THE WRONG wa.,se.


Few Hours Before tho Wedding.
II was under circumstances of peculiar
difficulty that Alfred c. became n
benedict tho other day. AS the BRIDE
elect lived out 6f town, in one of the
neighhoiing suburbs, he had arranged to
70 To tho house Of friend not far away
csrly in the forenoon. There he was to
dress for the cereuiony, which was to
take place. English fashion, at the little
village church before IL o'clock. Send
ing most of his luggage on ahead, he
put his wedding forgery in hand
valise (ene of those fiat soleleather af-
fairs), and boarded thu,train at the time
appointed.
Although naturally very exact and
mekhodical person, he WIS, not unreason-
ably, rather nervous on this occasion,
and having left his seat to speak to II
friend in the forward part of the car Just
before reaching the station, he hurried
hack rs the brakeman called out the
name of his place of destination, and
seixing whit he supposed was his bug as
it lay in an otherwise empty seat, he was
OF and away almost before the train had
come to q standstill. Arriving at his
friends house, he found that there was
m hsur ahead of him before it was time
10 dress, 30 lie consigned his bag to the
servant and followed his host into his
'1den" to calm his mind with good ci-
gar before the momentous event.
But he had hardly made himself COM
Portable before the butler entered with q
cOuntenance that bespoke-an extraordi-
nary effort to maintain his gravity.
"Beg pardon, sir, but there must be some
mistake; will you please to see what har-
ticles found in your bag, sir?" Quite
bewildcred, c., together with his
friend, followed the man upstairs and
found neatly ranged ON the bed what was
evidently the contents of a drummer's
bag of samples-a cotton "ulion gar
mcnt," child's size; four different styles
Of braces, a patent scam corset, eight
samples of collar buttons, half a dozen
tics of flaring colors stamped correct
STYLE" and other goods of the same kind
Of course the explanation was obvious:
hs had taken the wrong bag, and his own
wedding suit was en- route for Boston,
without either bride or bridegroom, on
q wedding tour of its own. Fortunately
his friend was man of about the same
size, and by borrowing an,outft he was
ennb}ed to reach the church in time and

The Black Art in Court.

MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Aug. 20.-The
trial of Adam Heidi and his son,
Joseph, for the murder of George
Markert, near Jacksonville, on the
evening of Jenuary 10 last, now in
progress, promises to be one of the
most interesting in the criminal annals
of the county and in fact, of the State.
On the evening of January 10 George
Markert, a farm laborer, repaired to a
hotel known as Hembed's Halfway
House, about half way between Jeffer-
sOnville and Calicoon Depot. Here he
spent the evening quietly, and between
10 and II started out, as events proved,
to his death. In the morning his hat
was found ear a bridge crossing the
Callicoon erik. All around were evil
dences of a fearful struggle in the
trampled snow, red with blood. Some
time later Markert's body was found
in the creek, bearing wounds other
than those produced by the strong tor
rent.
Adam and Joseph Heidi were sus-
pected of the deed. These men claimed
that Markert was practicing the black
art. They said that his malign iniu-
ence killed their cattle and frustrated
their business plans, and from brood
ing on these supefstitious fancies they
came to be of the opinion, which they
did not hesitate to express, that while
Markert lived their lives and fortunes
were unsafe.
There is evidence enough to convict
at least one of Heidts of murder in the
first degree, but it is believed that the
facts will be admitted and insanity al
legged as a defense. Despite everything,
the Heidts today believe firmly that
Markert was a wizard.

Friday, the 10th, a shadow of gloom
was cast over our community by the
announcement by telegraph from Ter
rel, Texas, of the death of Henry Hale,
son of James E. Hale, who only a few
months ago babe adieu to friends in this
section, and left for the above named
place. Henry was one of our best and
most upright young men, and loved by
all who knew him.
Saturday this gloom was deepened
and widened by the accidental death
of Columbus Cochran, son of Jacob
Cochran, of this place. Quite a num-
Der of our young people had attended
a picnic at D%icksay's Chapel, in Greene
County, and on the return home Co.

his Texas pony it began to buck and
threw him off, injnring him so badly
that he died in about six hours. Co.
lumbus was a kindhearted young nan
and we'll liked. We extend to the fam
lilies of Mr.. Cochran and Mr.. Hale our
heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereav-
ment. Cochran's remains were inter-.

Buchanan's Bolt.

The formal announcement that Gov
ernor Buchanan will enter the race for
Governor in Tennessee as an independ-
ent candidate will carry CONSERVATION
into the Democratic ranks. Two years
ago Mr.. Buchanan secured the regular
Democratic nomination by means Of
the Alliance vote, which was then
nearly all inside the Democratic party.
The strength of this vote was not ap-
preciated by the old line or upper
case" Democrats, as they are called in
Tennessee, until it was too late. For a
time they %acquiesced in the control of
the party by the Alliance element.
They were only biding their time, how
ever, and this year they entered upon
the fight for the nomination determin-
ed to win back for themselves the con-
troll of the party organization. They
have succeeded, but their methods of
procuring success have alienated the
Alliance element, and the result is
before us in the Governors announces
ment of his candidacy on a Peoples
party platform.
The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, Mr.. George w. Winstead, of
Weakley county is young mar of
great ability and large popularity. He
is making a thorough canvass of the
State. East Tennessee will give him
over $4,000 majority. If Buchanan's
candidacy insures something like a
fair count in Shelby county and the
other counties bordering on the Missis-
sippi River, and if as many Is 10000
Democrats support Buchanan, as seems
altogether probable, Mr.. Winstead's
election is assured.
1t would be a great thing for Ten
nessee to have a Republican Governor.
She has had only one since the immor-
tai 'Parson" Brownlow went out of
office in 1870. A Republican Governor
and Legislature together could put an
end to the labor troubles in the mining
region, could establish the financial
credit of the State on a firm and en-
during basis and could put an end to
the ghastly epidemic of lynching
that has SO disgraced the common
wealth for a year past.
And incidentally it may be remarked,
that if the Buchanan men vote the
Peoples party electoral ticket, the Re-
publican electors will have a good plu-
rality, and Harrison and Reid will get
the twelve votes from Tennessee.-N.

FROM present appearances the trouble
with the miners is over. But that de-
ponds. Should the convict lease sys-
tenn be continued a permanent settle
ment has not been reached. The great
trouble is that bad and unjust laws are
equally binding with just and salutary
ones. Should the convict lease law be
kept in operation the same cause that
led to the recent outbreaks remain, and
the same men will be found to lead flu
ture attacks upon the convicts. Laying
aside the law, it is difficult to see how
men can remain passive when they see
labor, which is necessary to the sup
port of themselves and families, given
to men who are under sentence of the
law for all the crimes in the calendar ;
men who are deprived of citizenship.
The miners have been charged with an
archistic sentiments and actions, but it
Is a libel upon men whose every prin-
ciple is in bitter opposition to every in.

The Sunday School Convention at Wash.

A district Sunday school convention
was held by S. H. Anderson, vice presi-
dent for this county, at Washington
College, last Friday, August 10. There
were from 400 to 500 persons present.
Morning and afternoon sessions were
held. The exercises consisted of ad-
dresses, recitations and the discussion
of various topics, interspersed with
most excellent music. A lively and
continued interest was shown in all the
subjects discussed. Never once did the
meeting drag. At noon the good peo-
pie spread in the grove q dinner that
could not be surpassed for quality or
quantity. A recitation by Miss Ida G.
Stepp was most admirably rendered.
Miss May Baker read a poem to perfec-
ton. The music rendered by the choir
was of a high order. In fact. the en-
tire day was pleasant, interesting and
profitable. There we're about twelve
schools represented. The good people
of Washington College and surround
ing country know just how to make a
success, and as usual the ladies did we'll
their part, furnishing flowers, provis-
ions, music, &c. Miss Matte Rankin
made a very interesting talk. DR.. Dob
son, in behalf of the people, expressed
gra tiication as to the meeting and a
desire for another convention. Now,
we want all Sunday school workers to
take hold we want all that possibly
can be reached to be brought into the
Sunday school, and we want our schools
raised to as high a standard as possible.
Let those interested in the cause talk
it, work it and write to this out county

urer for the county, and will publish
