Mr.. Henry Matthews, O. c., M. P, a
barrister Of high standing and great
ability, but not hitherto distinguished
as a politician, has been appointed Sec
retary of State for the Home Department
In the new Conservative Government.
He was born In CeylOn In 1926, and OBJ
tained his education partly on the Con
tinent and partly In England. He
graduated at the University Of Paris ss
BaohelOr-of-Arts, and, having studied
law at University College, London, he,
In 1849, graduated Liza. at the UniVer-
sity of London, carrying off the UniVer-
sity Law Scholarship of ESQ year for
three years. In the same year he was
elected Fellow Of University College.
Meantime Mr.. Matthews had been ad-
mitted at LincOln's Inn, where he was
called to the bar In 1850. He speedily
obtained practice, and was engaged In
many important cases; but the occasion
upon which he first greatly distin-
guished himeelf was in the three suits
brought by several members or cOnnec-
tiOns of the Borghese family at Rome,
who claimed share Of the Shrewsbury
estates.
Mr.. Matthews was leading counsel In
the Slade case of inheritance Of estates
and baronetcy in 1867; then he was en-
gagged in several criminal cases of great
notorIety, also In the TichbOrne case,
and In the Epping Forest litigation;
while his conduct Of the Crawford di-
vorce case, In the most recent phase of
the proceedings. Is fresh In the public
memory. In 1868 he was created @
c., elected a Bencher OF Lincoln's Inn,
and returned to Parliament as member
for DungarVen. From 1872 to 1876 he
acted as Examiner In Common Law to
The Council of Legal Education, post
that his scholarship and his practical
experience pre-eminently qualified him
20 fill He sat for Dungarven till the
dissolution of 1874, but in 1874, 1876 and
1889 he contested the sam constituency
without success. In the autumn Of 1885
similar ill-fortuns attended his candi-
dature in North Birmingham. At the
recent general election, however, he
headed the poll 10 East Birmingham,
beating Mr.. Alderman Cook, the former
mayor. Being Obliged to seek re elec
tion, in consequence of taking office,
M. Matthews had again the same Oppo-
nent; but Mr.. Cook having withdrawn
his nomination, the new Home Secre-
tary was declared duly elected. Mr.. Mat
thews Is Roman Catholi3.

Navarro Notes.

NARyARRE, O.. Sept. AT abou:
11:30 O'Clock on Wednesday night, while
Frank Davy was at work In the Rose
hill mine, a lot of stone fell upon him
and broke the large bone in the upper
portion Of his right leg. He received
painful injuries in his back, but 1t Is
not apprehended that they will prove
very serious. "a
The earthquake was very perceptible
at this place, although no serious dam
age was done. Many people were badly
scared. They felt their beds moving
and jumped out, imagining burglars
were hid underneath and were causing
the beds to move. Furniture and pic
tures in different houses were consider
ably shaken up and doors were swung
to upon their hinges.
Prof. J. e. McKeon, of Dundee, has
been selected by the Board of Education
to fill the vacancy In the superinten-
dency Of the schools at this place caused
by the removal of Superintendent Wei
mer to the Cleveland Central High
School.
Great preparations are being made
for the soldiers reunion at Justus, three
miles west of Navarro, Friday. Major
Mckinley Is expected to figure prOmi-
nently In the OratOrical display.

[From his Speech to his Kentucky Constituent

[From his Speech to his Kentucky Constituentsl
cannot close without congratulsting
you that an era of industrial and com
mercial prosperity has begun; that there
Is general revival In business; that
mills and factories are again In opera
tiOn, and that the great crowds of idle
men In cities and along the lines of rail
roads have been called back to their old
shops or new ones, and that there Is evil
dent everywhere general satisfaction
and content. Politically, the passions
engendered by the war and the strife
preceding 1t are dying out, and every
American citizen now recognizes that
the glory and honor of this great coun-
try belong to no one section and to no
one class of men, and one Of the great
est achievements of the present admin
istratiOn has been that It has secured
not only union of States, but union
of the people. After twenty years the
men Of the North and South are called
together In the national councils, and
the only rivalry between them is In pur-
suit Of the welfare Of the whole people
II any man cannot congratulate himself
over these things 1t Is because he Is not
insensible to the obligations of citizen
ship, but to the blessings of good gov
ernment. Let us see that there shall be
no failure here. Peaceful and prosper.

A Modern Samson.


purpose giving short sketch of
the life Of o man who was little known
out Of Granville Corners, in Washing
ton county, N. Y, where ne was born
and spent the most Of his long life. It
is known of him, and can be proved,
that he has performed feats of strength
un surpassed by any man who has lived
in ancient and modern times, excepting,
of course. the Biblical Samson. His
name is Stearn Carpenter. His oc-
cupation was that of farmer. Being
naturally of a very quiet, peaceable dis
position, and member Of the Society Of
Friends, he never did anything for dis
play to attract attention, but all the feats
of strength be performed were done more
to satisfy himself and to see how much
he could lift than anything else.
One of his greatest feats was lifting
q box filed with iron, which weighed
1900 pounds, He lifted ii with case with
his hands by grasping rope or chain
which was bound around the box
10 secure it. lie did not know the
weight Of tho box at the time and
was afterwards heard to say that had
he known it weighed so near a ton
be would have put on the other hun
dred pounds and lifted the whole. At
another time he lifted a cannon that
weighed 400 pounds and shouldercd
it. At Comstock's Landing, on the
Champlain Canal, near Whitehall, one
day while waiting for load of mer-
chandisc, he lifted barrel of white
lead with case. He performed one of
the greatest feats of strength on record
after he had reached the age Of rs years.
lie lifted two "a foot iron rails by grasp
ing one in each hand and walking off
with them The rails we're resting on
wooden horses, so he did not stoop to lift
them.
One day in haying he was going from
the field with his men to the house for
dinner. They were walking along the
road together, when one of the men for
mischief came up behind him. and by
skillful trip. threw Carpenter down lie
gathered himself up and said nothing
about it, He walked TO the house, and
after dinner, when returning TO the field,
they came along to the place, where the
man gave him tho fall. He suddenly
turned upon the man, aud graspiug him
by the shoulders and the seat Of his
trousers, lifted him and hurled him high
in the air above him and over a seven
foot rail fence, by the side of which they
happened TO be walking The man
came down in the meadow a rod or more
from the fence. considerably shaken up,
but not badly hurt.
Mr.. Carpenter was not gigantic man
in size. lie was about six feet tall, and
appeared much less than that. owing to
bis massive build. There was no super
Auous flesh on him, but the muscles Of
his arms, shoulders and neck seemed to
be piled upon him, so great was their
size. This gave him STOPPING appear

Still Dead.

A good story is told Of one of our
local politicians who was canvassing for
the nomination for county Office. One
afternoon he attended gathering in an
out township; and meeting an intelli-
gent looking young man, whom he
Thought might have some influence,
walked up to him, and shook him warm
ly by the hand, inquiring "How is
your fatber?" The young man answer
ed, "My father has been dead three
years. Indeed" replied the candi-
date, II had not heard Of it, | knew
him intimately. lie was one Of my
best friends, and l regret to hear it,
He was one Of the best and purest men
| ever knew. You have my sympathy"
etc. The same evening he met the same
person in village near by, and hav-
ing forgotten his face, accosted him the
second time with the interrogatory,
."How is your father?" The young
man looked at him for a moment, and

THE FARNUM HOUSE.
The Fam luS Dawson Hotel and Few
Interesting Facts About 1t.

A good hotel nowadays, espe-
peclllly con the road" as the
commercial tourist terms it, is al
most thing of the past. In
these days OF vermin and oleo-
margarine, the commercial tourist
seldom finds n good one, but
when he finds one you may be
sure he appreciates it.
The Farnum House, at Dawson,
is a good hotel, if the testimony
Of the travelling public is taken
into consideration, and they at
least constitute the final court of
appeals. A hotel is known by
the name it bears, and the Far
mum House has been we'll chris
tened.
The proprietress, Mrs. w. c.
Carver, has not been content to
rest the laurels of the house on
its past good reputation, but is
constantly at work renovating
and repairing it, thus adding to
It's comfort in every possible man
ner. For the better accommoda-
tion of the travelling men, she
has recently added two large and
commodious sample rooms, which
will be found to be especially
adapted to their convenience.
The hotel is located in the
heart of the town, has a bus to
meet oil the trains, and a livery
stable run in connection with the
house, thus insuring the utmost
convenience to the guests.
When it comes to comfort, the
table is neatly spread, and at all
times is furnished with the best
the market affords prepared in
the neatest manner possible.
Mrs. Carver is a splendid host
ess and always has an eye to the
comfort of her guests. The rates
are moderate, and the sojourner
in Dawson will find the Farnum
House delightful place at which
to stop.-Macon Telegraph.

Three weeks ago 3. w. Furlong
brutally murdered a defenseless
uegro, and, with the aid of J. NJ.
Lotion and Thomas Sharon, bur-
rie the body in a horse lot within
a hundred and fifty yards of his
house. A number of persons,
white and nlack, had every reason
to believe that a murder had been
committed in their midst, and vet
not syllable was uttered that might
might lead to the punishment OF the
perpetrators of this great crime un-
til the principal actor had hurled
himself into eternity and his
accomplices had fed. The first
news of this terrible tradgedy that
reached Alapaha was Oh Fri
day evening of last week, the even
irg on which Furlong died. At
the inquest some of the witnesses
testified that they knew they would
be killed if they mentioned their
suspicion to outsiders, and it was
this fear of Fnrlong that clogged
