JOSE CONGOSrO,
Consul for Spain.
July q. 1896"
This letter was delivered to Captain
Murphy by an attache OF tho spanish
consulate. who said that he had been sent
by Dr. Congosto.
Captain Murphy in speaking OF the
letter said: "Only In the most kindly
spirit do / say that II is an attempt TO
bride me. / wish TO assure him that l
am not In the business OF surrendeTing
secrets which I don't possess. and say
frankly that II Il we're ten times $4,000
Il could not induce mo TO turn informer.
i do not feel insulted by the action OF
the Spanish Consul, but do believe that
n man serving IN his honorable capacity
ought to have a higher appreciation OF
the patriotism Of an American citizen
than 10 attempt TO purchase him for
cash. Evidently no Is only following out
the instructions OF his government and
] am trying to carry out the orders OF
my employers"
Captain Murphy handed the commune
cation to Captain w. w. Ker, counsel
for the ]. d. Hart Company. who Will
forward IL with a protest to Secretary or
State Olney. Captain Ker, IN speaking
of the Offer said: ut is an infamous
act, and an insult to American citizen
ship 1t Is a usurpation Of authority on
the Consul's part to declare that those
who violate the neutrality laws OF the
United States will receive immunity II
they surrender certain information, even
though they be not participants in the
expedition. That Is a dangerous declara-
ton for O man 20 make just now. Ten
thousand dollars IS big inducement for
some person TO steal secretly into yes
sci. for instance, lying in a port. and
bound for Cuba, and place munitions OF
war, such as dynamite, on board. This
Individual could inform the Spanish Gov
eminent, and the vessel would be seized
the moment she entered within the Cuban

HenrY Allen McLemore.

1t was the deep, earnest and heart
felt sorrow and regret over the death
of Mr.. Henry A. McLemOre (Which
sad event we noted in our last issue)
that brought together, at the funeral
services at the First Presbyterian
Church last Friday afternoon at 4
O'Clock, the vast assembly of the
high and the low, the rich and the
poor, the old and the young, the
white and Hack, to evidence their
regret for the loss of one so univers-
ally missed, and to mingle in condo
lence with those that had been so
sadly bereaved. The services were
conducted by Rev. f. B. Webb, pas
tor of the deceased, and Rev. Marion
Kennedy, of Pulaski, who ten short
years ago had officiated at his happy
marriage to Miss Annie Baird. The
discourse of both ministers was a
simple tribute to the life, charac-
ter and good deeds Of Mr.. Nc
Lemore. This was done in fitting,
fervent manner, and the words of
the speakers were endorsed by every
listener who had known the deceased
through long life of usefulness
the imposing procession that fol-
lowed the body to Rose Hill Gene
terry being in itself an eloquent ex-
preston of the estimation in which
he was held by this community and
his friends and acquaintance over
the county.
The cycle of years will pass before
Mr.. McLemore's place will be filed
in the church, the social circle and
business life of this community, for
he was prominent in each. He was
widely known over the county and
State, and his extensive business
relations as manager of the McLe-
more Milling Company have met a
kind indulgence from his warm,
generous, and unselfish nature His
broad liberality reached the needy
and sent relief to many a home of
poverty, and dispelled the shadows
that fell upon the hearthstone of the
unfortunate. His social life was
unselfish, warm, generous, and un-
pretentiOus, and his religious life
was practical, liberal and earnest.
The duties he discharged in tender
and quiet way, marked his conduct
in his other relations of life. He
was steadfast in his convictions and
aggressive for the right. With
dauntless courage and undated ac-
tivity he met the responsibilities of
life, and with that sublime faith
that brightens at the approach of
the inevitable hour, he calmly
awaited the final summons. His life
was living poem, vital with warm
emotions and kind acts. Such is a

Too Drunk TO Fight Fire.

Mrs. Lahore. of Lynn, Mass, aged
50 years, was burned to death in her
home Friday, and her daughter-in-law,
Annie Lahore, aged %, was SO ter
ribiy burned that she is lying at the
point of death at the hospital. After
the fire was put out the father and son
were found in closet connected with
the house, naked and almost unconsci-
GUS from intoxication. Both were con-
siderably burned, but not dangerously
SO. The police say that lamp was up
set during some sort of fracas and
that the inmates of the house were too
drunk to put out the fire. The build
ing was not badly damaged.
