THE PLEA SUSTAINED.
The Franklin Bank Officers
Given Their Liberty.
Judge Tyler Decides That the Indict-
ments Returned by Jurors Who
Were Depositors Not Good.

The officers of the Franklin Bank
who were put under bond at the last
term of the Criminal court are to. day
free men, and are receiving the con.
gratulations of their friends. The
LEAF-CHRoNICLE stated yesterday
that the defendants had attacked the
indictments on.the ground that men,
bers of the grand jury which found the
same were depositors in the bank
and therefore incompetent to sit as
..urors IN the case. Judge Tyler has
rendered his decision in the case and
.Ie sustains the plea. The indict-
ments are therefore set aside and the
defendants are free.
There is 20 doubt that Judge Ty-
ler's decision In the case will be re-
ceived with approval by the majority
of the peop.e conversant with the
facts in the sarl.

A FAMILY FISH.
A Gay Party Which Spent Yes
terday at Henry's Mill.
Forty-eight People Eat Dinner From
One Table and Nearly all of Them
Represent One Family.

A happy family left the city yes
terlay morning. for Henry's Hill on
West Fork, bent on having "A good
time and catching fish. 1t was a
family affair, aud the Baileys pre-.
dominated When the roll was call
ed at dinner time it was found that
there were twenty-five grown people
and twenty-three children present.
The crowd consisted of the families
9. ID. Bailey, numbering seven
to state that Dick Williams was
taken along to make everybody
in the crowd tell the truth. G. ID.
Bailey was captain and had no
trouble in managing his company,
Notwithstanding the fact that Misses
Alice Drane and Maude Merritt got
ducking.
9. III. Bailey, who represents
Dick Williams, the truthful, says
there were sixteen fish caught in all.
and that they would have weighed
aboutseventy-five pounds when they
were fresh caught. From all re-
ports, however, they had "swunk"
by the time they had reached the
city. Anyway they caught enough
fish and had enough fun to amply
repay them for making the trip.
The dinner was spread near the
mill and it was good one. They
had barbecue-sheep and pig-and
this, accompanied by the deicacies
prepared by the ladies for the oc-
casiOn, maze good dinner indeed.
Fount Allen was there, and after
eating his dinner he perched himself
in the mill and was fishing for trout.
He hung one and the crowd yelled.
1t was apparent that no man living
could land big trout when he was
sitting twenty feet above the water.
G. d. Bailey saw the trouble at a
glance, and without waiting to ask
questions he plunged into the creek
to land that fish. He landed him,
and after he had done so it was found
that the trout was about four inches
long.
After spending a pleasant day the
party returned to the city, well
pleased with their outing.

ANOTHER CASE OF MEMPHIS"
One Woman Loves Another and Seeks
Death Without Her.

One Woman Loves Another and Seeks
Death without Her.
NASHVILLE, May 4.-Another case of
unnatural love of two women has come
to light at Altamont. Sunday Miss
Kate Upton shot herself above the
heart, and is fatally wounded. The
cause was her love for Miss Lula San
ders, her chum. On Sunday, April II,
Miss Sanders was married to d.
Meeks. The following letter, bes. pat
tered with blood, was found in She
wounded girls bosom:
DEAR SWEETHEART KATE-I am going
to leave, and / ought to be the happiest
woman in all the world, with the love of
two noble souls; but you have pierced my
heart. Obi God, Kate, what can do to
influence you 20 break your dark resolve
at is you or DEATH" How can live, dar-
ling Kate, wi IN you are dead, dead and
why do care to live when my darling is
at heavens gate, all on my account
Goodby, my darling, and my love.
JULIA b. SANDERS.
The letter was a reply to one from
Miss Kate, who had said she could not
live without Julia The mother of Kate
found the secret correspondence, and
while examining it the girl came int
the room. Without word she kisseu
each member of the family, and went
to her room, where she shot herself, and
was found unconscious. She left letters
explaining the cause, as follows:
DEAR MOTHER AND SISTER, can not
live without Lula, and take this means
of putting an end to myself. Farewell.
On the back of the envelope, addressed
to her mother and sister, she wrote the
following:
DEAR MOTHER AND SIsTER-Don't blame
Lula am to blame.
This is the one she wrote to Mrs.
Meeks:
My LovE-Farewel We are caught,
and rather than separate from you now
take my life. Drop tear on the grave
of her who died for you. Goodby.
KATE.
Mrs. Meeks is very much grieved, but
steadily refused to talk on the subject,
except to say that Kate came to her
room, and got on her knees, and ex-
claimed that she could not live without
her. Mrs. Upton has several letters in
her possession from Mrs. Meeks to Miss
Katie which have not been made public.
Miss Kate Upton is one of Grundy
county's lovliest and most accomplished
young ladies' and is highly esteemed by
all who know her. She was recently of
fered a salary of $75 per month by Con-
gresham Snodgrass as clerk. She can
not recover.

VIII BE Palacio If He Stays General
Crespo's Son.
New YORK, May 4.-The Herald has
a dispatch from Barqusimeto, Vene-
zuela, in which the writer says:
Dictator Palacio's alleged threat to
kill the twenty-three-year-old son of
General Crespo as soon as the last
named comes within league of Caracas,
has reached the headquarters of the
revolutionists and excited great indigna-
ton.
General Crespo declares if his son is
put to death Palacio will be burned at
the stake in the plaza in front of the
Casa Amarillo.
The revolutionists will do all they can
to prevent the dictator from carrying
out his threats, but if they should kill
young Crespo, Palacio may expect, if
captured, to be cremated.

FALLING INTO LINE.
Giles, Lincoln and Weakley All For
Turney.

Returns from several counties which
held primaries and mass. meetings
Monday show that Judge Turney
is solid with the rank and file of
Democracy. He is walking squarely
over Ocala heresies and is gaining
ground every day. Giles, Lincoln
and Weakley have now swung into
line and will send Turney delega-
tions to Nashville. Jefferson and
Roane have also declared for him,
and it is said that Buchanan has

Jno. III. Mcdowell reads the hand.

The following special from GallatiD,
where he spoke Monday, will be in.
teresting:
According to widely advertised
appointment, John III. Mcdowell
spoke here to-day. By actual count
there were LOG people in the house,
five Of whom were negroes. 1t is fair
to say that not one-third of those
present were in sympathy with the
speaker, most of the crowd being on
hand through curiosity. Mcdowell
avowed that he would not support
Turney if nominated, and the trend
of his address indicated that he was
preparing the Alliance for bolt.
The entire speech was that of a Cheap
John politician and was entirely de-
void of merit, the speaker fatty con-
tradicting himself upon several
points. The Mcdowell crowd here
are sadly disappointed over the
speech of their champion and the
poor reception given him."
