The Marshal and Mr.. Mackay.

A bitter wrangle of words between
City Marshal Zautner and our towns
man Charles Mackay last Wednesday
evening in Daub's, has been the cause
of no little excitement and feeling in
the community ever since. 1t may be
that Mr.. Mackay used very abusive
language to the marshal, but the quar-
rel could only be kept up by the two,
and if the marshal had withdrawn
from the wordy alteration it certainly
would have ceased, an ending that
could not but reflect credit on the mar
shall and show that he was for stopping
quarrels and wrangles, rather than be-
coming the instrument for encouraging
and continuing such violations of the
peace of the city. Mr. Mackay's ofense
would have kept and he could have
been arrested the next day and taken
before the proper tribunal and
fined if guilty; but the marshal saw
fit to have satisfaction then and there,
constituting himself sort of judge and
jury in order to attain his end, and the
treatment Mr.. Mackay received from
the marshal in making the arrest, is
where the sense of the community feels
outraged. Mr.. Mackay charges that,
although, telling the marshal that he
was willing to walk to the lookup, be
was dragged like the vilest and most
obdurate culprit, and when he was
brought within the jail he was shackled
and handcuffed after the manner of the
worst villain. Mr.. Mackay again AYERS
that he was pounded and kicked and
threatened with punishment still more
murmuring to all the officers demands
and orders. Mr.. Mackay carries on his
face the proof of the blows he received
in this tough experience, showing that
there is more than mere talk about the
punishment he had to bear.
The marshal's defense for the shack
ling and Handwriting is that some per-
sons who were witnesses of the trouble
feared that Mr.. Mackay would commit
suicide if left free to use his arms and
legs, and to guard against such con-
tingency took the course he did, but
this plea is not consistent with the fact
that Mr.. Mackay, after the release from
the lookup, through the kind interven-
ton of ex-Mayor VIM. F. Voss, did no
harm to himself although, wholly I'M
restrained and allowed to go and do as
he pleased. There is a general feeling
among our people that the marshal
overstepped the mark and went clear
beyond what his duties called for, es-
pecially, when the good standing OF
Mr. Mackay as neighbor and citizen
is taken into consideration. And it is
a warming to our custodians of the peace
that no cruel methods towards those
| under arrest Will be tolerated in this
community We don't want Geo. Ken
| nan to come here for illustrations of his
Siberian experience with prisoners.
Mr.. Mackay was taken Thursday
morning before Justice Stacy charged
with using abusive and obscene Ian
guage to such an extent as to provoke
an assault. His counsel, G. III. Gardner
obtained a change of venue and the
case comes up before Justice Halligel
at 10 O'Clock next Saturday morning
| Marshal Zautner has retained Harlow
| Pease as his counsel.

ST. PatriCk's Day.


The day was observed in Watertown
in very quiet manner High mass was
celebrated at st. Bernard's church.
Rev. Father Coleman delivered quite
lengthy and highly interesting dis
course on the life and character of Ire
lands patron Saint. The reverend
speaker carried his hearers with him
to the days when St. Patrick, mere
lad of 16 years, was taken captive into
Ireland; his life, subsequently as a
shepherd, and finally his elevation to
the sacred ministry, and his return to
Ireland as a missionary, and his I'M
paralleled success in converting the
people to Christianity. ireland has
suffered centuries of misrule and tyr
any," said the speaker, "but all the
signs indicate that she will, before long,
sever the bonds which have kept her
in slavery, and earn that earthly bliss
which is the reward of those who are
faithful to their God" The sermon
was listened to with the closest atten-
ton.
In the evening fine audience was
assembled in Concordia Opera house,
every seat being occupied, to witness
the play of "Pizarro," presented under
the auspices of the members of st.
Patrick Literary society, of the Sacred
Heart college. The various characters
in the play were well taken, some of
the players doing unusually fine acting
in their respective roles, showing that
they had made close study of their
parts. The entertainment was not only
highly enjoyable, but a source of con-
siderable profit to the ST. Patrick's So
ciety, rep1enishing their fund for the
advancement of their literary wants
and tastes to a considerable extent.

JUSTICE WILL COME.
Four Men Arrested for Murder Com
mitted Seven Years Ago.

Last week James Foster and his
three sons, William, John and James,
were arrested at Greenfield, Mo-, for
the killing of Wick Everts in McMinn
County in 1882. The boys were go.
ing to school and had a difficulty
with Everts, which caused old man
Foster to grow intensely angry, and
he bought his boys pocket knives and
told them to kill Everts and on the
oath of July 1882 they attacked him
and cut him to pieces. The family
fled to Arkansas, and thence to the
Indian Territory, and they lately re-
turned to Arkansas and were imme
diately arrested. They will bt
brought back to McMinn County tC
await trial.

Meetings of Negroes.

A special from Gallatin to the
Banner says:
Colored people here are getting
very restless and want to go to a
new country. Meeting after meeting
has been held recently and speech
making has been in order. A body
of sixty strong met the other night
in one of the colored churches and
money was subscribed to have Rev.
Peter Vertrees, a colored preacher
at this place, go to the far west pros
pecting for good places to locate. 1t
is the belief of many that the Indian
Territory is the place favored. Ver-
trees will leave on his mission short
ly and write back to his Tennessee
brethren the result of his prospecting
tour. Many good, Woodworking
negroes are the movers in the

Three Negro Men Place DISTINCTIONS

Three negro men boarded a coal
train at Oakdale Junction, Penn, ,one
morning last week and were discov.
cred and put off. They were terribly
enraged and went to a cut called
Hanging Rock and placed obstruc-
tions on the track so that a wreck
would have been unavoidable had a
train come along, but, however, it
was discovered in time to prevent an
accident and the negroes were arrest
ed by an armed body of rairoad men
who wanted to tie them to an en-
gine and put on full steam, but upon
better judgment allowed the law to
take its course and they are now in

NO MORE SPOILED MEAT.
A Recipe for Preserving Meat Killed
in Warm Weather.

AS there is such cry of spoiled
meat from thefarmers throughout the
country, we publish for their benefit |
the following recipe given by Mr.. A.
Forbes, of Michigan, which was Of
fered lately in the American:
Mr.. Forbes says that five years ago
he killed hogs in Michigan in Au-
gust, weighing 800 pounds and saved
his meat and says he has followed the
practice for forty years or more, and
has never lost piece. He says, get
new casks (as many as is requisite for
your purpose), kill your hogs, letting
them get as cook as. possible, taking
care to get all the animal heat out,
trimming the hams and shoulders as
usual Then cut the hams in the
middle at the joint removing a bone
that overlays the joint something
similar to the knee.cap in the human.
At that joint you will find a watery
substance, and there is where the
ham invariably begins TO spoil. In
addition, take off the hook also at the
joint. Unjoint the shoulders in the
same way, packing the hams and
shoulders in separate casks, fitting
the pieces as well as circumstances
will permit. Make a brine of salt,
saltpetre and brown sugar, in proper
tion of two ounces of saltpetre to one
quart of salt and two pounds of brown
sugar to half bushel Of salt, the brine
to be sufficiently strong to bear up an
egg. Then pour in your brine until
the meat is fully covered, weighing
it so as to keep it at all times fully
submerged.
In from ten to twenty days, accord
ing to the size of the meat, remove
from the casks and hang as usual.
This gives the beautiful red-looking
hams we have seen so often in first
class retail grocery houses. The mid
dlings should be cut in six inch strips
crosswise, taking care to remove all
the lean part that lies nearest the
backbone. Then cover the bottom
of the cask with clean, dry salt, pack
ing in the slips as closely as possible,
beginning at the outer edge and pack.
ing edgewise, covering each layer
with salt. After letting it stand that
way for five days make brine with
clear, cold water, using all the salt
that the water will dissolve, filling
the cask with the brine, fully sub
merging, as in case Of the hams ant
shoulders. Never remove the pieces
except as needed for use. Mr.. Forbe'
says this is the practice amongs
Michigan farmers. He followed tn,
plan all his life and he has never los
piece of meat.

A BODY FOUND.
The Body of the Parksville and Duck
town Mail Crrrier Found in the
0coee River.

a corpse supposed to be that of the
mail carrier between Parksville and
Ducktown was found a few evenings
since by a search party hanging to
some drift wood in the Ocoee river.
There are no wounds about the head
to indicate that the skull had been
crushed, and the flesh was so badly
decomposed that no signs Of injuries
were visible upon the boys body,
at the same time it is generally be-
lieved to be a murder. 1t is likely
to be mystery never to be unsolved
and the perpetrator of the cowardly
deed is keeping his secret closely
guarded. The body has been given
decent burial. .at

Interesting Road Case.
rGallatin Tennessean.]


The county court met last Monday
and Tuesday to hear a petition from
various citizens asking for a public
road through the farm of l.. A.
Green. The petitioners deposited a
fund to pay for the right of way and
the expense of the suit. 1t is need
less to say that the contest elected
much interest as those concerned
were neighbors and friends. After
the proofs had been taken vigorous
speeches were made by counsel on
both sides, and when the argument
was closed there were many present
to hear the decision. All the magis-
trates present except three voted
against granting the petition for
the road.
