That Morrison Grounding.

An account was published in the
Kentuckian in February of Mr..
Eugene Morrison's experience with a
pet grounding, that emerged from
his winter quarters on Feb. 2, and
when the sun came out broke out of
a cage in which he was placed and
returned to his hole in the ground.
We are sorry that we cannot vindi-
cate the 40 days tradition in the sub
sequent actions of the grounding,
but the truth must be told. The
grounding did not remain IN the
ground for 40 days. On the contra
ry he returned in three days and con-
tinued to disappear and return about
every three days to be fed. The
ground hog is now full grown and
refuses to have anything to do with
Mr.. Morrison, who put him in the
cage on the day he saw his shadow.

sent to him through the usual chan.
nels, 80 that he will receive official

The Fiscal Court.

The County Fiscal Court met Tues
day and has since been holding daily
sessions.
The first two days were taken up
with reports and hearing grievances
of various kinds. The usual large
number of applications for exemp-
tons from the payment of poll taxes
were presented and in twelve or ff-
teen instances the parties were re-
leased from taxation. There should
be line drawn somewhere in this
sort OF business and it should be
drawn at able-bodied men.
Yesterday the road question was
up for consideration. The Court de-
cided to continue the present system
for another year.
Esq. Barker moved that one super
visor instead Of two be elected, but
this was voted down and on motion of
Esq. Parker the county was again di-
vided into two districts with two SUI
pervisors at $500 each, to be in active
service from April | TO Oct. |. and
subject to orders during the other
months.
While waiting for some records
the Court made appropriations of
$40 each for two epileptics, to buy
medicine.
The election of supervisors was
then gone into and on the first bal
lot Mr.. John NJ. Dulin was re.elect-
ed for the northern district.
After dinner the second supervisor
was elected and Mr.. Herbert Dill
man was the successful applicant
out of a dozen or more.
The Court went out yesterday
afternoon in body to see a new
road machine at work near the city.
The workhouse matter has not
yet been taken up.

state Convention Call,

Chairman Long has called meet
ing of the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee for April 22nd, at the
Gait House. They will name a day
for the State Convention, at which
delegates will be chosen for the Ma
tional Convention, to be held in Chi
cago, July 7th. 1t is probable that
tn. Convention will be called early in
May, and as the Derby is run on the
9th Of that month, this would be
very convenient time to assemble the
unterrified.
The probable candidacy of Secre-
tary Carlisle has complicated the sit
uation in this State. Mr.. Carlisle out
of the way, the free-silver men would
carry the Convention by storm. The
presence of Kentucky candidate in
the field for the presidency, however,
would encourage the gold-standard
men to greater effort, and many of
the free silver men would refuse to
oppose Carlisle through State
pride. If, however, Mr.. Carlisle
comes into Kentucky and makes a
number of speeches before the Con-
vention, as it is said he will do, all the
old feeling will be stirred up, and he
will have divided delegation at Chi
cago. In fact, it will take very good
management to secure him the vote
of Kentucky in the National Conven-
tion.-Louisville Critic.

were married at $3.50 o'clock this af.
ternoon at st. Thomas church. There
were many distinguished guests. Mrs.
Mckee and Russell Harrison, Gen.
Harrison's children, were not present,
having refused to attend. They hold
nothing against Mrs. Dimmick, it is
said, but cannot bear the idea OF any
woman taking the place OF their
mother.
The bride received many valuable
presents. The principal gift from
Gen. Harrison to Mrs. Dimmick is a
neck ace made of seven rows OF
pearls. The necklace is fifty five
inches long and has diamond clasps.

held up the filling out of the register
blank, though when cornered he ad-
mitted that the license had been is

genial one and after several years
