OBITUARY
JOHN Q. Q. KELLEY

The sympathetic heart Of Middletown
was never more deeply stirred than it was
yesterday morning, when a telegram was
received announcing the death Of Mr..
John Curtis Clarke Kelley, eldest son Of
County Comptroller and Mrs. George D.
Kelley, Of this town, at the Presbyterian
Hospital in Philadelphia, of typhoid
fever.
About two weeksago be was taken sud.
denly i'll. and bis attending physician
advised his young wife and parents to
send him to the hospital, which was done
Immediately, and for a short time bis
condition was somewhat improved, but
death relieved him of his sufferines yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock.
His death occurring as 1t did, cut short
what promised to be most useful life, as
be was ! young man Of splendid char.
acter, and leaves large circle of friends
in this town where be spent his boyhood
days.
On the 18th day Of last September he
was marriedt TO Miss Julia Bruere, Of New
Egypt, N. j, and began housekeeping in
Philadelphia, where be was employed as
travelling salesman by the well-known
lumber firm Of Messrs. George w. Bush

Death has stricken the home Of Mr..
apd Mrs. Kelley with unusual sadness
during the last few weeks. On Monday
March Sd, death removed from their

monster claimed their eldest son.
The deepest sympathy is expressed on
all sides for the bereaved wife and rela.
tives of the deceased husband, son and

CAUSE OE DISASTER
A GAS EXPLOSION CAUSED THE
FAYETTEVILLE CATAS.
TROPHE.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 27.-State
Labor Commissioner and Mine In
spector r. A. shihet gave a statement
at noon, says a special from Coal
Creek, Tenn, in which he fixes the
cause of the explosion in Fraterville
coal mine last Monday. lie says it
was a gas explosion, ana not dust
explosion, as has been stated by many.
Also that he has found three or four
bad leaks in the old Knoxville Iron
Company's mine from which gas
flows into the Fraterville mine, thus
confirming his original opinion. He
will continue his thorough inspection
of Fraterville and Thistle mines until
every foot of their area is covered.
The gas leaks were found about
4, 600 feet in the Frsterville mine from
the main entrance. There are holes
in the wall between the Fraterville
mine and an abandoned mine of the
Knoxville Iron company.

were continued through the list Of
manufactured goods that represent
only one stage of skilled labor, we
should meet with many other striking
percentages.
This is all largely due to tine effici-
ency Of the American workingman
who is the best paid in the world,
thanks to the benefits of protection

ty. In the United States the average

There is probably nothing to be
gained by an investigation Of lynch
ings. There are . number Of causes,
and contributory causes, and there is
nothing that can remedy the existing
state of Affairs as long as men are
men. This may be q pessimistic view
to take of it, but 1t is nevertheless
true. The delay of the courts, race
hatred. brutal deeds Of human fiends,
both black and white, sectional strife.
and lawlessness on part Of people in
certain localities are responsible for
most of the lynchings. Whether there
is any excuse or not, or whether there
is any justification or not, there will
doubtless be lynchings as long as there
are men willing to take part in them,
and men mean enough to provoke
them. There is no particular advant-
age In congress investigating the
question, for no matter what the cause,
the effect will remain unchanged. In
most cases of lynchings the sentiment
of the comm unity is with the lynch
ers, and as long as it is, there is no use
irving to stop it. It will break out
in new place every day. We are OPP
posed to lynchings from first to last,
but from the rapid increase in them in
past years, it looks as il there is no
way to prevent them and II there is
none, there is no advantage to be gain
ed by congress investigating them,
while there is strong possibility of
much unnecessary i'll feeling being en-
gendered by such an inquisition.

HEROIC YOUTH
HE SAVED HIS SWEETHEART,
BUT LOST HIS OWN LIFE.

Ashland, KY, May 27-Arthur
Madden, aged 81, and Miss Ethyl
Halett, aged IS, sweethearts, Of Sol
der Station, on the O. and o.. west
of this city, were driving and in at
tempting to cross Tygert creek, swol-
len by the heavy rains the buggy was
upset. Young Madden placed the girl
on his back and swan ashore. He then
plunged into the waters to save his
horse, but the swift current carried
him underline buggy and the strug-
Cling animal and he was drowned.
The young girl witnessed her lovers
and death, helpless to aid
him. Both were highly connected.
They were soon to have been married.

FATALLY SHOT RIVAL.
FRANK ROBINSON KILLED HIS
SWEETHEART AND PUT A Bull

Robinson, aged 20 years, today sho
and killed his sweetheart, Gertie Raw

tally wounded himself in an apart
