DEPENDS UPON WEATHER
Mr.. ]. w. Fisher Of the Unaka
Tannery is Offering the Town
Relief and States That Power
Can be Furnished From Tan
merry Plant Within a Period of
Three Weeks.

Newport in total darkness, is watch
ing with interest the weather, for it is
said that upon the condition of the
weather depends the possibility of an
early resumption of the power.
The town Is suffering much incon-
venience as a result of the destroying
of the middle portion of the dam.
Meas barber shop and the Taylo;
Grocery company, are putting in gas
plants, and other business houses, it is
claiT,d, are planning the installation
of such q system.
A. E. Sparks, general manager Of
the Newport Mill company states shat
the Golfer dam which Is being con
structed now is being made permanent
with the idea of enabling the mill to
resume operations i'm about ten days,
but this will depend entirely upon the
condition of the river.
1t had been generally stated that 1t
would be long time before the town
would be able to secure lights, and
In view of this general report, Mr.. J..
w. Fisher of the Unaka tannery was
seen and he offered to relieve the en-
barrassment Of the Newport Mill COM
pany and the town as well by connect
ing the wires of the Newport Mill
company with those of the tannery.
Mr.. Fisher stated that he would be in
q position to furnish the town twenty
four hour service within a period of
three weeks, and the wires of the tan
merry would extend to the Fisher resi-
dence, just across the river from the
wires of the Newport Mill company.
The tannery is installing complete
lighting plant, 200 horse power cross
compound engine furnishing the pow
er, and there will be power enough to
light the whole town as well as to run
the machinery of the tannery.

PAROLE Law
TO Be REVIVED
Gov. Hooper Expects to Dem
onstrate Value Of the
System.

The conditional pardon law which
Gov. Hooper proposes to revive in or
der to carry out his ideas for the es-
tablishment of parole system for the
benefit OF certain class of convicts,
was freely discussed in legislative cir
cles and by the Nashville newspapers
last winter, at which time, at the re-
quest of the Governor, the States At
torney submitted an opinion holding
the statute valid and In force. This
old law, enacted nearly seventy years
ago, is as follows:
The Governor may grant pardons
upon such conditions and with such
restrictions and limitations as he may
deem proper, and may issue his war
rants to all proper officials to carry in-
to effect such conditional pardon.
"Such warrants should be returned
by the officer, after executing the same,
with his endorsement of his action, to
the Secretary of State, to be filed with
the other papers"
Gov. Hooper thinks by the use of
this law he will be abs to demonstrate
to the next General Assembly the wis
dom of his recommendation for a par
ole law, and on this subjuct he says:
81 do not believe that the wisdom
and practicability Of the indetermin-
ate sentence and parole system can be
successfully questioned, and intend
to continue to agitate these two mat
ters of legislation until the good peo-
pie of this state, regardless of politics,
will demand their enactment. Mean
while there being no parole officer. it
will be necessary for me to find in
each instance under the operation OF
the old law, some officers of the law,
some director of the Y. M. e. A., OF
other local citizen, who will agree to
take enough interest in the paroled
| man to make periodical reports to me
of his whereabouts and conduct. As
matter of course prisoner thus con-
dilionaliy pardoned would he required
to report for himself at least once q
month.
AL these conditions would necessarily
be written into the face of the parole
with the stipulation that sclemency
was excepted solely upon said condlti
ons.n

OF HEART DISEASE
Famous Banker and Publisher
Dies After Nine Days Release
From Ft. LeavenwOrth.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-John r. Walsh,
former banker, publisher and railroad
owner, released week ago from the
I4eavenworth federal prison, died to-
day of heart disease.
Mr.. Walsh had been in bed most of
the time since his arrival bere from
Leavenworth, Oct. Is. He had been
attended constantly by physicians.
Intermittent reports of Mr.. Walsh's
failing health during his incarceration
had been denied at the penitentiary.
On his release 1t was plain that he had
aged, and he gave up plans for resump-
tion of his position as financial lead
or and took to his bed.
Mr.. Walsh was "A years old. Death
came just nine days after his release on
parole from the federal penitentiary,
where he had been on charges of mis-
appropriating the funds of the bank to
the use Of other enterprises.
Mr.. Walsh's health failed soon after
his entrance to the penitentiary. An
immediate movement to have his re.
lease on parole was begun by members
of his family, Mrs. Mary L. Walsh
and his two sons, Richard w. Walsh
At the time the examining physician
at the penitentiary said Mr.. Walsh
was suffering with hardening of the
arterties.
After his release Mr.. Walsh was
thought to have been still further
weakened by long, cold automobile
ride from the prison to Kansas City
When he arrived home on the morn
ing of. Oct. Is, Mr.. Walsh was SO III
and weak that he went to bed at once
and remained there until his death.

FIRST ACCIDENT
OF CONSEQUENCE

The accident that occurred Friday
morning on the Knoxville & Bristol
railway, at Crosby, six miles from
Morristown, in which some fifteen per-
sons were more or less injured, was the
first accident of serious nature that has
ever occurred on that line, during It's
twenty two years of operation,
The line, which extends from Knox
Vile 10 Morristown, via Corryton, "a
distance Of some fifty-six miles was
built in 1889, and although 1t has al
ways done heavy business, both pass
enger and freight, there has never been
person killed on it, and until Friday
there had been very few persons injur-
ed in any way.
For many years the. road was in
charge of III. nj. Aiken, superintendent
and general manager of the Knoxville
water works commission, Mr.. Aiken
being superintendent Of the line, but
some few years ago it was put under
the same management with the Knox
vile & Augusta railway and w. P
Hood became superintendent, which
Office he still holds.
Although several passengers were in
jured in the derailment Friday, when
day coach turned over and rolled
down on embankment, all will recover
The large majority were but slightly
hurt although badly shaken.

MRS. NANCY WEAVER
DIES AT SONS HOME

Death has called to a last resting
place another one of the aged citizens
of Cooke county, and the friends of
Mrs. Nancy Weaver will see her cheer
full countenance no more. The death
angel made It's appearance last Friday
and ended her suffering Of several
months. The deceased was born
October, 8, 1882 and was therefore 70
years Of age. She was the next to the
oi,iest Of large family Of children but
all had preceded her in death.
Mrs. Weaver was the mother of Pike
Commissioner John Weaver and death
Game to her at the home of her son, in
what is known as Weaver's cove, a
mile across the river from Denton.
She was the widow of the late William
Thomas Weaver, whose death was re-
corded August 10, 1903. Six Of the
eleven children survive and they are
as follows: John, WIN and Abraham
and Mrs. Mary Waters, Mrs. Matte
Williams of Maryville and Miss Lulu
Weaver.
The funeral services were held at
the home where she died and inter-
ment was made in the family burying
grounds, Rev. J. w. O'Hara of New
port, officiating. The deceased was a
life long member of the Christian
church.
Mrs. Weaver was daughter of the
Russell Allen, whose brother Capt. Ed
Allen was killed in the battle of Muir
freesboro. She came of sturdy stock,
her grandfather Jack Allen having
been one of the pioneer settlers of the
Cosby section, and he built the large
brick house at the mouth of the Cosby
creek which was famed for years.
This house, it has sometimes been said,
was the first brick house in this section
ofthe country. He was a brickmason
by occupation and built the first Cooke
county courthouse at Oldtown. Her
father made the trip to Texas and back
with his family in wagon train, and
it has been said that he was so CAREFUL
with his teams that he used but one
team going and coming.
Mrs. Weaver was not one of the
family making the trip as she had in
the meantime become the wife of Will
liam Thomas Weaver, the ceremony
having been performed III 1850. When
the call for arms came, Mr.. Wea yer re-
sponded and became member of the
company OF Capt. A. L. Minis.
Throughout the long vigil of the war,
! Mrs. Weaver sat at her fireside and
her strength of character was great
comfort for her children during that
trying period.
Since the death of her husband she
has resided with her son, John Weav-
er, and her death is sincerely mourned
by host OF fr lends and relatives.
