Miscellaneous.

A FATAL fight occurred on election
day at Tazwe1l. G. G. Cloud, a member
of the last Legislature, was shot through
the brain and killed by Deputy United
States Marshal Clapp.
Mrs. Z. M. FowLkEs, for IS years
resident of Jackson, died last week,
aged 73 years. She was born in Camp
bell County, Va, and went to Jackson
when five years old. A large family of
children survive her.
LESTER II. GALE and w. E. Turner,
late teller and bookkeeper of the City
Savings Bank, who left July I'd with
all the banks cash, and were captured
in Mexico, were returned to Nashville
last week About SIS, 900 was recovered,
so that Gales shortage is only So, 500
and Turner's $40.
THE little 2-year-old son of Davis
Hanna, of Knoxville, while out playing
in the yard last week, came upon pile
of old bottles. Seeing one partially
filled he drank down its contents, and
fifteen minutes later was corpse, all
efforts of the physicians to save him
being useless. The bottle contained
preparation for cleaning clothes.
A DRUNKEN boy named Jesse Blood
worth went into the postoffice at Edge
field Junction, near Nashville, last
week, and asked for his mail. He be-
came angered when Postmaster Remley
told him there was none for him, and
attacked Mr.. Remley with a murderous
knife, stabbing him in the abdomen and
infiicting fatal wound.
AFFAIRS at Coal Creek, the scene of
last winters mining troubles, are not by
any means in very encouraging condi-
ton. 1t seems the miners are growing
restless under the continued presence of
troops and their enforced subsection,
and find many sympathizers among the
mountaineers. Numerous outrages have
been committed of late on soldiers sent
out singly, and the situation has become
SO strained that it has been deemed adj
visable to increase the force of guards.
THERE is rumor in railroad circles
that the Paducah, Tennessee & Ala
bama Railroad Company, which recently
purchased the Tennessee Midland, be-
tween Memphis and Nashville, is nego-
tiating for the Newport News & MISS
sippi Valley. This deal would give the
Ohio Valley road to the new corpora
ton, which is holly in opposition to the
Louisville & Nashville, and would mean
a powerful Louisville e Nashville COM
petitor for that roads business between
the cities named.
JIM LEssENBY and lisa Roe were way
laid and shot from ambush in Gibson
County last week. Roe's horse became
frightened and ran away. Roe procured
assistance and returned to the scene of
the shooting and found Lessenby lying
in pool of blood with gaping wound
in the back inflicted by 44-calibre re-
volver. Some time ago Joseph Williams
eloped with Lessenby's daughter and
the girl wBs compelled to return home
by her father. The fatally wounded
man claims the shooting was done by
Williams.
A SENSATIONAL bill has been filed in
the Federal Court pertaining to the
boom of the city of Kimball in Grundy
and Morrow counties. The docum emf
recites that c. r. Richardson in March,
1889. loaned J. c. Wall, j. w. Wall, w.
z. Donaldson and j. w. Hudson S25, 200
in cash and $50, 900 in the following
April. Deeds of trust were given on the
company's landed property to secure
the notes, but by some oversight the
notes themselves were never delivered,
although the money was loaned, None
of the principal or interest has been
paid. The suit seems to indicate that
the defendants are trying to avoid pay
ment and decree is asked for the amount
involved, the land to be subject to exc
cution.
THE County Court of Davidson County
held a special session last week to re-
ceive the report of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the condition of
affairs at the county farm. The com
mittee report Superintendent Bowen to
be wholly incompetent; the pauper and
insane departments were in filthy
condition, and female inmate had re-
Gently given birth to child: everything
was run in very loose style, the super
intendent raising his own stock at the
county's expense, fighting chickens on
count of pay patients. The commits
missioners also neglected their duties
