Killed.

A young man named Scott, who resided
few miles from town, on the opposite side of
the river was struck with a large club or spike
on Sunday evening last by John s Jones. 1t
seems that some words had passed between
the parties, when, young Jones stepped
aboard the ferry boat, and was crossing
the river, when Scott seizeda skift and
started in pursuit. declaring his intention to
assail Jones. The bystanders cautioned him
not to do so, but he persisted, and upon coming
up to Jones, that person struck Scott a blow
which sent him Keeling into the river. He
was assisted out and placed in his skift which
J he rowed to the shore, and afterwards walked
about mile to the residence of his brother
where he stopped for the night, and where he
died about four o'clock on Monday morning
Jones was examined before Justice of The
Peace in this city, but discharged on accoun
ofwsnt ofjurisdiction.-E Vincenness Gaz. =

syrian Traveller.


Among the arrivals in our city yesterday,
was that Of a distinguished travellers native
Syrian, who is now passing through the Uni

Ameri can Institutions. We understand he
expects to remain in our city for several days
and will probably lecture on the Sabbath,
(to-morrow. } in one or both our Presbyterian
Churches, on the moral and religious history
and prospects Of his native country. That
our citizens may know something about him,
we cut the following from the Centrhl Gin

secutions he endured. In 1876, his son, who
s now with us, became q pupil of Rev. VIM.
Thompson, and remsined under his instruc-
ton until 1912. He then became mer-
chant; but his health failing in ls4s, he be-
gan to travel. He visited all the important
countries of the East, then went to Europe,
and has now been for some onths in this
country. Mr.. w. is true Syrian in appear.
ance and in heart. He wishes to carry back
to his "dear native ldnd' all the improve
mel ts of those he visits. He. longs and
hopes to see it again, the "gfory OF the
earth" He spoke last Sabbath in three Of
the largest churches of the city, namely
Rev. Mr.. Wilson's. DR.. Fishers, and DR.
Rice's. We had the pleasure Of hearing the
morning lecture at the first Presbyterian
church. It was graphic description of his
own country as it was in the olden time; al
it was in its ruins, and priest-ridden degrade

that pure English style which distinguish
his teacher, Rev. ". Thomson. He speak
rapidly, earnestly, graphically. His name
is graceful, and the facts he narrates interest

the southern; and western portion Of GU

Railroad Meeting.ssHHOn..O .. n. smith
The people turned out again night before
last in, large numbers, at Foster Hall, listen
to the second speech Of Hon. o. H. Smith,
on the subject Of the Straight Line Railroad.
Those who listened to Mr.. Smith the night
before in bis general survey of the subject, In
which he showed conclusively its Importance
as great trunk road, its practicabilily and IL
immense advantages to our city, were aPar-
emily not only highly pleased with the dis
course, but fully convinced of its truth
Having prepared the minds Of his audience
the evening previous, Mr., 8. proceeded in
this speech to further develop the great sub
ject, and demonstrateyto our citizens the
"ways and means" by which this great en-
terprise can be carried to speedy compile
ton, and its incslculsble advantages secured.
In this latter attempt, judging from the mani
ifest enthusiasm which. his arguments ava
kened, he was emnently successful. 81
Mr.. 8. spoke with great earnes'ness, pre-
scented his subject in a plain and forcible
style, and although some Of his ideas appear
ed rather extravagant, yet he vouches for his
own SINGER ity in their belief by his liberal
: subscription to the stock Of the road.
There werethree several plans submitted
by the. speaker, to raise the ways and
means" .wherewilh to construct the road; al
of which appeared perfectly practicable, ant
no doubt either plan would, upon exarnina
ton, commend itself to the public ong the
proposed line. % 40
Our citizens are nov fully aware ofthein
finite Importance of this road to our city, ant
we trust that when they shall have CAREFUL,
Investigated the plans proposed for its con
struction, they wilt not hesitate in pushing
forwardan enterprise so. obviously importan
to their best interests. ~
We will not attempt to reiterate the differ
ent propositions as Submitted by Mr.. Smith
as they are already before our readers,and ar
subjects more appropriate for their consde
ration in their counting rooms and by thei
fresides, than for parade in the public news

In a moment the man with the chalked hat
espied the conductor walking near the cars,
and instantly ran out after him, followed bv
the passengers. The conductor endeavo-ed
to evade Tompkins, but could not do it,
Reuben chased him around the cars until he
overlook him, sndthen in the fercest manner
demanded that the steam" should be stunned
resnd." The good people Of Kenton, attra-
cted by the confusion, could not imagine
what was the matter, and gathered around
the care in large numbers. Some laughed
without knowing what they were laughing
about-others CAPPED without string mus
Gle, and many pressed inquiries as I, what
was the matter. Brown came to the rescue
of the concuctor, and taking Tompkins aside

He pointed out a house a short distance up
the street, which he said was the Office of the
administrator of the law. Reuben started
for the houee on q full ron; but be had pro-
Ececded but short distance before the iron
hosre gave a significant whistle. He knew
it was the signal for starting, and fearing that
the train would be off before he could get
back, he changed his course and sped for the
cars. He reached the platform Of the last
car just as the last train commenced moving
and clutching it wth'a firm grasp endeavored
to stop it's progress. Finding his puny
strength availed nothing he yelled, while he

among those who heard him. The speed Of
the locomotive was gradually increased, and
at lsat Tompkins legs gave out, and he and
the train was forced to part company. He
let 60, and as he did SO, turned half sum-

into a mud puddle. AS soon as he regained
his feet, he shook his fist terribly at the cars,
