A Sad Accident.

A most fearful accident occurred in
East Nashville last week, resulting in
the almost instant death of Miss Ada
Slaughter, teacher at Wards Female
Seminary in that city, Miss Slaughter,
Miss Hopkins, also teacher in the same
school, and Misses Pearl White and
Janey Bailey, pupils, were driving in
one-horse carriage. One of the shafts
broke, and before the horse could bd
stopped the vehicle had veered around
and turned over. The shock and fright
to Miss Slaughter was so great that 1t
caused the breaking of blood vessel,
and she died in fifteen minutes from
hemorrhage. She was unconscious from
the accident until her death. The ether
occupants of the vehicle wore but slight
ly injured. The horse was not running
away, and the accident was most pecu-
liar one. Miss Slaughter was talented
teacher, and her sudden and tragic death
has caused widespread regret. Her
home was in Winchester.

John G. Clark, a prominent citizen and
retired merchant, was found dead in his
chair at Covington last week. About 4
o'clock he arose from his bed, complain
ing of smothering sensation. Mrs.

chair, and again retired. She was
awakened about $50 o'clock and was
shocked to find her husband dead. Mr..
Clark had been in i'll health for the past
two years from complication of dis
eases, yet his death was unexpected and
quite shock TO his family and the COM

lived for number of years at Sauls-

ton, where he resided for more than
twenty years. He was devout mem ber

GUS moonshiners in East Tennessee. IS
dead, having been killed by his brother,

to go, when he bad promised to return.
Bill went home. chopped his fuel, and

Right then he sworo he would never
make any more moonshine as long as
Judge Key was on the bench. judge
Clark had hardly assumed his duties
before Bills still in the mountains was
booming.

Agricultural Experiment stations.

The assembly committee on agricul-

OF the agricultural experiment station
at Knoxville. The committee was very
favorably impressed with the work
being done at the station. Senator
John Thompson, chairman of the COM
mitee, says he does not know exactly
what recommendation will be made.
The government appropriation is $l5, 600
per annum, and If two other stations
were established this fund would, of
course, be divided, giving each station
1000. There are, however, so many
expenses attached to equipping and rum
ming well-regulated station that the
State would necessarily have to make
considerable appropriation, which it Is
not now in condition to mako unless
there was donation of land and equip
ment or funds by the people of the
counties or sections desiring the stations

Tomorrow there will be elections in sew
eral states, and issues of the greatest va
riety will be presented to the people. In
New York city the Tammany tiger is trying
hard to break the bars of retirement behind
which the people put him year ago, and it
Is possible that through an unfortunate mis-
understanding Of the necessity of harmony
on the part of certain factions of misguided
reformers the wary beast may succeed in
getting loose again for a season. 1t seems
to be probable that the republicans will
carry the state of New York and elect a re-
publican legislature. In Maryland ring
management is also on trial, and the fercest
campaign in the history of the state has
been fought, while the leaders on both sides
are claiming the victory. with the chances
rather in favor of the republicans, so far a 8
the governorship Is concerned. Kentucky,
too, has been the scene of a fierce contest
with free-silver man standing for demo-
cratic votes or sound money platform
The early reports appeared to favor the re-
publicans, but of late their opponents seem
to have regained courage, and are now
claiming the state. In New Jersey the
chances are said to favor the election of
republican governor. first in many years

mainly upon the issue of the corruption that
has existed In the state for several admins
trations. Massachusetts, and Iowa are not
expected to reverse the present state of af-
fairs. and it is the general anticipation that
they will elect republican governors. Ohio's
campaign has proved most interesting. and
the democrats, headed by Campbell, have
forced the fighting with what seems now, on
the eve Of the battle, more likelihood of sue
cess than the tremendous republican majori-
ties Of the last two years would indicate as
possible. Utah will enter the list of states
on the basis of the present election, and the
forecasts from there all show a stubborn,
close fight, with the result in doubt but
with the probabilities leaning slightly to-
ward the democrats. Mormonism and silver
have entered largely into the campaign, but
as both parties declare for 16-to-1 system
of bimetallism, the fight is really local The
other elections are attracting little interest
beyond the borders of the states A tidal
wave Is among the possibilities, but shrewd
political observers do not anticipate such a
result.
The Star will give fresh bulletins promptly
from every state and large city, and WILL as
usual, keep its friends fully posted by means
of the stereopticon and its issues.

The confidence of the Virginia gambling
house proprietors and their patrons In their
security under the lax administration OF at
fairs in Alexandria county was rudely shat
tered by Governor O'Ferrall Saturday night.
The raid that took place then was well plan
ned and successfully carried out Apparent
ly not whisper of warning had reached the
gamblers who crowded the most notorious
of all tie dens, and today the business is
sadly damaged. Governor O'Ferrall has
acted in good faith toward the Washington
people, who, through the board of trade and
cooperating citizens, furnished him several
months ago with indisputable evidence Of
the law-breaking going on daily across the
river and has begun the crusade which he
then promised the Washington committee.
True. he might have acted sooner. and there
may be a disposition to think that he de-
layed his blow beyond the necessities. but
now that he has planned and conducted
thoroughly effective raid against the leading
establishment there Is cause for hope that
the dens will be permanently closed, and
there Is no room or disposition for captious
criticism. Early IN the summer Governor
OFerrail FORMED the plans, secured the de-
tectives. set on loot the investigations and
made other important arrangements IN the

Longer Terms for burglars.

.f
The necessity for a longer term of i'm
prisonment for the crime of burglary, which
has been more than once pointed out in the
columns of The Star, was most forcibly IL
lustrated by case which occurred in this
city few years ago. Several houses in one
neighborhood had been entered, in tolerably
rapid succession, and finally suspicious
character was arrested through his bold
ness or carelessness in disposing of some of
his plunder in so-called pawn brokers' es-
tablshment, but really a repository for
stolen goods. 1t turned out on the trial that
the prisoner was an old offender, and that he
had been guilty of more than one of the
burglaries above referred to. OF course he
was convicted; but the tender-hearted but
misguided judge, instead of giving the dam
gerous criminal the longest term of i'm
prsonment provided by law, gave him the
lightest sentence possible, and sent him up
for the minimum term. He was taken to the
Albany penitentiary, where, by show of
good behavior and exemplary conduct as a
prisoner, several months were deducted from
the allotted term, and he was set free ac-
cordngly. Did the fellow reform, and thus
demonstrate that the mercy of the judge and
the encouraging prison rules were justified,
at least In his case? Not bit Of it. He
promptly found his way back to Washing
ten. and was again arrested, tried and con-
victed of burglary before the short period
for which he was first sentenced had ex-
pired
Hasn't community right to better protec-
tion than this sort of legal procedure af-
fCrds? And, If existing laws do not give it,
should not concerted movement be made to
secure better legislation on that point? For
want of better agency, the board of trade,
as the recognized mouth-piece of healthy
public sentiment, might well take the sub
