BURNED TO DEATH.
Awful Fate of an Aged Woman
Who Had Lived Alone a
Number of Years.
The Greensboro Messenger says:

The Greensboro Messenger says:
Miss Nettie Marshall, about eighty
years old. was burned to death at
her home between Utica and Max
we'll some time Friday, probably
shortly after noon. She was alone in
known how the accident occurred
the house and it is not definitely
but It is supposed that her clothing
caught fire from the CRATE Fer dead
body was found on the floor by J. j.
May. a nephew, who went 10 the
house about 4 o'clock in the after
noon.
Since the death of her parents n
number of years ago, Miss Marshall
had lived alone at the old Marshall
home. For the past several years
she has been feeble, and has bee.
cared for by a negro family, that of
Billie Nichols, who live on the Mar
shall farm. Friday the negroes went
to a birthday party, Nichols wife
leaving the house early in the morn
ing. Nichols stayed about the placy
until about II o'clock. and saw Miss
Marshall shortly before he left.
She was not again seen until late
in the afternoon, when her nephew
went to the house and found her
dead body on the floor, her clothing
in ashes and her body charrcd. A
hole was burned in the floor four or
five feet from the CRATE, evidently
where she had fallen. She had, how
ever, struggled six or eight feet to
point near the door before she eX-
pired.
Miss Marshall is net survived by
any relatives nearer than nephews
and nieces. Several of these live in
Daviess and Ohio counties.

HARRIS GETS TWO YEARS.
OwensbOrO Man Accused of
Arson Gets Verdict in Da-
viess Circuit Court.

The trial of J. A. Harris, on the
charge of attempted arson, was COM
pleted in Circuirt Court at Owens
boro Monday afternoon, but was not
submitted to the jury until yesterday
morning. After a elaboration of an
hour or two, the jury returned a YER
dict OF two years in the penitentiary.
The greensboro Messenger comment
ing on his speech says:
Commonwealth Attorney Ringo,
in closing the argument for the COM
monwealth made one of the most
vigorous speeches of his official ca
reer. The Commonwealth Attorney
went into the Harris trial unconvinc-
ed of the defendants guilt and hop
ing that he would establish his inno-
cence. His argument demonstrated
the fact that the evidence brought
out during the trial convinced the
attorney for the commonwealth so
thoroughly as to inspire him to
make one of the strongest efforts of
his life to secure a conviction.

they seem to try to make this a po-

them If they endorsed the course of

other counties failed to execute the
law" and mention Daviess county as
an example.
Now. understand me, that l am not

of the burden OF taxation. 1t seems
10 me when an officer, whether he be
Democrat or Republican, takes oath
to faithfully discharge the duties of
an office, that 1t is a poor plea in
deed that other officers failed to- and
that excuses them. Again, why should
you think that it should affect the

EMPHATIC WORDS
OF CONGRESSMAN
Used BY Kentuckians at
Washington.
TWO VERSUS TWO IN A SCRAP
Scions From the Empire
State Who Went Back
On Their Party.

The Louisville correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer gives the fol-
lowing interesting story:
A story comes from Washington
relative to two near encounters in
volving two of Kentucky's Represen-
tatives in Congress. 1t is said that
during the squally days following the
was led by Representative Fitzgerald.
bolt against Cannons rules, which
of New York, Fitzgerald approached
Representative Ben Johnson. of the
Fourth district, and prospective can
dl1ate for the Democratic nomination
for GoveMor, and put his hand on
Johnson's shoulder, at the same time
making some remark to johnson. The
story goes that the Kentucky Con-
gresham called Fitzgerald a id
bolter, and told him to take his hand
off his shoulder. IT is claimed that
Fitzgerald then asked Johnson if he
was afraid that he (Fitzgerald)
might become contaminated. Then it
Is said that Johnson called the New
Yorker something which down in Ken
lucky people usually fight about.
Fitzgerald did not resent the Ken
tuckian's statement, however. Later
along it is said that the friends of
both Fitzgerald and Johnson got them
together, and now they are fast
friends again. 1t will be recalled
that Representative James, of Ken
lucky, was a member of the minority
committee appointed to read a lee
ture to the Democrats who left their
party on the question OF the rules.
The story goes that Francis Burton
Harrison, Of New York, made the
statement that while Ollie James was
Il member of the committee. he could
not have secured the place by a vote
of the Democrats in the Kentucky del
egation. James asked Harrison, so
it is said, if he had made the state
ment, whereupon Harrison said he
had, but that he had done so on
the statement of a member of the
Kentucky delegation in whom he had
the fullest confidence. Then it is
said that the big Kentuckian told
Harrison that be had falsified, but
in doing so it is claimed that the
First district man did not use as po-
lite a word. but a much shorter one
Harrison and James later fixed up
their difficulties. Now it is said
that the two New Workers and the
two Kentuckians are getting along
swimmingly, but it is told here that
for a few days some trouble was fear
ed between them by the Democrats
in the House. When here the other
day. Representative James was asked
for a confirmation of the story. He
confessed that be and Johnson had
had trouble with Harrison and Fitz-
gerald but said that the whole mat
ter had been smoothed over and that
everything was all right now.
