Mr.. Whitthorne has introduced a
bill appropriating 100000 for the
purpose of adopting for the use of
the government Mr.. Jno. NJ. Cayce's
Spirit Meter, extended descriptions
of which were given in the CITIZEN
last summer. 1t has been tested
and is recommended by the proper
department officers and its advan-
tages are so manifestly and infinite
ly superior to anything of the kind
ever before invented that the gov
eminent cannot afford To lose it. 1t
is thought the bill will pass and the
government at once put into opera
ton this wonderful instrument. Its
uses are not confined to still houses,
but it is q sure measure and test
for all liquids and its general use is
only question of time. Our pre-
dictions of last year are about being
fulfilled, and we congratulate the
inventor.

MOST HORRIBLE.
A Paralyzed Woman Sees Her
Brother Burned to Death
and Cats Making a Feast
Off the Corpse.

Courier-Journal.
OwINGsvILLE, KY, Feb. 5.-Mr.
George Hieratt, a bachelor aged
about seventy years, and his sister,
Mrs. Elizabeth Goodpaster, some
years older than Mr.. Pieratt, have
lived together in this county, about
five miles from this city, for several
years-the two living alone. For
some time Mrs.. Goodpaster has
been paralyzed, and unable to get
out Of her bed for months, so that
she has been of no help whatever.
On Thursday evening, Mr.. Pieratt
had gotten in his wood for night
and morning, and about 9 o'clock,
before retiring, he started to throw
on a backlog and build up the fire;
he lifted the log, and in throwing it
on the fire fell with it, and being
unable to rise was burned to death.
His sister was lying on the bed,
but unable in her condition of health
TO get to him or render him any
assistance. At last, by an almost
superhuman effort land how she
did it, she says, she never knew,
and no one else knows) she got out
of bed and dragged her brothers
body out of the fire. She managed
to get back in bed, and there she
was compelled to lie, being COM
pletely exhausted and unable to
turn over, with her brothers dead
and burned body lying in full view
on the hearth. Nothing was known
of the horrible affair until about IL
o'clock yesterday, when Mrs. Good
pastors son, Sanford, who lives
about one mile from his mother,
having got done feeding his own
stock. thought he would step over
to his mothers and help his uncle
George to feed the stock on his
little place. AS he stepped in the
door a most horrible and blood
curdling scene was opened to his
view, as there in the bed lay his
mother with Eer eyes widely dis
tended, and she looking wildly out
Of them, while on the hearth lay
the body of his uncle, stiff and
stark in death, badly burned and
with the eyes,nose, ears cheeks and
q portion of the the neck eaten by
the cats; the whole presenting a
most horrible and CHASTITY sight.
Mrs. Goodpaster had never closed
her eyes during the whole night,
and lying there facing the body Of
her dead brother and unable to
move at all or make any noise
whatever, she was compelled to see
the cats eating the flesh from the
face of her brother. Mrs. Goodpas-
ter is now lying in a very critical
condition, and the chances are that
this terrible night of torture has so
shocked her that she can never re-
cover, or if she does her mind will
be gone.
The funeral of Mr.. Pieratt takes
place at the family burying ground
to-day. They lived on Salt Well
branch, about five miles from here,
and near the line of the Lexington
and Big Sandy railroad.
