Compromise of Church Property Question
at Athens

EDITORS CHRONICLE: A notice was
given you of the adjustment, by compro-
mise, of the claims to the possession of the
Methodist Church property of this place a
few days ago, and in that notice. the state
ment was made that the compromise was
satisfactory to all concerned In modi-
fication of such statement and as an item
of news much agitated here at present,
Will say that one of the propositions in the
compromise, as agreed to by both parties
was that the members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church were to hold whatever
church furniture they had purchased with
their own means and placed in the church
during the time they had occupied it. This
property included stoves, organ, chande-
lier, books, maps, &c. After the surrender
of possession to the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and when the members of
the other church asked for this property,
supposing it to be per agreement, as well
as equitably and legally their own, they
were denied this right, with the informa-
ton that the church must remain just as
it was left or they, the Church South,
would "fly the contract The organ,
books and maps, however, were turned
over. The value of the other property be-
longing 10 the Methodist Episcopal Church
and now thus held by the Church South,
is perhaps not far from seventy-five dol
lars, for which no suit at law or difficulty
of any kind is even contemplated. i have
not heard of any very great dissatisfaction
on either side as TO this condition of things
The members of the Southern Church are
left in peaceable possession of what they
refused to turn over, and of course are sat
isfed, and the members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church are perfectly satisfied
that they shall hold this small amount of
property, and leave the result to the "high-
est tribunal of justice" and an unpreju-
diced public But this action of the
Church south will modify somewhat the
statement that the compromise itself was
satisfactory to all concerned" otherwise
it would have been adhered to strictly.

PROVIDING FOR THE DESTITUTE.

a bill is now pending before the Legis-
lature amending the law establishing n
Criminal Court in Knox county, by ''cre-
ating the Office of District Attorney for
said county" We are not aware that the
bill contemplates any other change than
this county. If it does 1t is only to con-
ceal the real object. For the information
of the Legislature, and all who may be
interested, we will state what the object
Is. The present Attorney General is Re
publican. He received the support of Re-
publicans in his election. There are a few,
say two or three, Democrtic lawyers, here,
whose practice fails to provide them with
a good living, and their friends wish to
provide for them. They may have to re-
sort to something else to make u living,
unless this bill passes. It. then, is Il mat
ter of meat and bread to them. Hence.
they are anxious on the subject They
naturally manifest n good deal of concern
We suggest that the title of the bill be so
changed as to read, "An act for the relief
of certain INDECENT Democratic members
of the Knoxville Bar.n
But to speak seriously on this subject.
Some time ago, about the time the Legis-
lature first met, statement was made in
the form of circular, pointing out how
relief might be afforded to the people, by
establishing a new Judicial Circuit and
Chancery Division. 1t was proposed to
take off certain counties from the circuits
of Judge Randolph, Judge Hall and pro-
baby others.
1t is probable that the new circuit would
have been Republican. If we are not mis-
taken, the measure provided for giving
chancery jurisdiction to the Judge of the
new circuit, thus relieving Chancellors
Temple and Key from labor they cannot
possibly perform in way that will be sa-
tisfactory to suitors, as they are over-bur-
dened with the business of their positions.
But no attention has been paid to this
statement, for the reason, as we suppose,
that the new circuit embraces a majority
of Republican counties. Under the sem
blance of afiording relief, this bill is intro
duced providing for an Attorney General
tor Knox county. 1t affords no relief,
however, eXceptas we have above stated
that is for Democratic lawyers who must
be provided for by their party. VIII the
Legislature take the responsibility of pre-
viding for one of them ?

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.
The Rc.uit-Henvy nepubIIe.n Gain.

We can rejoice with all our hearts at the
results of Tuesday, but we can't exult
over foe so utterly routed as has been the
Democracy. The ranks of the party were
all broken and scattered before, but now
they present the most beggarly picture of
defeated maleontents that have ever
graced political battlefield Democratic
editors have lbeen writing long-winded
editorials about the disntegration of the
Republican party, while their own rotten,
corrupt organization was vergng upon
defeat that means oblivion. The result of
Tuesday as far as we can gather we give
in few words. ..
NEW YORK. Our majority in the En-
pire State, is about 81, 900, being a gain of
about $4,000. In the Assembly we will
have n majority of 40 on joint ballot, in
surng the election of Republican United
States Senator to succeed Mr.. Conkling.
MASSACHUSETTS, The old Bay state,
true to her former history, stands up in al
most solid phalanx, and gives a Republic
can majority of 10000, being gain of
IL 900 over last election. The Republicans
also gain in the Legislature.
ILLINoIs.-Gen. Beveridge, the candi-
date for Congress from the State at large,
is elected by $4,000 majority, a gain of
1000.
MINEsoTA.-The returns indicate gain
of about 1000 for the Republican ticket,
and an increase in the Legislature.
WISCONSIN. Washburn, the Republic
can candidate for Governor, is elected by
an increased majority, while the Legisla-
ture is largely Republican, insuring the
election of a Republican United States
Senator, to succeed Mr.. Howe.
MARYLAND.-The Democratic candidate
for Governor was elected. but the Repub-
licans made gain of 1000. The last Leg
islature was unanimously Democratic. A
number of Republicans were chosen on
Tuesday.
VIRGINIA.-The Old Dominion has gone
Conservative by 10000.
sIssIPPI.-Dispatches to the Mem
phis papers indicate that the Republicans
will have n majority of about ten on Joint
ballot. The majority will not fall below
this.

How Col. Grosyenor was Killed.

The public generally, and especially po-
lice circles, were startled this morning by
the report, which unhappily proved true,
that Col. Thomas w. Grosvenor, Prosecu-
ting Attorney of Chicago, was shot this
morning by patrol and died in few
hours atterward. The facts as ascertained
by our reporter are these: About II o'clock
last night Col. Grosvenor descended from
Cottage Grove car and walked towards
the Douglas Hotel, where he had been re-
siding with his family. AS he neared the
house patrolman called on him to stop,
at the same time presenting n rifle. The
Colonel replied indifferently that he would
pass on, whereupon the patrolman de-
manded the password. The Colonel said
something about his having no knowledge
of the password and of his intention to
pass on into the hotel. The patrol said he
would fire. the Colonel replied that he
might, and was moving on, when bullet
from the patrolman's rifle broke his arm
and lodged in his body. The Colonel had
gain his own room, where, at 9 o'clock this
morning, surrounded 10y his wife and little
ones, he breathed his last.
The fatal affair was reported to Sergeant
Barrett, of the College Grove Station, who
sent out, arrested the patrolman, and lock-
ed him up. The unfortunate assailant is
young man named Theodore n. Treat,
student at the Douglas University, who
belongs to u militia organization formed
since the great contlagration. His state
ment of the sad affair does not differ from
that made above, except that he insists that
the Colonel, when asked for the watch
word, replied that he "might 90 to the
devil. ~ Chicago Paper. ".

CRYsTALIZED wERS.-COnstruct
some baskets of fancy form with pliable

Into these tie to the bottom violets, ferns,
geranium leaves-in fact, any flowers ex-
cept full-blown roses-and sink them in

The colors will then be preserved in their

A certain burglar, not to mention names
for fear of giving offence, on being taken
TO Sing Sing prison, was asked what was
his profession? "A bank clerk, said he.
He then told the following story to illus
trate how he obtained his profession. The
method is certainly ingenious, though not
to be recommended for general adoption !:
~ was watching a country bank for some
little time, and ] noticed that the paying
teller wore striped coat and straw hat
The clerks left the bank at about / O'Clock
for dinner. / got II straw hat a striped
coat, and for several days took my seat on
the steps of the bank. One day | saw my
opportunity. The paying teller and most
OF the clerks went out ! went in, pulled
off my hat and coat, hung them up where
| had seen the teller hang his, and went
around to the desk The books were open,
and here and there were piles of bills. !
Went 10 work at the bnokH, and made the
most remarkable entries ever recorded in
the books of any bank in this world or any
other ! pOckete1 the bills. one after an
other, and putting on my coat aud hat,
went ON my way fifteen thousand dollars
better of than ever was before"

BY way of correcting the impression that
seems to have gone forth that Chicago
has been burned up, the erening Journal
says: While Is, 900 houses have been swept
away, 1900 yet remain and while 81, 900
persons have been rendered homeless, an
immense city of 2i5, 900 persons has not
been disturbed. The whole of the i'm
mense area of the West Division, with its

North Carolina kuklux,

Considerable excitement was created on
our streets on Monday last. by the arrival
from Yancey county of a batch of six pris-
oners, in irons, under the escort of deputy
sheriff William j. Edney, of that county.
Upon enquiry, we learned that the pris-
oners were Harris Hancy, Wilson, Price,
Higgins and McIntush, and are charged
with highway robbery, burglary, murder
and rape, John Higgins and Albert McIn-
tush being charged with the latter crime
We have been shown a portion of the evil
dence in this case, the perusal of which
acquaints us with one of the most afro
cious outrages ever perpetrated in a civil
lied community,
The Asheville Pioneer, of the 9th, con-
tains the above, and adds that the sheriff
of Yancey county has succeeded in arrest
ing Higgins and McIntush, two of the
parties accused of this outrage. During
the week, court being in session at the
time the grand jury presented bill Of
indictment against them for the crime
they, in company with four others, were
sent to this Jail for safe keeping. The
good people of Yancey owe it to them
selves to rise up in their might and hazard
everything in the attempt to put n stop to
the lawlessness and crime in that county
