The first floor was pretty enough,

POISONED.
TEN PERSONS IN WAYNE COUN
TY NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEATH.

CLIFTON, Tenn, Jan. ia case
Of wholesale poisoning occurred in the
family of Esq. j. D. Helton, residing
two miles from Clifton, Sunday night,
and as result ten persons, embrac-
ing the family of Esq. Helton and
some neighbors, are critically i'll.
Suspicion points very strongly to a
son-in-law of Helton's. He had sepa-
rated from his wife, who is suing him
for divorce, and had made threats to
kill her and the whole Hellon family
Sunday afternoon he was at the Hell
ton home, leaving before supper. He
is suspected of putting arsenic in the
milk and in the flour. All those who
have tasted of the milk or eaten of
the bread made from the -four have
become deathly sick, and physicians
have been working with the victims
all day. Most of them are now out
of danger, but three of them are yet
in critical condition.
The son-in-law has not been seen
since he left the Helton home Sunday
but as soon as he is locat-
ed he will be placed under arrest.

bargains were there, and the ladies
were there; the woman and the oppor-
tunity had met, and they traded
quick and fast-not to say fur
ious. Forty-odd salespeople were
behind the counters; they were
not merely busy, they were rush
ed; but they were patient, polite and
willing, and their customers left load
ed with arms full of bargains. Not
make-believe bargains, but real bar
gains. How the store owners do it, is
/ their business, and their secret; we
do not know, and could not tell if we
knew; but they do it all the same.
The sale will continue all the week,
and if this beautiful weather con-
tinues it is safe to say that the crowds
will also continue, and if the ladies'
of Columbia want to save time and
get waited on promptly they should
get down little earlier than is their
wont.

MURDERS A

THEN TURNING UPON THE AEON.
IZING MOTHER, HE STILLS
HER CRIES AND PLEAD
INGS FOREVER!
A DEMONS WORK.

Last night, in one of Columbia S
modest little cottages, where peace
and happiness has ruled supreme, was
enacted one of the most blood-curdling
crimes in the annals of history, and
in cruelty, and disregard for the heart
rending pleadings of a human heart,
was unsurpassed in it's nature, by any
ever witnessed in life. This morning
the only witness, to this fiendiSh
scene, bore the aspect of a man who
had gone through some trying ordeal,
or suffered great pain, for his look
was care-worn, haggard, and without
hope, and his speech was husky,
while his spirit was down-cast and sad
in the extreme. The poor fellow had
cause to appear thus, for his heart was
filled with the horror of the previous
nights experience, which was not
crime, committed in reality, but was
one of those mean, treacherous tricks,
which his diseased stomach had play
ed upon him, all because of his fail
ure to take that bottle of "MARVINE''
home with him, which that poor stom-
ach had been crying for so long, and
which he has neglected time and
again. Finally his stomach got in such
hopeless and impatient condition,
that the scene related above, was pre-
scented to him, in all of its awful,
heart-rending vividness, and today he
is so grateful for the well-impressed
lesson, that his first act on arising,
was to secure a bottle of that God
send to sick and disordered stomachs
and hearts, "MARVINE," and he is
now feeling well and happy in the as
surance of securing a sweet, restful,
and much needed nights rest tonight,
which we know he will receive. in
abundance. for upon his mantel-piece,
sits that favorite in American homes
''MARVINE." Don't suffer the tor
lures of night mares, and horrible
dreams, when one dose Of MAR
VINE" dispells them all, as by magic,
and makes the nights rest, thing of
pleasant reflection, instead of shud-
der In our hearts. "MARVINE" makes
we'll stomachs, makes joyous spirits,
makes perfect health. For sale by all
drug stores, everywhere, and a free
trial for everybody, for the asking,

FINE SALE OF MULES
F. r. ESTES & SON SELL TWENTY
FIVE HEAD AT AN AVERAGE
OF $3.50.

1t is claimed that all the mule men
of the county have made money the
past year. Mules have been active at
all times and have constantly advanc
ed in price, so that it was almost i'm
possible to buy a mule at a fair price
and sell them without making a fair
profit. Prices are sky high now, and
a sale made last week by F. R. Estes
6 Son is a strong indication of this.
These gentlemen bought load of
young mules in Kentucky some
months since and traded them here in
the county for aged mules and sold
the load-twenty-five-on the local
market for $3.50 around, or $4,75O00,
which is perhaps the best average
price obtained for a full load of mules
here in many months.
This is one of a hundred things
which is making Maury county pros
porous.
Monday was almost like first Mon
day as far as the mule business went
There were many mules offered for
sale and about forty changed hands.
Mr.. J. d. Barrow has received a
load of fine yearling mules from In
diana. He shipped a load of Jersey
cows to Kentucky.
Jack Osborne sold two mules Mon
day for $500, and wasn't trying par
ticularly to sell them either.

M RSHALL FIELD
is DEAD.
WORLDS GREATEST MERCHANT
PRINCE WAS SEVENTY
YEARS OF AGE.

New York, Jan. 16.-Marshall
Field, of Chicago, millionaire mer-
chant and a leader in the dry goods
trade of the world, died at the Hol-
land House, in this city, at 4 o'clock
this afternoon, after an fitness extend
ing over over more than week, be-
ginning with a bad cold and develop
ing quickly into pneumonia, which
affected both lungs.
Man of Great Wealth.
Marshall Field was, without ques-
ton the greatest and most success
full merchant of his generation, and
he was one of the worlds richest
men, his wealth being estimated at
anywhere from $1OO,00O,OOO to $780,
100000. He was a native of Conway,
Mass, where he was born in 1885.
His father was farmer, and Mr..
Field obtained his education in the
public schools of Conway At the age
of seventeen he became a clerk in a
general country store in Pittsfield
Mass, where he remained for four
years. He came to Chicago in 1856,
and began his career in this city as
a clerk in the wholesale dry goods.
establishment of Colley, Wadsworth
& Co. During the four years that he,
remained with this house, he showed
marked commercial ability, and in
1860 he was given a partnership. The,
late Levi 2. Letter was also connect
ed with the firm, and in 1865 the two
young men withdrew, and in company
with Potter Palmer they organized
the firm of Field, Palmer C Letter,
which continued until 1867, when Mr..
Palmer withdrew and the firm be-
came Field, Letter & Co.
Biggest in the World.
This continued until 1881, when Mr..
Letter retired and the firm was
known as Marshall Field & Co., as
it is today. The house forged to the
front very rapidly, and it is now the
largest enterprise of it's kind in the
world, having numerous branches
throughout Europe and Asia. It's re-
markable success is attributed all
most entirely to Mr.. Field and his
methods He made it a rule never
to borrow money and never to issue
a note. He paid cash for everything
he bought, not only in connection
with his dry goods enterprise, but for
all of his dealings in real estate and
in other investments. The great fire
in 1871 was the only reverse ever
experienced by the house of Marshall
Field & Co. Its losses at that time
over $1,000,0O0.
In 1872 the wholesale department
was separated from the retail store
and the later now covers one city

a firm believer in the future of Chi

and to the appreciation of this in
