Her officers are Capt. .. S. Allison, master :;
Capt. R. NJ Allison, pilot; John Y. Upton,
mate; Taylor Newman, engineer. This is
her first trip to Knoxville.
The Kingston party includes some of the
most prominent citizens, some with their
families, and quite number of the young
ladies and gentlemen of our neighboring
town. The Kingston cornet band also forms
portion of the party. 1t is fine musical
organization, and they furnish some good

The Improved City Prison.

We have referred briefly heretofore to the
improvement of the city prison, or Gala
boose, under the administration of Mayor
Peter Staub and Alderman Alex Allison.
chairman of the fire and police committee.
1t was among the first acts of Mayor Staub
when he came into Office to examine that
institution and set about to make it some
thing more like relic of humanitarianism-
The place has been in wretched
condition, chiefly on account of its close and
crowded apartments and want of ventila-
ton.
After the steamers were taken away from
the city hall the place was gone over thor
oughly, and the west half of the lower story
of the building was converted into two
rooms, the one fronting on Market Square
for female and the other for male prisoners
Both are well ventilated and put in such
| shape that there isn't the slightest offensive
smell or discomfeiture. 1t is intended il
the winter season to erect a heating stove
| to be fired from the present engine-room
and to be so fitted in the wall as to heat bott
rooms, which will contribute to the comfor
of prisoners in the winter season. The ole
room in the southeast corner will also b.
used in cases of emergency.
Mayor Staub is to be commended in thu
looking after the interests of the city ant

Marvellous Men.

Chattanooga Times: Prof Mantog, the
Torrance at James' Hall last night, which
merits the most enthusiastic praise. His
sword performances were absolutely mar
veHous he swallowed every species of
sword yaring in length from "a to 3899
inches; one of his most amazing perform
ances was the swallowing of nine swords at
one time, running each down his throat to
the hilt. He went through various contor-
tons of his body, with 30-inch sword
down his throat to the hilt One
of the audience gave him a walking cane,
which he rammed down his throat fully
twenty inches. 1t would be impossible to
even recount his performances with the
fiery element; he swallowed flaming balls
of cotton, ate flaming sealing-wax, chewed
red-hOt iron, and threw the pieces to his
audience, the marks of his teeth being
from furnace and put it in his mouth,
chewing it as complacently as a school girl
would her wax, the steam issuing from
his mouth in dense volume. His daring
feat on plate heated to white heat with bare
feet electrified the spectators and evoked
! laundering applause. It is our only regret
i that we can but enumerate a few of this
wonders marvellous actions.
Prof. Mantog will exhibit at Staubs OPP
era-Hsuse tomorrow and Saturday nights,
when all will have an opportunity to witness
the wonderful feats.
