COLD-BL00DED MURDER.
Mr.. n. o, WILSON SHOT DOWN
WITHOUT A MOMENTS
WARNING.
The Murderer Now known-Excite
ment Up to the Highest Pitcn.

An occurrence took place last
Wednesday night, that brought
grief and tears to many hearts,
drove s'eep from dozens of persons
and aroused the sympathy of our
citizens in behalf of the un fortU-
nate. NJ
A cool and deliberate murder
was committed about 8 O'clock, Of
that evening, within one block od
the M. E. Church, South, where =
protracted meeting was being held.
1t took place at the home of II. O.
Wilson. Mr.. Wilson a few minutes
before nine o'clock, had been talk
ing to some friends at the Jackson
House and remarked that he would
20 over to his room and read some
and then 60 to bed. He had been
away probably net over fifteen min
utes when four pistol shots were
heard in the direction of his house.
Two gentlemen rushed over to the
house, and saw man coming out
of the house, and in response to an
inquiry as to what was the trouble.
he repli, d, ooh nothing"
Mr.. Wilson was found lying across
the bed, insensible, having received
three shots-any of which would
have proved fatal. Every effort
was made to revive him enough -
that he might speak, but unsucoess-
fully. He died in one half h0ur
from the time of shooting.
Mrs. Wilson and neice, Jessie
Ford, who were visiting at the
time in Kentucky, were telegraph
ed and they arrived here, FrNAwi
evening. Saturday morning, TIE
funeral services were conducted -
the NJ. E. Church, South, by Revs
Akers and Emory. The body was
then removed by the Orders Of Ma

Of Knoxville, attended the funeral
NO ARREST MADE.
Up to this time no arrest h&l

edge as to who the guilty one -

killing, followed Mr.. Wilson int
o. the house q few minutes after hi1
entering it. Some think that thes<
was q slight struggle during II

EXTRACT FROM THE SERMON
OF DIR. BOARDMAN.
Musicale. Lecture before the Adel-
phIo Union by Rev. Geo. N.
Boardman.

Sunday morning dawned cloudy
and gloomy; but at half-past ten
the Presbyterian Church was we'll
filled Notwithstanding the drilling
rain that had set in.
The services opened with quar-
tette selection. Prayer followed, af-
ter which DR.. Boardmon, President
of Maryville College, took his text
from
II Timothy iii, II: "That the man
of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works"
Attention Is especially invited To
the words thoroughly furnished"
The occasion makes it proper
that we should consider to-day the
value of a thorough education. The
text presents the effects of Bible
study, but the world.book as well
as the word-book; science as well
as revelation literature and art
as truly as inspiration, contribute
to render a man complete, "thOr-
oughly furnished unto all good
works."
For seventy wears Maryville Col
lege has sent forth cultured minds
into East Tennessee, to many states
of the Union and to distant parts
of the earth.

tion," says Milton, us that which

MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS:
1t is six or seven years since
some of you first came to Maryville
College for preparatory, and after
ward for collegiate study. Some
of the most important years of
your earthly lives have been spent
in this Institution. You are and
will ever remain objects of especial
interest to me, AS the first class to
come under my own personal in
structiOn here. Very pleasant to
me have been the hours which we
have spent together in the familiar
Senior recitation room. 1t has
been to me q constant qualification
to see in you the evidences of that
cultured power Of disciplined minds
which seven years of liberal study
have conferred upon you. In read
mess of apprehension, in grasp Of
thought, in power of analysis, in
strength of memory, it is no fiat
terry to say that you have all made
such acquisitions as abundantly
reward all the time and money ex-
pended in securing them, and as
illustrate we'll the principles set
forth in this discourse. You 60
forth other persons and different
from what you would have been
but for this education. You have
been during the past year, diligent,
studiOus, constant and uniformly
very kind and courteous toward
myself.
And over what a noble course OF
study we have travelled together, as
it were hand in hand. The study
of the mind, made in the image ol
} God, the source of thought, the cor
relate of truth. The noblest study

ary, the more serious studies were
pursued. The standard of duty,
and of course, of scholarship, has
been high.
The very fact that you are grad
uates Of a college will give you
standing before the world. College
graduates everywhere form fra.
ternity whose friendship is of value.
The fact that you are Alumni of
Maryville College, will at once as
sociate you with that long list of
genuine men, noble and true who
have for seventy years gone from
the same classic halls.
Continue to study and learn as
you live. Scion, as quoted by Plato
said, AS I grow older l am learning
more and more. Seneca said, We
should 60 on learning as long as we
are In anything, ignorant. Impart
also freely your knowledge to 9th
ers. Freely ye have received, free
ly give. l envy says Browne, no
man who knows more than / do,
but pity any man who knows less.
Promote education everywhere es-
pecially, assist as you are able,
your Alma Mater. The blessing
will return upon yourselves. In
unity, and mutual helpfulness all
are strong. Live high moral and
religious life. Mists, fogs and ma
laria settle over the valleys and low
places. But ascend the surround
ing hills, and you mainly escape
their binding and poisoning in
fluence.
You will all be very kindly re.
membered at Maryville College, as
long as any Instructor now here re.

THE MUSICALE.

THE MUSICALE.
The Musical Concert, directed by
Messrs. Alexander and Mckinley
at the Presbyterian Church, last
night, was well patronized as it
should have been. The receipts
showed that the treasury was en-
riched $4,000, which amount liqui-
dated the remaining indebtedness
of the College Band for new instru.
ments. The audience was compos-
ed not entirely of the young, but
had quite an element of the middle
aged and older. Every one was de-
lighted judging from the applause.
The College Choir did splendidly,
and with the continuation of the
musical department in the College,
this feature will become attractive
to the students who attend there.
The band with its new instruments
furnished music that is certainly
entitled to consideration. We
hardly know when the members
learned to play, since they have
had their instruments only such a
shur. time. Prof. Rinehart render
ed ,me good selections on the viO-
lin and sang a good bass solo.
Mr.. Frank Clark, of Knoxville, ac.
co'npanied the vocal selections of
Mr.. Williams, also Of that place,
with great skill. And We would
not forget the duet "H0me to our
mountain" given by Mr.. John and
Miss Stella Eakin, which was Is.
pecialiy good. The entertainment
was success in every way.

CASHIER hURp RETURNS.
He Says Sickness and Business
RIunders Caused His Flight.

BOSTON, Mass, February 17.-Since JAN
uary "A, M. l.. P. Hurd cashier in the
steerage department of the Cunard Steam
ship Co., 90 State street, has been missing.
Now it appears that he has returned to his
home in Stoneham. He was seen on a
Stoneham bound horse car Sunday. At the
steamship Office this morning, Alexander
Martin, the agent, said that Mrs. Hurd had
been at the Office this morning and had told
him of her husbands return, but that she
did not say where he had been. She said ne
had returned last night, very sick man,
but gave no account of his absence. Mr..
Martin seemed dsinclined to speak of the
condition of Hurd's accounts, but stated that
the examination of the accounts had not
been concluded, and he would not make a
positive statement in regard to them.
In an interview this afternoon, cashier
Hurd said he could truthfully say, that he
never appropriaifd d one dollar of the Cunard
company's money to his own use. When he
left his books showed Irregularities in
figures upwards of $15C0. This was due to
his having SO much work to do that he
could not keep the accounts pasted regularly,
partly on account Of the rush of business
and partly owing to his poor physical con-
dition. Rheumatism had impaired his mind
and ambition and he allowed matters to drift
almlessly along for nearly two years think
ing that in time he could straighten them
out. This he was unable to do, and when at
last he was obliged to strike a balance, a
discrepancy of $500 stared him in the face.
This preyed upon his mind so that he could
not sleep nights and he was wrought up to a
high pitch OF excitment and anxiety: Know
ing that the auditor who had just been sent
from England to examine the compaDy's
accounts would discover the discrepancy
and that confession at that time would
give the impression that fear of exposure
led him to make it, together with fears of
discharge and of being ,ccused of crime, he
was seized with sudden impulse to leave
the city. He went to Montreal where, after
a severe illness, he determined to return
home and abide by the consequences of his
acts. Mr.. Hurd asserts that his greatest
mistake was in not confdlng his indis
cretiun to the officers of the company.

MAINE IcEMEN HAPPY.
Tho Cold Wave on the Kennebec
Gives Them Another Boom.

RICHMOND, February 1.-THE NOR west"
breeze that swept down the Kennebec valley
Saturday night was welcome guest. The
longed-for cold wave had arrived, and the
icemen were happy again. The warm
weather last week cut away the Ice two
inches, and Saturday afternoon many of the
companies stopped running on account of
the ice being too soft on top to handle. The
present cold snap will enable them to con-
tinue the harvest
Kennebec ice has the reputation Of being
the best, and there is already a big demand
for it, and the prices paid for it will advance
as the season for harvesting nears its close
Ice buyers, dealers and spectators are here,
and more arrive on every train. Some are
trying to buy, while others are looking at
available sites with the intention of building
houses and filling them. IL the season was
not so far advanced more new companies
would erect buildings. There is time enough
for cold weather yet, however. In 1870 they
cut ice 20 inches thick in March, but that
year was an exception. Last year the ccm-
uanies in this vicinity did not commence TO
run ice until the secend week in February.

FISHING WITH SET LINES.
Game Warden French Making the
Sport an Expensive One.

CALAIS, February 17.-Game Warden
French started on cruise up the lakes last
week, looking after poachers, etc. While
gone he took from VIM. Smith of Wesley a
dog that he kept for the purpose of hunting
deer. At Grand Lake he came upon VIM.
Gallon and Stephen Britton of St. John, N.
B., fishing with nets. Mr.. French arrested
and took them to Princeton, where they we're
arraigned before Trial Justice Dresser, who
found them guilty and fined them S25 and
costs of trial, in default of which they were
lodged in Machias iail
Mr.. French then came to Calais, where he
found letter in waiting for him stating that
a number of parties were fishing in Round
Pond and Moosehead Lake in Charlotte with
set lines. He Immediately started for the
above named places and upon bis arrival
arrested George Folls and James Mclean Of
Eastport and Frank Wilder of Pembroke.
They we're each fined $40 and costs. 1t was
stated to the warden that the day before he
made this arrest there were thirteen differ
ent parties in that vicinity all fishing with
set lines. Mr.. French knows most of these
parties and without doubt they will pay the
penalty of violating the fish laws OF the
state.

FIVE Fatally HURT.
Service Interrupted by an Accident
In an English Church.

LONDON, Feb. 17.-An accident OF an
alarming character by which several persons
were seriously injured, occurred last night
during divine service at the Bromley Inde-
pendent church. Across the en8of the
building, over the entrance was fixed bal
cOny capable Of holding 60 or 70 persons.
While the pastor was reading the lessons,
the gallery, with scarcely any warning. sud-
denly collapsed, preclpitating its occupants
into the body Of the church. A cloud of dust
Obscured the view Of the remainder OF the
congregation for a few minutes, but when it
cleared away, 1t became obvious that num-
DeGOf persons were buried beneath the ruins
of the gallery. The fallen debris caused an
obstruction at the entrance and pxeyented

fallen gallery from their perllous position.
The gallery was pretty well filed at the time

buried. The work Of removing the debris
occupied some time. When this was accom-
plished it was found that though most Of the
Victims of the accident wero only severely
bruised and cut, five had received fatal In
