The st. Louis Chronicle, in quite il
lengthy article, brings to the front
the name of William II. OBryan as
the Irish candidate for secretary OF
state, and says that the Irish willnot
demand the first place on the Demo
cratic state ticket, but they propose
to push the name of Mr.. O'Bryan for
secretary of state. If Mr.. O'Bryan
is to be groomed as candidate for
any office within the gift OF the peo-
pie himself and his friends should ask
for it upon the grounds of his Ameri-
can citizenship, and his fitness for
the position, and not because he is
an Irishman. Such claim as that
is out of the question, and we have "a
better opinion of the Democracy OF
Missouri than to think it would be
guilty of placing any one Oh its tick
ct for any position simply because he
is an Irishman or because he belongs
to any other nationality.

country have suffered severely from
the effects of the new tariff this can
not be said of Lancashire. Inquiry
among the principal firms in Manches-
ter, who directly or indirectly may be
said to represent Lancashire in this
matter, reveals that the Mckinley
tariff has produced no alarming results
in the Manchester district. The prin-
cipal reason is that very small part
of the exports of Lancashire cotton
goods went to the United States before
the new tariff came into operation, the
exact proportion being only four per
cent. The trade in the coarser cotton
fabrics had been practically lost before
the Mckinley tariff was made.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 9,-Dennis Nc
Carthy, a notorious desperate, who
has miraculously escaped the gallows
thus far, is under arrest for shooting
his wife through the heart. Mccarthy
is an electrician moterman by occupa-
ton, and returned Saturday last from
st. Louis, in which city he has been
employed for several months past.
He came up town Monday and
bought pistol, Returning to his
home about Z o'clock, he walked into
the room where his wife was sitting,
and, without word, fred at the as
tonished wowan, the ball entering the
breast and penetrating the heart.
She sprang up with convulsive
struggle and fell in the doorway upon
her face.
Mccarthy walked up to the pros
trate woman, and exclaiming, "You
tried to fool me, did your" fired two
more bullets into her back.
The screams OF the other occupants
of the house brought the police, and
the murderer quietly surrendered, say
ing he had killed her because she
flirted with other men.
When he arrived at the Jail the
danger of his situation seemed ,to
dawn upon him and to the reporters
he vehemently declared that he was
crazy when he murdered his wife
Said he.
"All my family are crazy at times.
went up town this afternoon to look fol
work. Later bought pistol, and
that is tie last thing l remember until
found myself in Jail"
The family Of which the murderer
is member, is famous in the crimina
annals of Louisville. Ten years age
his brother Tim murdered his mother
but was acquitted on the ground of in
sanity and died in the Insane Asylum
Dennis Mccarthy has cut or shot a
least dozen men, but as all recovered
he has managed to escape the peni
tentiary.
Last January he was walking dowr
the street and saw two men drinking
at street pump. He ordered then
to quit, declaring that no gentleman
would drink at a public pump. They
| paid no attention to him, and he at
tackled them with knife, cutting thu
throats of both. To the surprise o
the doctors they recovered, and Nc
Carthy was released. He is not be
! lieved to be insane, but simply want
to be considered bad man,

HickeY's Hearing Postponed.

James Hickey's case came up before
E. G. Osborn, ESQ., for preliminary
hearing yesterday afternoon, but was
postponed until Saturday at 10 o'clock,
at which time it may be postponed
again. The condition of the woman
will decide the time for preliminary
hearing. OF course the main object is
to consider whether the case is bail
able. She still fingers, and all day
yesterday there was no perceptible
change either for the better or worse.
1t may well be repeated that the
chances for her recovery are decidedly
slim, although such a thing, is, at this
writing, not impossible.

To Cranberry.

We, the city editor, in company
with Mrs. Rebecca Armstrong, of
Peru, Ind, had a pleasant trip to
Cranberry and return yesterday. 1t
was Mrs. Armstrong; first trip over
the E. T, & w. N. @. railroad, and al
though she has seen much fine scenery
she is unable to tell of any more grand
than that OF the Doe River gorge. The
Cranberry mines are interesting and
worthy of ones time and attention.
A trip and return in a
single day does not give time
for both dinner and stroll through
the mines. We chose the former and
undertook to do the latter as kind of
dessert. Had it not been that Capt.
Miller was kind enough t., be on the
lookout for us we would have been left
at the mines.
The Cranberry Iron Company are
doing some good work up there Their
furnace is in blast all the time, and
they are turning out fine quality OF

Besides the ore which they smelt
! they send quite a great deal to other
points, and to this end the drills are

SUMMER RESORTS.

giving Fountains.
In estimating the numberless natural
advantages Of this region Of Upper
East Tennessee, one of the most i'm.
portant has been overlooked to a very
great extent, and that is the abundance
of its mineral waters and their easy
accessibility from the lines of travel.
No country on the face Of the globe is
more highly blessed with health-giving
fountains. They are to be found all
along the foot hills and in almost every
mountain gorge. Capital invested in
improving these waste places would be
certain of handsome dividends. This
region of country would have been con-
verted long since into one grand san
itarium had the superior quality and
number of its mineral springs been ad-
vertised to the world. They are found
for the most part in the primeval
forest, and building timber and stone
are right at hand. The main cost of
erecting hotels would be avoided, and
the buildings themselves need not be
on the style of the Saratoga and Cape
May palaces, where the Plutocrats
gather to spend their time and money
in sinful and hurtful designations. The
adjacent country is generally rich
river land that would furnish an
abundance of supplies. AT such re-
sorts, style would not be all
that man would get for his money,
and the health.seeker would find drink
and food, and air that would start the
pulse to throbbing anew and bring
back lusty and buoyant life These
resorts, when once discovered, would
not fail to attract thousands il
search OF health, ease with pleasure
and romantic surroundings. The
mountains in their rugged grandeur
with their fantastic shapes, grim soil
tudes and frowning ramparts, have :
weird enchantment that no one car
resist, and when life-renewing foun
tain, cold as polar snow, comes bub
bling, laughing and sparkling from ev
cry covert of rock and fern and flower
the charm is complete and irresistible
1t is strange to us that the "boomers
have not sought out these places of ma
ture's sport and delight, and made in
vestments so sure of immediate, ant
handsome returns. Those engaged il
presenting the schedule of our attrac
tions and advantages to the notice O
the capitalist and investor should omi
this matter no longer. We are sur
that it is a big card and will win tn
stake. In few years, a hundred sum
mer resorts in this regiol would nc
cause a ruinous competition. 1t woul
bring wealth and notoriety. We ca
be the sanitarium just as easily as tn
steel centre Of the country. A littl
time, trouble and money spent, an
the thing is accomplished.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-In the name OF

cabled announcement that labor agi-

shares OF the New York Central and

"After the strike of last year," he
said, II was selected as orator by the

In my address to them | declared the
position of the New York Central, and

to organized labor. We recognize the
right of workingmen to organize

THE PHONE.
Let us AgitateS System For The
PIucky City.

Plucky City.
Is there anything wrong in talking
telephone system for Johnson City =?
Talk is the first step toward the ac-
complishment of an object.
If a telephone saves time it saves
money. The only question is, will it
save sufficient time to overbalance the
cost OF the messages2 If it be true
that it will, then it ought to be estab-
lished. 1t seems that in town, scat
tered as Johnson City is, three miles
up and down the valley, a telephone
system would be most desirable and
economical.
Save time time is money. 1t is use
less to walk or hire transportation to
Carnegie, when for nickel you could
have immediate communication on
many little points of business, and in
addition to saving the travelling ex-
pense, there would he saved time,
which is important above all else.
In connection with other progress
which we are making, let us reflect on
the advantages Of the phone, and il
we consider that it is really saving
let us agitate the matter until we gel
such a system as our business may re
quire.

AN APOLOGY.
Daniel Boone Apologies for practl.
cal Joke.

According to Judge Patterson's
dream, which he has just related to the
readers of THE COMET, Daniel Boone's
spirit was not altogether pleased with
our article relative to the big sassafras
stump. Shucks, that's the way with
spirit, when you get to telling truth on
it you are threatened with vengeance.
Ever since we have been in the news
paper business we have been telling on
all the boys who had to appear before
the recorder. We have been no re-
specter of persons, and we can't see
why we should be partial to spirits
and we can't see why a spirit should
take up for a man who died long ago
from relapse of typhoid fever, brought
on by the burning of a sassafras tree
in an old fashioned fire place at the in
stigation Of some women folks.
Now, that spirit, said we, may cause
us some little inconvenience, but we
are going to stick to the truth as we
have it. There was rattling sound
on the tin roofed veranda, near
our window, last night, and
it came nearer, and something
seemed to put its frightful form in the
window. What on earth could we do?
We knew that Boone had threatened
us. We closed our eyes and fixed for
death; meanwhile the spirit came
nearer. We wanted to say something.
but even feared to draw a good breath.
Finally, after we had laid so long in
one position as to become almost para
lyzed, we turned, when the spirit said
in soft, sweet tone, "Where is that
reporter OF the Watauga?" To be
serious we replied, 81 that speak unto
thee am he" Here we shuddered and
waited the final result, when the
spirit spoke up and said ~ am Daniel

BOUND FOR WASHINGTON.
ElizabethtOn Sends a Committee to
Meet With the Town Co.

The people Of Elizabethton are still
hopeful that the Cooperative Town
Company may yet locate with them.
In fact, for some time the company
have had Elizabethton under fair con-
sideration, and it seems that there are
some important reasons for their giving
it paramount consideration.
But, whatever may be said, Eliza
bethton is still in the ring, and will
make big effort'to win in the fight ;
for, indeed, it is fight. Starts Noun
tain and other points arc contesting
for it.
Yesterday, in answer to urgent tele-
grams directed to Col. G. P. Toncray,
committee left Elizabethton for
Washington City. The committee was
composed of the following gentlemen
Col. G. P. Toncray, Judge w. P. Dun
gan, DR.. Hunter, DR.. Alexander and
w. R. Emert, Esq.
Following the instruction of the
kilograms, these gentlemen took with
them the deeds of the Elizabethton
property proposed for the town site.
In an interview with Col. Toncray
we learned that their going to Wash
ington does not signify absolutely that
the great company will locate at
Elizabethton,
1t means, however that there is a
good chance for them, one of so much
importance as to claim their presence
Col. Toncray says they are going to
make an earnest fight for the concern,
and he is confident that their claims
will be given due consideration. HI
was unable to express any idea as tC
when the matter would be settled. He
thinks, however, if it is not decided ir
favor of his place at their present
meeting, it may remain undecided fol
six months, and, after all, may posi-
bly, find rest in the great and only
Watauga valley on earth.

A Big William on the Flv.

A gentleman living at Conkling
named Starnes was out last Monday
hunting squirrels with shotgun. The
game was plenty, his luck was good
and the sport exciting. He had in
advertently put twenty dollar bill
into his vest pocket with his paper
wads. In his excitement and haste to
load he got hold of his William and
rammed it down his gun. He did not
discover his costly mistake until he
had fired and small piece OF the frag-
mentary William fell at his feet. He
found several little bits, but not enough
to restore it tothat originality necessa-
ry to make it pass in the exchanges of
trade. Mr.. Starnes is a poor man,
hardly able to lose so much money in
such careless way.
