The selling ofthe Louisville and Nashville

soon As the stock was quoted eX-dlyldend.
The orders to sell gave some traders the i'm
preston that they were for long stock. Be

for the current six months will show con-
siderable falling on, especially IN COMPARE
son with the same period last year, when
they were unusually large. An official Of
the company admits that the strike Of

that the earnings for this month will not be

lasted for about three weeks, and included
upwards of eight thousand miners.

Refused Her Because She Cried.

A wedding was once stopped in the fol-
lowing curious tanner: The people were
well to do farmers. The day was fixed,
breakfast prepared, carriages waiting at
the door. All things were ready. The
bridegroom drove up to the house and
ran in to see his bride before he started for
the chapel. He found her weeping, as brides
often do when they leave home. And who
would believe it if they read it in a ro-
nance?
The bridegroom coldly Informed the
young lady that IF that was the way she
was going to begin, it would be the end of
it," He left the bride in Il dead faint, left
the house and drove away. 1t was the end
of it in more ways than one. There was an
action for breach of promise. The young
lady died of IL broken heart.
He afterward married three wives in
rapid succession. Every few years he crossed
my path. and l nave reason to know that
his life was far from being happy.-Cor.

just an Average Woman.

once knew a genius who was the most
uncomfortable person I ever met. She
thought she could wear your clothes and
never return them, borrow your books and
give them away, dress like his satanic
majesty, and have it all excused because
she was a genius. Another acquaintance
of mine was one who was spoken of as be-
ing FAR above the average woman and
she was so deadly far above that she hadn't
sense enough to do what ever the dogs do
go in when it rains.
Sisters and brothers, specially brothers,
express my gratitude that the good Lord
made me just an average woman, and l
think the donkeys who object to her are
far below the average woman and show it
by the way they bray.-Bab's Letter.

AN UNNATURAL FATHER
A Series of Shocking Grimes Charged tt
a Ohio Farmer.

A Series of Shocking Grimes Charged to
an Ohio GARNER
CoLUMpD''3s, O., Oct. 1.-THE arrest of
G. A. Miller, a prominent and well-to-do
farmer of Harrisburg, this county, re-
veals a series of shocking and unnatural
crimes. The charge which Miller is
now brought to face is one of attempting
to outrage his ~13-yea-old daughter,
Emma. But that which lies behind, if
the stories of his divorced wife may be
given credence, are equally repulsive.
Nearly thirty years ago Miller married
Elizabeth Olney, a widow with two
children, a boy well up in years and a
girl yet in kits. The first few years of
this marriage were not marred by any
infelicity, but when the step-daughter,
Mary, grew to ID years she had a GER
tain attractiveness for her mothers hus-
band. Not the slightest suspicion of
anything wrong was entertained by the
wife, and she frequently went away.
One day there was an addition to the
household, Mary giving birth to a girl.
The child mother credited the paternity
of the infant to a young man in the
neighborhood, but through the
adverse consultations of Miller
no arrests were made. A year rolled
round and a second child made it's ap-
pearance, but by this time suspicion was
directed toward Miller. A confession
by the two, Miller and his step-daughter,
was followed by a separation and ulti-
mate divorce from his wife. The child
then took her mothers place and was
joined to Miller in matrimony, another
child being born to her shortly after
ward. A few days ago the young wife
died, it is said, of a broken heart, add
ing another phase to these queer dramas.
The father was addicted to going off on
periodical sprees, and it was during n
of these that he attempted the crime
with which he is now charged.

The Murderer of Moses Lufkin Exc

npSOtA.
Owing to the Breaking Of the Rope
He is Sent Through the Trap
Twice.
"A Prominent Ohio Farmer Charged
with a Series of Shocking and
Unnatural Crimes.

REDWOOD FALLS, Oct. ia dreadful
scene was enacted at the gallows en-
closure of the Redwood county Jail at
ten minutes preceding 5 o'clock a. m.
Rose was awakened at 4 o'clock, partooG
OF breakfast of fresh eggs and oysters,
heard the death warrant read and then
rs cody as a mar going to dinner
walked up the twenty-five steps to the
gallows, facing the little crowd with
the utmost composure. He spoke as
follows:
Says Eli Slower Did 1t.
eli Slower is the guilty man and ]
am innocent. I thank you and bid you
all good bye"
The adjusting of the strap and black
cap occupied a little over a minute.
Then Sheriff Mead stepped back to tho
lever. Good bye, ALL" said Rose
firmly from under the black cap. The
trap was sprung. There was a dull
crash and the rope parted square in two
three feet above the neck of the con-
demned man. He
! Fell in a Heap Unconscious.
Without a word being spoken by any
n the limp body was picked up, car
ried on the platform and laid down face
upward upon the readjusted trap. The
second moose, dangling from above was
pulled down, adjusted quickly and the
trap again sprung without any attempt
to raise him to his feet. Then ensued q
Slow Process of Strangulation.
The trap was sprung first at 4:56; the
second time at exactly 5 o'clock.
The sheriff stationed several men at
the Jail armed with muskets who pa
trolled the grounds to keep the crowd
away. The sheriff himself went homo
to get a few hours rest. He commenced
the final preparations at 4 o'clock.
The crowd Of people attracted by the
execution was very large. A good
many people came in from the country,
although they must have known that
they could not witness the execution.
The marshal says that there were a good
many people about town whom he did
not know, o did he know where they
came from.
