portion of the body of one of the men who lost their lives In the frightful wreck of July t. 1W2.

Ferguson secured the services of Sue Fredericks, an old colored woman, from Glasgow, Ky. Her household duties did not prevent her from attending church meetings, and Sue became converted, fche brooded over her sins and finally lost her reason, becoming a hopeless lunatic. Yesterday she was taken by her husband back to their home nt Glasgow. This Is not all of the story. During a lawn fete that was given at the residence of Judge Ferguson several weeks ago, a fine gold watch and chain, the property of the Judge's daughter, were stolen. It 'was at the time supposed that while the family and friends wcru out in the yard a burglar had entered and purloined the articles.

We proposed to stand good for the rent and secure a sewing machine, but she was inclined to think the offer made was not liberal enough. Negotiations rested for a few days and next came the news of Miller's suicide." Thre weeks ago we told our readers ab ut the criminal seduction of Hattle Lee, th fifteen-year-old daughter of John Lee, living at Union City, and the arrest of the father on the charge of committing the fiendish operation on a girl of his own flesh and blood. Not only this, but the child a few weeks before his arrest gave birth to a babe, whose life the father ended a few minutes after Its birth. These facts were developed at the time of his preliminary hearing, since which time he has languished In Jail under a bond of $1,000. When the grand Jury was In session last week they investigated the evidence against him and brought in a charge of murder and criminal seduction. The case will be taken up at our next term of court, when it is to be hoped the criminal and offender of the law will be given
