The Shemweil Verdict Still Talked
About in Lexington.

A gentleman, who came from the
West yesterday, said that one of the
reasons that caused the people of Lex
ington to be so abusive of the jury was
that the Sherwell people knew what the
verdict would be twenty-four hours be-
fore it was rendered. a prominent citi-
zen went to see Mrs. Shemwell early
Sunday morning, and told her that her
husband would be acquitted. But there
is stronger proof: J. W. McCreery,
County Treasurer, is connected with
Shemwell by marriage. Early Sunday
morning he went to several parties and
borrowed money to pay off the
jury. How did he know how
much to get, and why was he getting it
ready on Sunday, when he knew the
jury would render a verdict Monday
morning People are asking about these
things, and there is much belief that the
shemwell people knew what the jury
would do,in advance.
The gentleman also says that Mr..
Prim, the Quaker juryman, said the
reason he voted against conviction was
that nobody testified that Shemwell did
the killing

PANTRY THIEVES AGAIN.

I hey Rob Mr.. Kenney This Time--A
Husbands Sensible Answer.
Night before last the same gang OF
thieves, probably, that has been operat-
ing on Hillsboro stteet, and the one
which cleaned up and made such a par
ticularly bold raid on Mr. SINNERS pan
try, paid the store room of Mr.. John
Kenney friendly CALL AS in the case
of Mr.. SINNERS loss, wagon was used
by the thieves in which to cart away
their stealings. Nothing in the house
was touched, with the exception of pan
try supplies, the Togues seeming to
fish only for the direct benefit of the
inner man.
Some weeks ago this same gang of
thieves made raid on a suburb pantry.
The master of the house was awakened,
as they went away probably, but dOzed
off again to slumber. He intended leav-
ing on an early morning train, but did
not do so.
When the theft was discovered the
next morning, the gentlenan's wife re-
marked regretfully: ooh, John
wouldn't it have been nice if you had got
up and walked in on them here in the
pantry"
"Not much - exclaimed the husband,

of my own hams !"

Mr.. Pou's GubunatoriaI Candidate

Solicitor Pou was in the city yesterday
sporting a handsome cane which he said
was carved from wood grown upon the
historic Bentonville battle field, in John
ston county. But what is more inter
esting yet, he said it was carved and given
him by Johnston's candidate for Govern
or, the present sheriff of that county, j.
7, Ellington.
''The history of recent events, " said
Mr.. Pou, contains a notable instance OF
the rise of certain gentleman from the
office of sheriff to that of Governor and
thence to the presidency. Our oauui-
date is not unlike that great man. He is
as big as anybody whose name has been
mentioned for Governor. Developed in
him to a degree are all the best qualities
of character which have made Mr..
Cleveland famous, and what is better he
has a soldiers record which any man
might be proud of. There is no reason
why history may not repeat itself in this
instance.

Threatened Cold Poison tor chubby

Yesterday Canda Rowland, large
and particularly dark skinned colored
woman was sent to the roads by mag
istrate. The charge against her was an
action brought by her husband to make
her "keep the peace"
According to the husbands story,
Canda had knocked the peace into such
small fragments that he feared that if
she attempted to demOlish it any more
he, himself, would have to undergo the
disagreeable experience, sometimes prac-
tically termed, planting" 1t seems
that married life between the pair did
not run at all smooth. The climax of do
nestle infelicity came when the wife
calmly told her spouse that she intended
to dose him with "cold poison" Then
the scared husband had her arrested.
She was found guilty of having broken
the peace by her threat and must work
cut the costs in the case on the roads.

cottolen. as . Trade-nr.rl,.

An important aud interesting trademark
suit, which has been before the courts for
some time, has recently reached decision
in the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District Of New York The suit
was for an INJUNCTION against the infringe
ment of compliments (The n. X. Fairbanx
Company. Chicago) trademark "Cottolenei'
by the use of the word ''Cottoleo.n The
validity Of COttolene as q trademark was
made permanent by an injunction, the case
being summarized by the court as follows:
at seems to be the law that wnen manu-
facturers have educated the public TO ask
for certain article by its trademark name,
they have acquired the right to insist that
products manufactured by others shall not
be given to the public under that name. It
is just that it should be so for the benefit
derived from such name can only be OBJ
tanned by faithful service in furnishing
articles Of recognized value. Moreover, If
the trademark name might be adopted by
others, inferior articles might then be pro-
duced and sold under it; and thereby the
value to manufacturers of the reputation of
the name used by them as a trademark
would be destroyed"

has Just reached here that at Silver

while Il large party was attending a

setting fire to the building, forty-One
persons were burned to death and ff-

were at their height someone climbed
on a bench, from which point he ex-
pected to get a better view of what was
going on. In doing so his head struck
the lamp hanging from the ceiling, over
turning it. The oil Immediately caught
fire and everything in the room being
dry and of an inflamable nature, the
room was soon a mass of flames. Some
one shouted: ''Shut the door and keep
quiet; it can be put out" by this time
the confusion was so great that people
began scrambling to reach the door.
Women and children were trampled
under foot and as there was only one
exit to the hall and the fire being be-
tween the majority of the crowd and
the door many rushed headlong into
the flames. Silver Lake is small viii
lage of about 100 inhabitants and it is
$50 miles from the nearest telegraph

THE CIRCULATION SECURITY.
Mr.. Springer Explains Feature OF the
Carlisle Bill.

Nj. Springer Explains y Feature OF the
Carlisle Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Representa-
tive Springer said to-day in partial ex-
PLANTATION of the currency bill as modi-
fed by the Carlisle amendments:
''In the first place the Carlisle
bill proposes a radical change in
the manner of securing the bank
note circulation. The rapid payment
of the public debt, the limited number
of bonds now outstanding and the
further fact that many of them are
held in trust capacities in this country
and as permanent investments by per-
sons residing abroad, have rendered
the kind of security now required i'm
practicable. The Carlisle bill proposes
for security for the circulating notes
of the national banks, instead
of United State bonds a guarantee
fund consisting of legal tender notes
or currency certificates to the amount
of 30 per cent. of the circulation ap-
piled for; also safety fund to be raised
by tax of one-half of l per cent. per
annum upon the circulating notes until
l. reaches > per cent. of the whole cir
culation, and as a further security a
first lien upon all the assets of the
bank and upon the amount which may
be realized by the double liability fea-
ture of the national banking law. The
guarantee fund of so per cent. the as
sets of the bank and the personal liza
bility of the stockholders can only go
to the paVment of the circulating notes
of the bank. which is the custom;
but the per cent. guarantee fund
raised by tax upon all the circula-
ton of the country is common fund
out of which the notes of any failed
bank may be paid. if Tie guarantee
fund, the assets and personal liabili-
ties of the stockholders are not suf-
ficient Thus, on circulation of $780,
600, 600, the present national bank cir
culation. the safety fund would amount
to s1O,0O0,OOO, and this whole
fund could be drawn upon to
pay the notes of any bank that failed.
This security is considered ample by
the safest financiers and bankers of the
country. The currency bill as amend
ed does not compel national banks to
enter into the new system. They may
continue under the old law, but it Is
thought that banking officials will soon
see the advantage of the new plan and

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Dec. Silt Is
not too early now to forecast somewhat
of the work that will come before the
legislature, which coGvenes Wedncs-
day. January . The item OF criminal
costs alone will certainly command the
services Of the best men in the house
and senate. Two years ago an ap-
preparation of 100000 was made
for criminal costs, That appropriation
was exhaused last summer. and the
state is now confronted by deficiency
of over 100000 on such costs. Many
plans have been suggested TO reduce
these costs, but the constitution OF the
state fixes limits to such legislation.
There is an agreement between mem
bers who have arrived SO far that the
election law must be changed. 1t Is
agreed that the law as it stands makes
crimes upon the ballot easy and com
paratively safe.
