Carefully Collated and Concisely Chronicled. After setting fire to his own house, Cassius Moody, of Madison county, cut his wife’s throat, and committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid. A loss of nearly $5,000 was sustained last week by J. H. Keeling, of Christian county, when his large stock barn was burned, together with a lot of provender, five mules and six blooded colts. The board of trustees of Lincoln In stitute, the offshoot of Berea College for colord students, met in Louisville re cently and decided to locate the school at Simpsonville, about 21 miles from Louisville. No trouble from night riders was found on the farm of Ben Longnecker, in Mason county, and Capt. J. R. Sams, with his six militiamen of the Lexington company, returned home after patroling the place for three days and nights. While Wm. Smith and Jas. Thacker were hunting in Clay county they quar reled over,the ownership of a dog and Thacker emptied the contents of a dou ble-barreled shotgun into Smith's boay at close range, causing instant death. W. G. Cowan had twenty-one head of fine cattle in a pasture in Lincoln coun ty. Some vandals spread parts green in the field and seventeen of the cattle are dead, while the others are not expected to recover from the effects of the poison. James Blanton, John Blanton, Tilden Blanton and Ashford Joseph, who are charged with the killing of Demosthenes Noble, in Breathitt county, at the recent election, have been admitted to bail by Special Judge J. M. Stevenson in the sum of $5,000 each. Twins born in different months is an unusual event, but such is the record of the latest children of Mr. and Mrs. Jo seph Lollar, of Louisville. A boy was born at 11:45 o’clock on the night of October 31, and a girl arrived at 12:16 o'clock on the morning of November. Because Willie Corum, aged 17 years, when called on, assisted the teacher to punish Delbert Osborne, aged 16 years, a schoolmate who had misbehaved, Os borne struck Corum over the head with a baseball bat, crushing his skull and causing almost instant death. The boys had been chums previously. John Sprouse and Frank Kelly, who were twice tried and convicted for burn ing the home of Charles Cooper and two of his children, in Lawrence county, and appealed the case each time, were again tried last week in the Carter Cir cuit court and released. On advice of their attorneys they will leave that part of the state. The Fox Station corespondent of the Winchester Democrat says: “Uncle Will Charles raised a beer that weighed 1] pounds. He says if it hadn’t been hol low on top and been filled out good that he is satisfied it would have weighed 20 pounds. Although he is crippled he raised the best garden in the county which shows that if we have to we can accomplish much even though afflicted.” About six months ago Mrs. Walter Scott, of Lexington, missed a diamond brooch valued at $150. Charles Gillis, a colored houseboy, was suspected, ar rested and tried for the theft, being con victed and sent to the penitentiary for two years. Recently in overhauling an old wardrobe the brooch was found in the folds of one of her dresses, and now Mrs. Scott asks Governor Willson to pardon the innocent negro lad. We are not apologizing for Breathitt county, but it looks a little unfair when a little election disturbance breaks out there for the Cincinnati and Louisville papers to herald the fact in poster print headlines. The truth is there is more sheol raised every week in either of the wards of Cincinnati or Louisville than there is in the whole of Breathitt county in a month. But it’s human nature to score the other fellow while you are engaged at the same game yourself.— Maysville Public Ledger.
