John Thompson, white, was before the
Police Court to-day charged with hiring a
hack and using 1t five hours, and then at
tempting to beat the hackman out of the
fare. The accused stated that he had lost
his pOcketbook, and then proceeded to ar
que his own case, claiming that the hack
man hadn't produced his license to show he
had right to make the charge. The
Court thought the charge had not been fully
made out. and dismissed it.

weigh Your Newrpaper.

The City P0st-Ofiice has placed q placard
alongside of the window where sccOnd-class
matter is mailed bearing the warming
"Weigh your matter before mailing It,
All second-class matter, unless prepaid in
full, will not be forwarded
1t is highly important that our general
public should understand this fact. THE
CRITIC was, through the courtesy of Mr.
Bell, shown to-day the amount of news
papers, periodicals, magazines, &C., which
daily accumulate in the Office and are held
for postage under law. Many magazines
and novels, the prices of which vary from
twenty-five cents to ST. are thus sacrificed
because of the lack of one cent in postage
While letters unpaid for in full will be
transmitted, second-cass matter will not
and thousands of periodicals are weekly
lost to those who send them and to those
for whom they are designed, as the Post
Office authorities sell them for old paper as
soon as the accumulation grows too great.
All of those that are mailed by parties
known to the office are returned to them by
the carriers, and the Office is very courteous
in daily looking over the number of UMPIRE
paid papers for those who call and inquire,
giving the names of the parties to whom
they were addressed.
The only means by which certainty of
delivery and transmittal of second-class
matter can be insured is, as the Department
admOnishes the public, to have it weighed
before sending and to stamp it with an ade-
quate amount of stamps.
More About the Asphalt Contracts
This afternoon the Commissioners re-
ceiyed the following letter from Mr..
Fletcher:
Hon. Commissioners d. c.:
GENTLEMEN: 1 notice In the morning
papers that Mr.. W. g. Murdoch called on
you yesterday ana made u statement as at
torney Tor Bailey 4 Fletcher, to which do
not agree. want to state that l made an
answer to your communication of the 18th
instant on the 26th, with the full consent
also state further that W. G. Murdoch is no
attorney for me- Yours, with great respect
WIN. FLETCHER, JR.
The present state of affairs is very en-
barrassing, not only for the numerous con-
tractors who are connected with the matter,
but also for the Commissioners, who have
the question to decide. Their desire to have
the work continued rs rapidly as possible
prevents their acccding to the request of
Bailey e Fletcher for several months
delay, while at the same time 1t is their
desire to treat that firm with fairness, and
the only alternative is to take the higher
bid of the combination, and encourage the
asphalt monopoly, which the Commissioners
are opposed to doing. 1t is hoped that some
means may be found by which the work
can be completed this fall, but at price less
than that fixed by the combination. This
price, although less than the price of
granite-block pavements, is still higher
than is necessary to give fair profit on the
work.

Prevails among some people that large

There were but . lew Of the relatives and more
intimate friends of the family present, and an
hsur after tho ceremony the couple started fer
their future home, at Rich Hill. DR.. Allen
made . very favorable Impression upon all
whom he met in his short visit to our city. The
bride 10 . lovely young lady whom We can
proudly recommend to the consideration of So
ciety wherever her lot may be cast. They take
with them the respect and good wishes of all
who know them. After the ceremony the COM
pany partook of refreshments. which were
worthy Of the occasion, and which were dis
cussed and enjoyed by all. There was a hand
some display of bridal presents among which We
noted the following: Dozen towels, Mrs. H. j.
Ahrens; doGe n napkins. Mr.. Id. Ahrsns; pair
Of slippers, 81. Miss Florence Price; dozen tea
spoons andtwo berry spoons. Mr.. JIM. Kenny,
of Cincinnati, o. ;lace collar and handkerchief,

hat, Mrs. VIM. Morrison; dinner caster, Mr..
VIM. Morrison; travelling satchei. Miss Gussie
Keller; toilet stand, MIR. John Morrison toilet
set, Mr.. VIM. J. Morrison. A notable feature
of the occasion was. that the bride wa dressed
in . very elegant embroidered satin dress, being
the same in which her grandmother was mar
ried, about fifty years ago, and which has been
similarly used by other brides. We venture thu,
none Of them looked moro lovely than did Miss
Fletcher.

There 10 . great deal of just complaint
made by citizens Of the western part Of the
county reg arding the wretched condition OF
the county road from Wellington to thl,
city. The blame ia, not all, or, indeed. to
sny considerable degree, attacAable to the
road overseers. The railroad track crosse,
the road several times, aud beside these
crossings there are twelve or fifteen switch.
es. The road is naturally a difficult one to
keep in order, and there lmpedlmenta rem.
der 1t very much worse. In addition to this
1t runs near the railroad all the way, IN some
places the wagon road being very cont racl.
ed, and between bluff or river, so as to rem.
der 1t extremely dangerous. Not only this,
but the numerous coal chutes are constantly
at work and the noise of ihe descending coal
frlghtsns horses about as badly as the cars.
Altogether the people who come to Lexlnp-
ton over the road much resemble in their
feelings people who start out in a war-they
know that they are going In, but they have
no sort OF assurance that they Will ever g.t
out. Ladies, who often used to drive them
selves 10 town, have entirely given over the
risk, and ii has come to be thought trouble
soma and dangerous to start to LII lexington,
The county court appreciates the situation,
we think, and II 1t had to be done over
again would not permit the railroad to
monopolize the county road. But all that is
now past, aud we must make the best of the
situation as IL Is. AS taxes are now levied
Lexington pays much more than her share
for road working. 1t has msde no COMPLAINT
10 far, but it is entitled, in conse quence, to a
good road to accommodate the very best
trade that the numerous railroad cut.offs
have left 1t. T'he merchants OF the CITY
should act In the matter, and second the
enorts OF The people who desire to come
mere 10 trade, but who are deferred by an
almost impossible and very dangerous road.
Wnat IS needed is q good road from the Sui
Dfioge due east to the old fair grounds road.

Gauge track.
