ANDY TAYLOR AT LOUDON.

AAOL n LOh Il LOOOOH.
Andy Taylor was sent from Nashville
over the Louisville aud Nashville road
and so reached Loudon by way of the
Knoxville and Ohio road, last Friday,
the officials in charge OF the prisoner
fearing shat an attempt would be made
TO lynch him at Chattanooga if he pass
ed through that place. he is now lodg-
ed in the LoudOn Jail. At Knoxville a
Chronicle reporter talked short time
with the prisoner, who seemed much
depressed and not disposed to speak of
his brother John, having claimed, while
on the way to Knoxville, that the latter
had died of fever in Kansas. Taylor
said he was ''all torn up" by travel, loss
of sleep and excitement incident to his
arrest and return here. In reply to an
inquiry as to the whereabouts of his
brother john, the prisoner said, "Well
TO tell you the fact, id if know any
thing about john" Andy Taylor is
an illiterate man, rough in appearance
and quiet in demeanor, and exhibited
no signs of fear ON arriving here. He
is quite a young man, having not yet
completed his twentieth Year-a few
thin, sandy hairs, which he terms a
moustache, indicating his approach to
mature manhood. Andy Taylor states
that he was induced by his brother Bob
to attempt the rescue of his brother
JOhn-the older brother saying that
John could be released without blood
shed. He confesses that he accom-
panied Bob for that purpose, and adds
i'm extenuation of his crime that he be-
came involved in the bloody affair un-
thoughtedly. He claims that he was
never before arraigned for any act OF
lawlessness, and expresses deep remorse
for the deed.

LUCK AT LOTTERY.
How a StOrekeeper at VermiIi.
OnVilIe and Barber in Chi
cagO Won Themselves
Fortunes

Twenty seven years ago Anatole
Tricot, a young FIenchman, native of
Vendame, France, came to New Orleans
in search of a fortune. He was Door
yet Industrious, but for a long time, de-
spite all his struggles, he was unable to
accumulate any considerable amount of
money but nevertheless, he married
His wife proved to be helpmate and
helpmeet, and, what is better than all,
was lucky-in fact, a mascot. The pair
managed to save money and purchased
property in Vermilionville, where Tri-
cot opened a country store. Their bust
ness increased and all prospered with
them, but no children blessed their un-
ion, and they accordingly adopted an
orphan boy.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Tricot
purchased one-fifth of Louisiana State
Lottery ticket, No. 81 ,887, and laid it
aside, little dreaming of what the future
had in store for her. Last night Tues
day the drawing was held, and No 50,
887 won the capital prize of SIS, 900.
The following day the list reached
VermilIonYille. and Mr.. Tricot compar-
ed his ticket with the lit, when he dis
covered that his wife held the winning
ticket, and he Immediately made prep
arations to come to the city.
The money Was promptly paid, and
Mr.. Tricot went forth rich aud happy
man, satisfied in every particular. he
said that now he would visit sunny
France, his native land, again, and
would invest So, 900 in real estate in
Vendome. The remainder he wonld
invest, and on the interest derived could
live comfortably to the end of his days.

A CARD FROM MRS. MAT8Es.

To the Editor Of The A0rristown Gazette:
I noticed a card in THE GAZETTE this
week, written by Mrs. Luttrell, stating
that false report had gotten out from
neighboring family in regard TO Mrs.
Read and her son Toms disease. AS she
started the report and has now denied
il publicly in the paper, l cannot resist
answering il. / deem it unnecessary to re-
peat any of Mrs. L. words in her card,
as she stated the report very different
from what she told me. / repeat il as
she told IL me and as l told DR.. NeiIsou,
when he came to me 90 know what she
said to me. She was at nay fence either
on Friday the 9th or Saturday the 9TH
evening, do not remember which, and
said that DIR. N. was at their house the
night that Mrs. Read died and said that
he didn't know what was the matter
with her, but she was like her son Tom,
and also that he didn't think she would
live through the night, and IL he were
in their place he wouldn't go there as.
he thought the disease was catching.
She said he came back the second
time the same night and said Mrs. II.
was dead, but that her disease wasn't
like Toms. She remarked that
she thought this last expression
very strange i'm him. Now, this was
the precise language she used-w0rd
for word. didn't speak of it until the
next week, when told my husband eff
it. While telling him, my cook, COL
ored girl, by the name of Sallie Davis,
spoke aud said that Mrs-rL9 told berthe
same thing in her own house while
over there on Wednesday,, while was

lIeved Mrs. l.. was telling The truth
when she told me, as bad never had
cause TO doubt her wsrd, but why she
denied cannot tell--it 10 n mystery To
me. / heard that Mr.. l.. went in and
saw Mrs. Read-but ms for her son. he
told me that he was called in while
passing, TO assist i'm putting Tom i'm the
coffin, and he told me he was afraid,
but IL was something he couldn't well

A MODERN MIRAnLR

On the authority of scores of the best
people of Maryvilie, the Knoxville
Tribune tells of this wonderful occur
renee: Mrs. w. G. Newly, of Maryville,
has for three years been deprived of the
power Of speech. For two years she
consulted many physicians and spent
much money in the hopes of regaining
her speech or obtaining some relief
from her terrible affiiction. She de-
SPARED of ever being any better, and
for the last year has had no medical as
sistance. She is member OF the So
ciety of Friends, or what is generally
known as Quaker. Last Thursday
Mrs. Newly resolved to call upon the
Lord; in faith asked Him to restore her
speech. She went down into the cellar
and began to pray fervently. She pray
ed long and earnestly. She promised
the Lord that if He would deliver her
from her affection, that she would ever
bless His name and proclaim His praise.
Immediately she began to sing Praise
God from Whom all Blessings Flow"
She came up from the cellar singing
and has since had perfect use of speech.

A distressing tragedy occurred at
Dayton, Ohio, on the 9th. John
O'Connell and wife missed their little
daughter and started in search without
feeling any alarm. Passing near the
deep canal, they discovered their child
struggling in the drowning agonies.
The father plunged in to its rescue, hut
was unable to swim, and was seized
with cramps, and sank. The wife
sprang in to assist her husband and
child, and she also sank. The entire
family were taken out dead few min
utes later by some men who were at
tracted by the Mothers screams, and
who witnessed part of the tragedy, but
could not reach them in time. -

The New Patent
DUST : PROOF
Stem Winding Open Face Case,
MANUFACTURED BY THE
American Watch Co
WALTHAM, MASS.

This case is formed in one solid piece without
joint or seam, opening in front only, thus avoid.
ing the usual Cap, and securing greater strength
and durability.
These Watches are all open face. The bezel
into which an extra strong crystal is fitted with
an especially prepared waterproof cement, is at
tached to the case by screwing it thereon, and
thus forms air-tight junction with the body Of
the case, which is proof against dust and mois-
ture
To railroad men, travellers, mi ers, lumber
men and others who are almost constantly ex-
posed and who have to make frequent reference
to the watch, these qualities are of the utmost
impOl lance.
