TIessrs. TURNKEY a. GiII-EiVery
and Sale Stable.

my CT
and Sale Stable.
We are informed that the above
named gentlemen have purchased
of Messrs. c.. S. Daniel & Co. the
Eclipse stable, situated at the cor
ner of strawberry and Second streets.
The cO-partnership consists of w.
H. Turnkey, of this city, and James
Gill, formerly of Cadiz, Ky. This
will be an excellent firm for the
livery and sale business. Messrs.
Turnkey and Gill are both lovers of
''hOrse flesh," and have had much
experience in rearing, training and
dealing in fine horses. They are
both popular and reliable gentle
men, and extensively known
throughout the surrounding country
and in Kentucky. They start on a
firm basis, and may be expected TO
infuse new life and enterprise into
the livery business in this city. Mr..
Gill is a son of Mr.. Joe Gill, of AL
l~ensville, KY, and, we understand,
is not entirely unknown to our citi-
zens, having lived here once for a
short time. We commend him TO
our citizens. Mr.. Gill will super
intend the business of the stable
while Mr.. Turnkey will continue
his connection with the Elephant
warehouse, where he may be found
during the tobacco season. They
intend to largely increase the stock
and make every effort to accommo-
date the public. They will do a
general sale and livery business. 1t
is rumored that Mr.. G. S. Daniel
contemplates moving to some West
ern city. While we regret this, we
wish him much success in what
ever business he may enter.

The street committee of the board
of mayor and aldermen are having
some excellent work done on our
streets in the way of regarding,
matchmaking and repairing sew
ers, etc. We are glad to see they
are having Madison street regarded,
beginning about in front of Hon.
Jno. f. Houses lot and making a
slight grade thence towards the east
end of the street as far as Mr..
Wenzler's lot, thus cutting down
and leveling the ridges SO as to
drain the water in that direction
and prevent it from forming pools
in the street. This is a good and
necessary improvement, and one
which has long been needed.
This work is being done by Mr..
Pat Sullivan, who is a reliable
and competent workman, and the
work will be we'll done. They are
are also having a sewer dug run
ming down the center of Franklin
street from Second to First Cross
street, in order to more thoroughly
and effectively drain that thorough
fare. Mr.. Conroy has this job in
hand, and it viii be done in a
thorough manner.
The street cleansing brigade hive
been at work this week with hoe
and shovel, and our streets present

There is some good material in this neigh
borhood and school, which, when fully de-
veloped and utilized, viii make it a still
more efficient power for good in this section
of the country.

were invited to partake of a most ex-
cellent and refreshing dinner Mr.

the art of teaching. Prof. viii A. Cate, OF
Maryville College, is assisting Mr.. jackson.
Professor Cate is one of our foremost edu-
Gators, and whatever he puts his hand to i'll
that line has to move.
Mr.. w. d. Mckinley continues in very
feeble health. He has lost most of his teeth,
which were large and fine; the bone from

The following resolutions were adopted

omitted from our report
Resolved, That we tender our thanks to
the gentlemen composing the board of edu-
cation for the city schools for the use of the
Austin school building and other favors
shown the teachers during the recent ses-
sion of our Normal Institute. And we also
tender our thanks to both the State and

they take in our common schools, and espe-
cially for the aid and encouragement they
have given our worthy principal in raising
the standard of the teachers in East Tennes=

The Suicide of Mr.. Haun.

From Henry Haynes, ESD, we learn that
our statement in reference to the father and
mother of the late Robert F. Harn not find
ing the vial or strychnine in his pockets
until after the burial of his remains. was in
accurate. 1t was found the same evening
that his remains reached the residence of
his parents. 1t is proper to say that the
facts as written up by our reporter, were
not derived from Squire Haynes directly.
We desire to say in this connection that we
knew the deceased from his early child
hood. He was a young man of much
above the average in mental capacity, and
sustained a moral character above reproach.
His unfortunate act was undoubtedly the re-
suit of temporary mental alteration. His
afflicted parents have our most cordial and
sincerest sympathies in this their great
bereavement

turned over to the donors with thanks, and
in each case the expenditure has proved tc
be good investment.
1t was great disappointed to the
faculty that Governor Hawkins and DR.
Curry did not give their promised lectures
Governor Hawkins was twice prevented by
death in his family. DIR, Curry was expect

Our Marble,

Mr.. EDITOR Our East Tennessee mar
Dies have, very justly, attained national
reputation. The have been. or are now be-
ing transported to every State east of the
Mississippi River. They are of very grea,
variety, and as our miners delve down deepe,
into their quarries the grain becomes finer
aud the colors more distinct and beautiful
heretofore our variegated marble with the
white and red colors, has been generally pre-
terred we suppose, because it was the frs
to be introduced. But we have a whitisl
marble, with pink blush and chocolate
ground with slate-colored streaks that are
exceedingly beautiful, and the demand fol
them, we understand, is rapidly in.
creasing. What we most need now
is several more marble mills
at this point or scattered along our line OF
raliroads TO saw the marble into slabs This
would save at least one fourth the cost of
transportation. 1t would also save i'm
mensely to have the marble polished here
or IN East tennessee before it is sent for
ward. The saving, or the saving and
polishing would also avoid many difficulties
! Our marble men frequently complain that
after they have measured their blocks OF
marble and given liberal measure the pur
chaser or consignee reports a very consider
able dqmlnltlon when they arrive at their
place of destination. This occurs SC
often that it would look like the
measuring tapes of our State
are not divided by the same
| sized feet and inches as thoes
to which our marbles are sent Or it may
be that there is something in the climate Of
the latter that causes a wonderful shrinkage
OF the marble, a phenomenon that We never
, heard of before. For our marble is very
fine grained and compact, so much so that
some OF II Is lmpervloris to and cannot be-
stained by the most searching of oils
Another complaint is that the buyers OF
consignees often complain that there are
many flaws in blocks of marble when ths
outside appearance would indicate grea
oompactness and soundness throughout tn.
whole block. We see no remedy for these
difficulties but to saw up the marble here
and then the measurement will be easily ant
accurately made and any imperfectionl
readily detected.
! But the sharpest case of practice in mar
bic that We have heard of is that of a con
! signment made to New York. After keep
ing some of the marble eight months tn
+ c0nSlgnee closed out the marble at ninet,
cents per foot, price great deal less THAI
the marble could be taken from the quarry
This price created sensation among mar
! bic men. But what is the strangest featur
of the whole business is that the consigne
having sold the marble without any order
from the consignor to SELL at this sacrifc
ing price, cody sits down and, withou
writing WHY he sold or who TO, writes to tn
owner that his car load of marble ha
brought him in debt and to remit him th
balance found against him,
But our owners Of gnalTies will soon fin
out the fair dealers in marble and then al
things, we hope, will move along smoothly

County Register Beck last week recorded
two mortgages of the E. T., V. d G. r. Il.
to the Central Trust Company, of New York,
the first mortgage for So, 600, 900, and the
second for $40, 500, 900, to liquidate all past
Indebtedness and raise funds to build the
contemplated branches. 1t was the largest
mortgage ever recorded III this country,
having taken thirty nine pages of record,
and the cost being S25-S5.
The second mortgage is what is known as
"income bonds" and no interest is paid or
them, unless the net income of the road is
sufficient to pay it, but IN no case will the
interest exceed 6 per cent. and each yea1
must stand for itself, the interest not being
cumulative.
