Serious Accident to Ex-Representative
Williams.

Hon. James Williams, of KentOn,
met with an accident on Sunday af-
ternOOn that will cOnfne him to his
house for the next two mOntl or
more. He is in the habit of riding
horseback a good deal for exercise and
was carrying a letter to Kenton to
mail which he had written to his
daughter informing her of the improv-
ed condition of her mother, who has
been very sick for two or three weeks.
When about half way on his Journey,
riding along quietly, the sudden spring
OF his horse to one side at the fight of
a bird, threw him 70 the ground, the
fall breaking both bones of his leg Just
above the instep. He was not serious
ly hurt otherwise, and the severe in
jury sustained was revealed to him
when he arose to remount his horse
finding he could bear no weight ON
that limb. He craWled to the side OF
the road to await help that should
come along, but no one seemed to be
passing at that time of day on what is
usually we'll frequented road, and ii
was a-half to three-quarters of an
hour before he obtained assistance. He
finally made himself heard by some
one Of the family Of Mr.. Downs, llv-
ing on the Arnold farm,n who came
with q vehicle and bed and carried him
to his home. The fracture was re.
duced by Drs. Goodwin and Wallace
of Kentou, with the improved appli-
ances Of DR.. Dwight Of this town the
next day, and Mr.. Williams is bearing
his i'll luck with philosophical patience
and cheerfulness.

THE trial of the Flack conspiracy
case in New York resulted early Sun
day morning in a verdict of guilty
against Sheriff Fleck, his son William
and referee James Meeks, causes the
New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger to say:
The political possibilities of the con-
viction of Sheriff Flack, and the re-
markable revelations of venality in the
Sheriff's Office, followed as they are
likely to be by further disclosures OF
maladministration in other parts of
the city, are too many to be enumer-
ated. The consequences to Tammauy
Hall are likely to be very disastrous.
All the men involved in the disclos-
ures thus far belong to that organiza.
ton. The overthrow of the Tweed
ring and the disclosures of the Alder
manic bribery Of 1884, involved all
factions alike, but in the present up.
heaval Tammany alone suffers.

The Farmers Institute of New Cas-
tie county held a meeting at Whining
ton on Saturday that was attended
by 100 representative farmers. Our
farmers are very much awake, and all
their recent discussions show an in
quiring and a practical spirit. They
cannot scrutinize our local public
affairs too closely, or give too much
consideration to them. It is by ne
glect and Indifference that public
abuses and public extravaganza creep
in, and the only way to root out the
abuses and cHec. the extravagance
is for the taxpayers 10 watch the pub
lie expenditures with the same care
which they bestow upon their own
private financial affairs.
The farmers evidently feel that
they are in the worst plight of any
other business, and the time has come
for a movement against everything
that lays a burden on them. This view
of their finances brought them TO the
consideration Of the question Of taxes,
and d. J. Murphey offered a resolu-
ton which after debate was carried,
in favor of having the board OF the
prisoners in New Castle Jail reduced
from 30 to 20 cents per diem.
John c. Higgins said that Peter
the Hermit had not a greater crusade
in charge than the farmers have now

ers, let US see that fit men arc nomi
mated" His remarks were greeted
with great applause.
There was strong sentiment q
favor of discussing the tariff question
in relation to farming, which after
considerable debate was settled for the
present by appointing a committe,
to report at future meeting.
Robert J. Findlay, of John Hopkins
University, addressed the meeting or

THE FORGERY CASE
Continued Until Next Monday Morning
for Examination,

At 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, the
hour appointed for the preliminary ex-
animation of Assemblyman J. M. Dam
ron and j. S. Chadwick, standing room
was at a premium in Justice Austin 8
court, and it was somewhat difficult
matter to obtain ingress to the room.
When the court called the case, District
Attorney Kelly rose and announced that
the attorney for the defendant Chad
wick had requested continuance, as
he had been called away to Santa Bar
bara yesterday morning. He stated that
he was perfectly willing that continu-
ance should be had, provided that the
fact that it was granted at the request
of the defendants should appear upon
the records, Major Donnell addressed
the court briefly in favor of continu-
ance, stating that he had been retained
in the case to assist, and would like
time in which to become acquainted
with the facts connected with it before
conducting it.
At this juncture the defendant Dam
ron rose and moved the court for a seq
regation of his case from that of the de-
fendant Chadwick. The district at
torney announced that he would never
consent to such proceeding, and the
court stated that it had made conces-
sion in the case of Justice Lockwood, but
that it was not prepared to make SINH
lar order in the other cases. The ques-
ton before it at that time, however, was
not that of segregation, but on a motion
for a continuance, which would be
granted, and the examination was con-
tinued until 10 O'Clock ON Monday
morning next,
