KINGSTON, ST., DEAD
PIONEER POLITICIAN PASSES
AWAY AT NECEDAH.
SADDENED AND POOR
Death of His Son in Porto Rico q
Crushing Blow-Five Years a Sen
ator and Thrice an Assemblyman-
Gave Away Certain Fortune for a
Life in Politics.

Neceuah, Wis, March 28.-John T.
Kingston, who within a month stood
broken-hearted at the bier Of his fav-
or1te son and namesake, the young Pr
triot who died in Porto Rico, yesterday
himself passed away. He had been
ailing for some time. He leaves a
widow, two sons in the far west and
three daughters, all married. One
daughter, Mrs. DR.. Jennings, and her
family resided with him and his aged
wife. Mr.. Kingston was register of
deeds Of this county of late-his last
public office. He died poor, a victim of
politics. A quarter of a century ago
he SOLD for a paltry $4,000 his interest
in great saWmill here which later
made his old partners independently
rich. He had been in politics before
and now entered again, his means and
time quickly going in the fascinating
game. The opening Of his political
career dates back to -bellum days.
He was a senator in 357 and also in
1859, 1851, 1882 and 1888, while in 1874,
1880 and 1881 he was in the lower
house-a leader and influential mem.
Der always. He was Wisconsin
pioneer, reaching the territory in
1884 and settling at Racine, coming to
Necedah in 1S4S. He held many local
offices, besides legislative, and was a
state hospital trustee in 1870 and 1879,
likewise a presidential elector in 1880.
He was born Jan. 13, 1919, in st. Claire
county, ILL.,, and his education was
partially collegiate. He was an old
style republican. His son, John T.
Kingston, Jr., became a democrat soon
after leaving college, much to his
fathers grief, was senator from 1890
to 1894, postmaster at Ashland four
years afterward; then enlisted as a pri-
vate, only to die three months later in
Porto Rico. This calamity was cruel
blow to the aged father and undoubt-
eddy fastened his death. He will be
buried beside the fresh-made grave of
his idolized boy.

A NEGRO'S AWFUL DEED.
Kills Young Girl and Then Mutilates
Her Body.

New York, March 23.-James Bill
lings, a negro ex-convict, was arrested
in Brooklyn yesterday on the charge
of having killed Susie Martin in the
district known as ''Hells Kitchen" in
1894. Billings arrest was brought
about by the confession of William
Johnson, a negro convict whose SEN
tence at Sing Sing has just expired.
Susie Martins murder created a great
sensation at the time. Eleven days
after the murder the girls headless
and limbless body was found in a
39th street cellar. Almost a year
later the little girls skull was discov-
cred in a heap of rubbish in cellar
at 459 West 46th street. After Susie
Martins body had been discovered
Johnson declares his friend confessed
to him. The man said that he was in
toXicated when he met the girl. ne
dragged her into the cellar and, after
