The Tate-BIedsoc Trouble.

TO the Editor of The Dispatch:
A correspondent at Middlesborough,
KY, has fallen into a grave error in re-
gard to 1.-THE killing Of John NJ. Tate at
Blackwater, on election-day, and the kill
ing OF Evan Bledsoe by his son, Howard
Tate"
Bedsoe has not been killed by any one.
He had his trial before magistrates. and
was acquitted on the ground OF his parts
that Captain Tate was the aggressor, APP
preaching BledsOe i'm a rather insulting
manner. while BledsOe was in conversa-
ton with some one else. Some words were
passed. when, as tho witnesses stated,
Tate drew his revolver and shot at Blel-
soc twice, but they We're 50 close together
that Bledsoe knocked the pistol aside
The first shot passed through both thighs
of a by-stander, and the second shot hit
another man, hurting hun but little, now
ever. The parties clnched. and by this
time Bledsoe drew his pistol. shooting
Tate in the breast, the bail passing
through the region OF the neart, and then
shooting him twice in the head. Some Of
the witnesses say Tate was shot in the
head twice before he fell, BlcdsOe holding
him with his left arm around him, while
others say he was shot in the head once,
while they were clinched. and the second
time while falling. or Just after he fell
Tho trouble came up not 20 much from
political differences. While Bledsoe was

POOH BILL ANTHONY.

The death of brave "Bill" Anthony tho
marine orderly who figured go prominent
~ on the occasion OF tho destruction OF
the battleship Maine. is pathetic in
stance Of tho short reign OF glory which
national heroes enjoy in these flckle. rest
less days.
Anthony as will be remembered, was
the man who said TO Captain Sigsbee as
the vessel was settling: "Sir. l have TO
report that the ship has been blown up
and is sinking" At least this IS what
he is reported 10 have said and though
his language is suspiciously melodramatic,
there is no question about the fact that
the marine conducted himself most hero
icaly on that momentous occasion.
For weeks after the destruction of the
Maine Anthony was a popular idol and
his name was spread broadcast through
out the country. There were hundreds
ready to do him honor, TO seize an oppor-
tunity TO show him Some courtesy. and
II we mistake not II was his celebrity
which brought him a young wife. A play
was written for him, and he went upon
the stage, but he was not destined to
perpetuate his popularity. And so. after
awhile, he was consigned to oblivion.
That the plucky fellow suffered unlim-
tied modification no one can doubt but
he had not the strength. alas. TO resist
the despair which ultimately set in. The
sequel of II all was terrible On Thurs
day afternoon he went 10 Central Park
and swallowed poison. A few hours later
he was found by policeman. and when
taken to a hospital almost his last words
were: Il am William Anthony a marine
have taken poison. am going TO die"
That was the history he gave OF him
self. and that was tho history which his
forgetful admirers accepted without addi-
tons The embellishments which would
accompany the biography of a popular
idol were all gone. Simply William An
thony, marine" That was his final
story.
In his dying words the man most ten
derby referred to his wife and infant
better than he could give her." and so
he died.
Doubtless there will be many 10 draw
q moral from this pathetic incident. but
F., II is difficult TO place the censure where
Il belongs. Poor, brave "Bill" Anthony
found himself out OF his element when
placed upon tho pedestal OF popular adu-
lation, and once there he knew not how 10
retire. Doubtless he had faults and
many temptations, but there was some
thing very human In his grief and mortih-
cation when at last he surrendered. He
realized how soon we are forgotten, and
though fortified by physical courage. lack
