I Imagine two young people, both
healthy and handsome, passionately
in lote with each other. Thij lived
at Lint, some, twenty mi$a from
CobleDz, and there they weremarried.
Young Scheffer thought of j nothing
but his beautiful girl wife, and & Le
slie adored him. This beatifio state
of affairs lasted for three yes.
Unfortunately both were too ambi
tious for their station in life and
were! always longing for luxuries
they I had not the means to possess.
Scheffer wished his wife to fgo into
the blest society, to be the rJiOBt en
Tied there for her grace andtf beaut;
he sighed to give her thelf setting
such a 5 jewel demanded. 4M Bne
on her side, suffered to see her hus
band, whom she bettered top be the
most capable of men, doomed to la
bor iguominiously for a mere) liring.
j This was the idyl- Now for the
drama.
I Mina Weser, a distant relafive, waa
left an orphan, and what wis more
to the point was 'left an hetrestfto
several millions of francs. The
young girl soon grew tired of living
alone in solitary grandeur and wrote
her distant relatives, the Scheffers,
proposing to take np her rjBsiAsnce
with ; them. The proposionwas I
eagerly accepted and Mist Weser
warmly welcomed. The S amiable
couple had their dream fulfilled, for'
the young heiress was liberal and
she had no near kin to claim! her for
tune in case of death. SoS several
months went on. (1
'But suppose Mina Weser j were to
take it into her head to get married t
ibis dire thought took complete pos-
sesBiptt of Scheffer and .his ipfe, who
trembled at the idea of thii magnifi
cent fortune escaping theinj Wh4t,
in tne . same or everything could
they po to prevent this ? "' ' ' f - -
The girl's millions were the
tempter; the crime soon followed. It
hinted itself: it Was scouted with
horror. It came again, and the erst
while happy couple could ;not look
one another in the face without see
ing the foul thought there, jii
Sit was fate. It mast be done. Bat
how without arousing suspicion ?
An- inspiration came tH Mme.
Scheffer. She made a discoTery. She
twined her arms around hr hand
some husband's neck and whispered
it to him. Mina Weser waslin love
him. i. This was easltv to i be
seen, although the young girt thought
she guarded her secret so wfll.
The plot then came readily enougl,
and a most diabolical onel it was.
They would take advantage of this
imprudent passion. Bat how T Well,
Mine. Scheffer should disappear, be I
twmiwidMjkmJ Whniihagd would 1
marrv the irirL Then T it
Then he would slowly poison her,
after which Mme. Scheffer would re-
tarn to her husband to enjoy the love
of their youth in the heart of luxury.
jit took a long time to ; plant the
imalated death longer lose than
the real one which Was to follow.
But Mme. Scheffer went toifisit tome
friends. While there an accident oc
curred on a local railway, jln which
several people were killed. She heard
of ittelegraphejher haspand that I
sne naa startea py uai iraiu ana
harried to Havre. Shelf came j to
America, and lived for time in
Brooklyn.- ;.
; Meantime search was made at the
iene of the railroad accident for her
remains. They could not be identi
fied, but the telegram proved that she
was one 01 tne auuea. i
j Scheffer was a widower flor a little
I less than the customary period and
then married Miss Mina Weser. one
was madly in love with htm, and he
simulated a similar passion in return.
At the same time he was carrying out
i the preooncerted plot of Howly pois
oning ner, ana nopea to join, wun
her wealth, his first wile in the Mew
World. j
This simulated passion, however,
became too muoh for him The pas -
sion became real, ana the tnougnt oi
losing his Mina became death to him.
He sent to Ooblenz, to Berlin even,
for physicians to remedy, the effects
upon her ox the poison ne naa aa min
istered. He lienored bis criminal
promise. The girl recovered, and in
I his happiness he forgot it!
But Mrs. Scheffer did not. she
Often went to the general delivery
window of the Brooklyn postofice
for the letter that never came. A
yeai passed and no news of Mina's
I death. She could contain herself no
longer; she went to Europe.
I When aha louna the uue state oi
the lease she partially lost her reason.
Maddened bv iealousy,: she told of
the; whole plot. Boheser was ar
rested, triea and eonrieted on the
double charge of attemtited murder

a letter recently received by its -htor
from Gen. Harrison and published
by bis permission. It was written in
reply to a letter urging that Southern

I am not ready to make any public

Every day I am solicited by spe

appeal for some expression upon the
question that interests you, I must
for the present make he same an

yourself been satisfied With the ex
pressions made by me in my public

during the campaign. Wheu .the sur

of your people have felt over the
result has passed away, and they give
some cairn thought to Ihe situation,
I think they will be as much sur
prised as I am that thy should, in

unfriendliness toward the south. The
policies in legislation- advised by the

Chicago, Nov. 27- A Bpeoial drs
patch from Iudiahapoliai says: About
1,200 democratic Veterans, members
of Q. A. B. posts scattered over
the State, held in the capitol building
last night a secret meeting, at which
it was resolved that every democratic
member of the Q. A- R. should aban
don the order,and all present pledged
themselves to withdraw from their
posts. Adjutant General Koonlz pre
sided. A name and .constitution for
the new order proposed by the demo
cratic veterans were adopted. The
new order is to be charitable and non
political in character. Another meet
ing will be held tonight, and the one
on Wednesday evening will be a pub
lic mass-meeting in the city hall, when
the reasons for deserting the G A R
will be given and the principles and
object of the new order laid before
the public. Adjutant General Koontz
says simuar meetings will be he'd all
over the State within the next week.
Mr. Koontz said last evening that
he had letters from men in eight
States indicating that the movement
is national. Among the letters re
ceived was one from John A. Wor
man, secretary of a democratic so
ciety of Pennsylvania, promising that
every democratic soldier in Pennsylva
nia iil leave the Grand Army
of : the Republic. ! The pres
ident of the . society, who
ran against Bearer for Governor,
is at the head of the movement in Penn
sylvania. Mr. Koonz say j that but
few Indiana democrats have attanded
the Grand Army meetings since the
election, because ail the posts hav
been holding meetings Sratifyinj th
election of Harrison and Hovey. It
is pretty generally believed that
Congressman Matson is at the head
of the movement, bat bo far he has
mautf mr puvpi ,w--.
known that he feelB very sore because
the Grand Army of the Republic as an
organization worked against him and
his friends here say that he will fol

The management of the n ional

appointed Thursday, i December 6th,

a special invitation to our people to

North Carolinians should evince their
appreciation of the compliment as
fully as possible.
From all we have
gathered from
our eiohanges we conclude; that the
exposition in question covers a larger
area of industries and shows better
what the whole South is doing and
what it will be able to do in the fu
ture than any heretofore held. We
learn also that the different railroad

an array of vocalists been seen or

invidious to particularize when all
were so worthy of praise, and it must
suffice to say tbat ;all who could ap

"A Threatened Town."
The story of the underground
river reported to have been discov
ered in thia section is assuming amus
ing proportions and proportions
which would be decidedly alarming
if credited here as they seem to be
elsewhere. Governor Scales yester
day receiyed a letter from a promi
nent literary man in Boston, en
closing the following sensational ar
ticle clipped from the London Times,
and bearing the headline of "
Threatened Town:"
"The Frankfurter Zeitung: pub
lishes a letter from an American cor
respondent, who says that the town
of Raleigh, in North Caroline, ia
threatened with desertion by its in
habitants, who have been thrown into
make themselves heard above all ordi
nary sound. The chief noise resem
bles that of rushing streams,; as if
masses of water were seeking new
channels within the earth. : The
grpuhd seems hollow to those who
walk in the streets: loaded wagons
passing cause a loud echoing rumble,
as if the town were built over a vault
Naturally, the noises are more; audi
ble at night, and many persons have
been so terrified that they have quit
ted the town. Np subterranean ex
plosions, have yet been heard, and
those who hate listened to the . noises
by placing their ears to the ground
or to a wall declare that they refera
ble the sound made by a powerful
rush of gas or steam. The most ac
cepted explanation is that some inter
nal changes are in progress in the
neighborhood, but borings and exca
vations which have been carried out
have not furnished any data to sup
port any yiew of the origin of the
mysterious sounds."
The gentleman in question wanted
to know what foundation there was
for the above and how it originated.
The Governor replied that the yarn
only had existence in some correspon
dent's fertile imagination. It is sug
gested tbat the author is the same
fellow who sent the Tribune dis
patches from here and who is keep
ing his hand in with such as the
above.

The Nlws and Obsbbvxb has r
duced its size to what it was before
the late campaign. It has been so
thoroughly identified with the demo
cratic party in this State that its pros
perity should be coincident with jbat
of the party. Never within our
knowledge of journalism of this State
has so conservative a leadership been
embodied in any one paper. Its edi
tor has been a practical politician and
has had a hand in the political ma
chinery of this State from the time he
entered the legislature soon after the
close of the war, and has at all times
Erov if himself a cool and deliberate
ut a bold leader. We hope the next
legislature which is so strongly dam-'
ocratic will show its appreciation of
the services of the Nxws asd 'Ob
sxbvcb by giving that paper the State
printing. The democratic patty of
North Carolina can ill afford to dis
pense with the services of so able a
paper.

Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at Lee,
Johnson & Go's drug store as their- giv
ing away to their customers of so many
free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Dis
covery for consumption. Their trade
is simply enormous in this very valuable
article from the fact that it always cures
and never disappoints. Coughs colds,
asthma, bronchitis, croup and all throat -add
lung diseases quickly cured. You
can test it before buying by getting a
trial bottle free, large size SI. Kvnfj
bottle warranted.
