johnson, eldest son of the late ". E.
johnson, near Shiloh, deliberately and
premeditatedly blew his brains out
with a double barrel shot gun. The
top of his head was blown off, his
brains lodging against and adhering
to the ceiling overhead. Before com
mitting this horrible deed, he quietly
took a bath, changed his clothes and
then went into his room, closed the
door securely took off the shoe and
sock of his right foot, and then took
his life in the manner above stated.
He was very unsettled young man in
his habit, and had become very de-
spondent of late. He had kind and
devoted parents. His father and
eldest sister died only few months

Fires.

About 4 O'Clock last Wednesday the
barn and stables of Maj. Marion Noise,
together with the contents, were de-
stroyed by fire. A brisk wind was
blowing at the time, and the lofts
being filed with a quantity of hay and
fodder, the flames spread too rapidly
for the fire department. to do more
than prevent the spread of the fire to
adjacent buildings.
q lot of grain and other feed stuff.
saddles, harness, &C., and one mule
were burned with the buildings.
Mai. Noise thinks the loss is at
least 50, 800. He had only LOCO insur-
ance.
The buildings were new and sub
stantially built, having brick founda-
tions and tin roofs.
tt is reported that some boys play
ing on the premises were smoking
cigarettes, and the fire may have origi-
mated in that way; .bnt Maj. Noise
says he has no knowledge Of how the
FIRE was started.
Sunday night about 10. o'clock an
alarm of fire was sent In from the
Female Seminary, Main Street. The
oveIturning OF lamp caused the
commotion, but fortunately no damage
was done, AS usual the reel squads re-
sponded promptly.
At4 o'clock yesterday afternoon FIRE
broke out in. the kitchen roof connect
ed with the dwelling Of Mr.. G. II.
DorIi, and soon spread to; the second
story of the dwelling, the upper part
of which was destroyed before the fire
could be- gotten under control. Mr..
Dorm lost most of the contents of the
upper story. The furniture on the
first floor was taken ont, but as is u.s.
ually the case much Of it in bad order,
and some lost.
Fhe property belongs to Mr. E. S.
Carson and is situated on Harvin
Street adjoining the Episcopal parson-
age. The fire department. responded
with their usual promptness and with
their usual good work not only pre-
vented the spread of the fire to other
buildings, but saved part of the build
ing on fire.
Mr.. Dorm had some four or five
hundred dollars insurance which, he
hopes, will nearly cover his loss.
