NECK BROKEN.
Brutal Murder of a Lewis Coun
ty Woman.
Husband and Mother Arrested
Charged With the Crime.

Vanceburg, KY, April 3.-Th'
people in this county are wrought
up to an intense pitch over a bru
tai murder committed Saturday
night. The body of Mrs. Mary
Cornes, wife of John Cornes, who il
was first thought had died of heart
disease and was buried Monday,
was to-day exhumed and an in
quest held by Magistrate Fisher,
Acting Coroner.
1t was discovered that the wo-
mans neck had been broken. Jno.
Cornes and his aged mother, Har-
riet Cornes, seventy-six years old,
were at once arrested and brought
here and lodged in Jail.
At the inquest, which took place
six miles west of here, on the farm
of John Monteith, other strong
evidences of murder were revealed.
There was a large bruise on the
side of the dead woman's neck,
from which blood had flowed
through the bedtick, which was
made of straw. About two feet
square of the bedticking had been
cut out and destroyed and the
straw burned. Fresh straw had
been put in and the bed patched.
Large spots of blood were found on
the floor in many places and an at
tempt to wash them away had
been made by some one.
1t was developed that no one but
the two accused, the deceased and
two small children were present on
the night of the murder. 1t was
further proved that COrnes and his
wife had frequent alterations and
lived unhapily, although he said he
had never struck her Cornes adj
mitted that they did quarrel. His
mother said they had never had
any trouble Of any kind.
1t was shown that the woman
was in good health Saturday after
noon and the husband and mother
told widely different stories as to
what was done when they discov-
ed that the woman was dead. The
inhuman husband could hardly be
persuaded to attend the funeral
Monday, and instead of going with
the corpse went across tie fields.
John Corns, although a poor
man, is related to some of the best
people in this county. His mother
unwlttingly said that before she
would tell anything on her son she
would drown herself in the Ohio
river. The excitement is high at
this point, and the people are be-
coming aroused over the preva-
lence Of crime and the laXity of
the offenders.

IT'S A PEACH,
This Story Of a Big Fish With
False Teeth.

The "boys, young ana olu, Wer
collected around the stove in the tav
ern one winter evening, when the tall
turned upon fishing in general, ant
catching bullheads in particular
"Say, Uncle Jesse, didn't you catch al
ALFRED big pout down in Massapoa!
a few years ago?" said Cy Smith
addressing one of the elders of th'
party.
"Wall, yes, did, fer a fact; thu
biggest pout L ever see, or any one
else, 1 guess" replied the veteran
"Haow much did it weigh ?" cried
several voices. oval, fact is l never
weighed him, but he was a whopper
an believe he was old enough to be
gran'ther f all the bullheads around
here. Mighty curtis thing abaoul
that pout, tew," said the old man,gaz-
ing at the upward curling smoke OF
his pipe, in reminiscent mood. "Tell
us about it," said Cy. The old man
hitched uneariy in his chair, knocked
the ashes from his pipe on the stove
hearth, and taking his jackknife and
plug of tobacco from his pocket, be-
gan to prepare fresh charge.
"Wall," said he, after a few mo-
ments of silence, Eyer see, durin' the
winter Ivory Daomn had ben cuttin'
ice on the pond for Joe Goodrich.
Naow, you know Ivory was a kim e
queer critter. allus studyin' over
mathematics or phrenology, or some
seech stuff; didn't know what he was
dom half the time. Wall, he was
cuttin' ice there all alone with cross
cut-saw-that was fore these ice
plows had been got up-and the first
thing he knew he had sawed off the
very cake he was standing on, and
down he went. by cracky,' he said
Il thought was gOner, but l cd

myself out, but the saw went to the

while; then they stopped bttin.'

big bunch % worms and flung her
over. In abaout tew minutes l felt
somethin' take hold an bear down

him. Wall, tell you we had a tas-
sic. but we hauled in the biggist pout

the oar fore we could keep him in the
boat. l thought there was somethin'
mighty curtis 'baout his mouth, bnt

In the body Of an adult person there are
about IS pounds Of blood.
The blood has as its most important ele-
ments, small round corpuscles, red and
white, in proportion of about 800 red to l
white one.
II the number Of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased
the blood Is impure, thin, lacking in the
nutrition necessary to sustain the health
and nerve strength of the body.
Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness,
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, or others of the long
train Of ills, according to the temperament
and disposition, attack the victim.
The only permanent remedy is found in
a reliable blood medicine like Hoods
sarsaparilla, which acts upon the red cor
puscles, enriching them and increasing
their number. 1t thus restores the vital
fluid to healthy condition, expeIs all i'm
purity, cures Nervousness, That Tired Feel
ing, Scrofula and all other diseases arising
from or promoted by low state OF the blood.

not by our own statements, but by what

A CAMP NEAR SAVANNAH.
THAT is What the Wayne County
Soldiers Want.

Soldiers Want.
Jesup, Ga, April 13.-The Wayne Light
Troop had a large and enthusiastic meet
ing on yesterday. and the question of the
encampment was discussed. The troop
is almost unanimous in desiring the camp
in or near Savannah, on account of the
supply of good water and the convent
ence TO the friends of the different troops
from the nearby counties, to pay a visit
to Savannah and at the same time visit
uhe camp. and If any members were
taken sick would be convenient to hos
pital good physicians, etc. The troop was
pleased with the idea of going to camp
with horses, and are tired of the cav
airy going to camp as infantry. Also the
troop indorses the idea Of marching to
camp, and thereby save the expense of
transportation Of the men and horses. 1t
is the desire of the Wayne troop that
Col. Gordon, If possible, have the camp
in or very near Savannah. There were
several new members added to the troop
and il is the intention Of the Wayne troop
TO be second to none in the regiment.
The farmers of this section are about
done planting, and are looking forward
TO a good crop year. The prospects of
fruit in Wayne county never were bright
er, and especially the peach crop.

contending that the verdict did not find
for return of this property. The supreme
court admits the verdict was irregular and
incomplete, but failing to see how the
plaintiffs could be injured because of such
Irregularities, the judgment of the lower
court is affirmed.
N. p. Nelson, respondent, VS. James
Donovan ct al, appellants, from Cascade.
In the suit in the lower court judgment
was rendered in favor OF the plaintiff
upon the pleadings. A bond was given by
the appellants to stay an execution, pend
ing a motion for new trial, and the
plaintiff sued upon the bond alleging
breach of its conditions. The case was
carried to the upper court and Justice ID o.
Witt. in a brief opinion, affirms the judg-
ment of the lower court.

The City of Butte, respondent, from Sill
yer Bow. This Is an appeal from the
order of the district court granting a mo-
tion to open n default. Complaint was
filed July 3, 1882. The case was pending
until March, 1891, when default against
the city was entered. The action was in
the nature of ejectment. In August, 1892,
the defendant made a motion to set aside
the default and judgment on the ground
OF eAcusaDie neglect. luo ueiauit was
opened and the plaintiff appealed. Justice
Dewitt, on passing on the matter, in part
says: ave are of the opinion that the
facts set up do not show any excusable
neglect. Seven years elapsed without the
defendant making an attempt to file an
answer. Nothing whatever appears to
show why the city did not attempt to ask
leave to file an answer. 1t is simply
shown that the gentleman who was the
city attorney of Butte when the applica-
ton to set aside the judgment and de-
fault was made, had an impression from
some source that the matter was disposed
of. We are of the opinion that the city
was utterly and absolutely without ex'
cuse. The order setting aside the default
is reversed and the case is remanded with
directions that the judgment against the
city of Butte be affirmed"
