There is an old adage in the navy

in this manner. According to the jack

over a ladder. whereupon all that falls
through goes to the officers and what
remains on the rungs goes to the sail
ors. Nevertheless. every man in Ad-

er's dispatch Is regarded at the war de-
partment as signifying that surrender
is about to occur. This confirms the
theory that Monday was not spent in

would take place under cover of night

GalIatin, No., Feb. 16.-tSpecial) Not for
years has Gallatin been so shaken as it is
now over the developments that have fol-
lowed the death of Gus Leftwich. editor of
the Gallatin Democrat, who died last Sun
day morning at his home here from ar
senical poisoning. The whole affair seems
to have had its origin in the unhappy FAM
lily conditions, and the dose of poison that
killed the popular editor was possibly ad-
ministered by his own child. but intended
for his second wife, whose relations with
his children were not pleasant.
The fact was brought out at the coro-
ner's inquest that. a few hours prior to
his death, he called his 14-year-oId daush-
ter. Maria, to his bedside, and said:
Maria. you have given me the poison"
The girl left the room crying, and did
not return until after her fathers death.
She testified to that before the coroner's
jury. but was not asked any direct ques-
lions.
After the girl left the room. the dying
man said to the physician, Doctor. 1 got
my dose this time"
Before he died, Editor Leftwich asked
that no investigation of his death be made,
and that is probably the reason the coro-
ner and prosecuting attorney failed to ask
any direct questions and left the case
clouded so that the jury felt warranted in

Mr.. Cleveland said a few words of SYM

greeted the old farmer with:
Il guess you won't have to move. I've
bought the farm and you are my tenant
now. n you'll remain here at my pleas

1t was this purchase which gave rise to
the recent report that Mr.. Cleveland had
