Southside Show.
Promptly at o'clock tomorrow morning
the big guns of Battery B will boom forth
| the national salute. The Stars and Stripes
will then be hauled to the top of the flag
staff in Schenley Park, and the most magnif-
cent celebration ever given in Pittsburg
will open. Nothing but sudden unfavor-
| able change in the weather or stray spark
in the store of fireworks can prevent the
success of the affair. Mayor Gourley and
Chief Bigelow, who have had most Of the
work to do in getting up the demonstration,
are happy over the immediate prospect of
its success. The programme for the
day and night has been prepared

with prayer, speeches and music. In the
afternoon sports and games Of various kinds

the finest quality will be displayed;
Police arrangements at sehenley Park viii
detailed Captain Dan silvis to command 100
officers distributed all over the place. Part
of them will be mounted. There will also
be 20 detectives in citizens clothes. AL
though it is estimated that loo, 900 people will
be present the police provisions will be am
pie to prevent any unpleasant occurrences.
Allegheny to Celebrate Over Here.
Allegheny will be largely represented at
the Schenley Park celebration. There being
no public demonstration arranged for on
the Northside, the greater part of the popu-
lation will doubtless accept Mayor Gourley's
invitation and join with Pittsburg in doing
honor to the great national holiday.
The policemen will be stationed at points
where the crowds will be congregated from
the entrance on Forbes street to the extreme
limits of the park. They will patrol the
grounds as carefully as they would their
beats. Two headquarters for lost children
will be established, in charge of police
matrons who will care for all children lost
hand in case it becomes necessary to take
any of the youngsters home. A telephone
system is being erected by the use of which
in case of accidents or other trouble the
police force can be concentrated in few
moments. The prison van, "Black Maria"
will be taken to the park and kept in con-.
venient place in case arrests are necessary.
Chief Brown yesterday sent word to all
the street car and traction companies, noti-
flying them of the necessity for making ex-
traordinary arrangements to prevent acci-
dents at the street crossings and wherever
there may be danger by reason OF the
crowds. The police were also instructed to
pay especial attention to this point. The
Mayor Is preparing and will to-day announce
the committees Of reception and manage
ment. 1t is the intention to keep these COM
mittees down to about dozen each, and to
select only gentlemen who will be willing to
turn in and lend what assistance may be
necessary.

The success attending the practice
Of DR.. Bogman, the Cincinnati
Specialist is, more and more apparent.
At his last visit he discharged three
patients, and took eight new
ones of severe character for treat
ment. At this time of the year those
suffering from kidney and bladder
troubles should give prompt atten-
ton to their ailments. AS the cool
weather comes on, the skin in great
measure ceases to perspire, and, in
consequence, the kidneys are called
upon to do much greater work. II
their functions are impaired the gener-
al health must suffer from the reten-
ton in the system of those waste
products which should be thrown off
by the skin and kidneys.
Persons with catarrhal and lung
troubles should fortify themselves
against the inclement weather Of
the coming seasons-also rheumatics.
The doctor will be at the Capital
Hotel Wednesday, September 3Oth,
on his regular monthly visit.

Every lover of the light harness
horse should read the programme of
the greatest trotting meeting ever
held in Kentucky, if not in America,

is the most progressive club Of its
kind in America and richly deserves
the patronage of all. The meeting
begins at Lexington, Monday, October

through the week. Every day has
unusual attractions, and on the first
day will be seen the greatest two
year-old race ever witnessed, as then
Monbars, Ralph Wilkes and Annorean
come together for the first and only
time. On the second day the Tran
sylvania Stake, worth not less than
81, 900, will be contended for, but the
horses do not have to be named till
October 1st. This race was won in
1889 by Jack, and 1890 by McDoel,
and has become a fixture of national
Importance. On the same day DR..
Sparks and Valissa will do battle for
the four-year-old crown, and so the

Backed Into the Cut.

While Mr. z. II. Collins meat
wagon was on High View Monday
morning delivering meat, the horse
attached to the wagon became un-
ruly and began to back. Mr.. Elwood
Collins, who was out opening a gate,
caught the horse by the bit and at
tempted to lead him up, but the
obstinate brute continued to back
until the wagon was on the brink of
the railroad cut, when Mr.. Elliott
Nollins, who was driving, jumped
out. The wagon and horse went
over the cliff, the wagon lodging
against a tree about twenty feet
from the top and breaking the top
off, but he horse fell into the road,
about fifty feet below, alighted on
his feet and was uninjured, except a
slight scratch on one leg.

The Shooters Caught.

Town Marshal Alex. @. Scott, Of
Eminence, brought to this city Sat-
urday afternoon and lodged in jail
Joe and John Gill, two Henry county
negroes, whom he arrested upon the
charge Of killing Charley McFall, or
Mcfarland, upon the excursion train
on Friday of last week.
The examining trial was to have
taken place Thursday, before Judge
B. G.. Williams, but owing to the
absence Of the defendants attorney
and Of several witnesses for the de-
tense, the case was postponed until
Monday.
McFall, the murdered man, was car
riage driver for Col. j. Stoddard John
ston in this city, just before the remov-
al Of his family to Louisville and ac-
companied them to that city.

Miserable Rot.

The papers throughout the State
are doing a great deal of talking
about the Governor not being able to
get good lawyers to revise the Stat
utes so as to conform to the new Con-
stitution at a salary of ten dollars
per day, which is the veriest rot In
view of the fact that very few lawyers
make that much practicing their pro-
fession, and many of them spend a
great deal of money in securing the
position of member of the Legislator,
to which there is only a salary of
five dollars per day attached, and
precious little honor thrown in, we
don't think there will be great deal
Of trouble in finding plenty of good
material for the positions. The price
named is only little less than that
paid the Judges Of the Court of APP
peals, and there are always good
lawyers ready and anxious to accept
a position on the bench of that Court,
and are willing to do some right live
ly hustling to get there also.
Let the salary stand and the Gov
ernor will not have to search the
State over with lantern hunting for
codifyers.

Badly Bitten.

One night last week a mule got in
to the smoke-house Of Mr.. H. F.
Showalter, the auctioneer, who lives
some two miles above the city, on
the river, and shepherd dog at
tempted to drive it out but failed.
The mule and the dog together made
such a racket that Mr.. Showalter
went out to see what was the matter,
when the dog, which had become
greatly enraged in the battle with the
mule, attacked and bit him severely in
several places, and it was with great
difficulty he could be driven off, When
he had gotten the mule out of the
smoke-house, Mr.. Showalter went
to a neighbOr's to borrow a gun with
which to kill the dog, butas the ami
NAL trotted along by his side all the
way there and back, he had not the
heart to kill him when he returned
home.

Left us Again.

Mr.. Casper L. Gayle, who came
back here last winter from Catletts-
burg, where he had been residing for
some time, to accept position with
the LeCompte & Gayle Company,
druggists, returned yesterday to
Catlettsburg, where he will go into the
drug business and reside in the
future. 1t is unnecessary for us to
recommend him to the good people
of that city, for they already know
him to be first class young business
man and clever gentleman.

No Mere Local Affair.

The trotting meeting of the
Frankfort Trotting Association to be
held near this city on the 9Th, 9TH and
Sth of next month, is not going to be
a mere local affair, in which Franklin
county horses alone will figure, but
there will be good movers here from
all parts Of the country. The purses
offered are more liberal than those
hung out by old established associa-
tions, and at the trotting races at Gym
thiana and the fair at New Albany,
Indiana, last week, numerous owners
OF horses which started at those
places promised that they should
be entered for our races next month.
In addition to these, numerous en-
tries have been promised from other
sections, and there is little doubt
that when the bell taps calling the
horses to the post at Col. Peppers
track on the 9Th of October all the
races announced for that meeting
will be filed with first class trotters
and PAGERS. There are plenty of fast
trotters in this and adjoining counties
and should there be a lack of entries
from remote sections there will be
plenty of local material to make
each contest spirited and interesting,
and should the weather prove propi-
tious some fast records may be ex-
pected.
The gentlemen having the matter
in charge are well-known to be hon
orable and upright, and everyone
who brings a horse here can rest
assured that he will receive the fair
est treatment, and no underhand
business will be allowed. The initial
meeting of this new association is
bound to be a success. 1t is being
largely and judiciously advertised
and there will be large crowds to
witness each days races.

Falls City, would only run one boat
in the Kentucky river trade. They

the ways to have some much-needed
repairs made, but when she is gotten
in good trim will continue both boats
in the river and make regular trips.

Had a New Deal.

Last week we announced that the
magistrates of Montgomery county
had refused to submit a proposition
to the people of that county to sub
scribe S125,OOO to the Kentucky
Midland Railway for the purpose of
aiding that road to build a branch
road from North Middletown, Bour-
bon county, or Sharpsburg, Bath
county, to Mt. Sterling.
The people, ofMontgomery county,
were not willing to see a good thing
go by without struggle. The mag
istrates we're prevailed upon to hold
another meeting on Tuesday to re-
consider the matter. Mr.. V. L..
Clark was present to represent the
railroad, and change the proposition
from 1925, 900 to 100000, as follows:
$50, 900 when the road is built to Mt.
Sterling according to first PROPOSE
ton, and $4,000 when it is completed
to Clay City or Filson, eight miles
above Clay City, on the Kentucky
Union. The Courtroom was crowd
ed with people anxious to hear the
decision of the Court, and when tho
result was announced to 4 in favor
of ubmission--ther was great APP
plause.
The people will vote upon the
proposition on the 18th of October.

A Columbus Tragedy.

Columbus on Monday afternoon
about 2 o'clock was the scene of a
most deplorable and terrible trag-
edy, which was the direct result of
the disgracefnl personal journalism
which has for a number of years
characterized the Sunday Cap
itdL of that city and for some
time past, with equal degree, the
Sunday World. The bloody and
tragic affray took place on High
street, opposite the State House.
Col. w. ]. Elliott, editor of the Cap
ital, and his brother, Patrick J. Ell
lott, business manager of the same
paper, came in collision with A. @.
Osborne, city editor of the World,
when revolvers were at once drawn
on both sides and firing began
The result was the instant killing
of an aged and innocent bystander,
w. l.. Hughes, the killing of Os-
borne, the wounding of P. ]. Elliott
and also Of number of others. Al
the shooting the street was crowd
ed with thousands of people who
had gathered to witness the Wash
ington birthday parade, the firing
taking place in locality where
the crowd happened to be the
thickest. For the past several
weeks the Capital and World have
been violently abusive, their ed
itors in turn charging each other
with the most disrepuable acts, in.
volving their families, and which
finally eliminated, it seems, in the
Elliots determining to shoot the
editor of the World and his chief
assistant, A. G. Osborne, their op
portunity, for carrying out theil
purpose occurring on meeting Os-
borne at the time and place named
where he was standing engaged in
conversation with several friends
