THREE HELD.-A large crowd was
attracted by the trials OF the McKin-
ney store breakers Friday and great in
terest was manifested owing TO the
prominence Of the families of some OF
the accused. When the case was call
ed in the morning, William Hughes
and Sheridan Davis, who were caught
in the act of robbing their store by
the Messrs. Tanner, waived examina-
ton and being unable To give 500 bail
were returned To Jail. The case OF
shannon Mckinney was called at |
o'clock. He was represented by Col.
WEIGH and the Commonwealth by Pax
ton, Varnon and McIioberts. f.. j.
Tanner testified that when he had Me-
Kinney arrested at Somerset he offered
him $40 and then so To drop the case,
saying that the latter amount would
cover all he ever got out of the store.
Other witnesses showed that they had
been given merchandise checks by Me-
Kinney, which proved to have been
Lurked. Both Hughes and Davis said
nmat they had been in the store twice or
more at night with Mckinney and that
aye got a several bushel sack full of
foods and a suit of clothes. Varney
n amer had been sent to Somerset with
/. warrant to search McKinney's trunk

, Hughes and Davis swore that Winter
Wright and the Negro, Henry Ander-
son, were with them on several occas-
ions when they broke into the store.
but as there was no corroborating evil
dence, or anything to connect them
with the crime, they were dismissed on
motion of the Commonwealth. Hughes
seems TO be a terrible example of the
Methodist doctrine. of total depravity.
Confessing to crime that will doubt

years, he loked and seemed utterly OBJ

Afford, whose appointment as sur
veyOr of the port at Louisville very
justly sent Congressman Caruth to pri-
vate life, has filed his application for
retention under the present admins
tration. The old noodle never was a
democrat and the further fact that he
wrote an alleged sound money cate
chism during the campaign is, he
thinks, sufficient to entitle him to rec
ognition. He will get bone, however,
for his trouble and put himself further
down If possible in decent estimation.

PEYTON.-Simeon Peyton, better
known as esquire" died at the home
of his sister, Mrs. w. Logan Williams,
at Hustonville, Friday, at A. NJ. He
had the grip several months ago and IL
developed into lung trouble, which
has for some time kept him lowering
between life and death. Eight of the
large family to which he belonged are
still living, but they are scattered from
Tennessee to Texas and but few Of
them were present at the burial. Squire
Peyton was quite a noted violinist and
was known by all the lovers of music
in this section. His talent for that in
strument developed at an early age and
il was through IL that he got his nick
name. An old darkey named Squire
Hooker lived near his fathers and
when he was a wee bit of boy he used
to run of from home and go to squire's
to hear him play the fiddle. This led
to his being called Squire" and the
name stuck to him through life. Mr..
Peyton was born with very defective
sight and for long time he has been
almost blind, but he managed to get
around and make his living. He was a
member of the Christian church for
years and kind hearted, clever man.

order was made requiring ID. L. Hall to
remove the wooden screen from his sa-
loon. The attorney and treasurer were
order ed to collect the taxes due from
hanks, under the recent decision of the
court of appeals. The question of tax
ing insurance companies was continued
till the 18th, when it is more than like
ly that the order will be rescinded,
since the council sees how heavily COM
panies can make 1t cut the other way.
