Gen. Buckner's Boat
Touched At CIoverport Last Thurs
day Night On Its Way to
Green River.
A NICE LITTLE CRAFT.

Ex-Governor Buckner spent last Thurs
day night in Cloverport the guest OF Geo.
w. Jordan.
Gen. Buckner was on his way to Num-
fordville in new boat WHICH he had
built for his own special use. His vessel

of river-going craft and it has just been
built at the famous ship-yard of Capt.
Ed. Howard, Jacksonville, Ind. 1t is
not steamboat, but gasboat being
propelled by four-horse power gas en-
CINE of the "Sintz" pattern, built express
ly for this craft at Grand Rapids, Michi-
gan. The hull is twenty-fvefeet long,six
feet wide and thirty inches deep. The
shape and model is of the flatboat pattern
and it is built Of galvanized iron. 1t is
of very light draft, has cushioned seats
in the cabin with an awning overhead.
She is stern wheel, and will accommo-
date ten or twelve persons comfortably,
while as many as twenty could crowd
aboard. She was built under the special
supervision of Gen. Buckner and he has
honored the novel little craft with the
name OF his wife, "Delia." Gov. Buck
ner built the boat to combine business
with pleasure.
When not running her on fishing or
hunting expedition on beautiful Green
river, he will use her in the fall and win

farm, and products from his farm to the

THE INSTRUCTIONS,
Given The Jury In The Case of the
Holmes Heirs Against the Railroad.

Breckenridge Circuit Court, c. L.
Holmes and others, plaintiff VS. L. st. i.
4 T. R'y Co., defendants.
Judge McBeath instructs the jury to
find for the railroad company. He holds
the ordinance OF the City Council valid
and says the switch can be maintained as
now constructed.
"The court instructs the jury that the
Common Council OF the City of Glover
port had the right to and did by its orii-
nance authorize the defendant to con-
struct its switch from its main line to the
Patton Vitrifed Brick Works in and
across Murray Avenue in said City Of
Cloverport on such grade as may be nee
essary and defendant under its charter
had the authority to construct and Oper-
ate It's switch to said works and in a
reasonable and proper manner. 1t does
not appear from any evidence in this
case that in the construction of said
switch or in the grading of said Avenue
by the defendants, any part of plaintiffs
property has been injured. There is
some evidence going to show that plain
tiffs have been Inconvenience in the
ingress to and egress from their property,
by reason Of the cutting away of a portion
of said Avenue lying in front OF their
property by the necessary grading of said
Avenue by defendant for its switch, but
this is a consequential damage for which
there can be no recovery under the law,
and the jury are instructed to find for de-
PENDANT. To which ruling the plaintiffs

A MEMBER OF the State Senate said to
the News last week that there was no
probability of the State Capital being
moved to Louisville. While he admit
ted that the offer of one million dollars
was an extraordinary inducement to put
the capital there, he didn't think enough
votes could be secured in each branch of
the Legislative assembly to carry the
proposition. In the Senate it required
thirty-six votes to carry and at no time
now was there ever an average attend
ance of more than thirty. In the House
it required seventy.fve votes and he
didn't think that number could be secur-
ed there. AS for himself he favored the
removal, but believed that it would be a
failure before the Legislature, as a body.

Beware of 0intments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury.

As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip-
tons from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.
J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o., contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces OF the system. In buying Halls
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine.
1t is taken internally, and made in

Of Hawesville's Prominent Young
Men Arrested.
For Associating With The Gay And
Giddy Emma Goldsmith.
FoRNICATioN THE CHARGE.

HAwEsvILLE, KY, May %, 1893
Especial. )-Hawesvill has been in ex-
element for several days over the now
notorious Emma Goldsmith. Emma
has had several escapades in and around
this city, but her last and present one
has caused more talk and excitement
than all the others combined. About
two weeks ago she arrived here on the
10 o'clock train at night and was immedi-
ately arrested by marshal Mason and
lodged in Jail. The next day she was re-
leased and proceeded to leave town,
going towards Greensboro. She did not
go far but found convenient shelter
one mile AMI half below here at what
is known as the Taylor house. Here
she has been for ten days keeping house
and having company all the time, some
times as many as twenty-five men being
with her. This continued until Friday
when the good citizens complained of
the conduct going on and Judge Faber
issued warrant for the arrest of giddy
Emma and ordered Sheriff Baker to
arrest all persons found in her company.
She was arrested and tried and the result
was that Emma was fined $40 and cost
while Sheriff Baker was ordered to arrest
seventeen prominent young men OF this
city on the charge of fornication. The
trials are set for Tuesday at 10 o'clock
and a racy and interesting session is
looked for.

THE City Council and the Texas Rail
road prevailed in the suit for alleged
damages to the Holmes property by the
building OF the switch. There were no
damages, in fact the city had the right to
grant the right of way over the street for
the switch and that the railroad had the
right to operate it. OF course it was not
the intention to damage anybody's prop
erty in that locality, and the unbiased,
unprejudiced citizen when he looks at
the surroundings must say that such is
not the case. The switch to the Patton
Brick Works opened up new industry
for Cloverport and brought thousands of
dollars TO the town. 1t is certainly a
public benefit and is indirectly felt by
everybody. Now, let US move along al
together and quit croaking over imagin-
airy evils. The instructions OF the court
in the case are given in another column.
The case was withdrawn from the jury.

OLD NICK AND THE Foul PIPE.'
There is a droll story in British
Goblins,' a collection Of Welsh le-
gends and fairy tales, by Writ Skies,
which purports to account for the
Jack O. Lantern and furnishes
another example of the arch fiend's
stupidity in his traffic with man
kinda common theme of popular
fiction all over Europe. An old
fellow named Sion Dafydd, used to
converse with the children in the
bottomless pit One day. on his
way to Llanfair- Fechan, carrying
his fail on his shoulder, for he had
some corn there to thresh, whom
should Sion meet but the old fiend
from the pit, with bag on his back
containing two little devils like
himself. After conversing some
time they began to quarrel, and
presently they were in the midst of
IA terrific fight. Sion fell to bast-
ing the two little devils with his
fail till the bag burst and they
turned out and fed. Sion went on
his way rejoicing. A long while
after this encounter Sion met old
Nick again, and this time he had
his Loaded gun on his shoulder.
What's that long thing you carry p
says the Dell. That's my pipe,'
says Sion. May / have Whit out
of it? by all MEANS and here
Sion puts the muzzle of his gun
between the fiend's lips, draws the
trigger, and fires it down his throat.
'Whew = cries the fiend, your
pipes very foul, and vanishes in O
blue flame. On another occasion
Sion sold himself to Old Nick for
value received to wit, that whose
ever should climb his apple tree
should not be able to come down
without Sion's permission. When
the Dell comes at last for Sion he
is caught fast and sure in the APP
pie tree, and cries of his bargain.
In the long run Sion dies, and as
he is refused admission both above
and below he, hovers about as Jack
o. Lantern.-London Notes and
Queries.

TRIMMED TO SUIT Hin.

For years there stood in front Of
the Grand Army Hall in Washing
ton an old soldier who appealed for
aid from the multitudes who passed
him each day. One of his arms was
missing, one Of his legs had been
carried away by a shell, and his face
was filed with scars, each OF which
told story Of some fierce struggle
with the enemy. On his breast he
wore the conventional G.. A. Z.
badge, and the veterans who passed
out Of the hall day by day remem-
bered the old soldier in his helpless
ness and many small coins dropped
into the hat he held.
One day there passed the veteran
an old man whose dress and figure
clearly showed that he was one Of
the old time Southern gentlemen.
A slight limp and the use of q heavy
stick told without words o record
with the boys in grey. He spies the
old soldier, and after reading his
appeal dived down into his pocket
and pulled forth q shining silver
dollar. lie looked into the stran.
gers face, and with o kindly smile
dropped the coin into the battered
and weather-stained hat. A lool
of wonder and surprise came over
the battle-seamed countenance oil
the Grand Army veteran. Then h
reached for the Southerner's hand
and with voice softened by emo
ton said:
Il say, Colonel, will You explain
one thing to me-?
why certainly was the res
ponse.
What l want to know is why you
Colonel, man who fought agains
