dow. Then, she says, he seized Johnny
by the collar and shook him until the
boy cried. At that, he made fun Of the
little fellow and said that he ought to be
put to work. Mrs. Moore said the boy
was too young to work Then Moore
said the boy was too young to live too,
and started into the kitchen. He soon
came out carrying long butcher knife.
When the boy saw his father, he ran
screaming into the street. Moore did
not attempt to follow his son, but turned
his attention to his wife. He chided her
again for not making the boy work, and
when she answered him, he threw the
knife at her. The knife struck the iron
ing board beside her. While it was still
quivering, he picked up a Ratchet and
started after her. She ran with all her
might for the door, pursued by her hus-
band. When she reached the street, n
number of men who had been standing
at DOnahue's saloon ran 10 her assistance.
They disarmed Moore, who swore at and
threatened to kill them. Mrs. Moore
and her son went into neighbours house.
She says she is afraid of her life and
believes her husband il crazy.

While a colOred man named Orange
Brown was hunting cows near Paducah,
KY, he stopped to rest ut an old hollow
stump. The stump was loose from decay,
and he began to listlessly pull 1t to pieces
As he did this, to his surprise, an iron
teakettle became exposed. lie proceeded
to investigate, aud what he found was n
great surprise. The lid had become
fastened to the kettle by rust and was
removed with difficulty, when, looking
into the kettle, Brown discovered bright
shining gold coins; bright in places, but
dirty and stained by the rust of the ket-
tie in others. He removed the coins at
once and found himself in possession of
three 500 gold pieces fifteen $40 gold
pieces and nine 50 coins, amounting in
all To $255. There was also in the kettle.
he said, what appeared to have been II
very large roll of paper money, probably
greenbacks, but being exposed to the air
fell to pieces, being utterly worthless and
not capable of being unrolled. He SIM
ply caught the figures of $50 rs the wad
fell to pieces This is undoubtedly
money that was hidden during the war
by somebody who never lived to return

ALynch,nr I'm sight,

A bold case of incendiarism and at
tempted murder occurred in Blount
county, ten miles from Knoxville, Tenn,
last week. A man named 4. j. Shoe
maker was arrested and lodged in Jail at
Maryville charged with the crime. AZ
ter firing two large stock barns, valued
at $4,000, he entered the residence of
James Anderson, and by the light of
matches fired two shots at young Ander-
son while he slept. Both shots took eff
feet, but are not serious. All the stock
in the barns, consisting Of several head
of horses, mules and cattle, was burned.
When the story of the incendiarism and
attempted murder became known, the
farmers of the surrounding country were
indignant and gathered posse of one
hundred strong, armed to the teeth. In
the posse were two Justices of the peace,
who deputized the entire mob as depu-
ties To hunt the wouldbe assassin. When
the mob had gone into the mountains
Shoemaker, learning he had not killed
young Anderson, went back to the house
to make another attempt at murder, and
was arrested The indignant farmers
swear they will lynch him. Shoemaker
feigns insanity now, but his actions were
through spite caused by being discharged
from the farm short time ago.

in few hours after the death of his son.
The boy had been i'll for some days past,
but was much better on the last evening
of his life. The family, consisting of the
woman, the dead boy and hired boy
named Harvey, retired early, and about
midnight Mrs. Gullett called the hired
boy and told him to 60 10 n neighbor's,
about a mile distant, and tell them that
the boy was dead. When the neighbor
got there he found that il was true, and
on examining the body found finger
prints on his neck. Foul play was i'm.
mediately suspected, and some inquiries
the woman made the day before about
the effect Of certain poisons and her we'll
known hatred of the boy cast suspicion
upon her. The coroner was called in, q
Jury summoned Immediately, which rem
dered verdict of death by strangulation

The woman is now behind the bars Of the
county Jail awaiting for the law to deal

wanted aid. He told Mrs Deering he
and his father had started in n shanty
boat from Bay City, Ill.,, on their way TO

the woman in the morning and that the
two were married that night. When they

THE ELECTRIC RA1LwAY.-Work on
the Driving Park extension of the cleo
trio railway is being pushed rapidly
in order, if possible, to have it fin
ished by Wednesday next. Already
cars run over two-thirds of the exten,
sion, and with the fine weather now
prevailing it is thought by the day
named the gong of the cars will be
heard at the Driving Park. Already
the rails have been strung along the en-
tire route, and cars would doubtless
have been running to the park before
this had it not been for delay in the
receipt of ties. As soon as the Driving
Park extension shall have been made
work will be commenced on King
street from Columbus to Payne. The
poles will be erected and the wires
strung first, and the street will not be
dug up until everything else shall have
been arranged, in order to impede traf-
fic as little as possible.
