EVERY FRIDAY

AS HE was going home from his Office
Monday night, Joseph B. Rucker, editor
of the Somerset Reporter, was fired at by
cowardly assassin hid in the darkness
and two Of the three shots struck him in
the back. He fell, apparently dead
and was taken by friends to the nearest
drug store, when he gave signs OF life
He was then removed to his home,
where he died little past midnight, at
ter recovering consciousness enough to
say he did not see who shot him. Mr..
Rucker has been very outspoken in his
denunciation of crime and criminals and
il is thought that one of the many who
have felt the deserved lash of his pen.
committed the foulest deed known to
the law-an assassination. 1t has not
been very long since the same gentle
man was dubbed from behind by man
who was smarting under the showing
up of his deeds by the editor, and the
fact that he has so far gone unwhipped
of Justice no doubt embroidered the cow
ardly scoundrel to do his infamous work.
The citizens are thoroughly aroused and
if the assassin is caught they will deal
summarily with him. 1t is the kind OF
case that needs no Judge and jury and
calls aloud for lynch law. Mr.. Rucker
was a peacable, kind-hearted man, but
could not countenance crime in any
shape and he has made his paper OF late
a terror to evil doors, as every editor
should feel it his duty to do. He leaves
a wife and three children, all OF them
grown, who have the consolation that he
died victim OF what seemed to be to
him his duty. We sympathize sincerely
with them and execrate the miserable
6end, who has deprived them OF hus'
bands and fathers love and protection.
May the crime be wiped out in short or
der so far as the life Of the assassin isable
to do it.
The assassin is thought to be Ex'Chief
of Police Anderson, for whose willful
neglect OF duty he was frequently scored
by Editor Rucker. He finally resigned
and went into the saloon business, 60
ing from bad to worse. The county has
offered 81 900 reward for his capture, the
State $500 and a brother-in-law oil the
deceased $500. Strong efforts are being
made to apprehend him when we hope
he will not be allowed long to cumber
the earth.

A CONTEMPORARY calls attention TO the
fact that there is now but one survivor
of President Davis cabinet, Postmaster
General John II. Reagan, OF Texas. now
railroad commissioner OF the State, after
having been congressman and U. S.
Senator. This is recalled by the death
of Gov. Watts, the other day, who was
attorney general in the same cabinet. 1t
is also reminder OF how fast those who
played prominent parts in that great
conflict are passing away. Not one of
the leading generals are living and soon
there will be left none TO tell the tale OF
our civil war. The youngest OF the Con-
federate soldiers are now so or past and
the buoyancy OF youth has given way to
gray hairs and STOPPING forms, which
must soon moulder into clay.

more than half OF the women were I'M

ence arose and asked the ladies to re-
tire. They did so, when be walked
down to the pulpit and asked the preach

He repeated the charge. whereupon the
doctor drew cowhide andA literally
wore him out. And most people will say
he deserved all he got.

Gov. HILL has proved that he is not
only democrat, but man every inch oil
him. His speech at Brooklyn in advoca'
cy OF democratic doctrines and the cleo
ton OF Cleveland and Stevenson, is full OF
wisdom and e'oquence ard contains
enough key notes for the whole cam
paign. His utterances on the tariff and
other issues are clearer than the clearest
and the whole speech demonstrates that
if he had any bitterness, he has been
able to put it away most heroically. Let
every disappointed democrat say with
him: Loyalty to cardinal democratic
principles and to regularly nominated
candidates is the supreme duty OF the

A PART of our last edition contained
dispatch OF the nomination OF Gov. j. X.
Hindman, OF Adair, for Congress, by
the convention at London. Mr.. S. @.
Hardin, OF Clinton, withdrew and the
nomination was made unanimously and
enthusiastically. We are not so credu
lous to believe that the governor will be
able to overcome the 10000 republican
majority OF the 18th district, but there
il not another democrat in the district
who can give Col. Adams as close race
as be can. He is very captivating
stump speaker and is as popular as he is
clever and handsome. In word he is
lust the man to win votes from the re-
publicans, while carrying his own par
tvs strength solidly.

IT is little wonder that murder and
other lawlessness hold high carnival in
Kentucky, when life sentence is given
for a crime for which the death penalty
would poorly atone. Brooksbire, the
horse thief, who killed the jailer and
constable who tried TO arrest him, was
tried at Frenchburg Monday and given
the former sentence. The people were
80 outraged that they would have quick
y put an end to the wretch's life, but
the officers spirited him away and by a
circuitous route landed him at Frank
fort. With tender-hearted juries and
weak judges. lynch law will continue to
be resorted to aud in such case as this
il will be justifiable.

COGGESHALL is DEAD.
The Newport Man Finally Ends His
Life by Shooting.
HE HAD BUT JUST RECOVERED.
Lawton Coggeshaii Shot Himself Through
the Brain this Morning and Died ut
Once-A Former Attempt was Thought
to Have Been an Accident.

NEWPORT, Aug. 25.-Some weeks ago
this community was startled by the news
that Lawton Coggeshall, the well-known
ship supply man on Commercial Wharf,
had attempted suicide.
He was then found in an upper story OF
his warehouse with bullet wound, from
which he later recovered, and the theory
of accident was given out.
He was seen upon the streets yesterday
much to the pleasure OF his numerous
friends. Early this morning the news
spread like wildhre that he had again
shot himself, and the story was soon con-
firmed.
The NEWS reporter saw DIR. Rankin,
who said that Mr.. Coggeshall had shot
himself through the brain and was dead.
The deceased Is brother Of the Hon.
Thomas Coggeshall, for so many years
Newport's postmaster and chairman Of
the State Board OF Charities and Correc-
tions.
The suicide IL the sole topic of conver-
sation and has cast feeling OF gloom
over the city. Mr.. Coggeshall was very
popular man OF very genial and iovable
disposition aud was widely known among
seataring men and yachtmen-
For many years he was commissioners
