A DEATH BED CONFESSION /.

They needed only the headlines to

the paper fiuttered to the floor and
Mrs. Norton lay unconscious in her
daughters arms.
"My heavens! she hain't dead, is
she?' cried Miss Cover in alright as
she helped Bessie to lay the uncon-
scious form upon the couch.
20, no! God have mercy upon US.

"Run fer the doctor; 'taint no CON-
mon faintin' tit," urged Miss Cover,
working over the still insensible
woman.
BESSIE ran for their physician, who
fortunately happened to be just
down the street with his horse and
carriage. When they reached the
cottage his professional services were
not required, for Mrs. Norton was up
and almost ready to go out; she was
just tying her bonnet strings, under
very flushed face with trembling
fingers.

TWO CoURTHOUsEs BURNED.
One in Tennessee and the Other II

One in Tennessee and the Other in
Alabama. Suspicious Circumstances.
The substantial brick courthouse at Lex
ington, Henderson county, Tenn, was totally
destroyed by fire Wednesday morning, to-
gether with the greater part of all the cor:t
records, papers, etc., Of the Lexington cor
poration. Not scrap Was saved from The
trustees and circuit clerks offices. Trustee
Essary had between 81, 500 and 80, 900 worth
OF warrants in his Office for which there is
nothing to show. Judge R. H. Thorn, justice
OF the peace, attorney-at-law and United
States commissioner, lost everything, dockets
with thousands of dollars in judgments on
them. While there is no positive proof of
the origin of the fire, there is something We y
significant in the fact that the quarterly
court on Monday last appointed committee
to investigate some forged county warrants
and the committee began its work Tuesday.
The loss is very heavy, with no insurance on
anything burned.
Thursday midnight fire was discovered in
the rear offices Of the Center, Ala. court
house and the enEre building was soon in
flames. Keresenr ~ been poured on the
walls and floor .t.r ustasng could check the
fire. The books and r:!-rds Of the Chancery
Court, sheriff and tax collector are lost. A
heavy rain saved the ma part OF the town.
Loss about $50, 900 with insurance on build
ing of ST, 900.

hustody Of the fund from so misapply-
Inc it, t must confess { am utterly un-
hble to conceive.
sI cannot; therefore; co1cur il the
conclusion reached by the majority Of
The court that the complaint should be
dismissed for want of jurisdiction. On
ihe contrary, I am satisfied that this
rIourt has Jurisdiction snd is bound to
decide the real question in the case,
liz: the question as to the ccnstitu-
;'ionality Of the registration law. Upon
that question I hare hereinbefere set
forth the reason for my conclusion, to
which still adhere that the said law
Is clearly unconstitutional:
' .I am therefore Of the opinion that
the PRAYER of the complaint insofar as
it seeks to enjoin the Comptroller Gen
eraI from dra wing any warrant on the
State treasurer for the pay OF any sup
ervisor of registration and to enioin
The State treasurer from paying any
such warrant, should be granted.
A leading attorney, who read the
Chief Justices opinion all the way
through; thus summarizes it:
s'The Chief Justice announces the
conclusion that he arrives at ION the
merits of the controversy, namely, the
constitutiopality of the registration
laws. He says in substance that these
enactments are in violation of suIdry
provisions of the State constitution, all
OF which be entimerates. He holds
that the many provisions and fedtlire-
thents set forth in the registration laws
as PREREQUISITES to the right Of ballot
are batdensone aid uneysii, and could
not have been intended to merely reg;
ulste the right of suffrage, but, upon
the contrary, the effect Of the provis-
ions of the law is to abridge and i'm
pede the citizen in registering and vot-
ing. he says that all registration laws,
to be constitutional, must have for
their purpose the regulation Of this
suffrage, and theft province should bs
to facilitate and not to discourage
registration:
RtHe holds that the closing of ths
books on the first of July, and allow
ing no provision for registration, ex.
cept for minors, between July LIST and
election day, is also unconstitutional;
also, that the scheme of the act, which
is to have but one general original reg:
istratiou, is contrary to the section Of
the constitution, which reduitss the
Registration from time to time OF all
electors in the State. He also holds
that the certificate feature OF the act ID
effect requires double registration
namely, that the voter must both be
registered on the books and also have
certificate of registr ation, and pre-
sent it to the polls, and that such pre-
vision is in eontravention to- the State
constitution. BE. points ont various
other sections of the act thst afe coh:
stitutionally obnoxious. And he says
that there are so many provisions OF
the registration law that are unconstl'
tutional, and that they are so inter.
woven with the provisions tnat are not
otherwise void, that the whole sct mus,
be declared unconstitutic

SAD SCENES AT DAYTON.
Burial OF sixteen Victims of the Coal

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 22.-The
saddest scenes ever Witnessed in this State
were enacted at the little mining city OF
Dayton to-day. In sixteen households the
cries Of despairing widows and helpless
orphan children. the heart-broken grief of
mothers, relatives and friends disturbed the
peaceful quiet of the Sabbath as the sixteen
mangled corpses, victims OF Fridays mine
disaster. of husbands, fathers, brothers and
kinsmen were carried to their final resting
place in the little cemetery adjoining the
city. Brief religious ceremonies were he'd
at each of the stricken homes of the un-
fortunate men, and at 2 o'clock the last
body was laid to rest
The work of rescuing the six men whose
bodies are still buried beneath the debris
of the cavern of slate and earth was
stopped last night by the accumulation Of
gas in the entry where they lie. A large
new fan recently purchased by the company
was put to work to-day, but did not work
satisfactorily SO the rescuers were unable
to get into the mine. At 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon the fans began their work again,
ard air at the rate OF four hundred cubic
feet per minute has been forced in since that
time. 1t is expected the rescuers will be
able to resume work tonight. The COM
pany has decided that hereafter open lamps
will not be allowed in the mines, and all
blasts Will be made by fire boss who will
be assigned to the men. who will work in

FORCED TO RETREAT
SPANISH ACCOUNTS OF ENGAGE
MENTs WITH INSURGENTS.
Cubans Reported to Have Been ROut-
ed in Several Encounters with
Government Troops.

HAVANA, Dec. 22.-Offical advices from
Colon Of the engagements with the insur-
gents which were reported yesterday as
taking place near there, SO far as received
here, convey the impression that they were
not Of Importance and that the insurgents
got the worst of them. General Navarro
who was reported as leaving Colon for the
relief of the Spanish forces, encountered the
insurgents at the plantation Espana, where
his coming served to rescue the detachment
Of Antilla. He followed the insurgents on
their retreat and overlook them at the
plantation Alava, the cane fields Of which
were burning. Here a fierce fight oc-
Cured and the insurgents were dispersed
with heavy loss. The number of soldiers
killed was seventeen. General Navarro
again went in pursuit and at Banaguiz the
insurgents attacked him with great i'm
petuousity. The troops made a brave de-
Tense. General Prat made a forced march
to cut off the retreat OF. the insurgents.
The Dioeremen battalion. under General
and a force of four thousand insurgents.
The fight occurred near the river Colemna
and lasted for two hours. The position con-
trolled by the insurgents was attacked
eight times. the insurgents fighting with
the machete. The attack of the troops was
made nhols,n with .v;ls the bayonet the spaniards
This combined with the artillery fire, which
swept the insurgents position, proved ef-
fect.ve and the insurgents fed before the
advance of the troops. The insurgents left
twenty-five killed and prisoners on the
field and seventy wounded.
The official reports from the front say
that the forces now invading Matanzas num-
ber nine thousand and that they have car
ried away many of their dead and wounded
The loss of the troops is stated to be in
significant. The cane fields at Aguadita are
burning. Several engagements are reported
to have occurred to-day, but none OF them
are regarded as of importance here so far
as any admissions are made.
The bandit insurgent leader, NJ. Carbiel,
has been killed.
Captain General Campos is at Jovellanos,
