The Yellow Creek Bridge and Road.

Judge yIer went to the Twentieth
district to-day to investigate the road
question, which has been agitating
the citizens of that locality for some
time. The County Court, after much
discussion and committee reports, APP
propriatcd the money to build a
bridge across Yellow Creek. The
bridge was built; then the next
trouble was a road to it. A road was
opened, but it was so hilly and rough
that the approach 10 the bridge was
still difficult. An application was
made for another approach--a road
under the bluff or around the hill on
nyarly level ground. Parties prom
ised to give The right of way. This
Irder was made on condition that the
right OF way was granted. But the
road has not been opened or the ap-
proay h to the bridge made easy. Now
the citizens ere calling on the Judge
FOR the county convicts to build the
road, and this is what calls him away
to day, to have the right Of way set
tied and the road donat, d to the pub
lie before granting the last applica-
ton.

A MISERABLE FARCE.
People of Olarksville Gulled by lot Of
Simpletons.

The "Battles of the Late War" ut
the opera-house last night YVES seen
by fair.sized audience, and to say
that everybody was made very weary
puts it but mildly. 1t came he'e
recommended as good, and to make
the deception all the more complete
the Clarksville City Guards were en-
veigled into supporting it by an
nouncing that % per cent of certain
receipts would be given to that COM
pany. There was not one redeem
ing feature in it. There was not one
point where Il man could have given
the performance any praise. 1t was
a miserable conglomeration of moth
ing. A French harp, mandolin and
guitar. A few representations, or
daubs on canvas, called pictures,
were the BATTLES of the Late War"
The meeting of the Merrimac and
Monitor was represented by couple
of paper boxes gliding over blue
cheese cloth. To give this naval
battle further tone, one of the ignor.
amuses was behind the curtain blow
ing a French harp. A bigger farce
has never appeared in ClarkeviIle,
and perhaps never will.

tention of the chair to that, and the chair had
no right to make such a retort, even if he was
supported by the disorderly applause on his
side, which he permitted.
The Speaker-The chair will state that there
is no distinction, under the present rules of
the house, between the point of mo quorum"
and mo quorum voting" There is a distinc-
ton between those two points and the sugges-
tion of mo quorum present." as made under
the rules at the last session.
One of the most amusing scenes ever
witnessed in the house was when Mr..
Harter, of Ohio, in the course of a speech
on the silver bill, declared that the sill
yer barons had taken the people by the
throat and choked them, illustrating his
meaning by seizing Congressman Nc
Kaig, of Maryland, by the neck and Civ
ing him vigorous shaking. Shouts of
laughter greeted this performance, and
members sitting near by prudently
moved out of reach Of earnest Mr.. Har-
ter's hands.
Another funny scene was when Mr..
Harter and Mr.. Bland, leaders of OPP
posing forces in the silver fight, pulled
out their watches and held them up for
inspection. Mr.. Harter's watch was
gold and Mr.. BANDS silver, and the
earnest way in which they compared
them set the house in a roar.
A few days later there was another
exhibition of watches, when in the
course of the tariff debate Butler, of
Iowa, and Walker, of Massachusetts,
pulled out their timepieces and held
them aloft to illustrate their arguments.
Last week Speaker Crisp and Mr.. Bur-
rows, of Michigan, engaged in parliar
mentary combat. Mr.. Burrows persisted
in speaking when the speaker thought
he was out of order, and in the end the
gentleman from Michigan was compelled
to take his seat. But he had his revenge
on the speaker by engaging in fihbus-
tering campaign which prevented the
house doing any business for an entire
afternoon.
In the senate these colloquies do not
arise very often. Senators are exceed
ingly dignifed, scrupulously careful as
a rule, not TO walk on each others toes.

CAPITAL GOSSIP.
Chief Stafford Converses on the
Diamond Robbery.
The Belief Prevails That it Was n
Straight Out Steal-SomethinE
About the Recent Lynching.

! Chief Stafford returned last night
from a two.days' trip to Nashville,
and cOnversed freely to LEAF
CHRONICLE reporter this morning ON
matters of interest at the capital.
While there MI. Stafford had
look at the diamonds that were stolen
by Sheriff Smith, of Birmingham, the
details Of which affair are familiar to
readers of the LEAF. CHRONICLE. He
says that the general impression pre-
walls among the officers that it was
straight-out steal. The jewelry was
miXed-sOme common and some
fine. Smith aud his deputy had sort
ed it out, and every card that held a
fine piece of goods had the private
mark of the firm cut therefrom, leav-
ing nothing more than a general
knowledge of the goods by which 1t
could be identified. The common
jewelry, plated goods, had not been
molested, the cards still bearing the
private mark of the firm. The Jew
elers' protective association has decid-
ed aftt r investiga ing all the facts sur.
rounding the case, to prosecute Smith
and his deputy to the end. The asso.
citation believes they are guilty par
ties,and thinks there will be no trouble
in convicting them. The defense
will be on the ground that the jew
elry was taken during drunken
spree, with no intent of larceny.
Mr.. Stafford also had a good deal
to say about the recent lynching. He
does not think that a grand jury
could be found in the county that
would frame an indictment against
the leaders of the mob.
There is still much indignation
against Sergeant Chas. Davis, of the
police force, who is charged with
doing the shooting. Since one of the
men has died this indignant feeling
has increased, and Davis brother
officers do not think his neck would
be safe in Nashville.

IN TWO STATES.
Items of Interest in Tennessee
and Kentucky.
Something That VIII Interest the Readers
of the Great CIarksville To
baccO District.

The RusselIville Herald says that
a small crowd assembled in the court
house in that city last Saturday to Or
ganize the Peoples party, for Logan
county. Squire w. r.. Browder, of
the Olmestead district, was made
chairman of the meeting. The reso-
lutions adopted the st. Louis
demands of the confederation of
labor organization. Delegates were
also appointed to the Bowling Green
convention, and to State conven-
ton at the same place yet to be
named. Here is paragraph taken
from speech made in the cOnVen-
tion by S. N. Rudolph: /: 81 am going
tosupport the nominee of the Peoples
party, whoever he may be. The
Peoples party is the home of all

There is considerable excitement
at Daysville KY, little town over
in Todd county, over an election
which is to take place there May 16.
There is saloon in DaysvilIe and
the license expires soon. This
election is to decide whether or not
the saloon shall continue OF go dry.
A Hopkinsville merchant with an
eye to business purchased a lot of ad-
vertisipg devices similar to those
given the boys by MA Stratton some
time ago. They were so constructed,
it will be remembered, as to produce
a report when operated. The police
at Hopkinsvi'le, however, were or.
dered to stop the racket ,and forthwith
began arrestirg the boys. This
procedure causes the New Era to re,
mark that HopkinsviIle must have
quiet. No noise must be allowed on
the streets.

hurled back and forth, That is what
we ollookers in the halls of congress
like to see. A tilt on the floor empties
the cloakrooms and lobbies and fills the
press gallery in a twinkling. Every
one is eager to see the sparks fly. The
present session has been prolific of such
scenes. When Speaker Crisp and ex-
Speaker Reed met in the parliamentary
arena a short time ago a crowd gathered
around to enjoy the fray, A vote had
been taken on a motion that the house
take a recess, and Mr.. Enloe made the
point of order that no quorum had voted
Mr.. Reed-'rhe gentleman does not make the
point Of no quorum. He makes the point that
no quorum has voted.
The Speaker-Under the rules of the house
and the present administration of the house,
gentlemen are not considered present unless
they vote. Applause on the Democratic side ]
Mr.. Reed-Ihat shows, Mr. Speaker, that
there has been new system adopted since the
last congress.
The Speaker-That shows that the present
occupant of the chair will endeavor to enforce
the rules of the house. Applause on the Dem
ocratic sidc.]
Mr.. Reed Nevertheless, Mr.. Speaker, the
Observation lna1e is enluely correct, namely,
that the point which the gentleman from Ten
nesse made was that 10 quorum has voted,
while the chair announced that the point he
made was ''no quorum"
The Speaker-No quorum
Mr.. Reed-Yes, and my observation, not
withstanding the retort of the chair, was en-
tirely correct.
The Speaker-Perhaps it is, but it is entirely
out Oforder.
Mr.. Reed-It was entirely correct, and there
fore the chair had no right to make such re-
mark -
The Speaker-The gentleman may be cor
rect, when ut the same time he is out of order.
Mr.. ReedI was entirely in order when
called the attention of the chair to the fact.
The Speaker-The chair thinks not.
Mr.. Reed Entirely in order.
The Spcaker-The chair thinks the gentle
man is entirely out of order. There was no

almost altogether taken up by senators
Manderson and Cockrell, who carried on
an incessant conversational debate. 1t
was all in good temper, except on one
occasion, when Mr.. Manderson charged
Mr.. CocRrell with being common scold,
whereat there was a sensation, but Mr..
Manderson instantly softened his blow
by adding that he didn't object to scold-
ing so long as he had an opportunity to
scold back. No blood was shed.
More earnest and significant was re-
cent tilt between Senators Teller and
Sherman. The former, who is one of
the most courageous men in public life,
scored Mr.. Sherman soundly for at
tempting to shut off debate on the sill
yer resolutions. When he rose to reply
"grand old John Sherman" was evident
ly much stirred up, Teller had struck
fire. Mr.. Sherman, tall, gaunt, looking
more and more like his dead brother
Tecumseh as years are added to his
score swung his long arms about and
made a five minute speech, which for
vigor and effectiveness has rarely been
equaled in the senate. He denied that
he was trying to suppress debate on the
silver or any other question, He was
ready to discuss it now or at any other
time. Il make mistakes" he declared,
"but never run away" And to prove
his Willingness he threw at the silver
leaders a perfect hurricane of hot shot
from his well filled magazine, causing
more than one observer to say, There's
heap of hfe in the old man yet"
One of the nuisances of debate in the
house is the interruptions. If an orator
will permit it other members will take
up all his time with questions, some of
them pretty hard nuts to crack too. AS
a rule these Interruptions are taken
good naturedly, but occasionally a
speaker objects somewhat tartly. Wit
ness the following colloquy between
Pendleton, Of West Virginia, and Bou-
telle, of Maine:
Mr.. Boutele-Do you want an answer to that
question:
Mr.. Pendleton--I will be very glad to have
an answer.
