DIES AT AN ADVANCED AGE.
Former Governor of Kentucky and a
Distinguished Citizen Of the State
Became Widely Known While a
Member of Congress In 1875.

Henderson, KY, Jan. 1l.-Former
Governor John Young Brown died
here today at an advanced age. He
was prominent as a statesman and sol.
der and distinguished as a citizen.
In 1875 while congressman he became
widely known through a denuncistion
OF General Benjamin F, Butler, who,
as military governor of New Orleans
was distasteful to the southern people.
For this speech Governor Brown re-
ceived vote of censure, but the next
congress expunged it from the rec
ords. He was one of the first men to
take a stand against the merger OF
competing railroads. He remained a
Democrat until William Goebei was
named, when he was nominated for
governor as an independent Democrat
ic candidate to oppose him.
Governor Brown is survived by
John Young Brown, superintendent OF,
the city hospital of st. Louis; Mrs.
John Rodman, of Memphis, and Mrs
Edward Humphrey, of Louisville. h
