CHATTANOOGA, Feb. 29.-Another sen.
sational chapter was added today to the
somewhat exciting litigation in the
domestic troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Young, over the possession of their
child. Young is a young attorney whose
wife some time ago sued for divorce.
While Mrs. Young was in Alabama re-
Gently, he forcibly obtained possession
of their child, despite an order that had
been ordered by Judge Moon, of this
city, granting the mother the custody
of the child pending the divorce suit.
Judge Moon cited him to appear and
answer charge of contempt of court,
ordering him to produce the child. The
case came up for hearing this afternoon.
The courtroom was crowded with law
yers and big contingent of the fair
sex. The child was not present. Young
said he could not produce her, for prior
to the contempt case he had sent her to
relatives in Massachusetts,. Judge Moon
was hot. To the astonishment OF
Young'S attorney the Judge fined him
$50 and sent him to Jail for ten days. II
at the end of that time the child is not
produced Young is to remain in jail in
definitely. The sentence has caused a
sensation in both legal and social
circles.

Found a Long Lost sister.

GAINESVILLE, Feb. ga sad case of
child desertion has just come to light
here. More than ten years ago the wife
of Joe Huddleston, of Robertson County,
died, and when he married second
time he concluded to rid himself of his
two small children, John and Ophelia.
He and his new wife took the girl to the
woods and were about to abandon her,
when she was taken in charge by man
named Travis. The boy, John, was
bound out, but refused to remain where
he was sent and returned home to find
his sister. His father threatened to cut
his throat if he did not leave. He went
away and for the past ten years has
been wanderer, endeavoring to find
his sister, going as far away from home
as Texas, where he learned to be COW
boy. Last Saturday young Huddleston
happeneR to come here. 1t now turns
out that his sister Ophelia has been a
member of the family of Joseph Spill
ers, of this city, for the past nine years,
where she has been well cared for, hav'
ing been given to Spillers by the man
Travis, who took her from her heartlesS
father in the woods of Robertson County.
When the above fact became known
there was a joyous meeting between the
long separated children. The girl is

A TERRIBLE FATE.

Abraham and Marcus Cohen Burned to
Death In St. Louis Sy an Explosion while
Engaged In Setting Fire to Their Store
In Order to Secure the Insurance.
ST. LOUIS, March 5.-Abraham and
Marcus B. Cohen, brothers, were burned
to death under peculiar circumstances.
About 3:15 a. m. a tremendous ex-
plosion occurred in their place of busi-
ness at 2744 Chouteau avenue, and the
doors, window sashes, and indeed the
entire front of the store was hurled into
the street. followed by lurid burst of
flame. Amid the noise the agonizing
screams of a human being were heard
and a moment later Marcus Cohen
emerged from the building clad only in
his undergarments, which were all on
fire. From exclamatlons uttered by
the burning man it was gathered
that his brother Abraham was
in the burning building, and his
body was found later buried
under heap of garments in the
frontpar of the store Marcus Cohen
was hurried to the city dispensary,
where he died about 1890 a. m.
Meanwhile the fire department had
responded promptly and soon had the
fire under control, when it was discov-
cred that all of the gas tips were un-
screwed and the conclusion was arrived
at that the brothers had been en-
gagged in an attempt to burn out
their store for the insurance (S7. 5OO)
which they had on their stock of cloth
ing, etc. This conclusion was strength
ened by the information obtained from
a neighbor that few nights ago he
had seen a wagon driven up to the rear
of the store, in the alley, and divers
bundles of goods carted away, but, as
he expresses it, he thought they were
merely preparing for failure, and he
did not consider it any of his business.
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by the rapid escape of gas
from the uncapped burners, which went
off quicker than was intended, as other
preparation for setting the fire was
found in the shape of pressed paper
bucket of gasoline at the rear of the
store.
