KILLED BY train.
Robt.Ransom, Formerly Ofthis County,
Killed Near CatlettsbuTg.

Mr.. Robert Ransom, who some
years ago lived on the waters OF
Two Mile creek, about two and a
half miles from this city, was kill
ed by G. and o. train, near Nor
NAL, on Monday last. His son, Thad-
deus, who owns and operates the
farm where his father lived prior to
his removal from this county, re-
ceived the sad intelligence of his
fathers death shortly after it oc-
CURED and Immediately went to Nor
NAL. !.
The following from the Ashland
Independent will interest the many
friends and acquaintance of Mr..
Ransom in this section:
Robert Ransom, aged 68 years,
who for the past nine years has
made his home in this vicinity, was
struck by freight train at Keyes
Crossing Monday evening at 5:42
O'Clock, and SO badly injured that
he died at O'Clock at the Kings
Daughters hospital, where he was
removed, following the accident.
The unfortunate man was injur-
ed internally and his right hip was
badly crushed.
The unfortunate man, who made
his home with Peter Golden, of
Normal, was waiting to see Deputy
Sheriff Geiger drive along to his
home at Catlettsburg in order that
he might pay his taxes, and had
started across the C.. & o. tracks to
the road when he stepped directly
in front of the Bull dog freight,
which runs between Russell and
Huntington, and which was coming
west. Two men who were near the
crossing saw the aged mans danger
and called to him, but he was evi-
IDENTIFY in deep study, as he apparent
ly did not hear them or the ap-
preaching train.
The train was stopped as quickly
as possible, and Ransom placed
aboard the train and brought to the
9, and o. depot here, where he was
met and taken to the Kings Daugh-
ters' hospital, where he died soon
afterwards.
Ransom. who was a cattle dealer
and real estate agent, leaves sew

80 YEARS OF Ace.
Congratulations Of Relatives Extended
to Mrs. Nancy Billups on Birthday.

The comfortable home of Mrs.
Nancy Billups, of this city, was the
scene of festigity and rejoicing on
Wednesday evening last. the oc-
casion being the celebration of the
eightieth anniversary of her birth.
The venerable and highly respected
lady was much surprised when she
discovered that her natal day was
to be observed in any particular
way, her only daughter, Mrs. John
Cummins, who for many years has
been her aged parents devoted com
panion and helper, had, with the
aid and connivance of some other
kin. managed to keep Aunt Nancy
profoundly ignorant Of what was go
ing to happen. A goodly number, all
of whom excepting three or four
were related to Mrs. Billups by
blood or marriage, assembled to
greet their friend and relative, all
bringing some token of love and
esteem, all rendering congratula-
tions and wishing for her who was
rounded out her four score years
many additional years of happy life,
An hour or more was spent in ami
mated conversation, much of it re-
miniscent, and in apt story and
playful jest, much of which was
inspired by the occasion which had
brought so many together. While
this was going on in the reception
room about a dozen of the smaller
fry were making merry in the up
per rooms-noisy but not boisterous
enjoying themselves after the man
ner of their kind, and probably
impatiently waiting for the coming
of the goodies which did come in
delightful abundance and quality.
The grown ups were called into the
dining room about eight O'Clock, |
where most delicious course of
chicken salad, cake. cream and cof-
fee was served. In the center of the
table was the regulation birthday
cake, with its proper number of
candles. At the end of
the feast these were lighted and
greatly admired. Then after renewed,

HEAVY Loss BY FIRE.
Louisa Canning Factory and Planning
Mill Destroyed.

On Sunday night last the build
ing and plant of the Louisa Can
ming Co.. including the machinery
of the Louisa planning mill, the prop
erty OF Augustus Snyder, of this
city, was entirely destroyed by fire,
nothing whatever being saved. 1t
was eleven O'Clock when the first
alarm was made, and by the time
help arrived the building and a largl
amount OF valuable lumber were
wrapped in flames. The building, a
large two-story frame. was located
In the lower end of Louisa, near
the tracks OF the G. and o. rail-
road All possible effort was made
to save the lumber stacked about
the mill, but the intense heat pre-
vented anything OF this kind being
done. There is fire plug or hy-
drant near the U. S. Engineer office
but II was, from some reason, not
used ON this occasion. Most of the
lumber was high grade, well seas
oned stuff, particularly well adapt
ed to inside use. A considerable "a
mount OF 1t was black walnut, wood
now almost priceless Lee Sipple, of
Fort Gay, owned some OF the lum-
Der. Mr. Snyder's loss in lumber, ma
chinery, etc, will approximate
$4,000, The building and the canning
machinery and the ground on which
the plant stood were the property
of the Louisa Canning Co., and rep
resented an investment of $4,000
The canning machinery and fix
lures had been moved to the second
story in order to make room for the
planning mill. There was no insur-
ance on any of the property which
was burned.
The only evidence as to the or
igin of the fire indicates that 1t was
started by cinders from locomo-
tive. There had been no fire in the
building for two or three days. The
building is quite near the railroad.
A train had passed about half an
hour before the blaze was seen, pull
Ing very hard and throwing out
large sparks. The destruction of the
planning mill is decided loss to
this section. Its output was good
work and was in much demand.

Gov. McCreary was compelled last
Saturday to cancel the visit which
he had hoped to make to Louisa
on Friday or Saturday of this week,
in response 10 invitations rom the
County Fair and the X. N. G. The
United States Court fixed those
days to take up the most important
matter now before the State-the
valuation of the railroads, and the
Governor felt that he could not af-
ford to be absent.
He promises to come to Louisa
later to assist in an educational
rally From his letters to the Ken
lucky Normal College and the Off
cials of the Fair we take the fol-
lowing: 81 had sincerely hoped to
be able to go to Louisa on the
ninth, tenth or eleventh of October,
but our United States Court, which
has been in session here for two
weeks, in one of it's last orders con-
tinued the four important railroad
cases in which the State is a party
and which involves about $4OO, ,OOO.-

CUFF WELLMAN dead.
Passing Of a Popular Travelling Sales
man Of CatlettsbuTg.

William McGuffy C"Guff'D Well
man, prominent citizen of Catletts-
burg, died in that city on Saturday
last and was buried in the Ashland
cemetery on the following Monday.
He is survived by a widow and two
children, son and daughter. His
wife was Miss May Goble, daugh-
ter of Mr., and Mrs. Mont Goble, and
was born and grew to womanhood
in this city. The daughter is Mrs.
Curtis Montague, of Ashland, and
the son is Montraville Wellman, of
New York. Mr.. Wellman was "a
years old. About year ago he had
a long siege of typhoid fever, being
desperately i'll. So long did he be-
come that at one time he was re-
ported dead. From the effects of
this protracted illness he never full
ly recovered. He was never himself
again, and 1t is said that his de-
mise was the result, partly, of the
previous sickness.
Mr. Wellman was a travelling
hardware salesman, and none knew
the business better or was more
popular than he. He was genial and
companionable, and his death in
the prime of life is deeply regret
ed by large circle of relatives and

such tools as you may deem neces-
sary and teams as they may provide.
Each person should be requested to
bring his lunch since the hours are
from eight In the morning until five
in the afternoon.
At this season Of the year 1t Is
not advisable to attempt placing
loose dirt upon the earth roads un-
less arrangements can be made to
have the split log drag used dur
ing the fall and winter, but great
deal OF good can beaccomplished by
opening the bitches and cleaning the
shoulders of all rubbish and surplus
dirt that retard the flow of water
toward the bitches. The earth from
the bitches and shoulders should be
thrown on the opposite side of the
bitches from the road or hauled and
dumped over the edge Of the fills,
with the view of widening them. All
weeds and underground OF every
description should be cleared from
the ground between the fences and
the bitches and all rubbish piled
and burned or removed entirely
from the right OF way. All oyerhang-
ing limbs and obstructing trees
should be removed to permit the
free passage of light vehicles and
heavily loaded wagons,

Notorious Criminal Of This CountyShOt
in EddyYille Prison.

Eddyville, KY, Oct. 3.-C.C Jones
foreman in the Kentucky Whip &
Collar Company at the penitentiary,
this morning shot Claude Segraves,
an unruly convict who was attempt-
ing his life with a knife. Jones
had reported Segraves to the guard
for cursing him and some time af-
terward Segraves, who ran ma
chine, ran up behind him with
monkey-wrench. AS Jones wheeled
to protect himself he saw Segraves
coming at him with drawn knife
and pulled his pistol and shot down
through the floor to stop him, and
when that failed shot him through
the left shoulder. The wound is
bad one, as the bullet ranged to-
ward the heart, and It is feared
1t will result fatally.
