Alas, Poor Tennessee e!

The political miscarriage which
at present misgoverns the sovereign
State of Tennessee has committed
a high-handed outrage upon law
and justice so as to bring HIM
self and the high office he holds
into ignominious contempt in the
eyes of decent people everywhere.
To prostitute the Office of Govern
or into a clearinghouse for po-
litical obligations is a new and
dangerous departure for the chief
magistrate of Southern State to
essay. The Charleston News and
Courier, in an editorial express
sion denouncing this outrageous
rape of the Goddess of Justice,
aptly sums up as. the whole
affair under the caption, In

Death of q Young Lady.

Johnsonville, April 15:-Lessie,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs R G
Cannon, died on Monday, March SO,
after an illness of about ten days.
She was a bright, attractive and
lovable girl, just on the threshold
of young womanhood, and her death
is sincerely mourned by all who
knew her.
She was a pupil of Johnsonville
High School, having faithfully per-
formed her duties at that instltu-
ton for seven years, and her death
was a great shock to school-mates,
especially her classmates, who knew
her most intimately and to whom
she had greatly endeared herself.
She was a member of the Excelsior
Literary Society, and her loss is
deeply felt among her fellow-mem-
bers of the society, for her presence
added much to the meetings in which
she took part.
The funeral services took place
on Thursday after her death at
Johnsonville church, Rev j L Mullini2
officiating.

Eut alas. and alack! Like the
bar-keeper who falls victim to
the insidious enticement of his own
stock-in-trade, the benevolent Bales
has come to grief by an over-fond-
ness for the matrimonial habit.
Being the dispenser of unlimited
conjugal happiness to others. the
worthy Squire could not resist the
temptation to practice what ne
preached to the extent of defying
the statutory limitation as to the
quota of wives one man is allowed
to have and to hold, and now he is
called upon to face vulgar charge
of bigamy before a York county ju-
ry.
How the mighty are fallen! But

FIRES AT OSSIAN.
Rock Island Stock Yards and Resi-
dence Burn Same Day.

This morning at one o'cock the
people were startled by the ringing
of the fire bell, the alarm being
turned in by Otto Holder, who was
returning from Castalia. The Rock
Island stockyards were one mass OF
flames when the fire company reach
ed the scene, and with nothing but
chemical engines to fight the flames
it was a useless task. A northwest
wind was blowing, which famed tie
flames all the more, and in half an
hour the yards were a mass of ruins
Had the wind been in the east, there
is not the least doubt but that a
goodly portion of the town would
have been swept away by the flames.
This is another warning to the citi-
zens of Ossian and they had better
heed it and make preparations to
install a system of waterworkS. At
the present time, with practically no
fire protection, and hardly enough
water in our wells to water a team
of horses, Ossian would certainly be
up against it" should a fire visit
the town in any portion of the thick
ly settled districts.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but a suspicion turks in some minds
that it was of incendiary origin. At
six-thirty last night a fire was dis
covered in these yards, but the Sec
ton foreman and Agent Hillman ex-
tinguished it before any damage was
done. If the fire was extinguished
thoroughly at six-thirty, then how
did it start again at one o'clock ?
That's the question.
At nine o'clock this morning the
fire bell rang again, this time the
residence of Alice Finnegan being
on fire. The fire company respond
cd promptly, but the chemical ap-
paratus refused to yield promptly,
and bucket brigade was formed to
satisfactory advantage. The fire
started under the rsof, near the
chimney a defective fue undoubt-
eddy being the cause of the confia-
grafton. All the furniture in the
which is occupied by Ned
Vance and family-was carried out
of the building. By this time the
chemicals were put in operation and
the fire eXtinguished. The house
and especially the roof, was badly
damaged, most of the roof having
been torn off to get chance to To-
cite the fire.
The fire company is deserving of
much credit for their heroic work
at both fires, and the citizens, too,
are TO be commended for their part
in the work.
Ossian needs fire protection and
needs it badly too, and good time
to start is right now.-Bee.
