River News.

The river is still falling slowly,
only about three feet on the guage.
The Ragon is looked for this even
ing from Evansville. The Dover
will meet her here and take part of
her cargo to Nashville.
Tho Rhea will be up on her short
trip from Cairo tonight.
In letter to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives the Secre-
tary of War transmitted a reply to
the request contained in resolution
of that body, of the 9TH inst, asking
for information concerning plan for
improving the navigation of the
mouth of the Cumberland river. The
Secretary cOncurs in the opinion of
the Board Of Engineers, which
examined the locality, and reported
that 1.-the combining to its proper
limits OF the channel at the foot of
the chute must form part of the plan
of improvement demanded by the
joint interest Of the Cumberland and
the Ohio; and such work may be
sufficient for forming and maintain
ing navigable channel at the june
ton of the two rivers"
TO this end the Board of Engineers
recommends the construction of GER
tain contraction and protraction
works at the mouth of the Kentucky
chute, which the report says seems to
have been located with care, and in
such position as to produce the de-
sired result, The chief of engineers
in approving the report of the Board
of Engineers says tSat if the works
recommended should not prove
sufficient, then the rebuilding OF the
Cumberland dam may be resorted to.

DRoPPED DEAD.
Death Of Travers Daniel, who Built the
City Water Works.

The Nashville papers bring the
news that Mr.. Travers Daniel
dropped dead at the new reservoir in
that city on Saturday forenoon at IL
o'clock. Mr.. Daniel was well known
to many of our citizens here, having
built the City Water Works in 1879.
he was one of the best known con-
tractors in the South, and built the
extensive system of water works in
Montgomery, Ala. He had disposed
of his Alabama interests, and was in
Nashville seeking investment. He
had 1915 and a large number of valua-
BILE papers in his possession. His
wife was telegraphed for at Mont
gomery, and his remains were en-
balmed.

Irene Rawes.

A dispatch from Birmingham of
Sunday says: The last victim of the
Halves murder mystery has been
found. The body of pretty little
Irene Halves now lies incased in a
neat coffin in the city cemetery by
the side of its murdered mother and
sister. Thursday the work of. drain
ing the pretty lake at Lake View,
where the body of Mrs Halves was
found, was commenced. The water
was drawn off very slowly, but a
throng of watchmen stood on the
shore day and night. About IL
o'clock the water had all run off ex-
cept that in few deep holes about
the center ofthe lake. To one ofthese
a searching party went with drag
hooks, and a few moments later the
body of the missing child was
brought to the shore. 1t was found
about thirty feet from the point
where the body of the mother was
found just one week ago yesterday.
On the body of the child there were
no marks of violence, but a strong
rope was fastened about its neck and
shoulders, and a piece of railroad iron,
weighing about forty pounds, was
fastened securely to it.

Every day that goes by demon
stratcs the fact that GAINESVILLE needs
a society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals. We have repeatedly no.
ticed instances of WantOn inhumanity
to the poor dumb creatures, that
made our blood boil with indigna-
ton. On Saturday two boys came
down Franklin street driving a poor
old white horse that was badly
crippled. 1t was going as fast MS IT
could, but one boy held the reins and
the other piled big blacksnake
whip. 1t was case of wanton
cruelty.
This morning on the public square
we saw man try to kick a lung out
ola mule because he would not stand
still while unhitched. We could cite
numerous other instances, and it
would be perfectly proper if our hui
namely inclined citizens should take
hold of the matter and organize a So
ciety, and have some member APP
pointed as special policeman to look
after such cases.

A party of church goers from the
country had narrow escape on
Madison street yesterday. Their
team became frightened at something
beside the road, and ram for some
distance. They left the road and
dragged the buggy up over the curb,
in between two trees, and down the
side walk quite ways, but were
finally stopped without any damage
being done. The inmates of the
buggy were terribly shaken up, and
badly scared. 1t was very fortunate
escape.

The Military.

We are pleased to notice that moro
interest is being taken in our State
soldiers, and hope the next Legisla
ture will feel able to make such an
appropriation as will meet the actual
necessities of the case. If Il militia
is a necessity and we presume none
will deny this, then it is also an es-
sential thing to have it made up of
the best material in the state. There
can be no pay to induce membership
from our best young men, but there
can be such encouragement given in
the communities when the compa-
MES are located, as will encourage the
the enlistment Of those in whose
hands this important interest of the
state should be placed.
There is a meeting called in Nash
vile to-day to organize the various
bodies into brigade, and it is
thought Col. Sam Carnes will be the
very wise choice, as their Brigadier
General. The GAINESVILLE City
Guards are unanimous for General
Carncs.

Brisk Rivalry.

The Hopkinsville New Era says /:
"Our merchants and warehousemen
and those of GAINESVILLE are running
a race to capture the trade of Cadiz
and vicinity, and in order to do so
are advertising quite extensively in
the Telephone. This is a good sign,
and the New Era is very much
pleased to see it. The best hustler
always gets the biggest slice of the
pic and the man who does the most
advertising gets the biggest trade.

returns from all the precincts show that
Gen. Harrison carried the city OF Indian
apolis by plurality OF 1856 the vote being
Harrison, 1896 Cleveland, 1870
Blaine carried the city by 625 plurality.
Official returns from Marion county, in
cluding this city. give total vote of 35,-
ll2, against %, ,265 in 1884; Cleveland, H.
5l7; Harrison, l7,l39; Fisk, $780, Strceter,
81, Cleveland's plurality, 3SS, against 226
for Blaine in 1884. It is pretty definitely
settled that Gen. llarrison's plurality in
Indiana will be about $500. The reports
received by the Associated Press and the
Western Union Telegraph Company show
2,226 but 1t is probable some slight
changes will occur when the official re-
turns, rs canvassed by the boards, are
completed by the Secretary OF State. The
official figures on the State will probably
not be known for several DAYS yet, as
only three counties have been received by
the Secretary OF State. Neither Of the
state Committees are receiving returns any
longer, and their knowledge of the result
is therefore based entirely upon the press
reports. The Democrats cOncedc, how
ever that the Republican plurality will be
about $500 The entire Republican State
ticket is elected from Governor down to
Reporter OF the Supreme Court. II was
generally supposed that Gen. lIoyey's vote
would TALL several thousand short OF Gen.
llarrison's, but very full returns thus far
in show that the vote for the Republican
State ticket kept very close to the prcsi-
dental vote; in fact there is scarcely 800
votes difference thus far between Cen

WASHINGTON, Nov. 0.-It now appears
liable that Gen. Harrison will, i'm
sSrdiately upon his induction in office,
call the members of the Fiity-first Con.
gress together. His motive for this will
be to arrange some plan for the reduction
of taxation. There is no reasonable ground
for the belief that any concurrent action
upon the matter will be had at the session
beginning in December next. To wait
until the regular assembling OF the Fifty
first Congress, Which will be Republican
in both branches, would be to postpone
the subject until the session was well
under way. In other words, year and a
half from the present time would neces-
sarily elapse before tariff bill acceptable
TO the Administration could be passed.
Gen. Ilarrison's friends say he will be
unwilling to wait eighteen months before
moving in matter so important, and that
the outlook, therefore, for an extra session
is one which may be classed among the
strong probabilities OF the near future.

UARRIsON's PRIVATE SECRETARY
viii BE Likely 10 lie u. L. Alexander,
OF BuGalO. NY.

WASHINGTON, Nov 9.-lt is believed by
well-informed politicians here that Gen.
Harrison's private secretary will be ID. l..
Alexander, at present resident of Buf-
falo, n. Y. Mr.. Alexander is about
forty-two years OF age He possesses all
OF Col. Dan Lamont's caution and shrcwd-
ness, but is less austere and reserved. Ho
is rather genial man, but he will be
quite rs successful as Col Lamont has
been in guarding the President from the
bores who, if permitted, would occupy his
time TO the exclusion OF moro important
matters.
Mr.. Alexander is both a lawyer and
journalist by profession, He is q native
OF Maine and graduate OF Bowdoin Col
leIe. He served as soldier in the late
war and subsequently removed to Indiana.
lie was for some years the Indianapolis
correspondent OF the old Cincinnati
Gazette, which position he filled in connec-
tion with his legal duties. Through the
influence OF Gen. Harrison and other OF
his Indiana friends Mr.. Alexander
received the appointment OF the
Fifth Auditor of the Treasury Depart
ment under President Garfield. He found
the bureau a veritable circumlocuton Of
flee and he made many improvements in
its work. During his stay in Washington
MIR. Alexander became actively interested
in the affairs Of the Grand Army OF the
Rel ub ic and was subsequently elected
Commander Of the Department OF the Po-.
tomac. When the Democrats obtained
control OF the Government Mr.. Alexander
rendered his resignation as fifth auditor
