Curious Statistics.

Statistics, usually dry reading, and
not seldom stumbling blocks even to
theinitIated, still making Us acquaint-
ed with curious facts, upon which
any one who pleases may ponder
On Saturday, for instance, a report
from q body styled the "Anthropo-
metic Committee" was read by Sir
Rawson before the appropriate sec
ton of the British Association, which
no one now calls, as some did in 1884,
ga company of fools" The docu-
ment we refer to contained much in
formation bearing on the stature,
weight and complexion of the people
of the United Kingdom. Into this
large field we shall not enter, noting,
however. the generalinference, which
is not new, that the conditions OF
country life are more favorable than
those of town life 10 physical devel-
opment. One or two special induc-
tions, it may be said, impress more
than they surprise. mus we are
told that criminals and lunatics are
two inches shorter than those classes
of the population to which they be-
long. Here it must be remarked
that the committee deal with aver
ages, and that all the unfortunates
ard offenders are not short. The
bulk are so. no doubt, because they
have been insufiiciently fed, clothed
and housed when young. Indeed, the
whole paper shows the importance of
heathful nurture. 1t Is, however,
very remarkable that the greater
number of criminals are of dark COM
pleXion, while the majority of luna
tics are fair. What inference can be
drawn from this, and what cOncep-
ton may there be between crime and
madness and the color of the hair and
tint of the skin? We may, at all
events, congratulate persons of a me-
dunn hue, who seem the least liable
to the Jail and asylum. Exchange.

Mr.. Wimberly, who Aourished a

to have the case in court against him
transferred to and tried before the
United States Court. He claims that

internal revenue agent be has right
to carry arms. The question arises.
however, whether or not he has any
right to brighten passengers, and make
them scamper pell NELL out of the
passenger train, while he points his
pistol about in a promiscuous manner.
IAN incident in street car No. 80 this

Death Of Col. Jno. W. Wallace.

Col. Jno. w. Wallace died at his
home ON Greenwood Avenue, Sun
day evening at I o'clock, after an
illness of several weeks. Col. Wal
lace was about sixty-eight years old.
He was a native of Stafford county,
Va. For the past five years he has
been a resident Of GAINESVILLE. For
about thirty years preceding his res
idcnce in this city he lived near Gar
rettsburg, in Christian county, KY,
where he was engaged extensively in
planting, was robust, and apparently
in the enjoyment of perfect health.
He was man of strong feelings, of
decided convictions, and no man to
whom he was friend ever had a
truer one. He was, moreover, a man
of undoubted integrity and in every
respect good citizen and valuable
man. He leaves wife, daughter,
Miss Carrie, and three sons, to whom
the sympathy of the community goes
out in their afliiction.-Tobacco Leaf.
Col. Wallace's remains were
brought to this city for intcrmcnt
last Tuesday afternoon and religious
services were held by DR.. A. d. Sears
and Rev. j. w. Lupton, of Clarks-
vile.

Safe Breakers at Elkton.

Thursday morning, at about three
o'clock, safe belonging to Judge
Terry, at Elkton, was blown open and
the contents, amounting to about
81, 700, stolen. The safe was in 4. B.
Weathers', drug store, and contained
$1,000 in bills, and the balance in gold
and silver. The knob that turned the
combination lock of the safe was
knocked of, and powder inserted in
the opening and the doors blown of.
1t is said that young man named
Williams was sleeping in the next
store, on the other side of the wall
from where the safe was, and that he
was blown out of bed by the shock,
but was afraid to look out and see
what was the matter. Two young
men were also sleeping in Mr.. Wealth
ers' store up stairs, and were aroused
by the report, but were afraid to in
vestigate. It's also said that the fash
of the powder was seen by negro.
No clue has as yet been obtained al
to who the burglars were, the genera
impression seeming to be that the,
were persons well acquainted with thu
premises.

Fire at cadiz.

Mr.. John Theobald, who returned
from Cadiz, the capital Of Trigg, yes
terday, brought the news of de-
structive fire Sunday night which
burned eight or ten business houses
ON the south side of Main street. The
fire originated at 6 o'clock in 7. F.
Mcbride & Co.'s furniture store and
burned all of the buildings in the
block from Terry's drug store to
Lindsay's corner. The following
persons were burned out:
T. F. Mcbride & Co., furniture
store; w. F. Hamilton, saddler's
shop; Jno. Theobald & Co., shoe
shop; L. Barnes, brick livery stable
store lately occupied by Jas. Wade,
deceased; G. Willis Lindsay's gro
Gerry. The buildings were all frame
but one and were owned by G.
Willis Lindsay, T. II. Grinter, Robt.
MILFORD and Mrs. M. A. Smith.
Most ofthe parties got out all of their
goods and the loss was principally
on the buildings and will probably
reach $4,000, with no insurance.
