TENNESSEE STATE NEWS


At last the light has begun to shine
on the murder of old man AIDE, his wife
and children and little Rosa Morier on
Paradise Ridge, near Nashville, in
March, 1897. These parties were muir
dered one night, and to cover up the
crime the house with the dead and
dying in it was burned SO as to destroy
all traces of crime. A number of per-
sons were arrested and tried on sus-
pion of being the murderers, but the
evidence was all circumstantial, and
juries acquitted them. The hunt for
the murderers, however, has never been
quite abandoned, and it has now leaked
out that Thomas O'Bryant and George
Newland, white men, now serving three
years sentences for cattle stealing in
Cheatham county, have been indicted
by the Davidson county grand jury for
the killing of AIDE and his family.
Their sentences are about to expire,
and petitions are already in circulation
asking their pardon. The officials re-
fuse to give out any details but indica-
tions are said to point unerringly to
the fact that O'Bryant and Newlands
are guilty of the heinous crime. Rob-
berry is said to have been their motive.

HE PROBABLY PASSED.
Singular Report of On Railway Ap-
pIIcant for Examinat alton for
Color blindness.

In railroad circles a new story is going the
rounds, says the Kansas City Star. The
Burlington not long since issued an order
requiring all it's section foremen to report to
an oculist on a certain day and have their
ewes examined. One afternoon after those
present had undergone the examination
and the eye doctor was about to close up
for the evening a messenger boy rushed IN
with small package neatly tied up in tissue
paper and which proved to be glass eye.
The following and evidently hurried scrlb-
bled note was attached:

LITTLE, BUT OH, MYI
How a LOw-Sized Lawyer Impressed
o. Timid Servant with His
Importance.

The following story is attributed to Sen
ator Vest, says the Chicago Tribune:
Before the war there was a lawyer in
independence, Mo-, who was the counterpart
in appearance of the pictures of Pickwick
He was as fussy in his manner as hen with
a brood of ducks. One day he nearly broke
in the door of a residence by his vigorous
use of the knocker. The disturbance was
answered by darby, who was frightened
out of his boots as he opened the door.
Where's your master% Numbered the law
yer, and before the darky could answer the
lawyer repeated his question. Then the
darby replied that he was not in.
4 suppose not, thundered the lawyer
again. We'll, mind you, now, mind you,
when he comes you tell him / want to see
him-want to see him at once. Understand?
Tell him j. Brown Hovey, attorney at law,
wants to see him at once, at once
with that Mr.. Hovey turned and disap-
peared in hutter. When the master came
he asked his servant if anyone had called.
The darby was still in his fright, and with
his teeth chattering he replied:
Yes, sab, dar was leetle, funny-look
ing name come, an he said dat was to tell
you dat Brown j.. Hovey, de eternal Lord,
want ter see you right away.
