SDeClAl 10 EVENING II ENALD.
PorTsv1LLE, Jan. s.-Contrary to the eN
pectatons of some of the people interested in
the trial of John Briggs for the murder of
James Parfit, in the electric railway riot at
Gilberton on the night of August 2lst, last,
the Commonwealth did not close its case on
Saturday. District Attorney Ryan says he
will not have all his evidence in until Tues
day night and possibly not until Wednesday.
The case will last all of this week and may
run over.
Briggs wife, small and very delicate look
ing woman, was in attendance ist the court
| by her two little daughters, who are very
pretty. The youngest remained on her faith
er's lap almost during the whole day. She is
about four years old and as bright as star.
When not trying to curl the ends of her faith
er's mustache, or whispering in his ear, she
would pass the time directing his attention to
the chandeliers, or other sparkling objects
Almost every moment she brought a fresh
smile to Briggs lips. Once or twice the
child pointed to the jury and to the judge
but on these occasions Briggs pretended moi
to see what the child was doing or what she
said, but directed his gaze upon the tostifyinl
witness. When the court declared adjourned
for the day Briggs walked back to his wife
embraced and kissed her and the children
and then turning to the court officer said
"Well, am ready" The father was thel
conducted to the jail and the wife and child.

While in the court room Briggs is alwa

: that neither before, during or after any Of th
sessions has he been seen to communicate q

Business is Business,

There are probably lois of business
zmen in this town who think they know
all about buying and selling, building
up trade and holding it, and yet the
readers of newspapers do not know
Sthose men are proposing to sell them
anything, These same men are sitting
idly about their stores wondering what
q can be the secret of the New York
Racket Store, which is meeting with
such unparalleled success. They won-
der, and wonder! and wonder! but
never zee those magnifcently dis
played ads which appear from time
to time in the home paper, and, in
fact, all the papers in reach of Johnson
City. The best way to sell anything ia
to let the people know you have it for
that purpose.

THE NEW BOARD.
Johnson City Gone Into the Hands of
Enthusiastic Repnblicans.


The old Democratic board gave up
the city government last night to the
new Republican board, which was in
augurated and indicted into Office with
great pomp and zest.
When the new board declared itself
ready for business the following of.
3icers were elected; Recorder, John
"A. Mathes chief of police, r. L. Re-
mine city attorney, Wash. Crumley i;
city physician, w J. Matthews; city
engineer, ]. NJ. Phillips: policeman,
Mat Miller.
The chairmen of the different COM
smittees are as follows:
Streets, John G. Campbell finance.

There are only two Dmocrats on thee
Sboard, VIC. Snapp and Jno. w. Cam
eeron, but they are as good as ever
voted the ticket, They are pure metal
an the midst of dross.
This administration has started out
vto be one OF those abOminable goodys
goody things which makes everybody
tired Il a policeman is caught In a
saloon off comes his head, and a great
string of red tape which wouldmake
any one except a mental servant take
the jimjams. The retiring police corps
did not have to have laws woven
round them which would lead one to
believe that they were not sober and
respectful. The state of Tennessee
could not produce a better set of Of
ficers than those who lost their jobs
with the old board But what of that?

vote required on the demand for the

THE SAME OLD STORY.
Again the Republicans and small
coterie OF Democrats remained mute
and the quorum disappeared. This time
16S Democrats voted, one more than on
the first roll call. On motion of Mr..
Catchings, call of the house was or
dered. During the progress of the call
Mr.. Hull asked that his colleague,
Perkins, be excused, on the ground of
important business. Objection was
made, and then Mr.. Hull moved that he
be excused. This resulted in parlIa-
mentary tangle. On rising vote he
was excused. Mr.. Reed then demanded
tellers, and the house by a vote of 133 to
81 refused 10 excuse him. Mr. Reed
demanded the yeas and nays, and,
backed by the Republican minority,
succeeded in forcing a roll call on
the question of excusing Mr.. Perkins
BY vote of 1873 to l16 Mr.. Perkins was
excused. Upon the announcement Mr..
Reed moved an adjournment. 1t was
lost on rising vote, so to 149.
Mr.. Catchings, from the committee on
rules, then offered a resolution ordering
the sergeant-at-arms to take into Gus
tody and bring to the bar of the house
such members as were absent without
leave. the order to be continued in case
of adjournment, and be returnable at
the next session Of the house. The
sergeant-at-arms was also instructed to
employ sufficient number Of deputies
to carry out this order. The previous
tion passed, and then at 3 o'clock the

apparently slowly, but surely, not OnlS,

which reach here, in the south as we'll
The Nictheroy and America are still
delayed here, and the correspondent ha s.
been informed that the real cause Of
dissatisfaction amoug the crew, eSpe-
cially those who reshipped for higher
wages is the fact that they are unable to
obtain the money which they claim is
due them. This may or may not be the
cause. and it is given out for what it IS
worth, and upon the statement OF 3
member of the crew of the NIctheroy.
1t is also reported, unless the crew re-
ceive all the money due them. and are
assured of prompt payment in the fut-
ure. that there will be considerable diff
ficultv in getting the new Bra Zil-
ian cruisers to face the enemy, except
they are manned by BraZilians,l IN which
case the efficiency of tine new cruisers
as fighting vessels will be greatly di-
minished. as the BrazilianS do not seem
to have men skillful enough TO handle
the appliances of modern warfare
with which these vessels are fitted
out. 1t is stated here that
Nictheroy and her conSort nave been IN
structed not to engage the AquIdabau

nation which is anXiously hoped for.
1t is said that should the rebel admiral
be signaled, the government vessels
including the two ships fitted out III
New York, will put to sea and trust to
their superior speed to escape being
shelled by the rebel cruisers.
AS already stated in this dispatch,
should this be the case, revolution III
Pernambuco, which will declare itself
III favor of Admiral de Mello. may be
expected as soon as the government war
ships are out of sight of land.
In fact. it is reported that
steps have already been taken
looking to popular uprising in
favor of the insurgents, and the conspi-
rators are only awaiting the signal to
declare themselves against President
Peixoto and to openly furnish the IN
surgents with the assistance which they
have previously been extending in Sc
cret to the adherents of Admiral lie
Mello.
Should Pernambuco revolt,itis added,
it is probable that other cities and states

CABLE FROM RIO,
But the State Department Is
Num-

Mum.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Capt. Picking
sent a cable from Rio to the navy de-
partment yesterday, and another today,
which Secretary Herbert took over TO
the state department after it had been
translated from the cipher. As has been
the case with all cable dispatches re-
Gently received from Capt. Picking,
nothing could be learned of its con-
tents. There is good reason to believe
that the United States and German COM
manders have recently co-operated to
lessen the harm done by the fighting.
1t is probable that some remonstrance
has been made to Admiral Da Cana
against firing on the city of Rio. the
ag. cement between Peixoto and Mello
brought about by foreign naval COM
manders having been violated in that
respect. 1t is also said that protection
has been extended to lighters from the
American merchant vessels in the har-
Dor, and that Da Cana bas been warned
not to interfere with them. 1t is be-
lieyed that instructions have been sent
to Capt. Picking, looking to further I'M
portant action on behalf of the govern
ment. but of just what nature cannot be
aScertained.

BUENoS AYREs, Jan. 6.-Advices re-
ceived here today from Montevideo say
that the officers of eX-President Bal
maceda, of Chill, who took refuge in
Uruguay and who are at Montevideo,
have decided to assist President PeiXoto
in his struggle against the insurgents in
Brazil. 1t is added that President
Peixoto's ships have left Montevideo
for some port in Brazil, supposed to be
Pernambuco, preparatory to a move
ment upon the part of the entire fleet
of the government of Brazil against the
war ships commanded by Admirals De
Mello and Da Cana. The dispatch from
Montevideo also says that the Brazilian
government troops piliaged Santa Ana
before evacuating the town.

NoRTHFIEID, Mimi. Jan. 6.-North-
feld has Il reputation in many things
which is far spread, but now comes TO
the front again in a novel law suit
which will attract universal interest.
The story is that one Theodore Pflamm,
shoe merchant of the West side, some
six years ago made an agreement with
Rawley Ashley, negro, to pay the lat
ter $25 and expenses if he would secure
the former a wife. Shortly after
Ptiamm married an estlmable lady, ard
i'll short time Ashley made a
demand upon Pfimam for S4l, claiming
that amount for his fees in getting Mr..
Pnamn's new wife. PAamm has all the
time emphattcally denied any such con-
tract, and claimed the whole story to be
an attempted blackmail case, concocted
by his enemies to ruin him. Tie affair
had been nearly forgotten when papers
were filed in the justice court. The
trial came on today, and has been the
principal topic of conversation on the
street. The trial has not been completed

CHOSE a GOOD POINT.
The Corwin Inaccessible to Re.
pOrtePs

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 6.-The rev.
enue cutter Corwin tonight still lies at
anchor Off Point San Quintin, about
fifteen miles north of San Francisco
and twenty from Mare Island navy
yard. If Capt. Munger chose this
anchorage Oh account of its inaccessi-
bility his selection was well made. All
day the Corwin has been watched by
reporters, and attempts to board her or
to hold conversation with those on
board have been absolutely futile. With
the solitary exception of the officer
landed yesterday with dispatches not a
soul has left the ship up to the present
time, nor has any one from shore com.
municated with her. About II o'clock
this morning steam was gotten up, but
the anchor was not weighed. and up 10
dark there was no sign of her moving
perceptible. The Mohican did not come
down from Mare Island today.

MILITARY DICTATOR

of Brazil. 1t is not the intention in
these dispatches to in any way side with
the insurgents, or with the government;
the Associated Press correspondent has
endeavored 10 be strictly impartial and
to give the facts as they are clearly rep
resented, without being influenced by
the biased reports of either side.
Thus it is that the Associated Press
correspondent has delayed mailing this
statement as 10 the spread of the move
ment in the North i'll favor of the in
surgents until it was clearly demoa-
strated that such was the case.
The feeling in favor of the insurgents
seems 10 grow and gather strength on
the ground that President PeiXotO
has assumed the role of military
dictator, and that he proposes
to continue bayonet rule so long as
he thinks fit, or, in other words,
SO long as it is necessary to employ the
troops to keep him in power. The Ques-
ton of a monarehical or republican form
of government is rarely touched upon,
and when it is, the general sentiment is
strongly in favor of the maintenance of
the republic and the upholding of the
republican institutions. 1t is upon this
ground that the insurgents claim to be
fighting, and it is upon this ground that
they are
