Ben Thompson's monthly tobacco
circular reports the Hopkinsville
market for June:
The month of June opened with
an active demand for all desirable
tobaccos, and under light receipts
and an increased inquiry the market
has been strong and the month
closed with slightly advanced prices.
The stock of unsold tobacco on the
market amounts to 1878 hhds. di-
vided as follows: Cos hhds., crop of
1889, 1,O2S old and 1876 frosted, of the
crop of 1876. The planting in the
Hopkinsyille district, think, cor
rectly estimated at IS per cent of an
average crop. 1t is too early to
form an estimate of the probable
yield. The shipments for the month
have been much larger than the re-
ceipts and stocks are reduced about

bacco worms fearfully bad in that
vicinity. Hecaught seventeen worms
off of one plant, and says eight TO
ten are common, many Of them fully
grown, and it looks as if the worms
will eat the crop up before it is fairly

The above telegram to this paper
is confirmatory evidence Of one of
the blacklist crimes that has been re-
corded in this county in many years
the deliberate murder of q wife by
a husband, the man of all men who
should have been her protector and
shield.
The readers of the LEAF-CHRONI-
Gle are familiar with the charge of
wife murder that was brought
against George Avant, a respected
citizen of this county, two weeks
ago, and his subsequent arrest on the
charge, and it is not necessary to
more than refer to them here.
On June 18th Mrs. George Avant,
who lived IN Third district of this
county, died suddenly, under pecu-
liar circumstances. Her husband
objected to the presence of a physi-
clan, saying that she had died of
heart disease, and but for the insis-
tenCe of relative of the dead WO-
man she would doubtless have been
buried without medical examination
as the responsibility Of the parties
and the former congeniality existing
between them as husband and wife
almost precluded the idea of foul
play; nevertheless a physician was
summoned and pronounced the death
from heart disease.
After Mrs. Avant's burial the sin
gular circumstances of her death as
reported by her cook, as given in
these columns at the time, and the
fact that her husband was known to
have purchased strychnine on the
day of her death, led to further in
vestigation, and to Avant's arrest.
The body of his wife was exhumed
and the stomach sent to Nashville
for analysis, and the result is given
in the special printed above.
The LEAF CHRONICLE understands
that when Mrs. Avant's body was
exhumed her heart was found in a
diseased condition, and for the sake
of her husband, as well as for the
good name of the county, it hoped
that this analysis would prove Mr..
Avant innocent of the grave crime
that had been brought against him :;
unfortunately, however, it is dam
aging evidence of his guilt.

Stove Foundry and Tobacco Factory
Next.

The next steps for our enterpris-
ing citizens to take are the estab-
lishment of a stove foundry and to-
bacco factory. These are important
enterprises which are sure of good
results and can be cheaply started.
We are growing large enough and
strong enough now to divide in two
classes and do two things instead of
one. The tobacco trade should or
ganize and direct its attention to Sc
curing the location of good tobacco
manufacturing establishment on a
solid basis. A great deal of fine
manufacturing tobacco is finding its
way to this market and manufacture
es will be sure to increase the supply
of fine grades and will also help the
warehouses and dealers, and when
the business is once started other
factories will naturally follow, be-
cause where the raw material can be
found, that is the best place for man.

The iron furnace will open the
way for a stove foundry, and all
other citizens should organize and
direct their attention to this matter.
The superior quality of iron to be
had here will be one very strong in
another inducement will
be the saving in cost of freight and
which will make the
iron two dollars per ton cheaper, and
that itself will be large profit in the
business.

"A Serious Case.
STRYCHNINE.


Special to the Leaf Chronicle.
NASHVILLE, TENN, July 3.-Your
telegram asking for full result of the
analysis of Mrs. Avant's stomach has
just been received. / would say that
my notes made during the progress
of the work are somewhat lengthy
and not yet put into as Ineligible
a form as 1 would prefer them for
publication.
l will say, however, that l COM
menced the analysis in about one
and a half hours after receiving the
stomach through the hands of Cor
oner John Station and M. Savage,
Esq, who brought it to me about 8
o'clock Friday morning, June 20,
1890. On Saturday | had the work
far enough advanced to make test,
which gave a cOloration that might
be termed suspicious looking, but
there was too much interference with
the reactions by the large amount Of
cOloring matter present to be at all
characteristic. On Sunday ] did not
make a test; during Monday and
Tuesday / endeavored to destroy
most of the coloring matter and
overcome interferences. / also made
number of tests, which grew TO be
more like
| STRYCHNINE CELEBRATIONS
as 1 proceeded. On Wednesday ]
made several tests which gave the
characteristic reactions of strychnine;
they were plainly visible. On Thurs
day / repeated the tests and found
them confrmatory. During Friday
and Saturday l endeavored to obtain
crystals, but did not succeed. On
Monday / obtained from another
portion of substance, which had been
allowed to evaporate spontaneously
during Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
small amount of matter which was
tested and plainly gave the decided
reactions of strychnine.
1t is but just TO say that some
chemists and investigators in com
paratively new field claim that there
are ptomaines which give similar
reactions or color tests; also a very
few rare alkaloids of vegetable origin
do the same. j. G. WHARTON.
