swERS. D.-c7..,-,,'.S',,
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 21.-For SOW
eral weeks the colored men of this city,
who for long time have had no repre-
sentation in juries, have bean meeting
In various wards Of the city. The result
is that memorials have been drawn mp
a presented tojudges Of various courts
here. Judge Fl. J. Stiles. Of the Com
mon Pleas Court, to-day returned An an
swer to the petitioner. .s.l li,st n
He asserted that the courts of the
State were bound by Legislative enact
ments, and had no more right or power
to alter them than jurors would have To-
change the law regulating the election of
jurors. He said, further, that the remedy
was by petition to the Legislature, which
alone could redress grievances. This 10
the same ground as that taken by Judge
Jackson, in the Circuit Court in answer
to petition few weeks ago. The CON-
stitution of Kentucky still contains .
color line, which the more intelligent
o. the race here are earnestly endeavor-
ing to have wiped out. US ls

The Little WOrthiugtOn.

The Water Department employees
were in ecstases, this morning, over the
performance of The little Worthington
pump, which was recently removed from
Tenth and Market streets to the Cool
Spring reservoir pump house. AT 1880
o'clock Saturday nigl t, the water in the
north basin was Al feet below the bridge
wall, but the little pump thumped away
ince sanity, and not only kept up thecon-
sumption, but filled both basins up to a
point "a inches above the bridge wall.
This pump has guaranteed capacity OF
800 900 gallons in twenty-four hours but
can easily exceed these figures.

Weston Wins the Ret.
THE AMERICAN PEDESTRIAN MAKES THE
BEST TIME ON RECORD.


BEST TINE ON RECORD.
LONDON, June 81, 1879.
No such excitement as that existing
in this city Tonight has ever been caused
here by pedestrian contest. Weston
has Just comp leted $50 miles in 142 hours,
beating the best record by seven and
three-s xteenth miles, won the Ashley
long distance champion belt and bet of
$500 with Sir John Ashley. The pc
deslrian and his wonderful achievement
are the allabsorbine topics of couverta-
tion and he is the hero of tue hour. The
performance is considered the more mar
velous that the English pubic had be-
gun to lose faith IN Weston.
RowELL WILL CHALLENGE WESTON
Rowell has already deposited .f100
forfeit in the Office of the Sportsman and
will immediately challenge Weston
Panchot, the Buffalo pedestrian and
winner of the last great contest in New
York, has been here watching the walk
and has also signtied his intention oi
challenging the winner. BY making 65t
miles Weston wins his bet with Sir John
Ashley, which was that he would make
$50 miles and not BOO, rs previously
stated.
UNGENERoUs ALBION.
The profits of the whole affair will moi
exceed So ,000-in sorry contrast to tue
amount whi ch the New Workers show
cred into the lap Of Rowell. Weston
has two-thiris of this (or $4,000 beside'
his ,talSes. 1t would appear that tn,
bvasted enthusiasm in England regard
iLg manly spoits is something of a tic
non. Weston probably starts for New
York at an early day. Brown is ar

SANTA CLAUS ARRIVED.


HeadqnartoEs at Cullen 81 Newman's.
There is no mistake about this,
reader, as you can see for yourself if
yOu will hut take The troubm to 60 and
examine their stock Of goods, which
is simply Immense, and exceeds any,
thing ever witnessed in Knoxville be-
fore in The toy line. The merry hOli-
day season is approtthing rapidly, and
parentsare beginning 10 look around
as to the best place TO leave orders for
Santa Claus. Now, they might avoid
a great deal Of trouble by just going to
bis headquarters AID see old Santa in
person. But trifing aside, Messrs.
Cullen & Newman have this year the
argest and haudsomest stock
of holiday goods they have
ever carried, aud for that matter,
has ever been carried by any house
in that line, and they are selling just
as cheap as their goods can possibly be
sold. They seem to have enough of
toys to supply all the children in the
State, and then have some left. Call
and examine their stock and be con-
WINGED.
Merchants will find their ADVERTISE
ment of interest, and will do well to
order their supply of toys at once.
Prices are low, aud bargains can be
had, - .@t
