The Little Strangers Home.

Judge Tyler has secured good
home for the little black-eyed stran-
ger brought in by the Penick wo-
man. There were numerous calls for
it, but the Judge could not resist the
earnest appeals of j. r. Worland,
wife and daughter. Mr.. Worland
adopted it as his own, took the little
thing home and called in physician
at once to treat it. The family is
very proud of their little pet. Old
black Nanny Penick, in giving it
up, could not restrain her tears. Ca
ressing the little thing for the last
time, she exclaimed: "Honey, |
hopes I'll meet you in heben. God
knows l love you and has dun all l
cud fur the poor little thing"
We haven't single doubt that
Nanny Penick will meet the little
unknown angel in that beautiful be.
You'd, but The little thing will never
know its cruel, heartless mother in
that glorious rest
Mr.. Worland occupies the Baker
place just vacated by d. A. Harrison.
He is fine mechanic and good citi-
zen employed in Harrison's carriage
factory.

Funeral of Rev. David Lockert.

The high estimation in which Rev.
David Lockert wa held was attested
by the great crowd of sorrowing
friends who attended the SER
vices and burial Wednesday,.
People were there from all the
surrounding country and many
from a distance. 1t was Mr.. Lock
ert's expressed wish that no funeral
sermon be preached over his re-
mains, that the service consist of the
simple and beautiful masonic cere-
mony. However, short eulogies on
his life and character were delivered
by Rev. j. G. Gwynn, DR.. N. l..

HOW IT HAPPENED.
JEFF. Herndon Badly Hurt, but Doing
Well This Morning.

JEFF. Herndon, a notice of whose
misfortune appeared in the LEAF
CHRONICLE yesterday, was brought
home from Sailors Rest last even
ing. He rested much better last
night than was expected, and was
feeling comfortable this morning.
The doctor says he is doing well, un
der the circumstances. The fact is,
he is courageous man and won't
complain much. He certainly made
a narrow escape with his life. JEFF
has been looking after the stock at
the farm, where Capt. Herndon has
some valuable horses. He was en-
gagged with a colored boy hauling
straw into the barn. The barn is
built with stalls on each side, board
ed up, and driveway running
through the center with openings in
the floor at each end Tor putting hay
into the loft. The wagon was loaded
with half Ton of straw, with high
standards to hold it. Driving in,
the standards struck the joists, and
the team scared and.ran. JEFF. was
on top of the straw and seeing that
he would be crushed, jumped off.
He struck the boarded walls which
encloses the stalls and was thrown
back under the wagon. The hind
wheel struck his left hip, passing
from that over his left side or lung
and half of his face. Four ribs were
broken, his face badly bruised and
the lung is very sore. He was able
after the accident to write the tele-
gram sent his father yesterday morn
ing. We are glad it is no worse, and
hope he will speedily recover.

The Building and Loan Association.

The Building and Loan Associa-
tions are among the best institutions
in our city. They are conservative
and serve very much the purpose OF
savings institutions, encouraging
their members to save pc ltion Of
their monthly earnings, and at the
same time thus assists those without
homes in appropriating that which
would 60 to pay rents toward paying
for home, and in this way encour-
age the improvement of the city.
We have four of these institutions,
all sound, safe enterprises. The Me-
chanics was the first to enter the field
some twenty years ago. The Citizens
was organized in 1878, and later the
Equitable, and then the Tennessee
National. The Mechanics ran its
course with great success and the
growing demand and confidence in
its management encouraged the
members to reorganize on different
plan under the name of GAINESVILLE
Building and Loan Association as it
now exists and is very prosperous.
During all of this time there have
been but two or three changes in its
officers. w. j. Ely has been the ef-
ficient secretary from the beginning.
1t has Just issued its 9th series of
stock under the changed form, all of
which has been taken up and the
books closed. The stockholders held

M. G. Northington, F. l.. Smith and
Clay Stacker. The officers are T. II.
Smith, president; A. Howell, treas
urer; w. ]. Ely, secretary and j. J.
West, attorney.
The Citizens Building and Loan
Association was organized just after
the fire in 1878, for the purpose of
aiding in rebuilding the burnt dis.
trict and proved a powerful agency
in the work. 1t has issued its
eleventh series of stock and will is
sue the twelfth very soon. The Of
ficers are A. Howell, president; r.
E. McCulloch, secretary; w. E.
Beach, treasurer and A. r. Gholson,
attorney. Directors are A. Howell,

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l5.-The
revenue cutter Corwin, in command
Of Lieutenant j. III. Qulnan, has re-
turned from two days cruise
along the coast looking for the
smuggling schooner which is sup
posed to have left Victoria about a
week ago with Chinese on board
and over ton of contrabrand opium
In her hold, with the evident inlen-
ton of smuggling the entire cargo
ashore somewhere along the Cali.
fornia coast. The Corwin went as
far south AS Point Conception and
north 10 Tomales bay, cruising in
and off'shore along the entire coast.
Not a sign of suspected vessel was
seen, and tue Corwin returned for
orders. 1t is thought doubtful that
the Corwin will 90 out again on the
same chase. Her ofiicen expect
that she will be ordered TO lie up for
the winter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.--Tbe he
publican senatorial caucus met again
at 10 this morning and further dis
cussed a programme to be followed
by the party in regard to prospective
senatorial contests in several western
states. A resolution was offered by
Senator Hawley, Of Connecticut,
and adopted, authorizing the chair
man (Senator Sherman) to appoint
a committee of five senators to take
into consideration the wisdom and
propriety of senatorial interference
into these contests. Obvious purpose
of the resolution Is to reflect unpleas-
antly upon the "pernicious activity"
of the Democratic caucus committee
in this matter. Further than that
nothing was done except to discuss
the general outlook in the West and
the result of this was to greatly en-
courage Western senators, inasmuch
as it demonstrated that their East
ern colleagues are by no means luke
warm In the matter. The caucus
adjourned subject to call.

TACOMA, WASH, Dec. 15-Start-
ling developments which have re-
suited in the arrest of john Grey,
known Familiarity AS "Jack," show
a deploraole state among large
number of messenger boys In this
city. Jack, up to short time ago,
was a messenger. He was Jailed on
suspicion that he carried on an ex-
tensive opium-smoking business.
A IA year-old ex-messenger aud Il
man were found in bed, and there
was evidence that they had been
smoking opium. No outfits were
foun |, howeve-. Later it was dis
covered thai Jack had been notified
that the fficars were after him, and
that he got his "too!s' out of the
way. Cry had rooms in three or
four lodglnp-Aouses, and did a good
business, especially among boys in
the messenger service and disrepu-
table women. Regular visits were
made to house of i'll repute, where
he dealt out smokes for good prices.
1t 10 alleged that boys not more than
Is years old were broken in by Jack.
One of the best patronizers was Jack
himself. Today he has been Ia a
condition In the city Jail
as result of no opium supply. AT
one time he thoroughly collapsed
and lay In stupor ard he had to be
given the drug. The police have

THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT.
Relations Between Vaterlana and
the Vatican. M

BERLIN, Dec. 4.-Debate on the
first reading of the army hill was
continued in the reichs,ay. Freihherr
Won Manteuffel, prominent leader
of the conservative party, made a
speech on the measure, in the course
of which he resented the aspersions
cast upon the conservative party by
Chancellor Won Caprivi, who few
days ago declared in the reichstag
the conservatives were the support
ers of Rector Ahiwardt. On behalf
of the conservative party, Manteu-
ffel discaimed any intention of car
rying on demagogic propa-
ganda. They never made their at
titude toward the army bill depend.
ent upon concession in other mat
ters.
Caprivi replied that he referred to
the report published in the Kraus
Zeitung of a recent meeting of the
conservatives. He said he drew
from the report the conclusion that
the party had sympathy for the
man who hah been condemned 10y
the judges of the land AS an asper-
sor of the army. This statement
was greeted by cries of "Oh Oh y
by the conservatives. Continuing,
the chancellor said be was satisfied
to find the party had declared to
identify itself with Abiwarhi.
DR.. Lieber, of the ceuter party, de-
clared the cen,rists would oniy sup
port the two years service clause Of
the bi under the existing organiza.
tion, and would oppose the increase
in The number Of soldiers provided
for in the bill, They would, he
added, oppose other points of the
m asure. In the course of his re-
marks Lieber made an extended
reference to the relations existing
between Germany and the Vatican.
He laid particular emphasis upon
the statement that the central party
would not dream of demanding a
restoration of temporal power to the
pope as the price of the Vatican's
$, nction Of the triple alliance.
Upon motion of DR.. Osann, nation
al liberal, the bill was referred to a
G committee of 28.

TOPEKA, Dec. Is. = The Demo
cratic leaders from all parts of the
state are here 10 attend meeting of
the Democratic central committee
to decide senatorial question.
Numerous candidates are in the
field, but John Martin seems to
have a lead which is hard to over

Populist can elect senator, anO
Senator O'Brien, though a straight
Democrat, makes it impossible to
elect any Democrat other than a
fusionist and Populist. The caucus
will decide who that fusionist will
