"A Humorous Side.

BRISTOL, TENN. Especial )-Virginia
and Tennessee are preparing to fight q
great battle which has been brewing for
years.
A few months ago Hon. Rufus A.
Ayers filed bill in the Supreme Court
of the United st ties to extend the south
ern boundary of Virginia eight miles into
tennessee. A subpoena was issued foI
the Attorney General and Governor Of
tennessee to appear and answer, which
they did. The case will come up in the
Supreme Court in February or March and
wall attract national attention.
The territory in dispute amounts to
about 200 square miles, being about 8
miles deep and $50 miles in length. II
Virginia should win this suit she will get
one half of six counties, including the
towns of Bristol and Cumberland Gap,
the big Louisville and Nashville railroad
tunnel Mt Cumberland Gap, several miles
of the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and
Louisville railroad, and part of the great
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
road. The country involved is rich in
mineral, timber and coal.
On the territory i'll dispute it is esti-
mated that there arc about 40, 900 inhabi.

:, 100 MT. Blaine was appoiRtei.t to the
Senate to hli'the vacancy caused bythe rs
signotion of Senator Morrill,, an the next
winter was elected by the Legislature to the
succeeding term. His career in the Sennt,
was both brilliant and distinguished, as il
had been in the House. He was G ,lIei from
the Senate to enter President CART ,ld's
Cabinet as Secretary of State. 1t was while
passing through tho railroad depot leaning

with him about his CO ming holiday that
Garfield received the assassin's fatal bullet.

ratirement from the Cabinet, in December.
1882. From that date until he entered Mr..
Hnrrison's Cabinet as Secretary of State,
he was in private lilo except during his
campaign for the Presidency in 1884.
During his retirement Mr.. Blaine wrote
his Twenty Years in Congress-" a work of
great historical value. 1t was in accordanc.
with his original suggestion and due to his
earnest efforts that provision was made in
the Mckinley bill for the recipr oclty trea-
ties which formed such prominent features
OF National policy. The Samoan diflicu.-

OF the House to compel the production

he declared that he propose to reserve moth

nThank God, ] am not ashamed to show
them. There Is the very original package.

nortfacation Ido not attempt to conceal,

was about the year 1889 when he was
electea Speaker Of the House for the first
time. The house he bought was one OF a

Senator Kenna Died Poor.
LETTER TO SUB ALLIANCES.

WASHINGTON, d. CT has just be.
come evident that the late Senator Kenna.
of West Virginia, died very poor
man. He left his widow in almost dcs
titute circumstances, his long illness
and its attendant expenses having con.
sumed what little money he had saved
from his salary In order to provide for
the widow and her large family the West
Virginia delegation in Congress met and
united in a strong plea to President-elect
Cleveland, asking him to appoint MIS-.
Kenna pos mistress at Charleston. w.
Va, as soon as he enters the White
House. The salary of the Office is about
81, 500.
AS Senator Kenna was one Of the very
few Cleveland men in the United States
Senate it is thought probable that Mr..
Cleveland will make the appointment.
