The New York Symphony Club ap-
peared before large audience in
Music Hall. Such artists as appeared
yesterday deserved the compliment of
a full house. 1t is an organization of
high quality of artistic merit. The
violin playing extraordinary Of Mr..

most enthusiastic appreciation. This
man is no mere violin player. Such
music as came from that vioin was
drawn by hand of yirtuoso powers

The "city fathers" are setting the
BOYS a bad example just now. They
are not dwelling together in that peace
and harmony that should mark the
course of such an august body. The
trouble as we understand it, arose
something on this wise: Mr.. f..
Schwaniger was elected by the Council
to fill out the unexpired term of Mr.
Samuel Turley, resigned. Mr.. Turley
had been elected to serve till July, 1872.
There was an election held in June
for one councilman in each ward, but
as no question had been raised as to
Mr.. Schwaniger's right to hold to the
end of Mr.. Turkeys term, no provision
was made for the election of sue
cessor to him. The contest for the
new councilmen brought on a bitter
fight, and after it was over, the legality
of Mr.. Schwaniger's seat was called
in question. Mr.. S. promptly re-
signed, and the Council, three men,
bers of which would retire in a few
hours, filled the vacancy by electing
Judge II. r. French to seat till July,
1892. An injunction was promptly
by some members of the
Council against his taking seat on
the board. Notice was given that a
motion would be heard by Judge
Morton at Winchester, July l3,
yesterday to dismiss the injunction.
So a number of those interested, and
their attorneys, went down to have
the case tried.
LATER-Judge Morton dissolved the
injunction and granted the plaintiffs
six days in which to make application
to Judge of the Court of Appeals for
its Reinstatement.

ED. MT. STERLING ADVOCATE.
Dear Sir:


Dear Sir:
For the information of your
many readers, and especially the AL
lance brotherhood, / will give a few
of the many good points contained in
the new Constitution, and some of the
benefits the great mass of our people
will receive by ratifying the new in
strument at the election, which l think
they surely will do, as a very large
majority in this vicinity favor its
adoption.
If it is ratified there will be no more
"Con. Cons" 1t abolishes "vest-
pocket" charters; it provides for a
uniform code of laws; it establishes a
secret ballot system, which if properly
carried out in detail by the Legisla-
ture, and executed by the officials,
will completely and effectually stop
corruption at the ballot-box.
1t makes all charters revocable by
the proper authority; whereas, the
present Constitution is silent as the
grave on the subject. Chartered
rights, franchises or privileges, once
granted under the old are beyond the
reach of any legal power in the state
and must remain until those who reap
the profits voluntarily relinquish their
rights, which corporations have never
been known to do in these degenerate
DAYS. The new limits county and
city taxes and thereby will prevent
reckless administration from running
the people, if such should ever happen
to obtain the power to tax. 1t pro-
vides a uniform system of Courts
throughout the State, whereas the
present Constitution is so vague that
there are scarcely two counties in the
entire state that have the same laws
in force, and often different laws and
different courts exist in different parts
of the same county. 1t will stop the
cry of"convict labor against free labor"
by keeping convicts inside the walls.
1t provides that no more counties or
cities can be ruined or made bankrupt
by being taxed to build railroads for
the benefit of. rich corporations. 1t
adds 100000 to the common-school
fund, and if adopted will at the eXpi-
ration of five years, forever settle or
put to rest the "Virginia Land Grants"
and leave us all in the quiet possession
of our homes after that time, $50 far
as those old claims are concerned) and
that will do more for the development
of Eastern KY, and the satisfaction of
the people than anything else that can
be done. 1t will be a greater induce
ment to the Investment of large capt.
tai than all the taxes our people could
afford to pay for the purpose. 1t re-
duces Grand Juries one-tourth, and
saves to the Treasury $l7 900; 1t cuts
off one-half of the Justices of the
Peace, and saves 100000; 1t abolishes
the office of Public Printer, and saves
$4,000, (and thereby touches the
pocket of the Courier-JournaD; 1t
provides for holding the annual cleo
tons all at once, and saves $4,000;
1t restricts the Legislative sessions to

The speed season of 1891 cannot be
said to have fairly commenced until
July lst and yet over fifty trotters
and PAGERS have already been added
to the 2 80 list this year.
The horse that gets fair average
rate of trotting speed with great uni

the average breeder to patronize than
the one which gets only an occasional
top-sawyer.

mass meeting Il was well understood
that there would be violence,
The fact that the call had been Issued
leaked out about midnight and was gen.
orally discussed in the bar rooms. Al
an early hour it was conceded that
there would be an attack on the prison,
and the only question was whether the
authorities would make any effort 70
suppress II. The Mayor did not detain
the police and the Sheriff did not swear
in any deputies to protect the building.
A large portion OF the men who had
promised 10 90 down and capture the
prison were members OF the militia, and
1t was generally understood this morn
ing that in case the Governor called for
the militia to do duty he would fnd no
men ready to serve.
It was also known that in case any
serious resistance was made the mob
had artillery at command which II
would use 10 batter down the gates. 1t
was well understood that the police
weuld not fight TO save the murderers
and would welcome their lynching.

Canal street was held promptly at 10
o'clock. A number Of men among
whom were W. s. Parkerson, John o.

around and around the railing Of the

people within earshot, and they could
be seen struggling, pushing and running
