A fragrant Outrage.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-ln
October last charge was preferred
before the Grand Jury Of this county
against w. II. Johnson, Esq, by one
August Liable, accusing him OF the
crime OF perjury. This charge was
by the Grand Jury thoroughly exam
ined and ignored.
On the l4th of November, 1883, the
said Liable, without the knowledge of
the District Attorney, filed COM
plant before E. p. Lennon, justice
OF the peace, charging him, johnson,
Nth the same otfense.
No attempt was made at that time
to arrest Mr.. Johnson, although he re-
manned ia the county until the Sth of
December, 1888. Mr.. johnson went
to the CrLr d'Alene mines in Janu-
arv, 1884, and the llth Of March,
1884, without the knowledge OF the
District Attorney, warrant was Is.
sued and placed in the hands of the
Sheriff for his arrest, and Mr.. johnson
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Camp
bell, in the Co ur d'Alenes, last Sun
day morning, and arrived in HALEY
to-day in custody, and on his arrival
was taxi before said Justice, before
whom he demanded an immediate ex-
animation. The facts being admitted
by District Attorney as above stated,
in open Court, Mr.. johnson was dis
charged. aud the costs Of the proceed
ing was taxed against the complain
ing witness Liable. We submit that
his entire matter is a 6agrant out
rage on Mr.. johnson, and the instica-
tors, whoever they may be, deserve
ard merit the condemnation Of all tax
payers. SUBSCRIBER.
The costs to the county for this
case will exceed $40O.-ED.

and letting the cards Of the several par
GELS fall within and upon each other,
in manner common with whist play
ers, and then shoveling them together
as pack, which process he several
times repeated.
That the shuttle SO made was, in our
Judgment, amply sufficient to alter
IN aterially the position Of the cards, to
place them in new order OF arrange
ment, and to fully answer the require
ments Of the game.
That the pack SO shuflled was then
cut by said Kierstead, and was imme-
diateIy dealt by said Webster, in the
manner required by whist rules, and
with the following results:
TO said Culbertson were dealt thlr-
teen spades; to said Starbuck was
dealt thirteen hearts; to said Kierstead
was dealt thirteen diamonds; and to
said Webster was dealt thirteen clubs,
which were trumps.
And, they further say, that during
the play aforesaid, the only person
present besides themselves was George
G.. Minor, who was at another table
playing solitaire; and that there
neither was nor could have been any
substitution of cards in their game by
any outsider.
And they further say, that there
was no design, continuance, or collu-
sior by or between them. or any of
them, to produce said result; and said
Webster for himself says that said
shuttle and deal Of the pack we're fair
and witho 1t trick.

The failure of the Metropolitan Opera
house will not surprise any one who
knows anything of the extraordinary ex-
penses attending the management OF
such enterprises-tfe extravagant salaries
paid the leading singers, the large sums
expended on scenery and dresses, and
the immense number OF persons en-
ployed as choristers, supers, carpenters,
scene-shifters and painters, deco
rators and Costumers, and in the ballet, a
necessary adjunct OF grand opera. The
Metropolitan was admirably managed by
Strakosch, who has spent lifetime in the
business and understands it thoroughly.
The artists, scenery, costumes, chorus,
ballet, and above all, the orchestra, we've

were a revelation even to New Workers,
who were habitues of the Academy of
Music under all the preceding man
agements, from Max Maretzek to Col
Mapleson, OF Her Maiesty's own" The
failure is, therefore, not due to the man
agement, but to the TACT that New York
will not pay as London does for first-class
opera. II cannot stand the prices, which
were all the way from 81 50 to 500 per
night for boxes. 1t is rumored that Guy,
of London, Mapleson's old rival, is to un-
dertake the management. II he does, as
Abbey says, he, too, will fail unless the

BIRMINGHAM, February 15.-Everything
can be got ready without difficulty for the
opening of tie permanent Exposition on
April 1st, the day appointed by the COM
mittee of the Board of Trade that has the
building and other preparations in charge.
The main building is completed and the
laboratory for the use of the State geologi-
cal survey will be done in about week.
The Louisville and Nashville railroads ex-
show, is here, and the two other roads
running to Birmingham will probably fur
nish exhibits, the Georgia Pacific having
already promised to assist. Space is to be
to exhibitors from other points will be
freight charges to Birmingham. The
building has been paid for by private SUBJ
scription, except about 500 borrowed on
$50 and SD 90 notes. The city is to pay
for the laboratory.
Preliminaries are being arranged for
surveys ordered by the County Commits
sioners with view to building five iron
bridges in the county. The county has
the money to pay off the outstanding
balance, about 5000, of its courthouse and
Jail debt, and leave comfortable surplus
in the treasury. The proposed bridges, il
built, will be the first Improvements of the

rapidly. A hundred miles or SO up, the
| river the weather is clear and cold.
O'Clock p. A-River still falling half
an inch an hour.
Night-The river continues to recede
slowly. Relief measures are being en-
ergetically pushed, both by the govern
ment officials and the local committees,
who are working harmoniously together.
The Chamber of Commerce has appointed
committee to take such steps as may be
necessary to inaugurate a movement to
fill up the lower part of the city to
hight above the present flood.
O'Clock A.M.--The Commercial Gazetts
says: The steamer Kate Waters returned
tonight from trip up the river as far as
Maysville. This is the only boat up the
river since the flood. Progress is exceed
ingly slow. The men on the steamer re-
port no bottom lands in sight from here to
MaysYille. The river is actually extend
ing from hill to hill. This means vast
losses to farms, the details OF which can
not be know till the water subsidies.
Maysville is in good condition, because
such a large portion is out of the
water, but the people of Chester village,
in the eastern part of Maysville, are
suffering for fuel, light and food. The
people there are very modest in their re-
quests, and ask for no delicacies or lux
uries, but only bread and meat. Man.
chester, ten miles above Maysville, has
not been heard from until to-day, when a
committee, Capt. k;rker, Judge Collins
and a Presbyterian minister, on their way
to Cincinnati in a skiff, hailed the
Kate Waters and were taken aboard.
They report the town almost ruined, being
wholly covered with water Many build
ings are ruined brick buildings crumb-
ling and frame ones washing away. A
militia company is patroling the streets
in boats, distributing food; their supply is
about exhausted. All along the river
stories come of the most generous aid by
farmers and others lar into the interior
sending food in wagons. Without this
aid much suffering would have
resulted all along the river. 1t is said
the late wind-storm did untold damage to
buildings, to repair which after the flood
will require money and much time to rem
der them habitable. Aberdeen, opposite
Maysville, was badly wrecked by the late
storm. The town is entirely destitute OF
coal-oil and practically in darkness. Some
help has been sent over from Mays
vile. Ripley has fully 1900 people
dependent, and has been receiving help
from the interior as far back as Hillsboro,
thirty-five miles away. The village of
Rural, with $50 inhabitants, has ITO desti-
tute, ana elght fanllIeS are sheltered IN
little church and thirty-fve persons in
small schoolhouse. Relief by the Granite
State tomorrow will be gladly received.
AT 10 o'clock tonight the river had re-
ceded eighteen inches.
2 O'Clock A,M-The river continues
falling with an increasing rate. 1t fell an
inch and quarter between IL and Il
O'Clock. An alarm was started tonight
by the cracking of the walls of the Broad
way Hotel, Second and Broadway. The
house was filed with families, which
were as speedily as possible removed by
beats.

The flood is beginning to subside at all
points along the Ohio save at Wheeling,
where a rise OF q few inches was reported
last night. There is every reason TO hope
that this decline will be steady, and that
in few davs we shall be able to know
what the loss of property and life has
been. Meanwhile, the Red Cross Society,
the relief committees, and the officers
appointed by the Secretary of War to
distribute the tents, clothing, and
provisions supplied by the general govern
ment are pushing things" with might
and main, and are reaching out timely
succor to the closcly-besieged and homeless
thousands. Nothing in modern life speaks
so well for the American people as their
promptncss to relieve suffering and the
readiness with which they adapt them
selves, as in this case, even to the most
untoward circumstances.

TIE question of permitting the BARRIERS
to open their shops on Sunday will come
before the Taxing-District Coun;il at its
next meeting for final action. Most of the
BARRIERS have petitioned for this privilege,
and as a majority OF the Council favor it as
a needed convenience, especially for the
travelling public, the ordinance introduced
and passed on its first reading on Thurs
day will be adopted. To this there will
not be any objection by a majority OF the
citizens, by whom extreme Sabbatarian-
ism is Justly held in detestation. There
is something due to church-going people
order, peace and decorum throughout
the city, and freedom from drunkenness
and rowdyism, especially during the hours
of public worship. These must be OBJ
served, and can be; without denying to
weary travellers an opportunity for a
shave and bath.

GATH" says the statue of Prof. Henry
before the Smithsonian Institution, by w.
w. Story, is an admirable likeness. and
presages success in his statue of John
Marshall from a certain similarity in the
costumes. Prof Henry also wears gown
somewhat like those of the JUS
tees Of the Supreme Court. The
statue OF Senator Morton, recently
raised at indianapolis, is further evi-
dence of advancing nationality, and Mr..
Joseph Mcdonald, Democrat, added his
tribute to Mortons fame. The public
statuary of the United States, ii assem-
bled into one hall, would be surprising in
its extent and variety.

Regular Correspondence of the Appeal
BELLS, February 14.-The J. f. erich.
low stock of goods was sold by the re.
ceiver OF the stock, f. L. Evens, to Messrs
Mitchell u league, who, after trying the
grocery business few days, sold to Tom
Balland, who has been running q saloon
on Front row for some time. Balland
has moved his saloon into the back part of
the house occupied by Mitchell & league,
on Main street
There are only two houses occupied now
on Main street,. f. Evans's saloon and
J. B. Weddle's shoe shop, in the brick
block.
Prof. j. Nelson, of DancyyilIe, has been
elected principal of the academy here.
Miss Alabama McMoy will assist him.
Messrs. W.P Dawson, G.. P. Andrews,
J. B. Weddle, B. II. Medlin and Claude J.
Bell attended the annual meeting of the
West Tennessee Horticultural Society, at
Brownsville, last week. Prof. Bell was
made secretary oil the society.
The fruit and vegetable interests here
are assuming vas proportions.
The Bells Depot Horticultural Society
met here last Monday. One of the prin-
cipal objects OF the meeting this time was
to examine samples of box material sent
by different manufacturers and make out
an order for boxes to ship the present
crop. By uniting, the growers here are
able to buy timber by the carload, and
ship fruits in the same way. Thus they
are enabled to save great deal OF money
to each member.
Our genial, warm-hearted friend, John
P. Sensing, who has worked for the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Company as
freight and express agent and telegraph
operator for twelve or fifteen years, with
out losing as many days, is now out of
employment. The company cut Mr.. SEN
sings wages down so that he could not
make an honest support for his fam
lily and he was compelled to resign.
The railroad company certainly does not
realize the amount of work. Mr.. Sensing
has done here. He has ever been at his
post, faithful and honest, and no man has
more friends. The company will certainly
realize that it has lost a most valuable
man.
