Was the Attack Made on
Day Operator Hoover
Yesterday.
He Was Not in Fault-0ther Racket
Over the County.

Yesterday Mr.. ]. F. Hoover, who is
the day operator at the union depot
here was attacked in amost disgrace.
ful manner by Mr.. Ike Jobe. The diff.
ticulty arose this way: Mr.. Jobe had
sent telegram from Embreeyille the
day before to Johnson City firm,
asking them to send some goods out
to him on the evening train. When
the train reached Embreeville, the
things he had ordered did not come,
and he went to the depot yesterday
and accused Mr.. Hoover OF holding
the message back. This Mr.. Hoover
explained to him that he had not done
bur had delivered it as soon as
the delivery boy came in. Mr.. Jobs
then told Mr.. Hoover that the little
affair would cost him his position, and
began to otherwise abuse him. This
was too much for Mr.. Hoover, who
was in no way to blame, and he threw
an inkstand at Mr.. Jobe. About this
time John Jobe came up and jumping
through the window began to beat Mr..
Hoover. He was followed by George
Hiukle, who also started to do up Mr..
Hoover. About this time the other
depot officers interfered and parted
the combatants. Hinkle was arrested
and put under 5000 bond, and will
be tried at 9 o'clock this morning.
The whole affair is to be regretted very
much, as Mr.. Hoover is an honorable
young man, who has only been here
for about week. Mr.. Jobe was also
very sorry that the affair had happen.
ed after the second thought, as Mr..
Hoover is Democrat and would have
no reason in the world for holding a
campaign or any other message back.

for the Elections in
November,
November,

From the reports received at this
place up to II o'clock last night it
seems that the Republican ticket had
won in this county by majority Of
from 200 to 250 votes, which is great
decrease from the large majority
which was the result of the last cleo
ton. The election was very quiet and
one of the most peaceable ever held in
the county. Up to IL o'clock last
night II districts had been heard from
wioh gave the Republicans majority
of 342. Six districts are yet to hear
from which are strongly Democratic
and will greatly decrease the Republi-
can majorities' The Democrats,
though, are ahead all over the State,
having made hard fight in this cleo
tion, and will enter the November
campaign better organized than ever
and ready to carry the earth.

Old Wives and Young Husbands.

A curious fact for the physiologist's
Investigations is the premature aging
OF old women's young husbands. The
young man who marries woman 20
years his senior by the time he is well
in his 40s looks 60, while the young
woman who weds the same disparity
of years keeps her youth as long as
her temperament and disposition per-
nit. When the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts married her youthful spouse,
Mr.. Bartlett, she was well preserved
spinster of sixty-odd. Now the gallant
Mr.. Burdett-Coutts, as he is called, il
is said, looks fully up to that, while
the baroness, who is close upon 80,
looks as bright and as energetic as in
middle life. There is no preservation
of health equal to a good ,hevrt and an
ample fortune, and the aged wife o.
the ambitious young American is dis
tinguished for both of these posses
sions. Old age can be held at bay un
til the very end, as Ninon de I'Enclos
career bears witness, but the condi
tions must be favorable, and the year
must be well gilt. Poverty never KEEP
any woman young; yet, after all, per
haps there is q good deal of justice il
the averaging of time, and this pre-
mature aging of men who marry thu
for wealth and position is but the dou

THE OBSERVATION OF MARS.
The Work VIII Have to BE Revised

SAN FRANCISCO, August 4-Owing
to the wide interest in the possible re-
suits Of the present observation OF the
planet Mars by the experts at Lick Oh.
servatory, Prof, Edwerd s. Holden, in
charge of the observation, telegraphed
as follows;
"There is absolutely nothing to be
said about Mas observations from
night to night, or about our observa.
tions of the whole year even, until
after the work has been gone over with
care and map made of our results,
which will take until October next at
least. II there is anything to say,
will telegraph you of course. All, or
nearly all, of the excitement over Mars
is merely exaggeration and sham ex-
citement, utterly useless to the people
in general as it is harmful to science.
Exaggerated and ignorant expecta-
tions will not be realized such as re-
late to communication with the inhab-
itants of a planet, which we are not
absolutely certain is otto be inhabited
let alone actually populated"

Mr.. Allen, and no provi sion to COM

gests that the proper course will be

DON'T STEAL.
The MOrrIstOwn Gazette Is a Small
PcrsimmOn.

Evidently the little 2x4 sheet pub
lished at Morristown and dignifed
with the name of "Gazette" is jealous
of young newspaper correspondent
of that city. Frequently items sent
The Sentinel by its correspondent
from Morristown have been appropri-
ated by the Gazette without credit,
and when the steal was too brazen the
article would be credited to some other

The correspondent OF The Sentinel
who sent the report from Greeneville,
does not live in Morristown, and it is
understood he never did. Anyhow the
report was not sent by the Morristown

Will the Gazette scribbler have
manhood enough to correct his mis-
take?

LETTERS FROM grover
Frank and Free Expressions
From a Statesman.
His Veto Rendered in a Spirit Of Kind
ness and Tenderness.

F. Duneomb, who nominated Boies at
Chicago, wrote to Mr.. Cleveland in re-
lation to his veto of what was known
as the Des Moines River land settlers
bill, and has received the following re-
ply:
GRAY GABLES, BUzzARD's BAYl
July 26, 1892.
To Hon. JOHN F. DUNcoMB:
DEAR SIR-Your letter of July 12 is
at hand, and 1 thank you for the
friendly sentiments which it contains.
l remember very well the perplexities
involved in my action upon the Des
Moines River land grant. My mem
ory is entirely clear on two points
which largely entered into my consid
Grafton.
After reading the decisions of the
courts upon the questions involved in
the bill which was before me for my
action, l concluded that it was en-
tirely clear that the only result of the
legislation would be to further involve
the unfortunate settlers in litigation,
and further load them with expense
to no purpose. Subsequent events
seem to have proved that / was right
in this.
Another thought which was dis
tinctly and emphatically declared in
my veto was to the effect that if any
settler had been induced to 60 upon
the lands and expend money in i'm
provements in the faith OF some rul-
ing of the Land Department, such
settlers should be fairly and Justly re-
munerated for their outlay. / should
have been glad any time to have re-
lieved such settlers if it had been pos
slole TO doSo, and no one can accuse
me of acting in the matter in any 9th.
er spirit than that OF extreme kindness
and tenderness toward those who had
been injured by the vacillation Of gov
ernment officials.
This matter can be made 80 plain by
reference to the laws and to my veto
and to the judicial decision bearing
upon the question that 1 do not see
how it is possible for any person tC
misrepresent or misunderstood the
true condition.
Very truly yours,
