SOUABBLE SETTLED.
The Electric Light Company
Comes to the City's Terms.
A Few Suggestions as to Changes That
should be Made.-rhe Railroad
Company Should Pay for
Light

A paragraph in the LEAF-CHRoN-
ICLE last evening contained the
intelligence that the lOng-existing
troubles between the city and the
Electric Light Company had been
satisfactorily settled. The Electric
Light Company came to the city's
terms and closed the contract for
lighting the city.
The Board of Mayor and Alder
men met last night, ratified the con-
tract and passed the ordinance on
first reading without a dissenting
vote. The contract provides
that the Electric Light Company
shall furnish the city with twenty
five lights, of 1000 candle power, at
a rate of $500 per month per light.
The city also retains the privilege of
taking any number of lights it sees
proper, up TO thirty lights. The
electric Light Company binds itself
to raise fifteen lights to heighth of
thirty-five feet from the ground, and
to move six lights at their own ex-
pense, to any point the committee
on lights shall designate.
The lamps are about as we'll ar
ranged, with one or two exceptions,
as they can be. The light on Madison
street at the intersection of Seventh,
should be raised thirty-five feet.
If this is done it will give light to
people living beyond this point on
Madison, and also to those living on
Greenwood avenue.
Another change that should be
made: A light should be put at the
head of Commerce street on Tenth,
near the passenger depot. A light
placed at this point and swung thir-
ty-tive feet from the ground would
light territory which needs it very
badly. This light should be paid for
by the Louisville & Nashville Rail
road Company. In other cities the
company pays for lights to protect
their interests, why not at Clarks-
Vile? The railroad should also pay
for light at the freight depot. There
is hardly week passes without COM
plants from them about people steal
ing coal. Several arrests have been
made of late on this sort of charge.
Ifan electric light were hung so as to
light up their coal chute and yards
generally, it would put an end to this
kind of petty thieving. Then again,
it would be good idea to move the
lights on Front street to the top of the
river bluff. If this were done the
same territory would be well lighted
and it would give additional light to
the city.
These few suggestions are respect
fully submitted to the committee on
lights for their perusal.

Death Of VIM. Michel.

VIM. Michel died this morning at
6:55 of typhoid fever. He had been
sick about two weeks. He was a
young man of good business habits,
and was generally liked throughout
the city. Being a member of the
firm of Michel Bros. in the bakery
business here, he had done much to
put the business of the firm upon the
solid footing it now occupies. He
was an industrious, Woodworking
young man and will be sadly missed
from his family.
He will be buried tomorrow, after
services at the Presbyterian church
by DIR. Lupton, at 2 p. M, to which
the friends of the family are invited
Interment at City cemetery.

MEssRs. EDITORS: / have talked
with a number of our most substan-
tial citizens, and they unanimously
agree with the LEAF-CHRoNICLE
that the city authorities should by
all means take advantage of the
large amount of dirt to be removed
from owen & Moore's excavation and
the Anglen property and make the
fill across double pond and extend
University avenue through to Com
merce and Madison streets. The do
ing of this will be an important step
toward removing this unsightly and
unhealthy pond of foul, stagnant
water from the center of our city.
Every stranger who visits Clarks-
vile wonders why we allow such a
nuisance in our midst.

The Americans war story, "Out-
witted, in Sundays paper, is the
best one it has published of the Sc
ries, more entertaining even than
the prize winner. The plot of the
story is in Russellville, KY, and the
leading characters are or were we'll
known here. The story is based on
a raid of Federal soldiers into Rus
sellville when it was occupied
by Capt. Jno. B. Dortch, of this
county, and squad of Confederates.
Capt. DOrtch and his men got out of
the way quickly, but DIR. Byrne, a
resident af the place and wSll-known
here, was wanted by the Federals on
charge of burning a bridge. The
party searching for him was COM
manded by Col, now President, Har-
risOn, and how woman outwitted
him and saved DIR. Byrne's life is in
terestingly told by Wilbur F. Bar
clay, recently of Russellville.

How is This P

Sing lIambaugh is responsible for
the following: During a recent rise
in West Fork negro fell into the
creek above the mill dam and foated
over the dam into the boils below.
The whirling and kissing waters
threw the negro against the dam,
between the wooden structure and
the water that was pouring over.
He grasped a projecting log and
swung on to it for dear life, knowing
full well that should he turn loose he
would be drowned. He finally sue
ceeded in craw ling up on the log,
where he remained until the creek
ran down, which was three days.

New Cottages.

Throughout the winter the build.
ing of new houses continued with
little cessation, and now that spring
has opened fairly,a fresh impetus has
been given work, and new cot
tages dot the city in every direc.

GAINESVILLE, where more cottages
have been built the past year than
were built in the entire city in the
sane length of time a few years ago
The business and central parts of the
city are not alone in their improve
ment and advancement.

to the law. 1t appeared very soon that the
tow was badly divided, and many ladies
active in temperance work refused to sane
ton the new movement.
The crusaders include the wives of every
minister but one, the wives of Postmaster
Boring and ]. F. Parshall, the town marshal;
the wife Of Charles E. Jones, cashier of the
Lathrop bank, and Mines. j. L. Brooks, II. L.
Freeman, E. G. Kinney and several others,
including several young ladies. OF these Miss
Lotto Kelsay is pointed out as the champion
bottle smasher, credited or debited with hav-
ing broken a hundred bottles of beer. As far
as an outsider can judge, those who crusaded
and those who declined are of about equal
social standing, if that cuts any figure in a
temperance war.
The county court has refused license unless
the saloonatic could get a majority of prop
erty owners in the town to sign his petition;
so there ave been no licenses in Lathrop for
many years, but the saloons opened all the
same. Now as criminal suits lave been
brought against the ladies and civil suits
against some Of their husbands for damages,
the old question of Settling up one tort
against another" will come up.

Out Of Her Elem ent,

Women are proverbially as much afflicted
with a desire to make a little money as men,
and they are sometimes ingenious in devising
the method. A few days ago, in giving a
lady her change from a dollar bill, the con-
'ductor Of an Eighth avenue car dropped a
dime, and it rolled under the sectional floor
ing. The conductor gave the passenger an
other dime and said he would get the lost
piece at the stable. A few minutes later an
elderly, well dressed and keen eyed woman,
with rather a supercilious air, boarded the
car and took a seat directly opposite the lady
who had dropped the coin. She paid her fare
and glanced at the faces of the other passen.
gers with a bored and out-of-her-element look.
Finally her eyes rested on the ten cent piece
on the floor, and, leaning forward, she beck.
oned to the conductor and said: .
please pickup the ten cent piece which ]
was just careless enough to drop"
Certainly" replied the conductor, with a
grin, as he walked to the rear of the car with
out making any attempt to get the money.
The car was nearly full of passengers, who
knew to whom the money belonged, and they
burst simultaneously into q broad and signiii-
cant smile. The woman was not in the least
faxed, but the out-of-her-element look was
considerably intensified. New York Sun.

In 1884 Mr.. Sexton, accompanied by Will
Jam Redmond, visited the United States to
attend the Irish National League convention
in Boston.
Mr.. Sexton continued to represent Sligo
until the general election in July, 1856. AT
the general election before that in Novem-
Der, 1885, he contested West Belfast against
J. N. Haslct, Conservative, but was defeated
by a majority of 81. Less than eight months
later, on July 7, 1856, he was returned by the
same constituency over the same opponent by
a majority of lO3. The news of this election
was received with rejoicing throughout Ire
land, and was the greatest triumph for the
National cause in that election. Subsequent
ly he was called to the office of high sheriff
of Dublin, and on July 4, 1887, he was unani.
mously chosen for the post of lord mayor, in
succession to T. D. Sullivan, editor and pro,
prietor of The Nation.

THOMAS SEXTON.
One of the Most Eloquent Members of the
Irish Parliamentary Party.

One of the Most Eloquent Members of the
Irish Parliamentary Party.
Thomas Sexton, who is one of the most elo-
quent members of the Irish parliamentary
party, may succeed Mr.. Parnell as leader of
step dow and out. Mr.. Sexton was born in
Waterford on June ~, 1s4s, the last year Of
the famine, and began life at the early age of
l3 by competing for a clerkship in the secre-
tary's office of the Waterford and Limerick
company. Although the youngest of the
thirty competitors, he took the first place.
A year later he joined two debating clubs,
in which he at once took the lead. When 81
he went to Dublin, where he adopted the pro-
fession Of journalism, joining the staff Of The
Nation newspaper, then edited by A. M.
Sullivan, as leader writer, and later on be-
came editor of The Weekly News and Of
Young Ireland, both issued from The Nation
office. He gave up public speaking alto
gether for a long while, since there is no rec
ord Of any speeches of his until 1878, when he
became a member Of the just formed Land
league.
In 1870 he was requested by the council of
the Land league to attend as their delegate a
county meeting at Dromore West, in the
county Sligo. His appearance, in a manner
his first introduction to public life, was q
success, and he was chosen as the Nationalist
candidate for Sligo at the general election of
1880, in opposition to Col. King-Harman, the
~redoubtable gladiator of Toryism in Ireland.
Sections majority was large.
Mr.. Sexton had spoken a great deal in his
earlier years, for he had lectured before the
societies to which he belonged, as we'll as
