Death of Hon. Edward T. Parsons.

Hon. Edward T. Parsons, of Louisville, KY,
and representative in Congress from Louisville,
died very suddenly at the Arlington hotel in this
city, Saturday afternoon, of congestion of the
brain. Mr.. Parsons was in apparent good health
up to the evening before his death, and had
planned a trip for Saturday down the river to
NOrlOIk. Friday evening he began to complain
of feeling unwell, and he was obliged to stay at
home Saturday. He died on that day at about
o'clock. The excessive heat of the past week
probably induced the attack of congestion. Mr..
Parsons was born in Jefferson county, Kentucky,
December L, 1872, and was therefore in his thirty
fourth year. He was graduate of the University
of Louisville, of the class of 1861. He began the
study of law and entered the bar in 1855. In 1874
he was elected a representative in the Forty
fourth Congress.
The intelligence of MIR. Parsons death soon
reached the House on Saturday Afternoon, and
the fact was announced by Hon ]. Proctor Knott
who offered resolutions for the appointment of a
committee to superintend the funeral and attend
the remains to Louisville. Upon the adoption of
the resolutions Messrs Blackburn, of Kentucky
Hopkins, of Pennsylvania; HartZell, of illinois,
Walker, of Virginia; Fort, of Illinois; Lawrence,
of Ohio, and Clark, OF Kentucky were appointed
as the committee. The House then adjourned in
respect TO the memory of the dead.
The body was prepared fer transportation and
burial by Mr.. 4. W. Barker, undertaken. The
remains were encased in a handsome Stein casket
with plate glass top. The body was taken away
on the ll:2O train on Saturday night, attended by
the wife of deceased and the Congressional com
mittee.

why Benson's Capcine Porous Plasters are the
best:
/. Because they contain Capcine gand are the
only plasters that do contain it. 2. Because Cap
cine is admitted by physicians and chemists every
where to be the best remedy known for the all
ments in which a porous plaster has been used
3. Because Capcine is superior to electricity.
4. Because Capcine causes the plaster to relieve
pain at once, and to curequicker than any known
plaster, Imminent or compound. 5. Because they
are free from dangerous metallic or mineral pol
and skilled chemists. 7. Because they cure where
other plasters simply relieve. 9. Because they
do not blister. 10. Because they will positively
cure rheumatism. neuralgia, lame and weak

One of those rascals who make a business of
poisoning the minds of little girls appre-
hended in the act yesterday and arrested. A col
Ored boy, II years Of age, who gave his name as
Charles Graham, about o'clock in the day, met
a little girl named Gardner, near the Shepherd
building, and enticed her into the rear of the
building, and made a most indecent exposure of
his person. 1t is probable that the boy had an
intention of assaulting the girl. The mother of
the child learned what was TRANSPORTING and had
the man arrested Immediately. Officer Sutton
captured him, and locked him up in the Fifth pre-
ciQct station.

divorce, the ground Of adultery, brought by her
husband, VIM. K. Pywell She admits the mar
