CRoFToN NOTES.

Last Friday the writer in response
to an invitation from friend, con-
cluded TO spend a few days visiting
CrolIon, place noted for its hos
piablc treatment of strangers. Ar
irving at the above named place on
the 3 80 train, was met by that
prince of good fellows, John M. Dulin,
aud entertained at his residence three
miles north of the town in royal style.
Saturday morning in company with
some friends | came to town to assist
in celebrating the GLORIOUS fourth OF
July" Owing to the inclcmency Of the
weather the young people were
denied the pleasure of kicking the
sawdust, and had to content them
selves with walking from the picture
gallery, to the lemonade stand, ane
from there to Crofts hall where
dancing on hard floor was kept up
the most of the evening.
The ball at night was a grand
success in every particular. A large
number Of the leading young ladies
and gentlemen of the surrounding
country were present. Quite num-
Der of young ladies and gentlemen
from Hopkinsville shared with them
the pleasures of the occasion.
Miss Mollie Dulin, one of the most
beautiful and captivating young
ladies Of Hopkins county, is visiting
her cousin Miss Jennie Dulin.
Ohio Anderson and Hanson Dulin,
two of the surveyors on the ii. II g..
route, walked eighteen miles to attend
the ball Saturday night. They returned
to camp Saturday evening.
The Hon. William Henry of your
city attended the ball, and when last
seen by the writer he was sitting at Il
table eating ginger-cakes and
drinking lemonade with the relish of
a kinky headed African on election
day.
Mr.. Bud Long is spending several
days in town.
Sol Fritz, d. G. Wiley and Charlie
lIord were at the bail.
The Hon. James Breathitt, candi-
date for the Legislature, spent Friday
evening and Saturday electioneering
among the people at this place. 1t
was quite disappointment TO great
many Of his friends that he did not
speak. Mr.. Breaihitt as a speaker
is quite popular and is very justly
regarded as one ofthe leading orators
in Christian county.
desire to return my thanks for
cOurtesies shown me by different
friends while among them.

Replacing a Dislocated Neck.

Hartford, July John Fitzger-
aid, the superintendent of the warp
mill in Rockville, was struck by a
falling bale of cotton some days ago,
and his neck was dislOcated. 1t was
thought he would die, but Monday
night DR.. Storrs, of this city, was
called in. He found the man para
lyzed below the head, which could
not be used, He decided to attempt
to reduce the dislocation and for that
purpose etherized the patient. Two
men held his feet and one his head.
DR.. Storrs placed his hand near the
patients chin and pull brought the
dislocated vertebre into place with a
snap that could be heard all over the
room. Fitzgerald could move his
head after the operation. His neck
was built up with heavy bandages
and will be kept in them for some
time. His life hangs on the condi-
ton of the spinal cord, which is in
closed in the spine. The dislocation
pushed one joint by the other, and
the great question is whether the in
closed cord was cut off or so bruised
as TO become useless,
The case is one of extreme rarity
and is of the greatest interest to sur
geons all over the country.

Alarming Epidemic.

What is reported as a disease

many people in Kentucky and
West Virginia last fall, has broken
ont in Lancaster county, South
Carolina, and great alarm is being
manifested by the people over its
ravages. The disease first ap.
peared among the family of Mr.. r.
w. Drallin, five members of his
family, his wife and four children
having died from it. Only Mr.
Drailin and his son survive. The
disease has attacked thirteen peo-

Dralin's farm, and is still spread

somewhat resembling the Asiatic
type, its first appearance being
indicated by a violent attack Of
nausea, when bloody lux and
severe gripings quickly follow.
The pain is intense and the disease
generally causes death within three
days from the time it seizes its
victim. The presence ola disease
Of such an alarming character has
naturally created much excitement
among the people Of Lancaster,
and as that county joins Mechlen-
burg on the south, some appre-
tensions are beginning to be felt
among our own countrymen. Eight

A New Treaty.

It is said that new extradition
treaty between the governments Of
the United States and Canada is
now under negotiation. If so, the
highly respectable and very smart
bank officers who intend apprOpriat-
ing the funds of their depOsitOrs
must get in their work as soon as
possible or they will find it too late.
The new treaty is said to include in
its list of ofenses for which Grim
inal may be returned forgery, en-
bezzlement, larceny, counterfeiting,
obtaining of money under false
pretenses, crimes against bankrupt
cy laws and fraud by bailees, bank
ers, agents factors or directors
of companies who become criminal
by any law for the time being in
force. 1t is claimed that the Do
mlnion Government is getting tir
ed Of furnishing a common refuge
for all the unhung .rascals in
America.
Ii would serve the best interests
OF both governments ifsuch treaty
were entered into. The ease with
which scamps on both sides of the
line can place themselves beyond
the reach of punishment and live
in luxury upon the proceeds of their
rascality is a standing temptation
to every weak or dishonest man in
a place Of trust to play the rascal.
If he was as certain Of capture and
across the border a. at
home he would think twice before
he laid himself liable to sure con-
viction and disgrace. If the Do
minion Government is at all in the
notion of agreeing to such a treaty
the United States should meet it
half way with the utmost prompt
itude.
