The 0. V. Crisis.

The stockholders of the 0. V. Rail-
road held meeting in Henderson
Wednesday, and it is thought the
destiny Of the road was then and
there settled. Some of the knowing
ones says the Company has perfected
all necessary arrangements and will
push its lines south in short time.
Six months yet remain for the road
to reach Hopkinsville, and the engin-
GERS say that the line from Princeton
here can be built in four months cas-
lily. We may expect to hear the re-
suit of the stock holders meeting in a
few days. A special from IIender-
son, Wednesday, says: "The stock
holders of the OHIO Valley Railway
Company held very important
meeting here to-day. 1t was decided
TO extend the road into Evansville by
an independent line. Propositions
to points southwark from Princeton
were ordered to be submitted. The
Board adjourned 10 meet in New
York June u to complete arrange
ments,"

Malicious Prosecution.

1t will be remembered that last
April George Nance, COL, was az
rested charged with having commit
ted rape on the person of Matte
Bell, an eleven year old colored girl,
near Newstead, on the 10Th of that
month. The arrest caused consider
able excitement at the time, and
Nance was placed in jail where he
has been ever since. Tuesday he W as
brought to trial before Judge BRASIL
er. The evidence showed that the
little girl had been frightened into
making the accusation by an older
sister, who threatened to hang her if
she refused, and that her story has no
foundation in fact. At the instance
of the Commonwealth the case was
dismissed and Nance released from
custody. We are glad that he has
been so completely cleared of this
awful charge.

Elizaboth's Court.

The curtain went up on crowded
house at the entertainment of the
Gordon Blue aud Attic Bees societies
of the South Ky. College, Wednesday
night. TIE exercises consisted of a
historical interlude arranged by Miss
Resale Lipscomb, introducing tn
lords and ladies of Elizabeth's oour {
in royal attire. Miss Lipscomb very
nicely connected scenes from Mar
loves Edward II, The Tempest,
Henry VII, Antony and Cleopatra
and the Merchant of Venice. The
c)stuming was remarkably accurate
and the acting of the young ladies
and gentlemen evidenced careful
drill and superior talent. The COM
mencement exercises last night were
largely attended, report of which
will appear in our next.

The Railroad Situation.

, After spending several days in the
city Pres: d. A. Courier, of the Chi
cage & Gulf, left for GAINESVILLE,
Wednesday, TO see what he could do
for his line over there. We under.
stand that while here that Pres. A
II, Clark, of the Ky. and Tenn. rail
way backed by the local directory
made him an offer for the construc.
ton of his line to Hopkinsville and
through this State. This offer Pres
Courier will lay before his syndicate
in Chicago and an early answer il
expected. While these important
negotiations are pending, the outside
public may expect but little reliable
information.

We are gratiiied at the continuous
expressions of good will that come 10
us from our readers. That the KEN
TUCKIAN is on legitimate boom is
evidenced in the largo increase Of our
list of subscribers and generous pat
ronage in other respects. AS news
paper the KENTUcKIAN has no super
ior in the state. We bend every en-
ergy to prove faithful to the reading
public, and no event of Importance
escapes without being well consider
ed in our columns. Tho political
campaigns are now on, and the peo-
pie should keep posted in the great
issues that are being fought in our
land. II is necessary for one to keep
abreast Of the movements of the day
that he should commence now, and
there is no medium of news and COM
ment superior TO the KENTUcKIAN.

Our Finances.

The board of supervisors have cor
rccted the City Assessors returns and
reported TO the Council. From the
report the following facts are gath
cred; White property, %,33,G65,
colored property, $SO,720. Total ST.
454,3S5. If twenty per cent. be add
cd to the Assessors estimate the total
will be increased to $l,745,3 1862, about
the true value of the city property.
The number of tithes returned are,
white 654, colored 5l0-total 1l64.
From this we can estimate that there
arc about 400 voters In the city, and
counting one voter for every five per-
sons. an easy count for the popula-
ton would place the figures at about
1000 people.

Muzzle Your Dog!

The Council passed an ordinance
Tuesday, which is to take effect June
10Th and remain in operation till
Sept. 18th, instructing the police tc
kill all dogs which they find roam.
ing at large without a muzzle. The
officers will not bother dogs kept on
the premises, and people from the
country need have no fear for their
CANNES so long as they keep them
with them, but they had best leave
their dogs at home. The police are
going to arm themselves with fine
ouble-barrel breach loading shot
guns and fight the dog war out to the
bitter end, and may they never miss
a shot or a dog.

this afternoon is of so great impor-

attend en- mdsse. The Commercial
Club is trying to light the fires of
enthusiasm and progress, and it
should be given all the encourage.
ment possible. All the speeches will
be short and TO the point, the exercis-
es consuming not more than an hour
and a half's time. Let everybody
como and enjoy the occasion.
