St. Louis, April 19.—Five Mormon missionaries were severely whipped and driven irom Dale county, Ala , last Monday night. These men had been ho ding meeting* among the ignorant classes of the county, and had formed a colony to go to Utah. Monday night some forty of the so called best citizens of tlie northern part of the county, without the slightest attempt at disguise, surrounded the house of Gid Irons, a recent convert, who wa* entertaining the five missionaries. Without delay they were brought out, stripped to the waist and tied in a row. Then each of the legoiatcrp, with » long switch, struck each prisoner a sounding blow. By the time the last blow was given two of the men had fainted, and the others were wet with blood After the whipping the men's legs were given a thick coating of tar and feathers, and they were warned to leave instantly or sutler death. Irons was told tbat.if the Mormons were found in the house again, he, too, would be whipped. The names of the Mormons are A»a F. Hizon, S. 1\ Hggadom, M. F. Miller, John Foarce and Ancel Morrison. Tliey have gone to Harvey county, but it is certain if they attempt to hold meeting there they will again be whipped. Their followers in Dalo county talk of avenging their whipping, but if anything of that kind is attempted, bloodshed 'vill follow. at Low 1'ricen. 30,000 TnrdH of 1'nrpet Are OtlVrt-d Dr. Wiggins then stood tbo boy on ) is feet, called for a slipper, and taking Ijiui across bis knee, administered a strong dose of practioal medicine on the bare skin. Since then there has been no return of the spasms, no frothing from the month, no barking or growling or snapping. It was a most complete onre, and one which onght to go on record as the simplest and most exditions treatment known to the profession. To day the boy was plowing, and he confidentially said to a friend that after all it is better to do hia chores than to play at hydrophobia. Ansonia, Conn., April 17.—A few weeks ago a boy living with George Cnrtia s farmer of Campyille, near Waterbury, was oat hunting woodchucks with Mr. Curti*' dog. He came home'and showed on li s hand a few soratohea, which he said had been made by the dog jaat after that animal had been worrying a woodchnck. Laat week the boy showed signs of hydrophobia. He would foam at the mouth, go through a spasm and bite and snap just like a dog, barking and growling in the meantime. Physiciana from Waterbury were summoned, and after diagnosing the case and pronouncing it a case of rabies they went home, leaving opiates to be taken when the Bpasms came on, but saying that the case conld not he cured, and it was only a question of time when the boy would die. The lad's sofferings were teriible, and finally Dr. Wiggins, of Litchfield, was oalled. He found the boy lying on the floor, going through a spasm, while around him stood several neighbors waiting and watching for the end. Dr. Wiggins glenced at the boy's eyes, felt his pulse, and demanded a glass of water. He was warned that the sight of water would canse another and more violent spasm, but he insisted on it being brought. Lifting the boy's head on his arm, he held the water to his lips, and after Bome time persuaded the patient to drink it. This he did, and, to the surprise of all, no spastic followed. London, Ont, April 10. — Frank Clarke, the only occupant of F. S. Clarke & Co.'s banking office, was astonished this afternoon when one of two men who had ottered the ofiice presented a pistol at his head and deuiu'ided what funds were on hand. He recovered his selfpossession almost immediately, however, and replied that he would si i render nothing, at the same time seizii a the stranger's pistol, and turning the muzzle away from himself. A struggle ensued, in which all three engaged, and the noise created so alarmed the robbers that they fled from the bank and disappeared down the street. OnovER, r.OL., April 16.—Yesterday shortly after the bank in this place opened for business an unknown cowboy rode up, entered and presented a check for $10 to cashier Smith, who was alone at the time. He turned towards the window to examine the writing, and on turning his face toward tho man found himself covered with a six-shooter. The man said, "the check is no good, bat I want cash all the same." Smith demurred, and the man threatened to shoot, whereupon he handed him all the cash ont of the safe, amounting to over $1,000. The robber took this and a Winohehester rifle standing beside the cashier, backed to the door, jumped upon his horse, and rode over the Wyoming line. Smith immediately gave the alarm and a posse was organized and started in pursuit. The tobber's horse was found near Pine Bluff station, and it is believed he took the train there. Minneapolis, Minn., April 16. — At noon to-day two men went into the State Bank when only two employes were present One covered the employes with a revolver while the other vaulted over the railing and thrnat about $8,000 on the teller's table into a valise. At this moment a depositor entered and this foroed the uncovering of the aaaiatant oaahier, who rushed to the safe to get his revolver. The robber threw the valise to his accomplice, who dashed into the President's room by mistake, then jumped through the window and tied. Meanwhile the other man bad also escaped. There was a wild rush, in which three or four policemen joined, and finally the twj robbers were captured and lodged in jail. The names of the men are given as James Henry and Fred Douglaa.

Va., April 16.—The erection of the new Government dam in the river near this city has hidden from sight the famous "pictured Rock," one of the familiar landmarks of the Kanawha valley, and one which has occasioned mnch wonder and fruitless speculation. The rook was located near the mouth of Faint creek, and while the creek was in its natural condition waa visible at low water every summer. Years ago a part of the stone waa removed for building purposes, and now the remainder is submerged at all seasons of the year. When whole the surface of the piotured rock was abont 20x30 feet in extent, and was covered with representations of animals, fish and fowls, oarved deep in the smooth surface. On one side were the figures of a man and a bear, the latter being about life-size. Nearby waa a buffalo traok, and a short distance away was the representation of a large flsh and a number of footprints, evidently representing the imprint of a child's foot. The work was evidently done by pre historic people, as the traditions of the valley are that representations were on the stone* when the first white man visited the region, and that they then bore nnmil< takable signs of great age, beirg waterworn and smooth. The vicinity of Paint creek is rich in aboriginal and prehistoric relics, and a volume might be written of disoovsries which have been msde there. Almost every excavation biings to light something of interest to the antiquarian, and there is every evidence that in past agea the valley was thickly peopled by au unknown race, probably oontemporary with the mound builders of the Ohio valley, and to whom the American Indians were atter stronger s. a Hand. The idea is to have stations, 25 miles or more apart, supplied with dynamos of sufficient power to furnish electric force enough to drive the train for a round trip. The oompany has been working for over a year past getting the experimental plant ready, and have made several trials of the system, which tentatively were quite satisfactory, a surprising speed being attained. The projectors of this enterprise expeot to work saoh a revolution in the carrying of mails and packages that neo may sit down to breakfast in Atlanta or Chicago and read the Baltimore and New York papers of the same morning. The practicability of it has been passed upon by Trot. W.C. Rowland, of the John Hopkins University, and Thomas A. Eddison, the latter of whom is said to have declared it to be the greatest conception since the telegraph. Laurii., Md., April 18 —The Baltimore Automatic Transit Company is conducting a series of experiments which the officers of the company believe will bring about a revolution in the transportation of express, mail and lighter freight. The company has constructed here a oircular track, two milea in circuit, upon which its experiments are conducted. The system of propulsion is much the same as on an ordinary electric railway. The Edison dynamo and tbo Sprague motor are employed. The overhead rail ia the main feature in the system, a double flanged wheel on the oar and motor catching upon it when the train ia in motion.
