A MURDEROUS NEGRO
Poisons q Whole Family with "Rough
on Rats"---A Very Narrow Escape.

On last Friday morning John l..
Fly, ESQ.,, one of Gibson county's
best citizens, came near losing his
whole family as well as his own life,
at his residence near Gibson. Soon
after breakfast every member of the
family, including the cook, were ta>
ken violently i'll, with indications that
they had been poisoned. Two physi-
clans were called in and worked with
them all day before they we're brought
again this side the danger line.
Twelve persons were sick in one room
at the same time, and for a while it
was thought they could not recover;
but, thanks to prompt and vigorous
work of the physicians, they have all
convalesced. On investigation it was
found that negro man named Henry
Manning had been in the kitchen be-
fore any one else that morning, which
aroused suspicion. He was arrested
and in his possession was found a
quantity of the above>named deadly
poison. On trial before a magistrate
the evidence developed against Man.
ming was considered sufficient to send
him to Jail, where he now is. 1t is
said that he was angry with son of
MIR. Fly, who had threatened to whip
his (Manning's) child, and it is
thought he was taking his revenge in
this murderous manner. If he is re-
ally guilty, he should suffer the ex-
treme penalty of the law.

RAILWAY RACKET.

The L. u N. pay train came in last
Tuesday and staked the boys.
Is there any reason or good common
sense in railroad engineers blowing
such ear>piercing shrieks of the whis.
tie right in the heart of town ? 1t
does seem to us that it should be
stopped.
1t is rumored in Louisville that
Mr.. Albert Fink has been offered
the Presidency Of the Louisville q
Nashville railroad, and has been ne
quested by President Baldwin to ac.
cept the place.
Mr.. B. F. Stroud, general road
master between Bowling Green and
Memphis, was married to Mrs. Anna
Tedro, in Paris, on the 18th, and is
now receiving the congratulations OF
his army of friends along the line.

A Hard Little Criminal.

Some six years ago Mr.. John j.
Bass, who lives a few miles west of
here, took a little waif from the coun.
ty poor house, with the intention of
giving him an education and making
man of him. The little fellow is
named Eddie Hesse, the son of wild
ow, who was sent out from Hum.
boldt to the poor house, dying shortly
afterward. He was not more than
five years old at that time, and of
course has been an expense to Mr..
Bass ever since. A few weeks ago
he concluded to put the boy to work
on his farm, as school was out, and
he was now growing large enough to
do light work. But it seems this did
not suit the little rascals ideas at all.
AS soon as Mr.. Bass left home, Eddy
stole eleven dollars from wardrobe
and skipped out. He was afterward
heard of at Greenfield, where he stole
two pistols and knife, which were
recovered from him. He then
threatened to burn the town, which
caused the people their to hold him
until Mr.. Bass could go after him.
He was carried back home, talked to
kindly, but not whipped. But the
devi! appears to have taken posses.
sion Of him, for he stole a lot of oney
and thirty dollar watch from Mr..
Bass last Sunday and left again. He
went to Humboldt, came to Milan,
then went to Mckenzie, Dresden and
Martin, where he was finally captured
and brought here last Wednesday.
He was carried from here to the
Trenton Jail, Mr.. Bass declining to be
further responsible for him. He is a
small, bright fellow, but seems tC
be saturated with meanness. 1t viii
be pity to send him to the peniten
tiary, yet it is unsafe to allow him tC
run at large. The state needs house
of refuge in which to reform such baC
boys. He said he had good pisto
in box in Dresden, which he threat
ened to use on a man he was talkin.
with here.

In our announcement column will
be found the name of Mr.. James T.
Newton, of the Eaton district, who IS
candidate for Register. Mr.. New
ton is gentleman of fine address and
Is fully competent to fill the Office ac.
ceptably. Another point in his favor
is, his district has no county officer
and has had none in many wears.
therefore they put him forward as a
representative man. We bespeak for
him the careful consideration of orr
readers.
DIR. j. A. Arlington, of jackson,
one OF the best dentists in the south
has been in our town several days
this week, and our people have given
him very little rest since he came.
His rooms have been crowded with
some of our best people, and he has
done some excellent work. We are
pleased to learn that the Doctor will
ln future put in about one week in
each month in our town, thus giving
our people an opportunity to have
frst-class dental work done
Jack f. Jones, our able and popu-
lar county Register. is announced this
week as candidate for reelection.
1t is unnecessary for us to say much
in his favor here. All our people
know him, and he received the heay-
lest vote here when elected that was
ever cast for any man. He has in
troduced one great time saving con-
venlenee in his office in the shape of
a "double back action index" by the
use of which any one can find any
deed recorded Oh his books in few
moments. 1t is really great i'm
provement, for which he deserves
credit.

Two weeks ago we inserted a three
line advertisement in our 6ve-cent
column-only publishing it once, and
not referring to it elsewhere-calling
for a milk COW. Since then we have
had more responses than we can re.
member, and we now notify the pub
lie that we have COW. We refer to
this merely to convince our readers
that the smallest and most obscure ad.
vertisement in paper is read, and to
intimate that it will pay every one to
let the public know when he has any
thing to sell, or when he wants to buy
anything. Read the cheap column,
as we'll as the others. You will find
something new in it.
The farewell sermon of the Rev.
DIR. Lloyd last Sunday was heard by
one of the largest congregations we
have seen in a church here for long
time. His text was Ephesians vi. IA.
II, from which he constructed an
able gospel sermon, one which all who
heard will do well to remember and
profit by. Many of his hearers were
edited and expressed their regret that
he was called to leave our town. Rev.
M. NJ. Taylor, pastor of the Metho-
dist church, closed the service with a
tender, earnest prayer for the future
happiness and usefulness of the rever
end gentleman and his family, which
we indorse in hearty amen.

Rev. j. n. Hail, editor of the Bap>

Strawberries were somewhat dam'

Between forty and fifty of the parishioners of the Methodist church gathered at the res idence of Mr J. H. Stock last Wednesday evening, and marched to the parsonage on Center street to give the Rev. B. F. Kidder and wife surprise visit on the advent of their going to housekeeping. The worthy couple entered the state of matrimony last winter The party was laden with numerous mysterious packages, and on arriving at the parsonage rang the bell, Mrs Kidder answer ing the ring To her astonishment, instead of one there was 8 multitude, who ushered themselves in and took possession without any ceremony. Mir. and Mrs. Kidder sur rendered and greeted them with much warmth. The evening was spent in social en- joyment
 During the evening Mir Edward Mix after a few we'll chosen remarks presented the worthy couple in behalf of the ladies and society connected with the church, a full set of sill yer knives and forks Also MT. Willie Brown with suitable remarks, in behalf of the Young Peoples Aid society, presented them with dozen silver tea spoons and soup ladle. Mir. Kidder was completely taken aback, saying that the whole thing was a complete surprise to his wife as well as himself and made other remarks which were well timed and spoken in very feeling manner. He thanked them for the tokens that they had presented to them and hoped to always merit their esteem. Ms. Kidder was not forgot ten by her Sabbath school class, which pre- sented her with large pitcher, goblets and other glass articles. There were also several other useful presents from other members of the parish MT. and Mrs. Kidder since they came to West Haven have gained the esteem of all, and their friends took this method of showing their regard for them.
