q. Clay Kings Last Scheme.

Col. III. Clay King, the murderer of
David H. Poston, now serving a life
sentence in the Tennessee penitentiary
as punishment for his crime, has
issued an address to the public in
which he makes some sensational
charges. He alleges that his convic-
,tion was brought about by conspiracy
between Judge Julius j. Dubois, of
Shelby county criminal court, and
relatives of Poston. Dubois, he asserts,
used every means in his power to Sc
cure conviction in order to placate the
Postons, who were his political ene-
mics. King also charges that Mrs.
Gideon j. Pillow and David II. Pos
ton, the murdered man, were Grimm
ally intimate. The publication of the
article has caused a sensation. King
wrote it for the purpose of arousing
public sentiment in his favor, in the
hope Of securing a pardon, but he will
fail in his object, as Governor Turney
was a member of the supreme court
when Kings death sentence was
affirmed.

The marketfor the better grades OF
hurley has been more active this week,
with tendency to higher values. The
medium grades remain unchanged,
while common grades are somewhat
easier. The housing of the hurley

been cut green on account of the few
recent cool Gays and slight frost in

GIVES UP THE WORLD.
Madeline Pollard Turns her Back
Upon the World and a Home
For Fallen Women.

., A Washington special says: Miss
Madeline Pollard, who has sued Con-
gressman Breckinridge, of Kentucky,
for breach of promise, has voluntarily
identified herself with the House of
Mercy here, which seeks to reclaim
fallen women. Miss Pollard entered
the institution soon after the proceed
ings against Mr.. Breckenridge were
begun. She is not known as Miss
Pollard in the Home, having assumed
another name. She has not entered
the institution as unfortunate women
are received. She has been accepted
as willing worker and is now en-
gagged in missionary and educational
dutie". Miss Pollard practically has
surrendered all her liberties, She was
at first assigned to educational work,
but insisted upon sharing in the
drudgery of the institution.
The inmates in the institution.
which are supported by the Episcopal
churches, are kept by the church peo-
pie under close surveillance and are
not allowed, even in the day time, to
go out unless accompanied by one of
the workers"

A Card.

L desire to return my sincere thanks
to the many friends who have so
kindly rendered me their support in
the race for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Chief of Police. 1 find that
my business engagements are such
as to demand that 1 shall forego the
pleasure of accepting the very liberal
support rendered me. I therefore
withdraw my name as a candidate
for Chief of Police. But 1 desire to
state distinctly that this is done in the
interest of no candidate, and 1 leave
the race with no entanglements.
Again thanking my friends for their
hearty support,
lam, very respectfully,

ANOTHER ROWAN
COUNTY MURDER
III. T. Fouch, Sheriff, Kills Comfy
Clerk Geo. Johnson.

Yesterday was county court day
Of Rowan county, and there were
about two hundred people in More
head.
Mr.. Fouch, Sheriff of the county,
was in County Clerk Johnson's
office about II 80 o'clock, collect
ing taxes, when. his right to collect
delinquent taxes which had been
reported to the State auditor, came
up and a dispute arose, which was
followed by the lie, and the Clerk
struck at or struck the Sheriff, who
drew his pistol, shooting the
Clerk twice, once through the
breast and once through the brain,
killing him instantly. Fouch sur
rendered to County Judge, Cross
white. At first there was intense
excitement, but it soon died down,
and Fouch was placed under a
guard. The two officers were not
on very friendly terms.

ACROSS A BARREL
They Stretched the Impositor and
Whaled Him.

About two years ago j. w. Coppock
came from Louisville, Ky, and ac-
cepted the management of the Jack
sonville, (Ala,) Ice Company. His
department was that of perfect geu-
tleman, and soon had the respect and
esteem of the citizens of Jacksonville
and engaged himself to young lady
of that place. The marriage was to
come off two weeks hence.
Tuesday evening it leaked out that
he had living wife and two children
in Louisville, Ky. The citizens as
semble, purchased whale-bone
buggy whip, invited the impositor to
lay himself across a barrel with face
down tor about 20 minutes, and the
lash was applied in genteel manner.
He was then put on board the north
bound East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgia train and gently reminded
that he had better shake the dust of
Alabama from his feet, which he did
without further persuation,-Cincin-
natl Post.

Cold and Heat.

Water freezes and becomes ice at 80
degrees Fahrenheit, whereas mercury
only freezes at 80 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit. Olive oil, on the contra
ry, shows signs of congelation at from
4 0to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The three
substances quoted being all liquids, the
difference in the loss of heat requisite
to bring them to solidification is very
great indeed. The action of heat on
fluids or solids is equally various.
Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit,
lead melts at 6l2 degrees the fusing
point of gold is 2016 degrees, and OF
iron 5000 degrees.

"The Old Man"

"Ichabod, my boy, methought !
heard you speak of your sire this
morning as "the old man." You are
IL years of age, are you not?. just
sol This is the age when callow
youth has his first attack of the big
head. You imagine at this moment
that you know it all. I observe by
the cut of your trousers and the angle
of your hat, the flavor of your breath,
and the style of your tooth-pick shoes,
and the swagger of your walk, that
you are badly gone on yourself. This
is an error OF youth which your uncle
can overlook, but it pains MIN sore to
hear you speak in terms of disrespect
of one you should never mention save
by the sacred name of father He
may not be up to your style in the
modern art of making fool of him
self, but, ten to one, he forgets more in
a week than you will ever know. He
may not enjoy smoking gutter snipes,
chopped fine and inclosed in delicate
tissue paper, but he has borne good
many hard knocks for your sake, and
is entitled to all the reverence your
shallow brain can muster. BY and by
after you are through knowing it all,
and begin to learn something, you will
be ashamed to look in the glass, and
will wonder where the fool-killer kept
himself when were ripe with sacrifice.
And when 'the old man grows tired of
the journey and stops to rest, and you
fold his hands across his bosom and
take last look at the face that has
grown beautiful in death you will feel
a sting of regret that you ever spoke
of him so grossly disrespectful a
manner, and when you hear other
sprouts of imbecility using the Ian
guage that SO delighted you in the
germinal period of manhood, you will
feel like chasing them with a sled
stake and crushing their skulls to see
if there is any brain tissue on the
inside."-Ex.

Tender of Their Feelings.

The annual report of the Health
Officers credits two Louisville deaths
during the past mortuary year to in
temperance, and in obedience to the
injunction to speak no i'll Of the dead.
considerably assigns the others to
cirrhosis of the liver, heart failure and
other miasmatic forms of euphemistic
mendacity. AS brutal candor would
lacerate the SORROWS of relatives and
wound the tender sensibilities of the
barkeepers, it is well, perhaps, that the
bitter truth should thus be officially
sugar-eoated. But all the same, red
and amber liquors killed more than
two or two hundred people in this

Russell Nominated.

The Massachusetts Democratic Con-
vention met in convention ON Wednes-
day, at Boston, and nominated Hon.
j. w. Russell for Governor. When
Mr.. Russell was introduced, he said !:
eff our opponents, leaving the State
issue, make their fight on the ground
of the late financial disturbances and
the stoppage of industries they will
gain only the votes of the ignorant
and unthinking, whose drift of late
years mas been to their side.
"The Sherman bill was shock to
foreign confidence. The Mckinley
tariff was the fulfillment Of a bargain
in which the right to lay and collect
taxes, the highest act of sovereignty,
the right conferred by the people sole
ly for the purposes of revenue and
limited closely to the need of Govern
ment were transferred to individuals
and corporations.
"Mr. Russell in closing praised the
course OF President Cleveland, and
said: Strong, warm-hearted type of
American citizenship, the best exam
pie of the broadest statesmanship-
the question in our election is, will
Massachusetts, stand by his sdmininis-
tion ?"'

The city needs efficient officers for the
preservation of its peace and good or

places TO he filled, is that of City At
torneY. TO fill this acceptably, re-
quires a man fearless in the discharge
of his duty, and with a fitness to make
vigorous prosecution where it is
needed. Every man, no matter how
good he may be otherwise, does not
necessarily possess these qualifications.
A man does not have to be hand in
glove with gamblers, brawlers and
and the worst elements Of
society, to make him an unfit person
to hold this (for our city's peace) i'm
portant office. have no word of dis
paragement for any one of the candi-
dates for this office. l do desire to
call attention to the special fitness of
one among them for the duties of the
place to which he aspires. The fact is
we'll known to all, that almost the only
enemies he has made and certainly
the most active ones he possesses, are
those whose en,nity can be distinctly
traced to his vigorous prosecution or
fearless administration of the law, as
it applied to them or some of their
friends. Surely man who is fearless
in the discharge of his duty, efficient
active and painstaking in prosecuting
all offenders; and, who always
exhibits lively and intelligent inter-
est in the city's affairs, should have
the votes of all right thinking citizens.
Such imam is Judge Ii. Gay Mckee,
aud am firmly persuaded it is very
much to the ciiy's interest to elect him.
1 hope the voters can see this as l do.

~ Hon. w. j. NoRTHERN-My Dear
SSir: / hardly know how to reply to
your letter of the 10Th inst. 1t seems
to me that l am quite plainly on rec
ord concerning the financial question.
Ny letter accepting the nomination to
the Presidency, when read in connec-
ton with the message lately sent to
the Congress in extraordinary session
appears to me to be very explicit. /
want currency that is stable and
safe in the hands of our people. will
not knowingly be implicated in a con-
dition that will justly make me in the
least degree answerable to any laborer
Ior farmer in the United States for a
n shrinkage.
IN THE PURCHASING POWER.
OF the dollar he has received for a
1ldollar's worth of work, or for a good
dollars worth of the product of his
toll. not only want our currency
t., be of such character that all kinds
Of dollars will be of equal purchasing
power at home, but want it to be of
y such character as will demonstrate
abroad our wisdom and good faith,
thus placing upon firm foundation
our credit among the nations of the
earth.
Ywant our financial conditions and
the laws relating to our currency so
safe and reassuring that those who
have money will spend and i'm
vest il in Business and new enterpris-
es instead of boarding it, You can
not cure fright by calling it foolish
and unreasonable, and you can not
prevent the frightened man from
boarding his money. want good,
sound and stable money and condi-
ton of confidence that will keep it in
use.
Within the limits of what I have
written, 1 am friend of silver, but
believe its proper place in our curren-
cy can only be fixed by readjustment
of our currency legislation and the in
auguration of consistent and COM
prehensive financial scheme. I think
SUCH A THING
Can only be entered upon profitably
and hopefully after the repeal of the
law which is charged with all our
financial woes. In the present state
of the public mind, this law cannot be
built upon, nor patched in such away
as to relieve the situation.
"a lam, therefore, opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone and independently,
and / am in favor of the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the so-called Sher-
man law.
I confess am astonished by the op-
position in the Senate to such prompt
action as would relieve the present un-
fortunate situation.
My daily prayer is that the delay
occasioned by such opposition may
not be the casue of plunging the coun-
try into deeper depression than it has
yet known, and that the Democratic
y party may not be justly held RESPONSE
BILE for such catastrophe.
Yours very truly.

Welded ON THE STAGE.

The somewhat unusual scene OF
wedding on the stage was wit
messed at Leafs opera house, Port
Jarvis, n. Y, Oct. 90, by fully if
teen hundred people. At the close
of the performance Of "A Noble
Revenge" by the Bubb and Bennett
company the audience were re-
quested to remain in their seats
until the stage was set as a simple
parlor scene.
The orchestra played Mendel-
sohns' wedding march while the
contracting couple, Miss Luella
Rose, Of Atlantic City, and Fred
A. Dane, of Toledo, Ohio, one
of the company, marched in from
the wings preceded by the mother
and brother Of the bride and men,
bers of the company. The bride
wore a white satin costume and the
groom evening dress.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. S. Washington, pastor of
the Port Jervis Baptist church. A
banquet at the Delaware house fol-
lowed, at which the pastor and his
wife and the company were the
guests. The company's wedding
gift was a silver tea set.
