An experienced miller Bays that wheat has not been harmed yet and that an open winter, such as we are likely to hare, is quite oiten mure favorable to the crop than such a one as we had last year. An attempt was made iosay, in last night's paper, that 146 shares were Toted at the Building As-ociation election, but it went into print that ihit number of members voted. Three lines lelow it stated the number of members to be 87, which was a confusion of ideas. A teamster who was stopped ten minutes at Center street crossing by the banging of the electric gong, when no train was coming near, is more than ever of the opinion there is is such a thing as proving too much. The apparatus ought to be broken of its bad tricks. In Common Pleas court this morning bonds were forfeited in the following criminal cases: Daniel Vannoy, shooting to kill, $300; skipped.

At the top of the poster is a spread-eagle and the mot'.o: "E Pluribus Unum." This is not so inappropriate as might seem at first glance, considering 'William's numerous aliases, a list of which is given. There has been some complaint by property owners in the West End on the score of de scription of poles erected ""for electric light wires, which are but about twenty feet above ground. A proposition was made in Council last night to give the company until May 1 to substitute poles of equal length 15 feet, but it failed to pass.

The Suicide's Brnln Found Diseased Statement by lr. Ilejliolda tu (loroucr Coleman of the loat Mortem. Jail physician J. II. Reynolds, M. D., has placed in Coroner Coleman's hands his writ ten statement of result of the post mortem examination of the brain cf Dr. John F. Maxwell, the child-murderer and suicide. It doe3 not affect the verdict in the coroner's inquest, which is simply death from hanging, and that the same was suicidal, not making any expression as to the question of Banity or insanity, over which the doctors and pub lic are at liberty to disagree to their full and entin satisfaction. The statunent by Dr. Reynolds is as follows : SmiscFiELD, O., Jan. G, 1885. To J. L. Coleman, Coroner of Clark Co., Ohio: In the case ot Dr. John F. Maxwell (de ceased) I would make to ou a detailed statement as follows: I was called to the county jail on the night ot Nov. 2G, 1884, at about 7 o'clock. I there found Maxwell in a semi-unconscious state from the effect of some drug. I examined carefully the said Maxwell and am clearly of the opinion that he was under the influence of morphia and chloroform; and from what I afterward learned, I am positive that he had taken the poisons with suicidal intent and that the re sults would have bren fa .1 if there had not been sufficient medical attention to counteract the poisonous effects of the drug taken. I then visited the House on Jl rand street, ana there found one of his, the said Maxwell's, children dead, and three suffering from the same poisons which I supposed the said Max well bad taken. I have from time to time made visits to the said John F. Maxwell at the county jail in my official capacity as the county jail phjsician. My examinations of the said Max well have bren carefully made. I have taken his temperature aud found it all the time above normal, aud the pulse above one hun dred per minute; unequal contraction of the pupils of the eyes, exalted ulal force, and a continual restlessntss of the patient from his incarceration. There has IVen, all the time, an appearance of the said Maxwell that bas confirmed my convictions ot ihe unsoundness of bis mind. I cannot tccount for his stranee actions and appearance of the ab- ' normal physical ana mental condition of the said Maxwell, except on the ground ot tils in sinity. I am positive he, the said Maxwell, was insane on the day of the killing of his children and that he has ever remained insane from that day until the day of bis death. 1 was called to the jail about nine o'clock on Sunday "morning, January 4, aud there found the said John F. Maxwell dead by 1 violence, and am also of the opinion that said death was self-inflicted while under said mental aberrations. Yesterday, January , 1885, at about 4 o'clock p. m., with the free permission of Mr. Sweeney, the father-in-law of the said John F. Maxwtll, and with the assistance of Dr. J. W. Barry, I removed the brain of the said Maxwell. I find good aud sufficient cause for the morbid manifestations of the said Maxwell. The post-mortem elimination ol the brain re veals unmistakable evidences of sufficient brain ksion to determine beyond a doubt the insanity cf the said John F. Maxwell. Yours respectfully, J. H. Reynolds, M. D. Installation to-night at G. A. R. hall of newly elected officers of Z. Barney Phillips Camp, Sons of Veterans. Comrades of Mitche'l Post are invited to attend. A telegram was received here last night announcing the death ol Mr. Frank Cunning ham, formerly 6tcretary of the Springfield Y. M. C.

The Columbus Capitil, of January 4th( contains the 22J Annual report of the Han nah Neil Mission and the Home of tho Friendless. Mrs. R. D. Harrison was elected President of the organization maintaining the mission. Of this ercellent ladv it is only necessary to say that she is as active in every good work in Columbus, as she was while residing in this city, where she was born and lived for many years. The Capital contaius also the report of the retiring Secre tary, Miss Flora A. Harrison. At a meeting last evening of the trustees of the Springfield Republican Club, the com mittee af pointed to draw up a constitution for the club reported and the trustees dis cussed the instrument until midnight, mak ing some changes in the document as pre sented. They adjourned until Wednesday night of next week, by which time it is ex pected additional information desired will have been received and this matter disposed of. A meeting of the club will then be called. It has been thought best to move on the slow and sure plan, but the members of the club may rest assured the business is not being neglected. Gold Excitement in Georgia. The revival of tho Georgia gold in terest is attracting many practical min ers front tho west and southwest, where the fever lias somewhat subsided, and marvelous stories are being told of tho richness of tho ores found in many lo calities in tho northern part of the state. Dahlonega Las long been fam ous for its mines. The state agricul tural school is situated there, and after a hanl rain tho boys Hock into tho streets to pick up nuggets that havo been washed out of tho sand. Mines aro being discovered everywhere, and old traditions aro revived by white haired settlers which incito men, young and old, to join in tho hunt for tho veins thev tell of. ifear Cartersvillo an aged farmer tells tho story of an Indian chief whicli has aroused tho interest of tho neigh borhood to fever heat. When Gov. T.-oup drove out tho Cherokee tribo and settled it in tho west, this chief re turned to old haunts in Bartow county, and gathering all his whito friends about him, ascended a little mound sur rounded by an ampitiieater cf hills. He turned himself slowly round three times, saying in his nativo tongue: "From where I stand I see a mine that would buy tho richest kingdom in tho world." Ho disappeared suddenly, and was never seen again. Some say he spoko of a silver mine, others be lieve ho meant a gold one, but what ever it was diligent search has been made throughout tho neighborhood. Rich mines of maugancso and gray iron ore havo been found by those in search of the gold and silver; copper has been discovered in largo quantities, plum bago and mica and yellow ochre un carthod.as it were, by accident all show ing tho marvelous "mineral wealth of this section. Numerous old shafts havo been found, shafts which must have been worked from a half to three quarters of a century ago. In exca vating an eighty-foot cut on tho Cin cinnati and Georgia railroad squaro hewn timbers in an excellent state of preservation wero removed from tho roadbed. No outlet to the shaft through which they must have been lowered there was ever discovered. A murder or accident of forty years back was unearthed a short time ago by tho discovery of an old shaft, at the bottom of which tho skeleton of the victim was found. Fort Mountain, in Murray county, is celebrated for a wonderful spring whicb boils up from its very top. Near the spring arc the remains of a fort, from which the mountain takes its name, built, it is said, by De Soto to guard against the attacks of the Indians while his men worked tho rich gold mines of tho range of which this mountain is a spur. Miners aro prospecting in tho neigh borhood with great diligence, and as much excitement prevails thero as char acterized tho recent strike in tho Co huttah mountains, of which the Tri bune spoke the other Jay. Kew York , Tribune. Thought Himself a Devil. There has just died in tho city, writes a New York correspondent of the Al bany Journal, a man who fixedly be lieved that he was the devil. His narao was Goldberg, and ho was . a performer of sleights, lie was a magician, ac cording to both the show-bills and his own conceit. Ho had a marvelous dex terity in tho deceptivo handling of cards, and his tricks with them wero far better than tho-o of any of tho more celebrated showman whom I havo ever seen; but he was not equally ex pert in devising or handling such me chanism as made the fame of Ander son, tho wizard, nor was ho tho enter taining talker which we remember Hel ler to havo been. The consequence was that Goldberg gained little pros perity and remained a mero card-manipulator until his mental vagaries brought him to a lunatic asylum. I remember that during the last sum mer in which lie was sufficiently sane to bo left at largo ho gave exhibitions in the hotel parlors at country resorts. AVhilo at Long Hranch, tho gamblers who run the great hells there becamo acquainted with his sleight-cf-liand abilities. Nono of them, however, though they were in the dishonest man ipulation of cards, could either imitate or understand tho tricks which ho showed tliem. Charley Reed, man ager of one of tho club-houses, took him aside and said to him: "Goldberg, how much did you mako out of tho Show you gave In tho Ocean house par lor to-day?" "Oh, tho collection amounted to $16, about," was tho re ply. "You ought to bo ashamed of it," tho gambler retorted.

Miss Anna Johnson, of 24 Front street, Columbus, OI:io, say s: ' I suffered from an aggravated form or constipation and indigestion for several months. My fam ily physician tried all kinds of medicines and pills, but to no effect. I began to think my case was a hopeless one. A friend of mine (Mrs. Elvira Rcdmond.of East Long street, this city), calle J.and seeing the con dition I was in, recommended me to try your Manauk. I mut say I had but little fith in the medicine, but after I had taken few doses I was convinced that Mana Lisf was the medicine for me. After I had taken one bottle I was entirely well of my complaint. I consider it one of the best remedies forconstipation I have ever used. I have several friends who are ut ing it. They think it an excellent remedy. I "-ecommend it to all who are afflicted with constipation or indigestion. Any one doubting tlm statement is invited to call on me at 24 Front street," Mr. Milton Knotts, Urbana, O., writes: " Last November one year ago I was tak en sick, and called in our family physician. tie examined me ana saia 1 rua symp toms of typhoid fever. He gave me medicine for two weeks or more with outany relief. I began to think that my days on earth were fast closing in. 1 saw at once that his medicine would not reach my disease. Just as I was about to conclude that I would have to die, my daughter brought me one of your pamph lets. I noticed a case whose symptoms were like mine, and Peecna and Iiaka Lltf had cured him. I concluded at once to try it. I procured one bottle of PlEU na and one. of Maxauk, and took them as directed, and before I had used the two bottles I began to receive strength and gain in flesh. I finished the rest of the two bottles and continued its use until the third bottle was used. When they were used I could cat anything I wanted to and go about my work. I consider that if it hadn't been for your PlBUKA I would have been in my grave. Parties wishing information can write me at the aSove place. I recommend your medi cine wherever I go." Mr. John R. Davis, Mound6viIle, W. Va , writes : " I have been handling your Pebcxa ever since its introduction. All who have used it speak highly of its curative properties. I consider it a reli able remedy." Mr. George Fisher, Portsmouth, O., writes : " I am handling your Peruna, jnd having a good trade on it. It gives splencld satisfaction." you 11 teacn me to tto tnai rncK witn the four aces." "I couldn't," was tho sober reply, "if you paid tuo millions. 1 don't know how I do it." The truth was that thu trick, which consisted in dealing four aces at will from an apparently well shuttled pack, depended cliiellv on that dextrous hand ling of tho card's called palming, but the demented Goldberg was convinced that, being himself the personal devil, it was purely supernatural. All tho while that he was practicing tho most delicate and most deceptive manipula tion, ho was unaware that tho results wero obtained by trickery and skill. A STKAXOIl PHENOMENA. What an Kve-Witnesa Hat to Say About the Underground Firea Now Itc iug In Virginia. Among tho recent arrivals in the citv, says tho Louisvillo Courier-Journal, was Mr. Edward B. Elder, of Highland county, Virginia. Of late there have been reports from that sec tion of the country of a strango phe nomena which was said to havo been witnessed in tho mountains a few miles from Monterey Court-House. Highland county, where tho earth was said to be one burning mas. The fact that Mr. Mtilhattou was known to jo in another quarter of tho globo ga ro tho story Mime credence, and more especially so as it was vouched for by responsible men. A reporter learning of Mr. El der's arrival went in search of him last night to seo if ho knew anything con cerning the matter. Ho was found comfortably esconced in a cushioned chair at tho Gait howe, talking to some friends. When asked if he had heard of tho strange performance nature was said to be guilty of, ho replied: "It is certainly true, and is tho most remarkablo thing I ever heard of. From present indications I should say that we are very likely to havo another edi tion of Mount Vesuvius produced in tho mountains of Virginia. Tho phenome na consists of fires which seem to bo racing under the earth, on tho top of the peaks of Highland county, ami tho ground for a considerable distance seems to be a smouldering mass. Tho iirst heard of it was a report brought by a boy who claimed to havo walked over tho place which was on firo. The country around it is almost inaccessi ble, and it is very seldom that anyone ventures so far up on tho mountains, therefore it was only by accident that the discovery was made. A few days ago the boy, who was in search of some lost sheepwandered on foot among the hills until he got several miles from home. All at onco ho felt the air around him grow warmer, and experi enced a strango sensation, as if some burning substance was beneath him. He was on an elevated plateau, prob ably a quarter of a mile square, on the top of one of the small mountains. At first ho was greatly alarmed, and start ed to run away. His curiosity over came his fear, however, and he stopped to see if ho could find the causo of tho unusual warmth. Ho stooped and placed his hand on tho earth, and was startled to find that it was so hot as to almost blister his flesh. He did not pursuo his researches any further, but Eroceeded at onco to his home, where o told of the strango occurrence. No faith was put in tho narrative, and it was thought by tho neighbors that the boy was going crazy. "The news finally reached tho town of Monterey, and somo scientifically inclined persons determined to investi gate Procuring tho boy for a guide, they went to tho placo and found that all ho had stated was true. When they returned they told even a more won derful story than that told by tho boy. This produced a great sensation throughout tho immediato country, and a great many persons were nearly frightened out of their wits. Tho sup erstitious wero of tho belief that the day of judgment was closo at hand and began to mako preparations to respond to tho call of tho trumpet, which they momentarily expected to wake the si lence of the mountains. I lived somo distanco away, but when tho news reached mo I determined to satisfy my self. After nearly a day's travel over the rough mountain road, which wound around dill's at tho foot of overhanging rocks, I arrived within a short distanco of the region. I hero left my horse, and, together with a couple of friends, who had accompanied me, proceeded as best I could to tho place indicated. 1 had heard exaggerated stories, and was almost prepared for anything, but I must confess that I was greatly start led. Tho earth for yards around seem ed to be a smouldering heap, and was as hot as an oven. In places a hard crust had formed over tho clay, and largo fissures mado by tho heat. Tho air seemed very dense and foggy, and in many places a bluish smoko broke through holes in tho earth and spread over tho mountain tops. We dug down to tho depth of probably three feet and came to a yellowish sort of clay which was almost as soft as putty. When a shovelful was thrown out on the ground it smouldered like a heap of ushos, and a quantity of smoko seemed to rise from it. Jt was very not, aim giowou with a strango ntUiancy, which lasted for hours. Wo tried tho experiment of digging down in a number of places, anil always with tho samo results. Tho deeper we went tho more pronounced was tho phenomena, and we found it (litncult to stnna over tne opening. How long this has boen in progress no one knows, and tho most learned nro baffled for a reason. It looks as if a volcano was at work, and ready at any moment to burst un opening through tho earth and throw out its volume of smoko and fire. Hundreds of people havo visited tho place, and all have corns away more mystified than ever."
