Horrible Deed Of a Mother Near
jacksonville Last Evening.
The Insane Woman Then Returned
TO the Corpse and Killed
Herself.
THE TRAGEDY A GREAT SHOCK

Louisville, July 22-News reached
this city last night of horrible ira
gedy enacted late yesterday afternoon
at Depoy, about seven miles from
Madisonville. Ky. Mrs. Ellen Tur-
ley, with n pistol, shot and killed her
four year old child, fired shots at her
two older children and failing 10
shoot them turned the weapon upon
--,'erself and fired bullet throguh her
brain.
The meagre report received OF the
affair was 20 the effect that Mrs.
Turley had not been well for several
days and her husband had start.
ed 20 Greenville in the afternoon TO
secure medicine. As he left his wife
asked him how long he would bS alb
sent II was then late and he replied
that Il would possibly be late in the
evening before he would return, but
that would attend TO what matters he
had ON hand as quickly as possible
Soon after he departed the two older
children went to the orchard not far
away, leaving the third and youngest
= little tot about four years old, with
their mother. When they were
gone, the mother, securing her hus-
bands pistol and taking the little one
along with her. went 90 q woodland
nearby and shot the child 20 death.
one bullet piercing its neck and the
other the BRAN. Tho other children
hearing the shots went 90 investigate
them and found the mother coming
away from where the unnatural and
horrible deed had been committed.
She called them to her and kissed
them both, but something about her
manner caused the children 20 fear
her, and espyiug tho bloody form OF
the little one they scampered away
from their mother in fright she fir
ing at them as they ran, but the shots
failed 20 strike them.
The children hid themselves and say
their mother returned 20 the house,
but soon she went hack 20 the body Of
the little one, then rigid and cold in
death. and placing the muzzle Of the
revolver against her own bead, sent
bullet whizzing through her brain.
Tho mother and child VIII be buried
in the same grave. The reason OF the
unfortunate woman must have been
suddenly dofhroned by some myster-

An Actor Suddenly Disappears From
La Belle Park.
He Fell and Was Hurt, and No
Trace Has Been Found of
Him Today.
WAS A VERY PECULIAR MAN

Last night it was announ ced from
the stage at La Belle park thester
that Mr.. James Brynes. one of the
members of the Middleton Stock com.
pany, could not go on with his part
on account of an accident. II seems
that Mr. Byrnes was in the habit Of
taking dip in the lake Just previous
to "msking up each night and on
this occasion had evidently slipped on
the steps, and in falling received a
severe blow on the head.
By some coincidence Mr.. Kehoe,
who has charge of the bath house.
went there, evidently Immediately ST
ter his fall and, finding him lying I'M
conscious on the steps carried him into
the bath house and summoned assist
snoe. After some work he was re-
vived, but was too i'll to make his
appearance on the stage.
After the performance he seemed to
be all right again, and was left in
mis- room, apparently completely recov-
cred from any serious effects.
However, during the night fever
must have set in and his mind have
wandered, for this morning he was
not in his room and the utmost search
ing could find no trace of him.
Byrnes was very peculiar man.
Some weeks since he introduced hun
self to Manager Schsffer, however
giving no information as to his past,
and asked for work. There being at
the time all opening, he was given
chance, and as his work proved very
acceptable to the public he was re-
tanned as a permanent member ofthe
company. No one knew anything Of
reality who he was, OF where he came
from, and he discouraged any inquir-
les. He was quite pleasant to every
one, but spent most Of his time alone,
seeming to prefer solitude to any
ones company. He was al actor Of
the old school, and had let drop
facts that proved that he had been
with many Of the bost companies
travelling. He WAS a strict teetotsler,
never drinking a drop Of any liquor,
was faithful and attentive in his
work, aud had no unpleasantness or
trouble with any one since being at
the park IL is believed that ne
was under an alias.
There is an enigma-who really is
he, where did he go and why did he
go?

work quite 3 hardship on great
many, If not all, of the public
schools in the state. Most Of them
have estimated the cost of support for
the ensuing year, and appropriated
amounts based on the estimated re-
ceipts. As a result they will get
much less than expected, and just to
what extent this will embarrass them
depends on the amounts they expected
to receive.
The Paducah schools will be short
$1,000 and over. When the trustees
began to compute the cost of running
the schools this year, they based their
estimates on what the receipts would
be, and they counted in s14, 900 or
s15, 900 to be- received from the state,
the per capita of 81. so on 5000 pupils.
II is now announced that the per
capita will be only ST. SO, eighteen
cents less than was expected, ana this
will knock off thousand or more dol
lars from the fund to be received by
the Paducah schools from the state.
Whether or not the board of trus-
tees will be able to economic suffi-
cieutly to meet the unexpected deficit
is not known, but it has already con-
trAoted for over SO, worth of i'm
provements, which will have to be
made at all hazards.
1t IS likely, however, that the re-
duotion will be so small, comparative
ly that it will make little or no differ
