, une. under the title, Floating Coffins
Beneath the Edgware Church.
DIR. Tristram, X. c., chancellor Of
the diocese of London, held a consis-
tory court yesterday for the purpose
of hearing an application for faculty
to determine an order in council,
granted last June directing the re-
moval of collins containing human re-
mains which are buried beneath the
parish house of Edgware. The petit
tion was presented by the rector, the
Rev Hubert Phelps, and the church
wardens.
Mr. SaIter who appeared on behalf
of the church authorities, said the
lcoffins were not surrounded with
earth, but were buried in water to a
depth of six feet. A local government
board inspector has inspected the
place and has presented report which
has resulted in the order in council
being made.
The chancellor How many bodies
are there?
Mr.. Salter-So far as the known per-
sons go, there are nine bodies, but
there are more which cannot be traced.
He added that the relatives of one
person (Sarah TenteD buried in the
church in 1880, still lived in Edgware
and offered no objection to the removal
of the body. No objections were Of
ifered by the relatives of any other
dead persons.
The rector gave evidence In support
Of the petitions. He said some of the
graves had been opened and the coffins
were found to be floating in water.
The Chancellor-Have you noticed
any unpleasant odor?
No, but in the hottest weather
have noticed how uncomfortably damp
the stone flooring has got, and we
have had them covered with mating
The rector added that all along the
| center aisle on both sides the coffins
were thiclSly placed. 1t was proposed
to remove them to the churchyard
which was recently added to the
church. Some of the inscriptions
were readible and some were not.
The rector's warden said the in
spection revealed beneath the chancel

slush and decayed bones. The church
was very damp, and there was a most
unpleasant odor in the gallery always

| II think there are bodies under the
holy table" He found graves right up
to the steps of the table. 1t would be
desirable to take out the whole of the
clay beneath the church. 1t is per-
meated with this water and slime.
A report last week to the district
medical officer of health was handed
in. In this he said. Il am of the
opinion that the present state of tn
church is unsanitary and danger to
health and I strongly recommend that
it be closed at once"
The chancellor decreed the faculty to
issue an order authorizing the perfor-
nance of the order of council for tn
removal of the bodies. and he ordered
the church to be closed at once for
divine worship.

But Never Came Away--N0 Sham
Goes Here.

On Thursday morning w. H.
Wyatt, aged possibly IS years,
who lives in Towards Mill neigh
borhood, went to the home OF
Simon Hedges in Bath county.
He never came away. From
about s to IL o'clock he lay dead
on the floor of Mrs. Hedges bed
room with the contents of a shot
gun through his heart, fired by
the husband of Mrs. Hedges.
We do not care to give rumors,
and as we have not heard of
Hedges trial after promptly sur
rendering, we will only say that
judging from what we have heard
of facts and appearances, and what
we know of the sacredness and
inviol ability of a home, if ever a
man deserved killing, he got his
due. The burial was on Satur-
day. See editorial.

Petition Withdrawn for Local

On Saturday the petition for a
local option election in Win
chester filed in the County Court,
was withdrawn. Some of the
petitioners desired that the drug
stores be exempted from the oper-

sell liquor for medical purposes.
A meeting of the local option
committee was held Saturday night
at which it was decided to stand by
the petition as originally filed.
Another meeting was held
Sunday afternoon and it was de-
cided TO let the drug stores sell.

LOUISVILLE BARBECUE.

Recently much has been said iii
the daily press about the great
Democratic barbecue in Louis
vile, which is TO open the CAM
paign, and about the thousands of
Democrats out in the State who
are enthusiastic over the Louis
vile ticket and are anxious to join
hands with the Democrats Of Lou
isville to redeem both the CITY of
Louisville and Kentucky from Re-
publican rule. The thought is ex-
pressed that if Louisville is first
carried by Democrats then the
State ticket is surer of success.
The object of chief concern
should be: Not to red ee m
Louisville from Republican rule,
but TO save Louisville and Ken
lucky from the disgrace and hu-
initiation which attended Demo
cratic methods in Louisville prior
to and in 1905. If Democrats will
do this there is hope for the party
in Louisville.
We are interested in the well
fare of Kentucky, and we know
that, as long as tactics similar to
those used in Louisville some
years ago are resorted to by either
Democrats or Republicans in any
city or State. there should be an
unm;sty' repent

former adherents.
At the time these exposures
were made and the elected DEM
ocrats deposed, we stated IN
print. that if we had been a resi-
dent of Louisville we would have
voted the Republican ticket at the
next election. Such a declaration
by a Republican or a Democrat
concerning his party may be re-
garded by party leaders rs unwlSe'

Tobacco Meeting.

The announcement that Judge
Ed G. O'Rear would speak at the
Court House on last Saturday on
on some phase of the to =
bacco question drew many town
and country people to hear him.
He failed to come, but in his place
were Mr.. Clarence Lebus, and
Miss Alice Lloyd, who have been
prominent in perfecting the plans
of the Burley organization and
effecting sale of the pooled crops.
We did not hear Miss Lloyd and
only a part of Mr.. Lebus's speech.
He was greeted with applause as
he considered various phases of
the work done and yet to be done
by the organization. He is COM
petent, captivating and tireless
worker. Dir. j. A. Bohannan, a
banker, many years ago of our
city, was also present to aid in the
work.

THE INVADER OF HOME.

In another column is an article:
He Went But Never Came
Away" Judging from what we
have heard about social conditions
Gin spots in Montgomery county
and Mt. Sterling for a few years
past we think there has been need
of an object lesson in the final out
working OF sin so far as this life
is concerned.
The man, who by his blandish-
ments, favors, persuasionS, prom
ises, ETC., invades the sanctity of
another mans home and despoils
it of the mutual confidence, love
and virtue which should exist be-
tween husband and wife, however
humble that home, is a criminal,
an enemy of God and man, and
deserves neither social standing or
business prestige. Next to a
mans relation individually to his
God there is no tie more sacred,
no relation more eudearing than
that of the home, where husband
and wife should each strive to
make it ideal.
The invader of a home who thus
destroys it is a reprobate, and the
world loses but little when he is
gone.
Innocense may tremble in his
presence. The curtain has drop
on the life OF this man. It's tragic
ending, while it may have revealed
to the immediate neighborhood no
secret, gives greater publicity to
infamy and veriGes the statement
that the wages of sin is death.
