WAS IT CRIME OR ACCIDENT,
The Burning to Death Of . Family Of Five
in Tennessee.

Nashville, March 25.-Tuesday night
about 10 o'clock, at Paradise Ridge in
this county. where there is quite a set
tlement Of thrifty Germans, the house
OF Jacob Ade was discovered to be on
fire and was in ruins before help could
reach the place. In the ruins were
found the almost entirely consumed
bodies Of Jacob Ade. Mrs. Jacob Ade.
Lizzie Ade (aged 2O). Henry Ade (aged
1S. and Rosa Moirer (aged 10). It is
uncertain whether the family were ac-
cidentally burned to death or murdered.
The murder theory has the most friends.
1t Is based by some on robbery, because
Ade was known to have had several
hundred dollars in the house. But IL
robbery was the motive the robbers
failed. for in the ruins was found a
tin can containing the remains of a
large roll OF bills. There is no evidence
to show that Ade had any enemies In
the neighborhood. though last Satur.
day he prosecuted a man for stealing
hogs and had him bound over to the
criminal court. There Is, however. no
evidence against this man.
