GAINESVILLE, Tenn, April s.-There
has been found among the private papers
of the late DR.. Francois Foutenay, the
written confession of crime which oa-
cured q years ago and of which Dr.
FOutenay was never suspected,
The Rev. A. NJ. Feltner, II rector of the
Episcopal church disappeared mysteriously
in 1865, and dligent search by his friends
failed to furnish any clew To what had be-
come of him. His wife had just died, but
beyond that no cause for melancholy was
known, and nothing could be learned to
indicate any motive for going away SO
strangely.
The document Just discovered is a con-
fession by DR., Foutenay that lie murdered
MIR. Fcltner. The confession goes into de-
tails. DR.. Foutenay was Mrs Feltner
physician and had become greatly inter.
csted in the case because of some peculiar
features that appeared to his professional
zeal.
When Mrs Feltner died he yielded to
the temptation to steal the body for an
autopsy, He had removed it from is
resting place and was preparing to refill
| the grave, when he .Teceivcd stunning
| blow from behind. Wheeling around he
| found himself face to face with Feltner,
| the latter maddened by the Dissertation of
his wifes grave.
| The rector attacked him again, and to
| defend himself, knowing that protests
| would be useless, the doctor seized the
shovel and struck his assailant OH the
head, hoping to stun him and escape. The
blow crushed the temple bone, catising in.
slant death.
The mortified murderer placed the body
in the empty collin and reiilled the grave
Rain washed away all trace Of the work
and the strange disappearance was soor
forgotten.
Dr. Fputenay adopted his victims twc
children, both of whom are living. The
daughter is married to state official. Tbs
son is in the government service. llr
Foutenay was wealthy bachelor and left
them his fortune.
Mrs. Feltner's body was found where
the confession said it had been buried, j!
the cellar Of the doctors house, and wa!
reinterred beside that Of her husband.

Gov. PECK is showing some OF the
good old hard sense which characterized
him years ago when he chose to follow
the dictates of genuinely kind heart
rather than the pronptings OF political
ambition. There is no period in the gov
ernor's life the events OF which he recalls
with more pleasure than when he was
poor country editor. The flavor of these
times stays with him and when he yields
to it's Influence the common classes are
uppermost in his mind. He wants the
Wisconsin state house at theWorld's Fair
Grounds to be hone for the humber
people OF the state, and wants them to
feel that they are there by right and not
Oh sufferance. He can feel for these peo-
pie because be was one OF them. the
governor may have been led away from
his early love by the glamour OF wealth
and the demands OF politics. But he has
a habit OF breaking away from new asso-
Citations and returning to she Cd love,
and then George Peck appears at his best.

SECRETARY Hoke Smith has by rul-
ing recently made, made cut IN pensions
which will save the country from 3d.
100000 to $20,0O0,000 per year. 1t is re-
vocation of an order Of Ex-Commission-
er Raum which went further in the mat
ter of extending tie class of persons who
should receive pensions than was con-
templated by tho act of congress. Sec
zetary Smiths ruling is that disability
which is not of service origin does not
entitle an applicant to a pension unless
it prevents him from earning his support
by manual labor.
Disability Of service origin, that Is, dis
ability contracted while in the service of
the country as a soldier, need not be
complete 10 be cause for the granting
OF q pension. But if the disability occur
subsequent to the war, the applicant is
not entitled to pension. This is very
important ruling and its justice will be
apparent to any one. 1t is blow struck
at the issuance Of persons to people not
entitled to them.
