Last Monday night about 8 o’clock the loungers on and about the Public Square were startled by the crack of a pistol. The cause thereof, and events leading thereto, are reported as follows: For a long time Mrs. Dady, assisted by her daughter and two nieces, the Misses Fitzgibbon, have beer, keeping hoarding house on South Jackson street. One of the boarders was Mel. Burrow, a former member of the Greencastle Fire Department, and well known to our citizens as figuring in various troubles heretofore. Burrow was assiduously attentive to Miss Fitzgibhons, devoting bis time, early in the morning and late at night, to her. Mrs. Dady, who had been as a mother to the girl for years, objected seriously to these attentions, and resorted to reasoning and all other means at her command, to stop them, but without avail, in fact her endeavors in this line seemed only to double the attentions of Burrow. The troubles of the family in regard to this matter grew worse and worse, until Monday last, and on that day when Mrs. Dady came home, after being out some hours, she found that Miss Fitsgibbons had packed her trunk and left. On investigation she learned that the girl had taken train for tho West ana that Burrow had been at tho depot to see her off. This last trouble, as the lady herself says, seemed to craze her. She immediately came up town to hunt Bui row and revenge her injuries. Repairing to tho hardware store of J. D. Stevenson & Son, she borrowed a revolver from salesman Neff, saying she would he alone at the house that night, and requested Neff at the same time to tench her how to use the weapon. After re-

Homespun.

Dcnlh of Hr. E. A. Hutson. The sad intelligence has been received of the death, on Sunday last, at Sonora, California, of Dr. Edwin Antes Matson, recently a resident and practicing physician of this city. Dr.Matson was born at Brookville, Franklin County, this State, on tho 2 i day of August, 1847, and was therefore in the thirty-fourth year of his age at tho time of hts death. lie was the fourth son of the late John A. Matson, and brother of Col. C. C. Matson, ami removed with Iiih father to Greencastle in the month of September, 1861, where the greater part of his boyhood was passed. After receiving the rudiments of an English education in the common srhools of the county, he entered Asbury University as a student, where he progressed to the Sophomere year, when he left college and begun the study of medicine with Dr. Wilcox. He remained with Dr. Wilcox as a student until the month of September, 1870, when he went to the University of Virginia, where ho graduated in medicine the following ^ear. After graduation ho located at Caihou, Clay County, where he soon built up a lucrative and extensive practice. Hero, probably’, the exposure to which the duties of Lis profession subjected him, laid the foundation of the disease which afterwards terminated his life. He remained in Carbon until the year 1875, when ho came back to Greencastle and took charge of tho office of Dr. Wilcox, whose health had been rapidly giving way. He remained in this position until tho death of Dr. Wilcox, which occurred in February, 187C, and then entered into a partnership with Dr. Ezra B. Evans. During the existence of this partnership Dr. Matson became very generally and favorably known to our citizens, and was fast acquiring the repuUtion of a skillful and accomplished physician. His health, however, failing him, he was compelled to seek a different climate, and in October, 1878, left us and took up his abode in Stockton, California. From thence he removed to Sonora, where his death occurred, as above

stated.

Dr. Matson became a member of College Avenue M. E. Church in the year 1870. He was also a member of the Masonic fraternity, and was buried under th r rites of that order on Monday last. He was unmarried. As a friend of tho deceased, I cannot close this sketch without paying a slight tribute to his memory. Dr. Matson was a man of decided literary tastes and acquirements. Ho possessed a keen incisive intellect, a retentive memory and untiring industry. He loved his profession, and was an ardent student of science. He died far away from home and relatives, in a strange land, hut not forgotten by his friends here, who will ovir remember his genial nature, his gentle disposition, his unassuming manners, his disinterested friendship, and the generous impulses which seemed to prompt every act of his life—a life so full of hope and promise, and yet in duration so short.
