Bibert RELICS ODDLY MIXED. Timbers From Jeff Davis' Birthplace in Lincoln's Home. The war's over and north and south have united and the hatchet is buried; but, oh, the suffering ghosts of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis! There can be no doubt of the firmness of the Union if the allega? tions which have Just come to light are true, for It Is said that the re-' recently erected cabin, in which Abra? ham Lincoln was born In Larue county there are two logs from the natal cabin of Jefferson Davis. Ac? cording to the story, the cabin in which Lincoln was born on the old Lincoln farm and the one In which Davis was born In Todd county, were purchased some fifteen or twenty years ago by A. W. Dennett of New York. The Lincoln cabin was ex? hibited at the World's Fair at Chica? go and at other points. The two cabins did not make their appearance together, however, until the Southern Expoaltion was held at Nashville. There the two cabins stood aide by side and formet one of the featuree of the exposition. According to the story, the logs of both were taken east and were stored In a warehouse at Bridgeport, Conn., Mr. Dennett failed in business, and it ia not known whether the cabins were placed in the warehouse at his own direction or by order of court; but, at any rate, the claim is made that they were stored together and it was dur? ing the time spent there that the logs, not to be outdone by men and women in declaring their loyalty to the Un? ion, got together and burled all their differences. The Lincoln cabin was 8ent to Kentucky until the homecom? ing which waa celebrated In the Commonwealth several years ago. The logs were then stored In Louis? ville; but last February were taken to the old Lincoln farm, In Larue county, to be erected on the spot where they stood 100 years ago, when they furnished shelter for Abe Lin? coln when he was born. According to the story, when workmen were erecting the Lincoln cabin all the logs, which were letter? ed and numbered, fitted Into place except two. They were mysterious strangers and are said to have been eighteen Inches longer than their mates. It was found that while they did not fit Into the Lincoln cabin the cabin was incomplete without two logs, ao eighteen inches were sawed off each of the strange timbers and they were placed In position. Yellow clay was put over the ends, so It Is said to prevent spectators from see? ing where they had been sawed off. Persons in close touch with the his? tory of the farm, the two cabins and their history declaie that the two logs which were longer than the oth? ers were logs from the Jefferson Da? vis cabin and that they got away from their mates in the Bridgeport. Conn., v.arehouse. After the cele bnation at Hodgensvllle on February 12, the old Lincoln cabin was again dlalmantled and the precious logs were brought to Louisville for safe? keeping. After the Memorial Hall is completed, the cabin will be re erected in the centre of the ground tHeor. If the two logs from the Jef terson Davis cabin were really parts of the present Lincoln cabin It ia (mimed that although the condition is due entirely to error, the sentiment will be fine.?Cincinnati Enquirer. ?Xo matter how long you have suf? fered, Foley's Kidney Remedy will help you.

BEFORE EXECUTION HE ADMITS HIS GUILT. Hanged at 9.31 O'clock Friday?Ne? gro Denied His Guilt Till Unit Morning?No Statement on the (?allows. Georgetown. Aug. 13.?Alfred Jen? kins, alias "Slippery Joint," who was convicted of an assault and an at? tempt to commit criminal assault on a young white school teacher at the special term of court which was held on July 27, paid the death penalty for his crime here today on the gal? lows, in accordance with the sentence which was passed upon him by Judge John S. Wilson to hang on August 13. Jenkins, just before leaving his cell for the gallows, confessed his crime, saying that he had had a dream in which the Lord told him to tell the truth before he died. Jenkins up to this time had denied that he was the guilty party and at his trial he put up the plea of an alibi. While on the gallows he made no statement regarding his crime, the only thing he said being, "Lord have mercy on my soul. The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want.*' His spritual adviser, Rev. A. B. Jackson, colored, made a prayer in behalf of the condemned man on the gallows. After the prayer {Sheriff Scurry asked Jenkins if he had any? thing else to say, to which he replied, "No." ft The sheriff sprung the trap at 9.31 o'clock and Jenkins hung for sixteen and a half minutes before life was pronounced extinct by Drs. Olln Saw? yer, Gaillard and Moorer. Jenkins did not show any signs of nervousness when he walked up the steps on the gallows except that per? spiration was streaming from his face. The execution passed off quietly and his family will take charge of the body. One of the witnesses of the execu? tion fainted when the trap was sprung and was taken to the jail house by the doctors, who were present for at? tention. COTTON MARKET LOSES. Closed With Prices 12 to 14 Point Lower?Slight Rally in Morning. New York, Aug. 13.?The cotton market lost most of yesterday's ad vance during today's trading, and while the closing tone was steady, last prices showed a net decline of 12 to 14 points. The market opened easy at a de? cline of 4 to 15 points, with active months selling 13 to 14 points net lower in response to disappointing cables, reports of rain in Texas, liqui? dation by yesterday's buyers and a renewal of bear pressure. There was a slight rally during the morning on foreign buying, reports of a better trade situation abroad and an idea that rains in the Southwest wer? still insufficient, but the market later weakened again under a continuation of pressure from local bears, arid, In the absence of bull support, sold off to a net loss of 20 to 23 points, with December touching 12.04. The large receipts of new crop cotton at Hous? ton seemed to attract attention to the approaching movement, and pri? vate advices from Texas suggested that the cotton would begin to move from ail over the State at about the same time owing to the lateness in the Southwest and an early crop In the north. A late rally followed a bullish statement regarding mill stocks and spinners' takings for the month of July but seemed chiefly due to covering, as it was not maintained. Receipts at the ports today 1.620 bales against 1,379 last week and fc> 355 last year. For the week 10,000 bales against 9,058 bales last week and 24.038 last year.
