Mrs. Kinworthy, wife of the toll-gate
keeper on the River Road came to New
port yesterday in the wagon of Mr.. Pile,
When she attempted to alight from the
wagon, at the head of Monmouth street, the
seat slipped and threw her between the
mules, who gave jump, pulling the wagon
over the base of her spine She was at once
taken to the residence of Patrick MCGovern,
near by, and medical aid rendered but she
lived only about an hour, and died after
severe suffering. She was the second wife
of Mr.. Kinworlhy, and had only been mar
ried few weeks.
SuIc1DE.-This morning about 80 o'clock
a man was found hanging to tree on the
Alexandria Pike, at point nearly opposite
the Cemetery gate Coroner Winston was
notified, and in company with Deputy
Sheriff Hutchinson arrived at the scene
about 9 o'clock. a jury was at once inn
paneled and witnesses examined. Henry
Schiller, who resides in the neighborhood,
testified to seeing the man walking about
in the vicinity about 6 O'Clock this morn
ing, and in an hour afterward found him
hanging to a tree Two other witnesses
testified to seeing him about the same hour.
The jury rendered verdict of death by
hanging to a tree on the Alexandra
Pike, two miles south of Newport.
There was nothing found on his person
that would indicate who he was or where
he was from. Deceased was aged about
sixty-fve, and wore colored shirt, brown
jeans coat and pants, the latter considera-
bly, worn and numerously patched. A jack
knife, ferry check and red cotton handker-
chief were found in the pockets The tree
selected was a beautiful silver popular, and
he was obliged to cut two limbs away so as
to get good send off The clothes-line
| which he used was neatly wrapped with a
handkerchief so as to prevent it cutting his
neck.
The man had no doubt eaten his fill of
apples before shutting. as the ground sur
rounding the tree was covered with peelings
and cores.
The remains were brought in to Betz's
ivery-stable, on Jefferson street. where
they now lie awaiting identification.
LEXINGTON. Ky.
| The shooting match last Saturday, under
the auspices of the Kentucky Agricultural
and Mechanical Association, for a prize of
$50 was closely contested. w. L. Hay, of
Lebanon, KY, carried off the stake, though
we doubt very much if such would have
been the result if Mr.. w. K. Shelby had
used the proper gun from the beginning
his first two shots being lost on account of
loose sight in the rife. The score be-
tween the two closed: Hay 80, Shelby 20.

our city, known as Irish Town, justly
boasts that she is the home of smacking
base-b ball nine. This club f1attered as it is
offers a challenge to any club in the United
States that may wish to test their skill. On
Sunday evening last the Stars of Irish
Town played the HiEstreet Boys with the
following result: Nine innings. Stars 2l
Hill Boys 7. Over three hundred people
witnessed the game and no invitations or
notices had been sent out. The officers and
members Of the Stars are as follows Dris-
cas-, Captain, and acting as catcher; A. Nc
Carty, Assistant Captain and acting as
short stop; John McCardy, pitcher; Su!li-
van, first base; James Byrne, second base
Bud McCardy, third base; J. Lloyd, left
field; B. Miller, center field; Mike Oday,
right field.
Some excitement was created on Monday
evening by the arrest of two men, V. D..
Marion and K. B. Jones. About q week
ago the Sheriff of Whitley County was noti-
fed of the robbery of one Mr.. Geo. Cooper
of $500. Cooper lives in Whitley County,
and is we'll known and highly respected.
He gave full description of the men and
offered reward of 5000 for their arrest.
The Sheriff. in company with one Mr.. j.
f. Finley and two sons of Mr.. Cooper, learn
ing that the men had come in this drec-
ton, started in pursuit They came up
with Marion Monday morning, who, after
considerable resistance, was captured and
lodged in the Danville Jail. They found
on his person S45 IS and kilograms impli-
eating other persons, one Of which pointed
to Mr. Jones, and they proceeded at once to
Lexington and arrested that individual, and
found on his person $64 so, also several tele-
grams. He was brought before Judge Ste
venson, who, after satisfying himself that
Jones was the person the Whitley County
people wanted, delivered him to the Sher-
ifs deputies, Rogers and Lloyd, who start
ed on the evening train with their prisoner
to whitley County. 1t is likely, from the
telegrams, that they are only part of band
of robbers and counterfeiters.
