AN ATTACK on 4 POLICE OFFICER.

Between six and seven O'Clock last evening,
Oficer willon. OF the Sixteenth precinct noticed
John Dunn and John Deery, two notoriously bad
characters, standing on the corner OF Twenty
sixth street and Tenth avenue apparently endeav-
oring TO create disturbance, The of1cer ordered
them them to move on and received an indecent
reply from Dunn, whereupon he seized the rufflan
BY the neck and started Tor the station house.
Deery seeing his companion about 10 be locked up,
ran TO the middle Of the street and picked up q
large paving stone with which he struck the oficer
terrible blow on the back OF the head, felhng him
to the ground. Dunn and Deery at once ran down
the street, but were met by another officer VINO
arrested them. Officer Wlllon was removed to his
residence No. 339 West Seventeenth street. where
ne was attended by a surgeon, who pronounced his
injury to be OF very serious nature.

blows on the head before he succeeded by tae
vigorous use OF his club-cutting him severely In

A SOCIAL GOVERNOR.

Gov. Powell, of Kentucky, was never
an orator, but his conversational, story
telling and social qualities were remark
able. His great forte lay in establishing
a personal intimacy with every one he
met and in this way he was powerful in
electioneering. He chewed immense
quantities of tobacco, but never carried
the weed himself, and was always beg
ging it of every one he met. His resi-
dence was in Henderson, and IN coming
up to Ohio past that place gentleman
overheard the following characteristic
anecdote of him
A citizen of Henderson, coming on
board, fell into conversation with pas
senger, who made inquiries about Pow
ell.
"He livesin your place, Ibelieve, don't
hep
Yes, one of our Oldest citizens"
Very sociable man, amt he?"
Remarkably so.''
"Well l thought so; think he is one
of the most sociable men 1 ever met in
my yife-wonderfully sociable. was in-
toduced to him over at Grayson Springs
last summer, and he hadn't been with
me ten minutes when be begged all the
tobacco had, got his feet up in my lap,
and spit all over me-remarkably soci-
able"

The Social Cancer.

ST. LOUIS, March 2S.-The social evil
question, which has excited great interest
in this city during the past winter, and
been the subject of much contention in the
Legislature, was finally settled at the night
session of the House last night. The bill
repeating the regulating clause of the City
Charter was passed, and then the bill
which passed tie Senate Tuesday, and
which retains the present hospital and re-
formatory, and prevents raiding on bawdy-
houses, was adopted by large majority.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-In Brooklyn,
over thirty lady visitors went out, yester-
day, under the auspices of the Women's
Temperance Union and tried to get sigma
lures to pledges not to sell liquors for
beverages. They visited the keepers of
groceries, druggists, property holders and a
few saloon keepers. The visitors report a
kind reception and affirm that a number of
signatures were obtained at the drugstores
and groceries, and among property holders.
In one saloon. which three ladies visited,
prayer was offered, the proprietors and Gus
TONERS manfesting marked interest, and in
that saloon and in another the dram sellers
said they hoped 10 change their trade.

HON. JOHN s. KERR FOR GOV.
ERNNR
From the Memphis Appeal


We copy the following gworthily-beStowed
compliment of Col. Kerr from the Western
Methodist, of this city: ave notice that
our distinguished fellOw-citizen, Col. John
S. Kerr, is referred to in the journals Of the
State as a probable candidate for Governor
of Tennessee. We have nothing to do
with politics, but it affords us pleasure to
express our high opinion, not only of the
abilities Of Col. Kerr, but of his excellent
character. A gentleman Of great moral
and social worth, and of invincible integ-
rity, we esteem him as one of the pillars
and ornaments of orr city, and well worthy
of the confidence of the State. We have
long known Col. Kerr as a man of large
intellectual capacity and elevated social
position, whose eXcellences of character
qualify him for any civil station to which
he might be called by the people. IfmOral
purity, indomltable energy and intellectual
gifts are requisite in the chair of the State.
we are quite sure that Col. Kerr is one of
the right men, and too few there are, for
that chair."
