Early Experiences.
When Senator Joe Blackburn was q
struggling young lawyer, as all really
great statesmen must nave been at some
stage In their career, he was called Upon
to defend O negro charged with murder.
Mr.. Blackburn did the best he could
made an impassioned address to the jury
and all that sort Of %thing-but the defend
ant was sentenced to pay the extreme
penalty.
Mr.. Blackburn was then taking his first
lip into politics, running for some small
local office. He had a hard time getting
people to attend the meetings. at which he
was advertised to speak, and luck gen
orally appeared to be against him. Well,
hanging day came and the doomed man
was told that he would have fifteen min
ltes in which to say his last words. Mr.
Blackburn accompanied the man to the
scaffold, and as his eyes wandered over
he several hundred Of his fellow citizens
who had come to witness the spectacle
more than he could ever hope to attract
oy his own -eloquence-h.s brain was lit
Up by a flash OF genius. He had a few
hurried words with his client, In which

such q tim and impressed upon him what
! godsend the opportunity to make q
speech would be to him, Blackburn. The
negro somewhat reluctantly agreed to let
him &C ahead. Thereupon, much to the
surprise Of the auditors. Mr.. Blackburn
launched into an effort on the issues OF
the hour. He was proceeding to his own
entire satisfaction when he felt a Juggling
At his coat tails. CHANGING around he en-

As the result OF collision between
the north bound sleeper from New
York and south bound freight train
Jan. 81, four freight cars were teles-
COPIED, several thousand bushels OF
potatoes were distributed about IL e
surrounding territory and an engine
was badly damaged. The wreck
occurred at 80 in the morning and
was at the switch just north OF the
station at Charlotte. The cause of the
accident is hard TO determine. En-
gineer Mason of the sleeper supposed
the freight was ont of the way. No
one on the passenger train was in
jured. The application of the emer-
gency brakes gave them an intima-
ton that a crash might be expected
but the contact with the freight was
hardly noticeable.

lunch business only few days before
and the new proprietors allowed him
to sleep in room in the rear OF these
rooms until he had secured other
accommodations. 1t seems that he
fired three shots from a 32 ealibre
bull dog revolver and probably the
first shot was fired at the LETT breast.
Not securing fatal results he fired
second shot which struck the left
cheek bone. The third shot struck

forehead Mr.. Bradley had been in

loss Of money. Several times he had

Isabella Marsh Dead.

Mrs. Isabella A. Marsh OF North
field, who was serving life sentence
in the Vermont State prison at Wind
sor for the murder OF her husband,
George Marsh, died at 5 o'clock Tues
day afternoon of diabetes, after a
long illness which had confined her
10 her bed the greater part of the time.
Her body was claimed by A. w. Hunt
ington of Montpelier, a brCther-in-
law. Brief funeral services were held
at the prison. Mrs. Marsh was 46
years old.
George Marsh of Mortified was a
hard working farmer, who married
the woman later found guilty of his
murder, eight or ten years previous
to that crime She was a widow,
whose husband had died under cir
cumstances which caused considerable
talk at the time. The woman's char
acter had never been OF the best.
During the summer and fall of 1895
Marsh complained considerably of
not feeling well but kept about his
work until about week or ten days
previous to his death, when he was
confined to his bed and a physician
called. He did not improve and fin
ally died January 20, 1896, a painful
and agonizing death, under circum-
stances which were not accountable
in the regular course OF disease. A
post-mortem examination was pro-
posed, but Mrs. Marsh objected and
the idea was abandoned. though Cos
sip over his death continued.
In the meantime the conduct of
Mrs. Marsh and one William BuZzell,
who became a regular resident at
Mrs Marsh's as soon as Mr.. Marsh
was taken i'll, caused still further
talk and their conduct was open to
the severest criticism.
Matters progressed so far that the
authorities deemed it advisable to
take action and accordingly the body
OF Marsh was disinterred February IL,
1896.
Professor Bartlett OF Dartmouth
college found large quantities OF ar
senic in Marsh's body and Mrs. Marsh
and William Buzzell were held on
the charge OF murder. They were
found guilty and were sentenced to
be hanged February 3. 1899. This
sentence the legislature of 1898 COM
muted to Imprisonment for life.
