TRAGEDY AT MoNTEAGLE.
Miss Lille Dixon Accidentally
Kills Herself With a Revolver.

Miss Lille Dixon Accidentally
Kills Herself With a Revolver.
Monteagle, June 2O-On Saturday AZ
ternoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, this
usually quiet community was startled
by the shocking announcement that
Miss Lille Dixon, a young lady about
II years old, had just shot and killed
herself. Every circumstance points to
the conclusion that the shooting was
accidental The young lady was sit
ing at her sewing as usual in the after
noon, when Henry Garner, young gem
tleman friend, stepped in for = call. In
the act Of sitting down, his pistol slip
ped from his hip pocket,
Miss Lille picked 1t up and began
toying with It. Finally she removed
all the cartridges, examined into the
mechanism and then reloaded the re.
volver and laid It on the table beside
her, Shortly after she again took up
the weapon, accidentally grasping it
over the trigger.
Almost simultaneously With the re-
port Of the pistol, came her CRY: "0h,
Henry, l am shot! DO you think I will
dieP"
Mr.. Garner caught her in his arms as
she fell and laid her on the lounge, and
then ran for assistance. DR.. Bryan was
summoned but the girl had been dead
several minutes when he arrived. His
examination OF the wound showed that
the ball had entered just below the
right collar bone, passing down to the
second rib, which detected it and sont
1t tearing through the lungs, causing
almost instant death.
A hole nearly two inches in diameter
was burned in her dress, showing that
the pistol was very close to her person
when discharged.
Miss Dixon was an orphan with nc
relatives in the neighborhood. For tbs
past six years she lived with the family
OF Emile GrenicheT, whore she wal
treated as an own daughter.
This is the second sudden death tina
has occurred in Mr.. Grenicher's house
hold within year. Last August Mrs
Grsnicher, while sitting at the dinner
table, fell from the chair exp ring In
stantly from heart disease.
Yesterday special train ran from
Tracy City to CowAn, bringing down
large number OF persons to attend the
funeral of Miss Dixon, which was hell

Killed by a Train.

On last Tuesday evening DIR. Mike
Graham was run over and killed at this
place by freight train that was switch
ing on the Memphis division OF tht
Southern Railroad. The facts surround
ing the accident are rather meRger.
However, it seems that when first dis
covered his body had been passed over
by one car and was under the second.
The train was running backward. His
body was badly mangled, and he only
lived about thirty minutes, never speak
ing.
DR.. Graham was about 05 years old,
one of the oldest physicians in this
county, and a member Of the Cum ber-
land Presbyterian church.
The funeral services were held At the
church on Wednesday, conducted by
Rev. G. D. Orman, assisted by Rev,
James Cox. His remains were laid to
rest in the college cemetery Wednesday
evening by the Masonic fraternity Of
this place, Of which the deceased was 8
brother, assisted by several members
of the order from Bridgeport,
He leaves a devoted wife and two SOM
and two daughters, and many relatiVel
and friends TO mourn his loss, TO whom
we tender our sincere Bympathy.--SteV

EVANS is ACTIVE.
Pension Commissioner Determined
90 break Up Corrupt Practices.

Pension Com missioner Determined
TO break Up Corrupt Practices.
Washington, June 15.--Commissione
of Pensions II, Clay Evans is determin-
cd to break up the abuse arising from
false certificates from notaries in execu-
ting pension vouchers throughout the
country. Prosecutions are sure to fol-
low and the guilty parties will be
brought TO justice. Commissioners Ev-
ans informed me that, in his opinion,
the only way by which these illegal
practices could be effectually stopped
was to bring the guilty parties to the
bar Of justice and make examples Of
them. In explaining the law and the
methods adopted by the nOtaTies, Com
missioner Evans said:
"EoF example, q voucher cannot be
executed before the 4th day Of the
month on which 1T Is due THIS 10 done
TO be sure that the pensioner is alive on
that day. But this provision has been
abused, and abuse OF il was found in q
most accidental way. On March last a
ntoAry had certified to some 100 VouCh-
ers for negroes who turned out not TO
be genuine pensioners, and the Vouch-
ers were sent to this ONCE instead OF
the agency near here. This Was the
first inkling had had rs to notarial
abuse, and at once began an inVestiga-
ton, q circular touching which ! have
sent out"
Commissioner Evans has no desire in
being hasty in prosecuting the offenders
criminally, but be finds that some de.
cided steps are necessary.
"FOr," he continued, during the last
few months, under cover of this man
ner Of deception, we have discovered in
one case alone that the Govern ment b o.
been swindled, in the course OF from ten
20 twelve years, out of about $50. 600
The way il happened was that the pen
sioner, already dead, had left his GER
tiHcates to = friend, who, under the sys
tenn OF nOtariAl abuses which am nov
investigating, had had his vouchers Ger
titled, the clerks signing As witnesses
'As l stated in my circular, it is tbs
intention Of the bureau, whom the facti
warrant such action, TO institute Grimm
al proceedings against the parties WhC
indulge in these illegal and irregular
practices, and they are warned accord
ingly."
Commissioner Evans has a mass o
documentary evidence on hand, which
he does not desire to use hastily, al
though some Of II seems TO be Of Verl
convincing character.

When a farmer car haul by two

An exchange says: at may sound a
little startling, bat IL Is said to be true
that more young men are learning
trades in penitentiaries than out OF
them, because parents are trying to
make clerks, doctors, lawyers and even
preachers out Of the material intended
for blacksmiths. carpenters and other
trades Of mechanics. The trouble Is
that boys are too eager to avoid the la
Dor Of life, and too anxious TO follow
some calling that does not soil their
hands and parents are responsible for
this. Boys should be taught there ia
more honor in manual labor than In
Loading, and more honor In toiling than
In dependence. The farm and shop Of.
ten yield more profit than the once OF
counter, and the honest, industrious
man is generally rewarded"
