Reichman of the Fresno Fair Grounds
Association has received a letter from B.
M. Delong. Superintendent of the State
Board of Horticulture, inviting the asso-
citation to make an exhibit at the State
Fair next month. As it has been practi-

Fresno this year on account of hard
times and the lack of support in the
racing department, there is great prob
ability that growers here will arrange an
exhibit to be sent TO the State Fair in

THE euBERNAToRIAL RACE.

Barney Murphy has not been holding
his forces we'll in hand this evening. In
fact, he seems to have lost strength,
while Budd has made some gains, but not
SO many in proportion as Mcguire, whose
friends have increased numerically.
Gavin McNab Of San Francisco received
a telegram this evening from Mcguire in
Washington requesting him to place the
absent Congressman in nomination be-
fore the convention tomorrow. The San
francisco delegates are talking Mcguire
loudly. Los Angeles and Ventura are
divided between Budd and Mcguire. The
latter's absence from the field of strife is
injuring his fight somewhat. The Budd
men claim his nomination on the first
ballot. If neither of the two leading cam
didates show a decided lead after the first
or second ballot. Maguire's friends claim
he will receive enough accessiOns from
the delegations not absolutely pledged to
any one for his nomination.
Late tonight it was stated that Dennis
Spencer would be sprung as a COM
promise candidate for Governor after the
third ballot, if a choice IS not then ap-

For Lieutenant-G Governor Workman

SLOW PROGRESS on THE PLATFORM.
The Committee on Platform and Reso-
lutions is making slow progress, with
prospect of Il session protracted until
long past midnight. 1t has been decided
in the opening plank to recommend an
unqualified Endorsement OF CleyelanG's
administration. NJ. +. Tarpey of Ala
media will present set of resolutions de-
nouncing the Administration, but it is
doubtful if they will be read in tho con-
vention.
There will undoubtedly be strong
anti-railroad plank. Several members of
the committee stated that the resolution
would be no halfway measure, but
would denounce the corporation in poll
ties and condemn the railroad funding
bill.
The committee at midnight was de-
batting the framing of a silver plank.
There was disposition on the part of the
majority of the committee to come out
fiat for silver. except for the fear that it
would be construed as reflection on
CIeveland's attitude and on the Admins
tration. The committeesfnally decided
upon q free silver plank.
The Immigration of Chinese will be
condemned, and probably also Japanese
immigration.
A plank will be inserted to please the
Coast Seamen's Union, advocating meas
ures TO restore the merchant marine.
The action of Congress on the tariff will
be approved as the best measure practl-
cable at this time.

A Runaway Last Wednesday.

Matthew Fink and his wife wen up
to visit the family of Rev. E. B. Robert
son, who was lying dead at his resi-
dence on Pine Street, Johnson City.
Mrs. Fink got out of the buggy at the
house, and Mr.. Fink headed the horse
down Spring Street when the horse
started on h run and crossing the Mar
row Gauge Railroad with Mr.. Fink
pulling on the lines. He narrowly
escaped Il pile of brick where Taylor
Bros. are erecting a new house. At
main Street the vehicle struck the curb
ing and Mr.. Fink let go one line, think
ing the buggy was going over which
pulled the horses head TO one side and
he dashed at full speed against the
First National Bank Building, where
he fell in a heap. He was not much
hurt, and only one wheel of the car
riage was dam aged. 1t was little short
of a miracle, however, as the horse
was large and powerful and seemed
bent ON destruction.

lie examinations were held Monday
and Tuesday. The written examin-
atoms were held Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, of last week. All show
ed the work of the past session to be an
improvement over that of other years
The standard of instruction has been
so elevated and broadened that the
curriculum is 10Y on a par with that
ofany College in the State. The conse-
quenceis that the students have been
filled with higher ideas of an education,
Our aim is to develop scholarship rather
than seek to flood the country with a lot
of so called graduates deceived into the
notion that they are educated because
they bear u diploma or sport u degree.
We dc not wish to be considered as
competing with colleges, improperly SO
called, which are content with this
kind of work, Wednesday will be Civ.

morning and the musical in the after
noon. The Alumni Association will

ing. O'Clock they begin their reg
uiar exercises consisting of the annual
address before the Association, an essay
by one of the young lady members and
short addresses from others, inter.
spersed with a high grade of music.
The graduating exercises occur Thurs
day morning, and two orations by
students and the annual address in the
afternoon. There will be four gradu-
ates, two receiving the degree Of Bache-
lor of Letters and two thatof Bachelor
of Science. One student, pursuing post
graduate studies, will also probably
receive the degree of Master of Arts.
The years work has been satisfactory

In memory of John V. Slime, who
died April 10, '94 at his home in Sulli-
van County, East Tennessee, of hemor-
rhage of the bladder. Mr.. Slime was
past seventy five years of age. He
joined the NJ. E, Church at the close of
the late war under the charge of Rev.

left a wife and two daughters TO mourn
over his sudden and unexpected de-
parture. The writer of this notice had
known Mr.. Slime intimately over fifty
years. He was an honest, upright,
sober man. He was q peace maker
throughout his vicinity. We feel as
sured that he has gone to meet the
many dear onesin Heaven above where
all is love. Mr.. Slime was n relative of
Louis hardwood. His remains were
inferred in the old family grave yard
in Sullivan County there to remain
until the resurrection morning. From
sorrow, toll, pain and sin, we shall be
free and perfect love and friendship

The BmggabO0 Snring.

Some three miles out of town on the
main road leading to Buffalo Ridge, is
a s%pring-just an ordinary spring
known to everybody as the ''Buggaboo
Spring" and yet why it is called the
B%uggaboo Spring perhaps very few
persons can tell.
Mr.. John Ii. Naf, one of our old
citizens, says that he has always been
told by old men years ago that it
took its name from the following cir
cumstance. Along in the early history
OF the county, the spring was almost
in the middle of the road and had a
log pen around it. One dark night a
very drunk mar either fell over into
this pen or got in to get him a drink
from the spring, and as he was too
drunk to get out he remained there.
After a time a man came by on horse
back and just rs he came neal the pen,
the drunken man rose up and made
some kind of an awful noise, and the
man on horseback thinking it was a
ghost fled for dear life and told some
marvellous stories as to the sights he
had seen and sounds he had heard at
that spring, all of which made him
believe the place vas haunted, hence
the name "Buggaboo Spring.

have been reclaimed and are now be-
ing cultivated with apparent success.
For instance there is that old red hill
side field of Judge Kirkpatrick's: A
few years since it seemed to be entirely
given over to briars and gullies; now it
is covered with a thick coat of good
clover. Then again there is the old
Jackson fields South af town that for
years had been a pasture field, free for
every one Now Mr.. Anderson has
this land under fence and will gather
a fine crop of wheat from q portion of
it. We actually believe it would pay
some of our friends from out in the
country to come in and see what a lit.
tie work and good farming has done
for these two old fields by Judge Kirk
patrick and Mr.. Anderson, and then 20
and do likewise with some of their old
briar fields. Fact is about all this or
any other country needs, is work and
plenty of it. The man that works six
days in the week is in the swim and
will get there every time; while the
man that does not work will get left
