body Of John McDonogh,
known to American History
nv an excentric philanthro-

IN order for years after t h q

had been one of MrDOnoh's
slaves for years attended to
this. Chispled in the stone oi

rules which MrDonogh formn

~ four years OF age, for the
guidance of his life:
Remember always that la
Dor is one Of the conditions
of our existence.
Time is'gold; throw not one
minute of it away. but place
each one TO account.
Do unto all Mlen as You
would be- done 10y.
Never bid another do what
You can do yourself.
Never put off until tomor.

Never covet what is no t

Never give out that which
does not first come in.
Never spend sut to pro.
duce.
Let the greatest order reg
ulate the transactions OF
your life.
Study in thecourse of your
life to do the greatest posi-
ble amount OF good;
Deprive yourself OF nothing
necessary to your comfort,
but live in an honorable, sim
plicity and frugality.
Labor, then, to the last mo
ment Of your existence.
Pursue strictly the above
rules and Divine blessings
and riches OF every kind will
follow upon you to your
henrt's content; but first ol
all remember that the first
and great study OF your life
should be to tend by all the
means in your power to the
honor and glory Of the d.
vine Creator.
The conclusion at which
have arrived Is that without
temperance there is no health
without virtue,no oider. witt

In Memory OF Andrew Cornish.

In Memory OF Andrew Cornish.
One by one the old land
marks and color hearers are
being called to answer t h e
roll call ON high. The Death
Angel made Temperament in
the peaceful ZONE OF our be-
loved brother. Andrew Cor
nish, andstore its victim from
Il loving wife and kind friends.
Brother Cornish wns born
May 19, 1885; died Feb. %,
1901, aged 66 years, 9 mos.
aud 4 days. He professed
faith in Christ Feb. 81, and
joined the Baptis, church at
Flat ;op Baptist church and
was baptiz"n by Bro. / W.
Thomas. He wnselected den
con Feb. 25 'SS, which Office
he honrably filed up to his
death. often representing the
church in the Three Forks
Associa ton.
Bro. Cornish joined HOke's
Brigade in Aug. '62, and re
manned in the army until the
surrender in '65. He was II
kind and sympathetic hus
band and neighbor. He was
taken i'll with the fatal dis
ease, Eangreene in the loot.
His suffering wasintense, but
he bore 1t with the fortirude
and patience OF a true SOL
dier. When he was told that
his case was incurable, he on
~ expressed bis eadlness and
willingness to depart t b | y
life and I've at rest with Christ
which is far better. Then call
ing his devoted wife an d
friends around him made a
full disposition OF his proper
ty, then admonishetl all ..hls
weeping friends to meet him
high up in heaven where sick
ness, pain .a.and death never
comes, and where partings
are not known.
Thus another good man
has quit the walks of life to
walk the streets of the New
Jerusalem. Surely the church
has sustained n great los s;
the community a model oi
morally. 1t seems hard ioI
us to have such brethren az
he taken from us, but we re.
member that it IL said that
all things work together for
good to chose who love the
Lord.
In conclusion we would say
let us follow the examples Ol
our dear brother in doing
|eood, in b1ilding up t h e
ca use of Christ in cCntendinq
for the faith once delivered
to the saints.

BRAVE CARPENTERS.
Proceed to Construct Fence While
a Woman with Shotgun Pro-
tects Them from Interference.

Stone avenue has line fence war
savoring strongly Of Kentucky. Ac-
cording to the charges and counter
charges made in the courts yesterday,
each OF the parties to the conflict is
around flourishing guns and each Is
threatening to do dire things to the
other, If the other dares to do this
or that thing to tother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Holland on
the one hand. and Mrs. Mary Hayes,
on the other, comprise the conflict
ing parties. They are next door neigh
hors and have been such for years.
Yesterday Mrs. Hayes proceeded, with
the aid OF gang OF carpenters, to
put up a fence between the two prop
critics and to erect a barn and re-
pair her house by adding to it a
porch.
The Hollands claimed she was en-
croaching on their land two feet, with
these improvements, and demanded
that she desist. She needed them not
whereupon they proceeded to grow
threatening. so it is alleged.
Mrs. Hayes went into the house, and.
according to the Hollands, reappeared
with a shotgun. She is the same Mrs.
Hayes who was returned by Constable
j. c. Moran some years ago for keel
ing a speakeasy and who after van
gushing Deputy Sheriff Craig when he
tent to arrest her, barricaded herself
IN her house and kept the whole power
of the county at bay for several weeks.
The Hollands were aware of this.
and they retreated. They then had re-
course to the law. An injunction was
secured restraining her from continuing
the alleged encroachments. 1t is to be
argued next Wednesday.
Later in the day the Hollands We're
arrested at the instance of Mrs. Hayes
on warrant from Alderman Howcs
office, charging them with interfering
with her workmen and threatening to
shoot her. They We're held in $500 bail
for court.

GLENN MASACQUITTED.
Commonwealth Failed to Make Out a
Case and a Verdict Of Not
Guilty Was Ordered.

BY direction of Judge II. NJ. Mcclure,
u verdict of not guilty was taken yes
terday in the case Of Nicholas Glenn,
township, who was charged with draw
ing fees from the county for fictitious
case which he said he discharged. The
prosecutor in the alleged fictitious case,
John Doland, was put on the stand and
swore that he lodged information be-
fore Glenn for the arrest of Frank
Shannon. and that the latter had g.
hearing and was discharged. Upon this
showing the judge directed verdict of
not guilty, and ordered the county to
pay the costs.
The following cases against magis-
trates We're continued. the district at
torney not being prepared to try them:
John j. Ruddy, Of the Twentieth ward
of this city, two charges of misde-
neanor in office: NJ. j. Cannon, of Oily
phant, two charges of misdemeanor of
Office; John Lentes, of the Eleventh
ward, two charges of misdemeanor in
office; John w. Millet, of the Sixth
ward, misdcmeanor in office
1t is the general opinion about the
court house that these cases will never
be tried. District Attorney Lewis re-
fuses to talk about them, but does not
seem much impressed with the evil
dence on which Detective r. Il. Rey-
nolds has based his cases against the
magistrates whose arrests he caused.
The two cases already tried have coll
