FATHiB, MOTHER, SON GUILTY.
Mrs. Knowles Faints When Sentenced
for the Killinsr of John Waters.
Litchfield, Oct. 24.—One of the most
sensational court scenes enacted in Connec
ticut for years was witnessed here to-day,
when the end was reached in the trial of tbs
Knowles family of Lnnesville—Dr. George
Knowles, his wife and their son Geo go, Jr,
—for manslaughter for the killing of Job a
Waters at Lancs vilie.on the night of Aue. 2
last.
The jury after ten minutes deliberation
found all three prisoners guilty, and .Judze
Thayer at once sentenced taem. He said the
murder was a cold-olooded one, and had
the jury found them all guilty of murder
he should have imposed th) death sentence
without hesitation. He then sentenced Dr.
Knowles and Mrs. Knowles to tea years
each in state prison aud the son Gjorge t)
seven years.
Hardly had the words left the judge’s
mouth, when Mrs. Knowles threw up her
arms with a shriek and fell back iu a dead
faint. There was great excitement in the
court room. W hen the judge could pro
duce order, restoratives were applied to
Mrs. Knowles, but without effect, aud she
was carried from the court room uncon
scious. Later she revived, but her con
dition is serious.
Dr. Knowles and his son were apparently
unmoved either by the sentence or by the
fainting fit of the wife and mother jointly
convicted with them. Both the doctor and
his wife are .past 60 years old, so that
their sentence is practically for life. The
lighter sentence for young George, who did
the actual killing, is supposed to have been
caused by the general belief that the boy is
not overly bright mentally.
Dr. George Knowles and bis brother Jay
Knowles had disputed for years over the
title to an old white farmhouse near Lanes
ville. Jay claimed the right to it under a
deed mado by his father previous to the old
man’s death. The point was raised by the
doctor that the “highway” referred to in
the deed’s description of the old white farm
house meant a path which inclosed other
property.
Finally Jay Knowles was ousted from the
old white house, control of which wa9
assumed by the admin strators of the estate.
Last JUy Jay Knowles’ own farmhouse was
struck y lightning and burned. By an
arrangeme t with a tenant who rented from
the administrator Jay moved into the old
white house.
Dr. Knowles, his wife and their son also
took up quarters in the house, occupying the
rear part and shutting Jay and his wife out
of a room where they had stored effects
necessary to the comfort of Mrs. Jay
Knowles, who was in very feeble health.
This state of mutual siege lasted for three
days, and then some of the villagers, in
cluding John Waters, who sympathized
with Jav Knowles and his sick wife, went
to help Jay force in the door to the store
room. Dr. Knowles was away, but he had
armed simple minded young George with a
horse pistol and told him to shoot any in
truder, especially Jay. Mrs. Dr. Knowles
also urged the fon to shoot when the attack
ing party arrived.
He did so, tho bullet, which was evidently
intended for his Uncle Jay, entering John
Waters’ heart and killing him instantly.
FBOZBN TO DEATH.
A Young Girl Frozen to Death in a
Blizzard in New Mexico.
Raton, N. M., Oot. 25. —Monday evening
last William Nich and his 16-year-old
daughter were going from Folsom to the
ranch, the girl was driving a team ahead
while her father came behind with auother.
They were overtaken by a blizzard when
about half way nome. Tho father reached
home in safety aud was horrified to find
that his daughter bad nutlet arrived. She
had lost her wav in the Slinding storm.
The blizzard continued throughout the
night, so little could be done in searching
for tue lost child. She vas found yester
day about ten iniles from her homo frozen
to death. She had managed to unhitch tho
horses aud turn them loose before she be
came exhausted.

CAROLINA'S CHEROKEKS.
ALICE MACQOWAN INTERVIEWS
THE NATIVES.
Primitive Language -Pfcoßbe and the
C'der Mill Man- The “Big Injun” at
tha Cider Mill—Hia Dictum on Phoebe
—Some Indian Names and Their En
glish I Qulvalents The Handsome
Chief.
Mvrphy, N. C., Oct 10.—Asheville is a
very pretty place, though I can hardly un- j
derstand its enormous popularity as a ;
rvsort, both winter and summer. Altitude,
pure, bracing mountain air, and fine
mountain scenery, it shares with many
other places in this Western North Carolina
section.
Being more a place of residence than one
of business, it has an uncommonly large
proportioa of fine placets, surrounded by
beautiful grounds. Buncombe county, of
which it is the connty site, reverses tfce
usual order of things, and compels all stock
to be securely fenced, leaving corn, wheat
and other flelds, meadows, orchards and
city lots almost universally uninclosed.
The result is pleasant in the country, and
to me quite odd. As Phoebe and 1 passed
along between tall corn and tempting rows
of apple trees, we agreed between ourselves
that suen behavior was a premium on crime,
and removed ad moral responsibility from
tired ana hungry wayfarers; but nobody, I
think, can assert that she took an ear of
corn or a mouthful of oats here and I an
apple there, and certainly neither of us will
tell.
In Asheville tolf the effect is still more
pleasing in contrast with m ist places of its
size in this couutrv, where one sees cattle
and pigs in greater or les profusion iu the
streets, and every green thing that is get
atable is gnawed to the ground. Hero the
lawns and terraces slope dowu, green and
beautiful, lit up bv clumps of scarlet sage
and beds of vaiicolored foliage plants, to
the sidewalks, with no sort of inclosure, or
if there is a bit of wall, one foot or eight
teen inches in hight, or a light tracery of
iron fence, it is garlanded ana half-covered
with creeping and blooming vines, myrtles,
nasturtiums and other graceful trailers,
hanging their prodigal wealth of crimson
and orauge blossoms unmolested into the
street.
Out of Asheville I rode upon a very pleas
ant, cool, grav morning and reached
Waynesville, a distance of somethir.y-five
miles, by the “dirt” road, before tea time.
I rested over one day and started out on the
following morning for the Cherokee country.
My route out of Waynesville lay across
the Balsam Mountains through Soco Gap,
a very beautiful ride, and a comparatively
gentle one for this mountain country,
though very remote and solitary.
Here I fouud great wealth and variety of
scenery. For some way I rode among tall,
tine trees. I came upon a little sawmill,
silent and deserted, with its quantities of
logs, and its piles of lumbor ranged about.
Further on the road olimbeJ alo ig a gentle
grade toward the gap, between the de .sest
walls of laurel I have ever seen, and yet
higher up, indeed quite on the top, and
within the grp, it came out upon an open
grassy space where sat a little cabin, empty
of human inhabitants, and only occupied
by some corn fodder. But bright eyes
peered at me from the tiny window and halt
open door, and bushy tails flitted briskly in
and out. It. had been miles since I passed
an inhabited house, and would be miles
more bef re I should come to another; I
was absolutely alone under the great trees,
between the closely environing walls of
thick laurels, or in the open grassy spaces,
with the squirrels, the birds, the stirring air
and shifting shadows.
As I began to desoend, the. Soco, an invis
ible thing, a voice, a mystery, ran along bo
side me, sometimes gently, but more often
with loud outcry and oonfused protesta
tions. There would be the tiakle, ttnkie of
the light soprano notes, and the next mo
ment a full’ murmur of rich contralto or
bass voices would reply; then all would dis
pute together, laughing, angry, with such
absolute mimicry of human voioes that I
paused more than once, startled and listen
ing.
Great storms had evidently swept and
devasted this western slope of the range iu
years past, for big trees lay scattered about
like playthings, their masses of roots leav
ing great caverns where they had been torn
up, or piled in fantastic confusion across
gigantic rocks.
As I rode along down through this peopled
solitude, amid this articulate silence, with
the talking water beside me, I thought of
that other Alice who crept dowu the , abbit
burrow, and of her strange adventures and
experiences in the strange laud and among
the strange creatures she thus encountered.
Here, I was as mstmctly the only being of
my class as she Riuud herself to be in Won
derland.
Once, back on the eastern side of the
mountain, I had lost my way and gone off
on a wrong road, which soon ra i narrow
and precarious, along a ledge high above a
frotliy torreut: and, quite as in a fairv
story, au o and, old man with a staff appeared,
walking slowly toward me under the toll
tree and set me right.
As I went on down the mountain west
ward the hidden stream beside me suddenly
burst into view iu a sheer fall of about
thirty or forty feet, silvery at top and
fleecy, foaming white below. Just by it was
a tall slender maple which teemed, like the
darling of autumn, to have received her
entire largess of glowing color, for it stood
beside the veil of moonbeam tinted mis., all
in purest red of graded tones, from the low
est winey branch to the topmost plume of
fiery scarlet.
When I emerged into the cultivated lands
I was in the Cherokee country. There was
not a white face to be seen, nor a word of
English to be heard. The surroundings
looked no different from those amid which
I had been riding for weeks; the cabins, the
cattle and horses, the crops, the stacks of
hay, fodder and oats, the drying fruit, the
primitive hosehold and farming imple
ments; the only difference was that
the men I saw at work in tho
fields, and the women around the
houses, were Indians; and the babies
that squatted about or were carried in their
mother's arms, were little pappooses, with
the bright eyes and inscrutatde expression
of Japanese dolls, What a situation I would
be in, I thought, if I missed the road, here
where English appeared to be as unknown
an accomplishment as roller skating. So I
kept pressing ahead till nearly 4 o’clock,
w hen the pangs of famine overcame me—
Piioi e was lo g since speechless with indig
nation. I came upon a little place where
there were several women. They were
quite pleasant faced, and nodded smilingly
to me. X would try, I thought, to make
them understand that I wanted a cu:> of
milk. So X began by looking very hungry
(which was no effort), then reached
out my hand and received an imaginary
cup from them, which I drank with greedi
ness. One of the younger ones hur
ried into the cabin and brought out
a cup to me, but, alas, it was
filled with only water. X was at my wits
end. 110 iked about; no cow was in sight,
though I had seen occasional groups of
pretty, sleek cattle all along my way; I
tried "milking in pantomine. but must have
given au imperfect production, for they
could not understand, though they tried
hard to do so. Suddenly a bright thought
struck m; “Moo-00-00-oo!" said I, “Moc
woo-woo!” and looked earnestly at them
and then into the cup.
The effect was even beyond my expecta
tions. They screamed with laughter at the
earnestness and sincerity of my perform
ance, much as you would have done. The
oldest woman clapped one of tho girls on
the shoulder aid gave her some instructions
in soft musical Cherokee, whereupon she
went to a little sort of spring house,
and soon returned with a small crock of
nice milk and some pieces of a sort of soft
moist corn bread with whole b' iled chest
nuts thickly interspersing it, like the plums
in a Christinas pudding. This is the Indian
chestnut bread. It is made, mnch like the ;
“hot !amalee”of the Mexicans, of head- ,
gr und corn, wrapped in corn husks and
boiled; only here, instead of the addition of
ths pork, there are the cheetnuu; aid it is, I
to a very hungry person, altogether deli- |
Clous.
In the late afternoon the mountains j
suddenly opened away from the road, 1 )
rounded a little carve and the Oconaiuftee
lay before me, while beyond were the
snowy palings, green lawn and trees, and
attractive buildings of the Cherokee school,
which was the Mecca of mv present pil
grimage.
The beautiful, beautiful O-co-nalufteel
Of all the charming mountain streams I
forded or traveled beside since leaving the
Roan, this has the most idyllic l veline s,
the s< ftes; and moat alluring enchantments
of silver water, flowing between fringed
and ferny banks, checkered by glancing
sunbeams and flitting shadows of darting
birds or flickering reflection* of swaying,
overhanging boughs. It is as dimpling and
smiling as a sunny stream skirting an
English meadow, and so orystal cleir that,
though the water was almost up to Phoebe’s
body, I could see every little pebble on the
bottom.
About a hundred yards above the ford
was the t >uch of human interest that com
pleted the sweet picture—a foot bridge
thrown across in a graceful, shallow arch.
At the school, wmoh is managed by the
Quakers, I was hospitably entertained and
very much interested.
There are eighty-nine pupils in all, rang
ing in age from 6or 7 years to 12 or 20.
Finer looking y. ung fell nvs or more pleas
ing and well bred girls than many of these
are one could not wish to see. They have
a brass band of eighteen or nineteen pieces,
which is quite a source of pride to tho
school It has been heard. up<> i festal oc
casions, in various part* of this state and
Tennessee, and the boys made some very
pleasing music on the moonlit lawn after
tea.
The next morning, which wai Sunday, 1
went over to call upon the chief.
I was acquainted with the very prejudi
cial fact that his name was Smith. Jarrett
Smith, before I went, but when I saw him
it only served to convince me that there is,
indeed, nothing in a name, for he wss the
most uu-Hmith-Uke looking man you could
well imegiue.
Six fuel or more in bight and splendidly
built, with a fine head and beautifully cut,
commanding features, he was a strikingly
handsome and attractive figure. His hair
was brushed back from a very dignified
brow, and fell in a curling mass far down
his shoulders. The curling Pair aud the
beauty and regularity of the lofty features
reveal the chief’s Caucasian blood. He is a
man of about 40, I should judge, and his
wife, whom 1 did not meet, is a whi'e
woman. Ha received ine with graceful
cordiality, and I found him to be as well
informed aud entertaining as he was fine
looking. There was a white man in the
room when 1 entered, probably so ue rela
tive of the chief’s wife, I thought, and one
could not fail to be struck with the Chero
kee’s superiority, physical and intellectual.
While the white man’s talk was in the
drawling tones and the usual dialect of the
mountaineers, tho chief's language was ex
cellent—even choice —English, just touched
by that soft blur that tho Cherokee tougue
seems uuable to overcome; his voice was
rich and suave, and his manntr one of eat>y
dignity.
He translated for me. at my request,
many of the Cherokee names in this local
ity.
“Nantebalah,” translated, is Noonday
sun; and tho rivor was so named from a
narrow aud deep ravins through which it
flows, where the sun only reaches it at mid
day. “Tusquitta” he rendered “raftered,”
tho mountain ot that name being a pointed
gable-like peak, with ridges upon it like
rafters.
“Oconaiuftee" means near the river, and
was the name of a place close to that lovely
stream. But tho white settlers applied it to
place and stream both—henci the paradox.
Tuekaseege was also the came of a place
with the Cberokees, and means terrapin
town, or place of terrapins.
Cheowah—Uttertowa, or place of otters.
Notely—Spicewood.
Cartoogajny—New town.
Htekoan—Little placs.
Watauga—Little cane.
Chunky Gal and Standing Indian, he
smiling remarked, must be English Indian
ua nes; tho former is a broad -quare moun
tain and the latter a tall, slender peak.
There are about 1,100 souls in this band of
Cherokees, being those wno refused to go
wost onto the resetvati n some thirty or
thirty-five years ago, when the general re
moval to Indian territory was effected.
This is not a reservation, and these Indians
are in no sense wards of tt) government.
The land is owned by the tribe, and held in
community, each man living upon and
farming his proportion, and they have all
the rights of citizenship.
But my ttios. amusing remembrance of
the whole Cherokee country is of the big
strapping fellow who was tending a cider
mill at an orchard where there was no
house or anybody else about for nearly a
mile. He came hasiily down from tho high
perch wnere he was sitting the moment ho
spied me. He gave me some of tho fragrant
sweet cide* to drink, aud replied willingly
in his broken English to my inquiries about
roads. But it was Phoebe thrt had caught
bis eye; upon Phoebe his soft and admiring
glances were cast. “Nice horse—fine horse,”
be said, and incautiously stretched out bis
band to rub her uose. Phoebe, who resents
such familiarity from strangers, made hor
usual bluff of biting, laying back her ears
and snapping sharply at his hand. I was
ashamed of her ill manners, and began
apologizing, but it was entirely unnece sary;
the great, good humored fellow roared witu
laughter, and br mght handfuls of sweet
apples to feed the little vixen, saying: “Is
all right; not means some harm—he iss a
girl, and has not much sense; he not knows
some better.” Aliqjs MacGowan.
BIG SWINDLING SCHEME.
Two Englishmen Said to Have Forged
Drexel & Co.’s Letters of Credit.
London, Oct. 24.—At the Mansion
House to-day George Johnson, aged 70, an
artist, and John Phillips, aged 74, a picture
dealer, were brought before Alderman Hart,
charged with forging and uttering a num
ber of letters of credit and circular notes
with the intention of defrauding Drexel,
Morgan & Cos.
The prosecutor said the prisoners had been
under surveillance by the police for some
time, and hn believed they formed a part of
a considerable gang of notorious forgers
who had conceived tho plan off rgmg let
ters of credit in the name of Drexel, Mor
gan & Cos., which were presented sim
ultaneously at the offleos of these bunkers
in Madrid, Marseille-, Li<*ge, Coblentz and
other cities on the continent where the firm
had correspondents.
The scheme got to the knowledge of the
police, with the result that the two men
were arrested at Liege and another at Mad
rid, while others at Marseilles were under
suspicion.
The prosecutor claimed that he could show
these two prisoners to he the real leaders,
the head and front of the entire business,
and promised that evide ce should be forth
coming connecting them with the ordering
of the type and perforating punches used in
the manipulation of the letters of credit.
Detective Child produced five pieces of
gelatine, found in Johnson’s house, which
Ee explained were used in the pri tmg.
Joseph Tragheim, who was seen iu com
pany with the prisoners, wss called to give
evidence, and testified that he had formerly
been in business in Rotterdam, but was now
out of employment; that he met Phillips in
Rotterdam, and was asked by him whether
he would like to make some money by get
ting some Bank of England notes m de.
He subsequently saw both Phillips
and Johnson in London, and by
their direction procured several perforated
stamps and various types, and afterward
saw a circul ir note printed for $5,000, the
note purporting to be signed by Drexel,
Morgan & Cos, The prisoners were re
manded.

knowing that good health
cannot exist without a

Liver is torpid the Bow

ensues; a feeling of lassL
