Rev. Melbourn Hiner, who was
transferred from the Kentucky
Conference of the NJ. +. Church
South to the West Virginia Confer
ence of the same church and as
signed to Louisa, arrived here last
week. accompanied by his family.
We feel certain that Mr.. Hiner will
not be long in becoming prime
favorite in Louisa. Not with his
church alone but with our people
generally. He is a gentleman of
good address and genial man
ners, and makes a most favorable
impression upon those with whom
he is thrown in contact.
Mr.. Hiner comes to Louisa from
an excellent charge which he re-
signed simply to save the invalid
wife of his predecessor the excite
ment and worry of Il removal. He
is a gentleman in the prime of man
hood, active and hopeful, and we
feel safe in predicting for the
church consigned to his care a
period of blessed prosperity.

Rev. Melburn ITiner, Louisa's
newly appointed South Methodist
minister, will begin his work next
Sunday with services at the regu-
lar hour.
We notice the following in the
Paris Kentuckian-Citizen, which
explains how Rev. Hiner came to
be assigned to this place. 1t was
unexpected to all parties con-
cerned: "Rev. Robert Hiner, faith
er of Melburn, passed from Mt.
Sterling, where he has been sta
toned for four years to Carrollton.
His first charge was at Louisa Al
years ago, where his son now is.
Melburr was given Newcastle, but
a Sawyer crowded him off there or
rather lie generously gave way to
Bro. Sawyer, whose wife was in
delicate health and wanted to re-
maiu.n

A Murderess Captured.

Marshal DeRossett and John A..
Waldeck on last Wednesday learn
ed that Agnes Underwood, who
murdered Milford Brown at Cat
lettsburg last week, was in this vi
entity and began search for her.
They rode nearly all day and in
the evening found the object of
their search at the house of John
Doyle, few miles out in the coun-
try. She was accompanied by
Frank Fugitt. They procured a
wagon aud brought her to town.
She had some severe knife wounds
which almost disabled her from
travelling. She is lin prison and
will be taken to Catlettsburg to-day.
When arrested the woman had a
false mustache and an outfit of
mems clothing and her hair was
closely,cropped. She said she was
just about ready to don the male
attire when arrested. She acknowl-
edges having done the killing and
says a general row was in progress
at the time. She says she is sorry
Brown died and that she will be
satisfied ''if they don't break my
neck She was living on a boat
and running a very disreputable
place. Brown was printer and
went to the boat in company with
some other young men.

ANOTHER VICTIM.
Whiskey Gets in its Work
Again, at the Expense
of a Life.

Tho murder docket OF Lawrence
county gets a new case but not a
now defendant. Samp Smith,
against whose name on the docket
has stood for several years a charge
of murder, and who has been at lib
erty on bail, is again incarc Grated
upon the awful charge of homicide.
John Chafin "A man against whom
he probably had no grievance is the
victim. ON last Saturday even
ing constable Noah Hughes
summoned Smith and four other
men tojoin him in a search for
Drew Compton, for whom he had a
warrant, They went to John Jobe's
house, on the head Of Cat, where a
dance was in progress, and found
Compton, and he was arrested.
Smith says that John Chaffin drew
a revolver and pointed it at him
GSmith) and that he instantly shot
Chaffin. The ball took effect in the
breast and caused almost instant
death. Chafiin's friends claim that
he had no weapon, not even a pock-
ct knife, and that Smith had no
cause for shooting him. However
it may really be it seems certain
that this crime, as most others, is
chargeable to whisky, as all the
parties involved are said to have
been drinking.
Smith surrendered to the officers
and is in Jail to await the examin-
ing trial which is set for to-day.
The murder already standing
against him is that of the Ham
monds few years ago, for which
he was once sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary, but afterward
secured a new trial and successive
continuances.

Mr.. Harmon Loar. who for n
great number of years has lived
five miles below this place on the
West Virginia side of the river,
died rather suddenly last Tuesday
evening. His illness was of abont
ii weeks duration. MalariaI fever
and rheumatism were the diseases
from which he was suffering. He
was known as one of tho best citi-
xens of tho community. His ago
was seventy-hve years, and consid-
ering the fact that he was n cripple
from his youth he apparently bore
his years lightly. The burial took
place yesterday In the family bur-
lal grounds. The deceased was AN

One Of the Elders Ramey check
ed "A flow OF i'll timed reminiscence
at the preachers love feast Sunday
morning, and thereby earned the
thanks Of all i'm the Court House,
save the speaker.
During the week ending last
Monday G7I9 chickens were eaten
in this town.
The Bishop Sunday morning
sermon was a model of calm, dis
passionate eloquent logic. 1t was
listened to by the largest congrega-
ton ever preached to in Louisa.
Rev. Mr.. Grider preached in the
South church Sunday morning to
the overflow from the Court House.
Rev. Mr.. Turner, Of Louisville,
divides honors with the Bishop rs
an orator. Both his sermons were
masterpieces OF fervid, soul-reach-
ing eloquence.
Some men have no idea of the
eternal fitness OF things. This was
shown very clearly during one OF
the sessions Of conference when a
certain cleric was speaking TO the
question of allowing a brother a SUI
pernumerary relation, He urged
among other reasons for granting
the request that the brother stood
out for the faith when 1t was not
"safe" to do so. The speaker
should know, and did know, that
there never was a time in the his
tory Of Kentucky when ii was un-
safe to preach the doctrines of his
church.
One Of tho delegates received a
telegram Informing him that he
had been made the father of a boy
baby, that it was named Cyrus
Foss, and that mother and child
were doing well. Whereupon the
Bishop arose and said he apprecia-
ted the honor, and that he was also
doing rs well as could be expected.
The reports OF the various secre-
taries showed a large decrease in
mbership and receipts during
the year. The Bishop alluded to
this. and earnestly exhorted the
members to find out the cause, il
possible, and use all proper means
TO make u better showing next
year.
The usual hospitality of our peo-
pie was cordially extended to the
Conference, and it was appreciated.
Ono way of placating brother
who does no, want to be taken
from a good place and sent to an
Indifferent one, is to "leave him
without work in order that he may
attend one of our schools
Amos Shinkle, alias "John
smith, of Newport, was present
bodily, spiritually and financially.
The expected Sunday morning
train from Ashland failed to come,
but the town was filled to overflow
ing by visitors from the country.
The Bishops remarks just pre-
ceding his reading of the appoint
ments were eminently fitting. If
anything could make the disap-
pointed ones satisfied with their
lot it was the kindly sympathetic
words addressed to them by their
presiding officer.

After the last train departed
Tuesday the few aged survivors of
the numerous Chicken family of
this vicinity met in solemn con-
clave in MiIt Burns barn. Mr..
ShaDg High Rooster took the perch,
and Mrs. Hennery Brahma was
made scratchetary. The venerable
president then stated the object of
the meeting 70 be the passing of
resolutions eggspressive of their
feelings concerning the late mas
sacre of the young and tender mem
bers of the family. They had been
ruthlessly slaughtered, and their
mutilated carcasses had been roast
ed, fried, boiled and stewed and
fed to menin black attire, and there
was no Cochin China large enough
to contain their denuded bones.
lie had therefore drawn up the fol-
lowing which he hoped would be
adopted
Resolved, That we shall ever
Foster feelings of regret and sor-
row for our departed kindred, and
that we can never hope to be Jolly
a gain
Resolved, That as we view our
few remaining Cox and hens we
sadly think of the untold number
slain and ask ourselves, Howes that
for high?
Resolved, That we post copy OF
these resolutions on every Hill and
Stump in the State, and that the
Cannon be fired in token of our joy
at the adjournment of those for
whom our friends were slain.
The resolutions were adopted
without a dissenting cluck, and the
assemblage slowly stalked away,
congratulating themselves on the
fact that the next conference of the
other church would be held in Ash
land and not in Louisa.

KENTUCKY CONFERENCE
or the M. E. Church, in SEES
sion at Louisa.


Friday forenoon was taken NJ
with conference business. The
subject OF Fraedman's Aid aud
Southern Education was on the
program for the afternoon, but
owing TO misunderstanding was
finally appointed for Saturday ar
tcrnoon. The congregation up to
this time had been so large and so
constantly growing that it was
Thought best to hold the evenings
exercises in the court house. The
Preachers Relief Anniversary was
the subject in hand, and interest
ing addresses were made by Bishop
Foss, Dr. Hamilton and Amos
Shinkle. The latter took away the
congregations breath by ANNOUNCE
ing that in the collection to be TAX
en- ON that occasion he expected TO
see 81 POO raised. Much relief was
afforded, however, by his statement
that the liberal and faithful "John
Smith" who always accompanies
Mr.. shinkle, would give three dol
lars for every one dollar given by
any one else. After all were al
lowed several opportunities to con
tribute the result Eas announced
as - 300, all OF which goes to the
Preachers Relief fund.
Saturday afternoon DR.. Hamilton
delivered an able address on the
subject Of FreedmMs Aid.
Though many OF his bearers were
not III sympathy with his subject,
his eloquence captured them all.
The court house was again used
for the evening service and was
crowded to its utmost capacity.
