To this the Governor replied: "Mr.

Kelley was present. He stepped
up and said that he had heard the
rumor. He had not heard Mr.. Bron-
ston make such statement.
The information given to the Gov

which was as follows.

l Tobacconist Of High Repute.

There is no one in the tobacco trade
of Virginia, In any market, who takes
more pride and interest in the tobacco
business than Mr.. 8. p. Carr, of our
city. Tobacco dealing is his living
and delight. He is q scholar always
finding something more to be learned.
Communicative himself. b@begets and
teaches knowledge of the weed. 1t is
no wonder that he is the Important
link that binds the dealer and planter
of the Western Burley with tbe~Vir-

products his specially, he concentrates
his mind on their every status and
movement and draws conclusions well
worthy of more than a patient hear

stances are tobacconists, others by
nature, preference and disinterest

LOCATED
BY THE CATHODE RAYS.
A Scissors Blade Removed From
a woman's Hand.
Where it Had Been For Twelve
Years.

Baltimore, March II. The firsl
surgical operation using the X-rays a.
the Johns Hopkins Hospital was per-
formed by DIR. Finney this morning
1t was the extraction of scissors
blade from a woman's hand, where il
had been imbedded for II years. The
location and position of the substance
were revealed by photograph taken
with the X-rays.
Mrs. Williams, the patient, did not
know what it was that caused her the
intense pain in her hand until the sur
geon had produced what the X-rays
had revealed. Then she recalled that
she had been attacked by another
woman about II years ago. Her as.
sailant rushed at her with pair OF
scissors, and she threw up her hands
for defense. The scissors pierced her
left hand. After short time it
healed apparently, but continued to
give pain when compressed. Prof {.
Rowland gave directions 70 have the
hand photographed with the X-rays.
The woman sat down at the table
and stretched her left hand out fiat,
with the palm down, on the ordinary
Photographic plate. Above it a short
distance was the Crookes tube
through which the electric current
was passing. She was kept sitting
there twenty-five minutes.
When the plate was developed a
clear outline was obtained of the bones
of the hand, and the broken point of
3 scissors blade was also distinctly
shown It was apparently sticking in
the bone, and was over a half an iuch
III length.
Mrs. Williams stood the experiment
pretty well, but was evidently scared
by the apparatus and the swapping OF
the electric current. When the cleo
tricity began to decompose the air
aud manufacture ozone she shifted 1t
and said: "Umph it smells like gaso-
line, doesn't it?"

from Lexington tonight that the
militia had been called out. What is
there in it? Your friend,
ID. ELLIOTT KELLY.
The Governor later directed Kelly
to arm himself with pistol, saying
that he might be attacked. Kelly did
so.
Mr.. Bronston replied: 81 denounce
the statement that made the remark
attributed to me about yonr being ar
rested, or that any agreement had
been made to that end as false and un-
true.
81 will say, though, that gentle
man did say to me tonight that he
had examined the statutes on the SUBJ
ject, and that in his opinion you could
be tried for menace to the Senate.
Now, Governor, / understand you

troops without any request from the

Small crowd in town. The day
was miserable one. Snow and mud
made it exceedingly disagreeable to
get around. There were only about
500 cattle on the market-no good
feeders. Light feeders sold at 81
cents. One good bunch of yearling-
brought 4 cents. But few mules on
the market. Several buyers, but
prices were off SIS to $40 from last

hands. Joel Fesler sold a couple OF

The Citizens League of New Orleans

This political association appears tC
be almost an enigma. 1t was formed
for certain declared purposes, and sue.
cessfully combatted the regular organ
izatiOn of tho so-caIled Democratic
party of New Orleans. Since its elected
representatives have been in authority
it seems to distant observer, to have
slOshed about, and the effect is to leave
the public mind in perpetual doubt as
to what it will do on any question OF
general Importance. 1t (we mean the
Organization) was snubbed, yea! ia
boOed by Foster when he thought il
powerless to thwart his designs. The
result showed it to be potent, and then
began u system of coquetry, that the
League appears to have been pleased
with and for consistency's sake, saying
it "would meier CONSENT" consented.
So that now Foster fosters it as we'll as
those who blindiy followed and sup
ported its coiors in The campaign.
Protesting TO desire reform above all
things, the League now willingly con
sents to circumscribe the area OF its
reforms to the Crescent City, but
chimes in with the Mulligan Gnards OF
the crippled old party who make nc
professions Of reform for the country
1t would seem that if reform be- de-
sirable in one place, it is equally so in
others where the same evils exist
If they do not exist over all the State
we are egregiously misinformed.

Several accounts against the town
were approved in fact, all that were
| outstanding and that had been pre-
sented.
A very necessary ordinance was
PASSED, prohibiting bcycIers from
ilding on the sidewalks, requiring them
70 show lights at night--to obey
the law of the road in going to the right
when meeting or passing other vehicles.
ETC., and to blow their whistle when
nearing a crossing. The penalty for
violating either provision is not less
than $3.50, nor more than $40. The or
dInance takes immediate effect. The or
d1nance was q necessity, and therefore
good one, and it is to be hoped il NAV
be rigidly enforced.
The question of water works and
electric lights was discussed to some
extent, and it may be set down as "a fact
that as soon as the preliminary steps
can be taken. (and they will be) the
good work will be entered upon.
We now hope for change, and such
an one as will make our town the most
beautiful of the State.
We wish to see St. Landry take lib
eral share in these great works. With
the large and beautiful oaks that adorn
the public square, two or three arck-
lights would give it an appearace of en-
chantment, and serve to prevent much
of the vice and indecency that are hid
den from the view by the Cimmerian
darkness of the moouless nights. under
the deep shades of the clustering oaks.
We entreat our townfoiks to give a
helping and ready hand to the speedy
completion of these essential works.

seven or eight of the parishes of the dis
