and gave the alarm, and the fire was
soon extinguished.

and had been acting strangely of late.
At o'clock this morning he arose, and
piling up lot of crates and baskets in
the cellar of the small frame dwelling
set them on fire. When the flames had
gained a little headway, and it was
evident that they would consume the
house and also hide all traces of the
prospective murder and suicide, Will
iams set In to finish the work. He was
successful so far as his own life was
concerned, but the wife rallied, despite
the fearful blow from the butt end of
an axe, and saved the house from de-

the Hahnemann hospital, where it was
found that she had a compound frac-
ture of the skull The physicians have
no hopes for her recovery.

Brombley KY, opposite the west end
of this city, is being fenced with barbed
wire by the South Covington and Gin

using its cars. and to discourage out
siders from visiting the town on Sun
days. The three hundred people Of

propose to haul the tough element of
Cincinnati, Covington and Newport on
Sundays, even If paid for it. An out
break is threatened.

You may gather together all the fabrics

came from q loom, and look them over,
taking the full merit of each into ac-
count, and after all is said and done, you'll
be bound to admit that there is not one In

unmatchable elegance.
Silks are no longer luxury. A dozen

proof for this assertion lies in the Econ
