Miscellaneous.

At Chattanooga last week while John
Ellis, a medical student, was admins
tering chloroform to Lack Holly, 70
year-old boy, previous to surgical
operation on his foot, suddenly his heart
stopped beating and the boy was dead.
As he was merely suffering from g nail
stuck in his foot anesthetic poisoning
was thought to have produced death,
causing excitement in medical circles.
On post-mortem examination, however,
clotted masses of blood as large as eggs
were found IN the heart, which ex-
planned the cause of death.
Bennett Holland, one of the pioneers
of Benton County, died last week, aged
ST years. lie leaves a widow and a
number of children and grandchildren
to mourn his loss.
The people Of the Kerrville, Milling
ton and Cuba neighborhoods, in Shelby
County, are greatly wrought up over
what they believe to be the depreda-
tions of an organized band of horse
thieves. Six animals belonging to
farmers in these sections have been
stolen at different times either from the
stables or fields within week, and in
nearly every case saddles and brides
have been taken also.
The semi-annual meeting of the Jeans
Manufacturers Beneficial Association
was held at Knoxville last week, with
all the mills in the Southwestern and
Middle States represented. The re-
ports showed a good condition of bust
ness, all running full time. The next
meeting will be at Nashville.
Hamilton County, of which Chatta-
nooga is the county-seat, last week sold
100000 of its bonds at a premium Of
S5,57O. Sixteen bids were opened, mostly
from Cincinnati, Chicago and New York
houses. A noteworthy feature OF the
issue was that the highest bid OF SiO5..

Nervousness has as many queer symp-
toms. But whatever these may be, they
one and all depart in consequence of the
soothing, invigorating influence of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which tones the
system through the medium of thorougAl di-
gestion and assimilation. Tremulous nerves
soon acquire steadiness by it's use. 1t pro-
notes sleep and appetite, and fortifies the
system against disease. Malaria, constipa-
ton, rheumatism and kidney troubles are
relieved by it.

An Assassin Capture a.

Chattanooga, March John Lemons,
who waylaid Constable Eugene Lynch
near Rath burn, and shot him from am
bush in a cowardly Manner was cap
tured today near Cohutta, Ga. With
him was his mistress, Massie Sykes, the
cause of the trouble, who has fearlessly
followed her lover in the long and ex-
citing chase in which bloodhounds were
several times close on their trail.
The girl is but Is years old, but a
plucky mountain lass, and when they
were surprised in negro cabin she at
tackled the officer fiercely. Shortly after
the capture posse of Rathburn citi1ens
appeared at the cabin and had they
found Lemons there the law would
doubtless never have to reckon with
him.
The dogs trailed the murderer over
fifty miles, but were thrown off the scent
by the pair taking to the river.
Officer Lynch died today. Rumors
have been rife on the streets today that
the citizens of Rath burn would como
en- masse and demand Lemons from the
sheriff.

that the people of Tennessee must carry

eraA Wills, General Secretary Kelle-
brew, J. L. Weakley, John J. Mccain
and III. w. Buttorff were appointed
committee to perfect arrangements and
plans for securing private subscriptions
to the enterprise. Letters from many
sections of the State show rapidly
awakening enthusiasm in the exposition
and every director is hopeful.

Investigating the State Institutions.
Nashville, March There were three
assembly committees at work here to-
day.
The committee on education put in the
day at the Tennessee Industrial School,
were charmed with the workings of the
institution and left tonight for Knox
Vile.
The committee on charitable institu-
lions went back to the hospital for the
insane and examined it thoroughly by
dividing into sub-sections. In looking
over the books and accounts they found
some discrepancies which did not suit
them and they will make another ex-
animation. There was a change of
book-keepers recently and the present
bOOk-keeper cannot explain some of the
work of his predecessor.
The penitentiary committee spent the
day at the main prison. They found ove1
400 inmates, only eighty of whom were
employed. A number of convicts were
examined. The charge that money sent
to prisoners never reached them was not
subsCantiated. The charge that the
male and female prisoners were not
kept apart was also found to be untrue.

Novel Scene In Kalamazoo.

An unusual scene was witnessed in Kali
amazOo, Mich, recently. At the request
of the ministerial alliance, under whose
auspices EvangcliSts Whittlc and Burke
were conducting revival meetings there,
one day was selected as n day of prayer in
the city. All the business houses werc
asked TO close from to 4 in the afternoon,
and the great majority agreed to do so. 1t
was suggested that the saloon keepers also
be asked to close during these hours and "a
committee went around to secure their
consent. As result every prominent sa-
loon in the place was absolutely shut dur
ing the two hours requested, and on some
of the doors was posted this sign, "Closed
from 2 to for the prayer meeting" AS
far as known it is tho first time in the
state that liquor dealers have closed to
help out evangelists. The meeting was
crowded and drinks could not be obtained
during tho two hours mentioned.-Ch

Burrell Bond, negro and eX-slave,
now prosperous planter, took 300 pounds
of tea to Memphis recently and placed it
on sale. The tea was grown by Bond on
hisplantation in the st. Francis basin, Ar
kansas.
Two years ago Bond bought the seed in
New Orleans and planted it. Tho crc p
last year was good, but this year the yield
was splendid. The tea was tested and pro-
nouncod to be of good grade.
Bond will engage extensively in tea Gull
ture next year. He has made arrange,
ments with an educated negro to read
him several papers on tea culture.

MORE ARISTOORATIO VISITORS.

They Are Not After Heiresses, However,
but Are Bound For Cuba.
Two more members of the British aris-
tOcracy are about to visit. this country
but, coming in the wake of such celebrities
as the Duke of Marlborough and Almeric
Paget, they lay claim to no other purpose
than to visit Cuba.
In the best of times that is God for
saken place to travel in, but now, when
the niggcrs there are in revolt, it is worse
than ever.
Yet tho Hon. Hubert George Henry
Howard, son of the Earl of Carlisle is go
ing to make a campaign with the Cuban
insurrcctionists to gather material for
writing a book, and young jerome Church.
ILL., son of the late Lord "Randlc' and
grandson Of the late Leonard jerome, is
coming out to make a campaign with tho
Spanish forces in Cuba.
a few fresh cigars and packages of Hon
duras cigarettes will probably qucnch all
the military ardor in these youngsters
composition, and then they will come back
to New York and engage in the legitimate
enterprise of making campaigns at tho
Patriarchs and Assemblies.
Young Churchill, by the way, is next Of
KIN to the Duke OF Marlborough in success
sion to the title, being tho eldest son Of
the dukes late uncle
He is clever, bright and handsome
young chappie but in tho ordinary course
of events he does not wear the strawberry
mark.
The fashion used to be for the young
lordlings to come over here and chase buff
falocs and mountain sheep and elk.
Since those products of the wild west
have become extinct the American heiress
has been getting perhaps moro attention
than she was entitled to, until this new
fad of ramming round in Cuba developed
itself

CONGRESSMAN NELSON D1NGLEY.

ings and during the debate in the house
his questions were more pointed and pene-
trating than those of any other member Of
the house, and his statements commanded
the respect accorded to absolute authority.
He is generally regarded rs one of the
safest as well aS one of the best informed
men in the house. 1t has been suggested
that it would be too much for Maine to
have the speDkcrship and the chairman
ship Of the Ways and means committee,
too, but this objection will not bear scru-
tiny. There are only four members from
the state, all are of long experience, and
in n house where experienced members arc
as scarce us they will be in the next there
is every good reason why capacity should
be awaited of.
Moreover in the Fifty-frSt congress
Maine received almost as great recognition
as this would involve, ana no objection
was raised Then Reed had made CON
test for the SpcakcrShip. Now that office
will come TO him without his seeking

fed &c have it pass him by. Circumstances
rendering his election to the spcakcrship
almost II necessity it is recognized rs be-
ing due to Mr.. Reed that he be permitted

Discouraging reports about the gold
fields in Alaska have been brought down
from that region recently by unsuccessful
miners, but every once in awhile some one
turns up with the other side of the situa-
ton. Last week Peter Wyberg arrived in
San Francisco from the Yukon river,
bringing with him $45, 900 in gold dust

gings at Forty Mile river. He says the

ELEVATED SIDEWALKS.
Chicago Planning Some on a Level with
Second Stories.

william E. Hale is at the head of
movement Of State street (Chicago) prop
srty owners to build an elevated sidewalk
on both sides of that thoroughfare, between
Lake and Madison streets, with the pur.
pose of connecting the center of the great
shopping district with the Union elevated
loop. Besides the two elevated walks
traversing these three blocks on State
street u spur will be built leading off from
the main walk at Washington street and
extending one block east to Wabash av-
enue, where connection will be made with
the Wabash avenue branch of the elevated
loop.
The sidewalk as projected will be built
on level with the second floor of the
State street business houses and will be 10
or ~ feet in width. 1t will be entirely in
closed with glass walls and roof, so that
pedestrians making use of it will not be
exposed to the weather. 1t is not to be
movable sidewalk, such as was discussed
before the year of the Worlds fair, but is
to be n graceful but substantial and per-
mancnt structure, extending along over
the curb mt a height of IS or 20 feet
The support for the sidewalks will con-
sist of q single row of iron posts set at tho
CuFD, So JIllb llGy Will nOJ Interfere WIN
traffic, either on the street or on the sur
face sidewalks. The width being at tho
greatest estimate IL feet, 6 feet on either
side of the curb, there will be plenty of
room between the walk and the buildings.
Its construction being of glass, it will not
be liable to the objection that it will shut
out light from the adjoining business
houses.
Each State street store that desires it
will have n passagoway built to connect
its second floor with the elevated sidewalk.
1t is held by the projectors that tho new
institution will well nigh double the value
of State street frontage, and that it will
furnish an invaluable boon to ladies who
go into the down town district to "shop'
in the big stores. They will be able to
reach the State street shops from almost
any part of the city and do their buying
without having to wade through snow or
slush or to face any fierce winds from the
time they enter the elevated train until
they leave it on the return trip.
There are to be no stairways from tho
walks except through the stores. Shoppers
will, of course, be able to make use of tho
elevators if they wish in descending

DINGLEy OF MAINE.
The Man Who VIII Probably Head Con-
Eressionnl Committee.

1t is reported that Representative Ding
ley of Maine will be chairman of the ways
and means committee of the house under
the new organization. He is probably not
seeking the appointment, but he is recog-
nized as one of the best qualified men in
the house for the place. There is a strong
rivalry for this position between Dalzell,
Payne and Hopkins. If either Of the three
gets it, there will be apt to be some re-
sentiment felt by the friends of the other
two, whereas the appointment of Dingley
would give little cause for grumbling He

ton In Recent Years.


ton In Recent Years.
Writers on finance are beginning to
study the novel question of an enormous
increase in gold production. Tho London
Spectator goes into tho subject at some
length, and admits that the figures are
startling. Tho present annual yield Of
gold is nearly three times the average of
the century. From the year 1900 to 1850
the gold produced was worth G163, 24S,-
500. During the succeeding 45 years the
output is estimated at 81, 153 0SS, 500.
Early in the century the annual yield
was 60, $50, 600, while the gold turned out
in 1894 is valued Mt 933, 400 600, and the
estimate for 1895 is placed at $40, 500, 900,
