HARRoDsBuRe, KY, Aug. I-For over 1OC
years the offices of Circuit and County Clerk
of this (Mercer) county have been in the
Allin family, record which is probably
without parallel. The first court held in the
county opened at Harrodsburg the first day
of August, 1885, and on that day Thomas
Allin was appointed Circuit and County
Clerk. He held the office of Circuit Clerk
until 1s23 when he resigned, but continued
to act as County Clerk until February Z, 1881,
when he resigned that office also, having
served as Circuit Clerk 81 years and County
Clerk IS years.
Upon his resignation as Circuit Clerk in
1928 his son, Phil 7. Allin, was appointed to
the position and held 1t until his death in
1S49. % years. Ben C.Allin then received the
appointment, and was Circuit Clerk until
1862, when. on account OF his strong South
ern sympathy, Untonist was elected-the
offce having been previously made an cleo
tive one. The Allins were out of this office
until 1886, when Bush W. AIlin, son of Ben
c. Allfn, was elected for a term of six years.
and he has recently received the Democratic
nomination for smother term.
When Thomas Allin, Jr., resigned the
county clerkship in 1881, his son, Thomas
Allin, Jr., received the appointment, and
held 1t (by election after 1850 until 1862. In
that year, because he favored the South, he
was denied the right to become q candidate,
and q Union sympathizer was elected. In
1886 Ben c. Allin, the former Circuit Clerk,
was elected County Clerk, and he still holds
the office, being probably the oldest court
clerk, in point Of service as we'll as in age. in
the U nfted States. He was born in 1905 and
is therefore "a years old. He mas served as
assistant, deputy clerk of one of the
courts since childhood.

CONFESSES TO A MURDER.

A London Criminal says He Was Con-
-He Also Had q Hand in Two Other
Crimes of the Same Sort.
LONDON, Aug. IA man who is con-
fined in prison in Glasgow has confessed to
the authorities that he was implicated in
the murder of Lord Leitrim, who was shot
and killed on April 2, 1873, while driving
near his residence in County Derry, Ire
land. The prisoner also stated that
he was concerned in the killing of
Lord Mount Morres at Rusheen, County
Mayo, ireland, September 25, 1880. He
further says he was hired to assist the
man who killed the informer James Carey,
who was shot and killed on board the
steamer Melrose at Port Elizabeth, South
Africa, by passenger named O'Donnell.
The prison commissioners are carefully
investigating the story of the man, whom
they have subjected to a most searching
examination and are endeavoring to secure
proof of his statements. They refuse to
divulge the prisoners name or to furnish
any information regarding him. None of
the persons concerned in the murders of
Lord Leitrim and Lord Mount Morres were
ever caught.
James Carey, In whose murder the pris-
oner says he was hired to assist, was we'll
to-do tradesman and Town Councillor of
Dublin, who furnished the information
through which the persons who, on May 6,
1882, murdered Lord Frederick Caven-
dish, the newly appointed Chief
Secretary for ireland, and Un-
der Secretary Burke in Phoenix Park
were brought to justice. He it was who
by dropping handkerchief gave the signal
tor the murderers to do their work.
After the conviction and sentence of the
prisoners, Carey left the country and ex-
traordinary precautions were taken by the
Dublin police to conceal his destination.
These precautions largely through Carey's
own behavior, proved unavailing, and he
was tracked to South Africa by one Patrick
O'Donnell, who shot and killed him on
board the steamer Melrose at Port
Elizabeth. O'Donnell was subsequently
brought back to England and placed on
trial for Carey's murder in the Central
Criminal Court, where he was finally con-
victed of murder and sentenced to be
hanged. He was executed at New Gate,
December II, 1883. 1t has been ascertained
that the prisoner is a lifelong criminal
named Anderson. He has often been con-
victed of various offenses. His intellect is
weak

third. The base running of the Chicagos was
vile, but the havoc that knocked the colts into
a cooked hat came in the third. Kelly had
struck out and Red Ehret made a hit Then
Miller took base on balls, Donovan
touched off a grounder that "Jiggs Parrot
iuggled, missing not only put out but
chance for an easy double.
Some Very Timely Singles.
With the sacks loaded, old Bill Hutchi-
son was jumped on for three little singles
which with a sacrifice drove five runs, only
one of which was earned, over the plate.
That settled the game then and there. The
crowd was one of the smallest ever seen at
the park The rain which fell up to 8
o'clock and continued intermittenly
throughout the game was responsible for
the poor attendance. The game all around
was as sloppy as the weather. The Chi
cagos lost through their wretched playing
in the first three innings and deserved to
lose. The colts had fighting chance in the
second, when Anson and Wilmot with no
hands out made doubles. But Anson's
foothold was not secure and he went to
grass Ehret struck out Canavan and
Decker. then Clutch" became an easy out
In the third Schriver made hit, went to
second on a VIII pllcu anu W IulIu ou
Shugart's low throw of Dahlen's grounder.
The Patrol Wagon Was There.
Dahlen started to steal second, and Bill,
who runs like selling platter, started for
home, but found the patrol wagon there an
hour ahead of him. The Colts got in their
only runs in the fourth. After Anson's
out wilmot poked out a hit and Canavan
got base on balls. Then Oanavan started
for second. Beckley muffed Bierbauer's
throw. Wilmot had time to skip to third,
but he fingered too long and was run down
between the bases. Decker's slashing
three-bagger into right scored Canavan, and
the long and lean right fielder dragged his
run home on Bierbauer's throw to Farrell
After that run of luck in the third things
went easy until the seventh. Miller few
out and Donovan sent up a high fly that
wilmot made a gallant squirt for. The
ball fell short and Donovan raced to sec
ond, from whence he scored on Smiths sac
rifce and Shugart's little single. Attend
