LEXINGTON, Oct. GA few weeks
ago dispute arose between the Su-
perintendent and Steward of the East
ern Kentucky Lunatic Asylum. Gov.
Knott, hoping TO restore peace and
tranquility, removed DR.. Chenault,
the Superintendent, and appointed
DR.. +. Ii. Clarke, who Immediately
upon his arrival was confronted with
the same trouble, the order to carry
into effect the wishes of the Board of
Commissioners. lie at once notified
gardener Rodes, who appears to
have been the cause of the trouble,
that he was discharged. He refus-
ing to go until he was notified by the
Steward, was arrested by the Sheriff
as trcspasser upon the grounds, and
promptly gave bond for his appear
ance, with Judge Buckner as surety.
To-day the question was heard before
Judge Sharpe, who decided that the
whole power of appointing and re-
moving the farm employees was vest
ed, by an act Of the Legislature, abso-
lutely in the Steward, free from the
dictation of the Superintendent and
Board. The opinion ofJudge Sharpe
is sustained by the Attorney General.

NOT A SOUL LEFT.
A Log House With Eight ooou-
pants Destroyed by Fire in
Knox County.
Courier Journal

Courier Journal.
WILLIAMSBURG, KY, Oct. 2Sth.-
Eight persons were burned to death
Tuesday night in the residence of
WIN. Poe, near Flat Lick, Knox coun-
ty, which was entirely consumed.
Not living soul of all those in tie
house when it burned was left alive
to tell the story. The fearful details
are about as follows: The house sat in
an open field, a mile from any other
residence, and the fire wasn't discov-
cred until yesterday morning, after
the house had burned with its i'll
mates. Those who lost their lives
were: Mrs. Poe, aged about thirty
two years, and five children, the eld-
est nine years old and the youngest
fifteen months. Mary earns and
Lizzie Adams, aged sixteen and
twelve respectively. The house--a
log one-was built about five years
ago, was one and half stories high,
with an entrance at one door. 1t WAS
composed of two rooms, one of which
was used by the family as kitchen,
where it is supposed the fire origina-
ted. The family had all retired to
the other room, and, shutting the
door, had gone to sleep, only to be
awakened by the falling timbers,
when ii too late TO help themselves.
From the position of the remains af-
ter the fire had died out, it seems
that one had reached the door and
fallen back. Near where the window
had stood the body of the mother
was found, by her side her helpless
children, while the babe lay just
across her breast. Remnants of bed
clothing encircled all, indicating that
the mother had fought the flames
bravely in vain efforts to save the
lives of herself and children. Moth
ing was found Of any of the bod
les except a few bones and ashes.
These were carefully placed in box
and brought to this place and interr-
ed, vast crowd of people being pres
ent at the funeral ceremonies. All
were buried in one grave.
William Poe, the terribly afflicted
father, who is so suddenly left alone
in the world, is almost crazed with
grief over the occurrence. He is pro-
badly the best known man on the
river connected with the log business
He is about sixty-tlve years old. Bus
mess has not prospered with hiurfor
some years past, and he was com.
PEELED TO retire from more comforta-
BILE home and seek shelter for his
family where best ii could be found
until drawn to this lonely spot, where
scarcely ever any one passed. Here
the family was left while the hus,
band and father went in search of 8
support for them, and at the time Of
their death was at his log camp Oh
Stony Fork of Straight creek, about
five miles distant. The scene after
the fire was heart rending. Mr.. Pot
having been informed and arriving
early, went about wringing his hands
and uttering the most piteous moan'
willie those standing around freely
wept with the afflicted man in his
| terrible misfortune,

GOVERNOR Hill, at Democratic club
dinner in Boston the other day, congratu-
lated his entertainers upon the fact that
Massachusetts was the birthplace OF
Grover Cleveland. 1t had previously
been generally supposed that our Presi-
dent first saw the light OF day in New Jer-
sey, and the American mind will be
greatly relieved by the New York Gov
ernor's assurance that Grover is native
of the United States. Governor Hill,
upon the same occasion, uttered senti-
ment which will meet with hearty
response from the Democratic party
throughout the country. He said: 81
am utterly opposed TO any policy or
scheme which prevents any Administra-
ton from recognizing faithful party SER
vice in the distribution OF important
offices OF the Government. | am not in
favor OF mere sentimental appointments"
He was vociferously cheered.

THE FREE WHISKY PARTY.

Judge Kelley, the champion OF the
Pennsylvania monopolists on the floor Of
the House, last week proclaimed that he
has demanded since the close OF the war
that The internal taxes should be re-
pealed." These are collected wholly
from spirits, beer and tobacco-articles
properly classed as vices or useless in
dulgences. These taxes anyone may
abolish for himself at any time by refrain
ing from the use OF the article taxed.
Not so with the war taxes which the Re-
publican Protectionists seek TO perpetu-
ate. Every family must use sugar, salt,
hemp, cottons, iron, lumber, glass,
crockery and other dutiable imports,
upon which the consumer has to pay an
average of nearly 80 per cent. in taxes.
The Democracy would lower the duties
upon these articles OF universal every
day use from the war rates, but the Re-
publican party say: "No, we will have
free whisky, free beer and free tobacco
instead,n
