GALLATiS. Tenn, Oct. 1s.-Gallatin Is
in the throcs OF excitement over tho
tragically sensational denouemcn. OF II
scandal OF last year, publication OF
which was suppressed ut that time on
account OF the social prominence and
connections Of the parties involved. In
April OF 1890, Miss Minnie Overton, OF
this vicinity, gave birth TO u child at
Bowling Green, Ky, the accouchmcnt
taking place i'll II negro hovol in the
edge OF town. Six weeks before the
event, remarkable to say, she was walk
ine the streets OF Gallatin seemingly in
cheerful spirits and no one suspected
her condition. When the fact was
known 1t came like a thunder clap and
many refused TO give crcdenco to tho
story. Tho child lived but u few weeks.
Miss Orcrton claimed that she had
been scduCcd by Samuel X. Elliott, n
popular young man Of the county, whose
laticr was Attorney General Elliott, tho
eloquent lawyer and preacher. She
said that no had accomplished her ruin
Six years ago, and had several times
saved her from disgrace by the means
OF medicines. Finding that she was
about TO become 4 mother, she left
home. ostensiblv on u visit TO friends
in Columbia, Tenn, but went to Bowl
ing Green. where tho child was born,
and where Elliott followed her. Elliott
while admitting his relations with her
denied that he had scduced her, and
claimed that other men had been init

not leave the country when threatened
with death by her father and two broth.
crs, and for months every one feared 4
personal encounter, but nothing came
OF it, and the matter quoted down.
In the meantime Miss Overton left
here, and Is now thought to be living in
Texas.
This afternoon, Mt 20 o'clock, after
eighteen months hnd elapsed, the scan.
dial was revived in almost sensational
and dramatic manner. Elliott was in
the store OF W. Witherspoon, when Mrs.
Archie W. Overton, mother OF the girl,
entered, and walking up to Elliott,
without a word dashed the contents OF
n large bottle OF vitriol or sulphurlc acid
into his face. 1t struck him square be-
tween the eyes and spread all over his
face. In ten minutes his left eye was
entirely destroyed, and it is thought his
other eye will be lost. His face was
horribly burned. lie did not iall and
only spoke to ask Tor some oil. Doctors
were summoned and he was removed to
the residence OF his sister, where he
o lies in great agony.
Mrs. Overton at once LETT the store.
The Oycrtons are well known through
out the State. Miss Minnie Overton is
a~dccidedly handsome and well educated
brunette about twenty-five years OF age.
She was very popular in society, and
her downfall was 4 source OF sorrow to
many warm friends.
Sheriff Terry has just left for the hand
some Ovcrton place with a warrant for
Mrs. Overton's arrest, sworn out by Ben
Elliott, q brother Of the injured man.

C%otuMnus. O., Oct. lS.-Mrs. Thurman,
the wife OF Judge Allen e. Thurman,
died at ! o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Her condition changed for the worse
last night. During most OF tho past
week she had been in M unconscious
state, rallying occasionally.
For some time past there has been
but little hopes entertained OF her &c.
covery. She was the victim Of the grip
during the winter, and never recovered
from the attack. Advanced agc pre-.
vented her from ever regain!ug her
accustomed strength.
Tho only persons pio'ont ut tho death
scene were her husband, her son, Allen
W. Thurman, Mrs. Governor McCor1
mick, OF New York, II daughter, and
Miss Nina Thurman, Allen W. Thur
mans Oldest daughter. Mrs. Thurman
had been unconscious for iorty.cight
hours. The seem was an affecting one,
but Judge Thurman bore up much bot
ter under the ordeal than it was thought
he would. Tic was grateful that his
aged partner should be permitted die In
so peaceful and painless q manner.
'AAo. iiiuiiiiti Nio sUily IONCt.
A great point in hcr character was her
remarkable bcncvolence. She was con.
tinually caring for the sick and needy,
and was always found ready to con-
tribute to worthy cause. She meyer
identified herself with any church, But
was q church-going woman and always
engaged in charity.
Mrs. Thurman was born in Chilli
cothc in 1911, and her maiden name was
Mary Dun. Her father, Walter Dun,
was Il wealthy land owner and mer-
chant at that place. While Mary was
yet q young lady her father moved TO
Lexington, Ky. Here she married Mr..
Thompkins, but he died after Il few
years. She was married to Judge Thur
nan in November, 1914.
Judge Thurman is much cniocbled
and broken down, and it is the opinion
OF those who know him best that he
will not long survive the death OF his
wife.

ingly. DR.. Gushing then gave Il warm
informal talk, which went straight to
the hearts OF all. lie was very happy
in his remarks, and impressed his hear
ers very deeply. Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
Secley sang, Mrs. Scclcy rendering two
solos OF her selection, which were
very much appreciated. Mrs. Gertrude
McClelland presided efficiently as usual
at the organ, and Mr.. Sawyer supple
mented the other talks with some words
OF encouragement. All in all, it was

ing will be on Tuesday evening, when
MIR. Sawyer will conduct the services,
