thesprisoners are allowed the use
of charcoal furnaces. Eight white
men were iucarcerated in the,,wo d
Ell cell of the second story. Among
them was Henry Kiliens, convicted
and sentenced to be executed on
Friday Jany. 10th 1897, for the
murder of DR.. N. G.. Merrill, On
Wednesday Aug. 18th 1896, near
Woodwork.
Although the death warrant
with the date fixed for his execu,

been read to him by the Sheriff at
that time, it is supposed that i'll.

veyed to him and that he had been
rendered so desperate thereat, rs
to not only attempt to burn the
Jail by setting the woodwork Of his
cell OH fire, but also attempted to
commit suicide by ilDbibing the
contents of a wash containing some
poisonous substance which had

Fortunately, both attempts
proved abortive, as the alarm was
sounded by one of his fellow-pris-
oners and the fire extinguished be-
fore any material damage was
done to the building aud medical
assistance rendered in time to
check the (ieleterious effects Of the
poisonous inhibition and save the
life of the would be suicide.
A petition for communication OF
sentence has been forwarded to
the pardoning power and as there
are some extenuating circumstanc-
es in his behalf, it may he acted
upon favorsb!y.
Should he, however, forfeit his
life as a penalty for the commits

by the Governor, it will be the frs

Hopkinsville, KY, June 10 .96'-
There was better feeling on the
market on Tuesday and prices ruled
higher on medium to, good Bremen
and Italian styles than last week. On
Wednesday and Thursday the market
was irregular and low on all grades.
There was no improvement in the Of
ferings, in point of quality or condi-
tion and the demand is greater than
the supply for the fine and better
grades, while the lower grades are in
super abundance, and the question
arises, who will use them, or where
they can be placed to rid the market
of this poor common nondescript to-
bacco. The condition of the growing
crop is very lattering at the present.
There is very great fear that the crop
will be too early and will have to be
cut in August, which is too early. 1t
will not have the benefit of the Sep
TENDER dews, so essential to give it
body that is wanted.

ACCEPTABLE TO ALL FACTIONS.
If the Democrats at Chicago adopt
a free silver platform, and it now
seems they will, DR.. Clardy will be
an especially strong candidate for the
nomination, indeed almost invincible.
This district is strongly in favor of
free silver anyway, and with ma
tional platform declaring in favor of
free and unlimited coinage the candi-
dacy of single standard advocate
would necessarily he futile.
The friends of Hon. HI. d. Allen in
this county have mentioned his name
in connection with the race but he
will not become a candidate. This
removes any possibility of an aspirant
for the distinction from Union, and
without "favorite son" in the race
DR.. Clardy becomes most formidable
here, in truth we doubt if there is a
congressional possibility in the dis
trict who can defeat him.
Again the sentiment among both
wings of the party seems to be favor
able to uniting on the Christian
county statesman, and many of our
best informed politicians are of the
opinion that he is the Moses to lead
us out of the wilderness next fall

That Doctor Clardy has, during the
past term in the lower House, made a
COOL and faithful servant, always
striving for that which he believed
would be beneficial tc his constitu
ents, no one can deny. That he is
well qualified gentleman and deserv-
ing of an endorsement at the hands
of the voters Of the Second Congress.
ional district is also fact which is
recognized by all. We take pleasure
in announcing this honest Democrat
and elegant gentleman for e-election,
and believe that he is one of the few
men, if not the only one, who would
meet with the hearty support of both
wings of the party.-Telegram.
SOUND DEMOCRAT.
DR.. Clardy is serving his first term
and has made an excellent record as
a member of the House for ability
and devotion to duty. His views on
all public questions are sound and in
accord with the teachings of the Dem
ocratic party and the masses of the
people.-Hancock Clarion.
HAS DONE HIS DUTY.
DR.. Clardy has done his duty to his
party and constituents and won many
friends. He has shown himself to be
a man of influence, having been sue,
cessful in carrying through every
measure undertaken by him. OF
course he has not had sufficient OPP
portunity to make a reputation for
but enough has been seen to
show that he is fully competent for |
the place.-Henderson Cleaner
