MOVING MILLIONS.
The "Gold Train" Reaches New York in
Safety.

NN~N~~-~~N - -
Safety.
NEW YORK, Aug. ia small crowd
waited at the Grand Central depot Tues
day morning for the arrival of the
treasure train" from San Francisco,
carrying $20,000,000 in gold from the
San Francisco mint to the sub-treasury
in this city.
AT exactly 1910 a. m. the train rolled
into the section. Second Assistant Post
master General !. Lowery Bell was on
hand to receive the treasure, and drawn
up in the enclosure were fourteen mail
wagons to receive the gold. The six cars
containing tie gold were switched back
to siding running from Forty-fifth to
Forty -seven,h street and the work of I'M
loading began. The wagons were soon
filled with their precious load and ON their
way to the sub-treasury on Wall street.
The first mail wagon of the treasure
train arrived at the sub-treasury on
Wall street at 1910 p. IN. A large
crowd had gathered around the steps of
the building, but they were quickly
pushed aside by the special officers de-
tailed from the Old Slip station. The
work OF unloading was quickly begun,
and the pine boxes containing the pre-
cious metal were quickly wheeled on
trucks into the vaults of the building.
The train carrying the gold started
from San Francisco. at 8 o'clock last
Thursday evening, and the entire route
to this city was made in 10 hours and
forty minutes. The gold was packed in
pine boxes % by 8. There were 500
boxes in all, each box weighing 100
pounds and worth $4,000. The entire
weight in gold is $4,000 pounds. Each
wagon was guarded by two men besides
the driver, and they left the Grand Cen
trail in groups of three, it taking nearly
an hour and half before all the wagons
were loaded and en- route to the sub
treasury.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11.-Ten persons
writhed in agony Tuesday and narrowly
escaped death by reason of eating canned
cornbeef. In fact in one case it is still
uncertain that termination will not be
fatal. The victims were George Nc
Gill, fifty-five years old; William Camp
bell, six; Thomas Hughes. twenty-two;
Clark Spicer, sixteen; Mrs. Daniel j.
Schaffer, Edward Schaffer, ten; Mrs.
Elizabeth Reed, Mary Reed, ten; Ed

were attacked with commissions, nausea
and pains in limbs and head, all symp-
toms being distinctly those of metallic
poisoning. All had eaten canned corn
beef of a packing company of Chicago,

The II. Clay King Case.

Governor Buchanan will go down
in history as the man who saved III.
Clay Kings neck from the merciless
coil of rope. In signing his name
to the document that saved King
life he performed an act of mercy
alone. There is no legal ground, or
rather technicality, that will excuse
him for taking the step. The jury
that tried the murderer found him
guilty of murder in the first degree.
The case was appealed to the SUI
preme court. This high tribunal
found no error in the record and af-
tirmed the decision % the lower
court. BY process of law the coun-
sci for the defense then brought the
case before Judge jackson, of the
United States Federal court. This
court found no error, and like the
Supreme court of the State, declined
to interfere. Judge Harlan, of the
United States Supreme court, was
then besought and was asked to or
der stay of sentence. He refused
to interfere, because he thought that
under the law the murderer would
receive justice il he died at the end
of a halter. Here is n case which
has been brought before every court
almost il the land. 1t has attracted
more attention than any criminal
case for years and years.
Money and intellect had failed to
save the condemned mans neck, but
the tears and pleadings Of woman
surmounted all obstacles and reached
the tender spot in the Governors
heart. The result is, she carried
home to Memphis with her the pa
pers which saved her husband from
an ignominious death.
The LEAF. CHRONICLE believes
that the action of Governor Buch-
anan will be condemned by the press
and by the public. The general
impression prevails that if man
ever deserved hanging for killing a
fellow man, Clay King deserved it..
There were no mitigating circum-
stances in the case, or the courts
would certainly have found them.
Governor Buchanan can not make
the public believe that he commute d
this sentence because he found irregu-
lar proceedings in the trial Every
court had scrutinized the record and
could find none. The commutaiion,
therefore, was only a matter of senti'
ment with the chief executive Mar
rowing It down to this. It Is for him
to say whether OF not ne mas aone
his duty. There is one thing cer'a H.

Tu -ney or winstead.

Since the nOmi. alton OF Judge
Turney has been made it now De-
hooves all Democrats to look the sit.
uation squarely in the face. There IS
much work TO be done If the ticket Is
successful. No man should sulk in
his tent when his party is assailed by
enemies, and right here allow us to
say that the EAFCHRONICLE does
not believe there will be much sulk-
ing. The right thing for all Demo-
Gratis to do now is to fall into line and
help roll up big majority for the
nominee. The fight is narrowed
down to this: Judge Turney, or
Winstead, the Republican, will be
the next Governor of Tennessee.
Now which do the people wantT
They certainly would prefer Judge
Turney. There are some people,
however, who have been calling
themselves Democrats for the past
ten years who are now raisinga shout
for Buchanan, whom they desire to
lead them in a bolt from the regular
nominee. TO all such the LEAF.
CHRONICLE would respectfully refer
the patriotic speech OF j. G. Aydelott,
Of Tullahoma, delivered at the Buch-
anan meeting at Nashville Tuesday
night. Mr.. Aydelott had been a
warm supporter of Gov. Buchanan
and when he saw the little Jed
dodgers calling meeting ofthe Gov
ernor's friends, he went to it. AT
this meeting a committee of three
was appointed to wait on the Gov
ernor and ask him to make the race
as an independent candidate. Mr..
Aydelott promptly took the
stand against this action. He
asked the gentlemen what
they could accomplish by such ac-
ton. While he thought that his man
had been badly treated he could not
desert the old party, from the reason
that it would only aid in electing a
Republican Governor. He would
support the nominee of the conven-
ton and remain a Democrat. Fur
thermore, he did not think a man
could be very good friend of the
Governor and ask him to take such a
step. They were simply endeavoring
to get Mr.. Buchanan to lend his
aid to a cause that common sense
should teach them was hopeless. He
saw no shadow of chance for the cleo
ton ofan independent candidate, and
could recognize such a candidate in
no other light than trying to turn the
State over to the Republicans. This
is all there is in it. The friends of
Governor Buchanan certainly have
foresight enough to see that his cause
would be hopeless in an Independent
race. They p ssibly might pull
enough votes from the nominee to
let the Republican in, but the LEAF
CHRONICLE does not believe that the
people are ready for anything of this
kind. They prefer the old warrior
Democrat to a Republican,, and will
give him rousing majority in No
Vember.
