From the Marietta tGa.l Journal.
Jennie Jackson, the negro woman at

injuries that resulted in, his death, and

fair, has returned to Athens, The police
should keep an eye on this woman and the
first time she violates the law
arrest and lodge her in Jail. The city is
filled with reports about the manner that

the next grand jury, IL not before. Our
people are surprised that the parents OF
the deceased, while in Athens, did not
take steps toward ierreting out the cause
OF their sons death. His body is said to
have been covered with bruises, that
could not have been made by the fall, and
he laid in his bed screaming In agony all
night before a doctor was sent for. Mr..
Thornton, with whom he boarded, eX-
planning that he supposed him under the
influence Of liquor, aud not hurt. 1t was
Norris watch that a colorvd woman found
on the street a few weeks ago and honestly
returned 10 him. This is one OF the most
mysterious a@airs that has ever happened
in Athens.

A Dead Mans Hand.
It Traced Will That Will Now lie
Broken.

Evidence was taken by Surrogate Lott
in Brooklyn yesterday i'll regard TO the
will of Dennis Blake, whose name, it is
alleged, was traced upon ii after he was
dead. After his death it was stated that
he was alive and his burial was delayed
in consequence until the rumors were
set at rest by satisfactory proof OF his
death. Arthur Clark, one Of the wit
nesses to the will, testified to-day that
while Mr.. DOnnelly was writing the Will
he fell The teStatOrs pulse, and said: If
you don't hurry up he is gone" The
pulsations of his heart had apparently
stopped. Donnelly then put a pen in
Blake's hand and guided it across the
will. The witness believed the man was
dead at the time. The lawyer asked
him no questions, but if he had Blake
would not have been able to answer.
After the name had been traced on tie
will it was changed so that the word
brother" was made cousin" and le-
gacy of 1920 to one Of the girls was made
$3.50 to each Of them. The witness said
he signed the will after the death OF
Blake, and did not know that IL wa:
fraudulent to do so. The testator did
not ask him to sign the will; nor did h,
say it was his will.
William Blake, the other witness t
the will testified that the signature o
the dead man was traced after lie wa
extinct. There is no contest in regar,
to the provisions Of the will.

THEY WANT THE PRESIDENT TO APPOINT MR..
STALL PUBLIC PRINTER.

X.
STALL PUBLIC PRINTER.
The democrats of the Indiana delegation
called upon the President last Saturday to urge
the appointment of ]. b. Stall to succeed Mr..
Rounds as public printer. They urged that it
was necessary to save the state OF Indiana to
the party that something should be done, and
that the appointments of Mr.. Stall was the thing.
Mr.. Cleveland, it is reported, did not seem TO
appreciate the necessity for making the APP
pOintment to save Indiana to the democrats,
thinking that the democrats there ought to be
able to take care OF that, and he assured them
that he did not intend to make any change in
the place of public printer during this session OF
Congress. He said that the position was a very
important one, and that Mr.. Rounds was con-
Quoting the work with efficiency. He could see
no reason why a change should be made at this
time, at the risk of causing confusion and in
terferng with the work OF Congress.
The delegation went away very wrathful,
some OF them predicting that the democrats
would lose everything In the state this fall, and
that a republican Senator would be elected to
succeed Harrison.
