Teachers Association.

The second Teachers County Asso-
citation met at Side View, Saturday,
Oct. 26, 1894.
The meeting was called to order by
the Supt. L. f. Horton. We are sor-
~ to say the attendance was small.
Our teachers do not take sufficient in
terest in the association. It is a com.
parativelv new feature IN Kentucky,
and it deserves the hearty co-opeFa-
ton of the teachers
Those present were highly enter
tanned, first, by Prof. Marvin, on
physiology.
Prof. Marvin advocates the chart as
an assistance TO the textbook. He
says the subject can be more clearly
presented, and more thoroughly IN
derstood if the pupils are required to
diagram it. He has certainly made a
study of this subject, as his splendid
explanation proved.
Mrs. Wilson then gave an instrnc-
tive talk upon "How l teach United
States History" She is born teach
er, and hersubject was discussed in
clever manner.
Primary Geography was next dis
cussed by Misses Willoughby and Dali
las.
Miss Dallas puts the theory--when
a child can bring the three senses
hearing, feeling, and touch--iulO play
upon an object, he seldom, if ever. for
gets the Impression thus received-in-
to practice in teaching Geography.
She has her pupils visit the creek,
and point out capes, islands, straits,
etc.
After few minutes general discuss
ion the meeting adjourned. XXX

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Artie Fitzpatrick, Whisky, and a
Pistol Cause Some Excite
ment.
Msrcus Dean, colored, Shot.

Yesterday afternoon in the Demo-
Headquarters Artie Fitzpatrick, who
was drunk was flourishiDg a pistol
most too promiscuously to suit some
of the bystanders and Mat Clay
caught the gun and undertook to take
1t away from him. AT the same time
Robert CQnley, another bystander.
grabbed Fitzpatrick and tripped him.
In the fall the gun went off and the
ball from the weapon struck Marcus
Dean, a trifling negro, who was stand
ing by, just grazing his forehead.
The hurt was only flesh wound and
tbs fortunate that whisky and pistol
in the hands of tool did not do more
damag-. Dr.. Taulbee dressed the
wound and the negro is able to go
about as usual.

The Gazette in its last issue devotet
column after column to Judge Apper-
sons administration of the county
affairs. We are not posing as the de.
fender of,or apologist for, Judge Lewis
Apperson, the man. He is a mau
among men, who is amply able to
take care of himself. In any contro-
versy in ,hich he is personslly inter
ested, he would not thank any news
paper to assume bis defense. But
when II comes TO his official acts it is
different. We claim the right, and
shall exercise il, whether 1t suits him
or any one else, TO reply to the strict
ures and vilely false accusations of the
Republican organ over the way. The
editor of that paper dared to assert,
at the beginning of the campaign,
that Mr.. O'Rear had oppenly charged
that there was something wrong with
the management of county affairs,
during Judge Apperson's term, and
that the charge went uurefuted. He
must have known that he did not state
fact when he made that statement;
for in the very next issue, for reasons
best known to himself, he corrected
ii. In his issue of October 3lst he
virtually repeats this same infamous,
and wholly without foundation, state
ment. lie knows that Mr.. O'Rear,
when called to account for his insinu-
alton, did distinctly and upquali-
fiedly state that he (O'Rear) was
satisfied that there was
nothing that had even the appearance
OF crookedness during the past eight
years. The editor of the Gazette |
could not have failed to hear Mr.. |
0 Rear's complete breakdown from |
his first assertion The committee
appointed by the County Court, conf
posed of some of the very best men in
the county, who could neither be
begged, bullied or bought over to
make themselves parties to any kind
of white-washing scheme, state posi-
lively and distinctly that they have
examined these records and find
them straight and clean. Now, there
Is but one Of two things true either
that committee lied or the editor of
the Gazette has done so. We do not
believe, nor do we think there is de-
cent mau in the county who does be-
lleve, that the men who compose tina,
would make themselves
party to fSlsehood.

To-day is to be fought all over this
great country wonderful battle.
True, it is a bloodless one, bat never
thefess AS veritable a one as Mission
Ridge or the Wilderness The ques-
tions at issue will be decided by h peo-
pie to-day as their judgment or their
personal interests may direct. This
is an "off year" it is true, but there
will. bey ond doubt, be iull vote
polled all over the country. Both the
great parties have been exceedingly
active i'm their endeavors to bring out
out their vote. Whether the Demo-
Gratis shall retain entire control of The
Government for the next two years
depends upon the result of to-day's
voting. 1t is the undisputed prerog-
ative Of the people to decide this ques-
ton, and they will exercise this pre-
roga,ive to-day. The eyes of the
public are on the Congressional races,

We saw on the streets the other
day an old rascal who is an accred-
tied thief, lecherous vagabond and
an unreasonable scoundrel gen
orally, preaching what purported
to be sermon.
We read the other day in paper
that never has been accredited by
the community in which it lives
with any very high regard for de-
cency or propriety, lecture to its
contemporaries on the manner of
conducting their business.
Whenever the Devil turns preach

erS assume the role of moral lee
turers, it is well for the readers of
their dissertations to look between
the lines and see what is writ there.

Gen. P. Watt Hardin, candidate
for Governor, addressed the people of
this city and county at the Court
hourse Saturday afternoon at two
o'clock. Gen. Hardin made grand
speech. He laid before the audience
the actions of the Republican party
for more than thirty years; proved
this party utterly incapable of run
ming the Government, and their legis-
lation the direct cause of the recent
financial oppression He showed
from every utterance made by the Re-
publican leaders that, were they re-
stored to power, thew would repeat
their recent legislation and cancel
every act of the Democratic party.
We have had enough of such legisla-
ton, and the cry of the people is /:
'Rplief! relief !" The Democratic
party has begun this good work and
already prosperity comes in ever,
branch of business and the wheels OF
machinery which have been silent for
months, have been setin motion. Gen.
Hardin's speech was well received
and Democrats were strengthened in
their faith and will work hard for All
increased nlajority in the present cleo
ton.
Mr.. Hardin was on his return from
Eastern Kentucky, where he had been
doing a grand work for the past few
weeks. lie informed us that Eastern
Kentucky was all right and every
Democrat was imbued with the
proper sense of duty, and the results
would be gratifying to The party. Mr..
Hardin added new friends TO his host

A FISH THAT Goes FISHING.
Has Poles, Lines and Bait and
Also a Monstrous Mouth.
Caught by Staten Islanders and
Known by Many Names.

william Schmerser. a fisherman. of
Stapleton. l.. l., caught a big fish this
morning. His net dragged SO heavily.
that he thought a whole shoal had got
tangled up in Its meshes. When he and
his assistant got 1t to the surface. they
found It held a solitary occupant. how
ever. II was 30 big and OF such hideous
mien as to seem like an lncarnated devil.
But Stapleton fishermen are stout
hearted and not afraid OF anything that
wears scales, SO they hauled the monster
into the boat. To keep 1t from founder
ing and swamping them, they lassoed
Its tail with a rope and tool a couple OF
half bitches about a cleat. The queer
denizen OF the deep blinked at Its cap
tors complacently with deep set grey
eyes, located near the top OF Its head,
and then started to yawn.
Its yawn Is described as being ms ex-
pansive as that OF a fatigued rhinoceros.
When cut open several skates and
other fish, as well as about six pailfuls
OF water, were found In It's stomach. 1t
weighed rs pounds.
When nailed down by one OF It's flap
pers to a platform and measured, Il
# was i've feet long and four and a half
feet wide. 1t had besides, rappers four
feet. the two forcfeet resembling the
hands OF a man. While alive 1t WAS
round. but II fattened out considerably
after death.
It's skin was dark gray, very strong
and quite loose. II had two sets OF very
sharp pointed hard teeth, which II prob
ably used as "A weapon. It's slime was
found M tenacious as, glue. -,
The most wonderful thing about the
nsh is that Il has two poles on top OF its
head. Lines, like nshing-tackle. bait

LONG ISLAND CITY, L. l., May A.
The dissatisfaction which has PREVAILS
among the policemen OF this city Is in
creasins. 1t began when Detective Chris
TOPPER White was reduced to patrol duty
for capturing the Cord Meyer masked
burglars, aud Court Officer Peter Kelly
made detective for arresting an Innocent
batch of men who he said were the
real culpr'ts." Fuel was added to the
fire yesterday, when Mayor Sanford APP
pointed Ambrose Clancy. Of Blissville, a
patrolman and assigned him to duty in
the Second Precinct.
Slancy's appointment has given special
orense to a section Of Irish N~ationalists
and to Alderman Joseph Cassidy, OF the
Second Ward. Previous to his appoint
ment. the NEW policeman was employed
as a grave-d'gger in Calvary Cemetery,
and took sides with the Kavanagh De-
mocracy against Cassidy. at the last
election.
The Irish opposition to Clancy's APP
pointment on the police force. is based
on the fact that he served a number
Of years as n private in an English in
fantry regiment
His appointment Is also said to be n
violation of Civil Service rules, mas
much as he Ia fifty years of age.
Clancy admits having served in the
Queens army. but says he Is only
thirty-four years old. He says jealousy
Is the true reason for the opposition to
