am unable to determine whether
the shot was fred with suicidal intent,
or as result of accident while care,
.lessly handling loaded pistol"
The unfortunate young lady was
the youngest daughter of Mr.. Jas. d.
Russell, vice president of Planters
Bank, and one of Hopkinsville's most
prominent citizens, who came here
from GAINESVILLE seventeen years
ago. Miss Cammie was born in this
city Oct. IL, 1879, and was just Is
years and two days old. She was
the youngest of family of four
children and was of bright, happy
disposition, with pleasant smile and
jolly word for all her friends, and
universal favorite wherever known.
Der sister, Miss Bessie, is at school in
Staunton, Va, and cannot reach home
until to-day. Miss Cammie was a
pupil in the High School department
of the public school, her father being
president of the school board, and
she would have graduated next June.
Surrounded by the luxuries and
comforts of a happy home, with
friends and admirers without number,
kind and indulgent parents, loving
brothers and sister, with nothing but
brightness in her future, it seems in
credible that she could have taken
her own life.
Nothing that has occurred in the
city for years has so shocked the
public and caused such universal
sorrow. The family is one of the
most prominent in the city, the affair
happened in the most fashionable
residence portion of the city, and in
such a shocking manner that it
spread like wildfre over the entire
town and delayed the services at the
tabernacle, while the excited people
stood in groups on the streets and
discussed the details.
At this writing it is not settled
when the interment will take place,
but it will be sometime to day, if her
sister arrives on the 9:52 train. The
heartfelt sympathies of the whole
community go out in coincidence and
sorrow to the bereaved family in
their great trouble.
LATER. 1t has been decided to
have the funeral at the Ninth Street
Presbyterian Church at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon

YEsTERDAY MORNINGS FIRE.
Carleton's Printing Office, Pierce's Jot
 Office and a Gap Factory Damaged.

Carleton's Printing Office, Pierce's Job
 Office and n Cap Factory Damaged.
 Yesterday morning at about 5:30 a fire broke out in the job printing office of R. G. Carleton on the third floor of the building at 391-395 State street It was discovered by a man who was walking down Union street. He at first thought that fire was being started in the of- fee, but going to the Western Union office it was found to be genuine fire and still alarm was sent in to steamer 2. The fire had gained a sufficient headway to send in an alarm and the engines were soon on the scene. Lines of hose were put into the building, but the streams were not put on as the chemical engine was found to be suffi- cient to cope with the flames.
 The place was filled with a dense smoke, but the firemen succeeded in putting the fire out without the use of water, thus saving the stock in the stores and offices below.
 The fire originated In a bag of waste paper, which was leaning up against the chimney. It is believed that the paper became so heated as to start a fire. The fire reached up to the top story and damaged cylinder job press, which stood in the corner where the flames did most of their work. Some of the machinery was damaged by water The water ran down into Pierce's job office on the next floor, doing some danl- age there. MT. Carleton's loss is sev- eral hundred dollars. A room under meath where cloth caps are made was drenched with water and the stock was accordingly damaged. The fire men smashed in the door of the cap factory on arriving, but found that the fire was on the story overhead Some of the firemen remarked that had the fire had ten minutes more start it would have been a very serious one.

Dy HIS Attorneys of No Avail.
 The trial of Rev. Rufus T. Cooper, former pastor of Epworth M. E. church, this city, for alleged indecent assault, was to have taken place in the city court yesterday morning, but owing to the absence of Judge Cable the trial was postponed until Friday.
 Several ministers who were present constituted the ecclesiastical committee of the New York East conference. They were as follows:
 Rev. w. A. Richards of Hartford, Rev. Ebert Eldridge of Waterbury, Rev. H. E. Wing of Ansonia, Rev. w. H. Barton of Derby, Rev. B. F. Kldder of Shelton, Rev. N. G. Cheney of East Pearl street church, this city. Rev. M. W. Prince of Trinity M. E. church, Rev. c. P. Mas den of First church and c. B. Ford of Howard avenue M. E. church. Others in court were Rev. A. s. Kavanaugh of South Norwalk, A. J. Smith of East Nor walk, Rev. MT McNicholl of Westville, Rev. F. A. Scofield of Grace M. E. church and Presiding Elder Crandall J. North.
 Judge Studley was on the bench in the city court yesterday and when the case came up MT. Matthewman stated that he would ask to have the matter put over until Friday, as Judge Cable was in Springfield.
 Attorney Kleiner objected, stating that one of his witnesses had postponed a trip to Europe until to-day, and that if the case was not tried yesterday it could not be tried for six weeks. This witness was Presiding Elder Crandall J. North.
 Ex-Judge Pickett also urged the im- mediate trial of the case.
 Judge Studley stated that 1t seemed to him like a matter that ought to be disposed of as quickly as possible He advised the defense to waive examina- tion and take the case up to the super for court immediately. "We do not wish to do that" stated MT. Kleiner, flor in doing so we should injure our civil rights in the mat ter.'
 Judge Studley then stated that he would let the case go over until Fri day
 City Attorney Matthewman left the court room and the ecclesiastical com mittee. with the presiding elder and others present, adjourned to the ante room, where, after a consultation with MT. Cooper and his counsel, they came out and stated that if the case went over until Friday they should have tc ask for a further continuance until Sep tember 10. Their appeal to the court was of no avail, however, as Judge Stud ley refused to alter the decision contin. uing the case.
 The case will come up Friday.
