brought suit against Thomas L. West and Mar
garet Il. West, administrators on the estate OF
G.orye J. West to recover 5000 for an al
legged breach of contract on tho part or the

The case in which George J. West was en-
gagged by Hamilton was that of state vs.. Luigi

ruary from her home in the north end of the
city 10 his room in one of the blocks owned
by Hamilton The girls mother missed her,
and for week the mother dld everything
possible 20 find her child.
Carboni knew the child's mother and he
nrotended TO be very earnest in his efforts to
find the missing one, although all the time
she was he'd prisoner in his rooms. The
cries of the girl attracted neighbors and they
informed the police of the Second station OF
what they had heard.
The result was the arrest OF Carboni on the
cl arge above-namod and his indictment.
Hamilton interested himself in the case, and
he claims he paid Mr.. West $500 and the lat
ter agreed TO have Carboni cleared, 80 Hamil-
ton claims.
After Carboni pleaded nolo contendere nm
effort was made TO have the girl he had held
prisoner and himself married. The Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children OBJ
jected and threw its influence against the
union.
After the death of Mr.. West Carboni was,
on October 25, sentenced to five years in the
state prison.

Prof. Barnard's machine is neces-

He has successfully applied a prin-

this improvement is certain to follow.
That the invention has been made

public demonstration of it's success
was made at the Tennessee Centen-

CRIME AND SCANDAL.

Horrible Condition of Affairs in the Peni-
Tertiary officials who Ought to be Con-
victs--The Democratic Senate Turns
On the Light.

Frankfort, May 6.-The senate
prison investigating committee ex-
aiming the prison steal held a ses-
sion this afternoon and heard some
OF the most sensational testimony ever
told in Kentucky about inhuman
treatment of prisoners, brutality of
officers and other things. This is al
most too revolving to be believed.
John Doe, two year convict from
CovingtoD, was released yesterday.
He said he was not mistreated, but
that he gives testimony in the in
terest Of humanity. He told of
dozens Of cases of brutal fogging of
men, women and chlldren;of the rack,
thumb stall, dungeon, suffocation, etc..
giving names, dates and every detail
and charged that one woman hung
up by the thumbs while enciente,
died from the effects of the punish
ment.
Warden Hancock is out of the city
and will be given an opportunity to
refute the story of almost inhuman
cruelties when the witnesses against
him have all been heard.
The most sensational witness after
Doe, was President Albin, of the
Louisville Albin company, a turned
down bidder, when the prison chair
contract was let to A. d. Martin and
others, of Chicago and Cincinnati.
The most startling charge made by
Albin was that Attorney General Tay-
lor had become the attorney for A. d.
Martin, individually and for the con-
tractors as a firm, while at the same
time beinga member of the prison
board and attorney for the state.
The attorney general has gone to
Washington and the warden is away

committee will continue in session
until all are given an opportunity to

wHITsITT RETRACTs.
Admits That the ObjectionaI Statement
About Baptism Was Mistake.


Wilmington, N. c., May THE
Southern Baptist Convention began
its annual session in this city to-day,
the President, Hon. Jonathan Haral-
son, of Alabama, presiding. Seven
hundred and twenty one delegates
are present. Mr.. HARRISON was re.
nominated for election to the Office of
President and the present Secretaries,
Dr. Lansing Burrows, of Atlanta, and
DR.. 0. F. Gregory, of Baltimore, were
reelected for the ensuing year.
AT the afternoon session the Whit
slit controversy, which has excited so
much interest among the Baptists of
the country, came up. Rev. DR..
Whitsitt, President of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary at
Louisville, wrote several editorials for
the Independent. in which he took
the position that prior to 164I the rite
OF baptism among the Baptists was
performed by sprinkling. This start
ed controversy, which, it is feared,

ing the sessions of the convention.
Apparently, however, the question
has been peacefully settled by the &C
ton of the convention to-day. The
trustees Of the seminary submitted to
the convention letter written by DR..
Whitsitt, outlining the doctrinal stand
taken by the school, which was in
dorsed by the trustees.
DR., Whitsitt candidly admitted
that he made mistake and expressed
a willingness to do all he could to
rectify it.
The discussion of the letter was the
signal for an outburst of feeling. The
congregation sang song after song,
while Dr. Whitsitt was overwhelmed
with handshaking and embraces.

Important Change to be Made.

The changes in the schedule of the
L. & N. road have been practically
agreed on, though there may be some
slight deviation from the figures given.
The time card will go into effect May
l6. The through train from Chicago
will pass here earlier and will carry
the mail. The local business will then
be done by later train which will
pass here about o'clock p. m. The
accommodation will probably leave
about $50 a. M, reaching Nashville
for breakfast. Returning this train
will reach here about 1880 p. m. Good
connections will be made at Guthrie
for both Louisville aud Memphis
trains.
The Chicago accommodation will
leave Chicago at 1880 o'clock in the
evening aud will arrive in Nashville
at about the same time as at present.
Trains from the South into Nash
vile will be run on the present
schedule.
The aim of the l.. g. N. will be to
provide the best service to Nashville
of fast schedules. As soon
as the new time card is out it will be
published in the KENTUcKIAN.
1t is believed that by these changes
travel to Nashville and the attendance
at the Centennial will be greatly in.

Whereas, That inasmuch as it has

air OF the great State of Arkansas,
carrying freight and passengers, aud
inasmuch as said airship is plying it's
vocation without paying taxes to the
State of Arkansas; therefore be it.

Currents of Air.

currents or AIT.
Washington, May S.-A great deal
of interest has been manifested
among scientific men here in Prof.
Barnard's airship. PARTICULARLY has
the ship and the general subject of
airships been discussed at the Smith
sonian Institution, The general idea
there is that the Barnard machine is
not distinct advance in the line of
experiment and the invention of air
ships proper
The critics have only the news
paper accounts 10 judge by and are
therefore inclined to be conservative
in their Judgments. trof. Langley,
Secretary of the National Museum,
who has made study of aerial navi-
cation said that balloons have been
made in cigar shape for fifteen or
twenty years, and have been naviga-
ted with some degree Of success by
inventors from time to time.
Prof. Langley said that these bal
loon machines are radically different
from the aerodrome, which is propell-
ed through the air without sustaining
power of its own.
The other type for the balloon per-
forms its flight by being lighter in
weight than the air, but up to this
time it has been possibly only to OBJ
tain propelling power sufficient to
drive them few miles an hour
against a wind. 1t is assumed that if
Prof Barnald's balloon attained a
greater speed than that, it is due to
the fact that in the upper regions of
the atmosphere it encountered cur
rent of air and moved with it.
