CoYTNaToN NEWS.

A BRILLIANT EFFusIoS.-The following
paragraph appeared among the Covington
news, in yesterday evenings Times:
"The Council yesterday had brief session;
the afternoon was hot and every body seemed
anxious to get through. Happy is that pub
lie body which has no members that carry
spinningjennies at their tongues endsl'
All this is no doubt very clear to those who
understand it; but we think the last sentence
will require some elucidation before it will be
appreciated by the 1900 readers Of our even
ing cotemporary.
SERIOUS ACCIDENTAL man named Charles
Sanburn was accidentally shot in the right
wrist, night before last at saloon on Sixth

was shooting at target. The wound, though
severe, Is not dangerous.

GRAPE AND WINE CONVENTION IN THE
SoUTH.--A convention is to be held at
Aiken, S. G., on the 2lst of August, the OBJ
jects of which are to determine definitely the
names of the grapes now under cultivation,
and also upon some manner of naming the
different wines. The present way of calling
them by the name of the grape is in direct
contravention of the rules of wine-growing
countries. 1t has been customary to classify
wines by the name of State or district, with
the different brands attached to them accord
ing to the particular locality. Thus the gem
eral name, "Wines of the Rhine comprises
many different brands, such as Hockheimer
Johannesburg &c. Bordeaux wines include
Chateux Margaux, st. Julien, La Rose, &c
The reason for this is very obvious. The
same grape will make totally different wines
in different places. And again, in most
countries the grapes are mixed. A wine
made from a mixture of Catawba, Isabella
and Warren, could not be called by either Of
those names. At present there are lOC
different Catawba wines, no two of them
alike

POPULATION AND REQUIREMENT OF THE
ONO PENITEYTIARy.-The number now con-
fined in this institution is 969. The steady
increase of the number of criminals in the
State of Ohio, says the State Journal, and the
inadequate accommodation which the State
at present possesses for their reception and
retention, calls loudly upon our legislators
to provide by law for the building of new
prison, as was contemplated by the creation
of commission for the selection ofan eligible
site last winter. 1t is to be hoped that one
of the first acts of the Legislature on its re-
assembling next winter, will be to pass a
law to that effect. Should an epidemic visit
our State'sPrison in its present crowded state
the consequences would be awful for al
present both the hospital and chapel are
turned into sleeping apartments, which have
to be guarded during the whole of the night
to prevent the escape of convicts. And even
when the present improvements shall have
been completed, and the whole of the appro-
priation expended in the enlargement OF
cells, &C., it will fail to accommodate the
whole number.

Homicide ut n hall in st. Bernard-NInp
Stabbed to the Heart In n Fight.

A picnic party that visited Ludlow's Grove,
day before yesterday when evening came on,
retired to hall, in st. Bernard, a few miles
from the city, in Millcreek Township, for the
purpose of spending the evening in dancing.
About ten o'clock difficulty between q
couple of men, named r. II. Wheeler and
Henry Skillman, who were members of the
company, occurred in the street, near the
hall, and the latter was found shortly after
ward in a moribund condition, having re-
ceived three wounds from knife in the
hands of his antagonist.
How the quarrel originated is not known,
nor could the Coroner learn by the most
searching investigation. Skillman, however,
upon being removed to the house, after the
application of proper restoratives, revived
sufficiently to state in presence of Justice
OF the Peace and man named d. j. Walker
that he had been stabbed by Wheeler, and
shortly afterward died.
The wound that caused his death pene-
trated his body about an inch below and to
the left of the left nipple, passing through the
right auricle of the heart into the right lung,
He also had another severe wound in the
right side of the abdomen, and still another
in the right arm.
Coroner Carey held an inquest upon the
body, which resulted in verdict to the eff
feet that the deceased came to his death in
consequence of wounds received from O
knife in the hands of r. II. Wheeler.
Wheeler was subsequently arrested and
taken before Justice Schlee, who committed
him to Jail to await trial before the next
term of the Criminal Court upon charge OF
murder. The deceased was about twenty
six years of age, and leaves wife but NO
children.

Heennniana-Tha Beniciu Boys Earnings
In England, and his Future Course in this
Country.
A New York paper, of late date, protesting
to speak by the card, observes:
Heenan has arranged to give few sparrine
exhibitions in the cities of New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston, perhaps in Baltimore
Cincinnati and Washington, and possibly in
New Orleans, and hopes to realize thersfrom
net profits sufficient 70 give him snug little
sum of interest-money, and thus provide
against the proverbial 'rainy day" In
these exhibitions, the first of which will be
given in this city, on Monday evening next,
Heenan will be assisted by Jack Macdonald
and lively spectacle it will be to see these
two star artists amicably ''put up their hands
with each other.
Heenan made considerable money whilC
abroad, but "spent it" as he says, ''lil0e
| Major" All told, his earnings in England
and Ireland amounted to nearly $35,0O0
| For four sparring exhibitions, given in foul
| towns in ireland, he received the portly sun
| of 81, 800, but it's all gone-"glided smoothly
away like the closing hours of good mans
life"-and now he wants more.
We understand it to be Mr.. Heenan's in.
tention that these exhibitionsshal be divested
of the roughness that has hitherto attached
| to them; and to accomplish that object, they
will be presented in connection with other
entertainments that may be witnessed by the

who don't like to have disagreeable things
come betwiXt the wind and their nobility

Law REPORr.
PROBATE COURT.

CALLED CouRr--Judge Hilton held a called
Court TO hear an application for the discharge
of Daniel Sullivan, committed from the Po-
lice Court, in default Of $2,6 800 bail, toanswer
charge Of stabbing two negroes, named
Samuel Harris and Richard Corbin, on the
Fourth of July. The colored men went into a
colee-house on Cherry-alley, and drank some
beer. Several white men then came, and,
according to the statement Of the colored
men, one of the white men asked Corbin to
shake hands, which the latter refused on the
ground that he 'never shook hands with
white men unless he knew them" The
colored men cleared out as soon as they could,
and were followed by one of the other party,
who drew a knife aud first stabbed Corbin on
the shoulder, and subsequently cut Harris in
the same place. This was the statement of
the negroes. Harris, in answer to question
whether he was drunk, replied: "No;" that
he had only drank little beer. When Cor
bin was asked if he was sober he said he was
''as sober as man ought TO be-" Other wit
nesses, however, testified that he was drunk,
and used insulting language.
Sullivan was proved to be one Of the party
of white men present on the occasion, but
was not identified at the present investiga-
tion as the individual who committed the
offense charged; and it was alleged that the
only witness who had testified at the former
trial that he was guilty, had been himself
arrested on the same charge.
Sullivan proved q good character.
The Court thought there was no testimony
sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused;
but thought the safest course would be to re-
duce the bail. A bond in the sum of $500
was then accepted, and the party was
released.
