THE BOY WITH THE SLING.
A Reigning Nuisance that Ought to be
Abated at Once.


Abated at Once.
The boy with sling is getting to be an
intolerable nuisance in this city and very
dangerous one. The authorities should lay
their hands upon him 50 emphatically as to
squelch him. With his sling and his leaden
bullets he promises to put an end to some
body's life, if he is not checked.
Yesterday morning this boy, with a
sling, drove bullet of lead through a win
dow of the residence of Mr.. j. D. Weed
1t cut a clean hole through the pane of
glass, and struck the opposite wall. Its
force was such that it smashed the portion
of the glass which it cut out of the pane
into fine powder, which was scattered over
the room, The bullet itself was flattened
by the force of the blow against the pane.
Mr.. Weeds little child was in the
room into which the missile entered,
and only a little way out of the danger of
it, Had she been struck she would have UNI
doubtedly been seriously hurt. The city
has had enough of the boy with the sling.
The authorities should look after him and
make him understand that he is a nuisance
that won't be tolerated.

provement ON the present railroad COM

vides for the appointment of three as
SCISSORS, whose sole duty it will be to as
sess the property of the railroad compa-
MES and from whose decision there is to
be no appeal. Extortion and discrimi-
nation are defined and heavy penalties
imposed against them, the prosecution to
be in the name of the Commonwealth
and to he conducted by her attorney. In
a word, the bill more effectually than
anything yet devised protects the inter
ests of the shipper and the communities
affected by railroad transportation, as
the resort il to the courts and not an
appeal to a commission, which has prov
ed a worthless luxury. II the legisla-
ture is not entirely given over to the

Gov. Buckner's 9th veto was of the
bill making the Mayor of Louisville ELI
gible for reelection. He bases it on that
clause of the city ordinance providing
that all amendments to the ordinance
shall be submitted to a vote of the PEG.
pie and on the further fact that eligible
ity for reelection places too much pow
or in the hands of man rs the chief
executive OF a city.
Gov. Buckner has vetoed the "act to
repeal an act entitled an act to amend
the charter of the Danville 4 Huston
vile Turnpike" because it impars con-
tract made between the State and COM
pany that if the latter built bridge and
kept it in repair an additional toll-gate
might he put on the road. The compa-
nv has built substantial iron bridge
over Knob Lick creek at cost of 81, 100.
The act authorizing il was a contract be-
tween the State and the company, and
the latter having complied with the
terms imposed, the state cannot, in good
faith, recede from its own proposition.

4 WOMAN at Bowling Green, bcdrid-

her healing supposed to be at the point
OF death, declared that the church bells
seemed to say, s'Mrs. Cassidy, arise and

ceremony and taking up her bed walked
all about shouting that the Lord had
made her whole. People who believe
that the days OF miracles are past won't
take much stock in this story, which
comes pretty straight, but will say that
the old lady simply imagined herself
