SOME FACTS AND QUERIES.

"The North Carolina Railroad is the most valua
bic railroad property in the Southern States, not
in the United States" Col Henderson, Chief
Counsel of the Southern Railway.
"No good reason has been given why this road
should rent for S1,1O6 per mile while the At
lanta and Charlotte Airline rents for SI $50
per mile 1t does not look well that al other bid
ders should be shut out and the State should tie
itself up in contract which might be greatly bet
tered five years from now"--Charlotte Observer,
on the morning the lease was made.
Now, if the North Carolina road sis the most
valuable railroad property in the Southern States,
if not in the United States, why should rent for
more than $500 mile less than another
road leased by the Southern Railroad part of
the route from Washington to Atlanta
IF the North Carolina road sis the most valuable
road" why should the State make free gift to the
Southern Railway of at least $I2o,ooo year for
ninety nine years, instead of putting that
nua11y in the State Treasury?

MURDERED AND THEN CREMATED.
FIVE PEOPLE MEET A HORRIBLE DEATH IN
LITTLE TENNESSEE SETTLEMENT.


Nashville. Tenn. March 2i-Partculars OF what
appears to have been a horrible murder were re-
ceved here from Paradise Ridge early this morning
Jacob Ade. one of the Oldest and best-known farm
eTs of the Ridge settlement, his wife. his daughter
and son ard little daughter of Henry Moirer were
IL Is thought. murdered and their bodies cremated
in Ados house which burned TO the ground.
Inc theory OF murder is strengthened by the fact
that all the bodies were found in the same room
but scattered around. 1t was at first thought that
the old man was killed for his money. as he was
known to he well-to-do and always kept supply
of money on hand. This cannot be positively stated
however. as the ashes of wha; once a big roll
OF money. which had been deposited In an oyster
can In closet. have been discovered in the ruins OF
the house.
The dead are Jacob Ade Mrs. ]. Ade Lizzie Ade
aged twenty Henry Ade. aged thirteen and Rose
Moirer aged ten. Jacob Ade lived fifteen miles
from this city, the Cheatham County line The
house is half mile from what is known as the old
Clarksville turnpike
The first Indication of the tragedy discovered
at 10 O'CLOCK last night by Justice Simpson. who
lives half a mile from the Ade place, ana he az
once RODE over the and found the house

TO work at once TO rescue the bodies. and sue

AIDE and Rose Moirer. After this simpson rode
around and Informed number OF the ncighbors
ana in short time crowd had collected about
the ruins. Henry AIDE. the thirteen year-old OF
Mr. Ade. was missing. but a search Of the ruins OF
the house ibis morning disclosed his body The
bodies of Mr. and Mrs. AIDE. Miss Lizzie Ade end
Henry Ade were burned TO crisp. The body OF
Rose Moirer was not burned badly the
others.

find a motive for the crime. as Mr.. Ado was a
popular man and well liked by all his neishbors:
The only .fnmity which existed between HIM and
any OF the people living in that section resulted
from n charse he made against a man who WAS
arrested in Cheatham County a few days ago.
cUsed or stealing hogs from Ado. This man was
uled befo.e 4 magistrate In Cheatham County
and bound over to the Circuit Court. There -
however. no evidence against him when would in
