THE Nashville Herald seems to
be having rather a Lonesome time
of it championing the local griev-
ances Of the Electric Street Rail
road Company Of Nashville. The
State press is almost unanimous in
opposing any measurethat is calcu-
lated to ieopardize the development
of Tennessee's resources.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

farmers Of Tennessee excellent
praoticalservice by enacting road
law based upon tho plan suggest
eel by Prot. 0. FL. LANDRETH, Of
the Vanderbilt University, whohas
carefully watched the results of
road laws In other States and has
prohted from the practical exper-
iments of men who have for years
given the matter of road building
their undivided attention. Legis-
lation upon this subject Of roads is
an imperative necessity, Rapid
and, less expensive transit for the
country is one Of the pressing needs
of the hour in this State. A reform
10 needed, and the assembly must
beginit. The lawmakers who sup
ply this need will earn the public
gratitude,

Some opposition to the removal
Of the penitentiary from the city
limits of Nashville was expected,
but notfrom the Nashville papers,
as has been limited at by the Nc
Minnville Standard, which is Of the
opinion that, while the people Of
Nashville would like to have the
penitentiary removed from the city
limits, should the assembly take
steps looking to its removal to some
other county Of the State the Nash
vile papers would objectvigorous-
ly. However, it is not supposed
that the. assembly will consult the
wishes of the Nashville papers if
that honorable body deems it wise
and expedient to remove the pen
itentiary and locate it outside Of
Davidson County.

eightmonths' continuous schooling

Voice from Nevada.

The secretary of the state of Nevada has written tn T. G. Norris of Flag staff, in response to an inquiry regard ing the feeling of the people of that state regarding their own condition under statehood. The letter is pub lish.d in the Democrat from which we take the following extract:
 Nevada has little cause to complain or oi being complained of. She hoe . very small indebtedness, at snI G per cent interest, pays cash for eT sry- thing she wants, has better credit to- day in San Francisco than her big sister, California Our assessable property is S3O .OOO.OOO Our population is small, only about 45,000, but if there any oi our people who desire a territorial go"s E:H:ens they arg to be found at Reno. in the Insane asylum, nowhere else. We are abundanIly able to run state government don't need any sympathy, AND WON'T HAVE IT. Your Opposers Of Statehood had better 'illustrate' with some other state, New York or Pennsylvania for instance, where corrupt rings and trusts bear rule"

Daugias-Wiiiiams.

A most brilliant and happy event occurred on Wednesday evening, Nov. Huh, at the residence of Lewis Vii Hams, Bisbee, when his only daughter Josalee, was welded to James Stewart Douglass, oldest son of Mir. James Douglass. president O: the Copper Queen Con. Mining Co.
 The large parlors were most pro- fusely and artistieally decorated with flowers and tropical plants. In the main parlor beautiful altar of flow CTS had been erected, over which were suspendel floral designs, including the monogrsm Of the bride and groom and date.
 The wedding march from Lohengrin was rendered on the piano by Miss Reed of Detroit, as the bridal party entered, the bride leaning on the arm Of her father, and preceded by Hattie and Bessie Reed, two little cousins of the bride. each carrying a basket of Marschal Niel roses.
 The ceremony wac performed by Rt. Rev J. NJ. Kendrick, Bishop of New Mexico and Arizona. in the pres- ence of about fifty invited guests.
 The bride wore A gown of cream white satin. eR traias, trimmed with rare old laces, veil, crown of orange blossoms, beautiful diamond neck lace with diamond and pearl pendant, and carried a bouquet of white roses
 No sooner had the bishop pronoun- eed the words which made the happy pair one, than the Bisbee brass band, stationed on the lawn, struck up a lively air whicn was continued whilst the congratulations and best wishes of the friends present were being cor dially expressed.
 Presents numerous and most costly |, l in silent language gave certain token of the high esteem in which the con- trscting parties are held.
 At II o'clock after a lunch had been served, the evenings festivities were of necessity brought to a close. as the bridal party were to leave for California on a special train which was in waiting.
 As the party boarded the train, there was scene of widest enthus- iasm. Showers of rice were deluged upon them. The band played; bells rang; whistles blew, and cheer after cheer went up from the crowd of as- emGled citizens, repeatel with in- creased vigor after the bridegroom's speech. Liie's j0urney for them is surely most happily begun.

A CLASH.
An Acre of Fun Enjoyed bv
 an Audience of One,

Had the PRosPEcToR not been awake last night, it's readers would have lost an interesting item. Every une in this section of Arizous is ac- qusirted with the story of the China man who was shot by Apaches in Sonora and brought to Tombstone for treatment; how he fingered between life and death for weeEs, and recover ed sufficiently to get out of the hos pital. pr. GoOdfrllow has been taking care of him; has operated upon his jaw, which one of the Apache bullets cnt of a portion of. The nervy Chinaman fought for his life at the battle of Cananea, and scattered the reds.
 He was also victorious in the battle ot Tombstone" today where the more formidable weapons of civilized strife "the law" Was invoked against him. The Chinaman has been in charge Of the Cananea mines and smelter for four years. He has due nin for his services in defending the property, S2, 800, otherwise he is worth nothing but a small pouch of tobacco and d bunch of cigarette papers.
 Last night Deputy Marshal Shilliam arrested him and took him before U. $. Commissioner Swain. Dr. Ham ilton, who has fallen heir to the title of good Samaritan toward the China man since Dr. Goodfellow left, accom- panied him to the commissioner office. The case was postponed till this noon. At l2 o'clock there were present Deputy Marshal Sh'llism, 1 Commissioner Swain, and a represen- , tatiye Of the PRoSPECToR, and the ac- cused.

At SchteGrlfn Hall.

The house was crowded last night and the audience was an sppreciative one. In fact, an announcement that the Sunday School children are to give an entertainment with Mrs. Macnesi to train them is always sufficient to secure success. and standing room only.
 Ralph Smith as the magician in the first part, acted his part well in a most laughable little comedy with Charley Stillwell, Ionis Ecrleston, Hugo Langpaap and Hudson Eccles- ton as had boys.
 "Tbe eight little waves" were eight little girls dressed alike and acting as one body m their gestures, and were heartily applsnded and brought out second time.
 Little Bruce Macneal as the careful messenger who had been sent to market, kept the audience in a roar with his positive assurance that he had been sent for various unknown quantities, such as "a dozen of new . layed jam"
 Miss Fancher appeared for the first time before a Tombstone audience, and was warmly greeted. As plan ist the young lady surprised those who had not heard her previously, and her playing was a feature of the evenings entertainment.
 Fred Herrera was received, as he always is, with an encore and a spon- isneous outburs; of applause.
 Alice Crsble pleased all with & song, which she was obliged to repeat and earned the plaudits of every one n the sudien ce.
 Moonshine Castle was a very pretty play in which the costumes were unique and very pretty. Laura Crahle as Cicely and Lord Malaport by Master Dick Wood were the principal charsc- ters. Ciceiy was transported to the moon and made a queen but the die; Of cold climate did not agree with her and she was brought back to earth again, as was the audience, which had spent half ho1r in the moon among the stars in s most delightful trance.
 To Mrs. HSrwood Is due the train- ing Of the "eight little waves; to Mrs. Arnold the chorus and to Mrs Nu- gent the task of attending to the costumes.
 The master hand of Mrs. Macneal was seen through the entire enter tainment and reflected additional credit upon that lady's patience and executive ability.

Society Gossip

A vegetable grower who was born in the h0wery kingdom and has had a ranch on the San Pedro, became in fatuated with yvung Mexican girl in Tombstone. He hSs accumulated a couple of thousand dollars and is de- sirious of starting store in Nogales. Yesterday he deposited sl.O00 in the Bank of Tombstone, and told the young Mexican woman that she should have the money if she would marry him. The story leaked out, and an attempt was made to scare her into accepting the money and marrying the Chinaman by threaten ing her arrest for violating the Ed munds act. This, she refused to do, saying that she had never had more than speaking acquaintance with the Chinamsn, and would not have him for himself or his money.
 Whether the Chinamsu was at the bottom of the threats, or others who had designs on the thousand dollars, has not been cleared up, but probably can be if the authorities care enough about the case to investigate it.
