BRlcevILLE MINES TROUBLE.
The Inspectors Enjoined by the Court.
Free Miners Determined.


NASHVILLE, Aug. %. -Thest board
of tprison inspectors have been re-
strained from enforcing their order for
the removal of the convicts from Brice-
VILE Judge McAlister granted an in
junction to tl1at effect, but refused to
enJoin the inspectors from enforcing
the order that the convicts shall not be
worked In the mines, on the ground that
the mines are not in the condition re-
quired by law. Mr.. J. E. Goodwin,
lessee of the convicts at Briceville, said
that he would go to Briceville and inn
mediately have the mines put into the
condition required by law, and when
this is done. there can, of course. be no
other legal reason for their removal
The ground upon which the inspectors
ordered the removal was that there was
only one opening to the mine, that it
was filled with foul air and had no
means of ventilation, that convicts had
to work in several inches of water and
that the roof was about to fall. The
lessees charged that this was only sub
terfuge to help the state out of an I'M
pleasant situation, and prevent the hu
initiation of having the law overridden
by the free miners who threatened to
forcibly remove the convicts, even if
blOodshed was necessary. The lessee,
before making application for the in
junction, formally offered to put the
mine in a satisfactory condition if al
lowed fifteen days, but the board re-
fused to grant his request. If it were
not that the legislature is to convene
next Monday to consider the whole pen
itentiary lease question, and the free
miners expect relief at its hand, it is
thought that they would again forcibly
remove the convicts from Briceville.

GUTHRIE, o. t., Aug. 2S.-A move
ment is on foot to colonize with negroes
the Indian lands which are soon to be
thrown open to general settlement. 1t
has its origin at Langston City, the
metropolis of negro settlement not far
from here. Agents, $50 in number, of
the Langston Colonization society, are
now laboring in the southern states to
pursuade negroes to come to the new
country. Hundreds of negroes have
already gone to Langston and have
been cared for by colored friends until
the time for invasion arrives. Many
negroes are arriving daily, and by the
time the lands are proclaimed open to
settlement, it is believed thousands of
colored people will have arrived here.

The following is the report of the
Grand Jury for the August term of Cir
cut Court, after session of three weeks,
during which time the body assiduously
labo!-ed for the county's welfare, and as a
result much was accomplished which will
tend toward the desired object. The
jury was discharged On Saturday last,
the 22nd:
Hon. II. e. Speake, Judge Of the 18Th Ju-
dicial Circuit:
We, the Grand Jury for Madison coun-
~, at the August term 1891, i'll compli-
ance with your Honor's full and faithful
charge, investigated as much as possible
all the indictable offenses committed in
this county for the past twelve months
to which our attention has been called.
In our examination of the county Jail
we found the sanitary condition good,
bat would suggest a better distribution
of the prisoners, as we found confined in
one cell eight, which is too many for
c omfOrt this warm weather. A bill-Of-
ia re kept by one of the U. S. prisoners
for each day, from June 81 to July 81.
revealed rather too much sameness;
therefore we would recommend more va
riety in feeding them. About the only
complaint we heard concerning their
food was 1--WE never get any coffee"
The books of the officials so far as we
were able to judge, have been neatly and
correctly kept, VIZ: the books of the
Probate Judge, Circuit Clerk, Sheriff,
Tax Assessor, Tax Collector, Treasurer
and Register in Chancery.

county's finances, as shown by the Treas
urer's books:

Mrs. Mary A. Lvermore lectured in the
Unitarian Church Friday evening uponlthe
lecturer spoke upon the progress in the
arts and sciences which this latest quarter
in the nineteenth century has witnessed.
Mrs. livermore considered that we stand
only in the vestibule of the greater dis
eoveries which will come with opening of
the fast approaching twentieth century.
She referred to the marvellous inventions
of Edison and the greater wonders he vet
promises us. A large share of Mrs. Liver
mores disquisitions were expended in
comments on the advance made by
women in all the various directions
hitherto restricted to the other sex. The
lecturer considered a prime necessity is
that her sex must give greater attention to
and clothing ligatures must be given up.

CHAMBERS THE NEW DIRECTOR.
Mayor Harrington Appoints the Ex-
Councilman to the Street and Sewer
Commission.

Mayor Harrington Thursday morningap
pointed Samuel II. Chambers, a director
of the Street and Sewer Department of
this city. The appointment is made to fill
the vacancy created by the expiration of
the term Of James Murray, which occurs
on April 1st.
Mr.. Chambers is at present employed in
the wood working department of the Pull
man Palace Car works, following his trade,
He has represented the Seventh ward in
City Council for two years, and was a
clerk to City Auditor Ball and clerk to
Tax Collector Moody During his incum-
bency as city councilman Mr.. Chambers
created something of 2 sensation by charg-
ing the Gaynor Company with buying
votes of city councilmen to have the city
purchase its police signal system. He
further defied the Gaynor Company to sue
him for slander, stating he would like to
get them into court to expose their senial-
ity The company, however never brought
suit, and Mr.. Chambers kept his lips sealed
as to the alleged sale.
Chambers is epublican-stalwart
and is of the same political faction as
Mayor Harrington, and in return will
probably further the interests of the
mayors aspirations of the city solicitor

The salary of the office is $500, and the
board, after April list, will comprise two
Republicans and one Democrat, a reversal

TIE MYSTERY SoLKED.
Why the Interest on Certificate of Loan
Stock Has Not Iseen pnia.

4
When Councilman Beae arose in his
place in the Council chamber Thursday
| night and offered q resolution instructing
the city solicitor to proceed at once to col
lect the face of note, with ten years in
terest, in all amounting to Sl,l20, which
had been executed by the Mechanics Loan
Association, there was more than one per-
son present who looked quizzically in the
direction of Mr.. Baugh. But he made no
satisfactory explanation of this summary
proceeding on the part of Council. He
simply said that thus far the city treasurer
had not received the interest IN to the
present time for the period named.
1t was to ascertain the exact condition of
affairs in this respect that representative
of The GAZETTE called on City Treas
urer Griffith on Friday morning. He was
very courteous and exhibited the docu-
ment over which the trouble arose. II is a
certificate of loan stock executed by the
Mechanics Loan Association, bearing date
February 18th, 1886, and PAYABLE to the
mayor and Council of Wilmington as trus-
tees of the Elizabeth Turner bequest. The
treasurer corroborated MIR. Baugh's state
ment that the interest on the certificate
was two years behind, but could give no
reason why it had not been paid. The
officers of the loan association had been
repeatedly notified by him, both in person
and by letter, that it was due, but no at
tention had been paid to it so far as he
knew.
Secretary W. j. Morrow of the loan as
sociation, was next seen and he said to the
reporter that the interest on the loan stock
i'll question had invariably been regularly
ordered paid each quarter, and he did not
know why the treasurer had failed to do
so. He suggested that Treasurer McAIena-
min be seen about it.
Mr.. McMenamin was found at his board
ing house. No. 70S French street, on Friday
afternoon. When the facts as here given
We're related to him, and inquiry made as
to whether he had paid the interest in his
capacity as treasurer of the association for
the time specified, he replied that he had
not, When asked why he had not made
the regular interest payments as soon as
ordered by the association, he said it was
because of certain business transaction
between him and the city treasurer He
had held back the public money, or rather.
the. interest on a public bequest, which in
reality belonged to the poor of the city to
be expended for fuel (sliGh are the terms
Of Mrs. Turner's bequest) in the hope thai
by doing so Mr. Griffith would recoup him
on account of a certain private transaction.
Mr. McMenamin declined to say what the
nature of this transaction was He con-
Guided by stating that he would now nay
1ver the interest in a few days. He sutd
he could do it once II il were necessary.
and soon after the reporters talk with hiii
he called on City Treasurer Grifith aud
gave him check for the two yc.,s'
interest due on the loan certificate, ,amuu..t-
ng to Sl20.
