ago. assisted by Max Swinburne, the
German burglar, and by this burglary
they secured a sum amounting to over
100000.

Two years ago Iowa abolished capital
punishment, but murders and murderers
have SO largely increased during the
past two years, that it is probable they
j will restore the old law at the session of
the Legislature this winter. In Demoines
jail alone are ten murderers awaiting
| trial.

an Important pronositinn.

The County Court on yesterday laid over
the railroad business to come before that
Ood@ at this term till to-day. We under
stand that aprOpOsitiOn viii JO-day bemade.
when such railroad business is taken up by
the Tennessee Central road, for the county
OF Davidson TO transfer certain stock owned
IN another company 10 that road, on condi-
ton that said road return a like amount of
stock, and also that the Nashville, Chatta-
noOga and St. Louis road agree TO do GER
tain other things of a very large kind.
At present, il Is true that the West Ten
neSSee system of railways is adverse 10 any
free commercial communication with this
part OF Tennessee, with the exception of
one side that is sheared by the old North
western line, which finally ends in Ken
lucky. 1t is also true that some OF the
very richest lands of the State. and sections
OF the most enterprising citizens. will be
reached by the construction of the Tenpes-
see Central road. which road runs west
Wardly from Huntingdon through the best
hall OF Carroll county, leaving Madison
close on the left; then solidly through Gill
son; then entirely through the new county
OF Crockett, leaving Dyer contiguous on the
night then through n corner Of Haywood,
and then entirely through Lauderdale. IL
also makes connection at desirable points
with four great lines-at one point making
connection with New Orleans and at an
other with Memphis, which two conne
tions as made, it is agreed by all intelli-
gent railroad men, are highly i'm ,ortant.
The county Of Davidson will here have a
line outlet for the sale of surplus stock.
meat and grain, and the city of Nashville
Tor her manufactured implements and fab
rcS and her wholesale trade.
We do not here propose pressing this
question on u intelligent Court. What
we wish to say IS that this city and county
are either interested or they are not. How
ever We may stand related, we all are af-
fected alike. Let, therefore, the applica-
ton be dispassionately heard and impair
italy acted upon.

Died Yesterday.

Mr.. Hiram P. Earhart, of Earhart's Bus.
mess College, died at half past three YES.
terday morning. His health had been
broken for three years and he had been
gradually wasting away with consumption,
and became convinced several weeks AGO
that his death was near at hand. But the
last great change brought no terrors to
him, as his was a consistent christians life.
He was member of MeKendree Church.
and during the time he has been confined
to his room, was tenderly waited upon bv
members Of that church, and numerous
other friends.
The father and mother of the deceased.
who reside near Davenport. Iowa, have
been telegraphed the sad event, and the re-
mains will be taken North for burial. As
an educator, Mr.. Earhart was known and
respected through all the Southern States.
and the news of his death will cause sor-
row in many hearts.

Something Gorgeous.

AT theIr meeting yesterday, the Police
committee adopted as a uniform. TO be
worn by the police of Nashville during the
summer months, a Palmetto hat, white
vest, blue blouse and white pants. The
members of the force manifest considerable
indignation at this action of the commit
tee, and grOwl at being compelled TO buy
new suits after having already purchased
summer suits Of the style heretofore rec
commended by the Police Committee.
We trust their objections will not be
needed. True, they get ouIy SIS per month.
and most of them support families on this
sum, and consequently the purchase of new
clothing, when they don't need any, is
something of an item with them, but surely
they have no right to deprive the citizens OF
Nashville Of a gorgeous spectacle. We
imagine we see a Palmetto hated, white
vested and white trOwsered platoon of po-
lice officers, marching through the streets.
on their way to their respective stations, in
a driving rain storm. And what sight could
be more interesting to the commemorative
mind than that of a couple of Palmetto
hated, white vested and white trowsered
policemen, fishing a drunken loafer out of
the gutter on a rainy night, and carrying
him to the lookup, he struggling and kick
ing vigorously meanwhile?
Let us dress the members Of our present
police force in Palmetto hats, white vests
and white trOwsers, by all means, and then
let us pack them way in cotton, so that
their nice clothes may not become soiled.

Roating ON the tennessee.

lit this season of the year the upper
Tennessee and its tributaries are lined with
flat-boats laden with corn, wheat and cOun-
try produce slowly drifting toward Chatta-
nooga, the principal mart for the valleys OF
East Tennessee and Southwestern Virgin
la. Usually a number of farmers combine
in building a boat to transport their grain,
or employ a boat-Owner as an agent to car
~ the grain to market, giving him a COM
mission; but in many cases the grain is &C
cumulated by country merchants, who
ship it or contract for shipping. The
boats are roughly made and guided with
poles. They make only one voyage and
when unloaded at Chattanooga are sold for
what they will bring. They are sometimes
bought TO be used by farmers below in
transporting their grain into Alabama, hut
purchasers usually put the lumber to new
uses, as building sidewalks in Chattanooga.
Boatman who steer them down return to
the u]p-cOuntry by steamer or rail.
