WENTWORTH SINKING.
The Murderer of Judge Allison Near ing His End-More Light
 on the Tragedy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 15.-George K. Wbitworth, who yesterday fired two bull lets into his body after killing Chancellor Allison, has been steadily sinking all day and is expected to die before morning at his home. At meeting, of the bar of Davidson county this morning, resolutions in memory of tho dead chancellor and re- gret of the tragedy were passed. His re- mains will be inferred tomorrow with much ceremony.
 Further light was thrown on the cause of the deed when there was filed with the court register today deed of assignment, signed by Whitworth and in favor of the Fourth National bank, in trust to secure the payment of S6000 due the bank by Whitworth. The property assigned con. sists for the most part of real estate and thoroug bred stock, all valued at over $25, GOO. This leaves nc doubt that Whit worth was financially involved.
 Allison owed him, so he claimed, some $50 ,000 and on the street the understanding ia that this obligation was incurred by Allison in the course of the recent politi- cal campaign. It is further asserted that great part of this amount Allison refused to repay on legal grounds. Whitworth was incensed that he should have spent this money to re-eiect Allison, and that repay, but should eject Whitworth from office. Allison's failure to pay up also made it necessary for Whitworth to make the assignment, which was filed this morn- ing.
 Whitworth has said since the tragedy that he and Allison could not breathe the same breath or live on the same earth.

A Handy stvlc of Barrow.

A deep wheelbarrow is more useful
than one built on the old plan. because
it will hold more, and the work Of
building such Il barrow is. not much
greater. Any one who owns wheel
and irons belonging to an old wheel
barrow can easily construct one by
first procuring two stout pieces for the
shafts and mortising them together
firmly just behind tile wheel. The next
mortise must come two inches from
the ground on the legs at A. From
this mortise the floor of the barrow
must reach forward to B, where it is
supported by two false legs mortised
into the shafts and rea ching within two
inches of the ground. The sides may
he solid from the floor up. or if prefer
red, they may extend only to the top
of the shafts, and from this point NOV
able sideboards may extend upward.
The only disadvantage in having the
body solid is being forced to remove
most of the load from between the
handles. This wheelbarrow is especial
ly useful in carting leaves, ETC., and in
handling heavy stones, which are load
ed upon it with ease, because so near
the ground. If one desires he may
arrange a movable bottom, which will
permit the load to be deposited with
out tipping by merely raising the han
dies.

The best, and the historical portrait
of Byron, is from the bust by Thor

Guiccioli. Many casts were made from
this, and some are in this country.
A repetition Of the head of the bust
was made by the same artist in 1917.
1t was rendered to Westminster Alb

HE FIXED THE PIANO.

The Carpenter Was Cheaper Than
the Expcrt and Did it Thorough
ly.
A Utica family changed their resi-
dence from one street to another a few
days since. Among the household ef-
fects was a handsome square piano
the cover of which had in process OF
transportation been slightly cracked.
When the tuner came he noticed the
cracked cover, and told the lady of the
house that he knew Of man who
could repair it so that it would not be
noticed. There was a carpenter work
ing about the house, and as the cost
Of moving had been considerable, the
lady decided to have the carpenter do
the work, and informed the tuner that
he need not send his expensive expert.
Calling the carpenter she showed him
the damaged cover and informed him
that he could easily fix it with glue.
The carpenter set about his task, and
the lady paid no further attention to
him.
A day or two ago she had company,
and was requested to play upon the
piano. Acquiescing, she went to the
instrument and attempted to lift the
lid. 1t would not bulge. Thinking
that it was locked, she spent ten min
utes looking for the key. Having found
it. she learned that her surmise was
incorrect Failing after repeated and
strenuous efforts, to lift the lid, she
was compelled to forgo the pleasure
of entertaining her guests in this way.
When her husband came home he ex-
ercised his muscle, but to more avail.
After three or four trials he began an
examination, and found that the car
penter had labored under the mistak-
en- notion that the lid ought not to
rise, and had, accordingly, placed 4
thick coating Of glue between it and
that part of the piano upon which it
touched. To make the job undcniably
complete he further secured it by driv-
ing tenpenny nail through it.-Utica

NEVADA'S MUSICAL MOUNTAIN.

Sweet Sounds, Like the Thinking OF
Bells Made by Some Mysterious
Agency.
In til old Truckee mining district,
down on the Truckee river, near Pyra-
mid Lake, is situated Nevada's musl-
ca mountain. This mountain was
first discovered by the white settlers
in 1868, at which time there was some
excitement in regard to mines found in
its neighborhood. The discoveries
were a party Of prospectors from the
Comstock.
They had pitched their tent at the
foot Of the mountain, and for q few
evenings thought themselves bewitch-
ed. Each evening, little after dark,
when the air was calm and all was
quiet, a mysterious concert began.
Out from the face of the big mountain
were waited soft strains that seemed
to cause the whole atmosphere to quiv-
er as they floated over the camp. The
music then appeared to pass over I'M
til it was far, far away, and almost
lost In the distance, when, beginning
with atinkling as of many little silver
bells, there would be fresh gush Of
sweet notes from the mountain.
During the daylight hours little Of
the mysterious music was heard, and
it was soon settled that it was caused
by the wind. A spring near which the
explorers had pitched their tent afford
ed the only good camping grounds in
the neighborhood, and as each new
party of prospectors arrived at the spot
the wonder grew.
Some Pluto Indians who came along
and camped at the spring were found
to be acquainted with the peculiar mu-
steal character Of the mountain. They
called it the singing mountain"
Some .of the men collected in the
camp became more interested in the
mountain than in prospecting, and
gave most of their time to an investi-
CATION of the mystery of the musical
sounds heard to proceed from it. They
found that the whole surface Of the
mountain was covered with thin fakes
of hard crystalline rock. There were
great beds Of these fakes. The investi-
gators concluded that the musical
sounds heard proceeded from this loose
material, huge drifts of which seemed
to be gradually working their way
down the steep face of the mountain.
At all events the strains heard at the
foot of the mountain in the evenings
stiffness seemed to be produced by the
uniting and blending of the myriads
of bell-like tinklings proceeded from
the immense beds Of slaty debris creep
ing glacier-like down the slope.
This solution of the mystery Of the
musical mountain is the only one
worthy of notice. AS no mines Of val
ue were found the district was soon
deserted and has since seldom been
visited. Therefore few except the old
time prospectors knew much about the
singing mountain. Virginia Enter
