PINEvILLE, Ky, March 25.-The ar
rest of Gen. Sowdcr and others implicated
in the feud that within the past few
months has caused over a dozen deaths,
had a sequel this morning in a double
tragedy two miles from town on the
Cumberland Gap road. Avis Gunner
and JEFF King were going toward the gap
aud James Burch was coming tG town,
and the meeting was celebrated by Avis
Gunner firing at Burch. the ball only
striking Burch's gun. Burch returned
the fire promptly. killing Avis Gurner,
and then King fired on Burch, killing
him and beating a hasty retreat up Clear
creek. Gunner was the leader of the
anti-Sowder faction.
CHICAGO, March pa dispatch to
the Times from Pineville, Ky, says: The
feud between the Cowders and Turner fac
tons in Bell county, Kentucky, has
broken out again and the prospects are
there will be much blOodshcd. The fcud
has so many ramifcations that it is impos-
sible to tell where it originated or why it
continues to exist. A section of the par
ties has been in arms at Barbourville for
some time past. The fight began again
early last week over a quarrel between two
representatives of the opposing factions.
Friends tlocked to their assistance and for
several days the mountains in the vicinity
of Barboursville were alive with deter
mined men armed to the teeth.
The inevitable came and a pitched bat
tie was fought. 1t is said that more than
500 shots were fred and a number of
people wounded. The wounded were
spirited away and the number cannot be
found. A sheriff s posse was sent to ar
rest the rioters, but they we're fired upon
and driven back to Barboursvlllo. 1t was
then that Judge Gull himself headed a
posse and made for the mountains. A
pitched battle resulted, but the Judges
party being strong and well armed they
were victorious and succeeded in arresting
five of the desperadoes.
The sheriff $ posse is still IN the noun.
tains alter the other outlaws and before
the month ends it is likely a dozen lives
will be sacrificed in the efforts to enforce
the law. Not only the people of this
county are alarmed, but those of Knox
county as well. Nobody ventures out I'M
armed.
Tonight word was received by courier
that in the fight near Salt trail last night
Tour men were killed and a dozen wound
ed. Reinforcements have gone out and
1000 men are now in the mountains, and
it is safe to say men will be shot to death
and the world will never hear Of it. A
fort is being erected by one of the i%rctiOns
and m of killing are too numerous
to mention. The shcriffs of three conn
ties are arranging to make a combined
campaign against the outlaws, who swear
they will never be taken alive. Governor
Taylor will be asked for a regiment Of
militia.

New YORK, March 25.-All efforts to
trace the identity of the vessel whose
wreckage was passed by the steamer Col
orado Saturday have so far failed. Agents
OF the steamer Conserva or Madrid, which
sailed from here a week ago for SANTANA,
deny that the wreckage is hat of their
vessel. They say that it does not CORE
spond in any particular with that of their
vessels. Agents of the Clyde line steamer
Saginaw also denied that the wreckage
belonged to their vessel. A possible clue
to the shipwreck was furnished by two in
coming vessels this morning. The Atlas
line steamer Athos, from Port Limon,
which arrived early to day, reports having
passed Saturday noon a white painted
steamer bound south showing the German
colors.
The brig Lockart, which also got in
this morning from San Domingo, brings a
more definite report Of a ship in distress.
The Lockarts captain said that on March
10 in latitude 36.45, longitude 1906 he
spoke the British steamer Yeomandell in
a disabled state. The Yeomendell had a
heavy list to starboard, her decks were on
line with the water, her machinery was
disabled and her sails blown away. The
disabled vessel displayed series of sig
nails indicating distress and hoisted a re-
quest to have her condition telegraphed
to English Lloyds.
The Yeomendell left New Orleans for
Rouen, France, on March 3. On the
Maritime exchange to day it was thought
probable that the latter vessel had gone
down and that the raft aud driftwood
passed by the Colorado on Saturday were
all that was left to tell the story of her
destruction.
From the description of the wreckage
it is believed the lost vessel is the gun
boat Conserva, which had so much
trouble getting away from this. point be-
cause she was suspected of being intended
for the Haytian insurgents.

MRS. BEECHER STOWE.
Americas Famous Authoress a
Helpless lmbecile.
A Once Bright Mind Almost
Completely Gone.
She Is Now No Longer Ment'
ally Capable.

NEW YORK, March ga Hartford.
Conn, special says: 1t is now about six
months since Harriet Beecher Stowe was
brought. as a dying invalid from Ann har-
Dor to this city. Only the care of her
physician and the attentive nursing of her
children brought her through her illness.
but Mrs. Stowe finally recovered from her
ailments and is seemingly now in as good
health as she has ever been of late years.
The true mental condition of Mrs. Stowe,
although well known here in Hartford, is
seldom alluded to. 1t is, however, a fact
that Mrs. Stoves mind is shocked and
she is at best intellectually now but a mere
child. Her friends will not say she is in
sane, nor that she is an imbecile, but her
mind is almost completely gone. Her
memory is that of a baby.
When former dear friends visit her,
people whom she has known for years,
she greets them with a vacant stare, so in
dicatlve a symptom in cases of that kind.
OF purse Mrs. Stoves relatives view all
this with feelings of dismay, but they
have now become reconciled to the change
and her whims are now treated with the
utmost tenderness. For some time it was
given out that Mrs. Stowe did not recognize
her friends because of failing eyesight,
but this excuse is no longer alluded to,
and the fact that she is no longer mentally
capable is recognized by everyone.
1t was also for a long time thought to
be an attribute of genus when Mrs. Stowe
showed these idiosyncracies, but the genius
which made Uncle Toms Cabin has
departed. The father of Mrs. Stowe, the
Rev. Lyman Beecher, passed the closing
years of his life with a cloud resting over
his mind. His symptoms were greatly
similar to those which now affect Mrs.
Stowe.
