A BAD MAN
Fires Five Shots into a Wagon Load Of Peo
pie and Wounds Two Women.

VIM. Vtrhines lives on the line
OF Montgomery and Stewart counties,
near Indian Mound. Last week he and
his wife parted on account OF his in
humane treatment to her. She return
ed to the home of her parents, and last
Saturday, in company with her father,
mother and sister, started in a wagon
to picnic near Williams store In
Stewart county and in passing the
house where Verhines lived he came
out into the road and fired five shots
into the wagon, none OF which took
effect. Her father, t. E. Keats, got
out of the wagon and attempted to
strike Verhines with chair when his
mules became frightened and he turned
his attention to them. While doing So
Verhines reloaded his pistol and fired
more shots into the wagon, one oil
which struck his wife under the arm,
ranging inward inflicting probably q
fatal wound. Another struck her ais
ter, Miss Keats, in the thigh, inhicting
a painful wound.
Keats then drove to near neighbors
an uncle OF Verhines. Verhines in the
meantime had returned to his house
where he got gun and followed the
wagon. His uncle and cousin met him
took the gun away from him an released
him in the woods.
A dispatch to the Union OF Thursday
from Hopkinsville said
VIM. Verhines OF Indian Mound
who shot at his wife and sister-in-law 8
few days since, was in this city yester.
day morning and was seen by gentle
man who knew him. Monday two
Tennessee constables came here ant
searched the town for him, but he
could not be ferretted ont. 1t was re
ported that he left Monday night fol
Evansville, bat this information i:
probably incorrect, as the officers still
believe that he is still in this vicinity.

FARMERS ASSOCIATION.
Take Notice.

For the convenience OF persons who
wish to avoid the usual rush at the gate,
tickets will be placed on sale at Red
river bridge and at each of the stores
in St. Bethlehem.
All who attend the Stock Show are
requested to procure tickets, as the
gate-keepers will have positive instruc-
tons to admit no one, under any cir
cumstances, without them.
INDECENT persons, too poor to pur-
chase, will, on proper application, be
furnished tickets free, but others who
enjoy the reunion are expected to con-
tribute the small sum OF % cents for
adults, and 10 cents for children,
towards the payment of necessary ex-
penses. We do not believe that any
honorable person will seek to avoid
this.
DIR. W. A. Shelby, Of the Cave Hotel,
has kindly consented to act as ticket
agent, and viii furnish guests OF the
hotel and other residents within the
grounds, checks for each day on their
payment to him of the admission fee.
Others who obtain admission to the
grounds before gate-keepers are sta
toned, can also get checks from DIR,
Shelby before being called upon by the
police guards.
Since our object is not to make
money, but solely to pay expenses, and
since upon our ability to do this de-
ponds the success OF future enterprises
Of like kind, we trust that all will aid us
in making a success Of this our fourth
annual social reunion, inaugurated in
the interest and for the enjoyment of
all classes, trades or professions. By
order OF
+ THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES.

ANOTHER argument in favor OF the I.

OF the G. & 0. is that the. line will be
completed at once in first-class style,

To the Chronicle .

To the Chronicles:
Your CORRESPONDENT was one OF the
''lucky fellows" that was so fortunate as
to be one Of the many who joined the
Sunday school excursion from the Bend
on Saturday last, on the barge OF the
Julien Gracey. The steamer left the
Seven Mile Ferry about 7 o'clock a. M,
with orders to land at all landings on
the Southside OF the river, so every few
miles we stopped and took on men,
women and children and by the time
we reached Shelton's landing we had at
least one hundred and fifty souls aboard.
1t was first intended to go to Betsystown
and then get out and eat dinner, but be-
fore reaching that point number OF
the excursionists had expressed a desire
to go as far as Ashland City and it was
so ordered by the committee Of ar
rangements.
About IL o'clock dinner was spread
on an improvised table and all were in
vited to partake OF most bountiful re-
past. After all had "filled themselves, F"
it was announced that there was plenty
left for supper, several baskets not hav-
ing been opened. On, and ON we sped
with some delightful music by the string
band OF that neighborhood and just at
8 O'Clock, amidst delightful shower OF
rain, we reached the landing at Ashland
City. The captain was kind and oblig-
ing enough to have the whistle blown
several times below the city so that
all OF the pretty girls would have a
chance to get down to the river by the
time the boat landed, and sure enough
there was quite bevy Of them, and
one in particular who was quite favor
ite with a large number OF those on
board who gave her most cordial greet
ing. Just here we would like to say to
the gentleman that received that elegant
bouquet, that we learn that it was not
intended for him, but was made espec-
tally for US, and il he values his life he
had better hand it over promptly.
About $50 o'clock the shrill whistle
notified those who were up in the city
that they had better hurry back or they
would be left, some came leisurely and
others came at double quick time. At
4 o'clock the captain ordered all aboard,
and with the band playing "The girl
we left behind, " we babe Ashland City
goodbye, and proceeded ON our return
trip. We had some most excellent
vocal and instrumental music during
the trip, for the young ladies and gen.
tlemen of the Bend are noted far and
near as good singers.
We arrived at the Seven Mile Ferry
about 7:30 o'clock, where the larger
portion of the excursionists got off and
all wendell their way home after having
spent most delightful day.
The committee of arrangements de-
serve great credit for the manner in
which everything was conducted, such
as providing an abundance of ice-lem-
onade and ice-water, etc. Capt. Robin
son and Clerk Grasty were very polite
and accommodating and the excursion
lists all unite in returning thanks for
courtesies shown them on the trip
This writer would say in conclusion
that he spent very enjoyable day and
he hopes that whenever it is to be re-
peated he will be duly notified and he
will endeavor to be on hand. jim.

looking promising considering the

THE Hopkinsville correspondent Of
the Union says:
A terrible wind and rain storm passed
near Nortonville yesterday afternoon.
The south-bound passenger train due
here at p. M. was cought in the storm
two miles South of that place. Passen-
gers on board described the water spout
as unprecedented in this section. The
rain blew into the cars in torrents.
The floor was covered with two inches
of water. Passengers raised their UNI
brellas, and in spite of all they could
do were thoroughly drenched. Outside
the train the wind was playing sad
havoc. The growing crops of corn and
tobacco were torn into shreds, while
forest trees were uprooted and whirled
through the air with frightful velocity.
This is the second time in few years
that that vicinity has been visited by
tornadoes.
