No estimate of the loss of life
from an official source has yet come

to have been in the centre OF the
visitation as no less than 40 negro
soldiers were killed there

Europeans at Kingston, but appar-

A Strange Find.

On the farm of Mr.. r. II. Brown,
about one and half miles belowHart-
ford, on Rough river, some railroad
men, while clearing away shrubbery t
make way for track-laying, found Gu
rious inscription on the face of a
large rock. The surface is rather
oval shaped and is about IS inches In
diameter, whittier than the surrounding
rock and smooth except the letters
and figures thereon. The letters ap-
pear to be engraved, but are not put
in the order of reading, neither do
they make sense. The letters are all
capitals and are as follows: p T
E T s T G Is. Underneath the let
tiers Is small figure 2 and at the
lower right hand side is the date 1898.
Whether there is any significance
about this date or not it is hard to
determine. The engraving looks old,
but is plain. Nobody ever heard of the
rock before and the owners of the
property are ignorant of the origin
of the engraving. The whole affair
is a mystery.
We are indebted to Mr.. B. p. Berry
man for information in regard to this
affair, which is certainly quite inter-
esting

Remarkable Twin Girl Babies.

Evansville, Ind, September T.
Twin girls, with their abdomens and
chests grown together, and with but
one breast bone and one heart, were
born to Mrs. Della HEIDI, wife OF
Bismark HEIDI, at st. Mary's Hospit-
al. The children lived but a few
hours.
Medical annals record nothing like
1t nearer than the famous Siamese
twins, which were bound side to side
by a cord.
The HEIDI babies were born face to
face. They have but one breastbone
between them, but the flesh is Joined
to the sides of each. Between the
front ribs and lying near the breast
bone there is a double heart so join
ed that the children could be separat-
ed only in death.
Each child has separate and COM
plete sets of all the other organs Of
the body. They weighed seven pounds
apiece. A photograph of them was
taken, but the bodies will be inferred
This is the first birth for Mrs. HEIDI
who is but 20 years old.

: Part Of Curfew Law Void.

Judge Birkhead handed down an
opinion last Thursday which holds
unconstitutional that part of the cur
few ordinance which provides that 1t
shall be unlawful for any minor un-
der the age of 20 years to be on or
pass along the street or alleys or 9TH
er places within the limits of said
town from z o'clock p. m. to b
O'Clock a. m. unless going to or from
church or public entertainment. This
decision, however, does not prevent
the enforcement of the clause pro-
yiding that 1t shall be unlawful for
any minor, under the age of twenty
years to play or loiter on any of the
streets or alleys or other public places
in the town of Beaver Dam, Ky, be-
tween the hours of z o'clock p. m.

Great advantage Of attending a small

R. BROADNAX GLENN
Mentioned as Candidate
For the Presidency.
DEMOCRAT Who DOES THINGS
A Man of Ability and Attain
mentS. Popular With
The People.

Among those who are being discuss
ed as likely to be considered for the
Democratic nomination for President
is Robert Broadnax Glenn, Governor of
North Carolina, who has become prom
inently before the country within the
past month or two by reason of his
controversy with Judge Pritchard ov-
er the enforcement of the North Caro-
lima railroad rate laws. He was born
on a farm in Rockingham county, N.
c.. in August, 1854. and is member
of distinguished family, and receiv-
ed a classical education. Having spen5
three years at Davidson College, and
two years at the University of Virgin
la, he began the study of the law in
1875, under Judge Richmond Pearson.
In 1877 he was admitted to the bar,
and soon afterwards married, and
settled at Danbury, in Stokes county,
where he practiced his profession for
seven years. He then moved to Win
ston, and formed a partnership with
Clement Manly. In 1881 he was sent
to the State Legislature. In 1885 he
was elected Solicitor of the Ninth
Judicial District of North Carolina;
and In 1898, he was appointed by
President Cleveland to the office of
District Attorney for the Western Dis
trict of North Carolina. In 1894 he
was elected Governor of the State.
He was Cleveland elector in 1884,
1888 and 1892. He is regarded as a
great lawyer and is devoted to his
profession. He has never been a can
didate for Congress.
AS Governor Glenn succeeded in
compelling the Southern Railway to
obey the laws of North Carolina, in
spite of the interference of the for
mer attorney of that corporation, who
is now a Federal Circuit Judge, he ha
won the plaudits of all men who ia
vor a stricter regulation of railroads,
and that alone would make him an
available Democratic candidate for any
position that his countrymen may Sc
lect him for.

BOOMING McCREARY
$For the Nomination for
Vice President.
NAME INSPIRES CONFIDENCE
KentuckianS for Him = Say
He Would Strengthen
National Ticket.

The announcement that William
Jennings Bryan will make six speeches
in Kentucky for the State Democrat
lie ticket has renewed the suggestions
heard from time to time that in the
event he is again nominated for the
Presidency by the National Democra-
cy nothing could be more in harmony
with the natural order of things than
that a Southern Democratic leader
should be chosen as his running mate.
The name OF Senator James b. Nc
jCreary is the one that prominent lead
ers throughout the Commonwealth are
pointing to as the most suitable for
the honor. That the Senator would
prove a most popular candidate and
could at once command the support
of the solid South, is not doubted by
those who have taken the time to in
vestigate political conditions.
' With years of faithful service for
the Democracy forming a brilliant rec
ord behind him, the greater portion of
which has been spent In elaboration
of questions of national statesman
ship, 1t is believed by those who are
suggesting Senator McCreary for the
Democratic Vice Presidential nomina-
ton that it were indeed mete that as
browning achievement he be tender
ed the honor Of representing the solid
South on the national ticket as run
ming mate with the great Nebraskan.
Friends of Senator McCreary say
that although he has maintained a
dignified silence concerning State and
national issues during the past several
months, the interview which he gave
to the press during his recent visit
to washington is indicative of the fact
that he is keeping In close touch with
the trend of events. In this interview
he predicts the election of the entire
Democratic ticket in the State, and his
friends say they believe that If he
felt that the Democracy of his State
would be solidly behind him and Is
DESTROYS of seeing him the Democratic
candidate for Vice President, he would
consent to offer his name and enter
the fight before the next National
Convention for the honor.
