That JOSEPH He'll, tho young truckman
who had his skull fractured when thrown from
his truck. was treated as n drunken man. from
the time when the stupid and cruel Policeman
ROBINS found him lying in the street to the
moment at which Doorman BURBANK locked
him in q cell. is abundantly shown by the test-
mony in yesterdays inquest. The brutality OF
the police continued even after He'll began to
breathe stertoruusly. and his pulse became
almost mpcrccptiblc. The jury. by thoir YER
dict. fastcn the responsibility for his death upon
the Police Department. not upon the officers
who We're actors in the tragedy OF his death.
These club carriers the jury held. were acting
in accordance with regulations. II the Police
Commissioners fancy that they are to escape
with the mild censure that IL included in the
Iury's verdict in this cuse. they may as well dis
miss that Illusion. They must modify their
rules respecting their subordinates' treatment
Of persons who are arrested on charge of
drunkenness.

a Political Pariah" is the heading Of n
notice in the Abbeville Medium Of the death Of
a remarkable man. =. W. REYNOLDS was a
native South Carolinian. and an owner of
slaves. Becoming convinced that he could not
conscientiously hold human beings as proper
ty. he manumitted all his negroes and moved to
Wisconsin. After the war he went back home,
still an aboltionist and Republican. He was
stunned by his old neghbors. and hated and
deridcd as a fanatic. But he continued to ad-
vocate his principles with virulence and ability.
Notwithstanding repeated threats of personal
violence. In 1874 he ran for Congress. and WAS
defeated and then he went back to Wisconsin.
REYNOLDS was well educated. fine writer. and
fair orator He deserves at least. the credit
OF having been thoroughly sincere.

List of Members.


The following is a complete list Of
members elected to the next legisla-
ture. The names of Democrats are
printed in roman, Republicans marked
with an asterisk and Nationals in
small caps.
The Republicans have elected three
senator's and fourteen representatives
The Nationals have two senators and
three representatives.
From East Tennessee the senators
are divided politically as in the present
legislature, four Democrats and three
republicans. The Republicans gain a
representative in Hamilton county and
lose one in Greene, one in Blount, one
in McMinn and one in Hamblen and
Granger:

The WorId,s CITY Editor.

Ex-Mayor A. Oakley Hall has re-
turned to the active dutises of jour
ualism. The reporters attached to the
New York World were much sur
prised on arriving at the office Mon
day morning to find the city editors
chair filed by Mr.. Hall. They thought
it must have been another of his jokes.
But it wasn't. He was actually at
work, making up" the assignment
book, hunting for sensations" and
issuing his instructions to the repor-
ters. The event got buzzed about
among the literateurs Of the city, the
bar and the newspaper men, and the
new departure was the topic Of anus

THE resignation of Col. Z, A. Cole
as clerk and master of the Chancery
Court, caused by i'll health, we are in
formed, was a surprise to most Of his
many friends. He has filed the Office
some seven years, and its duties have
been discharged blythe incumbent and
his able corps of deputies in a manner
highly satisfactory to all concerned in
the affairs Of this Office. He r~etires
from the position as he went into it,
with the fullest confidence and esteem
of all who know him. OF late years
he has not enjoyed good health, and
the pay of the Office has steadily de-
creased. These are supposed to be
the reasons for his resignation. Where
ever he may go or whatever betides.
the true friendship Of thu se who know
him best will but grow stronger and
brighter until in the distant years ia
come tshall be treasured as a precious
memory of brave, noble nature.

The list of the members elect to the
next general assembly Of Tennessee,
which appears in the LEDGER to-day,
is taken from the Knoxville Tribune,
and we presume is correct throughout.
The Tribune says: "The principal
changes in East Tennessee it will be
noticed are in favor of the Democrats.
The Democrats are in such a majority
that party questions will not be con
sidered, and we hope to have a non
partisan, statesman-like settlement O
the questions that may come before
that body"

is Steve Grifey, aged about twenty,
and his crime an outrage on a little

and his sentence was affirmed by the
Supreme Court at Knoxville. Those

to prove that he has been subject to

THE HOUSE OF LORNE.
The Inverary Castle Now FOrsaken by
Canada's New Governor
General.

Formerly the family which is now
seated amid its semi-regal domains in
Argyllshire, a correspondent in Scot
land says, lived at Castle Campbell,
near the village of Dollar, in Fifeshire,
and later they were at Ardchonnel
Castle, on Loeb Awe. The first foot
hold of the Campbells on the banks of
the Array is said to have been obtained
bya stratagem which bears asuspicious
resemblance to a well-known classical
legend. The story goes that, in the
time of the first Stewart King, one of
the most powerful chiefs, Colin Tonga
itch, the thirteenth knight of Lochow,
who had obtained from the crown con-
siderable holdings on the east of Loeb
Fyne, but had as yet got none on the
western shore, bargained with the
chiefs Of the Mac Wears, to whom the
lands in that quarter belonged, for as
much space as might be measured
with a foal's skin, to erect a residence
for himself on the banks of Loeb
Fyne, and that, having cut the skin
into a single thong, the Black Knight
and his followers measured off and
took possession of a goodly extent of
ground.
The old castle of Colin the Singular
was much more picturesque han the
present sham Gothic edifce, erected
by Archibald, the third Duke, in
1744, close to its site. The In~verary
Castle of to-day consists of a massive
battlemented square building, having
round towers at each corner, in the
center rises a square "keep" higher
than the rest of the building. The
material is a grayish green slate found
in the neighborhood, soft enough to be
scratched with ones finger nail, turn.
