The travel and tonnage be-
tween Bolivar and the Western
Hospital is so great that it would
not be bad Idea tn build dummy
railroad connecting both places.
About one car load IF coal per
week il used at the Hospital, and
must he hauled III wagons from the.
depot over a muddy and difficult
road, particularly IL winter. A
dummy line, with gage correspon
ding with that of the railroad.
would enable the state to,sdeliver
the coal ON the cara right at the
eugiue room ON the Hospital
grounds, thus saving a great deal
10 hauling and other expenses.
The Illinois Central Railroad
Company is the largest tax payer
in Hardeman County. Last week
the pany paid into the hands OF
Trustee Savage their county,
school and highway tax for 1890,
amounting to $4077. Ia addition
TO this the state collects for state
revenue on their property IN Har-
deInan County snm almost
as large. The assessed value of the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad
property aln Hardeman County,
though not so great as that of the
Illinois Central, runs up IN the
hundreds of thousands, and these
two great lines pay no inconsiderab!e
part Of our taxes. We wish there
were half a dozen more traversing
our county.

The legislature adjourned Sat-
urday to meet again OH February
11lh. Nearly all the members,
save the committees on Char table
Institutions, have returned home
to consult their constituents in re-
gard to questions which are expec-
ted to arse concerning the welfare
OF the commonwealth. The most
important legislation will come up
after the reassembling of the gen.
eral-assembly. The removal of the
penitentiarY, the reduction of the
fees of county officers and coal oil
inspectors and the calling of a con-
stitutiOnal convention are all mat
tiers of importance that demand
the attention of the legislators.

DURING the great stringency

OURING the great strlngehcy III
the money market, assignments by
merchants were daily occurrences.
Many who were doing business in
counties more fertile than ours have
retired from commercial circles.
1t is with a degree of pleasure that
we refer to The fact that all of the
merchants Of Hardeman County
passed through the crisis with but
one failure cbropicled. Such state
OF affairs is proof conclusive that
both the merchants and farmers OF
our county are in a better condition
financially than many who reside
in other parts of the union. Som e
of our farmers are still holding d
part Of Their cotton and some have
recently purchased imp roved farm

the time is not lar distant when our
efforts will be crowned with sue

Master Wilkinson was in the chair. Grand
Chief Park, of the Order of Railway Con-

thusiastic word for the federation. Hon.

Chief Ramsey, of the Railroad telegraph
crs, extended greeting from his order, and
was followed by Senior Vice Grand Garrett
son, of the conductors. Clark, Ramsey
and Garretson termed the expulsion of
trainmen from the supreme council as un
warranted. Grand Secretary Shehan, in
the course of his speech, criticized the atti-
tude of the Trainmen's Journal on the
Northwestern trouble. Editor Rogers de-
manded the floor to refute Shehan's state
ment, but was ruled out with the under
standing that he would be given u hearing
hereafter. The annual reports of the Off

lawyers and stenographer arrived from
Chicago to-day to take the depositions Of
William Courtenay and others in the case
of Pierre Wibaux against Nelson Morris.
the great packer. Mr.. Wlbaux is also here.
II will be remembered that Morris, anti
cipating a rise in the beef market, bought
up in the spring of 1890, through Cour-
tenay, large numbers of cattle in the north
west on contracts for future delivery at
prices much in advance of those that had
prevailed for several years preceding.
Wibaux sold to him. The corn crop was a
failure, the market was glutted
and the price of cattle was still
down. Morris endeavored to get out
of his contract and the cattlemen took the
money paid into the local banks to bind the
bargains, with the exception of Wibaux
who demanded a fulfillment of the con-
tract. He brought his cattle ready for de-
livery to tho railroad, where they were re-
fused by Morris agents. The amount in
volved now is $85,000.

sets of double harnesses are gone. There
were 5000 bushels of oats in the barn, of
which about one-third are burned.
The thirty-six men who were just pre-
pairing for days work are entitled to
much credit for their valiant work. Not

as though they were trained. Two Of them
picked up knives and went down each side
of the barn. cutting the halters, each of
the other men going to the team he was in
the habit of driving. But the fire burned
so fercely they had but little time to work

LONDON, Oct 5.-Nswspapers here de-
nounce the coroner fer keeping secret the
deposition taken at the inquest as to the
cause of the death of Lydia Miller, or Man
ton, the actress who committed suicide last
week, Considerable interest is being taken
in the case. At the inquest last Saturday
Lord Charles Montague, brother of the
duke of Manchester, testified to having
been on very intimate terms with the de-
ceased. Since the inquest mysterious al
lusons have been made in the newspapers
to certain high parsonage, understood
to be Prince Albert Victor, the eldest
son of the prince of Wales, who islalso said
to have had intimate relations with the
dead girl. The star says Lord Charles
came forward at the inquest and assumed
the role of a particular friend in order TO
screen another. The coroner to-day still
refuses access to the depositions taken, and
it is openly stated that members of the
coroner's jury were called upon to
sign blank papers instead of the usual
record proceeding. The star says the truth
as to the mystery will never be known and
that it is obvious another inquest has been
hushed up without good cause.
