The League Team is Here.

The Nashville Southern League
team arrived in the city yesterday
and played at the Athletic park in the
afternoon. The club is made up en-
tirely of professionals and are the
winners of the Southern League
Pennant the present season. Another
game will be played this afternoon
and lovers of fine base ball should
not miss it, as there will not be bet
ter club to play in this city at any
time. The Maysville nine were two
days late arriving in Clarksville and
will not play here this week. They
will, however, play three games next
week, beginning Monday afternoon.
1t is safe to say that large crowds
will witness all of these games as
some of the best ball playing of the
season will be given. Our home nine
has been greatly strengthened and
expects to win a majority of the
games from the Northern Kentucky

To the voters of the second ward.

GENTLEMEN
| hereby enter protest publicly
against the action of the city auxil-
iary committee in declaring Mr.. j. D.
Ware the Democratic nominee for
councilman in the second ward, al
though the certified returns showed
that majority of the voters cast
their votes for me. This committee
as an auxiliary committee had no
power under their call or otherwise to
canvass the vote of said ward, but
were merely authorized to count the
vote and certify to the correctness Of
same.
The matter will be appealed to the
City Executive Committee, which is
the only body having authority to
deal with such questions under party
regulations. The Auxiliary Commit
tee is simply campaign committee
appointed to serve from year to year
and has no governing authority what
ever, and / refuse TO recognize the
right of any such committee to count
me out after l have been nominated
by the people. NJ. G. FORBES.

A Hustiing Agent.

The following from the Elkton

Waterworks Being Pushed.

Wilkinson & Smallhouse, the water
works contractors, have begun work
on the plant with a large force of
hands. Work on the dam is being
prosecuted with twenty or more
hands. The site is about $50 yards
above the railroad stone quarry, half
mile above the electric light power
house. The foundation is being
made with bags of cement and
crushed stone. The banks are steep
and high at that point and the resor-
voir will be large enough for all pur-
poses.
The standpipe is on the highest
hill in Gainesville, on a tract of IL
acres of ground. A large number of
teams are now hauling stone. The ex-
cavation is about complete and as
soon as some castings arrive the
building will begin.

The eclipse Tuesday night was {
success: The opportunity for OBJ
serving it was such as rarely occurs
and everybody viewed the passage OF
the moon through the earth's shadow.
AS the time for the eclipse ap-
preached light clouds began to gath
er in the sky and lightning was OBJ
served on the horizon. There was
general fear that the moon would be
obscured, but shortly before it enter
ed the shadow the clouds passed
away and Dame Luna shone from a
perfectly clear sky. Being almost at
the full and high in the air the op-
portunity for observing the eclipse
could not have been better.
At just 10 o'clock the shadow was
seen cutting into the east limb of the
moon, and it slowly progressed across
the face. By 1l:l0 the eclipse was
total and the moon presented the ap-
pearance of a coppery ball with
ring of silvery light around the edge.
Viewed through opera or field glasses
the spectacle was highly interesting.
About 1870 thin crescent of light
made its appearance on the side
where the eclipse began, and by 2
o'clock the moon was shining as Sc
renely as if nothing had happened.
A heavy rain followed the eclipse on
Wednesday morning.

A Strong Market this Week.

Our tobacco market this week was
very strong on good leaf and lugs,
but common leaf was low, the de-
mand being light. Considerable me-
dunn leaf was sold at good prices and
there was lively demand for good
lugs. No very fine leaf was offered.
Sales amounted to about 800 hogs
heads, with offerings of but little in
excess. Receipts were light, the re-
port showing only about $50 hogs
heads. Receipts for the year l3,4S5
hogsheads; sales for the year 12,-
722. These figures will be consider
ably increased when the present crop
has all been sold. Nothing is being
done in the loose market at present
as this is little early for this branch
OF the business to make a showing.

II ~ great pity that the old debtors
jail here cannot be torn down and the
new Clerks office be built on its site.
The Debtors jail" is spoken OF as an
old landmark, and those who favor its
removal are considered icOnoclasts.
The contract for the Clerks office Will
be signed December 81 1885. Work Will
be begun April l, 1896. and the house will
be turned over TO the Board of Super
visors on or before July !. 1896. Bonds
will be issued TO pay for the building.
On August %, 1885. the Board of Super
visors declared that the boundary of each
parcel OF land should be a lawful fence
against horses. cattle etc. OF course the
law could not 90 into effect until the
end OF six months. The negroes were
violently opposed 10 the "no-fence" law.
and recently one member of the board
received an anonymous letter mailed from
Water View. in MddleseX county. saying
that II he did not get the law changed
he would be killed on sight.
