JAMES R. HOLCOMB
City Marshal of Horse Creek, Killed by
 Unknown Assassin.

James R. Holcomb the city Marshall of Horse Creek, and one Of the deputy sheriffs of Walker county, was shot and ai- most instantly killed Sunday afternoon by white man whom Holcomb had a short time ago attempted to arrest. The author lties know who he is but will not diyulge his name.
 The unfortunate marshal was standing on the railroad track at the time he was killed. and his assassin was concealed under the depot platform. Soon after the shot was fired, which turned out to be from a B Winchester rifle, white man was seen to dart from under the platform and make off in the rear of the depot. A young man who saw the. fleeing murderer identified him as the man in question whom Holcomb had attempted to arrest short time before.
 The dastardly murder has reused the citizens of Horse Creek with whom the deceased was very popular to a fever heat, and they are sparng no pains to catch the, william. Walter Moore, president of the Ivy Coal company, which operates the mines at Horse Creek. went out Sunday night, and. said he would spend all the money necessary to effect the murderer's arrest.
 The deceased was a splendid officer, and was liked by all law-abiding citizens. He leaves a family behind him.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

The fire department was kept busy yester- day afternoon answering alarms. The first alarm came in at 5:30 o'clock, and called the department to Sixteenth street and Ninth avenue, where a small frame house, occupied by a negro, was in a blaze. The building was almost destroyed when the department arrived, but the flames were quickly subdued and prevented from spreading to adjoining property. The loss amounted to several hundred dollars.
 At S:10 o'clock last night an alarm from box 21, corner of Morris avenue and Twen- ty-fourth street, called the department to the corner of First avenue and Twenty first street, where Potts saloon was on fire. Wuf. ts

sultan once declared to me that there would never be a solution of the eastern question until an American missionary was impaled and his wife and daughters were flung into the pasha's harem. He spoke more truly than he knew. Because within one month of such an outrage becoming known to the American people the warships which swept the Spanish fleets from the sea would have forced the Dardenelles and exacted repara- tion at the cannon's mouth from the assas- sin at Stamboul.
 And perhaps in the possibility of such a contingency happening any day lies the highest hope that humanity has for the extinction of the devastating despotism of the Turkish horde"

There IS no word more frequently in
the mot IS Of men than that OF con-
science. The word conscience properly
signifies that knowledge which a man
hath within himself. of his own
thought and actions, by comparing
them with the law of God, his mind
will either approve or condemn him,
according as he hath done good or evil;
therefore this knowledge or conscience
may properly be called both an accus-
er and judge. So that whenever our
conscience accuseth US, we are GER
tainly guilty; but We are not always
innocent when 1t doth not accuse us;
Tor very often through the hardness
OF orr hearts, or the fondness and ia
vor We bear ourselves, or through ig-
noranee or neglect, we do not suffer
our conscience to take any cognizance
OF several sins We commit.

symptoms were aggravated a hundred
fold. A consultation was called. The
physicians came out of 1t with faces
that tried to express assurance. But
they said that Miss Devine should be
taken at once to the hospital. They
had agreed that the symptoms Of her
malady were not those of malaria, but
Of tetanus-of lockJaw, the dreadful
plague that comes In all the legendary
tales of villages, at certain periods, to
kill those who walk barefooted In the
fields.
How dreadful the terror OF tetanus
in every one who has lived in small.
ancient villages knows. There are
hurried calls on shoemakers for boots
that have soles thick as boards, there
are raking of fields for rusty nails,
there are a thousand recommendations
to children to be careful. DR.. Gibier,
pupil OF Pasteur, says: Surely, a pin
may give lockjaw, and the prejudice
against rusty nails about tetanus is
justified. Perhaps we will find some
day that science can only prove the
reasonableness of instructive fears.
The pin that scratched Miss Devine
was probably picked from the ground
by her. The bacillI Of tetanus are In
the earth. They cluster around sharp
metallic things by virtue Of a law of
nature that is relentless and profound
and that we may not explain. DR..
Pasteur's experiments have proved
that. He has discovered the antisep-
tic against the poison Of tetanus In
the serum that has done so much good
everywhere. He takes that serum
from the blood Of horses" Surely"

mers. A blow from a hammer may

not be intelligent enough to select
their medium. But there is q blind
instinct that makes them go to pins.

her family physician for malaria. II

tetanus, which produced the fatal re-
suit. The bug was attached to the pin

Instead Of stitching, she repaired
