Nashville Centennial.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 1.-The
celebration in this city of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the approval By.
George Washington, June LIST, 1876, OF
the act which made Tennessee the SIX,
teenth State in the Union, was marred
in its opening spectacular features and
parade by rain, which set in early in
the morning with every indication OF a
purpose to continue all day. The city
mad "keyed" itself up for the occasion
with elaborate decorations and it was
intended to make military and civic
parade one of the chief features of the
early proceedings. Cavalry and infaD-
try and uniformed Knights of Pythias
and numerous civic societies were to
form in line beginning to assemble as
early as eight a. M, the "Hermitage"
cavalry escorting sixteen young ladies
representing the sixteen States at the
date of Tennessee's admission. So far
az these arrangements could be carried
out the programme was fulfilled, but
the inclemency of the weather sadly
marred the effectiveness of the display.
The procession ended at the audi
forum where George Washington's
proclamation admitting Tennessee in
to the union was read. The orator of
the day was Hon. John NJ. Dickinson,
Assistant Attorney General of the
United States, who read most elabor-
ate historical address.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: II
have no hesitation n recommending
DR.. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While I was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with pneumonia
succeeding la grippe. Terrible parox-
ysms of coughing would last hours with
little interruption and it seemed as if
she could not survive them. A friend
recommended DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry /; it was quick in its work and high
ly satisfactory in results"

brilliant Wedding.

NEW YORK June Lone of the most
noted royal alliances that has taken
place in this country, occurred here to-:
day when Prince Albert Radziwill, of
the ancient house of Radziwill, was
married to Miss Prudenciana Milno,
who comes from an old Mexican fam
lily, which was high in the councils of
that country during the regime of the
monarchy. St. Francis Xavier's Church,
the scene of the wedding, was prettlly
decorated. The church was crowded
with the Catholic aristocracy of the
city and there were also present rela-
tives and friends of the contracting
couple from Europe and Mexico. Arch
bishop Corrigan, attended by two dea-
cons and four subdeacons, performed
the ceremony. The bride is 26 years
old and the groom is 80 years old.

KENTUCKY FOR SILvER.-The sound
money democratic cause was overwhel'
mingly defeated in Kentucky on Satur-
day. At the county conventions held all
over the State Secretary Carlisle was re-
pudiated, and Senator Blackburn got a
boost which his admirers believe will
make him formidable candidate for
the presidency.
Accurate figures on returns from the
State show go silver delegates to the
State convention against 240 for gold.
The silver men carried every congress
sional district in the State except the
Fifth, which is the Louisville district.
Even the Sixth district, which Mr.
Carlisle represented in Congress for so
many years, was swept with the tide.
The result will be that when the free
silverites assemble at Lexington on
Wednesday they will probably read
Mr.. Carlisle out of the party and reor-
ganize the State central committee with
exclusive free silver men.
At Lexington ex.Congressman w.
G. P. Breckenridge was made delegate
by the boiling goldbugs. This probably
closes the door against his return to
Congress.

more strangers in the city on June Both

are to be cared for is a problem that is
yet to be solved. The hotels will be
overrun with people during the re.
union week and all the boarding
houses will be quickly crowded. Many
people are predicting that there will be
200, 1000 strangers here on the day the
corner stone of Davis's monument will

MONDAY EVENING, JUNE /, 1896.

THE DEMOCRATS of Kentucky on
Saturday last pooled their issues with
those of all the other Southern, ana
many of the Western States, and de-
clared for free silver. Cheap money is
certainly, in the very nature of things
injurious, and what affects one part Oh
this country, for good or evil, must al
feet, to some extent at least, all the
other parts; still, as there is so little
money in the South and SO much 10
the North, that the latter would be
the greater sufferer by free silver goes
without saying. Then, too, as the
North is so infatuated with unrestrlct-
ed suffrage that it even conferred that
privilege upon the ignorant and guilt
Bile negroes of the South, it should, OF
course. bow to the expressed will OF
the majority of the voters, aud take 8
dose with as good grace as possible.
And so, again, chickens come home to

N. Smith and the Plant line steamer
Margaret. The latter launch passed
off beautifully, but the former was &C.
companied by serious disaster. The
Smith slid down the ways into the
water with about 100 people, including
one lady on board. AS she struck the
water, the cradle slipped to one side
and the boat heeled over and sank in
ten minutes. Those on board jumped

drowned and two children are report

ST. LOUIS, June Professor Bau-
man, an expert insurance adjuster OF
Chicago, is in the city, and, after look
ing over the field, he said the total loss
will foot up over S20,000,000. One OF
the features of the storm is the long list
of missing persons. Up to this morn
ing 124 persons are reported missing,
though the police believe that many of
them will be found with relatives. In
East st. Louis some fear OF an epidemic
of disease is expressed, owing to the
vast quantity of decaying animal and

AN INCOME tax would be just and
proper, and the repeal ofthe civil SER
vice humbug would be wise, and both
would be popular with the men whose
votes carry elections. Free silver would
be unwise and harmful, but that it is
popular is everywhere apparent. The
democratic party is in bad shape to be
sure, but desperate men resort to deS-
perate means, and as it has no other pos
sible grounds, under existing condi-
tions, upon which to base the falntest
hope of success, its leaders, if they be
competent, will adopt those referred to-
Upon them the party may win; without
them it is sure to lose. The people
may desire vain thing, but, where
every man has the right to vote, they
have the power to crafty their desire,
whether it be vain or otherwise.

Mr.. HENRY WATTERsoN, of Louis
vile, at banquet in London last Sat
urday, said that among the Confeder-
ates and their descendants there is "but
one feeling-a feeling of thankfulness
that God had laid the weight OF his
hand upon the Southern Confederacy."
Mr.. Watterson and the other Southern
gushers may really think as he says ne
does, but to suppose that the ex.Con-
federates and their descendants who
suffered and still suffer by reason of the
death of their short lived and storm
Graded nation do so, would be to deny
that they have the feelings natural to
human nature.

A letter from King George says that
Wednesdays storm was the most VIC.

"Cleve," the magnificent plantation OF
Major Henry Byrd Lewis, on the Rap
pahannock, is a scene of vast ruin.
The damage to and loss of property
cannot be estimated. Many farmer
is heart-sick and discouraged, and will
not attempt either to replant his storm
swept fields or corn or harvest his
wheat and oats, and many a tenant
who was comfortably quartered and
happy is to-day looking for and trying
to rent shelter, at least, for his family,
from over whose heads the wild and
furious storm took the last single.
