After most painful and protracted
illness, Mrs. J. l.. Lloyd departed this
life at Is minutes of 6 o'clock, p. NJ, on
the 4th of November, 1876. She was
the daughter Of Eltheldred and E. s.
Henderson, and sister of Col VIM. A.
Henderson, so favorably known in
East Tennessee.
She was born in Knoxville on the
18th of May, 1884. Was converted and
joined the NJ. +. Church when quite a
girl. She lost her father when "a little
child. Her widowed mother, her then
little brother, with herself, constituted
trio, which has chung together
through long years of those trials
" which flesh is heir to,n without falt-
ering. Now the bond Is broken, lone
Is taken, the others left" She had a
superior intellect, and the advantage
of good education. She studied
under Rev. DR.. Park, aud also under
Rev. DR.. Sullins.
On the 10Th of July, 1857, Mary A.
Henderson and Rev. j. l.. Lloyd were
married in Knoxville. In about one
year from that time they moved to
Alabama, where she felt 1t her duty
to unite with her husband in the fell
lowship of the Good Hope Baptist
Church, in Butler county, and was
baptized by Elder David Lee, the
Moderator OF the Alabama Baptist AS
ISOLATION. Since that time she has
labored as PASTORS wife, in Athens,
Ala, in Meridian, Miss, in Winches-
ter, Tenn, and in the favored city OF her
nativity. But her work is done. Yes,
done to the glory OF God, the satisfac~
ton of her pastor, and a precious
memorial for her motherless children,
husband, mother and brother, whose
loss is irreparable while he gain is
eternal.
When she was assured in her mind
that her end was at hand she called
each member of her family and gave
them parting advice, then made them
promise TO meet her in Heaven. The
beggars, the pine-carriers, the waits,
the wretched and abandoned poor, will
stand with her pastor, her Bible
class. her church, and her fBmily, as
witnesses in the Day of Judgment,
that as a worker for the good of her
race and the glory of her Master, "She
hath done what she could" Peace to
her ashes and salvation to her children,
through Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Prevailing Horse Disease.

1t may not be generally known that
the epizootic, or horse disease, which
prevailed over the entire country a
year or two ago, is again an epidemic,
and passing over the country in about
the same way. Within few days al
most every horse in the city has shown
symptoms of it by hacking and cough
ing. Many horses in the North have
died from it, and our horse owners
should see that their horses are not
needlessly exposed to cold and wet ;
that their boweles are kept open, and
the experience oftwo years ago showed
that there was nothing better for that
purpose than a warm bran mash
mixed with Damon's Stock Powders.
These Powders are prepared expressly
to keep the stomach ola horse in good
condition, and when the stomach is
right, but little danger is to be appre-
hended.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Two Men PrecipItated from n scaHoId
Foray Feet High


Foray Feet High
Monday afternoon about /: 80
o'clock sad accident occurred at
Kern's new building, Market Square,
which resulted in the almost instant
death OF one man aud the seriously in
juring of another. The firm Of Hawk
ins, Butt & Co. having the contract for
the galvanized iron cornice work of
that building, were making prepare
tons to commence the work. The two
young men referred to-Enos Warters
and Mike Burchell-Mr. Hawkins aud
two other men were to commence the
work. In the morning, just before
dinner,
THE sCAFFoLD
had been fastened aud thoroughly
tried in the usual way, and being con-
sdered perfectly safe was hoisted to
the proper place. After dinner the
two young men returned to their work
and were sitting on the scatfOld await
ing the arrival of Mr.. Hawkins to give
them some directions. Mr.. Hawkins
and the other men arrived, and before
stepping down on the scaffOld them
selves, AS they intended to do, were
handing down some of tue cornice TO
be used, which was being received by
young Warters, and as he reached out
his hands for the material one of the
iron rods supporting the scaffold gave
way and
MIR. wARTERs WAS HURLED HEAD
LONG TO THE GROUND,
distance of about forty feet, falling
on his head and crushing in his skull.
DIR. Morgan living right opposite the
scene was almost instantly on the
ground and all that could possibly be
done was done, but he breathed his
last in about twenty minutes after the
fatal fall. All the members of the firm
in the city, Messrs. Hawkins, Coffman,
Cruze, and White were present and
seemed deeply affected. They did all
in their power for his recovery and fail
ing in that accompanied the remains
over TO his residence in East Knoxville.
Mr.. Warters was son of Mr.. II. L.
Warters, and was young man oil
steady habits. He protested religion
some time since and Joined the
| Shieldstown Church, but whether he
continued in the faith up to his death
we are not informed. We will, how
ever, hope so,
MIKE BURCHELL,
The other young man on the scaffold
made very narrow escape. Being
near the pulley rope, he managed tc
get hold of it, but just how, he, him
self, can not say, aud thus came down
but with such rapidity that the rope
took all the flesh from his hands, lay
ing the bones bare. He suffered terri
bly,, and when he first reach the
ground was almost beside himself. His
wounds were dressed, but last night he
was still suffering very much.
THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT
can not be explained, nor can any req
son be given why the iron should giv'
way We examined the broken rod
and there is appearantly no flaw in tn,
iron, aud the same scafiold was used il
putting On the cornice on the firm'
new building, and at one time then
or men wele on it besides some brick
ana mortar.

Against Life Insurance Companies.
We learned Saturday from Thomas
Williams that he had instituted suit
against two Insurance compsuies who
had refused to pay the policies held by
Mr.. Cornelius Coffin. He held policy
in the Nashville Life Insurance Com
pany, and Ms that company has not au
agent at this place at present, Mr.. Will
liams institute ed suit In the Circuit
Court, at Chattanooga.
Mr.. Coi1iu also held a policy la the
Republic, of Chicago, and they refus-
ing Ia pay, and learning that the COM
pauy was attempting To transfer their
assets ia this city, Mr. Williams had
the same attached, and will push mat
tiers to the bitter end. 1t IL getting to
be rather too common for life insurance
companies to dodge their liabilities,
and 1t is probably well that test case
arises here aud there, where the courts
are called in To compel them to do
Justice.

To any person from the country Wis.
ting Knoxville, the talk about hard
times must look absurd, if they step
into that wonderful store Of McNulty,
George & Halls and see their immense
stock Of goods aud the people buying
them, just because they sell them for
less than other houses do. They sell
Jeans, brown Domestics, Prints, Ticks,
Shoes and Hats, for less than ever be-
fore. On Fine Dress Goods, they are
the only store that can afford to sell as
low IA they do, because they buy them
of importers and manufacturers direct.
