Strange Fish Phenomenon.

A rather curious phenomena of the
recent hard rains have been reported
in this community. A we'll on James
Little's farm has been ejecting fish
ever since the high waters. The we'll
was an old unused one and generally
went dry in the summer. 1t burst
forth a few days ago and has been a
regular artisan ever since. About FIVE
hundred fish, measuring all the way
from three to nine inches, have been
taken out of the creek, and parties say
that they have been seen coming out
of the WELL
A spring burst forth from the side of
Cherokee Mountain about nine miles
from here and a large stream has been
flowing from it ever since. Hundreds
of white suckers came out with the
water from some underground lake or
river.

Hon. James A. Harris of this county
has been reelected Comptroller for the
state of Tennessee. This is great victo-

of the most obstinatemachine kind. He
has made one of the best comptrollers

tion was bitter Notwithstanding. The
COMET is pleased with Mr.. Harris and
his selection will be endorsed by the
people generally. He had no opposi-

The committee of inspection reported
that the slow posts recently put up on
the Southern to prevent the cars from
entering the depot at high speed, were
satisfactory. The report was adopted.
The recorders report for last month
was as follows:
Total receipts ............. S3,141. 66
Total disbursements. ...... 1889. 38
Mayor Faw in his report recommends
an increase in the appropriations in
order to carry the budget till the first
of May, making the full fiscal year.
When this board came in it found no
money for the appropriation for the
month of April. The fiscal year began
then the LIST of May, but the board
went in on the LIST of April and made it's
budget for twelve months, or up to the
1st of this May. Now, it became neces-
sary to provide for May by special
appropriation. This will not occur
again as the ending fiscal year will be
the list of December. He introduced
an ordinance to cover the increase re-
quired. 1t placed the appropriations as
follows:
For lights from. ... SO, 600 to 81, S48. SO
For water from ...,....$1, 800 to 81, zoo
For sanitary from ......".$585 to $685.
The ordinance passed its second read
ing.
The sinking fund commissioners
made their reports which were satisfac.
tary to the board, and being received
were placed on record.
Mayor Faw supplemented his report
on the sinking fund commission made
at a previous meeting.

PEARL BRYAN AVENGED.
Her Murderers, Jackson and Walling Meet
Death at Newport, Ky,

Death at Newport, Ky.
Newport, KY, March 90. Scott Jack
son and Alonzo Walling were hanged
today for the murder of Pearl Bryan
on January 81, 1896. Although the two
men were hanged simultaneously from
a double trap that fell ON pulling the
SEINE lever, there were no special in
stances at the gallows. The scenes
were those that ordinarily take place on
such occasions. Both men were cool
and nervy to the last aud they died pro-
testing their innocence and declaring
that their confessions were false and
made for effect on the governor.
The morning hours preceding the ex-
ecution were, however, full of exciting
scenes. The plan to gain time fer Jack
son and possibly respite for Walling
was worked from early morning until
the men started for the gallows. In the
morning Jackson made another, confess
sion, in which he said Walling was not
guilty of murder and Gov. Bradley was
autographed accordingly.
When it was announced that Gov.
Bradley had ordered the execution of
both men to proceed and that no inter
ference Whatever, there were continued
shouts of approval The scatfold was
in the court yard where it could be seen
by many thousands of people from the
surrounding buildings and there was q
great demonstration when the flag was
hoisted as signal that the execution
was over. These signals were also
hoisted in Cincinnati and Covington,
where there was as much excitement
as here over the false reports about
Walling being respited for four days.
Quite large party of the friends of
the Bryan family were present from
Greencastle, Ind, and they were very
much exercised over the suspense of the
| forenoon.
After the death warrant was read, al
1882 both declared their innocence.
The crowds cheered loudly when the
signal of the black flag went up.
The prisoners both stood with bowed
heads saying the prayer. Walling's
eyes were closed in prayer. Jackson's
open. When Mr.. Lee finished the
prayer Jackson bid farewell. Walling
also bid farewell. WalIing whispered
go, go, CO."
Both men swung in mid-air in agony.
they died in great agony. Both wer'
evidently strangled and the necks wer,
not broken, as the struggling was mucl
more than usual. The men were nerv,
up to the drop.
Jackson raised his feet and droppe,
dead. Walling drew up his feet and hi
body contracted several times III grea
agony. Physicians pronounced bot
dead and the announcement was made
but the crowds still fingered about tn
Jail.
Jackson was dead in six minutes
