BY TRAIN
Huntingdon Shocked rlonday by the
Sudden and Horrible Death of
Hiss Viola Dunn


school teacher was on the train
that killed his sister, on his way to
Martin. When the train stopped,
with the other passengers, he got
off to learn about the accident and
it was some little time before he
discovered that the unfortunate
girl was his own sister, as in fall
ing one hand was partly thrown
over her face.
Mrs. Erwin Vawter, in whose
home Miss Dunn spent last year
while here in school, was among
the first at the scene of the sad ac-
cident and was the first to recog-
nize the dead girl as Miss Dunn.
At the suggestion of Mrs. Vawter,
the remains wete carried to her
home and tenderly prepared for
burial.
In the afternoon the remains
were carried to her home in the
Twelfth district, the church bells
of Huntingdon sadly tolling as
the hearse passed through the
town. Tuesday afternoon at 1870
funeral services we're conducted at
Palmer's Shelter, the church of
which she was a member, by her
pastor, Rev. Richie, after which
came the interment at the burying
ground.
The sad going out of this beau
tiful young life in such dreadful
way cast a gloom over all Hunt
ingdon and the community in
which she was reared, and all
hearts went out in sympathy to
the grief stricken family.

LEGISLATIVE DOINGS
The Extra Session is Drawing to
Close.

There has been hot times in the
Tennessee legislature this week.
There is hardly a session that is
not characterized by sensational
and supplementary proceedings.
The extra session was called for
the purpose Of passing an appro-
priation bill and number of other
acts embodied in the Governors
call. An appropriation bill was
prepared and passed similar to the
one vetoed by the Governor dur
ing the regular session, and when
this bill came to the Governor he
sent it back with his dlsapproval.
The bill was passed over his veto,
and if the Governors statements
about the bill are correct, it calls
for more money than the revenue
of the state provides for.
The Governors bills, known as
Acknowledgement bills, have caused
much trouble in both houses. All
but one of them were killed, and
at this writing, Wednesday, the
Nuisance bill is up for considera-
ton ia the House. The bill has
passed the Senate and the last two
or three days have been spent BY
the regulars trying to prevent the
passage of the bill in the House.
Some very ugly scenes were en-
acted in the house Tuesday, in
fammatory speeches were made
and proceedings enacted, wholly
dhparliamentary, if not indecent.
1t was charged by regulars that
Gov. Hooper and fusionists had
brought to the House penitentiary
guards and had them placed in the
Office of the superintendent of the
capitol for the purpose of forcing
the passage of the law. 1t was
countercharged by fusionists that
a large number of detectives and
deputy sheriffS and other David
son county gunner had surround
ed the members Of the legislature
to intimidate the advocates of law
enforcement and that they had
been there an hour or more before
the others appeared.
The bill would have passed
Tuesday, it is claimed, if the
speaker had not arbitrarily de-
clared the House adjourned,
The vote in the House on the
passage of the appropriation bill
over the Governors veto was SO
to 81.
The legislature has voted them
selves pay for the extra session
and the time under the law to re-
ceive pay expires Saturday, and it
ispresumed tomorrow will end
the extra session.

Morrison was employed as chauffeur.
