AN ASTRONOMICAL WONDER.
The Fifth Satellite of Jupiter Discovered
by Prof. +. +. Barnard.

The Fifth Satellite of Jupiter Discovered
byPrOf. r. Z. Barnard.
Prof. E. E. Barnard, formerly of
Nashville, but now at Lick ObserNa-
tory in California, has made dis
coVery which is regarded as the
greatest achievement of the century
in Astronomy. The following is the
opinion of an authority on astron-
Omy:
'"The discovery of this satellite
which was made by Barnard Satur-
day, is the greatest astronomical
achievement OF the century and will
cause the world of science to ring.
1t simply means the addition OF
another body to the solar system,
which is, in these days a most stu
pendous discovery. 1t is far greater
than the finding of the satellites OF
Mars, for these two bodies were more
or less easy of observation. Bar
nard's work makes an addition to
the solar family in field that was
well worn out and was thought to
have been so thoroughly sifted that
astronomers gave up the task of look
ing for fresh facts. Then too, Jupi-
ter has been the most observed OF all
the planets for the reason that it l.
so very large and such a grand bod y
withal tAat it invites inspection. /
can tell you that this will be grand
news for the astronomers OF Europe

THE SEAT OF WAR.
Many Sensational Stories Sent Out.-SOme
Guards Shake When Leaves Rattle.

MANY Sensational Stories Sent Out.-SOme
Guards Shake When Leaves Rattle.
EDITOR HERALD.-Big Mountain,
Tenn, Sept. 10.-As SO many sensa-
tional reports are being sent out by
the papers about this place in regard
to the miners, their dOings and
threats, have concluded to write
YOU a letter, which you Will please
publish, so the friends and families
of the boys from Maury may read
what are the facts as L sec them on
the ground.
On August 31st, J. w. Jackson, w.
A. Jackson ana myself, left on the
evening train for Nashville, where
we were Joined later by Tom Irvine
and James Horne. We went out to
the penitentiary, where we, in COM
panY with other guards under charge
of Capt. r. w. Faris-who is War
den at this place, which is Oliver
Mines-took charge of lightweight
cOnvicts and started for this place,
where we arrived on the evening of
Sept. l, without any trouble but with
the loss of two cOnviUts, one white
and one negro, who escaped from the
train between Nashville and Chatta-
nOOga.
We found everything quiet and af-
ter getting supper and putting the
conVicts away in an old shop, and
placing out guards, we turned in Tor
| sleep; except John Jackson, who vas
placed on guard duty. Everything
passed off quietly, and next morning
part of the convicts were placed III
the mines and part put to cleaning
| aWay~the debris of the fire where the
prison was burned. Nothing of a
Sensational character happened, only
a few reports were circulated that
the miners were coming to release
| the cOnVictS.
The second night nothing trans
pired, except one OF the guards came
running in and eaid the mountains
was full of miners. Parties went out
to investigate but found nothing
On the third night the same guard
came in again with big tale; again
nothing found on investigation
On the night of The 4th, this same
guard fired on a wild cat or bu n
! but no miners. And so on day after
day and night after night, with but
little variation.
/ don't believe that any organized
body of miners is in this country, nor
do 1 believe that they intend at this
time to do anything, except they may
bushwack a fellow if they catch him
| out. we nave lhI1bg SubANS s'AN
twenty-five soldiers here now, and
expect twenty-five more in few
days, with gatling gun. THINK
! that the miners will remain quiet
until the trials of the captured ones
comes off, and then should they fai
to be convicted there will be more
and serious trouble. If nothing HAP
pens [ will leave here on the 18th, FOL
| home, All the boys are we'll.
Respectfully
w. I. OVERTON.

EDITOR CARMACK, of the Mem
phis Commercial, and Editor Collier,
of the Appeal-Avalanche, are very
busy calling each other liars. evil
full liar" "malicious liar" "silly
liar" deliberate liar" and all other
kinds of liars ever read about. This
is very undignfied journalism, un-
worthy the men or the papers. 1t
will increase the sale Of their papers
for q few days, as any other sensation
or scandal would, but 1t is simply
unworthy the men and we suggest
that they qIit it. Neither OF them
know much about their own circula'
tions, and less about that OF the 9th
err. The circulation business belongs
to the business manager. Let hin
talk it to the advertiser; the readers
care very little. We expect If the
truth was known, Carmack and Col
lier are both ashamed Of themselves
right now.

FOUND HANGING.
Thomas Allison Lynched in Sullivan
County by Mob.
His Case had Been Continued and the
GaIIows was about to be
Cheated.

NASHVILLE, Sept. 15.-[Speclal.I-
Thos. Allison, murderer of three men
in Sullivan County, was found hang
ing from a white oak limb, near Dod-
son yesterday. He had beed taken
from the Dodson jail by masked
mob and Iynched. At the last term
OF court his case was postponed and
number of the best people became
enraged, believing he would cheat the
gallows. About twenty men went to
the Jail intending to hang the pris-
oner and upon the jailor opening the
door, they went in and Overpowered
him, securing the key to the cell
They took Allison out in his night
clothes, and despite of his pleadingsr
hung him up to tree. Little re-
greet was expressed by anyone over
the affair, as he was undoubtedly
guilty.

WORD IN SEASON.

Before any-or at least before too
much feeling-gets up over the ques-
ton, we hope the County Court will
take up the Mt. Pleasant turnpike
muddle aud settle it right.
Public questions like this will never
settle themselves. More than that,
they will not stay settled wrong.
That is what is the matter now. 1t
was settled wrong, and because it
was settled wrong, it would not stay
settled.
We do not propose to arrogate to
ourselves any more or as much
wisdom as the Hon. County Court
may contain But with all due re-
spect we say to them that if they will
divest themselves OF all prejudice
and passion and policy, and face the
question honestly as q business propo-
sition, it will not be difficult matter
to handle.
1t does not matter who has been
right or who has been wrong in the
past There is no use delving into
that old record And if you did you
would likely find light and wrong
on both sides, with the prePOnder-
ance not very great on either side.
But v ipe all that out. Let the past,
with its errors and mistakes and bad
feeling, alone. Make new contract
| for the future.
If you expect the people to obey
YOUR laws, you must obey the laws oil
the Supreme Court. The Supreme
Court has declared that it was un'
Lawful! to collect toll over this road in
its condition then. 1t ia in worse
condition now. These being The
facts-and these are the facts-you
have no right to collect this toll.
We repeat; you have no right tC
collect this toll. No right OF any
kind; moral or legal. 1t is exactint
} an unjust and unlawful tribute flOn
the people, and whenever they re
fuse to pay it-as very many of then
are talking of doing-it will throw
the County into endless lawsuits tina
cannot be successfully defended.
t 1t would be very easy and yer.
3 simple thing for the County Court t.
t maze a contract with somebody tina
) they should make the grades as they
should be, put the road beds ant
bridges in proper condition, and keel
them so, and for this outlay OF none.
and attention to the work ALLOW
reasonable toll to be charged.
e This would be a fair, reasonable
Just settlement, and such a settle
: ment would sticl- The people woul
endorse it, but they will not lon
q submit TO anything that is oneside
and unfair.

HOW TO PREvENr CHOLERA.

1t lies within each individuals power
to assure his own personal saiety al
most beyond a per-adventOre. He has
hut to drink no water and milk except
such as have been thoroughly boi.ed
and to eat no food that has not been
Thoroughly and freshly cooked. lie
will abstain from butter and cheese
and may then possess his soul IN Sc
renity. Cholera will pass him by.
We clip the above from the New
York correspondent Of the Associa-
ted Press as timely bit of advice
that may be adopted with advaL-
tage. We do not guarantee the in
fallibity of the abstinence he sug-
gests, but we have no doubt it would,
IL followed, lessen the probability OF
contracting the plague. At any rate 1t
will do no harm to follow the sugges-
ton II the disease should approach
nearer to us.

CHOLERA IN NEW YORK

The dreaded Asiatic scOurge has
obtained a hold in the city OF New
York. The health officers announced
yesterday that there had been five
deaths from the disease in the city.
The first OF it's victims died Septem-
Der the 5th and the others at inter
walls since. 1t has therefore been In
the city for ten days without the
public knowing it. In the cases OF
them all, there was suspicion OIL
cholera, but the doctors could not de-
ciIe positively until they had sub
iected the intestines of the suspects
to u process of experiments. These
experiments show the genuine
AsIatic cholera germ and left no
doubt but that terrible plague has
found Judgment and caused the death
of the people mentioned.
While this news will spread con-
sternatiou throughout the entire
country it will cause no great surprise.
For weeks plague infected ships have
been arriving at New York. They
have been held in the lower bay OF
the harbor and the most rigid guam
tine ras been enforced. But 80 in
sidious are the approaches Of the hide
Gus disease and so innumerable are
the avenues by which 1t might creep
| in, that the most sauguine could not
reasonably hope that it would not
sooner or later effect a landing on
our shores.
| How it was introduced into the city
is a profound mystery even to the
health officers. The five victims
lived at different places in the city
and, with one exception, none OF
them could have caught it from the
others. 1t is rumored that it was
brought from the plague ships by the
butchers who sold them meat, bu
this is not we'll authenticated.
The great wonder is that it did no
invade the city sooner. 1t is en-
couraging, how ever, that it has made
no greater Roadway in the ten day.
that have elapsed since its frs
victim died. Comfort nay also b'
drawn from the fact that the health
officers had all the affected people il
charge and have taken every precau
ton to prevent the disease spreading
from them. Physicians are watch
lug all patients carefully and will us'
every expedient known to medica
skill to isolate them and disinfec
everything connected with them.
1t IS hoped that it's ravages may b
stopped where they are. But il /
should spread to other parts OF thu
country, 1t will probably be By
gradual stages and we may reason
ably hope that it will not reach herr
before frost which will kill the germs
according to some authorities. Their
seems to be a diversity of opinion
however, as to whether frost does pu
an end to the disease. 1t seems tina
it does in this latitude, though it ha
been known to rage in Russia in thu
dead OF winter.
But whatever may be the proba
biIity of it's not reaching US, WI
should take every precaution agains
, it. Every one knows that absolute
, cleanliness is the first essential anC
every one can aquint himself will
other preventives, who will read thu
papers or seek the information.

cate the election OF the Democratic
nominees for state offices by ma
jority OF 80, 1000. This majority is a
third larger than was claimed by the

announcement OF the result was
made. The discontinue of the un-
