Terrible Retribution

MILAN, TENN, June 2l.-FOr some
time past DR. John Hood, of Alden, six
teen miles north Of here, has suspected
that improper relations existed between
his wife and William Piper. Monday
night DR.. Hood left home, ostensibly on
a visit to patient, but instead hid in an
outbuildlng near the house. In less than
an hour Piper entered the house. DR.,
Hood forced his way to his wife's bed
room and found his wife and Piper in a
compromising situation. The doctor at
tempted to shoot Piper, but the pistol
snapped. Snstching a coal oil lamp burn
ing on a table near by, the wronged hus
band dashed the missile az Piper's head,
the glass horribly cutting bis face, The
lamp exploded, the oil running in streams
OF fire over Piper's body, burning his
right ear off, destroying the sight of both
eyes, literally cooking his breast and
shoulders and burning his hair aud
beard. He died in less thai an hour.
The unfaithful wife threw herself upon
the body of the mass of charred Il Ssh and
cried for death to take her with her lover.
All the parties are prominent people in
this section.

We are to have have a lively cam
paign, says the Richmond cores
pondent of the Petersburg IndtS-
Appeal, and the voters will not be
compelled to choose between two sets OF
candidates, for the prohibitionists are 60
ing to offer the best they have in stock.
For the first time in the history of the old
commonwealth the cold water folks will
nominate a full state ticket. 1t is an
nounced on good authority that they will
hold their convention in Richmond the
latter part OF July or early in August.
Col. ]. r. Miller, of Pulaski. formerly
grand worthy chief templar, IS spoken OF
for the governOrsbip. The prohibitionists
will also try to secure some represen-

gratifying, indeed, to them to hold the

they think they could make themselves
