A man named Frank johnson attempted
to rob Mr.. Silas Wright, of Wilson county,
last night, at Dix's Hotel, No. 90 South

Mr. Dix gave him a sensible lecture, pune
tuating his remarks with kicks and per-

sents himself as a first class cook. He
carries valise upon which are marked the

oar Prospect for Cheaper Coal.

There is at present considerable talk
among the people about the prospect for
cheaper coal, and it is not a matter of sur
prise that in view of financial depression
and approaching cold weather, consumers
should be especially gratified at indications
of an early reduction in prices. With the
commencement of the ensuing week, the
new rates Of the Tennessee Coal and Rail
road Company will be made public, and IL
is not probable that other dealers will be
slow to cut down prices. The prospect for
cheaper coal is rendered still more certain
by the fact that another company which
has had no connection with our coal mar
ket during the past two years, has about
completed its arrangements for supplying
Nashville with coal to the extent of its
ability, which is by no means limited.
They rave several boat loads now on the
way here, and facilities for regular supplies
in large quantities. II will doubtless be
their policy 10 initiate other dealers in the
proposed reduction Of prices.

THE RAILROAD ROBBERY.
CIese Of the Investigation at Bowling
Green-BrakesmRn Fairbanks Ae-
omitted and the Others BOund Over


a special telegram to this paper, last
night, says the preliminary trial of Cor
ductOr Sloat, Ed Fairbanks and other en-
plOyes Of the Louisville and Memphis Rail-
road, who were arrested on the 14th inst,
on the charge of robbins freight cars, was
closed at Bowling Green, yesterday. No
case was made against Fairbanks, and be
was honorably discharged. Sloat was held
under bond of 500 to answer before the
Circuit Court. Houghton and Welsh were
held under bonds Of $50 each. 1t is be-
lieved that good deal depends on the cap
ture Of Maddox.
Fairbanks is we'll known at Bowling
Green, having been in the employ of the
railroad company a number Of years and
always borne an excellent reputation.
Sloat is comparatively a stranger there,
having come from Evansville, where he is
well connected. Some of his friends ar
rived yesterday, and very promptly aided
him in giving bond.

To Sweep or Not 10 sweep.

An ordinance of the City Council APP
proved June p, 1874, requires the ''foOt
pavementS and sidewalks in front of all
houses to be clearly swept by eight O'Clock
every morning" the penalty for a failure
to comply being fine Of s.. Il is not re-
corded that great many such fines have
been imposed, if any at all, and it may
therefore be inferred that there was not
very pressing necessity for the enactment
Of the law mentioned. Its author aud his
contemporaries were doubtless prompted
by good mo:ive-to secure al the clean
illness possible within the city limits. 1t
was not an objectionable fault that in
jealous effort to promote the public well
fare, they forgot the efficacy of gentle per-
suasiOn and sOugl to inflict a pecuniary
penalty as the best means they could de-
wise for securing clean sidewalks. As at
present regarded by our city officials and
citizens generally, this sweeping law would
be a very good one to repeal.

The weather for the past week has been
quite favorable to the progress of the haI-
vest, and the wheat in this section is cut
and nearly all stacked. Wheat has turned
out much better than the expectations
were few weeks ago. although here abouts
it does not reach fair average yield, and
of course falls far behind the crop of last
year. Farmers are now cutting oats which
have yielded finely. Corn and potatoes are
promising we'll.
Reports from various parts Of the state,
carefully compiled and compared, in iicate
that tie yield of small grain in the State as
whole will hardly be half as much as
last year Wheat is especially short from
drouth and chinch bug. 1t is remarked
however, that even in the worst districts
there are fields yielding large crops of su.
perior grain

had no control of the same for over an hour

unwholesome air, to expose themselves to
VIOLENT alterations of heat and cold and to
brave other evils inimical to health and lite

the dangers which surround them by prop

it has been public fact, undenied even by
the martinets of the medical profession,
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the best
antioote to malaria and the finest acclimat-

where the conditions are unfavorable to

For the Minnesota Destitute.

Great suffering is taking place among the
people in portions of Minnesota occasoned
by the destruction of the crops for the
past two years by the grasshoppers, and
earnest appeals for aid for the destitute in
haoitants have been made. Hon. J. F.
Daniels, of Fairmount, Martin county, one
Of the worst afflicted counties OF Minnesota.
has been in the city in the interest of the
suffering people Of his section. Mr.. Daniels.
who is a brother Of Mr.. N. c. Daniels of
this city, is fully comm ssoned for the
work Of securing aid by letter from Cover
nor Davis, of Minnesota, and commission
from the clerk of Martin county, SO that
his authority is genuine. Mr.. Daniels can
satisfy the most incredulous person by
speaking with him few moments of the
great restitution that exists among the
1000 people of Martin county, and the in
tense suffering that must prevail among
them the coming winter if their necessities
are not provided for.
The case of che Martin County settlers is
one that appeals strongly to the charity of all
and we trust Watertown will not be behind
other places in the work of coming forward
and contributing 10 the wants Of these peo-
pie. angensnts will be made the present
week and committees appointed to solicit
contributions Of money and clothing among
our citizens for these sufferers. Superin-
tendsnt Merrill, Of the Milwaukee 4 st.
Paul Ry., has very kindly granted free
transportation of goods along the lines of
the Milwaukee / St. Paul for the destitute
people.
