NOW REST EASY.
The Critical Period is Passed and the
World Still Revolving.

There are few people in Clarks-
vile who are surprised at being alive
this morning, and they have CRATE.
full look on their countenances. Last
night at 9:25 o'clock was the hour in
which the comet was to have knock
ed mother earth into a shapeless
mass, and as consequence there
was much comet talk in the city
about that hour. Star-gazers and
heaven -searchers were out with their
opera glasses trying to look hole
through the murky clouds which en-
veloped the heavens, shutting of
from view any pyrotechnical dis
play that might have been going on
beyond them. They gazed until af-
ter the appointed hour for the cur
tain to rise ON the. worlds receding
drama, and then went to dream OF
comets burning up the earth. A re-
porter ran across one benighted citi-
zen armed with a stack of Roman
candles with which he proposed to
light up the heavens. Another
one wanted to sell his drug store,
while a third was hunting an insur-
ance agent to increase a policy on his
stock. Squads were noticed around
the hotels listening to some fellow
who proved to be scientific igno-
ramus telling just how it was that
the collision was bound to take place.
You could hear most anything,
and a man with vivid Imagination
could have seen the earth as she
broke loose from her moorings and
shot out into space, being chased by
by a blood-thirsty comet. The crit
ical period is behind us now and bus
mess will seek Its former level, and
the timid ones will rejoice that they
are still alive.

THE NEXT HOUSE.
Capt. Mckee Says the democrats Wm
Have Eighty-two Majority.

WASHINGTON, Nov. H.-Since the
publication, Nov. 10, of the tables
showing the composition of the next
House of Representatives and estab-
fishing a Democratic majority of
ninety-two over the combined forces
of the Republicans and Populists,
the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee has rested content and has
not tried to revise their lists, which
at the time of preparation agreed
with those made by the clerk of the
House. Clerk Kerr has also aban-
doned any further tabulation for the
present and has gone out of town.
But at the Republican Congression-
al Committee rooms Capt. Mckee
has been doing some quiet figuring
with purpose Of scaling the maIori.
ty down somewhat, and he claims to
have succeeded. The figures used
by him as a basis of calculation were,
he says, collected in all but very few
instances, from the returns made to
the Secretaries of State of the various
States, and the table will be printed
as the official statement of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee.
The two Rhode Island districts,
where there was no election, have
been omitted from the calculation,
which results as follows: Democrats
elected 2ls, Republicans elected l2S,
Populists elected s, leaving the DEM
ocratic majority over the Republican
and Popullsts combined 80.

Druggists Who Substitute.

Beware of the druggist or general
dealer who, when asked for Lemon
Chill Tonic, has something 'Just as
good" or lust like it," We say the
person who habitually does this is not
the one to trust with your prescrip'
tions; he would be apt to substitute
if he hadn't what the prescription
called for would put in something
'just as good" There are many
tonics on the market, but none claim
to be better. Why then take the risk:
The persons whose names are attached

BEFORE THE BAR.
Geo. w. Avant Again Arranged
For Trial.
The Court Room Packed With People
Attracted By the Case-seieoting
Jury.

Criminal court OF Montgomery
county convened at the courthouse
this morning Judge Tyler presiding.
The court room was filed with peo-
pie long before the court was called
to order. This interest was caused by
the Avant murder case being the
first one on the docket. The scores
Of witnesses, the many friends OF
both sides of the case and some two
hundred men who had been sum-
moned as jurors, supplemented by
the members of the bar and crowd
of curiosity seekers filled the room
almost to suffocation.
The prisoner was brought into the
court room guarded by the sheriff
and a deputy. When he had taken
his seat near his counsel, many of
his friends came up and shook hands
with him, among whom were sew
eral ladies. He conversed pleasant
ly with all, but there was nervous
ness in his manner that was no
ticable by all who were In the court
room. Mr.. Avant has stood his long
confinement we'll, and looks perhaps
better than he did the day he was
put in Jail, over two years ago. His
features, however, are slightly disfig-
ured by the mental strain through
which he has passed, and while his
general health is good there Is much
evidence of strain on his mental
capacities.
Among the men who have figured
prominently in the case heretofore,
and who reside out of the city, might
be mentioned DIR. Wharton, OF Nash
vile, the expert chemist in the case.
DIR. Wharton arrived in the city last
night and was on hand when court
was called this morning. 1t will be
remembered that DIR. Wharton was
the chemist who made the analysis of
Mrs. Avant's stomach, and who tes-
tilted at the previous trial to having
found traces of strychnine In the
same. The expert testimony In this
case does not end with DR.. Wharton,
for the prosecution. DIR. Wickham,
of Palmyra, who astonished the
court, lawyers and jury with his
deep knowledge of the action OF the
various kinds of poison on the hu-
man system, Is a witness for the
prosecution, and the man who wish
es to know all about this branch Of
medicine can learn it by hearing DIR.
Wickham's testimony.
There was much anxiety mani
tested after court had been convened
as to whether the case would come to
a trial. This, however, was all put
at rest when both sides expressed
themselves as being ready. This
settled 1t and the work Of making
up the Jury was begun. This is a
very tedious job and will consume
nearly all day. At noon they had
only secured five. The case will oc-
cupy the time OF the court during
this week and possibly part OF next.
Since there will be several appli-
cants for the Office OF Clerk and Mas
ter, the Clarksville bar will hold a
meeting this evening to decide who
they will support. This meeting, 30
the LEAF CHRONICLE Is informed,
will be in the nature of a convention,
and may decide who the next Clerk
and Master will be.
