secretary of state, is in the city to day.
He said to a Banner reporter To day
that he heard the argument in the
United States supreme court of the
attorneys engaged in the suit of the
holders of Tennessee bonds to compel
the railroads 10 become responsible for
said bonds, and that he hasn't doubt
that the decision will be in favor Of
the railroad. He said this opinion is
entertained by every fair minded man

Chas. w. Beaslev, who was ar
rested near Mansfield on Tuesday OF
last week at the instance of Miss Mary
Hagier, charging him with rape, was
tried on Friday last before Justices S.

proof before the court was clear and
convincing, showing that the crime
had been repeated several times.

bond, was committed to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury at the
January term Of the Circuit Court.
