WAS MURDERED AND INcINERArED
An Entire Family Killed and the
House Set on Fire.

Nashville. Tenn. March 24-The resi-
dence Of Jacob AIDE, 10 miles from this
city, on Paradise ridge. burned last night.
The bodies of Jacob AIDE. Mrs. AIDE, Liz
zie AIDE. aged 20. their daughter, and
Rosa Morirer. aged 10. who was visiting.
were found In the ruins. Henry AIDE, aged
IL, was missing. AIDE was a Well-to-do
farmer. Searchers in the ruins later
found the body OF the missing boy burn
ed TO crisp. It Is the belief that murder
preceded the fire. The principal evidence
Is the fact that though the girls face was
only slightly burned. the back Of her head
was missing 1t Is thought she was
struck by some such instrument as an
ak. The heads OF two bodies can NOT be
found. Mr.. AIDE waS over 90 years old
and was considered rich by the truck
gardeners and small farmers among
whom he lived. There Is no clue to the
possible murderer. A roll Of money, par
TALLY burned, was found In an oyster
can in the ruins.

NEWS FROM IRELAND,

or thousand deeds let him learn

The Shannon swept onward, broad
and clear,
Between the Ieaguers and worn
.Nh!onc.
"Rrcak down th" bridge" Six war
riGrs rushed
Through the storm Of shot and The
storm of shell;
WITH late. but certain. victory flushed,
The grim Dutch gunncrs eyed them
we'll
They wrnnched at the panks mid Il
hail of fire:
They fell in death, their work half
done;
The bridge stood fast; and nigh and
Tho foe swarmed darkly. dcnscly on.
"Oh, who for Erin will strike il stroke?
Who hurl yon planI1s where the
waters roar"
Six warriors forth from their comrades
broke.
And flung them upon that bridge
once more
Again at the rocking ppnks they
daslled
And four dropped dead; and two re-
MANNED;
The huge beams groancd. and the arch
down crashed:
TWO slawart swimmers the margin
gained.
ST. Ruth in his stirrups stood up, and
cried.
II have seen no decd like that in
France"
They had luck, the dogs! Twas Il
merry rhance!
Oh. many Il year upon Shannon's side
They sang upon moor and they sang
upon heath
or the twain that breasted that raging
And the ten that shook bloody hands
