THE TOWN ALL TORN UP.
ROgerSnille Has a SalaciOus Blackmail
Sensation

KNOXVILLE, Aug. 31.--A sensa.
tional story of attempted blackmail
comes from Rogersvill, which con-
meets John Cantrell and wife and
brotherin-law, VIM. Crane, in a plot
to secure money from DR.. G. H.
Morgan, one of the leading physi.
clans of the town. The plot, DR..
Morgan says, first began several
weeks age, when Mrs. Cantrell tried
to attract his attention. She would
meet him on the street, stop him
and in every way possible try to
make him pay some attention to her
but without avail. Last Monday
the physician received call to 90
to CantrelPs S house to visit sick
child. When he arrivedn one was
there but Mrs. Cantrel. Immedi-
ately she made advances and told
him to close the door. At the same
time Mrs. Cantrells husband, who
had been hiding in the chimney
corner, cried out that he had caught
them at last. He then began to
parade a great scandal and threat
ened DR.. Morgan with arrest if he
did not pay him stipulated sum.
This the doctor refused to do, and
has turned the tables on the schem-
ing parties by having them arrested
for blackmail.

by the comments OF the press, and by
an immense volume OF letters OF en-.
couragement, approval and congratu-
lation-is only now entering upon its
sixth week of existence, yet it may be
said to have, even in this short time,
made remarkable progress, for it has
already succeeded in filling its chiei

It's greatest difficulty has been to sup

business opportunities and applications

NOT PORTER YET.
The RreSident Leaves Without Making
an Appointment.

WASHINGTON, August 3O.-Presi
dent Cleveland has gone for a six
weeks vacation without appointing
James D. Porter successor to Judge
Key ad interium, and it is not at all
likely that he will do so. The opin-
ion of those best informed is equal
ly divided as to wheter he will re-
appoint him. If he does it is not
at all probable that the senate will
confirm.
1t is a mistake about Benton Nc
MILAN working to have Porter con.
frmed He is for Frank Wilson for
the place. James D. Porter will not
be Judge Keys successor and as
his resignation as Chilian minister
has not been accepted he may recon-
slider his action.
East Tennessee can get the apoint-
ment if the people will simply as
sert their rights and demand what
belongs to them. A democratic
senate will always be found for home
rule and will not encourage impor-
tation. Judge G. D. Clark, of Chat
tanooga, will doubtless lead the
race when Gov. Porter is called out
OF the way. Col, Geo. 7. Fry is
here industriously at work. He be-
lieves that with Gov Porter out of
the wry the race will be batween
himself and Judge Dickerson. of
Nashville.
The appointment of Porter is
thought to be aperSonal matter with
the president The field is open
for all aspirants.
Judge Key will continue to pre-
side until his successor is qualified.
