TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
WIN Not CAN an Extra session.

Nashville, Jan. 1S-Gov. Turney was
interviewed today regarding Comptroller
Harris suggestion that he call the Legis-
lature in extra session. to repeal the peni-
tertiary bond act and depend on the sur
plus revenues of the State for this year
to meet the demands of the penitentiary
act
The governor said he would not call
the Legislature together, because there
were several fatal objections to such
course Such action would necessarily
suspend all steps toward purchase of the
farm site and building of the penitentiary
for twelve months, being just twelve
months before the expiration of the lease
when the State must be in condition to
assume charge Of the convicts
A close and accurate calculation of re-
ceipts and disbursements for 1894, says
the governor based on those Of 1888, viii
leave surplus of not over $143,O00 in the
treasury January 1, 1885,
The governor says that the assessed
valuation of property may be reduced
this year because of prevailing financial
distress, and that 'penitentiaries cannot
be built on estimates on paper; that
rs.'such estimates may be upset. at any
moment, even if based on strictly accu-
rate figures" that demands of the treas
must be met regardless of speculative
calculations"
An extra session, he thinks, would
cost $4,000, (which would be better ex-
pended in payment of the State debt"
He thinks, pfesunling that Comptroller
Harris estimates were correct, that it
would be economy to sell the 4la per cent
prison bonds and devote the surplus to-
ward buying up outstanding q per cent
bonds.
The governor continues: IF we make
the sale of tire penitentiary bonds and in
vest the surplus as indicated it will
amount to exchanging 415 per cent for
9 per cent bonds. The State is now get
ting its head above water, and no chances
| should be taken on theories, estimates OF
contingencies to mar its prospects. We
can be in no worse fix on the 1st day of
January, 1895, by failing to appropriate
any surplus to penitentiary purposes, even
though we fail to place the penitentiary
bonds, and the Legislature and that sur
plus will come to the capital at the same
| time when the desired legislation may be
had if needful."
The house, or parsonage, of the Pres
| byterian church at Stanton, in Haywood
county, was destroyed by fire one night
last week
At the time of the trouble the pastor,
| Mr.. Taylor. was absent in attendance at
| prayer meeting at,the Methodist church.
| The flames destroyed the house and its
| contents. The FIRE is supposed to have
originated by accident, and so quickly
| did the flames spread that all of the fur
+, niture and clothing within were burned.
! During the fire a prominent resident,
+, Mr. NJ. d. Colhoun, exerted himself to
check or stop the spread of the flames,
/. and becoming overheated, as well as ex-
| cited, he was seen to suddenly totter and
! fall, whereupon it was discovered that he
had died from heart disease.

find. The house is occupied by Beau
ford Holdenback, a laborer, who was
found lying dead in his bed, with his
clothes on, when the doors we're battered
down by neighbors. His body was de-
composed and so rank was the smell that
the coroner could not enter the room to
hold the inquest. Holdenback was last
seen to enter the house Sunday night
with friend. He was heard to cough
during the night, but since no sign of
life was observed in the cottage. Death
was evidently caused by la grippe. as 10
evidence of violent death could be found
He had apparently been dead FIVE or six
days, and immediate burial was demanded
by the putrid condition of the corpse.
Holdenback has wife and one child, who
were visiting in Decatur, Ala.

The HOmeopaths of Missouri After Gov.
Stone with a Sharp Stick.
ST. Louis, Jan. 22.-The Homeo-
pathic society met Saturday night in
the Board of Educ alton building, with
DIR. w. B. Morgan presiding.
The question of having homeopath
appointed on the state board of health
was taken up and discussed. The sec
retary, f. D. Garfield, reported that
he had written to Gov. Stone on the
subject some time ago, but had re-
ceived no reply.
1t was intimated that the governor
had been influenced in his appoint
ments by some of his medical relatives
who were allopaths.
A heated discussion followed, in
which some of the members claimed
that the failure of the governor to ap-
point at least one homeopath on the
state board was an insult to the pro-
fession at large. and unless he did so
in the near future they were in favor
of carrying the matter into the courts.
The secretary was requested to write
to the Homeopathic society of Kansas
City and ask its cooperation in obtain
ing proper recognition of the homeo-
paths of the state.

PECKHAM FOR JUSTICE.
Cleveland Nominates Him for the
Supreme Court Bench.

Cleveland Nominates Him for the
Supreme Court Bench.
The President sent to the United States
Senate the name of Wheeler H. Peckham, OF
New York City, to be Associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court. Wheeler H. Peckham,
nominated for Associate Justice Of the su-
preme Court. is a brother of Judge Rufus
Peckham. Of the New York Court of Ap-
peais. He was appointed District AT
lorne by Mr.. Cleveland when he was
Governor, but subsequently resigned.
Although the New York Senators defined to
talk, it was understood that the nomination
was distasteful to them, but they would have
been glad to have seen the name or the
brother sent in instead. The indications
seemed to be that the Hornblower struggle
would be renewed against this nominee.
Wheeler II. Peckham, who has been named
for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,
was at one time District Attorney OF New
York City. Mr.. Peckham was born at Albany
in 1888. At school he won the reputation OF
being a careful student and won several
medals for proficiency. After receiving m
academic education, he entered the Albany
Law School, from which he graduated IN 1864.
The yeung lawyer at once opened an once
In his native city, and followed his profes-
sion with varying success until 1857, Wnen
his health began to fail and he went to
st. Paul, MINI. He still continued his law
practice, however. and was interested in
number OF cases which attracted general
attention in that newly settled territory.
In 1868 he returned to Albany with his
health renewed. In 1864 he went to New
York. and rapidly rose to position OF prom
inencs in his profession. He gained mulch
popularity by his connection with the famous
Tweed ring suits in which he was instru..
mental in procuring the conviction OF
Tweed and his co-conspirators, with the as
sistance OF Judge Lyman Trematne, OF Al
bany. and John Parsons, OF New York City.
In November, 1888, Governor Cleveland up.
