Kentucky Diversion.

Another fatal shooting ARRAY occurred
In this county yesterday, in which two
men were killed and one mortally
wounded. Cornishville was the seat of
war this time. The following are the
particulars, so far as can be ascertained
at present, as related by friends Of the
deceased, who came to town this morn
ing to telegraph to the police at Louis
vile, Frankfort and Lebanon to be on
the alert and proceed to arrest Herring
on sight:
In the forenoon Isaiah Gabhert and
a man by the name Of Daniels had some
controversy about a dog. Gabhert
shot Daniels through the leg. Joe
Davenport, a constable, CAUGHT Cab
bert and that difficulty ended there.
In the afternoon, Joe Davenport went
to arrest Gabhert. Upon the approach
of the constable and his posse, some
one informed Gabhert, when he, in
company with a man by the name of
Herring, left Gabhert's house, ap.
preaching the posse. Garland Daven-
port, the brother of the constable,
caught Gabhert's pistol, when the con-
SCaDlo SUfucK GaDnorG With large iron
shovel, almost knocking the top of his
head off. Herring Immediately shot
the constable through the body, killing
him Instantly. The younger Daven-
port caught Herring, and in the scuffle
Herring shot him almost in the same
Identical place where his brother, the
constable. was shot, only on the op-
posite side of his body. Both of the
Davenports are dead, anG Herring fed
the country. Gabhert is living at home,
and is thought to be in very critica
condition. Daniels wound is only
fesh-wound, and is not thought to be
dangerous.
Much excitement prevails in that vi
entity, but no arrests have been made
as yet.-Horrodsburg (Ky.) Cogre-

dying when he was Is, he was placed in

it up when he was 40. Two years ago
after spending his time alternately il

4" It's a MiStakA.N

The Chicago Times says: John
Smith from Iowa, six-footer and over,
amused the "boys" on the board yes
terday with the recital of the way in
which he reciprocated the friendly
greeting of bunko "steerer" yester-
day morning. John was passing Field
& Letters store on State street, when
a dapper little fellow stepped up to
him:
"Why, Mr.. Jones, how do you do :?
When did you arrive? How is Mrs.
Jones ?"
John Smith looked at the little fell
low moment, and tumbled" to the
game at once. The bunkoist, as he
spoke, extended his hand for friendly
shake. John drew a long breath,
spread out his fist until it was nearly as
broad as chair bottom, and then took
very innocently the delicate fist OF his
new acquaintance. Looking with quiet
smile straight into the fellows eyes, he
gradually frightened his grasp until the
delicate mauler of the elegant-appearing
young man was entirely lost to sight.
Bunko grew alarmed, but concealing
his fears, remarked that he believed he
had made a mistake.
"Not at all /; I'm right glad to see
you" responded John.
Crunch went few more bones, the
blood mounted to Bunko's face, his
knees trembled, and he began to look
as if he were about to have an apo
plectic fit.
excuse me, Jones it's a mistake, :"
he finally roared.
mot al all; only too glad to see
you" Smith was inexorable. Bunko
fairly yelled with pain. He wound
round and round. shot up to his full
height, and then slid down on his knees.
At length John was satisfied. The
right hand of Bunko was mass of
badly crushed flesh and bones, without
any semblance to any part of the human
anatomy. John let the bruised mem Der
fall, gave the fellow hearty kick, and
left, pleasantly remarking:
ct guess it was mistake, after all. +"

A Little Girl KindIes a Fire With

vidual, and is given to operating some

as usual thing, any vast amount of
money about the house. Day before
yesterday, having note against him
that was rapidly approaching maturity,
he obtained something over 81, 100 with
which to satisfy it. Wrapping up this
comfortable sum in an old newspaper.
he slowed the bundle away in bureau
drawer, and where he intended to let it
remain until it was wanted to liquidate
the claim against him.

A part of 'Melia's duties is the kindline
OF the matutinal fire, and yesterday
morning, as usual, she was the first one
stirring in the house. Not having
enough innammable material handy,
she remembered the roll of paper in the
drawer, and, getting it out, put it in the
stove, where she soon had beautiful

the establishment arose he missed his
money, and little inquiry demon
strated the fact that that 81, 100 had
gone where, in the elegant language

the atmosphere in that boarding house
can better be imagined than described.
The fire was immediately extinguished,

Weary of Life.

Washington, DO. dec. ~, Cor. Chicago Tribune.
The Rev. J. M. Cooms, pastor of the
Western Presbyterian Church of this
ity, committed suicide here this morn
ng under extraordinary circumstances.
A Sunday paper contained the following
paragraph For many months the
store OF "a prominent bookseller has been
visited by man well on in years, and
neatly dressed, after the fashion of a
minister of the gospel. He would walk
around the store, examining books,
reading passages, but, never making a
purchase. Lately our stationer has
missed books, and all attempts to find
how they were taken failed. until yester-
day, when the clerical looking gentle
man was discovered to be the klepto-
maniac. He was standing in the store
quietly reading book he had taken,
when customer entered, upon whom
the proprietor turned to wait. The
instant his back was TUNED the gospel
gentleman left the store. The stationer
Immediately followed him, and, coming
up, asked what he did with
that book. The reverend gentleman
turned pale, and with the exclama-
ton: For Gods sake, don't expose me
publicly brought forth the stolen
book from under his coat" That
clergyman was J. M. Cooms. This
morning his congregation at the fash
ionable West End assembled at the
usual time. The hour for services
came, but the pastor was absent. A
messenger was dispatched to his apart
ment. The door was barred. The
messenger forced the door to find the
dead body of Cooms in his chamber,
with his throat SO terribly cut that the
head was nearly severed from the body.
The messenger, horror stricken, an
nounced the fact to the congregation.
Subsequent inquiry discloses the fol-
lowing facts Cooms has been an hon.
ored and successful clergymen for
quarter Of century, at first Ia the
Methodist, and lately in the Presby-
terrain denomination. Cooms' wife for
some years has been insane. The
calamity has at times clouded his mind.
There were no children. For some
weeks the old family maid-servant has
noticed that Cooms was unusually de-
pressed and exhibited symptoms similar
to those which were manifested in the
early stages of Mrs. Cooms' insanity.
This morning, for the first time in very
many years, Cooms ordered all the Sun
day papers purchased and brought to
him before church. The papers were
found in his room carefully examined
the one containing the above paragraph
had last been read, and lay on top as if
this paragraph had been carefully read.
The suicide, according to the account
of time, must have speedily followed
the reading. There was so much
method, however, in the madness that
considerable quantity Of government
bonds were found carefully arranged
upon the table near the fatal newspaper.
The clergyman was man of property.
The throat was cut with two razors, and
the work was thoroughly done.

A New System of Destroying Bank
Notes.

A new system has been adopted for
the destruction of the national bank
notes redeemed by the Comptroller of
the Currency. Heretofore it has been
the custom at Washington to destroy
the notes by fire, thus wasting large
quantity of material from which the
bank notes are made. Workmen are
now engaged at the national capital in
erecting machinery for the purpose of
reducing the notes to pulp, and by a
chemical process extracting from the
pulp all impurities that it may have
acquired in printing, circulation, etc.
In this manner the United States bonds
and spoiled note sheets have been
treated for some time past, and large
amount of valuable material has thus
been saved. The destruction of circu-
lating national bank notes by fire has
been SO large that it was deemed advis-
able to try the same system with them,
and it is expected to realize large
profit. The pulp thus saved will again
be made over into new bank notes, ETC.
The Comptroller of the Currency has
also adopted plan of humble ring every
note of issue with the designation num-
Der of the specific national bank by
which it was issued, in order to expe-
dite the sorting of such notes when re-
deemed by the Comptroller. The
clerks in the Comptroller's office at
Washington have no occasion now to
read the name of the bank from the
note, but can sort them numerically.
without the possibility of charging the
notes of one bank to the account of an
other. 1t is expected that Large saw
ing will be effected by this system, as
we'll as preventing errors through a
similarity of the notes.-Neav York

ANOTHER cremation ceremony has
been successfully performed in Dres-
den, IN the same oven in which the body
the OF wife of Sir Charles Dixie was
lately consumed. No clergyman could
be found to peform the burial cere-
mony, and brief and impressive
speech was delivered by layman. The
cremation was perfectly successful,
with nothing to offend the senses. The
impregnable logic of the arguments of
the cremationists is strengthening the
movement in favor of this mode Of dis
posing of the dead.
