The Taylor Brothers Angry.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, September o.
Bob and Alf Taylor. the Democrat and
Republican nominees, respectively. Tor
the Govelnorship. have had their first
difference. The reception given Bob in
the Democratic County Of Williamson
was in marked contrast with the reccp-
ton rendered Alf. and made line of
separation between the brothers which
perhaps was widcncd BY their speeches.
In the course Of the discussion the first
exhibition Of passion was made during
the canvass. 1t was altcrward much
regretted by both of the brothers and
their friends. When Bob likcncd Alf to
a tomtit Which had Lrvn riding OH Tic
back OF the Republican party. which
was referred TO under the similitude of an
eagle. Illf showed little temper. Bob
also SAID that the only reputable thing
in Alt's political career was when he
once voted for a Democrat. ALI retort-
ed that only once had he voted fora
Democrat IN preference to Republican,
that was wheiI he voted for his brother
on personal grounds, and it was in very
bad taste as well as a breach Of conf
dcncc for that brother to refer to that
fact for the purpose ofiniuring his (Al's)
political prospects. Alf also said that
had Bob been nominated first he would
not have accepted the nomination OF the
Republican party. Bob kept his temper
much better than his brother and did
not afterward severely retort. Both
very much regretted that any harsh
words had been said, and are now as
fratcrnal and courteous as ever: aud re-
solved to refrain from any personalities
hereafter.

The small settlement Of Rockville had Il
sensation last night in the village store.
when Frank Rali. aged eighteen. sud-
denly dropped dead. lie was known far
and wide as a yong man who on sever
al occasions had eaten various articles
quickly on WAGER. Some one in the
company Of Young men challegcd him to
cat q plate of ice cream on time. If he
succeeded in swallow :" the plate of
frozen cream in one and half minutes
he was not to pay fot it. The cream
was brought out and the crowd stood
around watching the feat. In less than
the stipulated time the ice cream had
disappeared and the young man thought
he could still further lower his record.
1t was noticed that he looked daZcd Just
after the cream had been swallowed.
Thru lie offered TO wager that lie could
cat three large ginger cakes il a minute
and half. This was promptly taken
and the cakes brought on. The gour-
mand squared himself and began eating
and swallowing. Two cakes quickly
disappeared and the the third was nearly
disposed of when the eater suddenly
stopped. his eyes closed. hands dropped
To- his side and he fell to the store floor
stone dead. His body wHS carried home
from where he had come hut q half hour
before in the best Ol health.
