ARGUMENT FINISHED.

Ex-Judge Jessup finished his argu-
ments for new trial in the Won Storch
case yesterday morning and for nearly
three hours Major Warren followed
with arguments against the disturb
ing of the verdict, going over the evil
dence in detail to show that the ver-
dict was in perfect consonance with 1t.
The only other matter in argument
court was the discharging of the rule
quashing the appeals from the assess
ment for grading LuZerne street.

stances it is difficult to assign a reason
for the desire to terminate his earthly
career and brave the great unknown.
His melancholy disposition, together
with the fact that his health at times
was not good, probably furnishes the
most reasonable theory for the suicide.
The remains were inferred in the Gale
dOnia cemetery Sunday. TO the be-
reaved aud stricken grandfather and
other relatives the REGISTER extends
assurance of sincere sympathy.
From all reports the Conductors are
having a grand old time at their con-
vention in California. While in Col
ton, that State, it seems the Iron
Mountain boys ran across VIM. A.
Tetwiler, who was for many, many
years an employe of the REGISTER
Mr.. Tetwiler is now employed on the
Cotton NeWS. Following is what he
has to say of the visit of the Conduc-
tors to that town: "a Ne1CS scribe
was suddenly aroused from his slum-
bers shortly after A. NJ. by an I'M
usual cOmmotiOn on the streets. On
approaching the window nearest him
he was astonished to see the town
overrun with strangers, both sexes be-
ing represented. He also noticed ten
Pullman sleepers on the Southern Pa
cific tracks. 1t was quite evident that
party of excursionists were taking
advantage of a stop here to enjoy the
freedom of the town while but few of
its inhabitants were yet out OF their
beds. The strangers took particular
delight in helping themselves to the
beautiful roses everywhere near at
hand. In some instances. however.
permission was obtained of the own
ers, who assisted them in gathering
bouquets. The scribe, having hastily
attired himself in his most becoming
suit, was just stepping outside when
he was approached by couple of gen.
tlemen, who asked him to direct them
to a restaurant. Upon being ques-
toned, the gentlemen stated that they
were members of a party of 500 excur-
siOnists from the East-railway con-
ductors and their families-on their
way to Los Angeles to attend the o. r.
C. convention held in that city this
week. ANY conductors from Missouri
yes; lot of EN- replied one of the
gentlemen. IN bet.' said the scribe
to himself, as be made rapid strides in
the direction of the train, MIR. Sam
Andrews is among Them and he was
not surprised at seeing the conductor
so well known from St. Louis to Texas
standing with several other gentlemen
near the depot. After hearty hand
shake, Mr.. Andrews led the scribe to
the car occupied by the Missourians,
among whom were Messrs. Webb and
Young, well-known conductors on the
st. Louis and Iron Mountain road
The scribe also met and conversed with
Mrs. Andrews, the wife of genial Sam.
She gave him some pleasant news con-
corning friends at his old home It is
too bad that the fog was so dense that
morning. The excursionists were un-
able to see the beauties of this valley
because of its being so deeply yelled.
The train remained in Cotton about
an hour"

GERMANTOWN.

The farmers are about done planting
corn. We have had fine rains in the
last few days with some very cool
weather in the lap of spring, in
the distance we see the tops of the
large mountains are full of snow; hope
that vegetation is not injured by frost,
for everything is growing very nicely.
They had considerable excitement over
the election last week as to who should
be the candidates to fill out the unex.
pired term that was vacated by j. G.
Robertson, deceased. Finally they
settled on E. d. Brabson, Democrat,
and James A. Bailey, Republican; the
election was held last Saturday and
Mr.. Brabson got the pie by nineteen
majority; both are nice sober men.
such men as we need for magistrates.
There is not much pay in this office,
yet 1t 10 a very important office to the
county and the people. There always
is a great deal at stake in our county
affairs for there always is more or less
appropriations asked for and there are
matters that should be we'll considered
by the magistrates. Now here is an.
other question to call the minds of the
people to-a new constitution for the
State of Tennessee; it might do to make
a change to curtail expenses then again
it will be considerable expense to have
a convention, and again it may be
best to make some change in regard to
our taxes, so that capitalists might be
induced to invest in this State, for
there is considerable wealth laying idle
that might be utilized to an advantage
but as long as we just drag along there
never will be anything accomplished.
Tennesseans should wake up to their
interests, to make every induce ment to
have capitalists invest in this State,
by having good roads to every import
ant point in the county, then people of
other States would be induced to locate
in our borders to help make this a
good country, if we will do our part.
So says UNCLE BEN.

EIGHTH DISTRICT.

The most of the farmers are done
planting corn and are ready to com.
mence blowing for the millet crop.
Wheat is looking we'll, and points to
more than An average yield. Fears
are entertained that the present chilly
weather will kill the remaining part Of
the fruit crop. Miss Hattie Miller, one
of Knob Creeks most charming young
ladies, was visiting at James NJ. Mil.

words in regard to the Magistrates of
the Ninth Civil District. 1t occurs to
an outsider that they try to act the
dog in the mangerN racket, from the
fact that any proposition with an ap.
preparation attached to it that docs not
directly benefit said district, 10 bitterly
opposed by them, and every effort
within their power is made to defeat it.
1t seems to us that considerable terri.
tory of Washington County is not in.
duced in the Ninth and is entitled to
some consideration, as we are all tax
payers alike. The people of this county
are getting their eyes open and a spirit
OF internal improvement is existing
among the masses; they see the neces
sity Of good roads and bridges, and are
determined to have them as fast as
they can be constructed without bur.
taxation, regardless of what
a Few magistrates may say or do. All
our people will be treated with equal
justice by and by and all portions of
the county receive their just dues. 1t
costs time and money to construct
roads aud bridges, and all sections car
not be accommodated at one time. Our
County Court deserves and is receiving
the thanks of the general public for
making improvements first where they
are most needed and will accommodate
the greatest number. These observa.
tons are not intended as any i'll will
towards any one. All soured and dis,
gruntled parties should fall iuto line
and assist in getting our county out of
the old ruts, especially If they want
anything done for their section any
ways soon. 1t is not natural for one
party to assist another when they do
