Johnson City. Tenn. Nov, IA, 1889.
The Danvllle and East Tennessee.

The prospects for the Danville and
East Tennessee railroad building to
johnson City are frightening daily.
The company is aware of the fact that
the difference between building to
Johnson City and any other point in
East Tennessee is simply the differ
ence between l per cent and 4 per cent
grades in favor of johnson City.
Were all other things equal, this fact
alone would bring it here, as no
company will build q road expecting
it to have a good business, as this one
is bound to have, being a great East
and West trunk line, and build it
through a country where such steep
grades have to be made as to render it
comparatively useless for all practical
purposes as a competing line. The
line to Johnson City is not only the
most desirable route in the matter OF
grades, but it is through a practically
undeyeloped country and a country
rich in natural resources. The noun
tains OF Johnson and Garter counties
are loaded to the top with magnetic
and hematite iron ores and manga
nese and the tops are covered with
the finest forests OF hard wood timber
that can be found in the South. The
magnetic ore that abounds there in
unlimited quantities in the lowest in
phosphorus OF any that has been
found in America and is the only steel
making ore in the South. All Of
these ores are lying in those noun
tains, hid away, as it we're, have been
there for centuries and only await the
building OF the Danville and East
Tennessee road to be placed upon the
markets OF the world and to make q
great manufacturing town of Johnson
City. 1t is true, Johnson City has one
railroad, the E. T. &W. N. c., pene'
trating the mountains at Cranberry
and another, the great Three C'a.
building across the same celebrated
vein of magnetic ore at another point.
but it is left for the D. & E. 7. to
follow the Watauga river through the
mountains, and in doing so, pass
through the very heart Of the finest
country in the world. The people oil
Johnson County want the road and
will give the company 100000 to
build through it. Carter county peo'
pie are Just as anxious to haYe the
road and will also take 100000 stock
in it. The town Of Johnson City
never "hickers nor falters" and will
accept any reasonable proposition
that is made to it. 1t not only offers
greater inducements as a railroad cen
ter, but it will pile up more dollars as
a city and by private subscription
than any town OF its size in the South,
One company proposes to add $25,O0C
to any amount the city will subscribe.
That is how Johnson City is built.

A. N. sWOPE KILLED.
Stabbed to the Heart by the Foremost
Republican Of Kentucky.
LExINeToN, Ky, November 8.

LEXINGTON, KY, November 8.
Several thrusts with a bowie.kniie
and two shots from a revolver this
afternoon removed from the political
field the leaders Of the republican
party in Kentucky. 1t was q duel to
the death, in which Colonel A. NJ.
SwOpe, ex-Collector Of internal Reve.
nue., fell, his heart cleft in twain by a
knife-thrust, and Colonel William
Cassius Goodloe, present Collector Of
Internal Revenue and member of the
republican national committee, re.
ceived a bullet in his intestines that,
it is feared, will result fatally.
The two men, who have stood at the
head Of their party in Kentucky for
many years, have long been personal
enemies. They have always contested
holly the honors to be distributed by
the republican clans in Kentucky,
which have been about equally divi'
ded.
An attempt was made to heal the
breach last summer, when the repub'
lican State Convention nominated
Colonel Swope for State Treasurer,
but the effect was the opposite to what
was expected. Colonel SwOpe de.
clined the honor fatty and took ex'
ception to a speech made by Colonel
| Goodloe.
The two men met at the Phoenix
Hotel, in this city, a few days later
and were about to fight when friends
separated them.
The two men had not crossed each
others path again until to-day, when
they met in the post Office rotunda
Their boxes adjoin. Both started To
get their mail out at the same time
and jostled each other.
''You have insulted me" said Swope
and instantly reached for his revolver
while Goodloe as quickly pulled hi
knife.
Swope fred and Goodloe plunged
his keen blade. They clinched again
and again. The knife rose in the air
and came down with a sickenins
swish into the soft flesh.
"My God, don't!" exclaimed Swope
Then he reeled and fell backward
As he did so his pistol hand became
disengaged and the weapon was fired
Swope was dead when he reached the
floor. Goodloe staggered to the doOl
with a bullet in his intestines that The
doctors say will produce death.
The corpse Of Swope was picked
up and it was found he had thirteen
wounds on the upper part Of his body
half a dozen Of which would have re
suited fatally. The blow that reached
the heart went in just under the LEFT
shoulder and extended down to thal
organ.
LEXINGTON, KY, November 1O.-A

scarcely cold corpse in Lexington
Such is the result Of Fridays tragedy
Colonel Goodloe died at nearly high
noon to-day. The body of his victim
and his slayer had but a few minutes
before been covered with its mother
earth. A feeble old father in Stanford
has had his few remaining days on
earth shortened by an empowering
grief one of the happiest families in
Lexington has lost its head, and Q
widow bowed down with woe in an
guish draws her fatherless offspring to

The case against Police Officer Michael
Cannon, who Is charged with intoxication
while on duty, was considered by the police
commissioners Saturday afternoon. The par
tioular offsnse was committed on the night
of July 81. Sergeant Drisooll, the first wit
ness, said that the officer came into police
headquarters on that night under the In
Auenoe Of liquor. The sergeant called the
attention of Lieutenant Wrinn and Rounds.

went out upon his beat again the sergeant
and the roundsman followed him and saw
him staggsr along Church street.
William ]. Cool, special constable and bank
Waterman, testified that he cav the Office,
before the Exchange building on Church
street when he appeared to be under the In
huence Of liquor.
Cannon had repeatedly interrupted the
proceedings of the board. His actions were
very peculiar. Finally Commissioner Ben
ton sharply told him to keep still for he was
hurting his own case. Commissioner Holt
turned to Chief Bollman and asked him If
he thought the officer was sober now. "In
my candid opinion the man at the present
time is not SOBER" said the chief "He is
Is laboring psrtly under the influence of
drink and partly under the influence of ex-
element, but he Is not SOBER"
Cannon, when called to testify, refused to
take an oath, as is customary. He was fin
ally persuaded to. however. He said he had
had only one drink of French brandy and
pepper to check an attack of diarrhea. He
was not Intoxicated.
In executive session the board came to a
deadlock, the Democrats supporting Cannon
and the Republicans voting against him. The
meeting was finally adjourned till next FRI
day and Chief Bollman was ordered to sus-
pend Cannon for the meantime.
