TOBACCO INSPECTORS.
Interest Centering in the Elec-
tion Next Monday Morning.
Something About the Number of Candt-
dates in the Field and the Salaries
of inspectors.

The interest in tobacco circles now
is all centered in the election OF four
inspectors, which takes place next
Monday morning at the Tobacco Ex-
change. The inspectors are elected
for one year by committee compos-
ed of the warehousemen and an
equal number of buyers. There will
be eighteen votes this time and ii
requires twelve to elect.
The Clarksville market gives en-
ployment to four inspectors, and
each Office is worth in the neighbor-
hood of three thousand dollars per
annum. From this salary, however,
the inspectors have to pay all re-
CARNATIONS. Some years this drain
on them is more than others.
There are always number of can
didates for the Office from the fact
that it's good thing. This year
there are some fifteen or twenty cam
didates, and they are all good men.
To start out, the four men now In
Office are candidates. They are Il.
l.. Porter, Frank Buckner, Dick
Ellis and Austin Peay, all fine fell
lows and good inspectors. They,
however, have pitted against them
men from all portions of the Clarks.
vile Tobacco District, who are rum
ming on their individual merits. The
LEAF-CHRONICLE has endeavored
to get list of the candidates, but the
following may not be complete:
Preston johnson, Robert GriAes,
Of Allensville, Capt. Thos. Mallory,
at present an auctioneer, Carr Long,
formerly of Robertson county, Sam
Grumley, of Elkton, Whit Radford,
of Christian county, w. f. Dohr-
mann, of Louisville, A. F. Smith, OF
this city, w. 9. Smith, of New
Providence, Thos. l.. Mabry, of the
Fourth district of this county, Chas.
Miller, of Trigg county, Jno. Young,
of Allensville, Thos. Browder, OF
Olmstead, and Thad. Watson, of this
county.
Inspectors are paid forty cents per
hogshead for inspecting tobacco, and
calculating that the market will sell
thirty thousand hogsheads per sea-
son, the total money paid to the four
inspectors would be $4,000, or $4,000
each. Now deduct the reclamation
costs from this amount and you have
the clear money made by Clarksville
| tobacco inspectors.

BURTON WEBSTER,
The Slayer Of Chas. e. Goodman. on
Trial.

Special to the Leaf -Chronicle.1
New York, Sept. 2i.--It Is be-
lieved that a jury will be secured to-
day which will be able to conclude
the second trial of Eurton Webster,
the book-maker who is charged with
the killing of Charles T.. Goodwin,
at the time one of the proprietors
and editors OF Goodwin's Turf Guide.
Goodwin was writing letter to his
wife who was West at the time and OF
whose existence the world did not
know, when Webster came In and
charged him with insulting Mrs.
Webster. A moment later the kill
ing occurred. Both men lived In tho
apartment house where the murder
occurred, one OF the finest In the city.
Webster's friends have taken charge
Of his horses since his incarceration
and through their manipulations he
is said to have netted something like
$4,000, which is being spent on his
defense. The case is attracting nat
ional attention, as both men were
known to the sporting fraternity
from one end Of the country to the
other.

at Somerset.

Special to the LeafChroniclel
Somerset, KY, Sept. 2l.-Joseph
B. Rucker, editor Of the Reporter,
was assassinated on his way home at
s o'clock Monday night, few yards
from the public square. The electric
lights had just been turned on as
Rucker reached the square. There
was flash, report, and pistol ball
passed into his body from the right.
The assassin escaped in the confus-
ion and Is unknown. Rucker ran rs
yards and fell, and was carried to his
home near by, where he died at 1890
a. M, surrounded by his wife and
two daughters. Mr.. Rucker was an
old and prominent citizen, the editor
OF an aggressive weekly paper and
had some enemies. Detectives are
on the groundi working every clue,
and, If caught, the murderer will be
lynched.
LATER CIRCUMSTANCES.
Special to the Leaf -Chronicie.l
Somerset, KY, Sept. 2l.-Ex.
Chief OF Police Anderson, of Somer-
est, is charged with the bloody as
sassination OF Editor Rucker, of the
Reporter, and is not to be found here.
There is a reward of 81 600 offered
for his arrest. Anderson was Chief
of Police of this city for two years,
but resigned about two months ago
and went into the saloon business
with Robert Coffey, of this city, who
says his partner, Anderson, has
skipped since the tragedy with all,
the money he could rake up.
A large black hat was found in q
garden just back of where the mur-
der OF Rucker happened, and it is
said to be the hat that the Chief of
Police has worn for some time, which
he purchased at the firm of Waddle
Brothers.
Editor Rucker has criticised the
Of Police several times for
his bad conduct, and the editor re-
ceived the approval of his criticism
from the best citizens of Somerset.
Mr.. Anderson has frequently made
threats against the editor of the Re-
porter, and everything points to the
guilt Of Anderson, and if he is cap
tured it will indeed go hard with
him, as 1t is the most dastardly deed
ever committed in the county.

Druggists Who Substitute.

Beware of the druggist or general
dealer who, when asked for Lemon
Chill Tonic, has something 'just as
good" or Just 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
can tell you that Lemon Chill Tonic
does everything we claim for it..

THE POLITICAL FIELD.

There are HOne men in this deal
against Democracy who are ready 10
do anything to have the Governor
Senator part OF the scheme work out
one way, and that way Is, "Win-
stead, Governor; John HI. Mcdowell,
Senator" And the men who are
working in this direction are men Of
influence in the political crazy quilt.
Their manifest intention is to cut
Gov. Buchanan cold, drop him from
the charmed circle, leave him unde-
tanned from entering again to the
cool, seques@fed role Of his farmer
way. A Republican, one of the kind
who is accustomed to- oiling the "ma-
chine," and who therefore knows all
about 1t, said the other day: eyes,
we'll beat lem, even if II takes John
Ell. Mcdowell to do it. We've got to
do it some way, and John HI. Nc
Dowell is a shrewd man." The next

The record-union., 1892-11-07

early yesterday morning after a lively
battle in a saloon. The row started when
Charles Christensen and Daniel Howard
drove up to the saloon in buggy. They
entered the saloon and opened an attack
on the piano player. Charles Dwyer, the
barkeeper, rushed to aid the pianist. In
an instant dozen men were holding
bloody carnival on the floor of the place.
knives and clubs were drawn and used
with effect When the police arrived
they found three men lying bleeding on
the floor, all of them dangerously
wounded. Nearly every article Of furni-
ture in the place was broken, and large
pools of blood dyed the floor.
As quickly as possible the injured men
were placed in the buggy, which still
stood at the door, and driven to the Re-
ceiving Hospital. When that institution
was reached the men were nearly dead
from loss of blood. The first man placed
on the table was Charles Christiansen.
The surgeon found no less than seven
knife wounds on his head, some of them
four inches in length. Charles Dwyer.
the barkeeper, had a dangerous stab in
the right side of his neck and big cash
on the scalp. Daniel Howard, the third
man, was found TO be suffering from an
incised wound on the right side of his
neck, and had several smaller cuts about
the head and face. All three of the men
tainted from pain and loss of blood, and
for time it was doubtful if either of them
would recover.

The Republicans Wind Up the Cam
patgn in Great shape.
The last rally of the campaign in Gait
before the political battle OF tomorrow
was held on Saturday evening, under the
auspices of the National Republican
League Club of that place.
Brewster's Hall, where the meeting
was held. had been handsomely deco
rated with flags and beautiful flowers for
the occasion by the ladies of Gait.
Before the opening of the meeting the
c!uD gave tine display of fireworks. D.
Z. Houghton, PresidsLt of the club, pre-
sided, and called ths large assemblage to
order. Many of the auditors were ladies.
Mr.. Houghton, after a few well-chosen
remarks upon the issues before the peo-
pie, introduced A. l.. Levinsky Of Stock
ton, who made telling address upon the
issues confronting the two great political
parties now contending for supremacy in
National affairs.
II. w. Johnson was next presented and
made an eloquent appeal for Republicans
to stand by the traditions of their party.
In referring to the charge made by some
Democratic speakers that the Republican
party was the party of the ariStocracy,
Mr.. johnson said it i'll becomes our polit-
lcaI opponents to make such an idle
charge. The history OF the Republican
party, he said, is the history of the pres
ent generation. The Democrats know to
well the falsity of such an accusation.
The rail-splitter, Abraham Lincoln, who
passed barefooted from the pra;ries of
Illinois to the highest place within the
gift of the people, possessed nothing but
American genius to commend him.
Grant, the greatest soldier of modern
times, graduated from the tanners bench,
trade which well became him in after
years in his tanning" business. The
immortal Garfield had no royal path
from the canal-boat to the rulership of a
great nation, and Benjamin Harrison,
the next President of the United States,
is only an American.
George w. Ficks followed Mr. johnson
IN an earnest appeal for the election of
John +. Davis to Congress and the entire
Republican county ticket.
Remarks were made by j. H. Dolan
and others, after which the meeting closed
With three rousing cheers for Harrison
and Reid.
During the evening the visitors enjoyed

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
Worth of Property Burned.
SAN BERNARDINo, Nov. Ga fire
broke out yesterday morning about 4
O'Clock, in the fourth story of the Stewart
Hotel block, in this city. When first
seen the smoke poured out from three
points on the roof about 80 feet apart.
The fire department responded promptly
and turned on five large streams, but
without avail. There being no fire walls
in the entire building, $50 feet by 200 feet
deep, the flames spread in all directions,
destroying one floor after another in its
descent.
By o'clock the entire building was
mass of ruins, and nothing remains to
indicate where, but a few hours before,
stood the finest commercial hotel and
business block in the city. The total loss
aggregates about 100000, distributed as
follows: Building, Sl35.O00; furniture,
$4,000. A large part of the lower floor
was occupied by the San Bernardino Ma
tionaI Bank; loss, $4,000. The Santa Fe
ticket Offices loss is $1,000; Connor IL
Dropers, real estate, Sl,5OO; the Postal
Telegraph Office, $500; Doran's news
stand, IL 800; Hale's jewelry store, $500;
Wilbur u Chandler, furnishing goods,
5000; Barnard's saloon, $500. The bank
and business houses succeeded in remov-
ing part of their stock.
