Criminal Court.

The Criminal court did some very
lively work yesterday, disposing Of
fourteen cases. These, however,
were most trivial cases, but there are
anumber of bad cases on the docket,
and it promises to be long and tire
some tenn. The Avant case will
hardly come up at this term. The
grand jury found a true bill against
him last week and he sill go over to
the next term. 1t is a bad case and
will be put off as long as possible.
After disposing of another charge
against Charlie Drake, the purpose is
to take up John Gilmer's case. Gill
lner is charged with the murder OF
another negro, Abe Clardy, IN dis
trict No. 4, some three years ago. He
has had two trials, resulting in hung
juries. This case will consume the
remainder Of the week and perhaps
go over into next week.
A bad case disposed of yesterday
was that of Tennie Hall, white
woman, charged with keeping q
house of i'll fame, corner of Frank
lin and Tenth streets. This woman
has very bad character; her case
was up at the last term of the court
and the Judge allowed it to go over
on her promise that she would sell
the property and leave, or at least
break up the place. This she has
failed to do, and the court
gave her the extreme penalty of the
law, $50 fine and six months in Jail
This will be the breaking up of this
foul den, and the court is to be com
mended for it.
The cases disposed of yesterday
were as follows
Dock Ellington. col, petit larceny
not guilty.
Dock and Lee Ellington petit lar
ceny-not guilty.
Will Johnson, COL, petit larceny
five cases, five years in the peniten
tiary.
Charlie Drake, the Nashville
Black Bottom negro, who snapped
his pistol in Officer Stafford's face anC
assaulted another party with inten
to kill, two cases F.; convicted in the
first case and sentenced for four years
in the penitentiary. The seconC
case will be tried today
Ed Blair, COL, petit larceny, ter
months in the county workhouse.
Ike Evans, COL, gaming, one cen
and cost.
Harry Gupton, col, gaming, two
cases, one cent and cost in each.
JEFF Lockert, COL, carrying pistol
dismissed on paying the cost.
VIM. Shemwell, carrying pistol
dismissed on paying the cost.

Mrs. Nina Rives, the wife Of Plum
mer Rives, of South Christian, died
at her home last night, after four
hours illness. Mrs. Rives was first
taken with something like cramp

second attack followed in very
short while and she was in a dying
condition when medical aid reached
her. He physician pronounced the

ture of her death was the absence of

HN1ARo1no THE BENDING WORKS
Organized Into Stock Company and Is
suing Bonds for the Increase OF
Business.

The GAINESVILLE Bending Works,
which started a few months ago, are
meeting with unprecedented pros
perity. Some six weeks ago a
Chicago man came here and wanted
to contract for every piece of timber
that McKesson & Shaw could turn
out. The firm refused to do this,
but signed a contract for about two
thirds, amounting to 10000 sets of
wagon felloes, 100000 spokes and
other parts in proportion. Since
that orders have bee pouring in from
other quarters calling for stocks to
double the capacity of the mill. The
superior quality of the timber worked
by these men gives the concern, it
seems, prestige over all others.
They have invested $4,000 in the
works and have been pushed TO their
utmost to do this, and being unable
to increase their operations without
more money, they organized into a
stock company for the purpose of is
suing bonds.
Messrs. H. G. Merritt, A. Howell
and John Hurst have subscribed for
shares and organized under the title
of McKesson & Shaw Manufacturing
Company. Mr.. McKesson was elect
ed president, Mr.. Shaw secretary and
treasurer, and the other gentlemen,
with them, compose the board of d.
rectors.
The company will add more build
ings and increase the capacity of the
works as fast as possible.
1t does look as if manufacturing
will pay largely here. 1t only needs
the man with energy, nerve and cap
ital to make a success at anything
and there are plenty of things that
pays equally as well, if not better
than this.

The Presidents Message.

Congress met yesterday and the
LEAF CHRONICLE presents its read
ers with the presidents message to-
day. 1t will be found on first page
and will no doubt be scanned with
interest, from curiosity if no other
reason, to see how Mr.. Harrison
meets the defeat of his party. Itap-
pears that he has not learned any
thing from the result Of the late cleo
ton. He thinks the Mckinley bill
is misunderstood, and that is where
he is mistaken. He also seems to
think that the passage of the force
bill will overcome the disaster.
Another mistake.

Increasing Importance of Memorial Day.
When Memorial day was instituted its
observances were confined to the COM
incarceration of the bravery and self sac
riice Of the fallen heroes, whose graves
are annually decorated with flowers and
adorned with flags. As the years have
PASSED these observances have broadened,
and now they include, beside the cele-
bration of the deeds of those who fought
for the old Union and whose blood
quenched the fires of civil war, consider
alton of the demands of and the relations
existing between the sections Of the new
Union. Animosities are forgotten, and the
north and the south each year clasp hands
in closer friendship. This is as the depart
cd soldiers would have it; they fought for
q common country. and in the effacement
Of the antagonisms of the past not one
jot Of the reverence felt for the departed
Is abated.

Awaits the need ye bring

Who made gray shore and pine clad plain
An altar and throne.

Anew they form their gallant line;
