FIVE HUNDRED STATE TROOPS ORDERED
OUT BY THE GOVERNOR.
BRADLEY IN PERSONAL COMMAND
OF THE SOLDIERS.

Frankfort, KY, March 15.-The
state guard is in charge OF the State
House. Military surveillance was es-
tablished at 10 o'clock tonight. The
courthouse bell gave the alarm at
$3.50 o'clock and in twenty-five min
utes the McCreary Guards, which il
Company B of the Second Kentucky
Regiment, under Capt. Noel Gaines.
was under marching orders at the
armory, and went at double quick
time to the State House.
The orders were made by Gov.
Bradley, who at the same time sent a
message to Col. John B. Castleman,
commanding officer of the Louisville
Legion, to come at once to Frankfort,
with 300 men.
Orders were also sent to Capt.
Longmire, at Lexington, to report
Immediately at the Capitol with
Company E.
There will be 400 soldiers paroling
the State House square tomorrow
morning at daybreak. Already the
calls of the pickets can be heard
UhO nOloe anu CONFUSION OF the
crowd
The reason given by the Governor for
calling out the militia is that a mob
was going to take charge of the State
House during the night, and also
that he had been told Senator G. J.
Bronson was going to have him ar
rested. The indignation of the Dem
ocrats is great, and the Senate will
take some action tomorrow morning.
The Democratic leaders assert
that the Governor has no authority to
order out the militia in the manner
in which he adopted, and that the
law specially provides that either the
Sheriff, the Mayor, the Marshal or
he Jailer must be placed in charge.

Robbed His Meat House.

While Geo. Veazy and family, OF
the Nebo country, were away from
home few nights ago, some thief
entered the meat house and carried
off all their bacon. There was about
$50 worth of meat. The thief then
broke open the dwelling and appro-
priated two shot guns. Suspicion at
once pointed to Barnett Roby, a near
and he was arrested and
jailed at Madisonville. When placed
behind the bars he confessed the
crime and told where the stolen prop
ertv was hidden.

A CRISIS NEAR AT HAND.

Frankfort, Ky, March 14.-There
are many reasons for believing that a
crisis in the bad feeling engendered
by the senatorial race may be reached
at the joint session on Monday.
Nearly all of the members Of both
parties in the General Assembly
think so, and it is safe to say that a
majority of them will be armed. as
they have been for many days past.
Though Gov. Bradley has not ex-
pressed an intention of doing so, it is
firmly believed by many Republican
leaders that he will have the militia
at the State-house on Monday.
The Democrats in the Senate today
introduced an amendment to the
Senate rules, which are the rules of
the joint assembly, whereby no one
except members, officers of the Joint
assembly ana newspaper correspOn-
dents will be admitted on the floor.
Under the present rules ex-members
and others are admitted there. The
change will exclude Drs. James and
Walton, whom the Republicans de-
clare shall never leave the assembly
chamber.
1t was the intention of the Repub-
Iicans to try to have James and Wal
ton vote to-day, but their plans mis-
carried. 1t is now their intention to
have them demand the right to vote
on Monday, when the Republicans
expect to make an effort to stampede
to Carlisle, in the hope that it may
react and elect either Boyle or Car
Isle. The Democratic leaders are
determined that Drs. James and
Walton shall not even remain in the
hall if they attempt to have a voice
in the proceedings, Everybody here
knows what will be the result of an
attempt to exclude them. The Re-
publicahs swear they will resist and
say that the persons who attempt to
EJECT them will not get out alive. The
Blackburn men do not expect to elect,
but they are determined to prevent
the election of any other man, even
Il 1t takes fight 10 prevent it.
The lighting was barely STAYED off
,o-day. Several men had their hands

Sommers, of the Senate, summoned

OFT Vests wooIIy Calf.

A curiosity which has attracted the
attention of the farmers around Crof,
ton, is a calf covered with a fine coat
of wool in the place of hair. 1t is the
property of MIR. o. E. West, a former
policeman of this city, who now lives
at Crofton. The mother, small
Jersey COW, gave birth to the freak
two months ago. 1t has the appear
ance of an ordinary calf, save the
fact that it is as woolly as a sheep.
The young animal is in healthy con
dition and Mr. West has been offered
a good sum for it, but refuses to part
with it at present.

Destructive Conflagration at CasIxy.

The large two.story frame dwell
ing of Mr.. William q. Burt, a well.
known young farmer living nea1
Casky, was consumed by fire, togeth,
er with nearly all its contents, about
twelve. o'clock Thursday night. The
loud barking of the dogs walked Mr..
Burt and his wife from their slum
bers just in time to save them from a
horrible death. The supposition is
that the fire originated from defect
i've fue. A sewing machine and
few articles of wearing apparel were
all that was saved. Tie loss will
foot up between $1,000 and $4,000.
There was an insurance of $1,000 on

THE CORN cRop.

Corn is hard crop to market satisfac
torily. Freight rates from the corn
belt are high, out Of proportion even
when the price Of corn is high, and
their tendency is to become prohibitiye
when there is an extraordinary CROP.
What the producer gsts is the actual
price when bis corn reaches market,
less freights and charges necessary to
get it. Hence when there is large crop
an indefinitely large part Of 1t is never
marketed at all. To get 1t in shape
for market it must be charged with the
labor cost of hnsking ard to an increas-
ing extent OF shelling also, All this
can be saved if the corn is converted
into pork and beef. A hog of good
breed will store the value OF barrel
of corn SO as greatly to increase its
price in market and greatly diminish
the cost Of marketing it. Hence in a
good corn year immense quantities of
the yield are marketed in the form of
pork.

est an expression Of opinion as to prices
is of little value. Yet I think this
much can be said that farmers will
have no cause to be dissatisfied with
the prices they receive flor their crops
this fall. AS to apples, there is great
q great quantity of fruit that cannot
be classed as A /; Notwithstanding this
the crop is 80 large that prices will rule
low. From present Indications and
buyers current offering, I believe 81
per barrel will be about the price for
ell except one or two of the choicer
varieties this season. Oircums, anoes
of course may alter this, which / think,
however, viii give an upward rather
than downward tendency in prices.
Barrels are becoming scarce aud dear;
farmers In some sections are experien-
cling difficulty in getting their fruit
picked, which will end in their simply
having it shaken down and hauled to
lighthouses and cider-mills, while many
more than now intend doing SO will be
likely to hold on to their stocks. There
is every appearance of fair demand
for all the good apples and potatoes
western New York can supply.
