caid claimed that he armed himself in fear
OF danger from a further encounter with
Taulbee; that Taulbee had warned him to
arm himself, and that Taulbee insulted and
attacked him on their second encounter
rendering his resort to the pistol necessity.
AS soon as the news of Taulbee's death
reached police headquarters an officer was
sent to kincaid's room. He was awakened.
and after he had dressed was taken to the
police station, where he now is The theory
of self defense will be set up by Kinca DIS
lawyers
Aaron Kohn, the noted criminal LAWYER
of Louisville, KY and Judge Hangs, the
well known jurist of Kentucky, have been
engaged by Kincaid's friends to defend him
in his trial
Soon after he was shot Mr.. Taulbee re-
quested that no prosecution against Kincaid
should be taken, but the law will be fol-
lowed. Taulbee was born in Morgan county,
KY, Oct. 2l, 1851; was educated in private
country schools; studied for the ministry
from 1915 to 1873 and for the law from 1873
to 1881; was admitted to the bar in 1881 was
elected clerk of the Magoifin county count

Lincoln returned TO Chicago When Mr.
Lincoln was appointed minister to England
early in President Harrison's administration
he took his family with him to London
Toward the end of last October a large
carbuncle appeared on young Lncoln's left
side. His condition soon became so critical
that his father was summoned post haste
from London, The French surgeons used
the knife boldly, and after the carbuucle
had boen thoroughly opened poulticed the
wound. The effect Of this treatment was
not as successful as Minister Lincoln could
have desired. The young patient had
number of relapses aud a large iuAamml-
tory growth appeared around the seat OF the
carbuncle On Nov IS another operation
was performed by the French surgeons AMI
some tissues, supposed to be gangrenous
were removed The second operation left
young Lincoln in very enfeebled state
Mr.. Lincoln was all this time very mucrl
dissatisfied with the course of treatment car

ally, in December, had his son removed TO
the embassy in London. There he was at

the most unremitting care, slowly sank

ANOTHER MINE HORROR.
One Hundred and Sixty Lives Reported
Lost in Mnlpa.

ohS SiNty LIVES reported
Lost in Wales.
LONDON, March ia terrific explosion
occurred in the Morsa colliery, CLAN
morganshire, Wales, which, it is feared,
will be attended with much loss of life. One
hundred miners are entombed and comnl-
nication with them is impossible for the
present. 1t is feared that all of them have
perished.
Later advices from the Morsa collierv are
that 300 miners were entombed, but that
200 have been rescued from the workings
nearest the main shaft. Most of those
taken out are unhurt, but several have re-
ceived fatal injuries. Heavy falls of rock
prevent the explorers from reaching the more
remote workings The choke damp is
spreading, and it is feared that 100 lives
have been lost.
A further fall of debris into the wreched
Morsa colliery has completely blocked the
pit and rendered all attemps to rescue the
imprisoned miners futile until the mass can
be cleared away. The latest estimate places
the number of dead at over 1860
Eight bodies, horribly mutiated, have
been taken out of the Morsa pit. 1t is
rumored that the rescuers have heard ap
peals for help coming from the entombed
men, but the rescuers are unable to push
their search because of the gas and flame
which confront them

Mrs. BircheIl's Position.

There was very little difference ofopinion
among the jurors as to the question of guilt,
the only question being whether or not a
verdict should be given in the absence of the
prisoners. Under the law of Canada wife
cannot be punished for shielding her hus-
band, and therefore Mrs Birchell cannot be
made accessory after the fact, in the general
sense of the term

The Finding of the Bodv

The spot where Frederick Benwell was
murdered is an uncanny thicket set in the
midst of swamps in the little hamlet of
Princeton. 1t is desolate and fearful in its
isolation. Until the rough cart track was
cut through the tract in 1888 the forest had
