OF the Zingaris, executed by fifty ladies and
gentlemen, dressed in costumes as beauti-
full as they were correct The rendering of
an aria by the queen was rewarded by
thunders Of applause. DR.. Timme, as Rip
Van Wiukle "a perfect copy of Joe Jeffer-
sony, and Mr. Boehme, as BaVarian nurse
maid, deserved medals for their excellent
representations. Nearly all the wealth and
fashion of Hoboken was present, and the
costumes were magnificent beyond any
thing ever before seen in this State.
1t would be eminently unfair if the Leg
ishtive Committee appointed to inyesti-
gate the affairs of the State Prison would
take no further testimony but confne
themselves to that already taken by the
Beard of State Prison Inspectors. That
was supposed to be a secret investigation,
begun at the request of MIR. Laverty, and
'conf2ed to one special charge. Whether
by design or accident only such witnesses
were examined in the main rs would be
likely to give damaging testimony against
the Keeper. and no attempt was made to
verify this statement against the Keeper
by a cross examination. Tie fact that
the maj rity of the Board went to
the Jail OF another State to take the tes-
timony of professional thief and self
confessed harlot against Mr.. L4verty, al
though they must have known that she had
been out of our prison for over ten
months, and that her testimony could
therefore not be pertinent to the case. as
also the fact that the testimony taken be-
fore the Inspectors at the expense of the
State was furnished Minnie Schaefer's law
yer to be used AGAINST the State in her de-
fence, proves cenclusively that that nice
sense of discrimination was not employ cd
by the Board which the imp ortance Of the
case demanded. It would be manifestly
unjust if the conclusions Of the Legislative
Conn ittee were based solely upon the in
formal and unjudicial Investigation OF that
Board, which the Inspectors themselves
declare TO be incomplete, and to which
they attached so little Importance that they
did not even furnish Governor Albeit with
stenograpbic report, although there were
a large number Of written-out copies. Be-

Situation at Nanticoks.

WIKEsBARRE, PA, March 5.-The
situation at Nanticoke is becoming
critical. Last week the officers of
the Susquehanna Coal Company re-
solved to abandon the work of rescue
and to leave forever entombed the
twenty-six men and boys who met
their death at No. / slope on Dec. 8
last. Against this decision the min
ers of Wyoming valley rebclled, and
in order to give expression to their
feelings about 800 of them from
Nanticokc, Ashley, Wilkesbarre and
other places, held meeting at Nam
ticoke last night. 1t was finally de-
cided to send a committee to Super
intendent Morgan to-day and de-
mand that the work of rescue be con-
tinued. A resolution was offered
that all miners and laborers in the
employ of the company stop work
and refuse to enter the mines unit
the work of recovering the bodies il
recommended, and was adopted with
out q murmer of dissent.

Representative Thomas, of Mullen

again came to the front as fighter
last Thursday. Thomas was speak
ing about local bills and made some
remark that was taken as reflection
upon the Louisville members by Mr..

son went to him and asked if the re-
marks referred to him. Thomas re-
piled, "If the shoe fits you, wear it."
The whispered conversation ended
by Jackson's inviting Thomas to 60
outside and settle it. Thomas de-
clined to do so, but said he would see
jackson after the session adjourned.
While Jackson was outside Scott,
another Louisville member, went to
Thomas and told him If he would go
outside the House he would knock
him down. Jackson returned to his
seat and in about twenty minutes
Thomas left the House and in about
fifteen minutes more returned and

Mr.. Chas. S. Walker returned to the

friends Wednesday that he had with
drawn from the race for Judge of the
Court of Appeals. Mr.. Walker COM

nearly every part of the district. In
the outset he was an entire stranger
in many counties, and was known
only by reputation in others. lie

RIDGE TOP, TENN.
March 5, 1886.

Marcn D, 1850.
To THE SOUTH KENTUCKIAN:
Seeing a correspondent from very
nearly all the stations on the line of the
Henderson division of the L. &c N. r.
r 1 thought l would try and get up
an article that would be of some in
terest. The location of Ridge Top is
probably not known to many of your
readers. 1t is located 10 miles from
Nashville on the Henderson division
of the L. Sc N. r. r., and is said to
be 1888 feet higher than Nashville.
Those figures were given to me by
three different parties who were TAX
ing the height of observation between
this point and the city of Rocks, and
l have no reason to doubt it. The &C.
centricity of this point among the EN-
ployes of the railroad is the heavy
grade between here and Bakers Sta
ton, two miles south. The grade is
only two miles long with 2l4 feet per
mile, which is a source of annoyance
and delay to all trains going in either
direction. The railroad company
keeps two helping engines at the foot
of this grade to assist trains up and
down the hill. They have employed
on the hill one man known as thu
hill conductor, two brakemen, two
engineers and two firemen, all good
men who have been here long time
The original method ofhelping train
up this grade was established year,
ago, and was very safe method the.
would take as many cars as all tn
engines could ascend the grade with
putting the pushers as they are term
ed, III behind the train or portion Q
train, as the case might be, thus max
ing 1t safe in case they should becom
detached. This method has been tn
order of assisting trains over thi
grade for the past fifteen years with
out any serious accident.
The above method has been discon
tinued by the order of the Generi
Manager. All the engines are no.
attached to the front part of the trail
leaving the rear portion swingin
back ON the grade behind to the me
cy of any accident that may happe

THE STATE BANKRUPT.
The State Auditor Returns the Per
Diem Drafts Of the Members Of
the Legislature Unpaid
A Bombshell for the
Solons.

The Frankfort correspondent of the
Louisville Post sends the following
sad news to his paper: The startling
rumor has just been given wings that
the Auditor had refused to pay the
per diem of the Legislators, and the
said calamity has cast gloom over
the entire community Of statesmen,
boarding-houses and poker-rooms. A
number of members have had their
orders on the Auditor returned to
them, with the capitalization that there
is no money in the Treasury.
Auditor Hewitt said, in answer to
my breathlcss inquiry if the exciting
rumor was true:
eyes, it is true. The expenditure
fund is completely exhausted, and ]
have been forced to return the orders
for their per diem made on me by sew
eral members, There is about 500,
1000 of the school fund in the Treas
ury, and l am constantly receiving
drafts on that, and there will not b
more of it than will meet the de
mands, and of course it can not b
used TO pay any other State indebt
, cdness. l can not do anything unit
. returns are made from the assessor
and sherifls, and that will not lie cal
lier than April l."
= This is the heaviest blow yet dea
+ the Legislature. Many of the haysee
8 statesmen draw their money evei
p two or three days, and the idea of IL,
a getting it at all will be the only thin
: that will drive them home. You CT
g look for an early adjournment no'
g Legislatively speaking, there " not
G ing more to live for.
Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1886-03-09

The auditor has notified the mem
bers of the Legislature, that there is
no money in the State Treasury to
pay their per diem. And yet the
session still continues beyond the
constitutional limit at an expense Of
$1,000 day. If the solons will just
devise some means to raise money
for State purposes and then adjourn
at once, all will be forgiven by the
people.
