Thomas A. Hornsey, a gunsmith, while
handling four-barrel pistol, thirty-two
caliber, discharged it accidentally. His
son Fred, sXteen-y year-old youth, passirg
at the time, received the ball, which en-
tered just below the stomach and lodged in
the left side above the hip. 1t is feared the
wound is fatal.
Lexington's great day has come and gone.
A more suitable time could not have been
selected. No rain, no snow, neither too hot
nor too cold. A rain had fallen recently,
settling the dust, and yet the streets were
entirely free from mud. An immense
crowd thronged the streets from 9 A m.
until late at night. No less than 10000
people were present at II o'clock. The old
town was decorated until she did not look
ike herself. Cannon firing startled our
people at midnight, and again saluted their
ears at sunrise. The procession was all that
'ould have been expected, being more than
mile in length, containing the City and
many of the State officers with distin-
:uished visitors. The artillery and
ire department were finely rep

Alter marching through the streets accord

lelivered by distinguished historians and |
I'D settlers: At night, splendid music by
Wolf and FrOst's band. grand display of |

grand illumination of the city closed the
Gene. Strange to say, Wednesday was the
'nly day last week suitable for such cele-
ration, and stranger still, that no serious
ccident occurred among all that vast
rowd of people. No fights, no arrests,
hat we have heard of, and to our recol.
ection not drunken man was to be seen

We are now thoroughly convinced that
he spirit OF enterprise is not entirely dead
n Lexington. Our celebration OH Wednes-
ay last IS sufficient evidence of the fact,
nd now while the minds of the moneyed
eople of our city are exercised, let us talk
I water-works and manufactures of vari-
us kinds. We are centrally located, and
the garden spot of the world; plenty of
mber, coal and ore in our own State, and
ren near us, to make this the most thrifty
nd wealthy city in the country.
On the night before the celebration the ,
'nited States Marshal, from Louisville, ap-
cared in our city with a summons for
)mc OF our good citizens to serve Judge
allard. They consequently missed the
