He was eighty years of age and had been in this country since 1851, living all that time in New Haven.

A Big Buildtng-A PrOmenading Parfy'a
 Mistake


 Mir. O. D. Kinney, the mason contractor, has nearly completed his contract for the mammoth building on Brewery street for the Smedley Brothers. It is to be used by the firm for storage purposes and is brick, one hundred and forty feet long by sixty wide and several stories high. The SmedIey Brothers erected this building at considers ble cost for storage purposes, and had to have torn down large part of the buildings which were occupied by the former well known firm of Hubbell & Morton, carriage manufacturers, where for years great many carriages were manufactured principally for the southern trade. The buildings have been unoccupied or partially 50, for years. The new building looms up so prominently tEIat 1t was mistaken by young couple who were ont promenadlng there Saturday Tor the State armOry of the 0. N. G., and the ssbie driII xoomo was at once picked out. The windows and doors of the building have heavy granite caps and the cOrnices are of metal.

TeDnessee's matchmaking Act.
Indianapolis News.

Speaking of the Punishment of the
gamblers from Tennessee by a re-
cent act of the Legislature making it
a misdemeanor to keep or rent house
for gambling, with fine of $500 to
5000 and imprisonment for one to three
years, a contemporary says: "As in
indianapolis there is nothing to pre-
vent respectable citizens from leasing
commodioUs quarters to whomsoover
they please, accessions to the number
ofthe sporting brethren may be looked
for in this city," If our Legislature
has not repealed section % of the
"misdemeanor act" there is about as
much to prevent the renting of houses
for gambling purposes here as in Ten.
nessee. The penalty is not so heavy,
but is more than heavy enough if it
we're enforced. 1t never has been.
The owners of the buildings contain
ing tigers" dens and other holes and
means Of mischief, are never disturbed
They we're. some thirty-four and thirty
five years ago, when the committee
OF thirteen" appointed by a public
meeting of citizens, got after the
landlords that profted by them, but
if any owner Of a house has ever paid
a fine for renting any part of it for
gambling it will be news to everybody
alive now. The statute imposes a fine
Of $50 to $500 on such ofenses, but
does not add Imprisonment. That
makes no differencet though. The fine
would be fatal if anybody could be
found to make it stick. That's where
the trouble is.

wharf at 0 p. IN. yesterday. Every

AN eager if not commendable de-
sire to gather news appears to i'm
bue the minds of many correspondents
AS long as they report the facts,
whether palatable or motif is all right
and proper, but when they drop into
Joe Mulhatton's way, or attempt, like
Cunningham, Of st. Louis, or a recent
Baltimore genius, to describe exploits
which never happened, they degrade
their calling and bring contempt upon
journalism. An instance Of this
imaginary style occurred the other day
at Savannah when a jealous CORE
spondent in q full halt column Of
closely printed matter. gave q detailed
account Of how President Arthur
suffered from 3 severe attack Of the
ehills while on board Of the war YES
sci Tallapoosa, The most minute
particulars we're related even to the
way the aDtidotes were compounded,
as well as the hours they were admin
istered and other features, all Of which
gave a plausibility to the pretended
troubles calculated to impress a reader
with its accuracy. The symptoms as
described we're very similar to those Of
a sure enough eoDgestive chill. The
only fshy features about the yarn was
that the illness happened in the early
hours before hand that President
Arthur was on bis feet aud about the
ship during the forenoon of the next
day, so not more than three or four
persons aboard knew of his serious
suffering. 1t now appears that the
whole story was made up, or else the
correspondent took some old case
which happened several years ago,
mayhap one Of the late President
Garfeld's attacks, and worked it over
fer the occasion. He either did that,
or the Presidential party are all set
of prevaricators, who care no more for
the truth than corporations care for ii
when giving in valuations for assess
ments. There was no chill or bilious
collie, or perceptible rigor; there was
no blister applied, nor morphine in
lection, nor watcher by the Presi
dents sick bed; no doctor on hand
none sent for; no trains hurried
through to Washington; nothing Of
the kind, and the first the party and
the President knew of anything being
wrong with the Presidents system
was to fad it all in the newspapers
Since the denial the correspondent
declares it was all true, though none
but he knew of it. The case is still
more open to doubt since the reporter
sticks to it that the horse was eighteen
hands high, and that he had no snakes
in his boots, while the President wa

The aim Of theAsseciation Is 10 col

ed the realization Of this design long
before and it is now hoped it will be

better news of the South and in
which Southern people are interested,
would be greatly appreciated by the
readers of Southern journals. By To-
eating an agent in each of the larger

accomplished. That detail could
easily be arranged. 1t only remains
now to make an amicable arrangement
