A Remarkable Electric Engine.


What is known as the Bidwell electric
engine was placed upon exhibition at
Philadelphia a few days ago. 1t ID re-
markable electric engine, which lights,
heats and propels car b. use of a
dynamo, which can be operated by
either steam or water The electric
current is conveyed by wire to the con
ductors and transmitted from these to
the motor in tle Car. Its additional
utility is demonstrated by the fact that
the return current also lights the streets
along the line of railway. AT the ex-
hibition the car was propelled distance
of 200 feet around large room, with Q
dozen passengers, under perfect cont rol
by the engineer or driver; it was
lighted and heated and large electric
lights were made TO burn along the
line, receiving their current FROM the
same dynamo that gave the propellinG
power to the motor.

COZ. YOCUm's ADDRESS
'EO the Board of Aldermen. 4
Eery Able Document Which
should be Read by
Every Citizen.
Some sensible Suggestions Com
cernimg Needed Reforms.

GENTLEMEN AND MEMBERS OF THE
BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF JOHNSON
CRY I'm compliance with the gen
eral law in relation to Municipal Cor
porations, in the State OF Tennessee,
which says that che, (the Mayor
shall, by written communication, lay
before the Board any information
needed, and recommend such meas
uras as he may deem expedient."
now apply myself to the performance
OF this duty.
Our corporation is new, and comes
to us with the fresh imprint Of the
great law-making power of the State.
We have no precedents from a line
of predecessors, to aid, and guide us
in the performance of our duties. We
must hew out new path, unmarked
and untrodden, and it will require
care, industry and business discretion
to keep the path straight. We will
have to remember, that we can do
nothing, except the power be given
us by law. There are no latent or reserv-
ed powers upon which we may trench
And when about to perform any act
in connection with our Offices, the
very first inquiry is, where is oul
authority for doing so? But while
this cautious inquiry should cause
us to make no mistakes, we are, new
ertheless, required to act with vigol
in matters fairly placed at our dispos
al. A proper question is then, at tht
very beginnig,
WHAT HAVE WE THE RIGHT TO DO?
Our own Charter, and the gen
eral laws in relation to Mum
cipal Corporations, together with til,
decisions of the Courts in relation
thereto, give us the whole answer

ing powers 1--WE may sue and b

yet to be under the strictest control Of |
the law and should advise that the
Marshall be instructed to keep the
most yigilant watch against any viola
tons that may occur Only the most
vigilant care can prevent serious inju-
ny from resulting to the peace and
quiet of the Town. Parties unfit to
be licened and those selling without
license should be summarily delt with
POLICE FORCE.
An efficient Police force, to be APP
pointed and on hand when needed,
and to be paid stipulated price while
on duty,--to be at the command Of the
Mayor or Marshall / deem it import
ant that your body should make pro-
vision for. In case of fire, when life
and property are endangered, and in
case of sudden out break, discrete
men, understanding their duty, could
thus be promptly on hand for the bet
ter protection of the public. If it be
known that u sufficient and reliable
force is always ON hand, or within
calling distance, serious distinctions
will not be likely to occur.
THE BOARDS POWER
The Legislative, the Executive and
the Judicial powers of the State, have
been curtailed in order to give to us a
part of the power they possess, for the
purpose OF regulating. the local affairs
of this town and within the scope OF
this authority we are accountable
only to its citizens. Our places are
places of public trust, to be used only
for the public good, and not to accom-
plish any private aims. What we do
should be free from all species offavor-
iteism and solely with view to the
public good. We will have to meet
the complaints of the GROWERS with
equnimity, and move straight on the
line Of duty without regard to clamor
1t will require business courage to
stand for the right, and discretion to
avoid the wrong.
| shall take the liberty, Gentlemen
of the Board, of laying before you
such matters as may appear to be Of
the greatest Importance, by subse'
quent communication in writing as
the work of your board may progress
and shall ask that each of YOU devote
a part of his time to a consideration
of matters for the public welfare; and
i II I n
resolutions made or presented to the
Board be put into writing-so that
they may go on file with its papers
Propositions to be presented ought tt
be put into writing and thought ovel
before being presented. | can only
further ask you to be prompt and ex
pcditons in forwarding the work to b.
done. 5. H, YocUM, Mayor

AGaoodl AAdrers.

We are highly pleased with Col.
Yocum's address to the Board Of Al
dermen. 1t is brim full Of good sound
practical ideas. 1t shows that he ful-
~ realizes the duties Of his Office, and
that he viii perform them with fideli-
ty, courage and discretion. No citi-
zen will read this document without
feeling just pride in the fact that SO
able and efficient man is ut the head
OF the municipal affairs OF Johnson
City.
We wish to call special atten-
ton to his remarks about the immcdi-
ate necessity of putting the town in
good sanitary condition. We have
had a good deal of sickness in our
town recently and it is not difficult to
divine the cause OF It, The common
laws of health must be observed, and
it is high time that there was gcner-
al cleaning up in the town.
AprOpos to Col, Yocums remarks
about cholera, we quote the following
paragraph from circular recently is
sued by the National Board Of Health
Tennessee is, perhaps, as ready to
meet an invasion OF Asiatic Cholera
as any of the United States. As fal
back as 1888 an intimate acquaintance
with this scourge of the ninteentl
century was formed. Lovely country
towns like Shelbyville were decimated
while its capital city, Nashville, rank
ed with Lexington Kentucky, mos
noted OF all the cities afflicted.
In 1873 twenty counties, extending
from the southwestern frontier bord
ering the State Of Mississippi to tn
northeastern line coterminus with Viz
ginia, were laid waste,
The Tennessee public knows fal
well the brief but emphatic logic Q
history. Never has Asiatic Choler
prevailed as an epidemic in Western
Europe without crossing over to A
nerica. Never has it reached Amer
ca without desolating Tennessee"

Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the gravest malades of the throat

impel every prudent person to keep at

AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works so sure cure in all affections
of this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. f. Sweetzer, Of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, ne, says
"Medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant so good as AYERS CHERRY
PRcroRAL. II is invaluable for diseases Of tho
throat and lungs"
The same opinion Is expressed by the
well-hnown DR.. L. j. Addison, of Chicago,
ILL.,, who says
ssI have never found, in thirty-hve years Of
continuous study and practice Of medicine, any
preparation of so great value as AYERS CHERRY
PEoToRAL, for treatment Of diseases Of the
throat and lungs. 1t not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections"

A queer delusion prevails among the
more ignorant inhabitants Of the New
ngland states. 1t is common belief,
that most OF the springfield lakes
which abound in that part of the
country are, If not exactly bottomless,
at least of unfathomed depth. Just how
this belief arose nobody knows, but it is
certainly widespread, and no amount Of
argument or demonstration can con-
vino 4 g tiyes to the contrary.

A War With England.
IPeck,s Sun.I

If there should ever be a war between England and the United States it would probably be to recover Nellie Grant and her three children from Sartoris, her hus- band. One thing that made the latter end of General Grants life bitter, was the condition of Nellie's domestic affairs. He was opposed to her marrying the young Englishman, but she was gone !" on him, and the general consented and hoped for the best, tho ugh he thought he could see that the young man was gross and brutal in his nature. She was our little American Queen, and no girl was ever loved more by whole ,tion than Nellie Grant was. Before her marriage she was recei !ed in England as the American princess, and she, poor girl, no doubt believed she would always be re- ceived with respect, when she was mar ried and made England her home. But she was disappointed. Married, she was only the wife of son of a well-to do Englishman, her father was no longer president, and all she had to do was to go out on a farm and raise children. From princess she fell, in the estima- tion of English fools, to the level of a brood animal, and her life has had no brightness since she crossed the water
 Her husband seems to have cared no more for her than for one of his Jersey COWS, and her poor little star-spangied American heart has been nearly broken
 When she was summoned home to her fathers death bed she was not allo wed to bring her children. If sine had brought them she would never have gone back. and her keepers knew it too well. The eastern papers are beginning to mention the circumstances of poor Nellie's dark ened life, and it is said she will procure divorce if she can have her little children, and come home to her loved America. If she can not have her children she will very likely remain in England, wife in name, aud die away from home, broken hearted. It seems as though there ought 10 be some way to save that little daughter of this nation and her babies from British oppression. Fred Grant and his brothers could do no one thing that would so endear them to the people of their native land, as to get up on their mettle and rescue their sister Nellie, if il were necessary to punch the everlasting filling out of the man who promised under high heaven to love and honor her. Before another vessel is fitted out to visit the north pole, we want to see one fitted out to rescue Nellie Grant and the little pets. Where is Jim Bennett's yacht, that it is not lying in some haroor on the coast of England, waiting for Nellie Grant and the little ones to come aboard, and sail for America! If Jim Bennett will sail into New York bay some day with Grants daughter and grandchildren on board, we will vote for him for president.
