He Will Go to the County Jail, In
stead of the State Prison.

At Agricultural Park last week a
negro named James Ragsdale was ar
rested for attempting to rob William
Lehman. He was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court yesterday morning, and at the
request of the City Attorney the orig

other charging the defendant with at
tempting to commit petty larceny was
substituted.
To the latter complaint Ragsdale,
through his attorney, entered a plea of
guilty, and will receive sentence this
morning.
As a reason for withdrawing the orig
inal charge, the City Attorney stated
that he understood Lehman was absent
from the city, and that to persist in the
former charge would necessitate an
other continuance IF Lehman was not
absent from the city, then he was not a
good citizen. but he understood that it
had been impossible for him to be pres

which some call treachery. The news
from Kentucky is not so assuring, ow-

the republicans will tail toelect sena-
tor, because they win then try to get re-
publican votes for Carlisle or some other
gold democrat, and the silver democrats
want them to fail because they believe
the Legislature can then be deadlockeG

lature are wise they will get together
and eject a senator.
