AN INTERESTING CONTEST

AS a general rule neither the
Democrats or Republicans enjoy
a disturbance in the political
household, yet, occasionally
things develop in the way of
of family quarrels that are
amusing to the most conservative
members Of the two parties, and
lust now one. of the most in
teresting Of these is on tap, over
the postmastership at this place.
The two applicants are John W.
Shell and Geo. W, Mclean, but
the fight is between Shell and
John II. Wilkes. Both parties
are booted and spurred and each
stands ready to un-horse his an
tagonist upon the slightest devil
alton from the long practiced
tactics of the Republican knights.
The most interesting part OF the
whole thing is that Uncle John,
as the Democratic boys usually
call him, who for q number OF
wears has been to the Republican
party in Sharp county, what
Powell Clayton has been to It in
the state, is now having to sit up
i,te at nieht and conlure up new
devices in order to meet his act
i've opponent, when he could
down the Democrats and still
make o full hand in the crop and
take his meals regularly.

In the Tolls.

William St. Clair, young barber
from Huntsville, Ala, came to CO.
lumbia about three weeks ago, and
was employed at the barber shop of
Shuneman & Tiller. While here he
went under the assumed name of
William Tuck; he dressed nicely
conducted himself in a gentlemanly
manner, and was thought by his en-
ployers and Others to be an upright,
honest young man.
Last Tuesday morning, however,
upon information received from the
police authorities at Huntsville, he
was taken into custody by City Mar
shall Latta and officers Roberts and
Friel and placed in jail at this place.
Tuesday evening the sheriff of Madj
son county, Ala, arrived and re-
turned with him to Huntsville.
The charges against st. Clair are
obtaining money under false preten-
SEES and stealing coat, vest
and overcoat and a diamond ring.
In the first charge it is stated thai
he made out checks against bank
in which he had no money, signing
his own name to the checks, and
then got them cashed by variou:
parties and left town. He plead:
guilty to some of the charges against
him, and says he knows he had done
wrong but that his intentions were
right. He says he will make mat.
ters all right and return to Column
bia in few days.

A Bad Wreck.

A north bound freight train was
badly wrecked on the l.. ~ n. roa d q,
between Goodwin and Dark S Mill,
last Saturday morning about 5
o'clock. The train broke in two,
and the engine with six cars at
tached ran several miles be fore the
fact was known. When the engineer
saw that he had left part of his train
behind, he stopped his engine and
started back. The crew on the rear
part Of the train, not aware that
they had broken loose, made no at
tempt to stop the cars, and We're
running az the rate Of about twenty
miles an hour when the front sec
ton, which was running at the rate
of ten or twelve miles an hour, came
in sight. The two sections came to-
gether with a terrific force, and
about twenty-siX cars were more or
less damaged, some of them being
completely demolished.

dence of his daughter, Mrs. Ellen
Morrow, corner fifth and Jefferson
streets. He was one of Paducah' S
oldest and most highly respected
citizens, being in his eighty-fourth
year and having lived here for
twenty-seven years. For probity
of character, honesty of purpose and
Christian department in all the
walks Of life his example is one for
