Mr.. Jasper Macy, was burned to
death at its fathers residence, st.

this sad bereavement took place are
as follows: The mother needing some
cooking ulinsi went over to her
brother Georges to borrow the same..-
the distance being not over bun dred
yards-leaving the little girl and an
infant alone in the house. In the
absence of the mother the child crawl
ed up stairs and got hold of a box of
parlor matches, setting herself and a
sheet hanging out of the window on
FIRE. 1t managed to get down stairs

the floor until discovered A boy
who was working near by seeing the
fire (for the house in The meantime

The parents fastening to the house

to crisp where it had fallen. 1t

then, took its flight to Him who said !:
"Suffer little children to come unto
ME, for of such is the kingdom of
heaven"
This is the second warning parents

The above is from the Dickson Press.
Several new iron furnaces have recently
been built south OF Dickson, and the
country is developing wonderfully on
account OF the building Of narrow
guage railroad for about fifty miles in
that direction.
All OF this suggests the immense pos
sibillties that are in store for Carksvllle
if the long dreamed OF through railroad
from Evansville to Birmingham can be
built. There has been much talk and
speculation as to what would be the re-
suits OF connecting the Kentucky coal
fields with the immense beds Of iron
ore TO the south OF us, and the building
and success OF these charcoal furnaces is

TIE session Of the Kentucky Legisla-
ture now being held at Fran kfort, is in
a great degree suggestive of the last
Tennessee Legislature that assembled at
Nashville. That is, the course Of legis
lation in the two bodies has been quite
similar. The last Tennessee Lcgisla-
ture was troubled about the State CON
yicts, and the Kentucky Assembly is in
the same fix, only a little more so. Then
too, they have pleuro-pneumonia bill
in the Kentucky Legislature one to
make certain species OF gambling a
felony, and other, measures, all of
which are very much like what was
talked about at Nashville one year ago.

tire won't break up in tillibustering
row and npcessitate an extra session,

THE Courier-Journal proposes the
same solution to the convict difficulty
which Judge Frank Reid advocated
when candidate for Governor OF Ten
nessce. In the course OF II long editori-
al ON the subject, the Courler-Jou
says: The able-boded male convicts of
the State might all be employed with
great advantage to the States present
and future Interests and with relatively
excellent results to their own welfare (1)
by putting the whole number, properly
divided up ut work upon the construc-
ton OF tnrnpikes and bridges III all parts

road-bed OF three or four distinct rail
roads into the heart Of the iron and coal

You know that no one has accused any
OF the prominent Democrats who hol !
the Pan Electric stock of corrupt col-

their enemies have dared impute to
them.
All that can be urged against them is
that they came by the stock without
giving money consideration therefor,
and that some chance might have arisen
for them to have used their votes in Con-

MoRRlSoN'S NEW BILL.

Inasmuch as Mr.. Morrison new
tariff bill proposes a REIMBURSEMENT OF
specific duties, and is not soawfully hor-
izontal it is decided improvement OF
the one he brought in last Congress.
The bill will, no doubt, receive the
unanimous support of the Democrats,
and deserves to, but there is one partic-
ular in when we should like to see it
amended if the meager report given OF
it are correct.
1t is said that the bill provides for
placing lumber on the free list. This
looks too much like blow at Southern
industry. Now that the lumber fields
OF Michigan and other regions in the
North are practically exhausted South
ern lumber is beginning to attract at
tention and prove profitable business
te taose who deal in it. II the tariff is
removed from lumber, the vast pine
forests OF British America will be looked
to for supply and the Souths lumber
trade cut short.
However the tariff be revised, it
should be done fairly IN the interest OF
all sections.

THE PAN ELECTRIC.

There is one phaze OF the Pan Elec-
trio Telephone matter that must force
ably present Itself TO every inquring
mind and that is the latcness Of It's pres
entation to the public. Why has the
yirtuous New York press just now dis
covered that it is a great political scan
dal?
The circumstance so much agitated
at present took place two years ago, and
was as easy to come Mt then as now.
There was in fact never any conceal
ment about the matter and all the par
tculars could have been ascertained a
long while previous to this
Senator Garland's connection with
the Pan Electric was known long
time before he was appointed TO a
position in the cabinet, yet the same
newspapers that are now barking at his
heels, commended the appointment
To speak the plain truth, the hand of
the Bell Telephone Company is apparent
in this agitation, and it is evident that
the hue and cry has proceeded from its
instigation It was not until this mon
ster monopoly was touched that the
dreadful revelations concerning the
Pan Electric were made.
A blind man can see the cause the
OF all this agitation and none OF the par
ties implicated are going to suffer from
the attempted calumny.
