Supposed Foul Murder.

j. w. Parker, of Stewart county,
was at Erin yesterday and gave par
ticulars of supposed foul murder,
that has created a big sensation in
the vicinity of Cumberland Iron
Works and Old Dover Furnace.
Two peddlers were travelling through
that section, one on the north side
and the other on the south side Of
Cumberland river. The one on the
south side failed to meet his partner
according to appointment and has
not been heard of since. A few days
ago parties hunting ginseng near the
old Dover Furnace found the earth
freshly torn up and concluded to eX-
anime the place, and throwing out
the dirt they soon came to wooden
box and fearing to proceed further
lest they should disturb the remains
of some one properly inferred, they
left the place and notified the neig-
borhOod. Next morning number
of men met at the spot to investigate
the matter, and found that the box
had been removed during the night,
leaving the tracks of vehicle,
while the air about the place was
impregnated with a foul stencil.
The conclusion was that the peddler
had been murdered for his money,
and the murderers getting wind of
the discovery, moved the body.

lated upon the success which
crowned Decoration Day. 1t was
success from beginning to end.
Jas. H. Wells takes much pride in

The members of the Bivouac are
not ashamed of their badges and
wear them out where everybody
can see them.
The cornet band rendered good
music yesterday evening. The
"Rebel yell" was heard when it
struck up "Dixie."
The street car company displayed
considerable enterprise in handling
the large crowd, and is to be com
mended. There was no trouble on
either trip and they carried about
forty people to the car.
The people of GAINESVILLE are to be
commended upon the interest mani
tested in the exercises on Decoration
Day. The Bivouac is grateful to
them for it, and returns thanks.

AT 3 o'clock last evening Forbes
Bivouac assembled at the court house,
and accompanied by large crowd of
citizens, repaired to Greenwood Gem
etery to do honor to the Confederate
soldiers buried there. The exercises
were held on Confederate Circle and
were opened by a speech from Capt.
II. II. Smith. He briefly stated the
cause of the gathering and called on
DR.. Sears to lead in prayer. After
the prayer, music was rendered by
the choir.
Col. w. F. Young was called on
and responded in quite a lengthy
address. He talked about the war
and its consequences.
Col. Young was followed by DIR.
Butler Boyd, who spoke about five
minutes. His short talk made fine
impression on the crowd and they
cheered him Justify. Hecan come as

have long grown weary of being asked
to insure his life, according to the Lon
don News. MIR. Singleton was poor
man and an illitcrate; he had no par
ticular desire to insure his life; he had
no money to pay premiums, and as to
filling up proposal with its custom
ary schedule he had not glimmering
of an idea of how to do it. But all this
was of no consequence in the eyes OF
his friends and acquaintances. They
were wont apparently to accost him in
some such way Us this: GOOD morning,
Jenny. Any objection to my insuring
your life?" Jenny, who probably saw
in the suggestion pleasing visions of re-
freshments at the bar, doubtless an
swered, like Mr.. BarlSis, that he was
willing" and forthwith the friend pro-
ceeded to Gil up the form.
So the thing went on till no fewer
than twenty distinct policies, represent
had been effected on the lie of this
little old ostlcr who knocked about in
the yard of this public house." Did
James Singleton sleep at ease with
these twenty persons all around him
listening to his coughs and watching
day by day to see if his gait grew
feebler and his hands more tremulous
than they were? Apparently he con-
cerned himself little about such mat
ters. But now he is dead and buried
and one of the policy holders has been
prosecuting his claim at the Manchester
assizes. Need we say that Mr.. Justice
Smith has read him a lesson on gam
bling in policies and that the jury have
not looked with too kindly eye on the
too favorable description of Mr.. Single
ton in the vicariously filled-up propo-
sal? Counsel, in brief, threw up the
case at a point and the jury at once re-
turned verdict by the consent of the
insurance company.

But He Told Half Truth When ne wss

Burrows was, without doubt, tho
most notorious liar Nevada will ever
shelter, says the New York Sun. His
fame as liar spread for hundred
miles around, and men used to stop at
our cnmp to get look at him. He
wasn't a wicked man, and he had
no malice about him, but he WINS
a natural born liar. He lied about
his father, his mother, his wife, broth
ors, sisters and everybody else, and for
every hour in the day he had new
falachood.
One day a lot of earth and rock caved
in ON him and inflicted fatal injuries,
and a number of us knocked off work
to be with him in his last moments.
Lying there with only hour of life
left to him, he told us that he had been
n pirate on the Pacific and where he
had buried a large amount of plumber.
We ell knew that he was from Ohio and
had never seen IN ocean.
One of the men finally felt it his duty
to say:
Burrows. you have only short
time to live. You had best spend that
in preparing for eternity"
i've allus been good" he quietly re-
piled.
"ycs, but you arc an awful liar, you
know"

haven't I?''

"And every one has been laid up

lie went off soon after that, and we
said to each other shat he had given us
the greatest yarn Of all. No one took
his claim. which was accounted poor
one, and it lay for three months before

hadn't got the picl; when he camo

DEFIANCE.

Chill Refuses to Accept Responsibility for
tho Attack on American scamcn In VAL
paraiso.
The Chilian government has replied
to Minister Egan's demand for an ex-
PLANTATION of the recent attack upon
American sailors. The reply is couched
in very strong language, and it is under
stood that it amounts to a refusal to ac-
cept responsibility for the affair.
The state department at Washington
has been notified. Minister Egan,
Commander Schley and Consul Me-
Creery are consulting together, and
it is thought that decisive ac-
ton will be taken soon.
The state departments orders in ref
erence to the matter are very strong.

fused to guarantee the safety of market

morning from the U. s. warship Balti-

vessel coming ashore at night There
is practical boycott on the Baltimore.
No American sailors are allowed on
shore. Great excitement has been
caused in Santiago by the report that
the Chilian legation in Washington has
been attacked. Only a short time
would be required for the United
States to assemble a formidable naval
force against Chilli. Two warships

EARTHQUAKE.
Many People Killed and Much Property
DESTROYED in japan.

Many People Killed and Much Property
Destroyed In Japan.
A private telegram, dated Hiogo, re-
ceived in London, Wednesday night,
confirms the report made in former tel
egrams that disastrous earth quake
shock has occurred in japan. This tel.
egram says that severe shock was
experienced at Osaka, and that the de-
struction, both of life and property,
was very great. So severe was the
shock that a number of houses were
thrown to the ground, and many of tho
occupants were caught in the falling
buildings and crushed to death. A large
number of persons succeeded in escap-
ing from their tottering homes only to
meet death in the streets, to which they
had fled for safety from the falling
debris. There is no means at present
of estimating the total loss of life; in
fact, the details of the catastrophe are
very meager, as all the telegraph wires
are broken in the districts affected
The above mentioned private dispatch,
however, states that it is known that
in Osaka alone the death list contains
the names of three hundred OF the resi-
dents of that city.

ed the following: 1t is the opinion Of

her public roads and that no lease Of
convicts should be made after the ex-

ther hold that the present convict force
now used in working public roads can
be and should be greatly increased by
lowering the penalties for certain
crimes.
