Death Of Well known Citizen at 81
Years Of Age.

Marquis de Lafayette Burns died
at his home near Culbertson, Boyd
bounty, Ky, last Sunday night, his
death being occasioned by a COM
plication of afflictions incident to
old age. He was born January 26,
1882, and hence was 81 years and
one month old at his death. He
was a son of Rowland and Catherine
Burns whose family consisted of
eleven children, eight sons and three
daughters, all of whom are now
gone from earth ecept the writer
of this memoriam-th youngest, Id
fayette being the next youngest and
hence was the playmate of the write
hereof, and all the sweet and pleas
ant memories of "childhood's happy
hours" are associated with him. As
write my heart is filled with these
happy recollections. He was born,
lived and died upon farm adjoin-
ing the old Burns homestead (more
recently known as the John Powers
farm where he was born and grew
to manhood. He was highly gifted
intellectually, and was widely and
well informed, but never had any
professional or political ambitions,
preferring to lead quiet Christian
life on his beautiful bluegrass farm.
He belonged to the class of men
described in Gray's Elegy who

a life is marked by constant piety
and true godliness, as was the life
of my playmate brother. For over

AN Interesting Case.
Court Of Appeals Decides Against Local
CoIoTed Men.

Frankfort, Ky.-Jesse Walker, a
negro, falls heir to 800 acres of Ian,
and several hundred dollars in pers-
onai property through decision OF
the Court of Appeals reversing the
Elliott Circuit Court and establish
ing his relationship TO Richard Wat
son. thrifty negro bachelor, who
died in December, 1909 intestate
and possessed of this property.
An administrator was appointed
and two sets of claims appeared,
Jesse Walker, who declared Watson
was his brother, and some negroes
named Burgess, who made the same
allegation as to their relationship to
the deceased.
The Elliott Circuit Court declared
that neither set of claimants had es-
tablished their relationship, and on
appeal 1t was sustained as to the
Burgesses, but left open the ques-
tion as to Walker. Walker proved
that both he and Richard Watson
were the children of slaves owned
by John Walker, who lived on
Troublesome creek, in Knott coun-
ty. The parents and all the chill
dren we're sold off and carried away
in 184S, excepting Jesse and Bill.
and Jesse was given to Walkers
son. Alex was taken to Carter coun-
ty.
Abou- five years ago he saw his
mother in Tennessee, and she told
him his brother Richard had been
carried into Virginia and then
bought by Fred Moore or Bob Bates
and taken to Carter county, where
he was living with Rolla Watson.
This was substantiated by various
witnesses, and the Court of Appeals
directed judgment establishing his
kinship, adding that before the
estate is distributed other heirs. If
any are living, be brought before thu
court.
When this suit was begun In FL
lott county the fact was noted in
this paper. One OF the Burgesses
named in the foregoing is Nose
Burgess, a we'll known eolored man
of this city.

A BIC DEAL.
Large Acreage Of Eastern Kentucky
Coal Lands to be Developed.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 4.-Three Gin
cinna.i initial lines-Chesapeake &
Ohio, Norfolk & Western and Louis
vile & Nasville-are vitality interest
ed in the visit of d. A. Thomas, of
Newport, Wales, and T. ]. Callag-
han and w. A. Macknight, all OF
whom sare connected with the Cam
bian coal syndicate, of Wales, to the
Eastern Kentucky coal fields. Mes
srs. Callaghan and Macknight, are
expected in Cincinnati today as they
swung over the Lexington and East
ern division of the l.. and N. yes
terday, and will come to Cincinnati
from Winchester, KY, over the
Knoxville division to Cincinnati for
the last leg of the journey to New
York City.
1t Is expected that deal will be
closed for coal mines situated on
all OF the roads. The Wish syndi-
cate expects to start out with ship
ments of about 100000 tons of
coal per annum to the Atlantic sea-
board for shipment to South Amer
lea. Eventually American coal will
be put in the Mediterranean trade,
as the Welsh coal operators are be-
ginning to realize that black diam
onds from this country constitute
the most serious competition that
their product will have to meet.
| Some idea of the enormous vol
ume Of coal that is wanted from the
beginning can be realized from the
fact cited that 100000 tons near
ly equals the amount of coal sent
through the Cincinnati gateway last
year during the entire coal season.
