a chronic Office seeker and demaA
eogue. Moreover he is charged with
being general lobbyist and the can
didate of the Tennessee Coal q Iron
company and convict leesees, which
charges go undenied, and this is not
the kind of a man the people want
for governor, howsOever able he may
be.
Mr.. Clapp comes nearer filling the
bill with the people than any man
announced, and if the Memphis
Democracy are united and sending a
harmonious delegation to Nashville
for him, he will stand splendid
chance for the nomination, but as
matters now stand the Democracy
of the State will hardly think of talk
ing the Memphis fight on its HAMS
if it does, it takes very great risk of
defeat.

Call of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee For Tuesday, July Is.

NASHVILLE, April 3.-A convention OF the
Democratic patty of Tennessee is hereby
called on Tuesday, the 18th day of July, 1890,
at ~ o'clock M, for the purpose of nominal
ing a candidate for Governor, and the trans
action o, such other business as may be
brought before 1t. The State Democratic
Executive Committee recommend that the
respective counties in the State appoint no
greater number OF delegates than they are

The Public Road Question.


At the last meeting of the County
court the proposed road convention
to be held in Nashville this summer
was brought to the attention of the
magistrates by Judge Tyler, but il
was a very busy day and the only
action taken was the adoption of a
motion appointing any and every
citizen who would attend as dele.
gates to the convention. This ac-
ton amounts to absolutely nothing,
because no one is partic 4larly author
lied or made to feel interested
enough to attend. This is a question
of too great importance to be neg
lected or passed over lightly by
Montgomery county. No county in
the State stands more in need of a
good road system than Montgomery.
Our roads are in miserable condi-
ton and are not likely to be i'm
proved under the present system.
The growth of GAINESVILLE and the
increase of business and farming
operations make it all the more i'm
portant that we should have good
roads. This being tobaccO-produc-
ing section, great deal of heavy
hauling is naturally done over our
public roads, and that during the
winter and spring when the roads
are at their worst and frequently i'm
passable, necessitating great delay
and heavy cost in delivering pro-
duce, or the doubling of teams,
breaking down wagons, etc.
1t is very important that Mont
gOmery county should send a strong
delegation to the Nashville conven-
ton, and that is not all; the delega-
ton should be well prepared for bus
mess, having some well matured
plan or system to present to the con-
vention. More than likely large
convention will meet from nearly all
AOultllNN III AIlt N'NuA1 Win
specially to present to the conven-
ton looking to perfect system, in
which event the convention will
prove failure and fall upon some
unmatured plan for change. This
question should be discussed through
the press and by public meetings in
every county in advance, and the
best ideas for Il general road system
which may be enacted into law by
the next Legislature adopted. We
would suggest to Judge Tyler, as he
is the proper man to take the lead,
that he call Il public meeting of in.
terested citizens at an early day to
discuss this question, mature some
plan and appoint delegation to the
Nashville convention.

Boston, April 29.-Tne board Of
police of Boston has stirred up the
hquor-dealers by ordering the removal
of all public bars, and gave them twenty
days in which to comply with the order.
This order affects all the big hotels, as
we'll as the ordinary groggeries, and
already there is music in the air Re-
fusal to comply with the order will re-
suit in forfeiture of the license. The
law which the board of police is now en-
forcing, has been on the statute book
several years, but it has always been q
dead letter. No effort has ever been
made to enforce it, The Prohibitionists
nave been pulling a few wires this
winter, and have made so much talk
about the non-enforcement of the law
that the board of police have determined
to put the law to the test
The liquor interests, alarmed at the
agitation of this question, introduced an
order relative to legalizing sales of liquor
over bar, but the committee on the
liquor law reported adversely upon it,
and the report was sustained in both
branches after hard fight. The victory
for the prohibitionists showed that pub
lie sentiment, represented by the legisla-
tors, was opposed to bars, SO the coming
year will witness the transformation Of
Boston rum shops into ideal beer
gardens. The enforcement of the law
will entail heavy loss upon such hotels
as Young's, Parkers', the Adams house,
Brunswick, the Vendome, Victoria,
Thorndyke, fremont, Quincy and Re-
we're, which have been fitted up at great
exnense

Memphis claims the next governor
and if the nomination don't go that
way il will be her own fault. We
know no law or rule by which Mem
phis is especially entitled to the
claim asserted. She has a United
States Senator and a majority of
State officers are from West Tennes-
see, but still the people of Tennessee
are not prejudiced to Memphis on that
account, and it is mistake that
they are aVerse to allowing the Bluff
City the nomination on merit. If
Memphis expects to win the hOnOrS
she must present solid Democratic
front and Il man whom the people
know and honor for his ability, in
tegrity and patriotism. The press of
Memphis is mistaken if it thinks
Mr.. Patterson is that man, for he is
not. The very first move Mr.. Patter-
son made was to disrupt the party in
his.own countyaS means of making
sure of his county's Endorsement by
getting the party machinery in hand.
The circumstances attending the ac-
ton Of himself and friends in this
matter are not of very sweet SAVIOR,
and the evidences are that Mr.. Pat
terson could not carry his own
county in the election If nominated,
and the party cannot well afford to
lose Shelby county in the coming
election. At least it is very risky.
ASIDE from this, Mr.. Patter-
son, while an able man and "A
Democrat, does not enjoy that
personal popularity throughout the
State that his Memphis friends claim
for him. Unfortunately for him he
has earned the reputation of being

Somebody told the family that IL they
would dig hole and bury young Christian
in the earth for forty-eight hours, first put
ting on him a mixture of turpentine and
other homely medicine, it would cure him.
Like any body else, they decided to try the
remedy as a last resort, and they went to
work to carry out the heroic treatment pre-

had dug the hole and placed the poor fellow
in it, all but his head, which was not affected

companied by the mother of the children,
went to Warren, leaving Laplant and wife
in charge. There were four children: the
two oldest were skating, leaving the unfor.
tunate victims alone with the murderer
and his wife. There was some dispute in
regard to the children, when Laplant left
the room and returned with a hammer
with which he dealt the boy a heavy blow,
on the skull, scattering blood upon the cell2
ing and floor. The girl Interrupting engaged
his attention and drawing a knife stabbed
her and also dealt her heavy blows with.

DOM PEDRO'S WEALTH,

The Value of he Property Which Was
Confiscated by the Provisional Govern
ment.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The Strabo has
brought copies of late Brazilian papers.
The Rio paper Opaiz (the country OF De-
cember 9Th and 9Th contains some interest
ing facts about the property of Dom Pedro,
which has been confiscated by the pro-
vlsional government. The following is a
list: "The value of the silverware that be-
longed to Dom Pedro, removed from the
palace of st. Christoroo at Petropolis,
is estimated at 900, OOO,0 900 cantos or
about t$S00,0OO. The jewelry of the
late empress, which was kept in
the treasury, valued at about $4,000 900,
Dom Pedro's personal jewelry valued at
100000, the crown jewels, valued at about
$250,O00, and the coaches and stable of the
royal family 500, 900. The furniture and
fixtures of the palace are said to be old and
shabby, probably not worth, all told, 81 500.

be worth about 100000. Connected with

A British Vessel in a Gale.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Captain Lord, of
the British steamer Croma, which arrived
to-day from Middleboro, reported: 1--WE
experienced the toughest weather l have
ever known Up to December 18th we had
a succession of furious gales. The ship
was bloWn off into the trough of the sea,
although going at full speed and became
interchangeable. We stopped the. engines
and used a plentiful supply of oil which
materially aided in breaking the crests of
full sea, which carried everything
before it, smashing one boat and damaging
others, washing away part of the flying
bridge and injuring several of the crew.
The engineer says that part of the highest
sea Went down the funnel, the top of
which is fifty-six feet above the water.
The water came rushing through the tubes
III such volumes as nearly put the fires
out and caused a great commotion
among the men below. On the 18th
it blew a heavy gale and on
the goth the wind again attained the form
of a hurricane. During the night we ship
ped a tremendous sea over the bows. It
swept away everything in its way. carry
ing Wreckage from the main deck over
the upper bridge, about twenty-five feet
high and finally making its exit over the
stern. This sea washed a fireman from the
foremost on to the main bridge, lifting him
about twenty feet and landing him among
the debris under the starboard boat. When
picked up he was insensible. He received
dangerous injuries. Thence to port we
experienced various kinds of weather.
from moderate to heavy westerly gales"

The Disastrous Bull Fight.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 2.-Telegrams
from Villa de Orde give full particulars of
the fall of the plaza last Tuesday, while a
bull fight was in progress. About 10000
people were crowded into the building.
Many were buried beneath the debris,
among them many ladies of the best fami-
lies of the town. In their desperate situa-
ton fights occurred among men and many
were stripped of every stitch of clothing.
The crowd on the opposite side of the
building, which numbered thousands, be-
came panic stricken and fell and trampled
on one another in their attempts to reach
the outside plaza. The bull fighters were
also seized with fear and made their exit
with the bulls closely following. The
trampling OF the helpless and the agonlzed
cries of the women made the place q scene
of ~pandemonium. The number of wound
ed will reach into hundreds, and while the
injuries of q great many of them are ser.
ious and painful, 1t is believed no case will
prove fatal.

The Ohio Senatorial Firht.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 3-There is no appreci-
able change in the relative strength of the
senatorial candidates, but a great deal of
work has been done. An effort was mad g
early in the day to create a sensation in a
business way, by trying to force Calvin S.
Brice to a settlement IN connection with
the old Lake Erie & Western railway. Mr..
Brice was president of the Lake Erie &
Western before the reorganization, and
still holds the position. Brice's business
callers were v. c. Ward and j. C. Gross
man. The friends of Mr.. Brice pay little
attention to the performances of Ward,
and are proceeding with the business be-
fore them. Charles W. Baker, of Cincin-
matt, is being viewed as a good compromise
candidate and will have some votes on the
first ballot in the caucus. He has hopes
that the prize may come his way. The
house and senate caucuses will be held to-
morrow forenoon for the nomination of
candidates for offices in either branch.
The senatorial caucus is fixed for
most any day next week, rumor placing
it for next Tuesday.
