True llERoIsM.- August Scig died in
New York on Friday. He was the nj.
n,er ofau exprcssd train, the cab, and ten
der of which took fire on the preceding
Sunday while running at forty miles an hour.
Seig fed to the first passenger coach and at
tempted to put on the air brake. 1t refused
to work and the rushing Of the train was
driving the fire back into the cars. Then he
plunged into the mass of flames. fought his
way through it to his engiue and standing
in the fire used the lever. stopping the train
over bridge. When he did this his clothes
were all afrc, and he was literally roasted,
having barely life enough left to lower
himself into the water tank. His heroism
undoubtedly saved the six loads Of passcn-
gers from the horrible fate of being swept
along behind an unguijed engine with
their train in flames, the fire leaving the
engine unharmcd and rushing backward.

For this reason / am satisfied
that this ordinance is invalid and
of no legal or binding effect.
There are other objections to the
ordinance which in my opinion
render it illegal, but which do not
deem it necessary to mention.
| would recommend that reso-
luton be adopted declaring that
the ordinance in so far as it pur-
ports to be contract with the Wa
ter Works Company is null and
void, and that notice be given to
the Water Works Company that it
will be SO treated by the City.
Respectfully submitted,

then adopted by Council.

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Ours.

the temperance organ OF the state,
condemns its contemporaries for adj
vertising liquor saloons, wholesale
liquor dealers and places where liq-
uor is sold, and then gives those
same establishments space to adj
vertise their business by pretend
ing to copy from other papers. A
few weeks ago it copied Bumgard-
ner's locals from the Enterprise, and
more recently we find the saloon of
Harry Funk, at Huntington, adj
vertised in three or four locals.
This is the latest advertising dodge
we have heard of, and reflects cred
it on our enterprising business
men. who are bound to keep their
business before all classes of people.
Bro. Johnson is a sly old rat, and we
hope he makes it pay Fdyettc En-
te'prase.
A poor shift is better than no
shift at all. We copied from these
exchanges moral extracts in the
way of warnings against intemper-
ance in connection with whisky
advertisements that appeared in
the same papers, to show an editors
inconsistency who would with one
hand lead young man into a sa-
loon, and with the other pretend
to hold him back from the fatal
glass.
Such editorial heterodoxy can
only be accounted for in the pre-
sumtion that the little money re-
ceived Cor the advertisement pro-
pels one hand, while feeble con-
science half nerves the other.
When conscience is stronger than
lucre, both hands will pull the
young man away from ruin and
death.
The advertising do dge," was for
the exclusive benefit of brethren of
the Press whom it may concern,
and we are glad to note its whole
some effect :; and as to the pay, dear
brother, you are entirely welcome
to all we have done.
The county court in session last
week, did a sensible thing in Irefus-
ing to grant license to retail liquor.
Lincoln Clipper.
Right is always sensible, and if
all our county courts had the cour-
age to do right, they would always
do the sensible thing in washing
their hands of all liquor-traffic-
blood, just as did the court of Lin
coin county. We are glad to find
the Clipper right most of the time.
Our criticism of the practice of
some OF our exchanges, of preaching
morality and temperance and COM
mending the liquor-traf1ic in the
same column, we are happy to know
is having the.desired effect, as wit
ness this from the Lincoln Clipper.
The WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN, as
we have before stated, is live pa
per; but it gets awfully mixed
sometimes. 1t devotes almost a
column of last weeks issue to the
Clipper, and after reading the same
its readers are no wiser, nor do they
care for perusing such mixtures of
nonsense.
We thank the Clipper forts olive"
opinion of us, but are obliged to re-
mind our readers that these "mix-
lures of nonsense" condemned by
our brother, were made up Of moral
extracts and whisky advertisements
taken from the same number of the
Clipper.
Our Clipper neighbor further says:
Any one is perfectly justifiable
in advertising anything which hui
mainly needs. At certain times
and on certain occasions, we believe
whisky, judiciously used, is good
medicine. We are only telling
those who need it, where to get
good article.

The cambridge Convention.

NEW MARKET, TENN, August 7, 80.
Mn. EDITOR: The pent-up enthusiasm of
the Republicans of Jefferson to-day found
vent in the mass meeting which assembled
in cambridge to select delegates to the Con-
aressional convention. Good natured and
noisy the people, to the number of at least
I,2oO, previously istened-or tried to listen
to the weak and unsatisfactory defense
that MIR. Houk made to the series of charges
brought against him; and when the convsn-
ton was called to order ii was plainly evil
dent that q majority of the Republicans
present were convinced of the guilt of the
culprit, and were ready to pass judgment
upon him.
As was expected, there was the nusual
number of boisterous boys and other
sympathizers, who shrieked for Houk and
turned red in the face, rs if blushing with
shame. Next, there were q few meek and
aonely men, who, like the dark war-horse
that snuffs the breeze of battle and frets
with delay Or pant under restraint, vocifsr-
ously, if not sincerely, declared that Houk
must be endorsed; then, there was .
sprinkling of good, undecided men, who

The editor of the Republican has
q Congressional Bee in his bonnet.
A communication in his last issue is
significant. But how it is he dares
to allow anything to appear in the

shelyed, is something we can't un-
derstand.

Gratuitous Advice From the writer OF
Solid Facts"
Were not friend to you, Judge Houk,
1 would not trouble myself in giving you SO
much advice. But loving you as a brother,
I snatch time this evening, as one of the
little creatures of earth, to coun you
little more.
Were you, would not get Detective"
to work for me any more, unless he would
do better business. lie assails a minister
in the Republican of the LIST inst, in very
unbecoming manner, declaring that he
was -, and that he was "a little fellow"
had large sized Congressional bee in his
Sonnet" and told him when you needed
his advice, you would 'let him know"
Now, Judge, | would not have man write
for me, were you, who writes SO SANDER
ously about one of the leading ministers of
the church. Moreover, he is your own pre-
siding elder Gf you have not recently been
expelled from the church, in regard to
which am not informed), and l guess he
had right to admonish you not to get
drunk.
The Republican does you murh harm,
too. Ii is always trying to bluff off every
piece of good advice your friends give you
in regard to your reforming your life.
Then, sometimes it is blasphemous
and is not particularly noted for telling the
| truth, and when the truth is told it tries to
cover it over with falsehood or a bluff
like Detective" did ''Solid Facts. Judge
| you are truthful man. I wouldn't let
that paper advocate my cause any more
Its editor just wants to send you back to
Congress SO he can hold his money making
position. He don't care if he does throw
you into temptations where you will be led
astray He cares not for your soul. 1t is
his pocket he cares for.
Now, Judge, I believe some assure you
too much. You say you went to Nashville
