United States Senator Nelson has just
received a letter from Dulany Hunter,
who was page when Mr.. Nelson was in
Congress, but who is now connected with
the consular service. He was sent out
last summer by the Department of State
to establish consular posts in Asia Minor,
made important by the Armenian troubles.
He writes from Trebizond, and his letter,
dated October H. is full of interest. He
says:
"On the night of the 4th 1000 or 5000
armed Turks made demonstration against
the Armenians of this place, alleging that,
a few days before, Armenians had fired
upon Turkish official who was passing
through Trebizond on the way to Constan-
tinople from the interior. Fortunately the
authorities were able to restore order be-
fore any shots were fired.
"On the morning of the 8th suddenly a
shot was fired, it is believed by an Ar
menian in desperation at hearing of the
death of a relative in the riots at Constan-
tinople. Then other shots were fired al
most immediately, and in flash the whole
town was in a state of anarchy. The Ar
menians were entirely surrounded by the
Turks and massacred-even the soldiers
firing upon them. About 500 perished,
and they were the best youth and brains
of the community.
"The women and children were spared
and so were all the foreigners, though for
hours we thought it was to be a general
massacre. The killing commenced at
about IL o'clock, and between 3 and 4
o'clock the pillage and Iooting of peoperty
began and lasted until sunset. About
$1,000 600 worth of property was destroyed.
The military is now in control, re-enforce-
ments have arrived and order prevails,
but there is still grave anxiety. The Ar
menians do not yet venture out, and the
most serious rumors are in circulation. but
as they will be disproved or the powers

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA, Nov. 12.-Heavy
firing early this morning in the barracks
drew an immense crowd which was or
dered to disperse. The crowd became so

resistance and shots from the crowd, the
troops began firing into the people and a
regular battle ensued. The people re-
treated, leaving twenty-three killed.
The cause OF the firing IN the barracks

struck by His own Engine.

Mr.. W. H. Russell, better known
as ''Pap" Russell, one OF the oldest
locomotive engineers in the employ of
the L. & n, was struck by his own
engine in the Guthrie yards Satur-
day night and it was at first thought
that he had been fatally injured. He
had just had supper and coming out
of the hotel undertook to cross the
track in front OF the engine, which
was in charge of his fireman. The
locomotive knocked him down and
when picked up he was in an unoon
scious condition. He was taken into
the hotel and DIR Marshall was i'm
mediately summoned. An examina-
ton showed that no bones were bro
en-, but the shock had paralyzed the
old man and it was about two hours
before he showed signs of relief. He
was taken to his home in Elkton
Sunday morning. Mr., Russell has
been running the tram between Elk
ton and Guthrie ever since the branch
road was built and had charge of the
first l. & N. train that ran into this
city. He has been constantly in the
of the L. & N. for more than
thirty years and is now about rs
years old.

A Succession start.

Messrs. w. T. Cooper g. Co., the
new grocers in the big Mercer build
ing, had their formal opening Satur-
day and started out with most en-
couraging volume of business. Their
store is some thing different from any
other grocery in town and it is doubt
full if there is handsomer stock to
be found anywhere in the state. Ev-
erything being new and bright, and
arranged with consummate taste, the
interior is the admiration of all who
enter it. The large room is chock
full of goods, one entire side being
devoted to canned goods, which are
stacked up in pyramids on the top
shelves to the lofty ceiling. While
they carry every class of groceries,
the firm will make specially of fan.
cy goods, including candies and con-
fectioneries of the finest brands. The
prices at which their goods are being
offered are revelation to customers.
Everything is marked below the rul-
ing prices and the policy of the house
will be to merit patronage by offering
inducements in the way Of
prices. Spot cash are the only terms
upon which goods are sold and this
rule will in no case be departed from.
The success of the new house is al
ready assured, and the statesmen are
kept busy waiting upon the crowds
OF customers.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Nov. 15.-Mrs
Lydia Hentschell asked the justice
in the Grant Street court to-day if
she did not have right to kiss her
husband as often as she wanted to.
She wastold that shehad. She thanked
the Judge and left the court room
with her friends. Miss Annie Wheel
or who had disputed the point with
Mrs. Hentschell, was held in $500
bonds to keep the peace.
Both women reside in the same
house and on the same floor, directly
opposite each other. Mrs. Hentscheil
is bride of four weeks. The trouble
began the other night, when
Miss Wheeler, who was slit ng
in her room, heard a report.
She listened for few minutes, and
then heard Mrs. Hentschell talking
in loving terms to her husband. This
was more than Miss Wheeler could
stand, and, jumping hurriedly to her
feet, she ran across the hail, and,
opening the door of the Hentschell
apartments, exclaimed in loud tone
that all kissing should be stopped OH
the premises. Mrs. Hentschell OBJ
.jected to her interference; 80 did her
husband. Before Miss Wheeler left
the rooms she is alleged to have
said several things that she should
not have said, and as a result the
young wife had her in court to-day.
A number of witnesses testified in
Mrs. Hentschell's favor, and the court
decided against Miss Wheeler.

for railroad commissioner in the First
district, who was defeated by Demp-

Governor Brown tonight received
official notice that Porter would con-
test Dempsey's election.

officers do not remember whether

In the Drakesboro precinct of Muh-

Irwin and 81 for Alexander for rail
road commissioner, showing strange
irregularlty in printing the ballots
for that county. All of the canvass

STREET CAR FRANCHISE.
The Council Asked to Consider PROPOSE
ton


The council has before it PROPOSE
ton to grant twenty-years franchise
to street railway company represent
ed by Mr.. Jno. J. McHenry, of Hart
ford, Ky. Mr.. Ike G. Adair, of Fords-
vile, KY, is now in the city CONFER
ing with the council on the subject,
bearing with him letters of recon-
mendation from Mr.. McHenry.
The ordinance asked for is for
twenty years and proposes to use
electricity or other motive power for
a street car system.
Hopkinsville offers fine field for
such an undertaking. Such enter
prises are on paying basis in many
towns of less importance than ours
and there is every reason to believe
that such plant could be operated
here with entire success from the start.
This is abeut the only thing needed
to put the "Pearl City of the Penny
rile" fully abreast of the times.
Mr.. Adair and his associates will
find the council ready to encourage
them with favorable franchise and
the public will stand ready to coop
crate in making the business venture
a profitable one.
