Meet Death in Chaplin River In
Boyle County.
RtSCUtRS REACH SCENE TOO
LATE TO SAVE THEIR LIVES.
Minister Was Missionary Con-
ference Secretary of the NJ.
f. Church, South, and One
of the Best Known Workers
in Kentucky.
A Danville dispatch says:

Rev. Francis NJ. Hill and his
wife were drowned in Chaplin
river, just below Perryville, on
Tuesday afternoon, September 20.
Their bodies were discovered
thirty minutes later.
The drownings of the Rev. Mr..
Hill and his bride are as strange
as any ever recorded in Kentucky.
The mare which the Rev. Mr.. Hill
and wife drove to the hole was
found under ten feet of water still
harnessed to the surrey, in which
sat Mrs. Hill. Near at hand, tan
gled in the reins at the bottom of
the deep hole was discovered the
body of the pastor. The wheels
of the vehicle rested on the sandy
bed of the river.
Either the animal became fright
ened while drinking and plunged
into the river or the bed of the
river gave way beneath her feet
and she sank in, drawing the sur
rey after her.
Cries were heard for quarter
of mile, although no one saw the
accident. Probably Mr.. Hill was
on the bank when the horse and
surrey disappeared beneath the
stream. The cries were heard by
a negro boy. After calling fol
help the Rev. Mr.. Hill is thought
to have jumped into the river to
rescue his bride from the vehicle.
Becoming tangled in the reins, he
never reached his wife's side.
Three men had heard the first
ciics and arrived shortly after the
negro boy. They had seen the
pastor and his bride drive down tc
| the waters edge.
/ One would dive and then an.
other. In few minutes the body
of the pastors bride was removed
from the seat of the surrey. soon
the body of the pastor himself had
been recovered.
Mr.. Hill and his bride, who was
Miss Margaret BeIlwood, of Shell
BY county, returned home from
Louisville Tuesday morning at lC
o'clock. They had been married
in Louisville Saturday night and
remained until Monday morning.
On arriving here at the home OF
his parents, Mr.. Hill and his bride
spent the first day. Tuesday they
decided to drive through the coun.
try. They were on their way
! nome when Mr.. Hill is thought to
have stopped the horse to water
| it at the sinkhole near the Chaplin
mills.
The burial was at PerryvillC
Wednesday afternoon.
Rev. Hill was about forty years
of age and was one of the mos,
prominent and successful member,
of the Kentucky Conference of tn,
Nj. +. Church, South.
His wedding of Saturday was
his second marriage, his first wife
being Miss Effie Cooley, daugh,
ter of the noted evangelist, DR.
W. b. Cooley, who died three
years ago.

GOVERNOR RETURNS
 FROM THE CAPITAL
Nothing Startling 10 Disclose, Has Ex- perienced No Change of Heart and IS Even Stronger Than Ever in His Earlier Convictions.

Governor Kibbey returned home yes national capital and his former home in Richmond Indiana. The visit was brief in both places. The trip to Washington was for q general confer ence on matters territorial political and otherwise. He Of course met the president and heads of various de- partments. saw the territorial dele gate, Uncle Joe Cannon and a score of other dignitaries.
 The governor has nothing to impart contradictory to his previously stated attitude on the various questions of the day or his convictions as to what is likely to happen in the impending future. Concerning the identity of Ihe gentleman to be nominated as the next republican standard bearer. the governor said that he believed il would be Taft beyond any question. Con- tinuing he said he did not make that statement as the result of any con ference with the president or his ad Visers who would say that of course. but took his cue from his conversation
  his journey.
 Concerning statehood he said the president reiterated that he was heart lily iE favor of single statehood and his attitude made impossible any fur ther joint statehood agitation. The governor asked if lie had anything new to say regarding irrigation or any of the other matters in which this terri tory is interested. as the result of his visit He replied that there was not. He said there was a bill pending de- signed to make the Carey act appli- cable to Arizona but il is not probable that it will be passed this session. The governor said though that there was strong likelihood that an appropria- tiCn would be made for d federal building in Phoenix unless congress should be suddenly seized with fit of economy" and decline to make ap- propriations of that sort. Concerning the work of congress in general he said there is a disposition among the members to do nothing only what has to be done to keep the governmental machinery moving. This however IS only characteristic, he said, of the us- nal attitude of congress preceding general campaign.
