The True Story of John Morgan.

CloverpOrt (Ky.) News.
The true story of General John Morgan's
death will never be told until the history of
his scandalous amours at Greenville, Tenn,
is wri item. His death, so far from being a
heros martyrdom in behalf of a cause he
esteemed holy was due to his libertine in
stincts and the blind, unreasoning fury of an
insanely jealous woman. Had he been pure
as a man as he was dauntless as a soldier he
would probably be alive to-day. This is the
whole truth of the matter in nutshell.
Like General Van Dorm, he could not govern
the baser passions of his nature, AMI like
that accomplished but unfortunate officer,
in gratifying those passions he lost his life.
1t was Don Juan and not Leonidas who was
killed in that Greenville garden.

business Would it lessen the grief of the
family if the murderer was allowed to pay
into the school fund certain sum of money?
Here is a business that has not one redeem
ing trait, and one-half of those who support
it by drinking would be glad to have it abol-
ished. Those only who make money out of
it are asking for its protection, and the lead
ers of great party, rich in fame and spoils,
are afraid to grapple with this cowardly mon
ster that lives and fattens on the weak-the
widows and children of the country.
The Republican party will deserve to die
and be buried without tear if it does not
espouse the cause of right and humanity,
keepers go to the Democratic party, or to
the devil as they might elect, nor would it
make much difference, as both lie in the
same direction, the party being the last sta
ton this side of headquarters.

TrOtting and Pacing-QuestiOnable Work
by Some of the Drivers.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The first race was the
unfinished 2:26 class postponed from yester-
day, when three exciting and closely con-
tested heats were trotted, Prince winning the
first, and Index the second and third. To-
day, Index won the final heat and race.
Kittie Van fell within two lengths, with
blood streaming from her nostrils having
choked down and ruptured a blood vessel.
Her driver, Ray Warner, was thrown heavily
to the track, striking on his head, and was
carried insensible to the clubhouse. Sum-

The next event was the unfinished 2:30
pacing race, three heats of which were paced
yesterday, Jordan taking the first two and
Billy NJ. the third. To-day, Billy NJ. won
the fourth heat, in 2:2414. In the next heat
there was every appearance that his driver
pulled him, and Jordan beat him out in 2:30.
This, with the fact that the regular pool
betters made Jordan favorite at 500 to $50,
before the heat, in spite of Billy M. having
won the heat before in the best time of the
race, led to the judges declaring it was no
heat, and John Campbell was put up to drive
Billy M. the next heat. To put it in the
mildest way, he drove very clumsily, for,
after Jordan broke at the turn, and fell sew
eral lengths to the rear, Campbell allowed his
competitors to come to even terms with him
on the far side of the track, and supple
mented this by letting his horse go to pieces
in tangled break on the stretch, and be
beaten by Jordan in I:30. The judges, how
ever, awarded the race to Jordan, and an
nounced that they would investigate the
matter after the days racing was over. Sum-

A Case of Blood Poisoning,

Correspondence Providence Press.
Mr.. Anthony has never fully recovered
from the effects of blood poisoning, at Bal
timore, several years aao-the year following
Summers death. He went out, while there
one day. to call on some Providence friends,
taking his dinner hour for the call He con-
versed with them somewhat at length, but
did not partake of dinner. On his way back
he stopped in at restaurant and was served
with partridge. Snow was on the ground,
and it is supposed that the bird, thus de-
prived of its ordinary supplies, had eaten of
kalmia berries and tainted it's flesh with their
poison. Soon after his meal he became ill,
and on the train for Washington feeling
worse and fearing he might become uncon-
scious, he called the conductor to him and
gave him his name and Washington address,
which proved a timely help on reaching
here. 1t was several days before he got about
to resume his public duties, and he has felt
the i'll effects of the attack from time to
time in his system ever since. The closing
weeks of the last session bore very hard on
him. with their almost incessant labors. 1t
was a suicidal thing for that body. which al
ways includes a majority of men past their
physical prime to remain in constant session,
taking only a short, unsatisfactory recess of q

That Phenomenal Kick.
Chicago Heral

Chicago Herald.
Catharine Lewis has grown into kicker of
the most finished Partisan type. When she
first began to dance that in famous farandole
scene in "Olivette" her movements were re-
fined and gentle to degree that was exces-
sively aggravating to the bald-headed contin-
gent in the front row. She tossed her dainty
slippers just enough to tantalize them, and,
no matter how vigorous or how often en-
cored, she would never kick higher than the
tops of the boots of Captain De Merrimac.
This was some years ago, however She has
gone on giving the opera year after year, and
as her popularity has increased she has grad
ually kicked a little higher and little
higher, until at present she throws her gilt
tering little slippers to an altitude that would
not disgrace the most accomplished French
opera bouffe dancer. Still it is done with
such Puritanical and innocent face and
such marvellous dexterity and quickress that
nobody thinks of being shocked, and people
remark How much she has improved since
the last time she was here" and the bald
headed contingent smiles joyfuIly.

Miss Bucknor's Part in the Tragedy.

Louisville Commercial.
1t is said that when Miss Buckner returned
to Harrodsburg after the scandal here in 1875
that resulted in her divorce. she was not
recognized by Mrs. Walter Davis, and that
Miss Buckner then said she would make Ger.
tain unfriendly ladies suffer" The pre-
sumption of this gossip is that she acquainted
Thompson with the fact of his wife's conduct
with Davis in order to revenge herself on
Mrs. Davis and cause trouble.
In his statement Thorn pson said that Davis
after taking his wife to the thester, returned
and carried her to mis- room, whence, after
remaining a while, he elected her into the
hall where she was found helplessly drunk
by the Waterman and proprietor. 1t is not
probable that Davis would have done it. II
he did he knew that he was counting certain
exposure and certain death, for he knew that
Thompson would kill him.
Roths denial and Miss Buckner's story
taken in connection with the former friend
ship, the high character of Davis the fact
that he was sober, and other circumstances
would suggest that Davis had taken Mrs.
Thompson to the theater. ~She was under
the influence OF liquor, and became more
affected by the close atmosphere. Fearing
public notice he got her out and took her
back to the hotel before the play was over.
Miss Buckner was in bed, and Davis, desiring
to shield Mrs. Thompson, did not call any
body, but possibly thought it best to let her
go to her room and to bed alone. She was
too intoxicated to find her room, and was
discovered cropping for it, and Davis was
near, probably waiting to see that she got in
safely. This accounts for his presence when
Miss Buckner opened the door to Mrs. Roth
to let Mrs. Thompson in. If Davis had
elected her from his room he would not have
followed her into the ball
If this hypothesis is established it would
appear that Miss Buckner had caused a
frightful crime in the effort to revenge her
self on Mrs Davis. This is the drift of COM
ment in Louisville among lawyers and in
telligent people.
