1t is the town of Ancona that has
presented this sword to the king. AS
soon as the Anconites heard of the
attempt on the kings life at Naples,
they Immediately set forth sub
scription to show their sympathy for
him, for he had made himself SO be-
loved during his visit to Ancona only
few days previously, that there was
not man there, however black or
red he might be, who would not have
given his life for him. And it was
precisely to allow all classes to Join in
the demonstration that the subscrip.
tion was fixed from five ecentimes (Ital
ian money! to one franc Avery
handsome sum was thus raised by this
centime subscription, and yery
b lndsome sword has been made with
these centimes. The hilt is a master
piece of Italian art, and represents, in
marvelously chiselled work, not only
the arms Of the town of Ancona, but
also tbe arms of Rome (namely, the
wolf feeding Romulus aud Remus),
and military trophies, both ancient
and modern. The mayor of Ancona
and the Deputy for Ancona, Mr., Flea.
presented the sword to the king, who
was really very much pleased with the
gift, as it was the spontaneous Offering
of the poorest Anconite citizen as
well as of the richest.

Porter and r. W. Dunlap, as attorneys
in behalf of Henry county have filed a
bill against the Louisville & Nashville
railroad company to set aside the
transfer Of the oounty's interest in the

Louisville 4 Nashville railroad. The
original stock Of the county was $780,
600, and it was transferred to the

undertaken the prosecution as a pri
vate citizen Of the county, at his own

DEAD IN BED.
"One More Unfortunate.

A very handsome white woman
known as Ella johnson, was found
dead in her bed at the residence of
Kate Edwards, on DesotO street this
morning. An inquest was held upon
the remains by Esq. Spelman, when it
was developed that she had been a
resident here for year or more past
that she came from st. Louis
where she was reared and that
her father is we'll -to-do dairyman at
the corner of Elm and Sixth streets.
Another woman testified that she had
known Ella since she was little eir'.
and that her age was about twenty
three years. On Saturday last she

ferrous, resulting in her arrest. A
forfeit OF $40 secured her release. On
yesterday she went out for a
ride with Texan, who came
here on gray horse and named Rob-
ert Walker. When returning last
evening she complained of having
been spilled or upset on the road, but
said she-wasn t much hurt. She also
bore evidences Of having drank rather
freely. Ella retired to sleep in good
season, and this morning it was dis
covered that she had died some time
during the night, evidently of heart
disease. The remains were inferred
during the day by her friends and as
sociates.

THE remains of the late Captain
G. B. Church, who died early last
August at Blount Springs, Alabama,
will be buried at Elmwood Cemetery
at ten o'clock tomorrow. Owing to
the prevalence of yellow fever here at
that time the remains were taken to
Nashville and placed in vault, to re-
main until it would be safe and con-
yenient for the funeral to take place
here. The friends and acquaint.
ances of the deceased, and espe-
cially those of the Masonic
fraternity, of which he was a
devoted member, are invited tc
to attend. The ceremonies at the
grave will be conducted by the officers
ofDeSoto lodge, Of which he was
member. Captain Church in his long
and successful career illustrated con-
spicuously the value of integrity and
energy combined with an honorable
purpose in life. From an humble be
ginning he worked his way up in the
world to a position of honor and use
fulness. Having acquired a handsome
fortune, he retired from active life
and spent his last years quietly in the
bosom Of his family in happy home
Yet he never failed to take lively
interest in public affairs, and at times
he made his influence felt in local anC
State politics. Though not "a member
Of the church, we believe, he was
regular attendant and a liberal con
tributor. Through his instrumental
ihy and aid mainly one -four churches
wqs founded and built. He was par
ticularly devoted to Masonry, regu
lar attendant at the meetings of hi
lodge and one of the pillars OF the
order. One of his last acts before
leaving here last summer was to make
a donation toward the completion o
the new temple. Idolized by his fami
". esteemed and respected wherever
he was known, which was far anf
wide, his sudden death last summer
soon after he left here in robusr
health and the best spirits was
painful surprise to all. A deserved
tribute to his memory will be paid a
the funeral tomorrow.

The Cincinnati Southern railroad
has been completed, that is, rails have
been laid all the way to Chattanooga,
but the road has not been accepted by
the trustees from Huston & Co., the
contractors, nor has regular traffic
been opened. Much work, top bal
lasting, side tracks, etc., remains to
be done, and it is now learned, how
ever, that by the provisions of the
law granting the last loan the trus-
tees have no power or right to make a
final settlement with Huston & Co.
until they have fully completed their
contract in every particular. Should
they do so, they would be personally
liable for their action. Thus it seems
to have narrowed down to these two
propositions: that the trustees will be
obliged to require from Huston & Co.
a complete fulfillment of their con-
tract in the amount and quality of the
work, no matter how long this may
take, before they will be at liberty to
accept the road or pay for it or run
trains over it, or else there must be a
change in the law, so THAT they will
have the power to accept the work in
its present condition. Under the
present law the trustees cannot accept
the work until it is entirely finished.

tory, there will be one very serious
blot on her record-her dealings with
Ireland. No one could have done so
much for that unhappy country,
whereas, in point of fact, she has real
ly done absolutely nothing. In the
aggregate she has spent probably yabout
ten years of her life in Scotland to
which she has, in thecou of reign
OF forty three years, paid three brief
visits. This neglect has been utterly
without excuse. The simple truth is
chat she and her husband-vho in
this matter was also greatly to blame
had nothing in common with the
Irish character, did not like it, and
took no interest in Ireland or the
Irish. 1t will scarcely be credited
that her benefaction to the Irish Re-
lief Fund is but one days official in.
