Twenty or thirty COWS have died Of
what is supposed to be hydrophobia
in Ballard County, Kentucky, and
many more are dying. The diseased
cattle suddenly become frantic, below
with pain and fright each other.
Men on horse back have been chased
by them. The cattle die in spasms
and frothing at the mouth within
twenty-four hours after being taken
sick. Two dogs, supposed to be mad,
were killed few weeks ago near
Hinkleville, and it is thought they
may have spread the disease.

by an anti-prohibitionist. The details
Of the affair have been suppressed by
the press Of that place, hut were yes
terday learned by an American r7>
porter from a gentleman living IN
Union City, friend of Mr.. Mellow
ell, who gave the following version OF
the affair
The Senator has long been a lead"
ing advocate of prohibition, and Is
now a candidate for the Senate on
that platform The canvass is grow
ing hot. 1t is said that man named
Furgason, living twenty-four miles
from Union City, in Obion county,
circulated report on Mcdowell that
about three years ago, when he was
having some land surveyed near FurN
gasan, that Mcdowell furnished a
bottle of whisky and drank with Fur
gasOn several times during the day,
he being one of the chain carriers.
In disproval of this report, Mr.. A.
j. Stanfeld, the County Surveyor,
came to Union City and told DR..
Goodwin and others that whisky was,
in fact, drank On the day referred to,
but that Furgason furnished it, and
that Mcdowell refused to drink any

INDUCING Senator Mcdowell, learn
ing that James Owenby, citizen of
Union City, was also circulating the
report he with Mr.. Stanfeld went to
see Owenby at his shop. MIR.
Stanfeld repeated his statc>
ment, which, Owenby did not seem
to believe, but rather inclined to the
Furgason rumor. Owenby then com
menced to criticise Mr.. Mcdowell
and finally grew insulting. AT this
the Senator turned to leave the place,
saying that he did not desire to have
a fuss. AS the Senator turned to-
wards the door Owenby struck him
on the right front side of the head
with an iron cog-wheel, knocking him
senseless. Two cogs went through the
stiff hat which the Senator wore and
cut two gashes about an inch long
just above the right temple, fractur.
ing the skull. The Senator fell as if
dead and lay senseless for several
minutes. 1t is said that Owenby was
only prevented from jumping on the
PROSTATE man by the formers broth
er or father. After this Owenby went
home and got his pistol and returned.
Coming back he met the wounde1
man aud bitterly cursed him. The
Senator told 0wenby that he was un'
armed and proposed that he go to the
front of the formers house where he
could get pistol and the two would
there shoot it out. This Owenoy re-

For three days Senator McDowell's
life was despaired Of, and though dan
ger of brain fever has by no means
passed, yet hopes of his recovery are
entertained. Intense excitement was
created by the assault. 1T is said
that Owenby has carried his gun tc

occurred. Senator Mcdowell is
known to be a fearless man, and some
think that the matter is not at an end

The Cotton Pr spect.

Mobile, Ala, July 4.-The condi,
ton of the cotton crop east Of this in
Mississippi is exciting general alarm.
The season began with excessive rains
and floods in March, and most of the
crop had to b. replanted. Excessive
rains from May II to 20 were followed
by a very wet June and thirty days
rain in the Atlanta district, twenty
seven in the Memphis, thirty in the
Vicksburg, and twen,y>eight in the
Mobile. Heavy rains in May, fol
lowed by continuous rains in June,
have prevented cultivation. The year
resembles 1871, when cultivation, as
now, was impossible, the result being
an unhealthy, shallow-looted plant,
encountered with grass and weeds
Though July and August OF that
year were comparatively dry the crop
was 100000 bales short of the pre-
vious year. Drought usually follows
periods of rain The plant has put
% no fruit, is in no condition to do so,
and with drouth the crop will neces,
sarily be small. No boil worms or
caterpillars as yet have appeared, but
the crop is about 10 per cent worse
than at this date in 1888, 1884 and
1885, all poor yielding years. The
Mississippi district will probably make
a full crOp.

Blount County Citizen: Houk's
straddling dodge on the submission
question was supplemented with re-
mark by another East tennessee SUBJ
boss, who said "What do we care
what HOuk's resolution means? This
id thing won't carry at the polls
any way and we may be able to rope
in few cranky Democratic Prohibi-
tionists." 1t thus further appears
that the republicans are not actuated
by honest motive, but they use a great
question of reform solely to advance
their own interests and pretend to be
on both sides of it.
The Comet: We are glad to hear
that Hon. Jno. Allison and Hon. r.
L. Taylor have recOnciled their diff
ferences, and will not antagonize each
other in the contest for Governor,
While both gentlemen will probably

understanding among their friends
that they will unite on the one devel-

him. 1t is about a settled fact that
Jno. Allison or Bob Taylor will be
the next Governor of Tennessee.
This paper could enthusiastically sup
port either of these gentlemen.
Some of the East Tennessee papers
are advocating changein the time
of holding the gubernatorial conven-

quoted from the executive records of
the Senate to show that the Sem

of Mr.. Cleveland's nominations than

not so intend it, he was paying the
strongest kind of tribute to Mr.. Cleve.

so few of Mr.. Clevela Id's nominations

LITERARY NOTES.
THE CENTURY DICTIONARY.

THE CENTURY DICTIONARY
For the past FIVE years The Century
Go. has been engaged in preparing a die
tionary OF the English language, of which
Professor William D. Whitney, of Yale
College, is editor-in- -chief, the purpose
being to make more comprehensive
work than has yet appeared in popular
form, to include, in addition to very
full collection of individual words in all
departments of the language, all techni-
cal phrases, net self explaining, in law,
the mechanical arts, the sciences, etc.
Indeed, it is designed to make this die
tionary so complete in its definitions of all
branches of science and art that even the
specialist will need nothing further. The
number of "new'' words in many of
these departments is said to be surprising
ly great. The dictionary will have also
remarkably complete system of cross
references, and will embody in itself
dictionary of synonyms which will add
greatly to its value.
A prominent feature of the new work
will be its encyclopedia character. Its
definitions will be fuller and more com.
plete than is customary in works of this
kind; it will go further into the various
uses and meanings of wor0s, and in many
cases will give full explanations and de-
scriptions of matters historical, scientific,
mechanical, etc.
The publishers are taking great pains
with the illustrations, of which there will
be about 5000. They are employing the
same class of artists and engravers that
contribute to their magazines, and they
mean to make the result something
hitherto unknown to the world of die
tionaries.
The inception of this scheme was
desire to improve and Americanize the
Imperial Dictionary of Great Britain,
brought out in this country by The Cen
tury Co. five years ago. AS the work of
altering it advanced, it became apparent
that better plan was to begin de nouo,
and SO the far greater work of making a
new dictionary of the English language
was begun. Two or three years must still
elapse before it will appear, and in the
mean time opportunity is offered by the
publishers to those interested in helping
on so useful work to contribute material
and suggestions to it. Much valuable
matter has been received in this way from
many scholars and practical men all over
the world.
1t is estimated that upwards of quar-
ter of a million of dollars will be spent
upon The Century Dictionary before it is
ready for publication. The work of type
setting and printing will be done by the
DeVinne Press, in the new building into
which they have recently moved.
