DEAR Mr.. HAINKs.-
On Saturday afternoon, northumberland
ing | was very busy. 1 threw off the yoke
of toll, and. with my family, started for
the happy land of Canaan, This is not
the Canaan we read of in the Bible, but
it is one that dates back into the the 18th
century. It was to the grand old resi-
dence regretted by Mr., John C. Kerfoot
in 1909. We arrived at 6 o'clock, and,
after a sumpteous. supper. my bachelor
brother-in-law, who recently purchased
this old homestead, showed me through
the spacious rooms and halls. The COM
modious designs clearly indicate that Mr..
Kerfoot was a man of great wealth, and
possessed of architectural skill such as
you seldom see in this day, and clearly
demonstrated that he was not one of the
10 cent kind. This homestead is eminently
situated, and as 1 sit upon one of the lofty
porches my eye rests upon many magnif-
cent residences, among them the "Tuil-
cries" now the home of Col. U. L..
Boyce, the great railroad lawyer; also
Montana Hall, the home of Mr.. VIM.
Conrad, who went to Montana after the
war penniless and returned with a half
million dollars. The Jarvis Jenning es-
tate is also plainly visible.
The following morning, my sister-in-
law, Miss Beulah NJ. N, y(who accom-
panied US on this trip,) my wife and
daughter and myself, visited the quiet
resting place of Mr.. John Kearfoot and
his wife, which is a short distance from
the house. In this graveyard also rest
the remains of Mr.. VIM. C. Kearfoot and
his wife. VIM. C. was a son of John and
one of the largest land owners in Clarke.
He was one of the best men 1 have ever
known. 1 handled wheat from his large
farm thirty years ago. His f~avorite son
Daniel, was killed in the yard of Mr.. Dan'1
w. Sewers on August 22nd, 1862, by the
Yankees. 1 should also mention that in
this lonely graveyard rest the remains of
four of the lovely little children of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. N. Laws, and grandchildren
of Mr.. Kerfoot.
AS 1 sit and view the beautiful sur
roundings of the Kerfoot homestead my
heart is mingled with delight and sad
ness, and how forcibly do / realize that
old saying that by the time man gets fixed
to live he dies. Would like to say more,
but time forbids. Yonrs, &C.,

A Strange POISONING Case

Mr.. George Everhart, living near the Old
Chapel in this county, and two of his child
rem, were on last Sunday poisoned in a mys-
terious manner, and for a time all of their
lives were despaired of, but they are now
thought to be out of danger. To the attend
ing physician, DR.. C. Mccormick, Mr.. Ever
hart made this statement. He said that he
had been absent from home on Saturday.
having gone to Charles Town, and during
this visit placed his two children, aged 4 and
@ years. with his n%eighbor, Mrs. Lake; that
after his return he called at her home for his
children when he was invited to stay to
supper, which invitation he accepted, Later
on he returned with his children to his resi-
dence, where he found a note from his de-
eased wife's sister, Miss Pyle, in which she
stated that she had been at his home and
cleaned it up, and expressed regrets that she
had failed to see him while there. This duty
she had often taken upon herself since his
wife's death.
The next day, while preparing his dinner
MIR. Everhart concluded he would make
ONE coffee. He found the vessel in which
he usually made it out of its regular place
and containing a fluid somewhat the color
of coffee. This at first surprised him. be-
cause ne remembered putting the coffee pot
away empty after he last used it. Presum-
ng, however, that his sister-in-law, in her
kindness, had begun the preparation of his
coffee, he placed the vessel containing the
fluid over the fire and brought its contents
to a boil.
He and his two children drank of this
beverage and were almost Immediately taken
very i'll. The theory is that some enemy.
in the absence of Mr.. Everhart and family
on Saturday, put Rough on Rats or some
other poison in the coffee pot.-Clarke Cou-
Miss Fannie Pyle, Everhart's sister-in-
!aw, has been arrested. charged with
having lone the poisoning, and released
on $500 bail.

GOVERNORS ANSWER
what He Won't Do About aetzendanet,.

- AB0aI s
Seat
Willism Campbell, of Getzendan-
er's senatorial district, the 18th, yes
terday sent to Governor Atkinson a
direct inquiry as to what he was
going to do in connection with Sena-
tor Getzendaner's sea in the State
Senate.
The Governor replied indirectly
by wIre, the substance of his answer
being this:
THE executive, legislative, and
judicial branches of the government
are separate and distinct. The exec
utive cannot usurp the power of
either of the other branches Getz-
endaner has declined to resign and
says he will be present at the next
meeting of the Legislature to perform
his duties a Senator. The same is
true of Pierson. Since these men
have declined to resign it is not my
~prerogative to declare their seats
vacant. The Senate alone has the
power to pass upon the election and
qualifications of its members. III
were to issue a proclamation and
order a special election in this case
and give the parties elected certif
Gates of election, the Senate might
reject them and retain the two old
members. 1t certainly would have
the power to do so, if it SO desired.
If such action were to occur, it will
be readily seen that I had unjustly
interfered with the business of the
legislative department of the State"
