something to do with the affair.
gfßkense excitement prevailed in that
village during the progress of the

Report has it that the old
Sfe the body was found, is a 110-
mßrus gambling den, and the theory is

■ It came out in the trial yesterday that

were all over it. A heavy piece

up in the building and was cov

Kingston, June 27.—Kingston and sur

several good showers and crops and gar

growing nicely. Grass and weeds are
prosperous and even democracy seems
to be growing. A club has been organ

destructive plants will be separated
from pure democratic principles and
peace, harmony .prosperity and brother

that will be gathered on the national
democratic barn.

FIRE IN NORTH ROME.
Henry Deals Home Wbb Burned Down Last
Night—lt Wag Injured.
Last night about ten o’clock, the fire
alarm was turned in, but it was soon
seen that the blaze was in North Rome
and the wagons stopped.
Mr. Henry Deals residence was burned
to the ground. Mr. Deal was in the city
attending a lodge meeting, and his wife
and mother were alone in the ouse
when the fire was discovered. A good
deal of the furniture was saved, but
many things could not be saved.
Mr. Deal arrived shortly after the fire
commenced,but could do nothing toward
saving the furniture. JThe household
and kitchen furniture was insured for
S6OO, and the house for $1,200. It is
supposed that the fire originated in the
kitchen, as Mrs. Deal was keeping her
son’s supper warm on the stove.
A WANDERING MINSTREL
Gets a Black Eye, a Cracked Head, and Fin
ally Lands in the Lock Up.
Yesterday a tramp musician came into
the city feeling as happy and gay as a
lark, last night he occupied a room at
the station house, and had as result of
the day’s ~fun a black eye and a bad
gash on the forehead.
He fiddled in a Broad street saloon
most of the day and managed to get a
good bit of beer under his vest. Late
in the tried to get gay with
the barkeeper, who promptly blacked
the wandering minstrel’s right eye.
That gentleman immediately made his
exit, and left his violin behind. Mr.
Bud .Quarles took compassion on the
follow and carried him in Treivtt’s drug
store to have the eye doctored. While
the operation was in progress,the tramp
commenced abusing everybody and ev
erything, and Mr. Quarles objected,
and emphasized his objections by hit
ting the man on the head with a beer
bottle. The tramp ran out of the drug
store, and into the next door, which is a
boarding house kept by Mrs. Vick. Mrs.
Vick was sitting in the back door of the
house, and the fleeing man just'kept
right straight through, and ran over the
woman before she could get out of his
way.
He continued on to the police station
and told his tale of woe,and was prompt
ly locked up. The fellow had an ugly
gash on his headland bled profusely.
Cases were made against Quarles and
the tramp and they will be tried before
Recorder Spullock this morning.
