Their Opening.

The spring opening of Messrs.
Weitzel & O'Donnell, which took
place on Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday of this week, was great sue
cess. All the latest and handsomest
styles of spring and summer dress
goods and wraps were displayed to
the best advantage by the tasteful
fingers of Mr.. Will. O'Donnell, and
the store presented an enchanting
scene. The ladies in great numbers,
from both country and city, filled
the house each day and the sales
were very satisfactory indeed.
The stock is unusually large and well
selected and the lady who could not
find something in that handsome
display to admire was exceedingly
hard to please. The young and enter
prising gentlemen composing the
firm have made an immense hit and
we predict that their spring trade
will be larger than ever before,

superintendent.

Mr.. James Nicol, formerly of this
city and brother of Mr.. David
Nicol, of the firm Of DUNCAN &
Nicol, has been appointed assistant
superintendent of the Lexington
Cemetery. The Cemetery Company
offered to pay the expenses of Mr.. G..
s. Bell, the aged superintendent, to
Scotland if he would 60 to that
country and select an assistant, but
he said it was useless to go 80 far
away when one could be found at
home, in the person of Mr.. Nicol,
who was in every way qualified for
the position, and at his suggestion he
was appointed. Mr.. Nicol is an ex-
perienced landscape gardener, al
though since his residence in Lexing-
ton has been in the lumber business,
and we know will make good and
faithful officer.

A Mastery Argument.

Judge VIM. Lindsay delivered the
speech of his life on Tuesday even
ing, in behalf Of Frankfort, before
the Capital Location Committee Of
the Constitutional Convention. 1t
abounded in wit, humor, ridicule,
solid facts, and unanswerable argu-
ment, interspersed with flights of
oratory. 1t was listened to with the
closest attention by the members OF
the Convention and large audience
of ladies and gentlemen, and all
speak of it in terms of highest
praise. Louisville and Lexington's
claims to the Capital were handled
without gloves and the wind
taken out of the sails of the at
torneys for those cities in great shape.
Hon. Henry L. Stone, attorney
for the Louisville Commercial
Club. undertook to answer the
Judge on Wednesday evening, but
his remarks were dull, stale, fiat and
improbable in comparison, though
Mr.. Stone made a good fight for a
poor cause.

Will Build 1t This Season.

The work Of constructing lock and
dam No. 6 on the Kentucky river
will certainly be commenced as soon
as the water gets down to such a
stage as will admit of the work being
gotten under way. The orders have
been issued by Major d. H. Lock
wood, the U. S. Engineer in charge
of the department, to that effect, and
Capt. R.. S. Burnett, the resident
engineer, will proceed to execute
them as soon as possible. The stone
for the lock walls and backing for
the dam are all on the ground and
when the work is commenced it will
be pushed along rapidly.

His Last Sermon.

Rev. Father Lambert Young, who
has been the pastor Of the Church of
the Good Shepherd in this city for the
past twenty-one years. will preach
his last sermon to his congregation
next Easter and will in short
time leave for the home Of his child
hood in Holland, where he expects to
spend the remainder Of his days.
There will doubtless be large con-
gregation present to hear Father
Young take leave of his flock, as he
has made a host of friends outside of
his own denomination.

Young Prisoners.

Three prisoners were received at
the Penitentiary on Wednesday from
Estill county, which from their ap-
pearance were less than ri years of
age, the youngest being only about
fifteen. One of them got life SEN
tence for murder, another 21 years
for the same offense and the boy sew
en- years for murder. 1t was a sad
sight to see three such young crimi-
nails marched along hand-cuffed to-
gether.

Fenced Up the Track.

Some twenty years ago the late
Geo. B. Macklin had "spur" track
built from side track in the L. & N.
Railroad yards into. his coal yard,
which was used jointly by him and
the railroad company. Since his
death the coal yard has been closed
up and the railroad alone has been
using the track, and the executrix of
the estate thought she was entitled
to some remuneration, as the track
was built upon ground belonging to
the estate. A demand was made
upon the railroad for compensation,
which was refused, and on Tuesday
night a substantial plank fence was
built upon the line of the Macklin
property, by order of the executrix,
and most of the track taken in.
Wednesday morning the railroad
officials undertook to bunt the fence
down with the switch engine and a
freight car, claiming the ground upon
which the track lay by right of pos
session. AS the freight car was near
ly as much damaged as the fence in
the bunting process, force Of hands
was set to work and the fence torn
away. The matter will likely be
taken into the courts and the rights
of the parties settled by law suit.

Nitrate Of Soda for Strawberries.

Orchard and Garden quotes approvingly the
following observations by Joseph Harris on
the use of nitrate soda:
The strawberry grower knows the value of
water III he will Try nitrate Of soda on straw
berries be will find il wonderful, etficacious.
The effect of nitrate OF soda on strawberries
in the dry climate OF the United States Is very
beneficial. Ii not only doubles or trebles the
yield, but the Strawberries are larger and
handsome. and consequently command much
higher price III market.
No ordinary amount Of manure Will produce
so great an effect. for the reason that the
plants grow and form their fruit early in the
season. The nitrate of soda furnishes the
plant with nitric acid before the nitrogen of
the manure can be converted into this essen
tial ingredient Of plant food
A few years ago we published n statement
in regard to the astonishing effect of large
dressing Of nitrate Of soda on an old straw
berry bed The bed had been neglected and
was full of grass and weeds. At that time we
had never used nitrate of soda ON strawberries
and did not know but that il might injure
them. The bed we alludc 10 was so run out
and worthless that we did not care whether
the nitrate killed the plants or not. We gave
the bed two or three heavy dressings. sown
broadcast, early in the spring and a few weeks
later. Instead Of killing the plants, the nj
trate made them grow so vigorously that with
little assistance from sharp hoe and by
pulling out the large weeds, the strawberries
killed out nearly all the grass, and We had a
remarkably fine crop Of fruit. Since then we
have used nitrate OF ,oda and superphosphate
on AL our strawberry plantations, and find
this drsssinG Tar more effective end esspomi-
cal than ordinary manure.

Der are issued every year.

supposed il would be. II already appears
that perhaps from onc-sixih 10 one-ffth of the

We estimate that about 225, 900 are already re-
corded in favor and about One-half that num-
Der against the measure.

the subject of dcaconesses. The majority OF
the committee to which WAS referred the ques-
ton Of approving the overture allowing dea-
coneSsss to be elected and installed have re-

their objections is that the admission of
women as deaconesScs would logically involve
their admission to the eldership and 10 the

With the exception of the Grande Rue

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Work Progressing With Reasonable
PrOInptitI1de.

Work Progressing With Reasonable
Promptitude.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Dr. Donoso NAL
iano of Riyas, Nicaragua, has been in
town few days. He is enthusiastic
about the big canal. ''A great deal of
work has been DONE" he says, land the
company is giving every promise of be-
ing serious in the matter, and of intend
ing to prosecute its great task with
reasonable promptitude. An important
piece Of work that it has carried far on to
completion is the building of the break
water at Greytown haroor, the material
for which is to be brought from Ochan.
The canal at San Juan is an accomplished
fact for the distance of half mile. Three
or four dredges are hard at work deepen
ing, widening and lengthening it. The
company has done good work on the bar
in the entrance to the Bay of San Juan
del Norte, having dredged it fully to the
depth Of twelve or fourteen feet. The
work OF clearing the line from Espinal to
Brito, the Pacific entrance to the canal,
will be concluded, if the average rate of
progress be maintained, about next sum-
mer. A great deal mas also been done on
the Atlantic side in the way Of clearing.
Altogether, l should estimate that the
co,npany employs about $50 men steadily.
These labOrers are principally natives
and Jamaicans, though many natiOnali-
ties are represented III the number
Their pay is about SIS or $50 q month.
There has been little or no sickness
among the Americans. I do not remem-
Der OF hearing OF u single death among
them for causes derogatory to the good
name OF the country as regards climate" )"
