A Veteran Of 1912 Gone.

George Allen, grandfather of Fl. b.
Allen, firIR of Ruckner IL Co., this city,
died recently at Caney Springs, Maury
county. He was long noted for his piety
and uprightnesS, his great kindness of
heart and amiable disposition. Born in
North Carolina in 1850, he emigrated to
Davidson county about the beginning of
the present century. In the war of 1872,
he fought under jackson, as first Lieutenant
in Capt. DaltOn's company, Col. William
sons regiment and Gen. Coffee's Brigade.
He was present at the battle of New Or
leans and in battles against the Indians,
including the battle of the Horse Shoe,
where tn. strength of the Creek nat ion
was broken. and their bravest warriors were
annihilated. At Pensacola he was present
when Col. Williamson received the sword

Agree.
The prediction made in the UNION AND
AMERICAN yesterday that she jury i'll the
Powers ease would not agree upon YER
dict. was verified yesterday. Soon afer the
opening Of the court yesterday morning.
the foreman OF the Jury no ified Judge Fra
zier that they had found it impossible to
unite upon a verdict, and he, therefore, re-
quested that they might be discharged.
This request the Judge refused, at that
time, but upon a second application for
dismissal being made about IL o'clock, it
was granted, one of the juTyInen, Mr.. WaS-
oner. being quite sick.
Il is said that seven of the jury wete IN
favor of bringing in a verdict Of murder in
the first degree, four in favor Of a verdict
of murder in tie second degree. and one in
favor OF acquittal. After being out for
some time. the seven expressed their will
ingneSS TO agree with the four who were
willing to find the prisoner guilty Of mar
der in the second degree, provided the one
who was in favor of aequittal, Mr..
COrley would do the same, but 70 this prop
osition the latter would not consent, hence
the expense and delay Of a new trial will
have to be undergone.

above the present works, AID as a natural
consequence renders the water to some ex-
tent impure. II new works are erected at
the above mentioned point, the reservoir
will be placed on TOdd's Knob, which is
about one hundred and seventy-five feet
above the present reservoir. This eleva-
ton would give sixty-fOur pounds pressure
per square inch in the highest part of the
city, and in other portions of the city of
from one hundred to one hundred and
thirty pounds per inch, thus enabling the
city to dispense with fire engines, which
would be a saving to the city Of at least
twenty-five thousand dollars per annum, as
every fire-plug would be sufficient TO extin-
guish any fire without the use Of the engine.
This would certainly cause a considerable
reduction in the item of insurance to our
citizens.
Il believe the City Engineer made the
survey YOU suggested in Your report -
Eyes, and he also made a verbal report
to the Boards with regard 10 the ere ton
of a reservoir on CuTTey'S Hill near Fort
Negley, to contain 100000 gallon 5, but
the objection to this location would be that
the reservoir could not be extended if it
were found necessary, while at TOdd's
Knob it could be. The pumps would be
left where they are now if the Curry Hill
site were selected, and the reservoir would
be on a level with the IoOf of the Capital
Building. The expense connected with
the Currey Hill proposition would eS3jO,-
900. while if TOdd's Knob were selected,
the cost would be over $4,000, but would
be the cheapest in the long run
Upon leaving Mr.. Wyatt, the reporter
proceeded to the Office Of Mr.. Glenn, where
he received copy Of City Engineer Fosters
report, referred to by MN Wyatt.

il is nv duty to place sguarely and
truthfully before the people living
along the line of our road the facts in
reference TO the taxes of 1873. as levied
upon the property of this company. to-
gether with the results which will un-
Questionsbly follow, if the evils COM
mitted, are permitted to be repeated in
subsequent years.
The true position Of the road. and
indeed of every road in the state of
Kansas, is not fairly understood by the
people. Designing men have used
every possible means of misrepresen-
tation to arouse all through the state
feeling OF hostility towards railroads,
which bids fair not only to increase
their difficulties aud retard their pro-
gress. but which will unquestionably
end in great injury TO the state itself.
Speaking for this road. we can fairly
claim that we have past record of
which we are not ashamed. aud il We
can obtain simple justice, either at the
hands of the people or from the courts,
we have before us a prosperous future.
in which the whole people upon our
line viii share: for we have ALWAYS
