BRUTAL ASSAULT
MAY MEAN GALLOWS
Negro Said to Be From Padu'
cab Arrested at Henderson.
Held without Bail-Evidcnce Said
to BE Most Conclusive Against
Him.
HE ALSO STOLE A WATCH

George Alexander, colored, said
to be steamboat man from Padu-
cab, is in Jail at Henderson, Ky, and
1t is predicted by the papers there
will be hanged for criminally as
saulting a negro woman, Frances
Gordon, who is married and bears
good reputation. She lives near
Spottsville, not far from Henderson.
Alexander claims he was on his
way to Greensboro with a negro nam
cd Clements, but Clements has never
been found, and a number of people
who saw Alexander at various times
declare he was alone. He went to the
woman's house and asked for a drink
of water, and learned that her hus-
band was not at home. He returned
short time later and asked for an
other drink of water, and subsequent
ly brutally assaulted her. He then
said he had done enough "for them
to hang me" so he would take her
watch and he did. The woman was
forced to flee almost in rags with her
small child, to the home of neigh
| bors.
Alexander was pursued to Hender-
son and shot at several times before
caught, and the watch stolen from
the house was found under the door
step of the place at which he was ar
rested.
The evidence is strong against
him and he was held without bond.
The Henderson Cleaner says of the
prisoner:
Several of the local policemen
stated that they had seen Alexander
here before. He, however, said' that
he lived in Paducah and had come
to this city three weeks ago. He is
of medium height, unable TO speak
plainly and is medium dark. The
watch he was alleged TO have stolen
from the woman was found under
the doorstep of A. Waller, where he
was found by Chief Negley, it was
identified by the owner. Alexander
denied the theft and said that" Myth"
Clements stole it from the woman
and wore it back to Henderson. He
did not explain how or by whom Il
was placed under Walters door

Dividinu the Work.

Elder E%dgecomb was for many years
pastor OF the Free Baptist Church in
Vienna, Me-, in which town lived a
supplemented man named Perry
Wood.
One hot Sunday in summer the par
o had occasion to admonish some of
his hearers for going to sleep during
the service. The next Sunday, while
the minister was in the midst of his
sermon, he heard something whiz
across the room and strike the wall.
He continued his sermon, but kept one
suspicious eye on the congregation.
Soon he saw the simple-minded Perry,
who was sitting in the stove room in
the ear of the church, rise, take an
apple from his pocket and bring his
arm back preparatory for a throw at
the head of a sleeping deacon.
Perry Wood" exclaimed the irate
parson, you put that apple up, and if
YOU ever throw another one in this
church I'll"
"You hold right on, elder" broke in

preaching and I'll keep them awake.

Helen'S p. s.

Helen had been taught to say her
prayers every night, and the little
prayer beginning, Now I lay me down
to Sleep" was the prayer used. One
day an old friend of the family, "Aun-
tie Benson" came to spend the day,
and on leaving asked Helen to remem-
Der her in he.' prayers. Helen agreed.
That night, after asking that a bless
ing should rest on her mother, father,
grandparents, aunts, %uncles. cousins,
friends, etc, Helen rose from her
knees. She walked across the room,
and jumped into bed. Then like a
shot she jumped out again, sank down
on her knees and exclaimed: "Post.
script, and Auntie Benson!"

We had passed out of the channel
aud were heading southwest bound on
our long voyage to the Pacific. Just
as night fell me of those sudden ac-
cidents occurred which mark the mar
row boundary between life ard death
with the sailor. The mate had sent
a man, Adolf Svendser by name. out
on the jib boom on q minor duty aud
by some means he lost his hold and
fell. Life preservers we're thrown
over but the man seemed to make no
effort to save himself and was drawn
under by the suction Of the vessel and
lost before a boat could be lowered.
the misfortune cast a gloom over the
crew for death is very impressive to
the few men cooped UP between the
rails of a ship. and some OF TIE e.der
sailors began bodirg iil-luck for the
voyage.

ing up and down tie decks during the
dreary hours of the night watch.
When he came aboard at the In.lia
docks l noted a great change in mis-
manner. In place Of the hearty, jovial
man l had known he appeared down
to the water line with trouble. His
face was care-worn and his head
dropped as if he had a cargo of pig
iron slowed on the back of his neck.
During the watches he made no of.
fer of talking and of course a foremost
hand has no business speaking first
to an officer.

voice, drowned people come back.

What Was the Use?

There was one a man who said that
he would show his wife how to clean
house: that he could do it in half the
time and with half the trouble she
could. He would do it, he said. for the
sake lof avoiding the annual upheaval
and disturbance in their home.
And she dared him to do it.
So he pitched in and took up carpets
and beat them, and mopped floors and
washed windows, and busted pictures
and cleaned cupboards-and he fin
ished the work in less than half the
time she tcok to do it.
But it awaited naugM.
For she went all over the house
after he had finished, taking up car
pets and taking down pictures and
clearing out %cupboards, to see if he
had done the work properly.
Even when a reformer accomplishes
anything his accounts have to be aud.
tied.

Cannot Reduce a Rate.

1t is stated in Washington, that
under the Townsend rate bill, If q
rate is fixed by the Commission it
cannot be lowered by a railroad.
Should an emergency arise calling for
a decreased rate, the railroads or
shippers would have to appeal again
to The Commission, there being no
latitude allowed, whatever the cir.
cumstances. Hitherto a maximum
rate has been the rule, but no such
concession is made under the pro-
posed legislation.
