LENA CUTLER KEITH.

After peculiarly sad and Distress
ing illness of many months duration,
Lena Cutler Keith passed from this
life, on the afternoon of Saturday,
August 25th.
Lena Cutler, youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chauncey Cutler, was
born in Orange, December %, 1865.
After finishing her education she
taught school until her marriage to
A. M. Keith of Barre in February
1888.
Such in brief is the story of her
short life and only those who knew
her loveliness of character could ap-
preciate her worth.
All that tender hands ' and loving
hearts could do has been done for her
and her loss falls especially heavily
upon the mother, whose especial care
she has been.
Funeral services were held at the
home of her brother, Dell Cutler,
this afternoon at o'clock, the Rev.
f. M. Fuller officiating. Interment
at Plainfield.

No Great Unclaimed Estates,

There are 10 great unclaimed estates
in England, despite mistaken or fraud
ulent assertions to the contrary. The
state department warns the American
public against possible swindling eff
fected by the promoters of schemes
based on imaginary assets. A London
firm of solicitors was asked by the
United States embassy to examine GER
tain claims. In 1000 such eases thus
sifted no valid claim was discovered.
Furthermore, there are no large depos-
its in the Bank of England awaiting
claimants. The familiar theory that
people like to be imposed upon is made
more probable by the history of the
pursuit of supposed estates in COM
parison with which Castle in Spain"
is substantially itself.

Hunting by Electric Light t.

A Portuguese inventor has patented
an application of the electric light
to fox and badger hunting. The fox
and the badger are animals that live
in dens underground, and terriers and
other kinds of dogs are used to dig
them out of their burrows or to fight
and kill them underground. The in
genious Portuguese conceived the idea
of attaching an electric lamp to the
collar of the dog, so as to light the
way for him in his descent into the
hole, and of making the light col
ored, so as to scare the animal and
cause it to rush forth to its destruc'
ton.

The severest criticism upon illegible
writing on record was made by an Eng
lish writer recently, who said: There
are vast number of people who seem
to take Il positive pleasure in signing
their names-and, for that matter,
writing a whole letter-so that no one
can read it. Women are, perhaps, the
worst offenders, but they do not trans
gress so much with regard to their
signatures as men. Nobody has any
business to give other people the
trouble of having to decipher hero
glyphics; and if only we all had the
courage to ignore communications that
give trouble to read we might at least
make folks write clearly. if not pret-
tily. Unhapply, handwriting is un-
doubtedly characteristic, and the
worst writers usually have the loosest
minds, with the result that illegible
letters are almost invariably incoher-
ent and ungramnatical."

A Wedding Souvenir.

A Belgian bride of recent date made
an ingenious application of the auto
graph idea. She asked every guest to
write his or her name in pencil on the
train of her white satin gown. These
she will embroider later in silk and
keep as sovenir of the occasion. The

You never see Monte Carlo referred
to in any of the newspapers of the south
of France except when somebody has
won a large sum of money at the ables.
These papers are bribed to insert re-
ports of big gains by players, and to
keep out news of big losses. The sui
cides are also not reported for the
same reason. When an English paper
contains disparaging reference to the
place it is forbidden, for the time, to

REQUISITI0N
IS REFUSED
Governor Mount Will Not Give
Up v. S. Taylor.
GIVES REASONS FOR ACTION
Issues ia Statement and Says a
Fair Trial In the State ofken-
lucky Will Be Impossible

A special from Indianapolis says:
Governor Mount issued q statement
Wednesday declining to honor requi-
sition from Governor Beckham, OF
Kentucky, for the return to that state
of W. S. Taylor, who is under indict-
ment for completely in an alleged plot
which resulted in the assassination of
Governor Goebel.
Colonel Tom Campbell, Justus Goe'
bel, brother of the murdered man, and
Sheriff Suter, of Franklin county, Ken
lucky, arrived in the city during the
day with the requisition. They met
the governor in the executive parlors
and at his orders, every one was ex.
cluded during the arguments, inc!ud-
ing reporters.
Colonel Campbell insisted to the
governor that he had been misinform-
ed as to the situation in Kentucky. The
evidence, he said, all came from those
who had been near to Taylor, including
Republican state officials and Taylor's
own private secretary. This was in
reply to the sharp statement by Gov
ernor Mount that he would hear no
evidence secured by means of the
100000 fund.
Mr.. Campbell said Taylor could get
fair trial in Kentucky and cited the
fact that seven others, charged with the
same offense, had not been molested.
Justus Goebel added to Mr.. Camp
BELLS argument, which lasted an hour,
a short statement, urging the gov.
ernor to have the law take its course.
He said he believed Tay ylor and Finley
guilty from the evidence that had
come to him, but if they were innocent
the law of Kentucky would SO declare
and the men would go free and unmo-
Tested.
At 10 o'clock Wednesday night Gov
ernor Mount announced his decision.
The latter part is as follows:
'sThe honoring of this demand and
the return of Governor Taylor into
the custody of men who, blind to rea-
son, have ignored civil rights and into
environments where rapacious hate
dominates, would be assuming re-
sponsibility from the gravity OF which
I shirk. If conviction should follow,
and the fact be made manifest that
the court was q mookery OF justice, it
would fan into fame the smouldsring
embers in your state.
"Until those already in prison have
been accorded fair trial, thus de-
monstrating the possibility OF secur-
ing justice in your courts, cannot
honor your requisition. When tho
time shall have come that I can feel
assured that fair trial will be accord
ed Mr.. Taylor, then, and not until
then. will honor requisition for hia
return"

street railway union men decided Fri
day to accept a new proposition pre-

to settle the basis of the clause regard
ing reinstatement without reference to

This action was brought about
through the influence of Samuel Com

train No. 12, which left Atlanta Thurs
day morning at 7:30 o'clock and the:
Airline Belle accommodation crashed
together on high embankment on the
Southern railway line, about six,miiesS
from the city.
Two lives paid the penalty OF the
collision. Reuben r. Mayfeld. the
veteran engineer of the Belle and
Benjamin Davis, q white aagman of s
freight train, but who was on the
Belle at the time of the accident, weto
the men killed. s

O'Clock in the morning. II aiso had 3;
number of passengers on board.
A large number OF the passengefs 81
both trains sustained painful, though
not very serious injuries. Seyereis
members of the train crews were hurt
The two engines were completely des
molished. The baggage cars on eae
train had their front ends battered M
but the passenger coaches, except M
a few scratches, remained in good CON-
dition. 81
The accident was duo to the fa1k
that the engineer and oondactor q tl1G
northbound train were not acquainted
with the fact that they should wait ssS
the Belt junction for the southbounfs
Belle. To explain away the respon1ssi
bility there is a conflict Of testimon3
between the train dispatcher's ofles
and D. G.. Owens, the operator Nhp:
was on duty at Belt Junction.
Owens declares that he was moi. ma
structed to hold the north bound train.

ders were sent to the operator at thegs|
junction. ~ ~
