WILLIAMSON ALIVE.
The Murderer Of Louis Thornton
Now In Europe.
His Funeral at louisville Said to Have
Been Sham to Deceive the
Authorities.

, Special TO the Leaf Chronicle.l
New PORT, KY, May 2S.-This
city is excited over the report that
VIM. F. Williamson, the murderer
OF Louis Thornton, the erstwhile
husband OF the notorious Buggy"
Burns, formerly of Louisville, now
of Cincinnati, is not dead, but Is In
Europe, and that his death and
burial were sham gotten up to de-
ceive the people and cheat the law.
Shortly after the killing William
son was taken Ill from nervous pros.
tration, and was never able to leave
his bed. After a few weeks 1t was
alleged that he died and was buried
at Spring Grove cemetery, near Cin-
cinnati. All the funeral services
were gone through with and his fun
eral preached at his residence by an
Episcopal minister. His remains
were not at the time exposed to the
view of the public, and now this fact
and the other circumstance, that his
funeral was preached at his home In
stead of at the Episcopal church 10
which he belonged, is used as basis
for the rumor that he is not dead,
but that a dummy was placed In the
coffin, and Williamson was spirited
away by friends, alive and well.
Williamson was indicted for the
murder of Thornton, and 1t was the
opinion of many that there was
provocation for the murder.
"Buggy" Burns was one Of the
most notorious women that ever
lived in Louisville. 1t was on her
account that Charley Dilger killed
two of the most valued members OF
the Louisville police force. The Of
ficers were attempting to arrest him
for alleged abuse Of the Burns wo-
man, when he murdered both with
dirk. Dilger was hanged for the
double murder.

Canning and Preserving Strawberries

TIC. the Tobacco Leaf Chronicle:
Strawberries to be canned should
be firm and not over ripe. I can
them two ways. Weigh fruit, and
allow half poundsof best white sugar
to one pound fruit. Put sugar and
fruit-no water-into a kettle and
stew we'll for half an hour. Have
glass self-sealing jars ready-quarts
are best-wiped very dry inside. Fill
quickly with the cooking fruit and
screw on top.
The other way is to weigh fruit and
allow two pounds of sugar to one of
berries. Make very thick syrup
with the sugar and water. While it
is boiling hard carefully drop into
the syrup the berries, few at a
time. After they begin to cook let
them boil hard for half an hour, then
put them into the Jars the usual way,
always filling level full. They
shrink some when cold. I always
dip Off quantity of the juice from
the cooking berries for canned fruit,
as Strawberries 60 80 badly to juice,
and want my jars to be as full OF
solid fruit as possible. This syrup l
put in again and let boil a little
longer, then pour into small-mouthed
bottles and seal and put in a cool,
dark place, using as strawberry acid
in summer, with crushed ice. Some
times a sliced lemon added when
used improves this.
Preserves / also make two ways.
Both are excellent. Half ripe
strawberries-pound for pound of ber-
ries and sugar, the best granulated-
wash berries and drain the water from
them few minutes. Put half the
sugar into kettle, then the berries,
and the rest of the sugar on top. Do
not put drop of water in them let
boil two or three hours until thick
enough. Watch closely and only slip
a silver spoon about the bottom to
prevent sticking, but do not stir.
They should make a solid, light
preserve, most of the berries remain.
ing whole. often add a quart OF
stoned cherries to these when max.
ing, which improves and thickens
them.
The other way-Wash berries and
drain a few minutes, then weigh
them and put them into kettle (no
water), and let them come to boil I;
cook well for over an hour. Allow
one pound ofsugar to one OF fruit
add the sugar after the hours cook
ing, and continue to cook until the
right consistency. This will be
elegant preserves. 1t is best 10 put
strawberry preserves In small jars.
Never let the berries stand In sugar
before making; this causes a finnish
syrup that cannot be overcome.
Jelly is made by expressing the
juice from fresh berries cook for
some time, then add one pint of
white sugar to one of juice, having
measured before putting the juice in
TO cook. Heat the sugar before
adding, and add the juice of one or
two lemons. An acid berry makes
the best jelly.

ANDREW HOPPIS HURT.
He Falls From Gar and Receives Seri-
GUS Injuries.

Andrew Hoppis, Jr., of this city,
was perhaps, fatally hurt at the
"Twin Bridge" near Erin, last even
ing. He is brakeman, and was
running on north bound freight
train. In stepping from one car to
another he lost his footing and fell
between the cars, sustaining severe
cuts on the head and, it is feared, in
ternal injuries. The wounded man
was taken to Erin in an unconscious
condition, where he received medical
attention. AT last reports he was
resting easy, but the chances were
thought to be against his recovery.
He is a son of Andrew Hoppls, the
bridge watchman here, and is a wor-
thy young man. For long time
he was employed in the l.. & N.
yards at the freight depot.

PEACHER's MILLS, May 28.--The
rains have thrown the farmers too
far behind with their work to ever
catch up this season. They are hard
ly through planting corn, and tobacco
plants are overgrown, with little
ground ready to receive them. The
wheat harvest Is nearly here, and
with all these crops on hand 1t will
be next to impossible to do any OF
them justice. The wheat, oat and
hay crops, however, were never
more promising for heavy yield.

The Partisan Fashion Journals.

La Mode de ParlS and "AlDum
des Modes" so well-known as the pub
lications giving the choicest Paris
styles one month in advance of all
other journals, appear to be growing
just a little too popular The de-
mand for them is growing so rapidly
that the publishers, A. Mcdowell &
Co, 4 West 18th Street, New York,
have found it difficult to keep up with
the increasing demand each month.
They claim that the American ladies
are now buying their journals to such
an extent that most OF the news
dealers are entirely out of them by
the fifth Of the month. As all the
plates are made in Paris by the best
artists, the publishers claim that it re
qulres considerable time to catch up
with such an increased demand. We
agree with our lady friends that these
are superior fashion journals. We
suggest to them to become regular
subscribers, thus making sure of re-
ceiving their journal each month,
and securing that valuable book,
"Dressmaking Simplifed," that is
given as premium TO each subscriber
paying $3.50 in advance for either
La Mode dc Paris or 'Album des
Modes" for one year. You may
place the order through your news
agent, or send direct to the publishers.

1T seems utterly impossible for soldier
hating papers TO reason accurately concern
ing any fact connected with pensions or
veterans, Here, for example, is a solemn
editorial in the Boston Herald:
Here are some remarkably impressive pension
figures: Minnesota furnished Is $50 three years

explanation 81 this excess Of pensioners over the

Who can estimate the amount Of good
done 20 every section Of the country by the
Sis, 54s, $50 which was distributed last year
in pensions?
Undoubtedly this performed the duty
ordinarily done by 10 times that amount,
because it was scattered broadcast in small
sums, and reached everybody. 1T was liter
ally the "nimble penny, which is better than
a slow shilling" Not dollar was boarded
nor suffered to lie idle Within a month after
each quarterly payment each dollar had done
the work of 500. The pensioner distributed
his stipend at once TO his neighbors in shape
Of payments for groceries, clothing, bread and
meat medicines and medical attendance,
rents, etc, and the recipients put it into
immediate circulation in buying things for
themselves or paying their debts, 50 that be-
fore the month was out every dollar had
passed through scores Of hands and done
good work wherever it went.
The same amount Of money paid to the
bondholders or dumped into Wall street
would not have done the country a frac-
tional part Of the good. Very few people
would have received any benefit from IL
/ The larger part would have lain idle for
months, seeking an investment" The pen
sion money did not lie idle a day. Every
pensioner had immediate use for every dol
lar Of ii, and be put it TO that use at once.
There was no fayoritism about its distribu-
ton. 1t came like a fruitful shower in
Summer time, which falls equally on the
just and the unjust. The worst soldier
hater in time got as much benefit from il
as the best friend Of the veterans, for il was
scattered impartially through every com
munity. The moment it was out of the
! pensioners hands ID went into those OF
every member Of the community. No bet
ter scheme ever was OF could be devised fol
an equable redistribution Of the people,.
money. il was given, in the first place, tC
those to whom the Government owed a just
debt, and they Immediately scattered il

Much Of the present prosperity Of tht
country is undoubtedly due to the equabl,
distribution Of this vast sum.
