Voluntary Cremation Of YOnng Man
Ills Wonderful Courage.

WILKEsBARRIE, PENN, Nov. 17-Wm.
Ruddy, a young man aged 26 years,
committed suicide in The most sensa-
tional manner at his home in this city
this morning. It's alleged that Rud-
DIV came hume and found that his
mother had drank to excess, and this
SO troubled him that he resolved to
make away with himself. He engaged
in some hot words with his mother,
who replied mockingly. Driven to
desperation by his mothers words,
Ruddy poured coal oil over himself,
and by thrusting his hand into the
fire, became enveloped in flames. He
then seized a sharp knife and stabbed
himself over the heart, inf1icting a
wound that would in itself resulted fa-
tally. He was terribly burned, his
flesh hanging in shreds, and in short
time death ended his excruciating
suffering.
The flames from his clothing soon
set fire to the interior of the dwelling
and the fire department was called
out, the structure being saved after
some rapid work.

and who was always regarded as a
clever, harmless boy, has made dark

Hawkins the latter part Of the week.
A key to the safe was found on Lanes
person, and he confessed his crime to
the sheriff. Whereupon he was lodged
in Jail to answer at the next term of
the circuit court. He can not easily
evade the penalty. He might have

Parties Suspected of the Crime Un-

But as Yet Who Fired the Fatal
Shot is Not Known.

MOUNT ARA, GA, Nov. 17-Albert
Church, postmaster OF this town, was
shot and killed Sunday night about
s 80 o'clock. 1t seems from what can
be gathered that he was at or near a
house of i'll fame when he received the
shot which caused his death. The
occurred about 100 yards
from the depot.
As soon as Mr.. Church found out
that he was shot he started back to-
ward the postoffice, but seeinga light
in the depot he turned and went up
the steps at the end of the platform
and went to the door and tried to un-
bolt the door. He then went around
the corner of the Office to the window,
and knocked on the window II few
times and called out "Mac, Mr.. Mac,
Mr.. Mac, l am killed" He then
turned off, but only got about 125 feet
away when he fell over an embank-
ment ten feet high, near Capp & KEN
sey's store. Working himself offtwen
ty-five or thirty feet further he fell in q
ditch, where he died and remained un-

Family Prayer.

A gentleman who has been travel
ing over the country for several years,
raises to remark about many things
which he observed. To notice closely
the doings and customs OF people is
education of an important type, and
he who is fortunate as to be thrust out
upon the great earth in a travelling
occupation il the man who knows
good thing when he sees it. And
again, if there is bad thing or two
he observes them. This gentleman
has spent the last eight months in
East Tennessee, during which time he
spent night each with more than
four hundred families. Now, in this
number how many do you suppose he
would find who hold family prayers?
Well, if you have attended class meet
lngs and love feasts, you would say
about $50, but that is not the case
The family alter is not quite so prom
inent away from the love feasts. In
that period of eight months he heard
only one prayer offered up. How
does that speak for the christian
spirit OF East Tennessee? 1t seems a
small item, but is Tar above the aver
age. In the several years Of this gen
tlemans travels, he heard but one
prayer of the kind before he reached
East Tennessee, eight months ago.
Say that the time spent outside OF
East Tennessee amounted to seven
years, then the proportion would be
gratifyingly in favor of our people, for
we would have ten prayers to their
one, and yet have nothing to brag on,
The truth of it is, this is time for
money, and if men believed there was
any ready money in prayer, the hills
would echo with praise and the
branches would become astounded
and start back against Mr.. Giavita
tation until he would be all over
damp.

A FIEHDISH MOTHER.
An English Woman Ill
Treats Her Children,
And When Summoned to Answer for
Her Conduct,
Deiles the Law, Murders Her Child
rem and Suicides.

LONDON, Nov. l6'-A most shocking
and brutal crime has been committed
at Titchfeld.With Crcfton, a town of
about $500 inhabitants in the county
of Hants, noted as being the site of
Titchfield House, where Charles [ was
concealed af er his escape from Hamp-
ton Court in 1647.
1t appears that complaint was
made some time since against GER
tain woman resident OF the town that
she was i'll treating her children, and
"a summons was issued ordering her
ITO appear at Titchfeld assizes to
answer the charge made against her.
The woman was infuriated when the
summons was served upon her, and de-
clared no court in England could COM
pei her to answer its summons No
attention was paid to her rawlings, as it
was believed when her Indignation sub
sided she would recognize the futility
OF attempting to resist the mandate OF
the court. But the woman was deter
mined not to heed the summons by
answering it, and so she re-entersd her
apartments, called her three children
about her and then, in spite of their
struggles to escape, cut their throats.
After making sure that the terrible
work was complete and that the three
girls we're dead, the woman turned the
weapon against herself.
A horrible sight met the gaze OF the
1persons who entered the room after
the deed had been committed. The
bodies OF the girls, their clothes satu-
rated with the blood that had flowed
drom the gaping wounds of their necks
were lying on the floor in pools ofblood
while close beside was their mother
and murderess. The woman was alive
but the wound in her throat was such
a terrible one and she had lost so much
blood that little if any hopes are EN-
tertained OF her recovery.

ther served with distinction as an Off
