louisville Tobacco Market.
[By Glover L Durrett.


Sales on our market for the week
Just closed amounted to 2,45S hhds.
with receipts for the same period of
l,709 hhds. Sales since Jan. lat
amount to 1902 hhds. The market
this week has showed an increased
activity on dark tobacco and especial
ly is this so of Tugs which have ad-
vanced about SOC per 100 in the past
ten days. The recent cold spell has
cut off receipts of the new crop, and
the offerings of the week have been
mainly confined to odd tobacco. The
following quotations fairly represent
our market for dark tobacco:

The slseping.car.

While we have heard much in re
cent years of the regulation of rail
roads by legislation or by commission
no suggestion has been made for reg
ulating the sleeping.car 1t certain
ly needs regulating, 1t furnishes
poorer accommodation for the money
paid than any other common carrier
1t is built more for show than con
venience. Next TO row of cell il
some abandoned penitentiary, the
sleeping-car arranged for its victims
is the most uninviting sleeping apart
ment one can imagine. The heavy
stuffy curtains: the atmosphere
which is stiflihg one hour and chilly
the next; the lamps where they ought
not to be, and darkness where the
lamps ought TO be; dust, smoke, Gin.
ders and general discomfort-this is
faint picture of the modern sleep
ing-car. 1t is ornamented ornately
it is gilded, carved and vanished
as though it were a perambulating
bar-room, but it is not neat, nice,
comfortable, nor convenient, and it is
no better in essentials than it was
ten years ago.
We should have a radical depar-
ture first in the construction of our
sleeping-cars next in the control of
them, and next in the management.
The rules which passengers are ex-
pected to obey are all made by the
company without consulting with its
patrons. The charges are higher
than tirst-class hotel rates, and, in
addition, the passengers are expected
TO pay the salary of the porter. The
berths are arranged so as to give the
passenger the least space and comfort
consistent with his continued exist
ence. The morning additions are
performed under tho most discour-
ageing circumstances, and the man
who passes through them and lives
is to be congratulated.
A year or two ago a new model
sleeping-car was sent on its rounds
for the inspection of the public. 1t
was lighter, less costly, more COM
modious, more convenient, and more
careful of the privacy of the passen-
gers than those now in use, but with
most of the railroads the old COM
pany had an iron-clad, longtime
and the public was. .ais- I
out. 80 a., tho front with a
ercmptory, order which will add
omewhat to the comfort of the trav-
ling public. This order forblds the
,wering of the upper berth until it
as an occupant. AT present both
erlhs are "made up" when the low
+ one is sold. 1t is done TO incon-
'enience the holder ofthe lower berth
nd to compel him to purchase the |
ntire section. Perhaps now that the
eform of the sleeping-car has begun,
t may continue until there is
evolution in night traveling.-Cour-
er-Journal.
There is one thing in particular
hat is a drawback to the travelling
,ublic, aud that is the rates charged
IN sleepers. If the price were re-
luced to Sl00 a night for a berth,
he sleepers would be better filled,
md the passenger get something
lear the worth of his money. Pas
enger rates continue to come down,
nd why not sleeping-car rates. AS
much is charged for an alleged nights
est on sleeper as will pay for a
lays board at first-class hotel. Let
here be a change.

Washington's Republican Row.

The Republicans of the District OF
Columbia held mass meeting Tues
day 10 choose delegates to the Nation
al Convention, which meets in Chi
cage. The meeting was held at Will
lard Hall and met at 10 o'clock. I'M
mediately the scene became one OF
wrangling and dissatisfaction, and as
time moved ON enthusiasm warmed
up, until regular knock down and
drag out time was the order of the
procedure. The colorcd statesmen
were arrayed against each other in a
struggle for supremacy.
There was great many very
reputable white Republicans in the
convention, and about an equal di-
vision of the Blaine and Sherman in
terests, The first fight In the morn
ing was on the question of selecting
presiding officer. This was follow
ed by genuine encounter, some ten
or fifteen of the members indulging
in the pleasant pastime Of humping
one another over the head with slung
shots and brass knuckles. Noses
were flattened out, eyes swollen until
tightly shut, blood was running free
ly, and a dozen or more were laying
PROSTATE upon the floor, the result of
having been kicked in their stomachs
by the Infatuated mob.
The proprietor of the hall came
upon the bloody ground and attempt
ed TO restore order but was promptly
thrown into the street. Frederick
Douglass appeared upon the scene.
He, too, tried his hand at restoring
ORDER but 1t was futile attempt.
The old man was rashly treated. He
was crowded, crushed and trod upon.
A squad of police was sent for and
gained entrance to the hall by batter
ing the hall door in with an ak and
after desperate struggle and the free
use Of the billy, partial quiet was re-
stored. The convention broke up
without selecting any delegates but
not without placing on record the
most boisterous and disgraceful meet
ing ever hold by the G. .. z.

Accidentally Shot Himself.

LAWRENCE, Kas., May 19.-William
H. Sears, Sioux Indian student at
Haskell Institute, while carelessly
handling revolver this morning, acct
dentally discharged it, the ball enter
ing his head just above the left eye,
producing instant death. The de-
ceased was about Is years old. He
came to Haskell last September, and
always conducted himself in a proper
manner, and was, apparently, always
contented. About a week ago he began
to room with Dudley Shawnee, one of
the pupils. Shawnee had in his posses
sion 32-caliber revolver, which he had
purchased in this city about two weeks
ago. The boys were accustomed on
Sundays to go into the country and
amuse themselves by firing it. Dudley
Shawnee testified that on retiring last
evening he had taken the pistol from
his satchel, where he usually kept it.
and placed it under his pillow. This
morning he arose and was in the closet
dressing when he heard discharge OF
the pistol, and coming out he found
his roommate, Sears, lying on the
floor near his bead with the fatal toy
in his left hand. A coroner'S jury
found that the shooting was accident
ally done by the deceased.

Pardonad on Condition.

TOPEKA, May ga pardon has
been issued by Governor Martin to
Charles B. Rotrock of Ottawa county,
who killed his wife a number of years
ago while under the influence of liquor.
a peculiar feature of the pardon is the
fact that the governors issue is upon
condition that RotrOck will forever alb
stain from the use of Intoxicating
liquor. Such a condition has never
been imposed in pardon issued by a
governor of this state. The supreme
court of Iowa has held that a governor
may impose any condition he chooses
in granting a pardon, and that in case
the condition is violated the pardoned
man may be arrested on an order of
the governor and be made to serve the
balance of his penalty. Attorney Gen
eral Bradford has advised the governor
that such condition as imposed in
ROtrock's pardon would be sustained
by the courts.

Further Particulars.

Willie Rees returned from Kansas
City Tuesday evening, where he went
to learn some facts in connection with
the Cupp case. Cupp claimed that he was
in Kansas City at the time the mortgage
and other papers were signed in Flor
ence. The hotel register showed that
he was registered the 3rd of May and
an SIP for lodging was placed to the
right. But no room was assigned and
the name had not been checked, show
ing that no lodging had been paid
for. He was registered again on the
4th in the afternoon, and again on
the 5th, and the meals and lodging
were checked as paid. The acknowl-
edgment and mortgage coupons were
signed in Florence about O'Clock the
morning of the 4th. The prosecution
claim that Cupp could have registered
at the hotel the 3rd, left in the morn
ing for Florence, signed the papers and
got back to Kansas City in the after
noon of the 4th.
The case has been turned over to the
county authorities and will not come UT
