MCLEAN County Progress: Mr..
Robert Calvert, a couple of miles from
this place, has put out several acres of
tobacco the present week.
SPENCER Journal: The jury in the
case of the Commonwealth VS.. j. d.
0'Connor for the murder of Abram
Anderson, after a delay of several
days, rendered a verdict last Wednes-
day. He was found guilty and his
punishment fixed at confinement in
the penetenitiary for life. His attor-
neys have entered a motion for a new
trial.
SPENCER Journal: 1t was rumored
in Louisville lately that one mob was
coming from Spencer to rescue John d.
O'Conner, and that another was CON-
ing from Oldham to lynch Mickey.
If the Oldhamites are making no more
preparations in the one direction
than the Spencerites are in the other,
Jailer Camp may well exclaim with
Phil. Sheridan, 81 am not afraid"
OwENsBoRo Examiner: The lect-
ure of Mr.. j. H. Powell in this city
Monday night was an intellectual and
OratOrical feast rarely set before our
people; and, we are glad to add, his
audience was worthy of the cause and
occasion. PROFESSIONALLY, Mr.. Pow
ellis oratorIcal abilities are first-class,
aud should he at any future time make
an appointment to speechify in this
city, we can promise him an audience
almost as the "sands of the sea-"
MCLEAN County Progress Prof
j. II. Harper, sister and little son,
came near meeting with a serious acct
dent on Saturday last. They had been
over to Greensboro, and, when return
ing in the evening, while somewhere
between Panther creek and Chenille,
the carriage in which they were riding
ran against one Of the horses while
going down hill, when they started to
run away. The carriage top was torn
off and all thrown out, Mr.. Harper be-
ing run over. He stuck to the reins,
however, and succeeded in running the
horses into the fence and stopping
them. Fortunately none of them were
hurt, but the buggy was considerably
shattered.

RAILROAD accidents are getting to
be quite common over the state; the
latest one we have heard from occurred
near Denton's mills, on the Glasgow
branch, last Wednesday morning,
which came near being a serious affair.
The accident was caused by COW get
ting on the track, which precipitated
the passenger coach from the track.
There were a large number of passen-
gers aboard, several of whom
were more or less injured by
bruises and cuts. Among the par
ties receiving injuries was Gov. Leslie
of Glasgow, but whom we are glad to
learn was not injured very badly.

OwENsBoRo Examiner: The Dick
johnson, last Sunday, emptied into
our streets an excursion party number
ing three hundred strong. The visit
Ors were from Cannelton, Hawesville
and ROckpOrt. Numbers of them at
tended church at the several places of
worship in the morning, and in the af-
ternOOn they passed the time, some of
them i'll strolling the streets and look
ing at the metropolis of the Green riv-
err country, while Others repaired to
the shady retreats of Floral Park and
jerked cooling beverages.
OwENsBoRo Examiner: A fire oc.
CURED in this city last Wednesday
morning about one o'clock, which re-
suited in the burning of large double
tenement frame house occupied by Mr..
John Bishop. All the family wearing
apparel together with the biggest por-
ton of the household goods were de-
stroyed. Mr.. Bishop is a poor man
and can lily afford his losses. The
buildings destroyed were valued at
$4,000, and we're owned by Mr.. A,
BOree, of Louisville. The amount of
insurance upon the buildings is not
known. 80. L.. -....
PADUCAH News: About five o'clock
yesterday evening an accident occurred
on Trimble street, which will, in all
likelihood, result i'll the death of Mr..
Thomas Lucy, whose residence is near
Woodville. He cane to town on Mr..
Dug Penn's wagon, which was loaded
with hogshead of tobacco. As the
wagon was crossing over the track
of the P. and NJ railroad the
mules became frightened at the cars,
and whirlmg suddenly threw the old
man Oft the wagon in front of the fore
wheel. The wheels passed over his
leg and body, breaking his leg and Sc
riously injuring him internally. He
was taken to the residence of Mr.. Ben
Lanier, where he is receiving every at
tention. Mr.. Lucy is about sixty-fve
years of age, and the chances are
strongly against his recovery.
GLASGOW Times: Mr.. John Sims,
quite an elderly gentleman living on
Cumberland river, was the victim of
one of the most villainous and bold
robberies which we have noticed for
many a day. He arrived in Louisville
last Wednesday night on the train from
Jacksonville, and was making his way
out of the train for the purpose of 60
ing to the depot of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, when he was sud-
denly seized from behind by a stout
rufian who held his arm firmly, while
two Of his cOmfederates deliberately
proceeded to search his person for HULL
ey and other valuables. They succeed
ed in getting all the money he had and
then beat hasty retreat. The old
man says he never prayed in his life
so oarneatly for strength to bring his
cane down over the heads of the in
famous scOundrels, but owing to his
extreme age, being near ninety years
of age, and being held firmly, he could
only grit his teeth and submit to the
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1876-05-31

to 4 position where he will have many
millions TO handle. Proof that Bal
cock had done this thing would have
convicted him of conspiracy beyond all
peradventure, and set him to saving
stone in striped suit 4: but proof that
Tuition did it entities Tuition to reward.
Not word is said against the charac-
ter or administration of Comfy, the
present Collector of Philadelphia; on
the contrary, he is one of the few ap-
pointees of Grant who is universally
regarded rs "honest" in pecuniary
matters. But Tuition wants hts place.
TUITION Is A REVENUE DETECTIVE,
spy paid by the Government to in
firm on taxpayers and revenue officers.
His business is, historically, political
ly, socially, literarily, dramatically
and literally, disrepmabIe. He is a
common informer, and the elements
that go to make up that sort of charac-
ter need not be descanted upon. To
he, to deceive, to lure to seduce, to
seek confidence and betray it, to pre-
tend friendship and sell the victim for
money, to SHADOW" men and "spot'
them, to put up jobs, write decoy let
tiers, sell Illicit goods as bait, and lay
traps of all sorts for the weak aud UNI
wary-these are the devices of de-
tectiw. 1t is safe rule to disbelieve
all detectives on oath, unless strongly
corroborated by reliable evidence
Tuition has recently been reminded by
Commissioner Pratt, in a sharp letter,
that he is a detective. 1t seems that
the Supervisor, that is, Boss Spy. of
the Internal Revenue in Pennsylvania,
lives in bennington, Chester County,
and that he opened an office in his own
house and charged the government
rent for it, which we may be sure was
equal its value. Commissioner Pratt
could find no authority for the pay
ment of this rent under the law, and
also thought Philadelphia the proper
location for the Supervisors office so
he directed Tuition to locate in a room
furnished there for the purpose by the
the Government. Tuition, big with
the consciousness of power gained in
saving Babcock, declined, and asked
Commissioner Pratt's authority for the
change. WhereupOn, the heavy ex-
Senator from Indiana came down up
on Tuition with a notification that he
was nothing but a detective, and sub
ordinate of the Com'r /; which treason
why" couched in somewhat tart phra-
seology, has beed rednced and posted
up around the Custom House of Phil
adelphia, for the amusement of the
tidewaiters and others. Still, Tuition
is more of man to Grants liking
than Comfy is, and the chances are
in his favor. Republicans in Phila-
'delphia have taken the alarm, and
asked the President to desist, on the
ground that it will injure the party.
because the people will suppose that
TuttOn's appointment is reward for
the Babcock letter. So the people
will. And the people are right.
