A Fatal shot.

About twelve O'Clock, dn the 23d, just as
the freight train arrived at Midway Sta.
ton, sixty-five miles from this city, on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad, a sad accident occurred at a
house near the station, 10y which a young
man, eighteen years Of age, named Alex
Brown lost his life almost instantaneously.
He had taken down an old rifle, and hav-
ing no idea of its being loaded, placed his
foot on the hammer, while he attempted to
blow in it to ascertain whether 1t was clear
in the tube, as is often done. The gun,
however, was loaded, and his foot slipping
off the hammer the load was discharged in
his mouth, the ball passing into his head,
causing almost instant death. The con.
ductorgiving us the information says it was
horrible to behold the grief aud hear the
shrieks of the relatives of the deceased
young man. Another warning voice
AGAINST the careless use of firearms.

The VIrginius,

Attorney General Williams says of the
Virginius:
Spain, no doubt, has right to capture
vessel with an American register, and car

waters, assisting, or endeavoring TO assist,
the instruction in Cuba; but she has no
right to capture such a vessel on the high
sers upon an apprehension that, in violation
of the neutrality or navigation laws of the
United States, she was on her way to assist
said rebellion.
Spain may defend her territory tand
people from the hostile attack of what
is, or appears to be, an American vessel /;
but she has no jurisdiction whatever over
the question to whether or mot such YES
sci is on the high seas in violation of any
law of the United States. Spain can not
rightfuily raise that question as TO the Vir-
ginius, but the United States may, and, "a

honesty 4. the Best Policy.

We have never seen better illustra-
ton OF the truth Of this old adsge than
is afforded by the success Of the gift
concerts Of the Public Library Of Ken
lucky, under the management Of Gov.
Bramlette. Three Of these concerts
have been given, each Offering scheme
of a million dollars. The public were
so accustomed to being humbugged by
dishonest enterprises Of the same ma
ture that they we're slow to take hold Of
the tickets, Notwithstanding the high
character Of the management aud their
confidence in the individual projectors
of the scheme. Only $4,000 tickets
we're sold for the FIRST concert, and the
gifts awarded and paid on that basis.
The second, just one year after, more
than doubled the first, and the growing
confidence Of the public eliminated in
the sale of the whole 100000 tickets of
the third, which came off on the Sth Of
July. Now, when the managers present
the unprecedented scheme of 100000
for the fourth, nobody hesitates, nobody
doubts its success. The only question
is, how many chances can we afford to
take.

Fire In Chelsea.

This morning at l clock fire broke
cut in the lumber mill of G. NJ. Venable,
located on the Paducah railroad, in
Chelsea. The fire lighted up the north
ern heavens in a brilliant manner, and
in two hours the building, machinery
and many thousand feet of lumber were
destroyed. Two lines of hose were at
tached to the fre-plug in front of the
gas works, but the powerful pressure OF
the water burst the hose several times,
and hence no continuous stream OF
water could be kept up. The sections
of hose we're extended many hundred
feet and, being old, we're unable to stand
the pressure of eighty pounds to the
inch. As it was, however, all the water
thrown came from the FIRE plugs, the
engines being on the ground, but their
aid was not called into requisition. The
loss will exceed $4,000. Mr.. Farris,
superintendent of the mill, is of opinion
that the fire was the work Of an incen'
diary.

This morning about seven o'clock, as
Mr.. George P. Caller, city reporter for
Bradstreet & Sons Mercantile Agency,
was standing at the back door of his
boarding house, on the corner af Court
and Third streets, a shot was fred at
him by some person unknown. The
ball grazed his left temple, cutting the
skin and carrying away lock or two of
his hair. He fell Immediately and was
carried into the fouse. The wound bled
profusely, but in a few minutes Mr..
Cabler recovered from the shock. The
would,be assassin, who was in an adjoin-
ing lot, fred from over fence, and then
passed out rapidly into the alley and
escaped both recognition and arrest.
Mr.. Cabler is cognizant of no cause for
this attempt upon his life, and was not
aware that he had an enemy in the city.
The police took the matter in hand, and
are investigating the affair, which inves-
tigation may develop something that
will lead to the arrest of the would.be
murderer.
