A Society for the Prevention of
Crime has been organized at New
Haven, Conn, the object of which,
as set forth by President Porter, of
Yale College, is to put step to the
violations of the liquor law and to
check other evils. "We hope" he
says, "to cleanse our streets of the
wantonness which now so unblush-
ingly shows itself at certain hours
and in certain localities. We hope
to suppress now and then some of
the many gambling houses which
lie like snares about our beautiful
city, ready to catch the young and
inexperienced and to hasten the
downward progress of the more
hardened criminal. We hope to
suppress places of amusement where
indecent shows are held that edu-
cate both young and old in iniquity
and sin. Some other cities need
like societies.

The Battle Weakening. o
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The
great debate so nearly petered cut
to-day as to cause suspension of
interest. Only mediocre men occu-
pied the floor, and had few listeners.
The debate was dull, dry and spirit
less-in fact, nothing but rehash
of what has already been said. The
general impression is that the de-
bate will now decline in interest un-
til transferred to the Senate, when
Messrs. Blaine Conkling, Edmunds
and Thurman will make the occa-
sion illustrious with their eloquence.

CARRYING PISTOLS.
A Georgia Judges Way cf Enforcing
the Law.

Georgia has a stringent pistol
law. The penalty is forfeiture OF
the pistol, a fine of fifty dollars,
and, at the discretion of the court,
Imprisonment for thirty days. A
short time after this Law went into
effect, Judge Lester was holding
court in one of the mountain coun-
ties of North Georgia, and, right in
the midst of the trial of cause, he
asked the attorneys to supend few
moments, and told the Sheriff to
lock the courthouse door and let no
man pass out without permission
from him. Then said the Judge in
his firm, decided way: "Gentlemen,
l saw a pistol on a man in this
room a few moments ago, and l can
not reconcile it to my sense of duty
as a peace officer to let such viola
ton of the law pass unnoticed. 1t
may be that it is my duty to go be-
tore the grand jury and indict him,
but if that man will walk up to this
stand and lay his pistol and fine
of one dollar down here, | will let
him off this time, otherwise l will
60 before the grand jury and testify
against him
The Judge paused, and an attor-
ney, who was sitting down just be-
fore the stand, got up, slipped his
hand in his hip~pocket, drew out a
neat ivory-handled Smith & Wesson
six shooter, and laid it and a dollar
down before the Judge.
"This is all right" remarked
the Judge, "but you are not the
man that L saw with the pistol"
At this another attorney, sitting
Immediately in front of the Judge, |
got up, and, drawing out small !
Colts revolver, laid it and dollar |
bill upon the stand.
"That is right, again." said the |
Judge, "but you are not the man

Thereupon, large man, just out
side of the bar, walked around, ran
his hand in his bosom, and, drawing
out huge old army pistol, laid it
and dollar ON the stand.
declare, exclaimed the Judge,
" if this don't beat all; you have
done right, my friend, but you are
not the man l saw with the pistol"
This process went on until mines
teen pistols and nineteen dollars
were lying on the Judges stand. /
There was a pause and it appeal ed |
as if the crowd was pretty well dis
armed at least, if there were any
more pistols in the house their own
ers did not seem disposed to give
them up.
Gentlemen" resumed the Judge,
'Ahere are nineteen persons who
have acted like men in this business,
but the man | saw with the pistol
has not come up yet, and now,"
continued he, pulling out his watch
and looking toward the far side of
he courthouse, 81 will give him
one minute to accept my proposition,
md if he does not do it in that time, !
will point him out to the sheriff
md order him to take him into GUS
ody."
Immediately two men from the
back part of the house began to
love towards the Judges stand.
Once they stopped and looked at
each other, and then, coming slowly
forward, laid down their pistols and
their dollars. As they turned to
eaVe, the Judge said: E'This man 1

KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE FOR 1879
SubSCrib Tor Good, Reliable News
paper.


The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation Of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the Outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
,recints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
lose attention, and be made entire
y correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter-
sted in the publication Of our in
fearless, reliable Repub
lean journal to come to our aid and
.ssist in extending the circulation

In view of the financial pressure

Then Judge Lester gave a short
lecture upon the cowardly, foolish
and wicked habit of carrying con-
cealed weapons, and assured his au-
dience that in the future the law
would be strictly enforced. The
Court proceeded with its regular
business, and it is needless to add
that in that county the habit of car
rying pistols was broken up.

nation, and especially New England,

When in full dress, Brother Jona-

as he is now represented in what is
generally supposed to carricature.
He was of a tall, gaunt form and
wore a swalloW>tail, home-spun coat,

wool raised on his own farm, and
colored with maple bark procured
from his own wood pile, the dye
being set with iron filings obtained

short of his ankles, were made of

Explosion.

SAN Francisco, November Is. An ex-
plosion occurred in tunnel Number Three,
on the narrow guage railroad from San Jose
to Santa Cruise, early this morning. From
the meagre accounts thus far received it ap-
pears that a blast was let off about POO feet
from the mouth Of the tunnel which caused
the explosion of gases generated by the fl
tering of coal oil through the roof and sides.
Twenty-one Cinnamon were at work in the
tunnel at the time. Immediately about 20
more Cinnamon rushed into the tunnel with
torches to aid their comrades. When they
had penetrated about 1900 feet the torches
caused second explosion more violent than
the first, shaking the mountain to its centre.
Two white men were brought out terribly
burned, and about ten Cinnamon, all serious
ly injured. As near as can be learned some
30 Cinnamon are killed. The second ex-
plosion wrecked the engines and works.
Physicians were dispatched to the scence
from San Jose, and everything possible is be-
ing done for the sufferers.
Later.-lt now appears there were three
explosions. Seventeen Cinnamon have been
taken out, horribly burned. Twenty -four
dead remain in the tunnel. There is a terrible
scene of suffering in camp, and ruin all
around the mouth of the tunnel. The gas
prevents any attempts to recover the bodies
at present. The work will be delayed two
months. The scene of the disaster is almost
on the top of Santa Cruise mountain, where
coal oil abounds. Explosions and fires have
been frequent before and cost several lives.

| New ORLEANS, November 49, Peter vii
liams testified regarding the election in tn,
seventh ward of this city in &c Moore
who was declared elected to the Legislature
from ward seven, told the witness that the
clerk in the Packard Legislature would an
swer for members when the roll was called.
Moore gave the witness to understand that
he could tell tale about Kellogg that would
be useful to the democrats, out of which they
could make pile of money. They agreed
to do this, but Moore, getting place in the
chance in the Custom House, would now tes-
tify to the contrary. Blanchard, now dead,
gave Moore 800 blank registration papers to
use in the seventh ward. Moore said the
| ward went democratic, but was counted for
| the republicans. After election the registra-
| ton books were taken to the Custom House
and names erased
ID. II. Moner, United States Supervisor in
the seventh ward during the election in &c,
testified: The election was very fair. No
trouble occurred There was no protest en-
tered, yet poll 3 was thrown out by the re-
turning board. Nearly 500 votes were cast
at this poll, with about 10 majority for the
democrats. Witness said the returns had all
been made according to law.
Bernard Williams testified: Was hired by
Lewis, naval officer at New Orleans, to go to
Washington in the interest of Kellogg. KEEL
logg sent him with others to the depot where
he got Spofford witnesses. brought them at
midnight I. to Kellogg, who, by arousing their
fears as to what their treatment would be in
Louisiana if he (Kellogg) was turned out of
the Senate, and by promising each $500 and
lucrative position in the Custom House,
prevailed upon them to go back on their New
Orleans affidavit and testify as he (Kellogg)
desired. Before they left the room Kellogg
paid each the $500
Cross examination elected the fact that the
witness has been arrested several times for
misdemeanOr. He had been hiding away
from the committee because Morris Marks
told him he would not get Ia years pension,
due him, if he testified before the committee.
Some time ago he applied for place in
the Custom House, and would not have tes-
tilted had he got the place. He promised
Kellogg last night he would not testify, but
the sergeant-at-arms caught him after he had
been hiding all day. Kellogg will bring wit
nesses to dsprove this statement, and if not
effectually rebutted by this mode he will ask
the Senate for full investigation.
