THE CRAFT.

Three Kentucky editors were mar
ried last week.
The Glad Tidings, published at
Elizabethtown, will no longer be
shouted. Cruel creditors crushed 1t
and constable called and claimed 1t
for his own.
The Providence Sentinel, recently
suspended, has re-sppeared as the
Weekly Bugle, which starts out as a
CURRICULUM paper, small but newsy
and readable.
The Crittenden Press says: "At-
torney L. A. James has been EN-.
ployed in connection with II. y. Nor.
ton, Of Csseyville, and Mr.. s. C
Hughes, Of Morganfleld, to defend
editor Il. Y. Thomas, who killed FL
more at Csseyville some time since.
Last week the grand jury indicted
Thomas for m,nslaughter, and the
court fixed his bond at 81, 500, which
he readily executed. The case will
come up for trial at Morganfield next
February. 1t is stated that the regu-
lar panel of grand jurors refused to
indict Thomas; afterwards one ofthe
Jurors was taken sick and was dis
charged and new man was put on
duty, and then majority for indict-
ing was secured. F"

The Soap Bubble Company will be
the attraction at the Opera House to-
morrow evening. or course the
piece is as light as the thing from
which it derives its name, but it
nevertheless compares favorably
with any ofthe now numerous pro.
ductions of its kind. 1t is full of
irresistible fun and replete with good
songs, choruses and quartets. Mr..
Connolly wins much applause by his
comicalities and his singing, and is
ably supported by the rest of his COM
pany. The singing of Virginia Ross
is especially commendable, and Miss
Dolly Foster holds the favor of the
audience by her peculiar sprightli-
ness and cuteness. Prices as usual.

The ST. Louis Gl0be-Democrat
takes cheerful view of the increase
of the public debt during August.
Taking money out of the treasury TO
pay fraudulent pension claims isput-
ting it in "circul ,tion," 1t is true,
blu: the country is getting tired OF
seeing the surplus disposed of in thai
way. The GloJe-Democrat says {:
ain August, for The fret of recent
mouthr, there was an increase in the
volume ofthe currency in circulation,
the expansion being 100000. This
Is not equal TO the contraction in
some of the preceding months, but
that tters has been an increafe at all,
and that it has occurred at a season
when decrease had been looked for,
will be dt cidedly satisfactory to the
country"

vice, in cooperation with the United

using every exertion within Its lin

the farmers aud merchants of the

papers of adjoining States), 1t is now
proposed, by aid of the Uni

timely "frost warnings" to every to-
bacco growing county IN the State,
and, it is hoped, that by aid Of public
spirited citizens these warnings will
be sent by telephone, by special mis-
sengers or bv signals to every neigh
borhood.
BY THE admirable system of the
Signal Service, 1t ia now possible to
predictin advance. You will at once
recognize the value of such a warn
ing to all interested in the growing
tobacco crop.
1t is deemed important that the
planters ofyour vicinity shall receive
these warnings.
II you can not attend TO this matter
personally, will you kindly furnish
us the name of a reliable man who
will undertake to receive these

Under Arrest.

RICHMOND, Jan. 10.-Yesterday there were
registered at the Richmond House ]. A.

ing the woman was in the care of physicians
ON account of an overdose of aconite, and

he has a wife and children. He Is a patiye

The woman says that Lamb was an officer
at Deer Island, Boston, and there became ac-
quainted with her. She gives her name as
Annie Bradley. She was a prisoner there,
she says, having been committed four times
for drunkenness. Thompson became in
fatuated with her, gave up his position, left
his family and lived with her.
A few months ago he decided to leave her
and go back to his wife, but in a short time
the Bradley woman followed him and again
broke up the family. Yesterday the couple
put up at the Richmond House, and on the
same day Thompson purchased drachm of
aconite at Mansur's drug store, representing
that his wife had severe cold and that she
was accustomed to use it as medicine. At
60'clock Thursday morning he mixed up the
whole quantity and gave 1t TO her, saying:
This Is good for your BREATH"

and thompson was arrested by the officers
after hearing what the woman had to say.
thompson Is thirty years Of age, Of medium
height, brown moustache, solid build, with d
frank, good looking countenance. He has
lately worked for w. X. Kennedy of Chelsea.
At last accounts the woman was comfortable

Thompson expressed desire to have his
nearing and trial as soon as possible so he
can get to jail. He expressed sorrow for the
disgrace that the affair will bring to his wife
and three children at Gardiner. though he
says no has not lived happily with them in
the past.
