When General Jackson, in 1920 journcyed
from Nashville to Washington to takc his seat
as President of the United States nc Travelled
by stage coach over the old national pike that
led over the Allcghanics. In the pnmy days

them, and The coaches, drawn by four aud six
horses, dashed along at n rate which would
have made an English conchnnn Of tho day
mad with envy Besides the coaches and

their journey packed in saddle bags, and there
were immense drovcs OF sheep and herds Of
cattle raising clouds Of dust along their path

Death at His Own Hand-CorneIius J
 Vanderbilt Commits Suicide in {, Hotel
 Poor Real.h at the Bottom Of the
 Trouble.
 NEW YoRK, April ? 2-Cornelius J. Wander bilt, brother of William H. Vanderbilt, shot himself in the head this afternoon at the Glenham Hotel and died at p. m from his injuries. From what could be learned at the hotel of the affair it appears that about 1 o'clock one of the employees of tue hotel heard the report of pistol in Nanderbilt's room He told the clerk, and on his going into the room he found Mir. Vanderbilt lying on the bed bleeding from wound in the head. Dr. Wier, MT. Vanderbilt's physician, was immediately summoned and dispatch was also sent to William H. Vanderbilt and other relatives. When Doctor Wier arrived at the hotel Vanderbilt was unconscious and beyond all human aid. He never regained consciousness from the time he fired the fatal shot and died at 6 p. m. E. o. Farren, guest at the hotel and friend of the deceased, who was one of the first to enter after the shooting, said he found Vanderbilt lying on the bed with a bullet wound in his temple. The weapon with which he committed the deed, a small sized five chambered Smith $ Wesson revolver, lay beside him on the bed. Mir. Terry, an intimate friend and companion of the deceased, who was at the hotel at the time of the shooting, said 'tMr Vanderbilt and myself about four weeks ago returned from Florida where MT. Vanderbilt had been spending the winter for his health On our arrival in this city he engaged suite of rooms at this hotel His health has baen very poor for some time past and he was subject to fits of epilepsy and has been con- fined to his bed for several days" Terry was of opinion that the deceased accidentally shot himself while in a it.
 William H. Vanderbilt arrived at the hotel shortly after his brothers death. He ap- peared to be very much affected at the oc- currence. He gave instructions for a special train to be in readiness tomorrow to convey the remains of the deceased to Hartford where they will be inferred by the side of his wife, who died several years ago. Deceased was tifty-One years of age. He had no chil- dren.
 The coroner and his deputy arrived at the hotel some time after Mir Vanderbilt, and after examining the body gave a permit for its removal. They then called at the Thirtieth street police station and left slip which read as follows "Corneius J. Van derbilt died at the Glenham Hotel at D m. from pistol shot wound in the head while laboring under great mental excitement" :" No date has been fixed for the inquest.

A Sheriff's Freak Ends ina Death,

ASheriff's Freak Ends ina Death.
 DANvILLE, April Conformation has just been received here that Sheriff William Estes, of Stokes county, N. O., was shot on the 30th ult., while robbing his own office. He left home to be absent some days, and directed his wife not to allow anyone to stay all night, and at the same time gave her the safe key. About dark one of the neighbors came to his house and Mrs. Estes having raised no objection, he went off to room to spend the night. After he retired two men came to the house and asked leave to stay, and Mrs. Estes objected. They, how ever, went in and demanded the safe key, threatening to kill her if she refused it. She ran up stairs and informed her guest and was told by him to go down, deliver the key and say nothing of his presence. The men then proceeded to rob the safe. While they were thus engaged Mrs. Estes friend came down and killed both of the men. Upon an exam ination it was found that one of them was the sheriff, who had disguised himself, and the other was one of his neiphbors

The Lawrence Strikers Still Firm.
 LAWRENCE, April "A mass meeting of weavers and spinners was held at the City Hall last evening. About twelve hundred persons were present. There was much en- thusiasm and number of addresses were made. The strikers greeted with misses any advice to return to the Pacific mill and cheered the speakers who counselled standing out. John o. GiIvey, president of the Weavers' Union, read resolution, which was adopted to the effect that the citizens of Lawrence rendered their sympathy to the strikers and indorsed their action. Among the speakers were John K. Tarbox and sev- eral State Representatives. Mir. Tarbox's re- marks were generally favorable to continu- ance of the strike, and it is thought that the meeting has banded more firmly together the discontented operatives.

 PARIS, April Mrs. Mackay is exceeding ly indignant at the reports current of her daughters approaching marriage with a scion of the Bourbons She informed a VoItaire reporter the other day that there was not q word of truth in the story. "If a monarch were to propose for Miss Mackay," declared her mother, The would be refused" Mrs Mackay expressed herself very strongly on the whole subject. She complains that she is besieged by fortune hunters. 'Tf this goes on I shall have to put notice up on the door," said the wrathful little lady, ':an- nouncing that in conformity with American customs Miss Mackay will not have any mar riage portion" A curious commentary on this social incident is supplied today by the Madrid correspondent of the G0u20js, who, in noticing the reports about Don Philippe, the Bourbon in question, and Miss Mackay, observes that Paris does not seem to know that Don Philippe was married morganatic- ally to a widow called Bordre on the 18th of February last.
