SENSATION IN KENTUCKY.
Social Trouble-A Snnguinary En-
counter Apprehended.


LEXINGTON, KY, August M-The
famous letter purportlng to have been
written by Mrs. J. Fletcher Johnston. OF
this city, to Governor Bradley, regarding
the appointment OF Mrs. Judge Cantrill.
and Mrs. S. A. Charles as delegates TO
the Tennessee centennial is developiag
one OF the biggest sensations ever known
in Kentucky. s. A. Charles. the husband
OF the latter OF the two ladies named,
who was referred 10 In the letter TO Gov
ernor Bradley as being OF no more cul-
ture than chambermaid. ~ pushing the
matter TO a crisis. He took a photo
graphic copy OF the Governor Bradley
letter and letter written by Mrs. Euge-
ME Dunlap Potts to newspaper
Office In this city, and showed them to the
managing editor. Mrs. Potts Is the So
ciety editor Of this paper. and Mr..
Charles expressed surprise 20 the editor
that he should employ Mrs. Potts, after
the editor had said that the handwriting
OF the Bradley letter and that OF the
one known to have been written BY Mrs.
Potts were the same.
Judge George Denny, the recent Re-
publican nominee for Congress, who IS
a brother-in-law OF Mrs. Potts. says he
will not allow Mr.. Charles. or any other
mao. to tradvce any member of his
family; that there is not a drop OF cow
ardly blood In the Denny or Dunlap
veins, and he proposes to defend the
honor OF his sister-in-law. no matter
what the consequences may be. He does
not talk OF filing suit. and the indica-
lions point toward a personal encounter
between Mr. Charles and Judge Denny
Both men are recognized as possessing
the most daring courage and the friends
OF both apprehend "a sanguinsry en-
counter. Mr. Charles Is out OF the city.
which fact alone has doubtless thus far
prevented a tragedy. He will return to-
