Fatal Fire,


Last Saturday night about eight
o'clock the-residence of Rev. Steph-
en- NJ. Emmens about 16 miles east
of Pulaski was found to be burning.
The fire originated in the kitchen
and had gained such Roadway when
discovered that it vas dangerQua to
remain in it and it's occupants hur-
ried out without making any effort
to save the household furniture.
When Mr.. Emmons had left the
house he remembered a pocket book
left in bureau drawer and ran in
to recover II. He fonnd the draw
er difficult to open and while he
was trying to unfasten it q door
near by gave way suddenly and he
was enveloped in sheet of flames.
He staggered blindly toward the
door but was overcome by the heat
and fell PHOSPHATE on the Aopr near
the doorway. His grand daughter
saw him fall and going to his as
sistance succeeded in getting him
out of the burning house. His
head, face and hands were terribly
burned and it is thought he inhal-
ed the fame. He fingered in great
agony until Monday morning about
IL O'Clock when death came to his
relief. When first carried from the
house, although in torture himself,
he expressed great solicitude con-
corning other inmates of the house
and seemed much relieved on being
told that all were safe. Mr.. En-
mons was an elderly man, well
known in both Lincoln and Giles
and had many friends in both conn-
tipa

On Friday the 9Th, Mr.. B. F. Les
ter of Testers station accidentally
struck the little finger OF his left
hand with a hammer inficting q
painful bruise. 1t seemed a trivial
matter and he came to Pulaski
next day on business. No atten-

Monday morning when alarming
symptoms developed and Drs. Geo..
D. Butler and W. G. Williams were
called in. They found Mr.. Lester
suffering with lockiaw. Despite
skillful medical treatment and care
fol nursing he sank rapidly. He
died Thursday and was buried at
Maplewood in Pulaski Saturday.
His death was foreseen in time to
notify his relatives and friends of
his condition. His brnther, Capt
Jno. G. Lester OF this city, was
summoned to his bedside Wednes-
day and was with him when he
died. Mr.. Lester was SO years of
age and leaves large family. He
was a good citizen, loved aid re-
spected by all who knew him and
his death is a loss and bereave-
ment to the community in which he
lived

al Gentle Slugger.

A band of gypsies passed through
the city Tuesday, and during the
short halt they made here one of the
ladies in the party became intoxi-
Gated, and somewhat belligerent.
While in this muscular frame Of
mind she engaged in ! ebate with a
gentleman of the party. The de-
bate was progressing quite smooth
ly, and the gentleman wore an affa-
Bile smile which INDICATED that ne
thought he had the best of the ar.
gumcnt till the lady suddenly
handed him a blow behind the left
ear which came near dislocatipg
his jaw. The gentleman was care
lessly eliminating a large guild Of
well masticated Virginia leaf when
this unexpected argument vas Of
fered, and as he did not regain his
presence..of mind in time TO renew
his grip, the quid escaped from the
capacious openinglin the forepart of
his head, and flying across the
street pasted itself on the door of
aD adjacent building. The gentle
nan went TO grass under the blow,
but picked himself up with an air

A Talented Fisherman.

The fishing season was formally
opened last Tuesday on the banks of
Richland by two parties, ope con-
sisting of Messrs. Casey, Cooper
and Arrowsmltb, and the other Mr..
E. r. Sumpter. The gentlemen of
the first party surprised their
friends when they returned, by ac-
knowledging that they had caught
nothing. Mr.. Sumpter's story of his
exploits is more professional like"
as Silver Jim would say. We give
his story just as he tells it. We
cannot undertake to endorse the
story unqualifiedly, bat will dc the
gentleman the justice to say that a
more truthful fisherman never spit
on a hook. He says he caught
twelve fine trout, the largest weigh
ing % lbs. He said it weighed
about lbs. on his scales, but adj
mitted that hia scales we're falsely
adjusted for the spe cisl purpose of
weighing fish. Said the fish were
taking the hook as fast as he could
throw it in when his minnows gave
out and be had to quit. just at
this point of the Narrative Mr..
Sumptef was reminded by 3 by
stander that he had carried plenty
of minnows to last a whole day,
and some surprise and doubt seem
ed implied by the reminder. Mr..
sumpter's explanation of the loss
Of his mfnnows shows hog hard it
is to catch Q first Class fisherman
in lie. He said the place where
the fish seemed SD numerous was
