DIED: April 10Th, 1883, near Sink
ing Fork, Ky, in this county, Mrs. c..
L. Burgess, wife of James c. Burgess,
aged As years, II months and II days,
Of heart disease.
The subject of this sketch was born
and reared in this (Christian) county,
near where she breathed her last, al
ways being an upright, christian la
dy, beloved by her neighbors and
friends. She was consistent menu
Der of the Baptist church, and died
rejoicing in full hope of blissful I'M
mortality. She leaves an aged molh-
er, husband, five children, brothers
and sisters to mourn their loss, and
miss her cheerful presence forever on
earth. How she loved to talk of that
glorious mansion in Heaven! Being
perfectly rational to the last moment I;
when the dawn of day was breaking,
she called her household to her bed
side, and told them she was diving,
and would soon take her flight 10 her
home on high; and before nine
O'Clock, she grew SO weak she could
speak only in whispers, yet bidding
them all TO "nIcct her in Heaven, "and
when she could speak no longer, she
would point with her finger to the
"bright shore aud thus calmly and
peacefully, without struggle, passed
away, her blessed soul winged its
way to the God who gave it. Oh,
how blessed it is, to die christian.
Husband, children, turn your minds
toward Heaven, and know there
awaits your loved wife and mother
reckoning you upward! Lament not,
for in angelic bliss she rcigns, her
robes made white in the blood of her
Rcdccmcr, and ROW chants with Sc
raphs round the throne of God.
Farewell mother! Thou hast leftus,
On earth, thy face no more we'll see,
But. ia Heaven, we hope To meet,
And live fOr ever more with thee.

The Covington Commonwealth and
Newport State Journal will please
inform an anxious public whether or
not they arc advocates of bolting in
conventions. Would Col. Jone. ;
nomination have been fairly and
honorably obtained if the Owen
county delegates had been allowed to
disregard positive instructions? To
bring the matter down to very few
words: if Col. Jones is a man who
would accept a nomination secured
by such means, he is not the pure, in
corruptible statesman we have al
ways believed hun, and is unfit to be
Governor, Senator or even Justice
of the Peace. His friends are kick
ing" because they claim that he was
nominated by votes stolen from Knott
and yet they are crying fraud. Prob
ably they never heard of the thief
who joined in the chase and yelled
"thief! theft as Justify as the most
honest pursucr. There is horrible
suspicion abroad that certain dis
gruntled friends of Col. Jones have
more cheek than government mule.
If these gentlemen are good and true
Democrats let them stop this nom
sense and go to work for their party
nominees.

Somebody in Newport has sent us
a paper with paragraph about the
action of the Jones delegates in Owen
county marked. Whoever it is will
not be able to accomplish much in
this direction. We were one of the
three secretaries IN the Louisville
convention who took down the vote,
in the ballot between Knott and
Jones. The other two were Col. j..
ID. Powers, Of Owensboro, and a
young man whom we afterwards
learned was John Marshall, of Louis
vile. There never was time when
the result of the ballot could have
been announced and the talk of fraud
is the veriest nonsense. Votes were
changed under the rule that Col.
Jones friends helped to pass and
they have no right to kick or cause
to complain. They have not raised
any special objection to the vote that
was taken from Knott and given to
Jones in Franklin county and that
was after the change in Owen. Col,
Jones nor his friends cannot tell lis
anything about that ballot that we
do not already know. We were add
ing up the figures and only one col
um had been summed up when the
changing began. Whoever il is that
is sending us marked papers is
"wasting his sweetness on the desert
air."

1t is not often that we see anything
from the pen of Zeno Young that is
true, but the following report of his
speech at Henderson is very near a
true statement ofthe facts:
eve spoke our "little piece" A
mob of outraged, indignant auditors
met us at the door of the Opera
House and wanted to interview us
with clubs, pistols and shot guns, but
as it was our first offense and we
promised it should be our last, they
gave us twenty-four hours to leave
town. We thanked them and told
them six hours would be enough, and
early the next morning we shook the
dust of the city from our feet and
walked home. The committee who
arranged the programme did not get
off so well. They had to climb out a
back window and flee for their lives.
John Lyme took to the woods, and
when last seen Cannon was making
Texas jack-rabbit time on the Nor
garfield road, twenty miles from
home, hatless, bootless and almost
breathlcss. He has sent word back
that he had gone over TO Asia Minor
for his health and wouldn't DO back
until the excitement was over. Our
sympathies are with the mob, for
their action was justitiable. They
couldn't be expected to stand every
thing. The Henderson people are
hearty, enthusiastic and unanimous
in anything they undertake. If they
entertain one they do it in elegant
style, and if they hang fellow they
hang him so dead that subsequent
proceedings interest him no more.
They hung a fellow there a few
months ago and we feel that we had
narrow escape. Our promise to
them that we would never repeat the
oficnse of torturing their sensitive
ears with ''spccch," we shall keep
inviolate with that religious fidelity
that Trappist monk gives to his
vows. We are thankful we got off
with no broken bones, but we would
probably have felt the vengeance of
the mob anyhow if it had net bcca
for the fearful interccssions of Ad.
Young, JAS. F. Clay, j. ii. Powell
and other friends of ours, to whom
we are eternally grateful. If they
are ever in a like prclicamcnt they
can count ON us to come to their res
cuc, for ingratitudc is not one of our
sins.

The new Brooklyn bridge, which
was opened on the 9th ult., was the
scene of horror on the 30th. A
stoppagc of the long line of foot pas
sengers over the bridge caused a
crush at one Of the stairways on the
New York side. The crowd behind
pushed upon those in front until
many were fainting and dying, and
still the rear pressed on. There was
no stopping it,and the bridge tenders,
to give relief, took out some of the
railing, when the surging mass
crowded those in front over the edge,
and they fell on the rugged street be-
low, a mass of mangled humanity.
Fifteen were killed, and great many
