Her Narrow Escape. One Sunday morning the Itev. L. E. Bar rott, pastor of St. Paul’s Methodist Episco pal church, preached a powerful sermon. At the close of tiro sermon Mr. Barrett, ns is his custom, passed down the aisle, shaking hands with the congregation. Among them was a good old lady, who hail given particular attention to the words of the speaker. She. however, did not recognize Mr. Barrett when he grasped her baud j and said: “Good morning, sister. I hope you are enjoying good health." “Well, yes, 1 am. But. brother, how did you enjoy the sermon!'" she inquired. .Mr. Barrett, somewhat nonplussed, but realizing the situation, replied; “Tolerably well, thank j’ou.” “Now, I thought it was real good,” continued the old lady, “and 1 think he is a real good preacher. What is Ids name?" "Barrett,” replied the preacher, “and at present he is the pastor of this church.” “Well, I like him,” replied the lady, as Mr. Barrett passed on. A moment or so later the lady turned to another lady and inquired: "Who was that gentleman I was just talking with?” "Why, that was the Rev. Mr. B arrett, who preached this morning,” replied the one addressed, who, having heard the conversation, was consid'-rably amused. "It was!” gasped the old lady, as she si nk hack In her seat, and then after a moment’s thought said; “Well, I’m mighty glad I didn’t say anything had about him.”—Wilmington, Del.. Republican.

ON THE GALLOWS. Thouifift C. Woo'.folk 1'nyit the I’cnalty of Committing Nino Mur<1*rs. Macon. Ga.. Oct. 30.—Thomas C. Woolfolk was hanged yesterday at r o'clock for the murder of nine of hirelatives. The execution took place in the outskirts of the town of Perry, Ga., and was witnessed by 7.000 or 8.0 >o people. On the gallows Woolfolk was cool and comiKised. After the ministers had prayed he himself prayed fervently, declaring his innocence in his invocation. A written statement signed by Woolfolk was read, in which he gave it as his dying declaration that he was innocent of the crime for which he was being execuh d. At 1:31 the dr p fell. The fall failed to break his neck and death resulted from strangulation, his pulse continuing to beat tor eleven minutes after the fall. Twenty-tive minutes later his body was cut down. On Aug. 0, ifss;, tlie bodies of Richard F. Woolfolk, a well-to-do white planter, his wife, their six children and bis wife's sister were found lying in pools of blood in the Woolfolk residence. A short-handled ax, clotted with blood and hah', was found in the hallway of the house. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Woolfolk and their infant lay on the s: me bed, and aer ss the time corpses the body of the eldest daughter, a recent graduate of Wesleyan college, had b» cn thrown. In other rooms the bodies of the other victims were found, and evidences of terrible struggles were to be seen. Thomas C. Woolfolk, the only surviving member of the family, was arrested. He protested his innocence. When brought into the room where the bodies lay, lie exhibited no grief. Woolfolk narrowly escaped lynching. The coroner’s jury held Woolfolk accountable for the crime. Blood was found on his body and on his underclothing. The garments that he had worn on the day of the murder were found soaked in blood in an old well. Woolfolk's trial lasted ten days. An attempt was made to show that the crime was committed by a negro desperado, but the jury f und \\ oolfolk guilty after beiag out twenty minutes. Woolfolk was s nteuced to 'lie hanged on Feb. 10, 1888, but the supreme court of the state granted him a new trial. After many legal impediments had been overcome, Woolfolk was sentenced to be hanged Aug. 16, 1889, but legal technicalities wore again interposed. On Oct. 7, 1889, he was resouteuced to be barged Oct. 29, 1890. Woolfolk’s motive for the crime was a desire to obtain ppgsession of his father's property, whicu he feared would go to his father's second wife and her children. STRANGER THAN FICTION. An IiiHiine Woman Found After Eighteen Month*** Wiinderini;. Montreal, net. 30.—Last May, when the Longue Point insane asylum was burned, it was believed that over 10(1 persons were burned in it. Many patients escaped, but it was supposed they had all been recaptured. Among those in the asylum, but missing, was the wife of Amadee Gauthier, a farmer of St. Laurant. It was thought she had been burned. Early yesterday morning Gauthier, accompanied by a neighbor. was coming into town with a wagon load of produce when they saw a woman lying beside the road. They roused her and asked her what she was doing there. She said she was hunting for the road to Ht. Laurent and had traveled for many weeks, mentioning places she had visited in Lower Quebec, 209 miles from Montreal. Gauthier asked her to get into his wagon and he would drive her to a hotel further on. As Hie stepped into the wagon he flashed his lantern into her face and dropped it with an exclamation almost of terror. The woman he had found was his own wife, who lie supposed was dead, and whom lie had not se.-n for over eighteen mouths. lie drove her home at once, where it was found that she was half starved aud nearly dead with cold. Bhe is incapal lo of telling a coherent story of her wanderings since her escape from the asylum fire: but her sufferings must have teen terrible, as her feet and limbs tire blistered and sore. There is great excitement in the village over the affair, and j the simple peoplelook upon Mrs. Gauthier's return as a miracle. She will not be returned to asylum. BURNED TO DEATH. An Ituliiifi Savt*8 His Family '.Jut Loses ills Own Life. Pittsbi-ro, Oct. 30.—At midnight a fire broke out in the livery stable of B. F. Dyer, on Grant street, and Antonio Gyatiilo, an Italian, who. with his family of five children, occupied the upper story was burned to death. His wife and youngest girl, Mary, were also badly burned. The fire started in the rear of the building and spread so rapidly that escape by the stairway was prevented. Gyatiilo handed his wife and children out of the upper window into the arms of Officers Hanna and Richardson, who stood on the next roof below. Returning to save his goods, Gyatiilo was caught in the stairway and suffocated. The money loss is heavy, hut it is covered by insurance. Teli-grai hum’ Sir k t Kmti-<1. St. Pai l, Minn., Oct. 30.—The telegraph strike ended last night in an easy victory for the Western Union company. Of the twenty-four operators who went out on Monday all but four were yesterday re-engaged by the company. Two of the four have secured other employment and the remaining two were onVred work by the company in another city. The men re engaged signed the old agreement of 1883. pledging themselves to quit the Brotherhood and to becomo members of no secret organization. George Frrncln Won't Go. New York, Oct. 30.—George Francis Train, who went around tuo world in sixty-si.^ dnys, arrived in New York Tuesday nignt. He had left Tacoma 119 hours before in an attempt to beat his record of sixty-six days, but because he has found ont that fie can not connect at Hong Kong with the steamship China, he has given up the trip and will remain in New York. 81. I.onU Telegrapht-m Surrender. St. Louis, Oct. 80.—Trouble between the Western Union and Brotherhood of Telegraphers will be amicably disposed of to-morrow. The Western Union will probably succeed in doing what it wanted to do. and the local branch of the Brotherhood will be dissolved.
