Died, at his home near Camargo, on
Tuesday, September 8, 1894, John Jay
Anderson, aged rs years.
Mr.. Anderson was one of the best
known citizens of Montgomery coun-
ty. An active business man, man
endowed with an intellect very far
above the average, full of energy and
man who enjoyed the confidence
and respect of all who knew him, He
had the courage of his convictions,
and though not obtrusively open in
declaring them, he was always ready
to give a reason for the faith that was
in him, His life was not all sun
shine. In early manhood he married
Miss Margaret Mitchell, and after a
short period of married life in the
year 1913, in a well remembered
cyclone the house in which the young
wife was sheltered was destroyed and
u0I own anu uoI lilOInSl JULIUS WoIo
found in the debris with life extinct.
For his second wife, he married Miss
Ann M, Mitchell, who survives him,
though in a very precarious state of
health. Mr.. Anderson was a useful
and upright citizen, and until very re-
Gently active for more than his years
would indicate.
His remains were placed in the
vault in Machpelah Cemetery. Ar

the ashes of all the family that rest in
the family burying ground at Side

Five masked men, farmers living
not far from CORN, Mo-, attempted to
hold up a Santa Fee railroad train on
Tuesday night. The railroad people
were apprised of the raid and had
made preparation to give the des-
peradoes warm reception when they
should show up. The scoundrels
placed torpedo on the track and
further down the road swung Ian
tern TO notify the train men to hold
up. One of the robbers ordered the
engineer to throw up his hands, and
his order not being complied with
promptly enough to suit him, the rob-
Der fired on the railroad man, severely
wounding him. This was signal
tor the detectives and officers hid in
the train to open fire on the despera-
does. Two were severely wounded
and captured, the others escaped fol-
lowed by the Sheriff and possee.

DEsHA BRECKENRIDGE
Draws Els Big Knife and Goes Out
For Gore.

Desha Breckenridge became involv-
ed in difficulty with j. ID. Living
ston, the financial agent off. Kennedy
Todd, owner of the Kentucky Union
Railway, at the Phoenix Hotel in Lex
ington, on Friday evening. Living
ston, at whose side Breckenridge was
standing. proposed that they shake
hands and be friends as the campaign
was over. This advance was repuls-
ed in vile language by Breckenridge,
which was kept up until he finally
called Livingston liar. Then Liv-
ingston struck him. Breckenridge
drew long dirk, and Livingston to
keep the blade from entering his body,
caught hold of it, cutting his hand
quite severely. By-standers rushed
forward and prevented further blood
shed. One Lane, said to be from Mt.
Sterling, was with Breck inridge and
h"uO hihioOli qulIo OihOlOu5 III uOCldI-
ing he would have hand in helping
Breckenridge. Later Breckenridge
and Lane were walking along the
street and met Judge G. B. Kincaid,
when they both abused him in round
terms, applying many vile epithets to
him. Kincaid said he was not armed
and did not, at any time, desire
street fight. Breckenridge told Kin
caid to go and arm himself that he
would meet him anywhere Young
Breckenridge is undertaking rather a
large contract if he expects to insult
and abuse every man who worked
against his father in the Ashland Dis
trict. The fresh young man needs a
right good sound spanking, and if he
does not soon subside he will get some
thing worse.

TWO MINISTER'S AT WAR.
Elder Sweeney and Rev. F. W.
Fraser Engaged
In a Bitter Personal Fight Grow.
ing Out of Old Charges.

Columbus, Ind, September 81 -
Trouble has broken out afresh be-
tween Rev. u. Sweeney, ex-Consul
General at Constantinople and pastor
of the Tabernacle Christian church.
and Rev. f. w. Fraser, pastor of a
Presbyterian church in this city. 1t
was renewed by long letter sent by
Mr.. Sweeney to the meeting of the
White Lick Presbytery few days
ago, making complaint against Mr..
Fraser because the latter had refused
to substantiate or Withdraw certain
underlined charges made against the
ex-Consul General over a year ago.
In his letter, Mr.. Sweeney said.
Il have called upon Mr.. Fraser on
more than one occasion to meet me in
fraternal investigation of his charge,
only to be met by naughty denial
and insulting insinuations.- 1 have
repeatedly demanded that he join me
in mutually chosen tribunal and
submit his charge and sustain it or
else Withdraw it. L have offered, if he
will do so, 10 prove his witness to be
a liar; that he knew his witness was a
liar when he used him, and also to
prove Mr.. Fraser liar as well. /,
have offered to show that lis witness
statement, on which he solely relies,
bears lie on its face. / have offered
to pay his witness fare from Virginia

The main church OF the grea
monastery Of San Francisco, in Mexico,
which since 1869 had been in Protes-

Catholic worship. The foreclosing of
a mortgage which could not be paid
off brought into the hands of a wealthy
Catholic gentleman the building in
which services were attended for
three centuries by Spanish viceroys
and in which the first TIE Deum of
Mexican independence was celebrated,

allegations am ready to prove them,
and will only ask to submit the cores
pondence between us with some cor
roborating aflidavits as the sole and
sufficient proof of all the material allie
cations of this letter."
The letter was returned without &C
ton by the Presbytery, because Mr..
Sweeney is not member of that
church. In letter published here
to-day, Mr.. Fraser comes back at Mr..
Sweeney, and criticises the manner in
which he attempted to place the mat
ter before the Presbytery. In response
to this, Mr.. Sweeney has written
another letter for publication, attack!
ing Mr.. Fraser and repeating several
statements made by the latter, which
he claims, are all falsehoods. In his
second letter, Mr.. Sweeney said.
"The whole matter so far as the
newspapers are concerned, has been
purely personal attack upon my good
name and character, which l have
been building up in this city for TWEEN
ty-three years. now give the public
notice that shall stand upon the de-
Tense no longer. l have my Ken
lucky up, and one of us must go to the
wall. Time will tell who it is.
He then answers some of the false
hoods, which he numbers by letters
from A to E, inclusive, and con-
unues:
''If the gentleman desires me to go
to the u of his duplicity and deviltry,
let him press the button and l will do
the rest. / am well loaded. III con-
clusion ] wish to emphasize to the
public that there is no connection be-
tween the churches and this. God |
forbid that any should confound this |
dirty fight with religion. am
ashamed OF it. 1t is no "preacher
fight" 1t is dirty attack on my
character, and 1 propose to uphold
that for which 1 have labored nearly
twenty-five years to build up. A
man that will not fight for his good
name does not deserve one. Let it
now be fight to the finish, and then
let the public have no more of the
dirty stuff"
The revival of the trouble between
these prominent ministers is regretted
by all citizens here. Mr. Fraser is be-
lrothed to Miss Bertha Cooper, daugh-
ter of Congressman Cooper, the we'd
ding to take place early in October,
and Mr.. Cooper and family, including
the affianced, are leading members of
Elder Sweeney's church, and bosom
family friends. Trouble is feared yet.
Elder Sweeney is brother of Elder
John Sweeney, of Paris, Ky, and has
seven brothers, all Christian preachers

W. G. OWENS
Declared the Nominee in the Ash
land District.
The Official Count Gives Owens
255 Plurality.

The Democratic Committee for
the Seventh Congressional District
met at Frankfort Saturday and de-
clared Hon. w. G. Owens the nomi-
nee of the party for Congress. The
official count showed that Owens
had 255 plurality in the District.
Col. Breckenridge presented to the
Committee a statement in which
he claimed that he still believed
himself the real nominee of the
party, but since contest or an in
dependent race on his part would
only mean the election of Repub-
lican, he would, for the sake of
party harmony, decline and with
draw any claims he might have.
The vote stood: Owens, S,O74;
Breckenridge, 1919; Settle, 3,4O6;
Owens plurality, 255.
p. P. Johnson, a member of the
Committee from Fayette, intro
duced the following resolution,
which was adopted without any
contest:
Whereas, This Committee did
at its last meeting provide that a
man should be a legal voter, a
Democrat and intend in good faith
to support the nominee of the par
ty to be entitled to participate in
the Democratic primary
whereas, Certain persons in
voked the power of court, and
had the provisions of the election
law which gave effect to these
laudable and time-honored princi-
plies suspended in one county Of
the District, and relaxed in others
to the extent that the election was
not held under the law and under
the regulations; therefore, be it
further
"Resolved, That w. c. Owens, on
the face Of the returns. having re-
ceived a plurality of 255 votes, we
declare him the Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the District,
and urge all good Democrats to
give him a hearty support"
The Committee then adjourned.
Mr.. Owens was notified of the
action of the Committee and de
clined to accept the nomination
with any such slur at his friend,
Judge Cantrill, attached to it and
so notified the members of the
Committee. Soon another meeting
was held, the above resolution
and the following one
passed in its stead:
"ResOlved, That Hon. w. c..
Owens, having received a plurality
IF 255 votes cast at the primary
election held on September 10, 1894,
De, and he is hereby, declared the

which shall be certified to the off
