Miscellaneous.

THOMAS JONES was acquitted in the
Criminal Court of Davidson County
last week on the charge of numbering
one. Jones father was assassinated in
cold blood about a year ago by j. j.
Winters and his brother Andrew Win
ters When their case was called in
the Criminal Court last spring, Thomas
Jones shot j. j. Winters as he was
leaving the courtroom. Andrew Win
ters was tried about month ago and
sentenced to twelve years in the peni-
tentiary.
BURGLARS visited the little hamlet of
Yorkville, an interior point in Gibson
county, last week. They entered the
a hole In his safe, applying enough
dynamite to blow it almost to atoms.
They robbed it of $40 in cash and pack
age of notes and mortgages. They Wis
isited other stores in town and did
more or less damage.
THE Magnolia livery stable and
twenty odd head of horses at Murfrees-
boro were burned last week. This is
the third time within two years that a
stable on the same site has been burned.
THE dead body of Wesley Howard, of
Houston, Tex, was found near a trestle
between Brownsville and Jones Sta
ton, on the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad, last week. He was identified
by letters, notes, ETC., found in his
pockets, and from which it seems he
was on his way to Lebanon, this State,
to be married to a Miss Hill of that
place. The appearance of the ground
indicated that he had crawled a few
feet from where he fell. It is supposed
he fell from train in attempting to
pass from one coach to another. His
pockets contained nearly 500 in cash
and two notes aggregating about $500.

Frofredi1 g fer Natural Cfe.


TRENTON, Nov. 2.-For years past the
opinion has prevailed in this section
that natural gas would be found in
abundance beneath the soil in Lake
County, near the famous Reelfoot Lake,
which was formed years ago by severe
earthquake. Earthquakes are of fre-
quent occurrence in that immediate
vicinity, and hardly a week passes that
one of more Or less force is not perceptibly
felt by the inhabitants of that mysteri-
Gus country. The lake proper is but a
few hours over days journey from this
place, and large number OF the sport
ing inclined citizens of this county en-
Joy themselves on its banks every year.
1t was through one of these visits that
scheme was put on foot some months
ago to organize stock company to bore
for gas. The enterprise has finally
proven success. SO far as backing Is
concerned, and today Joe B. Seat and
David Dickson left for that region to
undertake the task. They are fully
equipped for the venture and are conf
dent of striking gas within few hun
dred feet of the surface, but they have
gone prepared to bore thousands of feet
if necessary. Should they be success
full it will be great step forward for
Tennessee, especially the western por
tion, and Memphis in particular, as the
gas can be piped to that city easily and
used in manufacturing, lighting and
heating at very small expense. There
is money behind the scheme and this
entire community wishes the advent
urerS success.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
The Crop Outlook.


Ninety-three of the ninety-six coun-
ties in the State send reports upon
which the following review of the crop
situation is based. Three counties,
Lake, Weakley and Macon, sent no re-
ports for October:
Corn-A decrease of 1.3 is noted in the
probable yield of corn, as compared
with the estimated condition, as shown
in our September bulletin. Winds and
beating rains during last month, doubt
less did much to bring about the change.
Cotton-This crop shows an increase
of LIZ in the estimated yield, when COM
pared with the report of condition for
last month. This is something of sur
prise, as it was generally thought the
rain in September and frosts during the
present month would nave damaging
effect. The proportion picked to date
October 2O) is represented by "a.
Tobacco-No material change is noted
in tobacco. In our September bulletin,
82.2 represented the condition, while
the returns for October give yield,
with the entire crop housed, S5.4 of
full crop. In some sections it was found
necessary to cut much of the plant in q
green state to avoid damage by frost.
Peanuts-A falling off of several
points is noted in the yield of this crop.
The season has all along been unfavor-
able, and the severe frosts between the
10th and goth of the present month
killed the vines and made it necessary
to dig the nuts before they had fully
matured.
Sorghum-Sorghum has Jared about
as we'll as tobacco during the past
month, no change being noted. The
condition, as given in our September
tables, showed S2.4, while the figures
for October are S2.3.
Stock Peas-The yield of stock peas
is represented by 1873, while our Sep
tember report gave the estimated con-
dition as IA of full crop. In some
sections the pea hay was badly dam
aged by frost.
Irish Potatoes (Second Crop)-The
yield of second crop Irish potatoes, 60.2
of a full crop, prove disappointment
to many farmers.
Live Stock-The rains in September
did much to bring out the fall pastures,
and as a result all kinds of stock are in
satisfactory condition. The farmers
also have reason to be thankful for a
fine mast crop, which will go far to
make up the shortage in the yield Of
corn. Some diseases are reported, but
nothing generally alarming. Hogs are
scarce and command good prices, while
other stock is plentiful, with no demand.

A Crank and His Mission.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Nov. GA; dam
gerous crank, who wants to displace
President Cleveland, was arrested here
yesterday. His name is Elmer E.
Raub, and he is from Finney, Henry
county, Mo. He arrived here yester-
day, having started from his home
with the avowed intention of becom-
ing the president of the United States
The conductor of the train which
brought him to Kansas City, recogniz-
ing the dangerous character of his
passenger, telegraphed police head
quarters to arrange for his arrest upon
the arrival of the train. When the
train came in, two policemen arrested
him and locked him up. Upon being
examined by sergeant of police he
said he was going to Washington.
II am going to succeed Cleveland"
he added, first, / shall study politics
from the practical point of view and
then / shall become president. Cleve-
land must give way to me-

Are You a Crank?

Be crank! ltpays. II pays some
body else. OF course you will make
yourself disagreeable and people will
Shun you, and what is more they will
say nasty things about you. This
world does not like to be disturbed.
1t never did, nor will, take kindly to
the man who is forever stirring things
up. The individual does not like to
wage perpetual warfare against
evils which do not particularly affect
him. And this is why he kicks at
the crank. Every public benefactOr
is of necessity crank, for he dis
turbs the quiet of the selfish, and in
terferes with the schemes of men who
would rob their fellOwmen. All the
great leaders of religious thought
have been crankS. The men who have
died for liberty have been cranks.
Every man who has led slaves out of
bondage has heen a crank. 1t is only
under the leadership of cranks that
humanity sweeps on ward toward tue
circle of the younger day." A country
without cranks is a country without
progress, barbaric, land Of blood.
Cranks are now pouring into the Con-
go State by thousands-cOmmercial,
religious, scientific cranks, such a
mighty host as was never turned loose
upon a savage community before;
and everybody knows that a nation is
there being born in a day. Let us
honor the crank wherever We find
him, in church or state. He stands
for something. He improves our laws,
our houses, our shops, our farms, our
modes of travel, our manners; in
short, he is indispensable. .-Insur

Listen to the gOld-bug st. Louis
Globe Democrat:
1.-The duty of the Kansas Repub-
licans to elect Democrat to the SEN
ate if they cannot choose a Republi-
can is as clear and imperative as
ever. At all hazards the POpulists
must be beaten"
Now listen to old Bill Higgins, the
only anarchist who drew a gun in the
state house during the organization
of the legislature:
1T would be terrible blunder for
the Republicans to make a surrender
Of the United States senatOrShip or
any other Office to the Democrats.
1t is the duty of Republicans at this
time to stand for stalwart, honest Re-
publicanism and never consent to the
bartering away of the character and
principles of the party by a dicker Of
this kind. 1t would be doing just
what we condemned in the opposition
parties in the last campaign. If such
a trade was made our party would be
dishnnOred. not only in the eyes of
the Republicans of Kansas, but of the
whole nation"

The Supreme Court Of Colorado has
granted the notorious DR.. Graves,
convicted and sentenced to be hung
tOr the murder Of Mrs. Barnaby, of
Providence, Z. l.. a new trial on the
fimsiest kind Of technicalities and
imaginary errors. This virtually let's
the criminal free, as it is not likely
that the money for a new prosecution
can be had. Ex-ProsecutOr Stevens,
of Denver, declares that it is impOs-
sible to hang a murderer in that state
il he Can get his case before the Su-
preme Court, and charges that the

Banker Clews, of New York, has
been squeezed" by the trust on his
anthracite coal and seems to have be-
bone rank socialist" If Brother
Clews continues to hold such nation
aliStic views we will have to lay his
case before Judge Ray and George
Anthony. Ina current number of his
Bank Reporter he talks a good deal
like Kansas calamity howler. Hear
him:
ut would seem at the first glance
and upon general principles of Justice
that any combination of persons or
corporations owning and controlling
the supplies of a necessity of life af.
fected with design to increase the
price and restrict the use of such a
necessity must be illegal, as being a
violation of public policy and opposed
to good morals. Anthracite coal diff
fers from grain, cotton and other ne
ceSSitieS in this, that its supply can be
restricted and its use positively pro-
hibited. No concert of capitalists
can control wheat or cotton, since in
another year the acreage of each can
be so increased as to swamp the spec
ulatOrS. But anthracite coal is only
found in one locality, and outside of
that locality no one can find it or pro-
duce it. Given, therefore, a party of
people rich enough to buy these 5000
square miles in Pennsylvania, under
portions of which lie the only true an
thracite deposits of the United States
and they can compel the entire COM
munity to pay them any price they
may choose to ask for their coal or
use disagreeable and unwholesome
substitutes or starve with cold.
"But in view of the complications
which threaten society in the future
from similar or other combinations of
coal land owners and carriers, it may
be worth while to consider whether it
may not be the duty of the state of
Pennsylvania to condemn and take at
fair prices all the land within its bOr-
ders that is underlaid with coal, and
to offer its anthracite on royalty dur
ing fixed terms, to whOSOever will de-
liver it at tide-water, at the lowest
prices to dealers, competition will do
the rest. In this there would be no
violation of constitutional rights;
the state always possesses the right
OF eminent domain: it can condemn
