Relics in America.

Very ancient relics of man have also
been found in America, but whether
any Of them can be attributed to the
preglacial period is not yet shown. The

The Wheat Crop.

Wheat took a tumble IN Chicago
last Thursday from COT to 5S8 cents,
and now the farmers are beginning to
speculate as to prices for the 1894
crop The Federal crop report gives
an average of 8 3 in condition above
that of last year, and the freezing dur
ing March is not as damaging as was
believed at the time. Unless there
is very heavy demand from foreign
markets, the farmer need not be
very sanguine as TO much of an in
crease above its present price.

On Monday evening, the 4 inst,
Mr.. and Mrs. " Ii. Trimble enter
tanned in honor of the two young ora
tors, Martin d. Hardin and James ii
Swango, from 10 80 to II O'Clock. The
yard was beautifully illuminated by
many colored lanterns hung from
shade trees and shrubbery, and the
residence halls and parlors were ar
tistically decorated with rare tropical
flowers and potted plants, the perfume
of which was delightful. The flowers
and silken streamlets were in college
colOrs, and refreshments cOrresponded.
Everything was beautifully and taste
fully arranged, and music from vi
brated cords delighted the soul. The
ladies' were in evening dress, and the
gentlemen in full dress, and never was
there congregated more style, grace
and beauty. Every one had a good
time; so pleasant that when the town
clock announced the hour of midnight,
it really seemed that only minutes had
passed, when it had been hours. A
joyous, delightful evening long to be
remembered.

The Pollard Breckinrigdge trial
ended Saturday afternoon. The jury
gave Madeline Pollard $4,000 DANA
ges. Col. Breckenridge gave notice
that he would ask for new trial and
failing in that he would appeal the
case. The jury was out only about an
hour and were evidently as glad as
Judge Bradley, to rid themselves of
their connection with the unusually
filthy case. The verdict in moneyed
sense cannot be of any direct advan-
tage to the woman, for it is in evidence
that Breckenridge is insolvent; but
she was overjoyed when the jury found
for her as they did. 1t is said by
Breckinridge's friends that he will not
abandon his race for the Democratic
nomination for Congressman from his
district. There must certainly be a
marked change in public sentiment
toward the dishonored statesman, II
he receives the support necessary to
return him to his seat in the House. II
ooks now as if he had not the ghost OF
chance for the nomination.

Miss Emma Denton, daughter of
James X. Denton, near Judy, q
beautiful and popular young lady,
laid violent hands on her owns life
on Friday morning. She was just
in the bloom of young womanhood
and seemingly long and useful
life lay before her. On the day in
question she went to desk where
she knew her father kept, locked
away from improper hands.a bottle
of strychnine, and, prying open the
lid, she secured the bottle and took
quantity of the deadly drug.
Coming into the presence of step
mother and sister, she announced
what she had done. Every effort
was made to save her, but in vain.
1t is said that villianous scoun-
drel who lived in the neighborhood
had begun to show her some atten-
ton, when her father told her of
the character of'the man, and she
promptly cut hiss acquaintance.
This angered the wretch and he
spread a report in the neighbor-
hood rejecting on the character of
the lady. Some busy body, with
more of love of gossip than a
sense of discretion, repeated the
wretch's SANDER to the girl. This,
it seems, so preyed on her mind
that it dethroned her reason, and
she did that which has filled her
fathers home with gloom.
The wretch, whose name is said
to be Miller, made himself scarce
Immediately after spreading his
vile SANDER. 1t will be well for
him, if he continues to keep his
whereabouts hid from good people
of the neighborhood.
Mr.. Denton and family are in
receipt of the sympathy of al
their friends in the heavy sorrow
that has fallen upon them. The
funeral of the young lady was
preached by Elder B. W. Trimblc
on Saturday.

MT Sterlings Public Building.

Congressma LisIe is at work for
the needs of his district, and by con-
tinued work has succeeded in increas-
ing the appropriation from $4,000 to
$4,000, and in getting favorable
report from the committee on Public
Buildings and grounds. This question
was first brought before the committee
by Congressman Wilson and was a
failure, because he tied it to four
other like requests. The late j. w.
Kendall next took it up and asked for
an appropriation of $4,000, but he
died before it had progressed far. The
Hon. 10 M. Kendall who succeeded
his father asked for $4,000 and after
an argument before the committee
succeeded in getting favorable report,
but it rested here because his term OF
Office expired before it could be
brought before congress. Mr.. Lisle
next took it up and the report is now
ready to go before congress, and he
has faith that the appropriation will
be ordered within very short time.
However, there is often slip and we
won't be positive until after the
appropriation has been made, but Mr.
Lisle will get it through if possible.
The Washington correspondent to
the Courier-Journal says: "Among
the bills that will be reported favor
able by the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds is the bill
Introduced by Representative Lisle,
making an appropriation for public
building at Mt. Sterling. Col. Berry
will write the report. Mr.. Isle has
been most persistent in his efforts to
have the committee take up his bill
and his efforts have finally been
awarded with success. Col. Berry
says the Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds will shortly be
gwen a day by the Committee on
Rules, and that among the bills he
hopes to get through are the bills pro-
viding for public buildings at New.

An exchange says Ofth Rev. Green

shat when he was on the Cumberland
few weeks ago he was called upon
to perform marriage ceremony in a
mountain home. When the knot was
tied to the satisfaction of all and his
fee paid by the groom, he was surpris-
ed by the brides father asking that he
should preach them a sermon. 1t was
an out-of-way place and they seldom
heard preaching. The opportunity
was not to be neglected. Gen. Smith
at first demurred, but the host would
not take mo- for an answer. He
finally consented and took Behold the

audience was attentive and 'sympa-
thetic and he preached with great
fervor. When he had concluded,
seventeen came forward and signified
desire to lead new life, and the first
to come were the bride and groom

ACQUITTED.
Officers Of the New Farmers Bank
Acquitted on Commonwealth's
Evidence.
Judge Cooper Gave Peremptory
Instructions.

On last Thursday, the third day
of this term Of the Circuit Court,
the case against William Mitchell,
President, G. M. Grubbs, Cashier,
and Mrs. Laura M. Bent, Chief
Clerk of the New Farmers Bank,
who were under indictment
charged with having received de-
posits after having knowledge of
the insolvency of said bank, was
called and both Commonwealth
and defence answered ready, and
the trial was begun. The Com
monwealth introduced their evid-
ence to prove the insolvency of the
institution, and utterly failing
Judge Cooper gave peremptory in
structions to bring in verdict ac-
quitting the defendants, which was
done without the jury leaving the
box. The verdict meets the APP
prevail of the people, and this
decision gives fat denial to the
charges set out in the indictment.
Congratulations are coming in
from bank officers from all quar-
tiers.
1t is no pleasure of ours to criti-
else the action of any grand jury,
but it is right given the press in
its freedom. Grand juries cannot
be too cautious. 1t is an easy
thing to injure credit and charac-
ter, and once under a cloud it is
difficult to restore. We cannot in
wade the sanctum of the grand
jury room and give the causes and
motives, but in this case the very
witness upon whom the Common
wealth depended proved advan-
tageous to the defence, failing to
sustain the indictment. This be-
ing a fact the Indictment was I'M
warranted.
The representative of the Trust
Company, who is in position to
know as much about the condition
of the bank as any other man, ties.
titled that he could not testify that
the bank was insolvent now, and
this, with the statement of the TEN.
porary receiver, that he could have
paid every dollar due depositors
warrants the conclusion that this
bank, on the day of it's suspension
was solvent and with prudent bust
ness management could have paiC
its depositors in>full and what i
will pay now depends solely upol
the, management of those now il
charge. Prudent management anC
light expenses are far preferable t,
promiscuous suing, incurrin!
court costs, lawyers fees and off
sets that would be caused by tn
pleading of usury. The debtor
of this bank are as honest to-da'
as they were when their obligation
were made, and to give them tim
and strengthen notes would realiz
more to the depositors and stock
holders than to force settlement
Such line of procedure in tn
settlement would save thousand
of dollars to the bank, and an
other method, as has already bee
proyen. would be suicidal.

ing that the Senate interjected a
paragraph providing for the licens-
ing of custom house brokers. The
hat trimmings paragraphs in the
new bill are quite satisfactory to
the customs officials and remove a
very serious objection to the bill as
1t came from the House. As pre-
scented to the Senate this feature
left open a wide door through which
silk goods could be brought in as
trimmings at a reduction from 90
cents to 20 cents. Practically this
same provision in the act of 1883
resulted in the suits for refunds of
$50, 900, 900 now pending in the New
York courts. Any inconsistencies
found in the bill can only be by spe-
Cial acts cured and it is feared these
may not pass easily. The admins
trative act of 1890, itself, cures du-
plications of articles at different
rates and other inconsistencies of
that character, but as to all other
matters curative acts will be neces-
sary.

said.
"Under all the circumstances, | re-
gard the action taken by the house
of Representatives as wise and
patriotic, although ] do not share
in the belief that the Senate would
have refused or otherwise failed to
pass a tariff bill. What the coun-
try needs especially after a pro-
tracted business depression is to
have the tariff settled. | do not
look for business boom, but | do
expect generally improved business
conditions. You can put me
down as very well pleased with the
outcome, even though the tariff bill
as passed is not all that could be
desired from the Democratic
standpoint.

SENATE TALKS OF SUGAR.
Sary.

The entire five hours of yester-
DAYS afternoon session of the Sen
ate was devoted to a discussion of
the question, as to whether the
separate House bills, for free sugar,
coal, iron, etc, should be referred
to a committee, or acted upon di-
rectly and Immediately by the Sen
ate proper.
The discussion, pro and con, was
led by Senators Vest and Harris, on
the one side, and Berry and Mills,
on the other. The former insisting
upon referring the proposed meas
ures to the Senate committee on
finance, while the latter strenu-
ously opposed such dilatory pro-
ceeding, and contended that same
be disposed of without delay, by the
Senate, itself.
During the discussion Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, member of FL
nance Committee, offered another
amendment to the sugar bill, which
was read for information. Its OBJ
ject was to levy duty of 80 per
cent. on sugar with no protection
to the trust. The amendment was
not in order as the bill was not be-
fore the Senate The discussion
continued up to the hour for clos
ing the days session, when a mo-
ton to adjourn at o'clock p. M,
prevailed, leaving the question Of
how the bills should be disposed Of
still open, and the motion of Sena-
tor Harris, to refer same to Finance
Committee, undisposed of,
