Judge Graee Affirmed.

The Court of Appeals has decided
that the law of 1879 10 regard to
holding two elections "a the same
day is still in force, Notwithstanding
the fact that it was left out Of The
last compilation OF the General Stat
utes. The case is 80 familiar to our
readers aud the public generally that
giving anything like it's history
would be superfluous. 1t is general
ly known by the people that the Ohio
Valley proposition has'been knocked
into smithereens. The information
reached the city by telegram about
5 o'clock Friday afternoon and was
read from the KENTUCKIAN Bulletin
with but little disappointment, as the
long delay by the Court in forming
an opinion had somewhat prepared
the public mind for such decision.
The question was often asked, what
will we now do z? but no ono was pre-
pared TO answer. Whilst there was
detection pictured on almost every
body's face, yet all seemed TO hope
that there is a way yet out of the d.
lemma.
A representative of this paper saw
Judge j. 1. Landes yesterday and got
his opinion of the outlook. He said
that while he was not officially
authorized TO make the statement
yet from his knowledge of the case
he believed that as soon as DR.. Kel'
sey returned from the Eis. a propo-
sition would be submitted to the peo'
pie. The 0. V. Company wants to
extend its line and something that
would no doubt be acceptable to the
people in that direction would soon
be laid before them. This is the
whole thing in nutshell, no one
knows more. There is no use in GO
ing to idle speculation.

The Standard has taken occasion
in previous issues to commend the
efforts made by Messrs. Young L
Allison and w. M. Hull at the recent
press convention to interest the edi.
tors of Kentucky in the matter of i'm
migration and material development
of the state. While most of the
speeches at the convention were
favored with reference to the Mon
archs, the wealthy distillers, to theil
celebrated product in particular, and
to Kentucky's other celebrities, race
horses and beautiful women, Messrs.
Allison and Hull, ignoring these ever
new and ever old subjects, plead
boldly for the development of the
states resources-its iron banks, its
immense forests, its coal mines, its
soils and its manufactures. Ken
tucky's triumvirate form the theme
of many beautiful stories, but they
don't assist in increasing our wealth
very much. AS for whisky, the state
and world would be better If there
were none of the stuff made. Horses
hitched to the pillow or wagon are of
more service than those which show
their mettle in the speed ring, while
the women-God bless 'em-are too
pure and sweet to be mentioned in
the same connection with the vile
poison which steals away mems
brains and the animal which may be
a half-brother to jackass. And
besides if we quit drinking Ken
tucky's famous whisky and quit
putting up our money on Proctor
Knott in tho Derby, and turn our
attention to those matters Messrs.
Allison and Hull spoke of, we
would have money to bestow lux
uries upon our favored wom-
en-. A resolution to eliminate a
mention of Kentucky's whisky,
horses and women would have been
voted down by a large majority at
the X. p. A., buf II all the members
will carry out the suggestions thrown
out by the gentlemen mentioned in
the outset, we will find q different
state when we meet at Winchester
twelve months hence.-Paducah

Draperies are seen upon the skirts Of
nearly all the spring gowns, but they are
soft land clinging, with no suspicion of
bouffancy about the hips or back. The
Greek apron is very much used. 1t falls
straight and open at ono side, and Is
drawn up in full jabot folds under big
cabbage bow upon tho other.
Though no longer especially stylish,
Jackets will be much worn. They have
skirts good deal longer than Of yore,
and when made OF light cloth are much
trimmed with matching velvet. For
dark colors braid 10 still the favorlto gar
niture. When not lined throughout with
silk or satin they arc very. deeply faced.
The Jacket Is utterly out OF place over
q directoire gown. Instead one must
wear either a mantle with four capes at
the back and long fronts with wido
lapels at top, or else six capes all around
made In cloth Of two ycolors, simply cut
upon the edges and finished at the throat
with high collar and flamboyant bow
OF ribbon. f

A BRACE OF KILLINGS.
Two CoIored Men Shot to Death and
Their Murderers Still
at Large.

News reached the city last Salur-
day that = man had been murdered
by unknown parties east of the city
about six miles. The victim was a
colored man by the name of Sam
Coleman, who worked on the farm OF
Willie Lindsay. Tue wife of Cole
man, 1t is said, gave the facts of the
killing, in which she stated that two
men, not stated whether whites or
blacks, came to the door.at II Friday
night and aroused herself and hus-
band and called Coleman TO the door.
After he had opened the door the
two men seized him and attempted
to drag him from the room. Failing
after considerable effort, one of the
men shot Coleman through the heart
and then fled. Coleman fell to the
floor dead. DIR. Dulin, the Coroner
went up 10 the place of the killing
Saturday and held an inquest.
Nothing on which to base an opinion
as to who did the XII ing was brought
out, and up to yesterday morning
the affair was wrapped in mystery,
We understand that DIR. Dulin says
there were no indications that any
one had approached the premises
either atoot or horseback. AS to
whether there were foot prints left OF
the departing murderers we did not
learn. Our informant said that there
was a negro man sleeping in an a0-
joining room. What the develop
ments will be remain to be brought
to light by the work of the oflicials.
The case certainly demands careful
investigation and the one who brings
the murderers to justice will deserve
the gratitude Of the whole county.

A Question with Two sides.

Mr.. Sheppard, the president of the
Philadelphia board of education, says;
at is, in my estimation, a mistake to
put u woman in charge of school, Not
that would cast any reflection upon
those who now hold such positions, for
their duties are performed as well as they
can be by womani but in the very ma
ture of things man would DO better
qualified to hold the position, and to
bring up the pupils in the way they
should 80, not only from an educational
point Of view, but from moral one as
well. A man can reason with boy
about matters that some female teachers
would not care'to talk about" But, on
the other hand, woman can reason
with girl about some matters that a
malo teacher would not care to talk
about.-True Flag.

He Denies II.

In the absence of the editor of this
paper from the office on account of
sickness in his family, representa-
tive saw Hon. John yesterday
afternoon in regard TO an article
which appeared in Sundays Courier
Journal in which Mr.. FelaDd was
quoted as saying that the person who
started the report that he had used
certain letter written by Gen. Har-
rison nine years ago indorsing Mr..
Feland for the position Of District
Judge, in securing his appointment
as Collector of Revenue had lied
Mr.. Feland denies having said
that anyone was liar, that, as .
gentleman he would not use suct
language, and that he told thu
reporter not TO use thu
name Of Maj. Crumbaugh one way
or the other; that If such letter il
in existence, he knows nothing OF 1t
that he would not have used it if hi
had had it in his possession that HI
simply told the reporter that 1t wa
not true; that he did not use thu
word lie at all, as before stated ; tc
deny his having or using such q
letter; that his fight was over and he
cared nothing about the matter. The
representative left Mr.. Feland full,
convinced that the language quoted
as coming from Mr.. Feland was no
correct and that Mr.. Feland did moi
intend such an epithet for Maj. Crum'
baugh or anybody else. He only
desired to deny the existence of such
a letter as far as his information goes,

Murder at Julien.


Killing seems to be quite "the
thing" at this time. Our people had
not altogether relieved themselves of
their indignation at the mysterious
murder of Sam Coleman on Friday
night in the eastern part of the coun-
ty, before the news was brought to
the city that another man had been
killed, in another part of the county
Saturday night.
There was big barbecue at Julien
last Saturday, and moonlight dance
at night. The event had been adver-
tised for two weeks or more in adj
vance, and large number of colored
people of the immediate vicinity
gathered at the appointed day to take
part In the festivities. Large num-
bers along the line OF tie G. IL P.
Division had gone down OH special
trains, a string and brass band had
been engaged, and extensive prepa-
rations generally had been made to
entertain the large number of people
who were confidently expected to be
ON hand.
Julien is about ten miles southeast
of the city, on the G. 81 p. Railroad,
and is situated in one of the fairest
and most fertile parts of the county.
The citizens of that neighborhood are
of the best class of our people, and
deeply regret that the grand finale OF
the negroes holiday should be a
murder, and probably double one.
Gathered from two or three source 8
the particulars of the murder are
about these: In point of numbers
and enjoyment the festivities Of Sat-
urday and Saturday night were all
that could be desired and went of
quite pleasantly. After the dance al
night couple of negro men, who
were playing Scraps" got into dis
pute over their game. One of them
was Ed Torian, farm hand of Mr..
j. r. Caudle. The other was Wilson
Mcknight, section hand on the
Clarksville & Princeton Railroad.
In the wrangle Mcknight drew his
pistol and shot Torian, killing him
Instantly. Another report says that
after Torian was shot he seized the
money over which the quarrel had
been raised and crawled into the
bushes, where he was afterwards
found dead. Mcknight made his
escape, and at this writing (l0;3
m. Monday had not been appre-
hended.
Ella Malone, q young negro wo-
man who had gone TO the barbecue
from Trigg county, is missing and it
is feared that che has also been killed
and is now lying IN some place near
the scene of the tragedy, as there was
a general stampede when the fatal
shot was fired by Mcknight. There
were about 300 negroes on the ground
and as the report of McKnights pis-
toll rang out on the air it was follow
ed by, as we learn from a reliable
source, about $50 random shots from
the excited crowd. 1t is believed
that the girl, Ella Malone, was struck
and killed by one of these shots. Dill
ligent search has been made but she
has not yet been found.
Several negro men were from the
city, and while ON their way home
were discussing the killing and what
they would do with the murderer if
they had a chance. They say that
just at that time Mcknight stepped
from fence corner and told them
that If they d i'd not get out OF the
way instantly he would settle them
at once. They did not have TO be
told second time but were glad 10
get off with whole skins.
