeeding quinquennial riods. During the 18 years trom 1867 to 1885 the population of Prussia had increased by 17.87 | percent, which gives an annual average in- | crease of 0.918 percent. The annual rate of | increase in Austria-Hungary during the 11 | years trom 1869 to 1880 (no later figures are available) was only 0.49. "In Italy the annual Inerease for the decade 1871-81 was 0.60 per cent. In France (omitting “Algiers and the colonies) the annual rate of increase for the 15 years from 1866 to 1881 was 0.15 per cent, n Great Britain and Ireland, for the decade from 1871 to 1881 the annual increase was 1.01 percent, In Earopean Russia, including Finland and the Don Cossacks, in the 13 years from 1867 to 1880, the average annual in- crease was 1.33 per cent. 0 Good Appetizer. From the New York Times. “You seem to be hungry! to-night,‘ola man,” said a gentleman toa friend who was seated in Delmonico’s before a dinner that nearly com- prised the bill of fare, “Tam; ravenous.” “I wish [could eat a dinner like that,” went ‘on the first speaker enviously, “What do you take, cocktalise” “Ao better appetizer than cocktails.” “Well, what is it?"" “I've been out with my ‘wife to a 5 o'clock tia, flere walter, more bread, and be quick about it. The Murder of a Girl Revealed by @ Thomas and John Odie were out rabbit- hunting on Thursday last ip the woods of Wren- | moment in the doorway of her house and then | English Farmers in This Country Who Believe in and Practice Them. ‘From the New York Sun. Years ago » number ot emigrants from De- vVonshire, Lancaster, Cornwall, Yorkshire, and other counties of England settled in northern Pennsylvania, near the New York line. They ave made some of the finest farms in the state, and are the best ot citizens; but many of them cling, with singular tenacity, to a strange belief in the efficiency of certain charms that have been used for centuries among the class to which they belonged in England. The charmed ring cure for epilepsy is one of those, “ Only a few days ago @ jeweler in one of the vitlages was called upon bya Tesidentof the settlement, who had with him his daughter, a sickly girl of 15. ‘The girl produced nine English tworpenny pieces, from which the Jeweler was Tequested to make a ring to fit the girl’s middie finger. It was né , the farmer said, that a portion of each coin should be used, and the rest of the pieces saved and returned to his daughter, The coins were given her by nine boys, as near her own age as cauld be found, which would give to the ring a charm whic! when she put it on, would cure her of epileps: from which she was suffering. This he mai tained was a cure which never failed. If the victim of epilepsy was a male, the nine coins must be presented by nine females, Some of these farmers keep the skins of adders in or on their house or buildings, believing lem to be a certain charm agaiust fire. °o cure ague the patient is taken to a spot where tworoads cross and an oak fs found as near the spot as possible. A lock of his hair Is litted up and driven into the tree withan ash peg. The patient must then tear himself loose, leaving the hair stick in the tree, and walk away with- out looking behind.

Barcaws: Bancamsn ‘The tongue cut from a living fox, these charm believers ‘say, carried about the person, will ward off disease of all kinds; but as the pérson carrying one of these fox tongues will surely die if he should happen to met a fox at any cross roads, the charm is seldom invoked. ‘One old resident of the settlement carries in his pocket constantly an immense tooth from abuman jaw. The tooth, he says, was taken irom the ‘mouth of a man atter he was dead, who was hanged in Hertfordshire more than @ hundred years ago, and was carried by the present owner's father, grandfather and great grandfather. It is carried as a preventive of toothache, the tooth from a dead person’s mouth being a certain charm against thatmalady, The owner of the tooth says he never had the tooth- ache in his life. A double hazel nut carried in the pocket or about the person is alsoa pre- ventive of this painful ailment, The charms for the dispersion of warts be- lieved in by many of these honest farmers are numerous and most singular. For instance, if # person with warts on his or her hands will write down thé number of them on the band of a tramp's hat without the tramp knowing it he will carry the warts away with him—that they will gradually disappear from the person's hands and appear on those of the tramp. By cutting a notch on agreen elder stick for every wart @ person ma: have, rubbing the stick on every wart, and then burying it in the barn- yard, and’ leaving it there to rot, the warts may be cured. Warts may also be re- moved by taking a black snail, rubbing it on all the warts at night, and tinpaling the snail on a thorn bush, repeating the process nine successive nights, by which time the warts and the snail will both be shriveled up. Another way to get rid of warts fs for the person to sce a funeral pass unexpectedly, wherever he may be, and as It passes rub hfs warts quickly and repeat the words: “Warts and corpse pass away and never more return.” Green peas may also be used to advantage in taking off warts. Let the afilicted person take as many peas as ho has warts and touch each wart with a different pea. He must then wrap each pea in a separate piece of paper, and bury them secretly in the shade of an ash tree or under a hazel bush, If peas are not in season and the person with warts does not care to try the efficacy of any of the above named charms, let him select as many | pebbles as he has warts. Sewing them up ina | small bag, he must take them to where four Toads eross and throw the bag over his left shoulder. This charm will never be resorted to, however, by persons who have no malicious: ness in their hearts, for if by chance any other person should find’ the bag and open it the warts will appear on bis hand. ‘A Wen is usually a troubiesome and unsightly thing to be afflicted with, but the victim of wens need not suffer long if they believe in the English charm. Take a common snake, hold it by the head and tall, and draw it backward and forward nine times over the wen; then cork the snake in a bottle and bury it, If t fails, the patient must not repine, but simply wait until the next May day. Rise'early in the morning of that day before the sun has disturb- ed the dew. Go to a graveyard, and by passing the hand three times from héad to foot over the grave, collect the dew that lies on the grave of the last young person who was buried in the yard. Ifthe victim o; the wen is a wo- man the grave must be that of a man, and vice versa. Apply the dew immediately to the wen and a cure is guarantesd. In Engiand, accord- ing toan old resident, the “dead stroke” was considered a never-fziling cure for wens. This Was the stroking of the affected part with the head of a dead crim‘nal. ‘The charm for curing nosebleed is a curious one. If a person is subject to nosebleed he may effect a cure by going to a person of the opposite sex and requesting him or her to pul chase @ piece of lace, such as may be spec fied, for the person making the request.. When the lace is brought the person must take it and neither pay for it nor return thanks for it, He must make a necktie out of the lace and Wear it for nine days, and he will never have the nosebleed again. If the person is too modest or gallant to get the lace in that way, let him catch a toad, kill it and wear it around his neck in a bag until the stench sicken him, His nose will never bleed again. If a person has cramps in the legs or feet at night, he has but to place his stockings in shape of across on the floor in front of bis bed when he retires, or lay his slippers under the bed, soles upward. Placing the shoes under the coverhd at the foot of the bed so that the toes protrude, is also a sure preventive of cramps. No one who wearsa snakeskin around his head need ever have headache. If one feels a sty coming on his eye let him take a hair fro1 the tail of a black cat, rub the eye with It nine times before midnight on the first night of the new moon, and the sty will die. A ringworm may be disposed of by simply holding between the thumb and fingers a pinch of hazei ashes before breaktast for three days and saying: Ringworm, ringworm red, Never mayest thou speed or spread; But aye grow less and less, ‘And die gmong the ash. ‘These and many more strange superstitiong are part of the faith of the simple, honest and thrifty farmers of English settiement, ————-+e0+_____ A Post-Naptial Transformation.
