AdT0dped NoIGujIfy,

In yesterdays issue we referred briefly
to the trial pending for the past few days
before Justice Cassety, of young man
charged with stealing $36 from another
party. The conclusion of the case was
reached yesterday, and the judgment Of
the court rendered, releasing the defend
ant, but taxing him with the costs of the
prosecution. In discharging the defend
ant the Justice gave the young man some
sound and wholesome advice, urging him
to avoid in future association with suspi-
cious persons, or even occasional visits to
ubiquitous places. From the first we be-
lieved the accused party innocent, and
have not therefore used his name in what
has been published about the prosecution
against him. We earnestly hope the
troubles through which he has just passed
will prove valuable to him as warning
lesson

Capt. Williamson III Horn, one Of our
oldest and most highly esteemed citizens,
died at twenty minutes before 3 o o'clock yes
ter1ay mornings IN the list year of his age.
He had been IN feeble health for some
months past and for week or more his
family and friends We're prepared for the
dread summons at almost any moment
Capt. Horn was born IN Lynchburg, Va,
on the 15thof July, 1893, and removed to
Nashville in 1918, and has cQptinued to
reside here since that period Uniting his
destinies with cur city IN its infancy, and
being identified with its interests from that
time forward; holding at times various. po-
sitions of honor, his name was just as
familiar in the community as household
words, and none knew him but to esteem
him. Kind and amiable in disposition,
genial in his nature, and upright in his
conduct, he enjoyed the friendship and
confidence of all with whom he came in
contact, and no death has occurred in our
midst for many years which will be more
generally regretted
In 1874 Capt. Horn was elected an Alder
man, reelected again in 1916 and 1916, IN
1852 again elected, and in 1858 was chosen
Mayor of the city In 1856 he was again
! CiCObCN AlucILidii, dhQ AC-c1CObOA SS5~.A -
1859 and 1860. In the discharge of his
duties in behalf OF the city he was faithful
and true, rejecting credit upon himsei
and honor upon his constituency.
Aside from his many good acts as eiti
zen, and the interest he ever manifested il
matters of enterprise tending to the growth
and prosperity of the city, he was also
! shining light in Masonry, and one of tn
!, 1 - <f IL,
} fraternity. He was initiated into CumbeI
land No. in the year 1926, and from tina
time until his death was a Jealous worke
in the cause, advancing rapidly IN tn
Order, and filing offices of honor conferre
upon him by the partiality of his brother
! of the mystic tie. To show the conf
dence and esteem in which he was held b
: the Fraternity, we need only state that b
held the office of Grand Treasurer of til
Grand Lodge for a period of twenty-si
years, holding that position at the time
his death.
Capt Horn carried on the business {
house and sign painting, and followed th
same successfully for long period. 1t wa
J his boast to be mechanic, and in hi
| | death, all branches Of trade have lost
! l.worthy member.
Capt. Horn was the head of large fan
| ily, a number of whom are left to mour
! his loss. 1t was but short time sinC
, that the aged partner of his bosom wei
down to the grave, and it is to be hope
= that the happy couple who lived so joyou
a " together are now enjoying the blessing
! of brighter and better world.
The funeral of Capt. Horn will take plat
: on Thursday, and Will be under the diret
9 ton of the Masonic Fraternity.

Splendid stock of Dry Goods

We yesterday went through the whole
sale dry goods establishment of Messrs.
Evans, Fife, Porter & Co., No Inn Block,
on the north side of the Public Square.
We were well paid for our trouble, for there
never has been SO extensive a stock OF
goods brought to this market, The ca
paeious building is full from cellar to gar
ret. The stock embraces every article and
variety known to the dry goods trade, from
the most substantial to the very finest Of
fabrics. We have seldom seen anywhere
such large, rich and varied assortment
of prints, silks, lawns, linens, ribbons,
etc, while everything else in the whole
sale dry goods line is found in endless
variety and profusion. Such an establish,
ment is an honor to the city and credit
to the State.

The CIarksvilIe Confederate Orphan
Asylum.

The Louisville Courier Journal says that
Mr.. Green Morrow, agent of the Confed-
crate orphans, called on all the merchants
on the north side of Main street, between
Fifth and Sixth, on Monday, with the ex-
ception of three firms, to-wit: Thos. An
derson & Co., Sutcliff & Owen, and II.
Wellman & Co, and the following firms
made donations w. Weller, MIurrell &
Weller, NJ. Leopold & Co., Porch, Cook &
Bryant, Cannon & Byers, Bamberger,
Bloom & Co, Piatt & Allen, Edwin Morris
& Co., S. Ullman q Co., Moss & Sample,
and L. G. Bronner q Co. He will call on
the different merchants of the city within
the next few days, and publish list of all
those who contribute. He has gone all
through the South, and has met with en-.
couragement at every place he has been,
and we feel satisfied that Louisville will moi
be less liberal than other cities to this char.
liable enterprise.

Cherry street baptist Church

The condition of this church financially
is rather an anomalous one. There Is no
more devoted christian denomination any
where, and its pastor, Rev. Mr.. Inman, is
faithful, Jealous and able. In the con-
struction Of the church and purchase of a
building site, a debt of near $4,000 was
incurred, for which the building was sold
under act of chancery. 1t was redeemed
by various notes of members given in an
aggregate sum equal to the amount of the
sale, and the structure still remained in
congregational hands. These notes, how
ever, have never been hquidated, and
those holding the original claim still have
recourse on the building as well as the
drawers of the notes. Members of the
congregation, as well as those outside, will
be called upon in few days to contribute
such sums as they may feel disposed, to re-
lieve the church of its embarrassment, and
we trust that each one will give as much as
his or her means will justify in a purpose
SO laudable.

resulting therefrom. The members of the

Reports from various parts Of the State,
as well as information from points nearer
home. agree in establishing the unpleasant
fact that the peach crop prospect IS almost
hopclessly gone. At the advent OF the cold
snap two weeks ago, the swelling buds
were almost ready to flower, and many
persons who have since examined their trees
say the greater part of the peach blooms
were then killed. If the present cold spell
does not complete the destruction, we shall
be agreeably surprised. The apple pros
pect is not yet materially injured.

Acoihcnt to ann Excursion Train.

Passengers who arrived yesterday by the
Nashville and Northwestern railroad, toll
us of an accident to the excursion train
over that road which left here Monday
evening, that delayed the excursionists
some time near Kingston Springs, but
happily resulted in no personal injury.
When almost in sight of the Springs, one
of the sleeping cars broke down, and the
passengers had to be transferred to other
parts of the train. The disabled coach was
left on the railroad, and after getting ready
again, the excursionists went on their way,
rejoicing that the matter was no worse.

At the attempted robbery and arson Of

and McLemore streets, on Sunday night,
the robbers who only got a small quantity
of change, missed getting $500 In green
backs by its being placed in larger drawer,
close to the one that was robbed. They
were evidently frightened away before their
designs were fully accomplished which was
