Yet he was far from being without country.
His country the Southern Confederaey. Though dead
for all Others lived for him. For him its gloes and its
suferngs could die The flush of its victories, the
groans of its defeats renewed themselves perpeuay in
his mind.
No, Mr. Davis was not man without a country. As
he lay his death bed resting peacefully with his head
upon his like child in slumber may well imagine
that Lee and Jackson appeared to him, followed by

Mr. Davss services to the people the South did not
end with the dissolution of the Confederacy The closing

and the principles for which they had waged unsuccessful

Isiminger Has Not Con fessed.

There has been, says the Waynes
burg Messenger, vague and unde-
fined rumors afoat regarding the
murder of Samuel Mccoy, rumors
which implicate other persons be
side John Isiminger in the crime.
Inquiry, however, has so far failed
to substantiate these reports, and
the sensation caused by them is dy-
ing out. The report, also, that Isl
minger had made confession to
Sheriff Moore. is also utterly with
out foundation, according to the Of
ficer named, who should certainly
be the best authority in this matter.
The argument for Il new trial in the
case of Isiminger, will be heard on
Friday, MAY 25th.

Sensational News.
Waynesburg Independant.

News of rather sensational char
acter connected with the killing of
Mccoy is in circulation. 1t is to
the effect that family removed from
this place to another county some
weeks after the killing. Recently
the man and his wife became engag
ed in a quarrel and it is stated the
wife was heard by her neighbors to
say to the husband, "You had better
go back to Greene county and help
kill another huckster" Also it is
reported that a visit was made by
interested parties in this cruel kill
ing, to this same house in supposed
interests in the case. A great many
entertain the opinion that more than
one was engaged in the killing of
Samuel Mccoy.
