The Nashville Banner has officially
announced that it is an Independent
paper, owing allegiance to NO party.
This is not surprising to. those who
have read it regulsrly, but we confess
that we are panied to lose it from the
ranks of democracy, even as an indie
pendent democratic Journal. 1t is
ably and honestly edited, is one of
the brightest Of Tennessee papesr, and
we have no hard words to uss against
it. We believe its managers are
adopting course which they conscien
tionsly believe to be the best for them
and the state, and that they will not
descend to lew partisan tricks to win
a victory for any man. But we still
believe they could have done more
good in the democratic camp.

At the recent term of the quarterly
court of Gibson county, tax of thirty
cents on the hundred dollars was levied
for public school purposes. This is
about the heaviest tax for that pur-
pose levied by amy county in the
State. Under the management of
one of the most active aud energetic
public school superintendent in Ten,

been raised to the standard, and not
surpassed by any county in the entire

capital required is not large. A few
farmers might club together and buy
the machinery and work up the crops
of their neighbors. Tennessee is said
to be in the centre of the sorghum SUI

meanor, the gallant doorman issued forth and resumed his seat upon the steam radi- ator.
 The effect either of the doorman's advice or of some influence unknown seems to have produced an attack of melancholy from which results began at once to follow Catherine soon formulated design to take her life. No sooner had she made up her mind than she began to execute She took her cloak from the bench and threw it over rod which runs along over the door. Around her neck she placed one of the sleeves of the garment and then endeavored to pass the end over the rod. By dint of a severe struggle she ac- complished this. She then rested her full weight on the garment and deliberately started off on the road to that bourne from which nobody was ever known to return for any length of time. She choked and made good deal of noise about it. From his seat on the heater the wary doorman was attract ed by the sounds and he hastened within his gloomy precincts. Going to Catherine's cell, from which the sounds came, he hastily cut down the would-be suicide. The woman protested and under the influence of his persuasions she lay down to sleep.

Caretaker Duped by Medical Students
 OTTAWA, Ont, December 26.-One of the boldest cases of body -snatching that Shaye been recorded for some time past has just ta- ken place at Wilton, on the line of the Grand Trunk railway, sixteen miles west of Kings ton. The day after the body of John Chat terton had been placed in the vault two young men went to the man n:.charge;of the vault and representing themselves as relatives of the dead man said they had received information that the medical students at the Kingston university had planned to steal the body, and they wanted to get it away for burial else where. One of the young men, with tears in his eyes, depicted the anxiety of the relatives of the dead man and the determination of the ghoulish students to get possession of the coveted subject. At length the caretaker made an appointment to give the coffin into the possession of the friends after dark. At the appointed hour the two young men re- turned with four of their friends, and the body was handed over to them The young men, it was afterwards discovered, were the medical students whom they had cautioned the caretaker against. Chatterton had died of peculiar disease, which had puzzled the physicians, and consequently was good sub- ject for the dissecting table. No trace of the body has been found.

SHE WANTED TO DIE.

Catherine Doughan Amuses Herselffn
 the Police Station by Attempting Sui-
 cide-GalIant DOOrman Moore to the
 Rescue.
 Doorman Richard Moore rescued an unfor- tunate woman from attempted suicide last evening, and thereby earned the gratitude of the Italian portion of the community at least. The woman was Catherine Doughan, and she has been distinguished as possessing charms by which half the male Italians of the city have been ensnared into the widest affection for her. Not long ago Catherine was arrest ed for some unlawful act, and as that fact became noised abroad the police office was swarming with Italians ready to furnish collateral to obtain the release of the woman, and one of the number even went so far as to offer to marry her if she were released Cath erine, on being informed of the generous of fer, signifed her willingness to accept it and be joined to her swarthy lover in the marriage yoke. But, being especially aekle, she re- fused to carry out her promise.
 It would seem that Catherine was little af feeted by the moral lesson of a stay in the lookup and that she has been as festive and careless as ever. She was found yesterday
 
 by an officer of the law in state commonly known as drunk and in an otherwise dis tressing condition Her popularity also seems to have waned since she shook her lover so unceremoniously, as her march to the tramps' lodging house and criminals re- sort was not attended by any popular demot- stration whatever nor, during her subsequent stay there did any Italians come to bail her out, although she was exceedingly full. Catherine's sportiYe nature seems to be hostile to prison confinement and she sQon began to take measures to effect however, in finding any means of | esoape She then took off her shoe and be- I gan to break the windows for amusensnt This was too much for the patience of pa l tient Richard Moore He took down big key and locked up the sportive Catherine 1T one of the little cells.

MURDER AT A WEDDING.
An Infuriated Man Shoots Down the
 Host.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Dec. 26-Christmas was the day for the marriage of Willis Burch and Miss Mary Reno. Accordingly friends of the party gathered at the residence of William J. Taylor to witness the ceremony. The we'd ding feast was spread and the guests were as- sembled, among the number being Mrs. Ma than PartIow. Mrs. Partlows husband had forbade her attending the wedding, and just as the ceremony was to be performed he made his appearance. In obedience to his orders his wife set out to go home with him. While waiting on the porch he made several remarks of an uncomplimentary character concern ing the guests. MT. Taylor, the host, stepped to the door and requested him to desist,
 but to no purpose. He finally ordered him to leave the premises and angry words en- sued. Taylor, as a last resort, took hold of Partlow when the latter drew revolver and fred The ball took effect in Taylor's side
 and ranged inward and downward. A physician was summoned and he pronounced the wound mortal. Partlow gave himself up immediately after the shooting and was committed to jail. Taylor has been married about one year and has one child. Partlow has wife and two children. While the wounded man was receiving atten- tion the wedding party assembled in another room and MT. Burch and Miss Reno were married, after which the guests dispersed, leaving the wedding feast untouched.

Awoman Dies From Fright.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-A cry of fire was started Wednesday by some boys who were passing the fve-story tenement house, No. 50 Division street, from the basement of which smoke was pouring, but it was subse- quently learned that the smoke was the re- suit of an attempt to thaw out 8 water pipe. There was no immediate danger of a conha- grafton, and the damage to the building proved trifing. During the excitement, however, an invalid woman named Mary Moss, residing in an upper fiat, became alarmed and insisted on being carried out of the building. While being carried down the stairway, her alarm was increased at sight of the dense clouds of smoke, and before the firemen reached the lower floor, the woman had expired, her death being caused by fright
