These unlocated bodies, to find which hundreds of brave men are constantly risking their lives, are seriously menaced by two destroying elements, by de. cay in the overheated, humid and vapor poisoned atmosphere of the mines and by the fires that are smouldering here and there in the workings and from time to time bursting into flames. Steadily the chance is ebbing that these bodies will be brought to the surface. This is the situation this morning at the scene of the most frightful catastrophe in the history of the coal mining industry in America. $25 Reward.

Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 8?Frank Click, a machinist, 22 years old,?today shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Ruth Click, and then shot himself 4-U'?s>i-i?vVi fUo hand o-n <4 nnm Hoc rLrinor UlIUU^U UlC n^au j 4iiu iiwT 11 w uj at the city hospital. The tragedy occurred on Bilbo avenue, in the home of a negress, where Mrs. Click had taken refuge. Domestic troubles are assigned as the cause. Mrs. Click was about 23 years old, and had been divorced from a former husband. She and Click were married last July and went to Memphis to live. She returned to Nashville some two weeks ago, going to the home of her father, W. N. Bilbo, a wealthy real estate owner. Click returned last night and at his request Mrs. Click met him this afternoon on Bilbo avenue, near the scene of the killing. After a brief conversation with him, she suddenly ran, with Click pursuing her. Her flight*ended in the rear room of the dwelling of Salhe Hughes, colored,1 and there, with no witnesses, the shooting occurred. Negroes Attack Officer. Columbus, Miss., December 10.? Pickens county, Alabama, is about to have another outbreak among negroes and news from that locality paints an alarming state of affairs. The trouble started Sunday afternoon when a constable named Wiglowe started from Gorde, ten miles from Carrollton, the county seat, to arrest a negro named Will Lowe, charged with stealing cotton. After making the arrest the constable was met in the public road by a mob of fifty negroes, led by the prisoner's brother, who began firing. The negro prisoner under the constable's care was instantly killed by a shot from his own brother's gun, and the constable was shot several times, though not seriously. The mob of negroes left the constable and prisoner for dead and retreated. Fifteen negroes are in Carrollton jail charged with complicity in the affair. Negro Kills Town Marshal. Macon, Ga., Dec. 8.?A special from Midville, Ga., to the Telegraph says: "Marshal Brinson was killed here this afternoon by a negro. The negro had done something for which the officer reproved him and summoned him to appear in court tomorrow morning. The negro, without saying anything, pulled his gun and shot Brinson three times. Two of the bullets lodged in Brinson's abdomen, and he died in a few minutes. The negro fled to the swamp and escaped. "A special train with sheriff's posse 'and bloodhounds left Milled, Ga., for the scene." \ 3h>$SiE3t3i^E3t55^ab,fSdb$^E3C3iSE5C3?^E3fa^SG!:t9^ErC3$S?r::t3^at35^E3C>$^E3 ;gies and Wagons ] ie concern in South Carolina and with H *ence what kind of a Buggy you want. |? >se prices || y buying so many we got them so we could sell at $65.
