At about IL o'clock last night one
of those mysterious shooting scrapes,
without apparent cause or motive,
occurred at the Atlantic Beer Hall on
Main street. George Hunter, lopu-
larry known as "Biy George" entered
the Atlantic Hall and advanced to-
ward Mo.lie links, a waiter girl, and
threw Iii. arms about her. She re-
sisted his embraces and broke away
from him. Immediately after, and
without any words or warning what.
ever, Hunter drew Ills revolver and
fired three shots, in rapid succession.
apparently ut the girl. Mr.. Schultz,
proprietor Of the beer hall, called to
Hunter to put up that gum" AMI
immediately liter fired shot at Hun
ter, who returned the fire, directing
his aim In tile direction Of the lar,
where Mr.. Schultz and his barkeeper
stood. The hall passed very close to
the head Of the tarkecper, but lucki-
~, hit neither him nor any
one ofthc crowd in the room. Another
s:,o: quickly followed, but its aim
was evidently purposcless, As the hall
struck In an entirely different direc-
ton in the rear Of the room. All in
quirie: proved entirely fru;tless, as
to any possible motive Hunter could
have had for doing bodily injury to
the girl. He has for some time been
employed as porter in King & Low
rye saloon, and his employer speaks
in the highest terms Of him AS a
steady and extremely even-tcmpered

spree during the past few days and
the most plausible solution
Of lis strange conduct ID that
lie was crazed with d. ink and did
not know what he was doing. 1t was
reported that MOllie Jinks AMI an-
other waiter girl named Maggie were
wounded, but our reporter was not
able to learn that any person was
more seriously injured than q slight
powder burn sustained by Mollie
links After doing the shooting
Hunter ran out the lack door, into
the alley, where he was intercepted
and arrested by a policeman.

HOUKs RECORD IN DETAIL.

We understand that some of Judge
Houk's friends persist in denying the
truth of the charges we have made
against him touching his absenteeism
during the last session of the Forty>
sixth Congress, though his organs
do not pretend to deny them. We
have concluded to make them more
explicit, giving dates, SO that if we
have misrepresented the Judge in
any particular, his friends will have
an opportunity to point out in what
respect and set us right. We have
no intention of disappearing the
Judge. We have obtained the facts
stated directly from the printed vol
umes of the Congressional Record,
and challenge contradiction:
Congress met December 9th, 1880. The
first business was calling the roll and Judge
Houk is recorded as present.
The next day vote was taken on propo-
sition relative to counting the electoral vote
and he was present and voted.
On Friday, April 10th, he is recorded as
voting AYE" on proposition to adjourn
over until Monday.
On the following Tuesday, December IA,
the electoral count question was taken up
when the roll was called and the name of
Houk appears among those fail
ing to answer The same day on
a motion to go into committee
of the whole on the funding bill, he is re-
corded as mot voting" and is paired with
Mr. Young. The same day, on resolution
to elect postmaster of the House, he is
again recorded as mot voting"
The roll was not called again until De-
ton bill, when he is recorded mot voting"
paired with Casey Young.
The next day, ON the question of a hol-
day recess, he is recorded not voting, and is
again paired with Casey Young. The same
day the roll was called twice on the pension
appropriation bill Certainly MIR. Houk,
who processes such great friend
ship for the pensions was present to vote on
that. But h is recorded in the list of those
mot voting" and is not even paired.
The next day vote was taken on the
question of taking up private bills and he
appears 'tnot voting"-paired with Casey
Young.
December 18th he is recorded as mot yo
ting" on the military academy and eonsu
lar appropriation bills, once on eaeh-pair-
Ell with Casey Young.
December goth he is recorded not voting
on question concerning lands in the In
dian Territory-paired with Ca
sey Young. He is recorded the sam'
way twice again the same day, once on tn
consular and diplomatic appropriations bill
and once On a bill to repeal the law requir
ing stamps on bank checks.
December 21st, ON the electoral coun
question, he is mot voting"-paired wit
Casey Young.
December 22nd, on question touching
the rules of the House, he is recorded a
mot voting"-paired with Casey Young.
Congress then adjourned until January 8
for the Christmas holidays, and the roll-can
of the House showed that he wa
in his seat no time during the entire mont
of January, 1881. Those of our reader
who were at Nashville during that mont

Nashville Letter.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May II.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May IL.
Mr. EDITOR: The Legislative mill
grindes slowly. At last the joint
committee of conference with our
creditors has presented report and
a bill for settlement. The bill pass
ed the Senate on it's second reading
to-day, and will come up on its third
reading tomorrow in that body.
Then will come the tug of war on the
new proposition, 1t is thought the
bill will surely pass but by close
vote. In the lower House there is
some room for margin. 1t
will receive all the support from
those who voted for the 1908 bill
and some who did not. Such is not
the case in the Serate.
The low-tax Democrats have
shown a great anxiety to investigate
the only Democratic State officer
the one-legged Treasurer. Thus far,
it has absolutely amounted to noth-
ing. A committee has been raised to
inquire into the proposition made to
Governor Marks, under which an
election was held to ascertain wheths
er the State debt should be settled at
fifty cents on the dollar and four per
cent. interest. The conference com
mittee were satisfied, from their in
quiries with the creditors
committee in New York, that
such proposition had never
been made by them. Now, the ques-
ton is, who made the proposition ?
The Joint committee is examining
and their report is anxiously looked
for. There must have been some>
thing of the kind, or Governor
Marks could not have issued his
proclamation. Was he imposed
upon? How did it come about and
from whom? These questions will
be answered by the committee, and
we hope all may be satisfactorily
shown; but there is some mystery
about the 50-4 affair from some
source.
The course of some of our Demo
cratic friends ON the subject of
a settlement is hard to compre.
bend. They do not discuss
the question whether the proposition
is good one, whether it is to the
interest of the State to settle the
debt, or whether it ought to be set
tied for the public good. The only
question with them is what effect it
will have on the Democratic party.
Some openly oppose any settlement
by this Legislature, because they say
that it will defeat the party in the
next election. They propose to let
the credit of the State go to ruin,
the affairs of the State to be wrecked,
all the mischief that can may come
upon us, only if the Democratic
party can carry the elections. There
is no patriotism in anything of the
kind, and such party cannot succeed
for any great length of time. W.

is no doubt as to who purchased
the bonds, that they were pur-
chased for permanent investment,
and where we have received back, by
way of donations, almost as much as
the original bonds, it is disgraceful
to the last degree for Tennessee to
scale them. It is an act for which
there cannot be the slightest de-
Tense 1t is wrong; it is humiliating;
it is superlatiyely disgracefull
THE little hired man who edits
Judge Houk's Knoxville organ, raves
like a mad>man in his paper this
week. He deals in epistles and be-
trays his anger in the most crafty
ing manner. We expect his abuse
and even desire tit is more CONS
plimentary than his praise. But the
people care very little about this.
What they want is an explanation of
the ugly fact that Houk was absent
from his seat more than five
sixths of the time during
an entire session of Congress. They
want to know why he was absent
and failed to vote one hundred and
twelve times out of one hundred and
twenty-seven They want to know
the cause of his absence. They
want to know where he was and
what he was doing. If his little
hired man can answer these things
satisfactorily he will be doing him a
seryice HIS stale wit and coarse
epithets against the editor of the
CHRONICLE will do him no good, and
the fact that he deals in them only
proves that our charges are unan-
swerable, as they are.

OH, SHAME !,
tIOn.

4 letter was read in the Tennessee
House of Representatives last Fri
day, the statements in which must
cause every honest Tennesseean to
hang his head and blush for very
shame 1t was from Mr.. Pratt,
treasurer of the Peabody fund, Bali
timore. The trustees of that fund
hold $364,e00 in Tennessee bonds,
with interest due since 1875. The
bonds were bought by Mr.. Peabody
before the war, and such was his con-
fdence in the honesty and in
tegrity of the State, that he
specially advised the trustees of
the large fund donated by him for
educational purposes, to hold these
bonds as a permanent investment.
Since the war Tennessee has re-
ceived donations from the fund, to
aid in the education of our children,
amounting to S247, $50. Mr.. Pratt
thinks that whatever bill is passed,
an exception should be made
in favor of the Peabody educa-
tional fund, as is done with
educational funds in Tennessee, but
says the trustees viii receive any
sum the Legislature chooses to
pay.
Were we member of the Legislas
ture, we would lose no time in offer
ing an amendment to the bill now
pending, excepting these bonds and
providing for their payment. 1t is
bad enough to scale any part of the
debt forty per cent, but when it
comes to fund like this, where there
