DON'T DEsPIsE THEM.
A Correspondent Writes About Clarks-

Correspondence Leaf Chronicle.l
RossyIEw, Aug. 26, 1892.
"The brave poor sodger ne'er despise,
Nor count him as stranger,
Remember he's country's stay
In day and hour of danger"
This was good doctrine of the
Scotch poet when it was written
many years ago, and it stands us in
hand to practice it now, when we
see how ready and willing Tennes-
scans are to defend the State from
lawlessness. 1t had only to be felt
that they were needed, when our
young men showed what kind of
stuff Tennesseans are made of. These
are the same stock that fought at
Kings Mountain; that followed An
drew Jackson through the privations
and battles of the.cruel Indian wars,
and the battle of New Orleans; that
followed Scott and Taylor in the
Mexican war. There were no Drawer
soldiers behind Lee, Stonewall Jack
son, Forest, Chatham, Cleburne, and
host of others in the terrible 4-years-
war of the Confederacy. Let us feel
grateful, and hope that whenever
Tennessee calls for the best blood OF
her sons she can haveit, and not with
stint.
A party of young GAINESVILLE SOL
diers came in on the cars where /
was last Saturday. 1t brought back
the old days of '60-'64. Their guns,
knapsacks, bright uniforms and high
spirits. Their laughter and jokes
were all of the same old order. One
yonDg fellow said: ''If Carnes Just
knew / was here he would telegraph
Tor me immediately" His laughing
boast reminded one of the old Con.
,federate, who, IN telling of his famil-
lar interview with Gen. Lee, quoted
him as saying: "Don't call me Gen.
Lee; call me Bob"
Now do not let us fail to appreciate
and homer our home defenders. But
do not let the girls spoil them. 1t is
pity to spoil such fine fellows. Then
whenit becomes necessary for the
girls to take~the "conceit' out of
them IT is not so hard. We end as
we began: "The brave poor sodger
meier despise." CONFEDERATE.

Mr.. Goodman Declines.

Governor Buchanan has requested
Frank Goodman to make an expert
examination OF Comptroller Aliens
books, and Mr.. Goodman has de-
clined to make the examination from
the fact that the Governor tells him
that he will have to look to the next
legislature for his pay, In writing to
. the Governor on the subject, Mr..
Goodman lays bare condition of
facts that should be humiliating to
the members of the legislature who
had charge Of this same business
then, and should also make the tax
payers more anxious than ever for an
investigation. He says that in deal.
Ing with the legislature he has found
that the members did not want to
pay as much as the work was worth,
and that they were not imbued with a
desire to go to the bottom and see If
there was really anything wrong.
Mr.. Goodman was appointed by the
last legislature to make the examina-
ton, but when the committee found
that ii would. take several weeks
to do the work they rescinded
this order and turned it over to a
less experienced man who made the
examination after a fashion. The
fat rornnina thot Tho lor;sIat;yo on,,,
mittee did not seem inclined to allow
Mr.. Goodman to go to the bottom of
the business and make "a full and
complete examination. They want
ed him to check the warrants receiv-
able with the entries on the cash
books of the comptroller and treasur-
er. Mr.. Goodman says that THIS
would reveal nothing but clerical er-
rors, If any existed. In other words
the committee wanted Mr.. Goodman
to take the Comptroller's word for a
great deal and few receipts for the
balance. This kind of business is
distasteful to such man as Frank
Goodman, and there was no surprise
at his declining TO make this state.

Another Account.


BUFFALO, Aug. 81. = Some of the
Lackawanna and Nickel Plate switch
men struck again at o'clock Thursday
night
The followers of the Quinn brothers,
who participated in the personal attack
upon Mr.. Sweeney, gathered in force
and held a secret meeting Thursday
at which they declared themselves in
favor of continuing the strike over his
head and in spite of him. They were
reinforced by number of Lackawanna
switchmen anxious to keep up the fight.
The Lackawanna men sent commit
tee to see Mr.. Sweeney, but were unable
to find him. They then decided to take
matters in their own hands and make a
fight. This amounts practically to a
secession from the order. The leaders
of secession are the Quinns and Miles
Barrett, of Chicago.
The first to fall into line with this
new condition of things were some of
the employees of the LaclSawanna, of the
Nickel Plate and of the Buffalo, Roches-
ter and Pittsburg. Strikes were or
dered on these two lines first named,
and it was expected every moment that
the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg
men would Join them.

In Spite of the Action and Advice of the

Grand Master Barrett Who Champions
Their Stand-Out on Two Roads.
BUFFALO, Aug. 27.-There is rebel
lion in the switchmen's order against
Grand Master Sweeney. His authority
is denied and his mandates are unheed-
ed The men have found new leader
in the person of Vice Grand Master
Barrett, of Chicago; and while Mr..
Sweeney nurses his wounds in his hotel
and says the strike is off, the men say it
is not and that they will win yet.
The results of the internal dissension
was chiefly noticeable Thursday night
Oh the Lackawanna road. When the
strike was declared off the Lackawanna
men went to work, but when it was de-
clared on again they quit and left the
yards. So far as most of the other roads
are concerned the men who went out
have been compelled to stay out, their
places having been filed.
When the strike was declared off, the
Lackawanna men went to work and
manned the engines, but they remained
only short time Thursday the en-
gines were idle, and for a time Friday
morning it was doubtful if they would
be running during the day. The men.
however, have decided to go back to
their old places, and about II o'clock
Friday morning they again went to
work,
Mr.. Barrett Friday morning declined
to be interviewed, but said that the
strike was not off. He has appointed a
committee to prepare him a statement
of the exact condition of affairs. Mr..
Barrett said: 81 intend to stay here I'M
til victory is Won"
Mr.. Barrett's stay under this condi-
ton will likely be protracted one.
The roads are all doing full work and
can be said to be in normal condition.

"POMP" USES HIS RAZOR,
AND PROBABLY FATALLY ours
JOHN MANNING.
The Array Occurred In Billy NIapning's
Old Pico Heights Saloon n-The
Injured Man in Precari-
GUS Condition..

A negro familiarly known as ''Pomp"
seriously, and perhaps fatally, cut John
Manning (white) lsst evening in a
saloon on Pioo Heights. The difficulty
occurred about 7 o'clock in the building
where Billy" Manning formerly kept
saloon ard whick is now kept by Clar-
ence Hall and Joe Manning.
The weapon used by "Pomp" was
rszor, infi;cting two wounds. Ons is on
the left eide of the face, beginning at
the cheek bone and extending to the
collar bone, having the flesh open, from
which the blood flowed freely. The
other wound was inflicted in the right
forearm and is about three inches in
length.
The origin of the difficulty WAS not
made known. as the wounded man was
unable to talk. J B. Claverie, who was
in the saloon at the time, states that
Manning and "Pomp" were qTarreling,
and that the negro advanced toward
Manning and slsshed him with razor.
Claverie stepped in to prevent the negro
from sgain cutting Manning. when
"Pomp'e" pug dog seIzed him hy the
feet and began to gnaw them. Ciaverie
gave the pug kick and then seized an
axe with which he intended subjugating
the negro. But hy this time the negro
had put his razor in his pocket, took the
png dog in his arms, and ran out Of the
house. Claverie aud another man fol-
lowed him about r mile, hut failed to
overtake him owing 10 the darkness.
A physician was summoned and the
wounded man WAS cared for. John
Manning was formerly employed at the
Basket saloon. near the plaza.
Officer Hawley was cent to the scene
of the difficulty and continued his
, search for Pomp." who is described as
about feet inches in height, aged
about 25 wears. smooth. black face. and
peculiarly shaped head round in
front, square at the back, ending in
rolls of flesh at the nape of the neck,
His description was furnished to the
officers throughout the city, with in
structions to bring him in.
At II O'Clock last evening Officer Con-
lev visited basement saloon on the
corner of Arcadia and North Main streets.
In the crowd be saw "Pomney" Smith,
whose looks tailed with the description
Of the 'Pompey" who did the cutting.
He arrested the fellow. At the moment
Officer Dietwig, who was on the lookout
for Pompev, also, entered the saloon
and assisted in taking the prisoner to
the central police station.
On being searched the razor was
not found. The prisoners coat sleeves
were saturated with blood. also his
shirt cuffs end sleeves. He did not
offer to explain how his clothing be-
came bloody, hnt feigned surprise ct his
arrest, and asked, ''How much bond
you want?"
Pompey Smith has served two or
three terms in Jail during the past two
wears, one term being for petit larceny.
At q late hour last evening the wound
ed mans condition had not improved.
During the affray Clarence Hail WAS
slightly cut on the right hand in at
tempting to prevent Pompey from cut
ting Joe Manning. at
