A STRANGE SuIcIDE-About II o'clock
Wednesday morning, Mr.. A. G.. Snow went
To the room jointly occupied by him and
Mr.. Thomas b. Stagg, and found that il
was locked. with the key inside. He re-
ceiyed no answer to his repeated calls, but
on listening close discovered a very heavy
and peculiar breathing within the room.
lie Immediately called DR.. Bailey, who
pronounced that the breather was either
under the effects Of whisky or poison. The
door yrs forced open, when IL was discov-
cred that Mr.. Stagg vas lying on the bed In
the throes Of death. DIR. Craig was called
TO assist DIR. Bailey, and together they be-
gan their efforts to restore him, but even
the most powerful antidotes would have no
effect, death coming to his relief about
O'Clock. All the surroundings pointed 10
a deliberate suicide, the poison taken being
an ounce 81 landanum that he had procur-
ed that morning. A Coroner's Jury was
summoned and a verdie, Of death by his
own hands was rendered. The suicide took
every one by surprise, as he had given no
sign that such an intention was on his
mind. Deceased was from Harrodsburg,
but had been living here since 1873. Short
ly after coming here he was elected Town
Marshal, which Office he filled very accept
ably until last Summer when he resigned.

ANOTHER KILLIS0.-Most Of our local
readers are apprised Of the fact Of the kill
ing Of Mr.. Camillus Montgomery, by his
brother.in-law Mr.. Samuel Owens. on FRI
day last nt Mckinney Station. Immedi-
aiely after the unfortunate affair Mr.. Ow-
ems went To- IIustonsille and delivered
himself To the authorities who placed him
under guard to await his examining trial
on Tuesday last. The facts developed then
show that Mr.. Owens was entirely ju-ti6s-
bic, that Montgomery had previously
threatened his life and that on the day Of
the killing he had drawn his pistol aud at.
tempted to shoot Owens. The pistol was
taken from him by bystanders but Mont
gomery renewed the attack with a knife,
when Ovens drew his pistol and shot him
dead. The trouble originated over a debt
that Montgomery claimed that Owens owed
him and which the latter avowed had been
paid. The case was tried before 'Squires
brown aud Compton, who, after the hear
ing OF the testimony and the Arguments OF
counsel, acquitted the prisoner;

THURSDAY, October llth.
Last evening about 8 O'Clock, the alarm
OF FIRE was sounded, spreading eonsterna
ton in our midst and hastily calling forth
a crowd OF eager spectators. Arriving up
on the scene Of action, we found the flames
greedily devouring a small building situa.
ted just back Of Mr.. J. T.. McGrorty's fur
nuure store and used by him as work
shop and coffin warerooni. The fire brigade
was ON the ground doing efficient service,
especially in protecting the adjacent build
ings. John Harness, the no1Ile-man Of
Engine No. 2. deserves especial credit fol
the manner in which he performed the du
ty assigned him. Like Cassibianca, he
stood his ground until his engine was eK
hausted, retiring with severely blistereC
hands. In the midst Of the confusion, Mr.
McGrorty's beautiful goldmounted hearse
which was standing in shed adjoining
the shop, was forgotten, and would have

Sour MIX yeWeIry.

A new industry has been started
in Massachusetts,. 1t is no less than
the manufacture of jewelry out of
sour milk. This seems a strange
anomaly, but it is fact. The milk
comes in the shape of curd from
the butter and cheese making coun-
ties in New York, and looks upon
its arrival great deal like popped
corn, but before it leaves their shop
it rndergoes syonderful change,
and receives the name of American
coral. The secret in making it up
is carefully guarded, but it is certain
that it has to be heated very hot,
during which coloring matter is in
troduced, followed by very heavy
pressure. Some of it is colored
black and called Jet, while some ap.
pears as celluloid. 1t makes very
handsome jewelry and is made into
all kinds and styles known to the
trade. .Cg = aa2Ez. lzlA1[

Elder Evans, the leader Of the
Shakers, is urging a plan for util-
izing Ne dead" by burying them
about 20 feet apart and planting a
tree over each one, so that the bu-
rying ground will in a few years be-
come beautiful grove or profitable
piece Of woodland, instead of a col
lection of stone memorials Of doubt
full artistic merit. He has a plea OF
justice at the foundation of his
scheme, that, as every man during
his life and ancestors before him
have had their sustenance from the
elements and productions of this
earth, he should be willing in his
death to contribute to the support OF
those who come after him. The plan
has already been carried out on a
small scale at New Lebanon, N. Y,
where burial ground that had be.
come crowded was graded off and
planted with evergreens, all marks
Of the sub-soil occupants of the lor
being obliterated. 8

or the effects of the treaty, the
Pail Mall Gazette says: The Cana
dians are not only catching more fish
since the treaty Of Washington was
negotiated than before, but are SELL
ing more TO the United States, while
the States fishermen have been catch
ing less and selling less in Canada.
The explanation Of this is, that Can.
adam fishermen now have q free
market for their 6sh in the United
States, while formerly q duty was
imposed on foreign 6sh BY that Gov
eminent. The free market is worth

The Mennonites do not sppreci-
ate the privileges of American citi-
zenship, At a general conference
recently held at Elkhart, Ind, it was
resolved that all members of the
church who bad voted at the late
Presidential election should be ad-
monished, and that every minister
should try tosinduce his members to
abstain from voting. Previous to
1872 the Mennonites in Southern
Russia were exempted from one of
the duties Of European citizenship
military duty. In that year the pri-
vilege was abolished, and the immi-
grafton movement to the United
Stated set in. They never go to
law, and they make It a rule never
to accept public Office, which would
render i necessary for them to take
an oath.
