A Claim for Damages.

Suit was begun yesterday in the Superior
Court by Francis Smith against DR.. Horace AL
len. He alleges that in 1881 he contracted with
defendant to sell certain lands in northwest
Kansas. for which he was to receive one-third of
the money sales. He claims to have sold to
William Mckenzie and John McCulloch, agents
for the Dundee Investment Company of Scot
land, 100000 acres of these lands AL
len, he alleges, settled with the agents
of the company in 1883. and received from
them, after deducting value of lands in Ken
lucky and Tennessee, sold to the same parties
$38, $50. Smith wants the third of this sum-
$l2, 9l666 together with interest from the LIST of
January, 1884. DR.. Allen says that Smith did
not sell an acre of the land. but on the contrary
failed utterly to do SO, and wrote damaging let
ters to the Scottish company. He alleges that
by this means Smith tried to prevent any sales
being made and Smith, the Doctor says, claims
pay for services he did not render.

TIE FIERY MR.. FAULKNER.
"The Collarless Representative" Has Story
to Tell About His Great Achievements.

Chester r. Faulkner, who. by virtue of one of
the many mistakes of the reform administration,
is now division chief in the Pension Depart
emit of the Cincinnati Enquirer with telling the
following imaginary story about what he did
while q member of the Indiana Senate:
''The metropolitan police bill was under con-
sideration, and Tom Hanna, who was the Lieu
ant-governor, refused to recognize any of the
Democrats, although the Democrats were in the
majority. The Republicans kept indulging in
all sorts of dily-dallying, and we were detained
in our seats until o'clock in the morning. had
said nothing up to that time, but by the hour
mentioned | got pretty mad. Getting up, un-
dertook to address the Chair, but was told / was
out of order. / replied that was not half as
much out of order as the presiding officer was
and added: You have by your actions dis
graced this Senate and the whole State
OF Indiana, and you have turned this
right here that am going to speak my piece
and if any Of those fellows on the other side in
terrupt me or insult me, the one who does it
has got to take licking right here on this floor
or / WILL
my friends crowded around me and offered
me pair of revolvers, but told them 1 did not
need any firearms, and could whip any Repub-
lican In the chamber without a revolver. then
went on and said my say, and the dead lock was
broken. The next day Tom Hanna apologlzed
to me. and told me that whenever thereafter /
rose to my feet he would recognize rne, and the
other boys depended upon me after that to in
troduce their bills If some Democrat in the
Ohio Senate had the sand to go at the dilemma
the way did in Indiana the whole business
would be settled in no time"
If anything like this occurred in the Indiana
Senate Mr.. Faulkner is the only one who has
any recollection of it There is nothing in the
BREWER Legislative Reports to substantiate his
story. About the only distinction that Mr..
Faulkner achieved during the period that he
misrepresented an unfortunate constituency in
the Indiana Senate rested upon kindly allusion
to him by Hon. Jesse j. Spann as the wild ass
from Ripley" to whom he thought it would be
about the proper thing for the Chair ITO throw q
bunch of fodder"

AS the Chinaman was leaving, the reporter

utmost disgust as he made comparison with
our institutions, as he he answered: "No

The colored city school was visited

The Greensboro North State, the lead
ing republican paper of the State, is very
severe upon independent democratic
candidates who while bidding for and
expecting republican votes, refuse to de-
clare their adherence to and sympathy
with the republican party. Suggests that
the self Prospect of republicans would be
maintained by voting for republicans
even though defeated in preference to
voting for such independent democrats.
The State refers to York as such an in
dependent as can only be supported by
democrats, as he gave all the benefit of
his victory and efforts to the republican
party. Have those calling themselves
independent democrats made any satis-
factory pledges to republicans? If they
have can democrats support them? If
they have not can honest republicans
vote for them?

AsHEVIL.LE BY ELECTRIC
LIGHT.
Turned ON At Last.

The CITIZEN was informed that
the electric light would be turned
on Wednesday evening, but the
managers Notwithstanding every
effort could not get things in such
shape as would justify them in do
ing so. After hard struggle, every
thing was made ready, and last
night, about 8 O'Clock, the lights
were turned on, and the square
was flooded with a brilliantcy never
contemplated by onr people. Only
the four towers Wefs lighted, but
these gave light unto nearly every
part Of the city, not bid dden BY dense
shade or the undulation of the earth.
It was q grand sig ght, and the whole
community looked upon it with
