Contradictory Rumors and Reports
About That L 6, N, Deal.
The C0urier-Journul Of Wednes.
day contained a railroad article from
which this is taken:
"a report reached Louisville last
night that the Louisvilla and Nash
vile deal for the purchase of the
Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern
was Off, and that the former would
not assume control Of the Hunting
ton road.
The deal is said to have been de
clared off because of the bitter opposi
ton of the London shareholders oI
the Louisville and Nashville. They
objected TO the purchase OF the road
and also to the benefits given the IL
linois Central in return for its loan oI
credit. Some of the shareholder:
disposed Of their stock, aud as a re
suit stock took tumble, from which
it has not yet rallied. 1t was even
worse on Wall street yesterday. The
cabled report that the foreign stock
holders we're growing more dissatis'
fed caused stock which opened at AZ
to drop to 46 II, at which figure il
closed
Nothing could be learned at Louis
vile about the truth Of the report, but
ihe following special from New York
to the afternoon papers removed al
doubt on the subject;
&C. P. Huntington said this morn
ing that all the details OF the sale by
him Of the Chesapeake, Ohio anc
Southwestern railroad to the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad had beer
completed and that the sale was al
accomplished fact. Chairman Bel
mout, Of the Louisville aud Nashville
says there is no truth in the report
that the deal with the Chesapeake
Ohio and Southwestern has beer
abandoned "

A "Komicai Nuss.
Jessamlne Journal.


The most "amoosin' critter" that
will be in the next Kentucky House
of Representatives will be jeremiah
Vardeman Crenshaw, who defeated
the Democratic nominee in the Buliitt
aud Spencer district by more than
500.
"Uncle Yard, as he was generally
known, was for years magistrate in
Bullitt county, was once elected Coun-
ty Attorney aud indicted for usurps-
ton because Of impotency, has sew
eral times aspired to other Offices in
the git Of the people, and bienpsliy
has sought a seat in the Legislature
for many years, but with the excAp
tions noted, was always defeated.
Many amusing and truthful stories
are told Of the farcical judgment rem
dered in his magistrates court. 1t is
said that on one occasion, in render
ing a judgment against a defendant
he ordered the constable to levy sub
iect to a private debt due "the court" "
He is about 20 years old, a farmer,
lawyer and politician, well-to-do, illit-
crate and penurious. He is "sgin
taxes to any amount and for any
purpose, aud also against every step
forward, such as good roads and 9th
or improvements. His election is due
not in any sense to his fitness or pop
ularity, but to the unpopularity OF the
nominee and to certain forces behind
him, the very unfitness Of the mem
ber-el adding tremendous weight
to the protest OF the people.
Representative Crenshaw will sf-
ford rare sport for newspaper cores
pondents. He made his canvass on a
mule, and is under promise to ride
the animal to Frankfort. But how
ever he should come, the correspon-
dents should meet him at the city's
gate with a brass band and give a
warm welcome to the best subject
they have had in the House since the
war.

a Policy Of ProserlnlIon.

One OF the low down, contempu-
bic methods resorted to 10y the whip
pers-in Of the Republican clique has
come to light since the election. IL
is we'll known that the more in-
teligent colored voters, especially
the school teachers, supported Prof.
Frogge. The Colored Institute OF
the county endorsed him as body
and nearly every colored teacher in the
county who had a vote cast IL for the
man who had done more for their
schools than every Republican in the
county put together. Finding that
the teachers could not be driven
from Frogge by the methods usually
resorted to to control the colored
voters, tberingsters next undertook to
destroy the influence Of the teachers
by telling the ignorant classes that
the educated, stuck-up professors
we're trying TO control their votes for
the "Dimercrat ticket" This was
not altogether successful, because the
teachers were generally at the meet
ings held and more than once they
protested in vigorous language and
earnest arguments against the dirty
methods the self constituted bosses
were caught resorting 20.
Then they decided upon a policy oi
prescription. As one Of the ringsters
put in, they determined to strike EN-
where their bread was They insin'
uated themselves amongst the colored
trustees, advising aud urging them tc
