Its industrial institutions have been sup

THE DIRECTORS RESPONSIBLE
Capt. Smith VIII Have Nothing to do
With New Penitentiary Officers.

Capt. John Smith, superintendent of
the penitentiary, has put his directors in
somewhat of hole in the matter of turn
ing out experienced men and putting in
new ones. AS it was done against his
wishes, just at a most important time
harvesting the crOp-Capt. Smith refused
to make any nominations of new officers,
as was his duty, and as is the usual GUS
tom. Nor would he issue commissions to
the men after they were elected by the
board. This will have to be done by the
clerk to the board, a very unusual pro-
ceeding all around.
In explanation of his action Capt. Smith
explained that he did not expect the new
arrangement to be successful; that it
would work to the detriment of the peni-
Tertiary; and as it was done in opposi-
tion to his advice, he proposes to assume
no responsibility for it.
The finance committee, composed of
one Democrat, one POpulist and one Re
publican, has been, am told, done away
with. There is, therefore, now nobody
to pass upon the correctness of vouchers
and accounts. / am told though, that
this step was taken in order to change the
personnel of the committee, and that at
the next meeting either another commit
tee will be appointed or some other ar
rangement be made for having accounts
examined. Chairman DOckery said just
before going home the other day that the
finance committee had been a failure,
whatever that may mean.
If reports be true there is certainly
lOl n
pass upon accounts and vouchers.

MAKING A BIG MESS OF 1T.

OF all the shabby pieces of work seen
in a long time the paving in Capitol
square up to date takes the cake The
curves on the edges of the walks, as laid
in brick yesterday, are something fear
fully and wonderfully made, Astounding
in curves and ANGLES such as no mathe-
matician has ever known. Gov. Russell is
opposed to injunctions, but he certainly
ought to get out an injunction against
the man who is experimenting that job
and have him enjoined from forever
hereafter attempting to pave a walk.
Better never pave the walks than have ii
done in such style as it is being done.
