what were the Inducements OtEeretl9


There is good deal of suFmising as to what
inducements were offered John King, jr., to.
take the presidency of the Erie Mr. King has
time and again stated that he would not take
the position if it were offered him, and that he
had given up railroad work altogether. His long
and very able services of fourteen years as vice.
president of the Baltimore & Ohio road have
shown that he is in every way fitted to perform
the duties of his new Office, but the impression
gained after his return from Europe, that he
would accept no position thereafter rendered
him. He said then: II have been asked to take
prominent positions at different times with one
or more foreign railroads, and with American
roads as we'll / refused each and every one,

Arrest oG Henry smith.

A few days ago Sheriff Haskins
was notified by Chic: Davis, of
Memphis, that Henry Smith, who
had murdered one keiser, in the
city of Memphis, on the 9th day of
November, was at large, and that he
had friends in this county, I'm
Fronchman Bayou neighborhood,) }
and requested hint Ilaskins)to keep a
look out for him. A watch was i'm
neaiately sent down, who spotted
and reported the man in the neigh
borhood. With u couple of his dep
uties, Ilaskins went down last Tues
day night and captured his man, and
lodged him safely in Jail. Thursday
he left with him for Memphis, where
he will be turned over to the au-
thoritlcs.

EFg<fac Jail.

While Sheriff Haskins and his
deputies were absent the other night,
locking for Smith, the Memphis
murderer, William Lumley, who
murdered Joseph Hudgins in July
1888, broke Jail and made his escape.
1t appears that fellow prlsoaer,
lately incarccrated, and placed out
side the cells, furnished the prisoner
pocket knife, with which he cut
through the bottom OF his cell-half
inch boiler iron, aud two inches of
solid oak plank. 1t is the custom
of the iailer, Mr.. F. Meadows, to in
spcct the Jail and prisoners every
dav, but ON this occasion a new man
was in charge during Meadows alb
scnce, who was inexperienced. Two
hundred dollars reward Is offered by
I!askius, who will leave no stone
uuturned to secure his re-arrest; and
Lumley will no doubt soon occupy
his old quarters.

tOs'sItg scrip.

Since 1870 Mississippi County
Scrip has ranged in value all the
way from - cents up to - and 50
cents ON the dollar. Hardly, how
ever. has it ever exceeded go cents
on the dollar. Indeed, during the
time mentioned, it has heen under
oCtener rather than above these liz
ures. Without datas or reports
from which To base an estimate, it
may he safely assumed that the
county during the past fifteen years
has paId two dollars for ever dollars
worth of material or services render
,d il. This assertion, we believe,
mo man, who is at all posted or IA
miliar with the management OF the
county finances, will for moment
contradict. Tho current annual eX-
ponse of running the county does
not exceed six or seven thousand
dollars. The value of the real estate
property of the county is something
over million dollars. Now the
point we want TO make, or rather
the proposition we want to submit
to the taxpayers Of MlsSlsslpPl
county is this: With million dol
lars worth of property, to otter as
security, wouldn't it be better to
borrow MtoEe&. Z 81 sxs- .,r lU -. r, s,,

to pay an annual debt of say S6,O0t
rather than pay $1,000 IN county
scrip? This is proposition which
should command the attention ol
every citizen; all are interested IL
/ this matter, whether tax payer OF
not. The county scrip system IS
D failure: the county is gradually
year after year, sinking deeper and
deeper in debt. We would like to
hear from some of our business mer
and fnanciers on this subject.

OBITUARY.
WILLIAM H. CRossMAN.


 Mr Wm IF. Crossman, the we'll known and popular landlord, died at this place on Friday, the 4th inst. He was born in Hudson, N. Y., in 1914. About 40 years ago he bought mill in Huntsville where he carried on business for some years, coming to Litchfeld in 1850. Here he kept the United States hotel for several years and then the Mansion house, and during that time was con- nected with the first organization of the Litchfeld bank, as president. In 1859 he leased the American house in Vol cottville, whence he removed to Meri- den. In 1866 he returned to this village and leased the Mansion house, of which he had charge the 12 years following. In 1873 he purchased, improved and re- furnished the United States, where he has ever since remained, though he con- tinued in charge of the Mansion house, also, till 1878.
 MT Crossman not only looked the ty- pical landlord, he was as genial, gener- ous and kind hearted as he looked. Ii was the people to whom a hotel is a curse who preyed on him instead of his preying on them. He might easily have died rich man had not his easy dispo- sition and his misplaced confidence in his fellow men made him more frequent ly loser than gainer in the scramble of life.
 The funeral was attended with Ma sonic ceremonies from the Episcopa church on Sunday afternoon. Seventy masons from this place and Torringto1 were in line, and marched in processlol to the East cemetery, wearing the rega lia of their order.--Litclyaeld Enquirer July 10.
