CALLED BACK,


An Extraordinary Session OF the Kentucky
Legislature Ordered by Gov. Brown.
FRANKFORT Aug. 20.-Gov. Brown
Friday issued proclamation convcning
the general assembly in extraordinary
session August %. There was great
surprise here when it became known
that the governor was preparing the
proclamation calling for an extra ses-
sion just ten days after its adjourn
ment. The governor has been in con-
sultation with the members of the re-
visory commission and other prominent
lawyers and judges since Tuesday, and
has every reason to believe that he has
taken the proper course, and the re-
sponsibility of so much unconstitutional
legislation will be put where it really
belongs, on the legislature.

VOLUNTARY END
Of Brief Career Of Extravaganza and
Debauchery.
Henry Ei,i.r, With Legacy, Leaves His
Country Home For City Life and Its
Fast Pleasure-Wine, Women, Rae
ing and then the End-Suicidc.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 2O.-Lying up
on his back with his face bathed in
blood, which still oozed from his mouth,
Henry Eisclcr was found in his room
Friday evening, stone dead. 1t was the
voluntary end Of brief career of reck-
less extravaganza and wild debauchery.
Eiseler was born and reared in the little
town of Charleston, III.
Three years ago he became of age
and received his patrimony of $4,000
IN cash. He soon found the village too
small for him and came to Louisville,
where for two years he cut a wide
swath. Nothing was too goodsfor htsn,
and wine, women, horse races. and
cards sucked up his . fortune
with inconceivablc rapidity. At the
end of two years he was paupOr.
Contrary to the usual course in such
eases, however, Eiscler accepted his fate
manfully, and discarding his fast hab-
its, save that of drinking, which had
obtained too firm hold on hSn, he
struck out to earn his livelihood. lie
was employed in n grocery store and in
the l.. and n railroad offices, but he
had no business training and soon lost
these places. Last winter he obtained
a situation in Sulzer & Vogt's boiler
works as a laborcr, owing even this
poor service to the friendship of Henry
Nogt, one of the firm, who was attracted
by the young fellows pluck.
Last spring however, Mr.. Vogt died,
and young Eiscler was discharged,
Since then he has had no employment,
and recently he seemed to grow des'
pcratc and began TO drink. heavily.
Friday he and his roommate, Joseph
Stey, ate dinner together and went up
to their room in Farmers Home hotel,
Stcy soon after leaving to 90 to his busi-
ness. At 6 o'clock Stcy returned and
found the door of the room locked and

Murderer Evans Executed.

New ORLEANS, Aug. 20.--Chas. Evans,
the murderer of Sheriff w. II, Cook, of
st. Tammany parish, was hung at Gov
ington Friday in the presence of 1,50O
people. The law in Louisiana has for
the past few years required the hang
ing of all criminals to be in private,
with not over fifteen witnesses present.
The crowd at Covington, many OF
whom =. had come miles to wit
ness the hanging, became disappointed
and disgustcd when they found that
they were being shut off from the hang
ing, and, attacking the wall around the
jail, pulled it down and rushed on the
scene.

A Big Grain Movement.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Aug. 22. The yards
of the Santa Fc Railway Co. at Argen-

blocked. Trains Of freight cars, cN-
tending from Argentine to Turner, a
distance of four miles, were occupying
the main line and there was no track
room to get them out of the way. The
great number of cars is due to the very
heavy grain crop of Kansas which is
now moving. Other roads are equally
involved in the great blockade.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug 22.-The war
Is over, and Gen. Cnrncs is the hero of
the hour. The miners who were cap
tured will be tried tomorrow in the
circuit court at Clinton. About 4
o'clock Sunday morning the Chickasaw
guards, who were protecting the bat
terry, were approached by body OF
men, presumably miners, whom they
challenged, and failing TO get any re-
sponse, fired on them, when they dis
appeared in the darkness. 1t was too
dark to determine just who they were,
but they were supposed TO be body OF
miners who had sncakcd down from the
mountains and were attempting to spike
the battery.
Fresh prisoners are being brought in
every few minutes Gen. Carnes in
structed his men to show no quarter
where resistance is offered. Said he:
IF they offer to shoot at you, shoot
them down like dogs, and leave them
for the hogs to eat I'll see that their
bodies are not moved. No law in Chris
tendon will convict you for killing
these villains in self-dcfcnse. They
would kill the last one Of you if they
had chance, and | want you to show
no quarter when they resist"
The situation is unchanged, but the
trouble is far from over Some Of the
most dcspcrete miners, who have not
been captured, have told some of their
friends that they would have revenge.
Their method Of fighting is cowardly,
and whenever they are charged they
always retreat, although in practically
impregnable positions. The main dap.
ger from them is bushwhacking, in
which piece of villainy they are very
expert.

of his position. lie is about 4 mile from

THE AMERICAN STRIKES.


LoNDoN, Aug, 93.-The Daily News,
commenting on the American strikes,
strongly denounccs what it terms the
"barbarous and trcachcrous" methods of
the strikers, especially the miners. 1t
says; These men are not entitled to the
name strikers, in its ordinary sense.
They are not even insurgents, who re-
spect the ordinary laws of war They
are destroycrs of life and property. No
wonder that public feeling throughout
America is aroused to great degree
against these desperadoes; and bearing
the circumstances in mind, we must
make due allowance for the substance
and tone Of COY. Buchanan's proclama-

ers lynched, but it will be an evil day

resolution Passed by the Directors Or

IN the Hands of state Officers
Tor the Last -Four Years, . .

NEW York, Aug, 23-Col. A. S. Col.
var, who is general counsel for the
tennessee Coal and Iron Co., is at the
flfth Avenue hotel. lie said he was
not in New York to confer with Thos.
y PIatt, president of the company, re-
garding the convict labor troubles in
tennessee, but was on his way to Bos-
ton on legal business.
There is no particular reason why I
should see Mr.. Platt on the subject of
the Tennessee uprising" said Col. Col.
var. The officials of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Co., Mr.. Platt included,
are of one mind in that matter, and the
company is certainly not in any way
responsible for this disgraceful condi-
tlon of affairs in the state.
IN resolution passed by the board of
directors, freely Offering to surrender
the convict lease, has been in the hands
of the state officials for over four Years.
ana the company eXacts no conditions
in ma'ling the surrender.
"Thc Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.
Will renew its offer to surrender its
lease, and it will probably insist that
vs. xfcr be acccptd'l- and the lcgisla-
ture will then have to determine
whether it shall again endangcr
the financial reputation of the state by
undertaking pcniten,iary enterprises
which will entirely remove convict
labor from the contract system, or
whether it shall endanger The reputa-
tion of the state as an orderly and
pcaccab|c community and ALLEVIATE the
anti-convlct-labor voters by looking
about for another company that is will
ing to pay the state for the labor of the
convicts.
zone thing is certain, that when the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Co once gives
mp its lease it will never again employ
convict abor. One of the chief reasons
which first induced the company to
take up the system was the great
chance which it seemed to present for
overcoming strikes. For some years
after we began the convict labor sys-
ten we found that we were right in
calculating that free laborcrs would be
loath to enter upon strikes when they
saw that the company was amply pro-
yidcd with convict labor, and as ! am
one who does not approve of the con-
vict system, ! don't mind saying that
for many years the company found this
an effective club to be held over the
heads Of the free laborcHS. But the
clamorings of the people for the past
few years, combined with the rcccn;
disgraccful events, have disgustcd the
company with the whole business, and
