DR.. Hugh FIournoy MoNary.

The Princeton Banner says: cdr.
81. F. McNary, of this place, has ao-
cepted the position of assistant super
intendent of the Hopkinsville asy-,
lum. We wanted him to be superin-
tendent, position he was eminently
qualified to fill, but he is sure to fill
his present station with signal ability.
His friends here, both Democrats and
Republicans, are gratified at the ap-
pointment."
DR.. McNary is we'll and tavorably
known in this city, having been as
sistant physician at the asylum from
1867 to 1869 inclusive, under DR..
James Rodman's superintendency,.
and his popularity in Caldwell as a
physician and gentleman, is unbound
ed. The place was offered him by
Gov. Bradley, and it was not until
the solicitations of numerous other
friends were brought to bear upon
the Doctor that he decided to accept.

THE N. E. A. REACHES ST. AUGUSTINE
TUESDAY.
The Oldest City In America Gives a Royal
Welcome-A Fine Program for the
week-More Travel Saturday.

ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA, Jan. 2l.-The
N. E. A. arrived here this afternoon
after long and round about ride
from Tampa. Leaving there last
night at 8 o'clock, the party did not
.gatto this place until 2 Pm. Owing
to some disagreement between the
rival railroad systems on the East
and West. coasts, the company opera
ting the near and direct lines across
the peninsula, refused to pull the
special GAYS and the trip was made
over the Plant System by way Of
Waycross, Ga, hundred miles or
more out of the way. The delay in
arriving here necessitated the post
ponement Of to,day's meeting until
tomorrow morning. On reaching this
point we found L. W. Gaines, of
Elkton, waiting to join the Kentucky
delegation. Walton has not turned
up and will not be on hand.
believe l gave a synopsis of the
features of interest in the visit to
Tampa, in my last, excepting the
trip to Egmont Key on Monday.
This excursion 20 miles down the bay
on the steamer Olivette was one of
the most enjoyable features of the
meeting. The whole association was
given an elegant entertainment,
Lunch was served on the boat, cigars
and fruits were passed around and a
band of music played often during
the day. Everybody got off at the
beach and spent an hour gathering
up shells from the sea shore" Fish
ing tackle was provided and some of
the party raised up planks in the
wharf and dropped in lines and had
the satisfaction of catching some
striped sheepshead fish weighing to
8 pounds each. The local commit
tees were unremitting in their atten-
tons and courtesies to the visitors
and everybody left with a good inn
preston of Tampa and its people.
The st. Augustine committee on
reception met the association at Jack
sonville, 35 miles above here, aud
every member was given a ticket for
himself and baggage to and from the
hotel Most of the crowd went to the
Alcazar but finding it difficult to get
located promptly, many of them scat
tered out and secured good accomo-
dations in smaller hotels near by.
Most of the hotels are in square of
the Plaza and the three largest ones,
the Alcazar, the .Cordova and the
Ponce de Leon are under the same
management. The Ponce is the only
rival of the Tampa Bay Hotel in
splendor we have yet encountered

the price being from 81 up. The
others charge $3.50 day and other
first class houses about the same.
The next two or three days will be
devoted to business meetings with
numerous entertainments from time
to time. These will Of course have TO
be described in a future letter. Sat
urday the trip to Palm Beach, 1853
miles below here, will be taken.

Shot by a Negro school Teacher.

Alfred Doom, one of the oldest
residents of Lyon county, was shot a
few days ago by Louis Smith, a ne
gro school teacher. Mr.. Doom had
forbidden the Smiths 10 go Though
his land, but they persisted in doing
so and tore down fencing. Mr.. Doom
and his son, Columbus, were putting
up the fence a second time when
Louis Smith and his brother, John,
appeared and after few words Louis
shot Mr.. Alfred Doom through the
leg. The negro was arrested, and a
lynching bee was narrowly averted.

Public school Building Reduced TO Ashes
About 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon
fire was discovered issuing from the
roof of the ,colored Public School
builing and an alarm was sounded,
bringing out the fire company in a
very short while, but the structure
was frame one and was soon reduc-
ed to ashes. The blaze is believed
to have started in a closet in the
old part of the building and it was
under good Roadway when first dis
covered, How it originated is a
mystery as there had been no fire in
the building since the day before,
when a Teachers Association was
held there, and it looks very much
like case of incendiarism. The
loss is about $4,000. There was
an insurance of $1,000 on the build
ing and $500 on the furniture and
fixtures.
The trustees Ct the school and num-
Der of citizens held a meeting yester-
day forthe purposeof discussingfuture
plans, ETC., and it was decided to con-
tinue the school without interruption,
using the various colored churches
and halls in the city for the present.
In the mean time an effort will be
made to rebuild in the near future.
The old building was a two story
structure with ten rooms and four COM
modious, halls, and had a seating ca
pacity ofabout five hundred scholars.

BILL FOR REVISING THE LIBEL LAW.
MIR. Carroll's Measure Favorably Reported
BY the Committee.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 25.-Among
the House bills favorably reported on
by committees this morning was Mr..
Carrolls measure revising the libel
laws of the State, and in which the
newspapers of the State are especially
interested.
Section says: In all suits brought
in this State for the publication of
libel, in any newspaper in this State,
the plaintiff shall recover only the ac-
tual damages sustained, if it should
appear from the evidence that the
publication was made in good faith
and its falsity was due to mistake or
misrepresentation of the facts, and,
in the next regular issue of the news
paper, after such mistake or misrep-
resentation was brought to the knowl-
edge of the publishers, or manager,
whether before or after suit is brought,
a correction was published in as con-
spicuous manner and place in said
newspaper as was the article sued on
as libelous. Section 2: In all actions
for libel, implied malice may be re-
butted, and if the jury finds there was
no express malice, then no exempla-
ry or punitive damages shall be
awarded.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Many Questions of the Australian Ballot
System Made Clear.

many questions OF the AUSTRALIAN Ballot
System Made Clear.
FRANKFORT, Jan. 25.-An important
decision was handed down in the
court of appeals to-day involving sew
eral disputed points in the Australian
election system. Decision on account
of similarity, has bearing on the case
of Strauss against johnson, over the
office Of clerk Of the Jefferson county
court. X, ,II--t.'.- -
The points decided upon are in ac-
cord with the claims of Mr.. Strauss
in his contest. The questions were
raised in the case of County Judge
Houston against Steel, of Boyd coun
ty.
The court in its decision says the
county canvassing board, composed
of the county Judge, sheriff and
county clerk, must examine and
count OF reject all uncounted and
doubtful ballots returned by election
officers, and must not be governed
exclusively be certificates of officers
in counting the votes cast.
The next point decided is that a
ballot marked with lead pencil in
stead of ink and stencil is valid bal
lot, and must be counted, that marks
blurs or blots on ballots that appear
to be accidental, are not such distin-
gushing marks as will invalidate the
votes
II stencil marks should be made
just outside the square that contains
the party device, or just outside the
little square opposite any ono candi-
dates name. il does not invalidate the
ballot, and ii should be counted, that
is if mark is near enough to device or
squire TO leave no doubt OF voters
intentions.
The Strauss-Johnson case was not
reached by court Of appeals, but on
account of similarity of several
points involved, il can be seen how it
may be decided. At least, such is
the construction placed upon it here.

Sheriff s, B. Crane, of Dover, Tenn,
passed through the city Thursday night
en- route to Henderson on the look
out for Joe Wells, who is wanted in
Dover, for the murder of a man
named Carney. A man calling him
self Joe Wells had been taken into
custody at Henderson, and his pic
ture, which was sent to the Sheriff Of
Stewart county, fully answered the
description of the man wanted, but
when he was taken before the Sheriff
he found that he was not the Joe
Wells desired. u" Wells was then re-
leased from custody and got out of
the city al. once.

PHOENIX. MAY 2. 1886.
SOLID FOR M'KINLEY.

The sentim emit in Arizona for Nc
Xinley is the same that pervades the
whole country I.li,nois has instruct
ed for Mckinley and it was pivotal
state.
Every indication points Ito his nomi-
nation upon the first ballot. The DEM
ocrats are now bulsity engaged in Sc
aact;ng delegates to the Chicago con-
yention. and the work is marked with
the same gloomy enthusiasm which
follows the selection of pail bearers.
Tie enthusiasm is all among the Re
pubiicans
The remarkable following which has
sprung up for Governor Mckinley,
is clearly the result of popular ad-
mfraition for the man whose name is
linked with the policy OF protection.
The people upon the Republican side
are for Mckinley, and it appears as it
tie fayorfte sons campaigns were
uere.y for effect. Governor McKin-
Iey's burst ito the fore is IN no sense
the result of THE efforts of either him
self or his friends. II is in the nature
Of a spontaneous demand for the man
from Ohio. The question OF the tariff
is not yet settled, and the people who
Naye suffered through THE operations
of the Democratic tariff act are deter
mined that we shall get back to a solid
basis again.
The idea is not altogether confined
ito. the ranks Of the Republicans. There
are thousands of Democrats who are
eagerly awaiting AN opportunity to de-
nosit their ballots for protection, and
in Governor Mckinley they recognize
the logical leader of the campaign
soon to open. Upon the other hand
the Democratic party has no standing
whatever before the people. Its record
Tor three years shows nothing to which
the party can point with pride as an
evidence of tahe frlfillment of promise:
made in 1892.
There is no question where the st
Louis convention will stand upon the
matter of the tariff The platform o:
the convention will contain a planl
demanding sufficient revenues for thu
government. With a platform of THAI
kind there can only be one result.

people said that Chairman Kibbey, Of
the territorial Republican central COM
mittee, WAS a good fellow, but he
needed fixin';;" others said this was a
mistake, that he was simply open for
conviction, and when they saw a Ger
tain individual in conversation with
Kibbey, they said that Kibbey was no
longer open for conviction, but was al
ready convicted; but subsequent events
proved that he only needed ''fXin'.''

good "financiering' managed to get the

INTELLECTUAL PAUPERS.

A box of oran ges, craze of aDricots,
a box of raisins and two small jars of

We suggest that even now he reas-
semble his rump convention and sub
stitute the orchard products of the Ar
izona Improvement company for it's
human products. Christy seems to
Glaye taken strange delight in elimi-
mating all owners Of brains from his
following. There is not one of his

could make motion to adjourn in

A SEWER SYSTEM.

The city of Phoenix ought to own a
sewer system The time has arrived
when it is no longer economy ito pay
tribute ito a private corporation for in
ferior service.
Phoenix lis poplllous enough and
wealthy enough to own and control its
own sewer system and the public de-
mands that a move be made in this di-
rection. A first class system can be
constructed and operated for a reason
able price and the city council should
take steps towards submitting it to a
vote of THE people.
An election has been called for the
purpose of voting bonds and filling va
cancies. Why not authorize the peo-
PIE to also vote ON the question of the
city constructing a sewer system Of its
own? The demand for one is great.
