The Chief Justice Relates tho Circum-
stances OF lis Fight
The case Of the state against s. J..
Snodgrasa. chief justice OF the state OF
Tennessee, Was called Friday morning
in the circuit court at Chattanooga.
The state announced ready for trial,
as did the defendant, asking, however,
a postponemeut on account of the abb
eenoe Of q material witness.
Judge snodgrass, who was in the
court room. made an affidavit Ia which
he made the first statement he has yet
made with reference 20 the episode In
which he shot John r. Beaaley. In
bis affidavit the chief justice says;
"Ihe meeting between the prosecu-
tor aud ailiant was purely accidental.
When they did meet defendant called
prosecutors attention TO recent lie
belous publication about defendant,
which the prosecutor had made, and
denounced as false, as he had the right
TO do. Hot words passed between the
defendant and the prosecutor, and q
difficulty ensued, in tho course Of
which the prosecutor made q demon
stration, as afiant honestly believed,
to draw a weapon with which 10 kill
afhant or do him great bodily harm,
aud aillant honestly believed that he
did intend to kill him or 90 him great
bodily injury.
"Aniant believed he was armed and
in the act Of drawing his weapon, and
upon such belief, honestly entertained
from the conduct and demeanor Of the
prosecutor, afiant drew his weapon
and fired two shots, one Of which took
effect in the arm Of the prosecutor.
As soon as affiant discovered that he
was probably in no further danger
from the prosecutor he Immediately
ceased to fire, and did not FIRE another
shot"
After hearing the affidavit Judge
Moon stated that he could not, under
the rules of the court, consent to n
postponement for longer than three or
four days, because he would call the
civil docket Monday or Tuesday, and
shat he would not consent TO call up
criminal business after he had dis
missed the iuries and wound up the
criminal business of the term.
He then ordered a continuance until
next term. This continuance carried
with it the case for carrying concealed
weapons, both cases going over to
next term. Judge Snodgrass was
very anxious for trial, but could moi
safely have it until he had secured the
testimony of witnesses now in New
York

General Harrison Announces His Ens
gagement TO Mrs. Dimmick.
Friday night General Benjamin
Harrison formally announced his en-
gagement to Mrs. Dimmick at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, New York. There
was a crowd of newspaper men and
others about the hotel shortly before
8 o'clock, when Secretary Tibbetts
appeared and handed them the follow
ing: General Harrison authorizes
the announcement that he and Mrs.
Dimmick are engaged to be married
and that the marriage will not take
place until after Lent"
Colonel Tibbetts refused to further
discuss the announcement and al
though the ex-president was upstairs
to his room at the time he denied him
self to all newspaper men. Colonel
Tibbetts said that General Harrison
would remain in the city until after
Sunday, when he would go to Indian
apolis and from there to Washington.
His Niece by Marriage.
Mrs. Dimmick's full name is Caro-
line Lord Dimmick. She is the daugh-
ter of the late Mrs. Lord, the eldest
sister of General Harrison's first wife.
She is the widow of naval officer.
After her husbands death she lived
for some time with her mother in
Pittsburg. Mrs. Lord died during the
time that General Harrison was presi-
dent.
Mrs. Harrison thereupon sent for
her favorite niece and namesake to
come to the white house, and made
the young widow her private secretary.
During Mrs. Harrison's illness, both
at the Adirondacks cottage and in the
white house, Mrs. Dimmiok was her
faithful and devoted nurse.

The Italians imported by Austin
Corbin to become land owners at Sun
nyside, Arkansas, are represented in
the New York Post to be superior in
morals and intelligence to the Italian
laborers with whom people in other
parts Of the country are more or less
familiar. They are reported to have
been carefully selected from very re-
spectacle and prosperous class. At
home they were small farmers, gar
deners and fruit growers, and the
methods Of farming and careful culti-
walton to which they have been accus-
toned are expected to be great aids
to them in their new surroundings.
They have strong religious inclina-
tions, and their first act after arriving
at their new home was to conduct re-
ligious exercises in thanks to God for
the kindness bestowed upon them.
They we're heartily welcomed at Sun
nyside, and at once announced theiI
intention to become citizens. Other
ship loads Of immigrants are expected
to follow this FIRST importation.

Don't Hear Everything.

The art Of not hearing should be learned
by all. There are so many things which
it is painful to hear, very many of which,
if heard, will disturb the temper, corrupt
simplicity and modesty, detract from con-
tentment and happiness. If man falls
into violent passion, and calls all manner
of names, at the first words we should shut
our ears and hear no more If in quiet
voyage of life we find ourselves caught in
one of those domestic whirlwinds of scold-
ing, we should shut our ear as sailor
would furl his sail, and, making all tight,
scud before the gale If hot, restless
man begins to inhame our feelings, we
should consider what mischief the fiery
sparks may do in our magazine below,
where our temper is kept, and instantly
close the door. If all the petty things
said of one by needless or i'll natured idlers
were brought home to him, he would be-
come mere walking pincushion stuck full
of sharp remarks. If we would be happy
when among good men, we should open
our ears; when among bad men, shut them
1t is not worth while to hear what our
neighbors say about our children, what our
rivals say about our business, our dress, or
our affairs.

New YORK, February 5, 1896.
Materials for Spring and Summer, like
those of the Winter, show predominance
of rough effects and unequal wearings
Crepons come forth in renewed prestige
and while retaining former features, become
attractive by reason of new colors and com
binations. Delightful fabrics having fine
cotton surfaces are chosen groundworks for
floral patterns in silk that rise with char
acteristic crinkle and the same unitings are
apparent in light quality woods New
ginghanls and other fancy cottons display
designs that stand out from the body of the
goods and such idea is repeated in ways too
varied for enumeration. Very frequently
however,
NEW PATTERNS
are in narrow stripes and it is safe to pre-
dict that they will predominant during the
approaching season. Plaids nevertheless
are conspicuous and often rendered most
attractive in consequence of rough additions
in black that veil the bright colored com
binations beneath them. But plaids are
intended for waists and as hitherto. will
be preferably worn with black skirts that
will show them off. Black skirts in gen
eral, will be extremely fashionable and as
a foregone conclusion it may be argued
that Independent waists may still be
reckoned as in the zenith of their popu-
larity.
NEW DESIGNS
for making up, show no marked variation
from what has been fashionable. Skirts
still hang plain and stifiy-corsages yet
remain the vantage ground for adornment
that in many examples attain the limit of
extravaganza, and it may readily be in
ferred that the large sleeve is still
in favor. Already leading dressmakers
are busted in filling southern orders;
one may see in their workrooms yards of
cotton fabrics, taffeta silks, ETC., and it
can be noticed that they use preferably

ing requires good thread 1t railways comes

fireside will thus be made cheerful at pres

are again in order, because skirts still stand
out stiffiy. Tafeta therefore is in great
demand and manufacturers of India silks
are in corresponding despair Beautiful
as may be their goods, the fashionable
world does not demand them and where
figured designs appear, they are close and
give body to the fabric Black satin is a
very frequent selection for skirts, not only
for day wear, but in the evening, where
a pale or bright colored corsage becomes
greatly enhanced by such an offset and the
prophecy is safe, that white satin skirts
will be in much demand for evening. For
black crepon skirts the same success will

No rose that ever June brought here
