Chicago Marriage Statistics.

The County Clerk issued 1853 marriage
licenses during the past week. There
were three brides who were but 16
years old. In one case the groom was
Ii years older, in one 10 years, and in
another years. A groom of SO years
was married to bride of 26 years.
The average age of the men was %
years and of the women % years. OF
the former there were seventy-three
who were 25 years or less, and only
seven between 40 and 30 years. Fifty
five were between the years of 25 and
30, and twenty-eigh between 30 and 40.
Of the women four were between 40 and
50 years. The largest number, eighty,
were between 20 and % years. Twenty
three were between % and 30 years, and
forty 20 years or less.
An unusual occurrence was the ap-
plication of George A. Hamilton for two
licenses, which were issued to him. His
explanation was that. he being Cath
Ole and the lady to whom he is to be
married Protestant, and both desiring
to have the marriage solemnized ac-
cording to the laws of the church to
which they were members, he found it
necessary to have two licenses. The
statutes compel the clergyman who Of
ficiates at the marriage to make a re-
turn to the County Clerk, with his GER
tificate attached. The clergyman who
oHciates at the first ceremony would
have to retain the license and make his
return under it. The clergyman who
officiates at the second ceremony must
also make a return, which, of course,
he could not do. without having IL
cense, and the only way out of the diff
ficulty-the first clergyman having the
original license-was to obtain a second
license. Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Steam LanndrY.

The Pensacola Commercial an.
nounces that Steam Laundry is to
be put in operation in that city.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS us that
GAINESVILLE is in need of a similar
institution and we wish to adver-
tise the fact that steam laundry is
n UGH wantedHhere. II seems that
the Pensacola laundry is to be on
an extensive plan; good size
building is being erected for the
purpose, considerable machinery
has been purchased and skilled la
Dor employed to conduct it. Clarks-
vile could put up with something
smaller, but we believe this city
would support first class laundry.
The only dependence of the Clarks-
vile people now is colored washer
women and that is unsatisfactory,
expensive and often very annoying.
A good laundry would do its bust
ness with neatness and dispatch
and could afford to wash much
cheaper than at the prices that pre-
vail here. Articles could be washed
promptly at any time and it would
not be a week after they were sent
out before they were returned. We
believe a laundry in Clarksville
would be universally patronized by
the white population and would no
doubt prove profitable.

AmUSeMentS.

Barrett's Circus arrived in Clarks-
vile Sunday and gave the usual
street parade and two performances
on the following day. The perform
ances were fully up to the average
and possessed some superior feat
ures. A negro contOrtionist was the
best in his line that we have ever
seen, female equestrian in the
saddle did some splendid riding and
the iron jawed woman astonished
everybody. A man with metallic
teeth was also quite wonderful in
his way, and a woman balancing
herself in swing gave a novel and
difficult performance. The menag-
erie was not very large one, but
the circus, on the whole, was by no
means disappointment.
Cal Wagner's Minstrels will be at
the Opera House tonight. Happy
Cal has such a wide and well estab-
lished reputation as a burnt cork
artist that it would be superfuouS
to say anything in his praise. He
has a large and well selected troupe,
and will greatly amuse the large au-
dience that will no doubt attend.
The Milton Mobiles Dramatic
Troupe appeared at Elders Opera
House Thursday night in their well
known play, the Phoenix. This
comedy having been on the stage
for ten years, is quite familiar to
the theatre goers of larger cities, but
it wes never presented in Clarks-
vile before and a very fair audi
ence witnessed it Thursday night
for the first time. The Phoenix is
one of those dramps that might be
said to be written with the scissors.
The plot he's all the usual ingredi-
ents of a last will, detectives, a
heavy villain and pretty girls reck-
lessly thrown together, but it con-
tains many happy hits of broad and
racy humor that take with the
crowd and keep the audience in a
laugh. There is one glaring incon-
sistency in the play that hardly
any one would fail to notice. a
pretty pirouetteing little flower girl
is presented as the older half-sister
of man apparently thirty years of
age.
Mr.. Mobiles acting was very good
with the exception OF rather in
distinct utterance, and his support
was fair, to say the least of it. Mr..
Max Fehrmann as Moses SolOmons
was highly exaggerated caricature
of the lower class of Isrealites, but
he succeeded in "bringing down
the house" on more than one occa-
sion. Miss Alpha Perry deserve
mention for the captivating and
piquant manner in which she per-
sonated Katie Moran. The fire
scene YVES well executed and very
realistic. On the whole, the PhR-
nix is a good play for mixed audi
ence and is always likely to meet
with favor.

Murder and Lynchnq at Russenv,ne.

| News reached GAINESVILLE last
Friday of an unprovoked murder
that had been wantonly committed
at Russellville three days before and
of the speedy lynching of the per-
petrators of the dastardly deed on
the succeeding night. A report of
so sensational character of course
caused some excitement and people
were anxious to get at the full par
ticulars of the matter. We take
the following.facts from very elab-
crate account of the tragedy in the
Herald Enterprise of Wednesday.
The killing occurred on the day
that circus had visited Russell
vile. The murdered man was
named Dick Winlock, and is de-
scribed as being perfectly inoffen-
sive when sober, and maudlin and
helpless when drunk" the latter
being his most common condition.
He was going home in his usual
besotted state when he was overta-
ken by two negroes, Sambo Bailey
and Nelson Cooper, who out of sheer
wantonness and without any provo
cation shot and killed him. The
negroes lived on Mrs. J. A. Kings
place near Russellville. Mr.. Sims
King had given them his horse to
take home and he went on ahead of |
them in IA buggy with neighbor,
Mr.. Simmons. The negroes being |
further behind than they should |
have been, these gentlemen drove |
back to see after Mr.. Kings horse,
and came up in time to hear the |
negroes curse Winlock and shoot |
him. Bailey who was first arrested |
said Cooper did the shooting. Coop
er was very defiant when taken,
boldly acknowledged the crime,
saying, swell, did shoot at the
d--n son Of a b-h, twice, but l don't |
know whether l hit him or not.
The sequel is known. A very
quiet mob took both prisoners from
Jail Thursday night and hung
them to a tree near town. It is the
first lynching that ever occurred in
Logan county.
