The facts so far as we have been able
to learn them, are substantially as fol-
lows:
Eva Wilson was and had been in the
employ OF V. B. Bowers who is pro-
prietor and owner of the Bowers House
at Elk Park, N. O., for about two years
as cook and house-keeper. Sometime
during the month Of October, last year,
Frances Shope was employed by Mr..
Bowers as saleslady in his store at Elk
Park. Miss Shope was on or about the
23d of December, '9S, confined to her
room with sickness and her meals we're
carried to her room. On the Both day
of December she ate some soup which
was carried to her and in a few mo-
ments after drinking the milk, she was
heard coughing by Mr.. Bowers who
was in his store which adjoins the hotel
and near the room occupied by the de-
ceased. He rushed from the store and
towards the room Of the deceased and
at the door he met Miss Wilson COM
ing out of the room and asked her what
was wrong with Miss Shope. Miss
Wilson replied she did not know and
went about her work. On entering the
room Mr.. Bowers found the deceased
out of the bed on the floor very sick
and suffering great pain. DR.. Story a
leading physician Of Elk Park, was at
once summoned and administered to
her relief and within a few days she
was convelescent.
In six or eight days after this she was
given some milk which was prepared
by Miss Wilson and soon thereafter
she was taken violently sick. DR.. Sto.
ry was again called and was told by the
deceased that she had been poisoned,
and upon examination he found symp
toms of accute poison. He admins
tered antidotes which relieved the de
ceased and she was soon convelescen
again. AT another time deceased wa
given something to eat which produced
violent sickness with symptoms Of poi
son, but of milder form.
There was found in the Of th
! deceased with the medicines prepares
, and dosed by DR.. Story, a paper un
| like that used by DR.. Story, which ur
| on examination and analysis proved t
be corrosive sublumate. There was al
/ so found by Dr.. Story on the hearth

VIII Build Ten Houses.

J. Allen Smith and DR.. r, NJ. Rhea,
Knoxville capitalists, who own consid-
cradle property in Johnson City, have
decided to make some Of their vacant
lots valuable and will begin shortly the
erection of ten cottages on Division
street. They will be of modern con-
struction and will give the renter a
comfortable, convenient home for the
price. This is a move in the right di-
rection and if followed by a few more
land owners it would put an end to this
objection to paying taxes on unremun-
e~ratiyelots, Again, there are no vrcant
houses for rent and there never was q
time in the history of the town that
the demand for houses was as great as
now.

Killed Mother and Sister.

Athens, Ala, Julg IA thirteen
year old boy named Thomas, living
on farm several miles in the inte
rior, last night stabbed and killed
his oldest sister, who had quarre lied
with him for not helping support
the family. The boy then turned
on his aged mother, who had come
to her daughters assistance, and
slashed her so terribly that she died
in short time.
A few months ago the boy and
his father were out hunting when
the latter was shot in the back and
killed. The boy was suspected of
killing his father, but no conclusive
evidence could be securee. Young
Thomas fled and has so far eluded
capture.
