A special dispatch 10 the Knoxville
Journal from Morristown says; THE case
of Charles l.. n. Reade came up in the
circuit court here this morning, in which
he was charged with embezzling some
s., 1900 of the Southern Express Compa-
ny's money in the spring of 1885. Reade's
counsel stated that defendant was ready
to submieto the charge and asked for the
leniency Of the court. The court. after
mature elaboration, decided to fix
Reade's punishment at five years in the
%penitentiary and adjudged a fine against
him of about $3.50. The sentence fell
like a thunderbolt upon Reade and his
friends, they thinking that there would
be but little trouble in getting a favora
BILE compromise. Mrs. Reade arrived here
this afternoon, from Knoxville, and is
spending a last few days with her hus-
band before he is taken away to serve out
his sentence"

the fence takes a notion to step down a
few rods and scatter itself along the

Is hard on sinners.
