Our ola sisters OF Charity.

The old citizens of Nashville will re-
member hose Daughters of St. Vincent de
Paul who moved among us twenty years
ago, doing deeds Of charity, and whose sell
DENYING ministrations amid the horrors OF
the cholera seasons struck the chord OF ad-
mirslion in every generous heart. They
left here previous to The war, and it may IN
terest many TO know what they have been
doing since, for nearly every one OF them
is still alive and active in the duties OF Their
RELIGIOUS vocation. Leaving here IN 1917,
thew found an asylum at Leaven~orth,
Ks, under the auspices of Bishop Miege,
where they have since struggled and pros
pered, until now they have four establish
ments in that immediate vicinity, namely:
Mount st. Mary's Convent, outside of the
city, which is the NOviciate of the Order,
under charge of Mother Frances Xavier; St.
Mary's Academy in the city; another in
South Leavenworth, and a Furnishing
school at Fort Leavenworth above. Besides
thew have branched out and established
academies at Lawrence, Eudora and
Wyandotte, Kansas; and following the "a
cific railroad have made fcothold in Den
yer City, Colorado, and Helena, Montana,
the latter advance guard being under
charge OF SlSlSr MARY FuCoIt, he-AAA"
once familiar in Nashville circles. When
these sisters left here the community num-
bered only sixteen, but they have grown TO
a membership of one hundred and one.
Never weary Of well doing, they are now
anxious to enlarge their Orphan Asylum in
Leavenworth city, which is unequal in ac-
commodations to the demand upon it. The
orphans applying for admission are mostly
victims of the war in Missouri just across
the river, where it assumed all the CHASTITY
horrors of bitter civil strife, and whole
regions were ruthlessly devastated with tlre
and sword by Kansas Jayhawkers. Sister
| Johanna, whose benevolent face will be re-
membered by many of our citizens, has
| sent two Of the Sisters to this city in the
hope tuat cur people have not forgotten the
| DAYS Of yore. These Sisters are at present
sciourning at the residence of Mr.. Thomas
Farrell, and will be thankful for any con-
tributions for the cause of the orphan from
the old friends ofOur old Sisters of Charity,
without regard to creed or nationality. The
appeal will touch many a grateful heart ID
this community.

Police Pickings.

Only two cases on the police docket yes
terday morning.
Sam Gilber is gentleman of color who
has learned, during the forty years OF his
meanderings up and down this vale OF tears,
that in order for man to live, man must eat,
and Sam always manages to have provi-
sions of some kind OF hand. Whenever he
has the wherewithI to renumerate the
provision dealer, he pays for what he gets,
in the most ehesrful manner, but when his
finances run low, he is compelled to resort
to undetermined means to obtain the neces-
saries of life. He went to market Friday
evening for the purpose of purchasing some
fish but changed his mind when he found
that he hadn't a copper about him, that is
with regard to the purchasing. However,
he laid in plentiful supply of fish, which
he secured while the dealers attention was
occupied with other customers; carefully
copcealing his prize under his coat, he
walked off toward home at a remarkably
brisk space. A policeman who suspected
that ali was not right with Sam, followed
him up, overtaking him just as he reached
the quiet precincts of the domestic hearth,
whereupon Sam threw the hsn into va
cant room. lie was Immediately taken into
custody, and after the matter had been fully
investigated in the Police Court yesterday,
Sam entered into contract with the city TO
break rocks at the Workhouse for the next
thirteen days at the rate OF 70 cents per
diem.
c.. II. Thcrnburg Is, or rather has been,
an active Cheatham man. The Individual
who occupies room adjoining ME-. Thorn
burg's has held the opinion that the safety
Of the nation depended npon the election
IF Mr.. johnson to the United States SEN
ate, in consequence of which variance re-
garding politicd matters, Thorn5arg and
his neighbor have rot been on as friendly
terms of late, as might have been desired.
On Friday they had some warm words, and
soon after, Mr.. Thornburg was astOnished
by ths appearance of a p slicamau, who told
him that he had warrant for his arrest
upon the charge OF having used threatening
language, the charge being preferred by his
neigbb0r, the johnson man. When the
case was called yesterday, the complain
ant failed to put in an appear
ance. Thornburg made statement OF the
case, and threw himself upon the mercy Of
the court, saying that he was willing to
abide by the decision of that Judicial body
even if sentenced to be hung. When 1t is
remembered that the Nashville police court
has not sentenced any one to the gallows
for several days, the moderation of the
Judge in bidding the accommodating Thorn
burg go his way in peace, deserves the high
est praise. Thornburg evidently had live
" appreciation of the clemency shown him
as he expressed his thanks with voice
choked with emotion, assuring the Judge
that be would never forget his kindness, an(
if he ever wanted a reelection, he Nigh
safely count on the Thornburg vote.

Sad Fate Of an Aged Couple.

TERRE HAUTE, IND, Nov. 9.-Last
night Avery Plummer and wife, of Ellis
burg, Jefferson county, n. Y, were passen-
gers on the westward bound night express
train over the Vandslis line, and should
have left the train at this point and taken
the morning train for Evansville, whittier
they were bound. But they failed to obey
the directions of the conductor, and he
found them on the train after it had started
west from here. He then arranged for
them to stop at Marshall, the first stopping
place, and come back on the next train this
way. Before reaching Marshall he missed
the aged couple from the cars, and search
failed to find them. Men hunted for them
throughout the night, and at daylight found
their. dead bodies under the Clear Creek
trestle. They had mistaken the slowing of
the train, customary at that point, for the
stopping place, had stepped off and fallen
on the Jagged rocks fiftyifive feet below the
tradf, meeting instant death.

PROBATE COURT.--James E. Johnso
was appointed and qualified as administra-
tor of the estate of Charles B. johnson, de-
ceased.
CRIMINAL CoURT.-State vs.. Jacob, alias
Charley Daniels, colored, larceny. Jury re-
turned verdict of guilty, fixing his term of
IMPRISONMENT at three years, and he was
sentenced by the court.
State VS.. t. A. McCaffrey, alias Alex Nc
Caffrey, alias Chas. F. McClung, obtaining
money under false pretences. Verdict not
guilty, and prisoner remanded to jail to
await trial on similar charge.
LAW CoURT.-In this court the notice
for new trial in the case of Dunn vs.. Nash
vile and Chattanooga Railroad Company
was heard before Judge Andrew Alliso
The motion was based upon the verdict be-
ing against the charge of the court, and not
supported by the evidence. The charge was
submitted to by both parties, as clear and
able exposition of the principles of law gov
erning the case. Another question was
brought to the attention of the court: who
should pay the per diem of the special
jury, the county of Davidson, or
the defendant in the action? As
this item of costs amounts to something
like $500, it becomes matter OF some
moment. Both questions are held under
consideration by Judge Allison, who will
give his opinion to morrow. 9,
CHANCERY CoURT.-This Court was In
session yesterday, but no business Of

Great CONSERVATION was occasioned
among the citizens of Johnsonville, Hum
phreys county, Tenn, last Friday night, by
the discovery that Mr.. John B. Dickey, pro-
prietor of the Buckhorn Saloon, and well
known citizen of that place, had been muir
dered. The homicide took place at l03
O'Clock, in the saloon, nobody being present
but the murdered man and bis assassin.
Five pistol shots were fred, four OF which
took effect upon the body Of Mr.. Dickey,
causing instant death. When our inform
ant left Johnsonville at one o'clock yester-
day morning, the Coroner's jury had COM
menced its investigations, but nothing
was known to outsiders as 10 tne
nature of the evidence before them'
It is supposed that at the time OF being shot
Mfr. Dickeg was preparing to close the
house for the night, and 1t IS not prooaole
that the murder was committed for the
purpose of robbery, as no money or other
valuables were found to be missing. A
woman living near the saloon heard the
shots and also a cry for help. Other parties
noticed a man running away from the
house, going in the direction of the railroad
depot. Mr.. Dickey was very peacea0ie
citizen, and quite favorably regarded By the
people of Jacksonville and the vicinity. He
was about 45 years of age, a native Of New
Hampshire, and had resided at Johnsonville
since the close fthe war. As to who was the
perpesrator Of this atrocious deed nothing
is at this time positively known, although
SUSPICION is to some extent directed TO-
wards man with whom he was not on
very friendly terms, and who was the only
man with whom he bad any difficulty al
Johnsonville. 1t is expected that the find
ing of tho Coroner's jury will show whether
there is any reasonable foundation for this
suspicion. The remains OF Mr.. Dickey
viii be brought here for interment ST Mt
OIivet Cemetery. The funeral viii occur
at 9 o'clock this morning, carriages pro-
ceeding from the undertaking establishment

The Rnrnnrn show.

The name of "Barnum" is associated
with almost every important event in the
amusement world, and has been for the past
twenty-five years. "Barnum, the Humbug,"
is an appellation which he originally applied
to himself, and thus armored he asked the
public to pstronize him. They have done
so, and now Barnum, the same man that
he was twenty years ago, is acknowledged
in Europe and America IS the greatest and
most successful Snowman the world has
ever produced. His master museum, me-
nagerie and circus will exhibit IN Nashville
Tuesday and Wednesday next, 18th and
18th inst, and we are only asserting what
every one who attends the exhibitions will
corroborate, that no such crowds of people
havesever before assembled as that which
the ''Barnum Show" is certain to bring out

O'Connor, are at the Nicholson House.
The Knoxville Chronicle November 5, says
of their departure: "The happy couple
left on the ll:40 train for Nashville, on a
bridal tour. By some means or other sew
eral engines were near the depot at the time
of starting, and all the machine shops in
town seemed to know what precious freight
that train would carry, and all combined
gave our friend Nat glorious whistliDg
serenade. May much joy attend the happy
pair while down the stream of life they
sweetly glide"

The Louisville Ledger of Wednesday,
tells how the nice clerk of the Louisville
hotel was taken in by gorgeously attired
youth who parted his hair in the middle,
wore perfumed garments and carried a
notify cane. The confidence man had such
an irresist2bly winning way about him that
the clerk was only too happy to accommo-
date him with loan of thirty dollars, and
one morning, after running up a bill Of
seventy dollars, the young man Of the good
clothes and aristocratic air, walked off with.
out settling his account, forgetting to re-
turn.
Fortunately for the trusting proprietors
of the house and the accommodating clerk
the blk was arrested and now occupies les:
luxurious quarters in the city jail.
