A GREAT SENSATION.
A Bride Of Three Days Under
Arrest.
MEMPHIS SCANDAL
A Son While Attempting to Defend
His Home Shoots and In
stantly Kills His Mother.

JoSEsBoRo, ARK, June PA great SEN
sation was created here to-day by the arrest
of Mrs. Della Isom nee Wilson, bride of
only three days, charged With having stolen
about $500 from Mrs MolEe Sharp, wife of
Jacob Sharp, Circuit Clerk Of this county.
Your representative, hearing the rumor,
called on Mr.. Sharp this afternoon and had
an interview with him. The facts obtained
are as follows For some time past Mrs.
Della Wilson has been living in the
house of Mr.. Sharp as norexactly hired
servant but as helper to Mrs Sharp
in her household duties. Mrs Sharp, being
an economical lady, had saved up about
$500 for rainy day, and had placed 1t in
tin box and buried it in the garden. Some
two weeks ago Mr. Sharp took his wife and
afflicted child to Indianapolis for medical
treatment leaving Miss Wilson in charge Of
the house. Mr. Sharp returned home few
days ago, leaving Mrs. Sharp and child at
indianapolis. During Mr.. Sharp's absepce
Miss Wilson was seen seen spending money
lsyishly and making grand arrangements
for her approaching wedding, it being
known that she was soon to marry a man
named Isom. Last Sunday the happy
couple
Were Made One.
Mr. Sharp, hearing how recklessly Mrs.
Wilson had been spending money, became
alarmed for the safety of his wites treasure,
but knew not what to do, as he did not
know where his wife had placed the money.
He telegraphed his wife to know where the
money was. Upon receiving an answer he
went to the place designated, dug up the
box and on counting, found nearly $500
missing. He at once swore out warrant
Tor Mrs. Isom's arrest The warrant was
given to Deputy Sheriff Lamb. who
proceeded to the residence and ar
rested Mrs. Isom. She denied
having the money, but the Sheriff, upon
making search, found $50 in gold tied up in
bag of rags in back room, also $40 in q
pocketbook. An investigation proved thai
She had spent about 5000 around town, and
it being all in gold and it being known that
she had no money Of her own, she was held
under arreot and will have preliminary ex
animation before Judge Parr in a day Of
two. Mrs. Isom declares her innocence bu'
proof is very strong against her. Mrs
lsom has heretofore borne an exceiledI
reputation, and all who know her were
shocked al Developments.

LEWIS COUNTY.


A Big, Enthusiastic Convention of Demo-
Gratis.
WESTON, June 81 Special. Lewis
county held lie convention yesterday to ap-
point delegates TO the State Congressional
and Senatorial Conventions, and more en-
thusiastic gathering of Democracy was never
witnessed in our county. Circuit Court
being now in session the convention was
not organized until o'clock p. m, at
which time Hon. ]. NJ. Bennett, in manly
speech, called the house to order. Hon.
4. A. Lewis was made chairman and
Messrs. W. B. McGary and j. NJ. West sec
retaries.
On taking the chair Mr.. Lewis made a
speech replete with good sense and arrayed
the Republican party as one of extravaganza
and inconsist ency. Thirty-three delegates
Sere chosen to represent the county at the
State, Congressional and Senatorial Conven-
tons. A resolution was offered asking the
convention to instruct for Hon. A. Edmin-
ston for State Senate and Judge Brannon
for Congress, which was adopted with
Wild enthusiasm. The resolution asking
that Hon. E. Eoyd Faulkner be nominated
Tor Governor was withdrawn.
Delegates.
The following delegates were chosen to
the State Convention; n. B. Newton, Chas.
O'Hara, Andy Edmiston, G. c. Law
son, ]. jackson John Morrow,
Ed. Post, J. H. Stainaker, J. NJ West G.
NJ. Marsh, G. NJ. Chidester, John Brannon,

H. Kemper, J. +. Butcher, J. f. Morris
W. W Hall, Lon Smith, W, B McGary
Judge 4. A. Edwards and Hon. A. A.
Lewis.
The convention, all in all, was trium-
phant affair, and it is thought that the pro-
poets of the party have been
Greatly Increased
by this days work. The convention was
addressed BY w f. Lively in an able speech.
W. G. Bennett also made one Of his usual
forcible speeches which was received with
applause. There were about four hundred
representative Democrats in the convention,
and although some spirited remarks were
made the convention adjourned and bespoke
a harmony that will ensure in this county
Democratic majority Of from 300 to 500
votes.
Blatant Republicans who were present
with the hope Of seeing the Convention end
in confusion and diScord, retired with ex-
pectations blasted If every county in the
State will work as Lewis county Democrats
are working to secure harmony and success,
we will enjoy the pleasurable opportunity Of
officiating at the obsequies Of The now
already disorganizedand corrupt Republican
party. We will conclude with the pertinent
fact that the old landmarks Of Democracy
declared the convention the largest and
most representative ever held in the Demo-
cratic county of Lewis. IT the Democrats
at Wheeling on July % will nominate
grand and aggressive ticket, you may set
Lewis. county down for four hundred Demo
cratic majority, for by to-day work all bick-
erings animosities and schisms wn-e buried
by the concord of united action.
