A Frankfort correspondent to the
Covington Commonwealth writing
on the penitentiary middle has this !:
ga well founded rumor has crept
out that Gov. Browns supplemental
message in regard to the complica.
tions existing between the State and
the Mason Foard Company, lessees of
the State prison, and certain officials
of the Eddyville prison will be sent
to the House shortly-perhaps in the
course of the next week. The mes
sage was anticipated three months
ago, and it was intended to have
been sent in at the time, but for
some reason was withheld, and its
continued non-appearance created
an impression that it was all a false
alarm. That, however, appears to
be erroneous, and it is quietly talked
in political circles that the message
will be in the nature of bomb to
some State officials Who, ii has been
intimated, are handin-glove with
the prison lessees. 1t will also be in
teresting reading to Gen. Lyons, ex-
Superintendent of the Eddyville
prison, if reports are true, and his
official acts will be shown up in
anything but complimentary
light"
The Eddyville Tale of Two Cities
has the following: "The Mason q
Foard Company find it to their in
terest to oppose all further improve
ments to the Eddyville penitentiary.
They would like to see it abandoned
altogether. They want the Frank
fort prison enlarged, no matter what
the location is. 1t is nothing to them
how much the death rate among the
convicts may be increased by crowd
ing them into the death trap at
Frankfort. The cost of running the
prison is paid by the lessees, and it is
cheaper for them to run one prison
than two; therefore, they would like
to concentrate everything at Frank
tort. All the hue and cry against the
prison and its location has
been raised by such disappointed mall
as Without Carpenter, b. F,
Remington and John Cartley, sus-
aimed and augmented by the secret
influence of the Mason & Foard Com
,any.'
The official returns from the De.
nocratic mass meeting at Dover
has reached the LEAF
and as it anticipated
the county is for Tuiney.
L was one of the hottest conv' ntions
'ver held at Dover, and was attended
~ a very large crowd of people. The
rurney men took the lead in the
tart, however, and held II through.
