White Hall, In Madison county, at'9:10 o'clock last night. Death was due to general exhaustion. Rome, July 23.—At 6 o'clock this morning the doors of St. Peter's were thrown open, and from that time till 3 o'clock this afternoon the public viewed the remains of the late pontiff. From 4 to 5 o'clock a private view will be accorded those specially invited. This is the programme for Friday and Saturday as well. While an immense crowd viewed the remains, few remained in the square over night for the doors to open, as all knew that the three days would permit all to see the remains. At daybreak, however, people began to gather, and when the doors were opened over 2,000 were at the barrier. Many were workingmen and shop girls. In all-, It was a typical Roman crowd. The first to pass in when the barriers were let down was an old woman, then men and boys and a general crowd. The catafalque is so arranged that the Pope's feet are a yard back of the railing, so that no one is able to kiss his feet. This caused one old woman much grief, as she intended to pay the homage. St. Peter's Is well guarded by Noble and Swiss guards, and the interior presented a striking spectacle. London, July 23.—B. J. Farheon, the novelist, died from a ruptured blood vessel today.

If destitute they receive a pension ranging from £3 to £17 a year; or, if too feeble to look after themselves, they are placed in an old age home. A few days ago a man in his employ picked up an old gold piece In a plowed field. Mr. Rockwell believed he had located the spot where a century ago the Garratts and Lulls, early settlers, secreted their valuables. It Is a matter of history that at the time of the Cherry valley massucre the Iudluns raided Butternut valley and carried the few white settlers Into captivity. His first wife got a divorce from him, and he divided his property of 2,000 acres among her and his children, giving her a full half and retaining foi himself only 200 acres und the homestead.Tobacco Coffee, per lb Leaving the side of the mountain the tornado swept down Barclay street, striking first the large lumber yard of Gould & Snyder, picking tip huge beams and blowing them about in its circular course like feathers.

Rome, July 23.—At 6 o'clock this morning the doors of St. Peter's were thrown open, and from that time till 3 o'clock this afternoon the public viewed the remains of the late pontiff. From 4 to 5 o'clock a private view will be accorded those specially invited. This is the programme for Friday and Saturday as well. While an immense crowd viewed the remains, few remained in the square over night for the doors to open, as all knew that the three days would permit all to see the remains. At daybreak, however, people began to gather, and when the doors were opened over 2,000 were at the barrier. Many were workingmen and shop girls. In all-, It was a typical Roman crowd. The first to pass in when the barriers were let down was an old woman, then men and boys and a general crowd. The catafalque is so arranged that the Pope's feet are a yard back of the railing, so that no one is able to kiss his feet. This caused one old woman much grief, as she intended to pay the homage. St. Peter's Is well guarded by Noble and Swiss guards, and the interior presented a striking spectacle. London, July 23.—B. J. Farheon, the novelist, died from a ruptured blood vessel today.

A few days ago a man in his employ picked up an old gold piece In a plowed field. Mr. Rockwell believed he had located the spot where a century ago the Garratts and Lulls, early settlers, secreted their valuables. It Is a matter of history that at the time of the Cherry valley massucre the Iudluns raided Butternut valley and carried the few white settlers Into captivity.
