A Fire-Haunted Man.

=
Mr.. James Minor, wealthy bachelor
OF, Nelson .County, and brother of Hon,
William f., Minor, of this county, pos
sesses history SO much out Of the com.
mon run that it is well worthy of being
put on record. He is literally a fire.
haunted man. All his lie he has been
persistently followed by series OF
strange fatalities that are in. themselves
almost enough to cause the superstitious
to look upon his visits as something to
|. be dreaded At the adecease Of his father
he inherited the homestead farm, the
dwelling on which was at that day one
OF, the, finest residences in Nelson County,
having been erected at cost of $40, ,000.
It citight fire and was Consumed to
ashes. He erected d new house at a
like cost, only to become in its turn food
for the hungry flames: He.sqbsequently
engaged IN the lumber business and lost
a large and, valuable lot Of lumber by
FIRE. He then visited his brother.
residing in, Holt's Bottom, this county
and in two or, three days after his
arrival the. dwelling of, the latter was
consumed by fire, ISL He then went to
Kansas TO visit his stepmother. and while
they were ,conyersing about the strange
fatality thatseemed to dog him through
life, the kitchen of her house burst into
flames. JoaI T9Jg41p isHoain"c lfI
ru Returning to Kentucky and visiting at
the house of relative in his native
county, while the family were discussing
his bad luck Aduring the course of con-,
versation his host assured him that
while they were glad to see him, OF
course, they were rather afraid that they
would be btirned up in consequence OF
his visit-the Kitchen of that house was
also discovered to be on fire. From
thence he proceeded to visit the family
Of another relative in the same county,
and, as usual, the subject of the re-
marksble fatality, that seemed to pursue
him formed the staple of conversation.
A2broom in the room was ignited by a
spark from the fire, whereupon the
young lady Of the house remarked that
she had left some fire in the parlor and
she believed she would go and see il
everything was right. Opening the
parlor door, the apartment was discov-
cred to be in flames. HTany county in
any State can produce a man who can
trathfnlly point to alife filed with such
strange experiences, OF anything at all
a-pproa ching them, now is the time. to
bring him to the front. -Breckinv1dge

No matter how useful anything may be in

usefulness greatly by -insuring wider field

thus impressed in view of the following state

from leading individuals connected with some
of the largest enterprises in our midst. Among
Others whose testimony was freely given was
w. H Stesrns, Esq, Master Mechanic of the
Conn. River Railroad, residing at No. % Boyls-

had remarkable effect among the men en-
ploved here. One Of them jammed hfs arm
very badly, and by the use of st. Jacobs Oil
was greatly benefited, and the arm was healed.
Another used it for severe rheumatic pains in
the knee, and pronounced the Oil complete
success as he was cured by its use" Mr.. A. b.

Pil.sburv. of Mount Clair, N. j., while visiting
at our house tried st. Jacobs Oil for rheuma-

lief every time. She pronounced it the best
thing she had ever tried for the trouble" Mr..

The method proposed by M. Ance-
din for heating railway cars, namely, by
the use of acetate Of soda Id the foot
warmers, seems to have proved quite
satisfactory on some of the FrenchliRes.
As is. wel-known, the substance thHs
employ ed has considerable latent heat !;
o at certain temperature, it
absorbs a large quantity of heat, which
becomes sensible during crystallization
in cooling. All that is srequired is to fill
the ordinary cases with a sufficient
quantity of acetate, close them, and
place them in stove at about 100 de-
grees. - The cooling Of case thus
charged and heated takes twelve 20 fiji
teen hours. The warmers thereafter are
taken from the compartment and placed
in Somewhere the, crystals OF soda
acetate are redissolyed-and are then
ready for fresh use. Chief among the
advantages, of this system are the non
necessity of changing warmers every
two or three hours, the small number oi
hands required to attend them at the sta
lions, and economy in cost Of heating.

A Persistent Murderer.
STRANGE AND SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN KENT


STRANGE AND SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN KENT
COUNTY, MD.
Mrs. Emma Turner, the wife OF William Turner,
who keeps a store near Morris station, on the
Queen Anne'S and Kent railroad Kent county,
Nd, was murdered Thursday evening by Joseph
FL. Norris, a man living in the neighborhood,
under circumstances that indicated the most de-
Hberate and persistent preparation for the crime
On the part OF the murderer. Two years ago
Morris started some stories derogatory to
the reputation OF Mrs Turner, for which
he was severely chastised by her husband
1t Is believed that the motive for the
present crime was revenge, and that the murderer
planned to Kill not only Mrs. Turner, but her hus-
band and daughter. Turner was away from home
Thursday, and during the afternoon Morris visited
the house, and finding Mrs. Turner asleep stole
with him to his home, about 25e yards distant 1t
is supposed this theft was made to get Mrs Tur-
ner away from her house when she awOke. Hav-
ing failed In this, he loaded double-barreled
gun, and again going to Mrs Turner's house
aimed at Mrs. Turner's head, but the gun was
seized and secured by her daughter, who removed
the caps and poured water into the barrels. Morris
went home again, and having reloaded the gun,
which was restored to him, returned TO Mrs. Tur-
ners and found her in the store attached to the
premises. There was man in the store at the
time, and when he was looking another way
Morris raised the gun and nred, the charge taking
effect In Mrs. Turner's heart and killing her In
stantly. Turner then fed pursued for some dis
lance by Mrs. Turner's daughter, who fired a re.
vOlver after him without effect. Morris after
getting two bottles OF whisky at his house
last night Before the shooting, he had endeav-
Ored to get Mrs. Turner and her daughter TO drink
from a bottle OF whisky, which has since been
shown to contain large quantity OF poison. Nor
riS has served several terms In jail, once for adj
ministering to man dose OF poisoned whisky,
which nearly proved fatal.

lying together in the woods about five miles from

their chfldre Is due much to the prayers as to
