"But he is only baby. He was

Four Wounded.

FRANKFORT KY, Nov. "A street
fight between brothers-in-law took
place, resulting in the wounding of
four men. 1t was County Court day
here and the streets were filled with
people when Ambrose Polygrover and
Jerry Williams met. Williams mar

men have not been on the best OF
terms, owing to Polygrover's treatment
OF his sister. When the men met Pol

liams was shot in three places and will
probabl die. Williams Larkin, by.
stander, also caught a bullet in the
right shoulder. Two other bystanders
were slightly wounded. Polygrovei
was arr. sted, but will be released or
bond. He was once Deputy Sheriff Of
the county.

Killed Herself.

JASPER, Tenn, Nov. Airs. Davis,
wife OF one of the convict guards at
Inman, where is located one of the
largest convict camps in the State,
committed suicide. she blew her
brains out with shotgun loaded with
nine buckshot. Her head was torn al
most completely to pieces. She left a
note to her husband saying that she
had rather be dead than living with
him.
She sent her two little girls off, and
when they returned they fonud her
dead. She was about % years of age,
was from Middle Tennessee originally
and was said to have been a society
belle before her marriage. There is
some mystery about the matter and
it is believed the inhumanity Of con-
vict labor bore heavily on her mind
Inman is named in honor of John H
Inman, but he has nothing to do with
working of convicts in coal mines

From Pulpit to Cell.

MEMPHIS, November 4.-The locally
celebrated case of Rev. Taylor Nightin-
gale and five members of his flock was
tried in the Criminal Court on indict-
ments charging assault and bat
terry. The congregation was divided
into two bitterly hostile factions, one
headed by Nightingale and the other
by a dlsgruntled deacon. At church
meeting the latter CROWD was set upon
by the Nightingales and thrown out ol
the building with their heads broken
The assailants were today convicted
and Nightingale sentenced to fine o.
$50 and sixty days in the Work House
The others were given lighter pun
ishment. The church involved is the
largest and finest in the South owned
by colored people.

Was the Delnge Universal ?

Some time ago, while passing over
the Cumberland Mountains, I fre-
quently observed fossil formations in
many of the rocks, such as fish, shells,
ferns, etc. Were these formations a
result of the drluge? ? At first thought
one would naturally say yes. Bnt on
further investigation Que would con-
clude that the flood was not universal.

must agree, and where both are un-

A Meeting of HOrticuIturists.

Many OF our prominent fruit
growers and gardeners have felt, for
some time, the need of a horticultural
society in East Tennessee. We are
now provided with progressive agri-
cultural organization that has done
much towards promoting the interests
OF our farmers; but the necessarily
limited scope of this society, renders it
quite impossible to meet the demands
of the fruit and vegetable producers.
The soil and climate Of this section of
the State are peculiarly well adapted
to the uses of the horticulturist; and
his industries have grown to such an
extent during the past few years that
the organization of society devoted
to his interests seems very desirable.
In consideration of these facts ar
rangements have been made for a
general meeting of all interested in
horticulture, at Hartman, Wednesday
and Thursday, Nov. 18th and 18th.
The question of organizing Horticul-
tLral Society will then be considered,
and numerous papers will be read by
prominent horticulturists who have
promised to be present. Those having
fruits or plants to exhibit will be es-
pecially welcome-they can not afford
to be absent Ladies are expected to
attend-the meeting without the ladies
will be like horticulture without
flowers. A pleasant and profitable
meeting is assured and all are earn.
estly requested to come prepared to
have a good time and take part in the
discussions.

Observations.

The perversity of the street car in
being delayed when you have just five
minutes in which to catch a train at
the depot half mile away is as per-
sistent as it is exasperating.
Persons who explain a performance
in a theatre while it is goirg on, to
the annoyance of those who wish to
hear what the players are saying, dis
count even their scant information by
their illbreeding.
When preachers in the same church,
who preach the same gospel Of peace.
refuse to speak to each other, their
conduct is severer criticism on their
religion than anything the devil can
devise against Christianity.

Proposed Institution,

G. NJ. Beall, who is in the city from
Ohio, represents a prominent educa-
tional institution in the west, who
wants to establish a similar institution
at this place. That such an institu-
ton as MIR. Beall represents would be
Of great advantage to our city, there is
no doubt 1t is such as would not only
speak for us in an educational sense,
but would bring in large number Of
students from distant points who
would leave much money in the place,
We hope that Mr.. Beall can succeed
in making suitable arrangements.

THE COMET received the above tele-
gram from Mayor | T.sJobe announce
ing the death OF Gov A. S. Marks.
He was born in Davies county, Ken
lucky. At fifteen, the death of his
father rendered it necessary for him to
take charge of the family farm and at
tended school but little thereafter
At very early age he developed a
fondness for literature. At nineteen
began to study law, and in 1853 com
menced the practice of his profession.
In 1860, he supported Bteckinridge
and Lane. In 1861 he was the Union
candidate from his county for the
Constitutional convention but was de-
feated In May, 1861, he entered the
Confederate army as a volunteer and
was elected captain. He was soon
promoted to major and then to colonel.
He lost a leg at the battle of Murfrees-
boro and his name was on the roll of
honor by the order of President Davis.
After the war he resumed the practice
of law at Winchester. In 1870 he was
elected Chancellor and in 1878 was
reelected without opposition. In the
same year he was nominated by the
Democratic party for Governor and de
feated by DR.. Wight, of Chattanooga,
who was the Republican candidate.

find upon c'oser inspection to be the
r. suits of geologic action older than
the age OF Noah These shells and
corals are not universally spread over
the face Of the earth, as would have
been the case il carried there by a
flood of waters. These fossils are de-
posted deep in the earth as we'll as in
the rocks on the surface.
1t may also be objected to univer-
sal flood that the salt waters of the
ocean in overHowing the land in the
course of year, destroyed all fresh
water fish and seed and plants, none
of which were taken into the ark.
Another insuperable objection to its
universally is the inadequacy of any
ship or vessel constructed by human
hands to contain pairs OF all the ami
mails now known to exist, together
with food enough to supply them for
whole year
Now, would not have any one for a
moment think that | doubt the bible

mand a correct Interpretation OF its
truths. | think the flood was univer
sal as to the descendants of Seth and

prove the universally of the flood. let

Accidentally Shot.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Nov. A
telephone message from Ringgold, a
small place in this county, near this
city, announces that Miss Jennie Sen.
seny shot her sister Mrs. j B. Senseny
who lives at Montgomery Mills, with a
pistol. The shooting was accidental
as the pistol was lying where it could
be easily gotten hold OF on account Of
so many thieves which now infest that
neighborhood and arms are always left
in charge of ladies when the male
members of families are absent, fol
them to protect themselves and prop
erty, and it was while handling the
weapon that the accident occurred. II
was not stated whether the wound is
fatal or not.
