The bright light observed south
west of town Thursday evening Of
last week was caused by fire burn
ing over the field of Mrs. Ann
Morris. Forest fires have done a
great deal of damage everywhere,
but the recent rain has saved a great
deal of fencing in this county. In
theneighborhood of Paris andother
townsin West Tennessee the people
have not been so fortunate. In
many instances houses have been
destroyed, but no lives are known
to have been lost.

Recording Color.

An ingenious instrument has been
brought into notice, called the 'tinto-
meter" by which a permanent record
of any colored substance may be Sc
cured by means of standard glasses OF
various degrees of color. This instru-
ment has proved to be of immense
value in gaugipg the colors of hours'
oils and similar substances, and now its
use has been extended to chemical
work By its use the color of a solution
of unknown strength can be estimated,
and the strength can at once be deter
mined by means of tables provided for
the purpose. This method can also be
employed for estimating the amount OF
lead in a solution, which, if free from
interfering substances, gives definite
color with sulphuretted hydrogen. In
fact, wherever colorimetric determine
tions are desired, the tintometer may
be looked upon as the best instrument
for obtaining accurate results.-St

ANTl-sREcKINRIDeE MEETING.

The Lexington Opera House Crowded with
Men and Women Opposed to His Renomi-
nation.
LEXINGTON, KY, May 15.-The best
people of Lexington and Fayette coun-
ties, including several hundred ladies,
turned out yesterday to the anti-Breck-
inridge meeting at the opera house.
There were no hoodlums present and
the meeting, from a standpoint
of morality, was tremendous
success. The opera house was filled
and 500 people were turned away.
Prof. J. w. McGarvey, an eminent min
lister of the Christian church, was the
first speaker, and he showed Col. Brock
inridge up in no favorable light. He
held that it would be a disgrace to the
district, to the state and to the country
to return such man to congress, and
closed his speech by strong appeal to
the young men to vote against him.
The other speaker was Judge NJ. j.
Durham, who denied Col. Breckenridge
was the only man in the district who
could represent the district in congress.
The speeches were both well received
and made a good impression.
Resolutions were adopted denounc-
ing Breckinridge's morals and calling
on the good people of the district to
rise up in their might and vote against
the silver-tongued persuader. But
when Harry c. Clay got up and offered
a resolution not only denouncing
Breckinridge's morals, but asking
that Senator J. C. S. Blackburn
be asked to obtain leave of absence
from the senate, and that he come
home and from the rostrum speak
against Breckenridge, the audience
went wild. The cheering was deafen-
ing, and it was plain to any observer
that the Breckenridge boom, started by
the silver-tongued orator himself lit
tie more than a week ago, was badly
strained if not broken.

George Rose Hanged by a Mob at Cotton.
wood Falls for the Murder of Deputy
Postmaster Kuhl.
STRONG CITY, Kan, May 14.-On fri-
day evening at $50, Karl Kuhl assist
ant postmaster at Cottonwood FANS
twenty-five miles west of Emporia,
was shot and instantly killed while at
work in the office, by printer named
George Rose. An alarm was instantly
given, and in a few minutes several
hundred men were in pursuit OF the
murderer. The river banks were
secured and a thorough search made In
all directions, but without effect until
about IL o'clock the same night, when
1t was found that Rose had gone to the
sheriff and given himself mp.
A large crowd immediately surround
ed the Jail and demanded his surren-
der, and were with great difficulty, ana
the persuasion of shotguns in the hands
of deputies, induced to forego their in
tention of then and there lynching
him. After this things quieted down
somewhat, but all during Saturday
forenoon much excitement was mani
fest. In the afternoon, however, 1t
seemed to have blown over, and 1t was
generally supposed all thought OF
lynching had been given up, until
about IL o'clock at night, when Sheriff
Hodge Murdoch was called to the door
by a quiet rap, which he answered,
only to find himself suddenly seized
and pulled outside his door.
Several pistols were presented at his
head by masked men and he was con-
Quoted to the door of the cell, which
he was ordered to unlock. This, after
protesting, he was forced to do, the
lynchers assuring him that they would
have their man if they had to tear the
courthouse and jail down Every APP
proach to the courthouse had been care
fully guarded with armed men All
was done in a very quiet and orderly
manner, every man seeming to know
Just what he was to do. After secur-
ing the prisoner the masked men, about
fifty in number, surrounded him and
proceeded east to a railroad bridge
Upon reaching the bridge Rose was
hanged and the lynching party quietly
dispersed, leaving the body suspended
from the bridge.

How to Test a Diamond.

One of the easiest and most trust
worthy modes of determining whether
a supposed diamond is genuine or false
is as follows: Pierce a hole in card
with needle or pin and then look at
it, using the stone as a lens. If the
supposed diamond is genuine you will
see but one hole; if false two will APP
pear. With an imitation stone you
may also see the lines on the skin of
your finger; with the true gem you
cannot Chicago Times.

the prisoners to the military au-

keeping pending the hearing of the
cases against them. Marshal Nicely re-
ceived his orders from Attorney-Gen-

was not thought advisable to remove
the men until last night The pris-
oners had broken camp and were
on the train before the crowd of
people who were hanging around
knew what was going on. Half a
dozen of the men objected to making
the trip, but Gen. Sanders told them it
was all right, and they boarded the
train without further discussion. Mar
shall Nicely hoped to reach Fort Leav-
enworth before midnight. The OBJ
feet of making the transfer was to
afford the marshal better facilities for
taking care of the men.
