osEYEo THE JUDGE.
Got His Man and Brought Him q
Town.


Town.
Among the wills that were probated
the other day was that of negro black
smith named Austin Thompson, whose
shop was on Sycamore street. There is
story connected with this mans name
that is worth telling, says the Lexington
(Ky.) Herald.
Just after the war old Benjamin F.
Graves was county judge. He was an
eccentric man, very peculiar in many
ways, very honest and very positive.
He ruled with strong hand. One day
Austin Thompson, who lived in the
county, was brought before him
charged with hog stealing. The meat
was found upon his premises, but he
had made no effort at concealment.
He acknowledged having the hog and
killing it, but insisted that he bought
the hog from another negro, who rep
resented it as his own. Judge Graves
inquired if he could "bring that other
nigger into court" He was answered
somewhat doubtfully. The old Judge
then answered to Austin that he must
bring that other nigger in, dead or
alive"
A day or two afterward Austin drove
up with cart to the judges Office, and
entering informed his honor that he
had his man.
Bring him in," said the judge. y
81 can't" said Austin; she's dead"
He had followed the old judges in
structions to the letter. The other
negro refused to accompany Austin to
town, and so Austin killed him.
OF course it caused an immense sem
sation in the community, and there
was talk of impeaching the judge and
of hanging Austin. But nothing after
all was done about 1t, and the matter
was allowed to drop.

The Oregon and Iowa Royalty Re
ceived at Callao.
NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-The Herald's
correspondent at Callao telegraph:
that the arrival of the United States
battleships Oregon and Iowa at that
port has caused the greatest excite.
ment and enthusiasm. They entered
the harbor at Z O'Clock in the morning,
and great crowds went out to see them
during the day.
Delegations representing the Cuban
residents of Peru went to Callao to
meet the warships. They presented
to each a gold plate. With the name
changed, each bore the inscriptions:
"All honor to the commander, the
officers and the crew of the United
States warship Oregon, victorious in
the naval con, bat off Santiago de Cuba
on the Sd day of July, 1898. This plate
is given as testimonial of the pa
triotic gratitude of all Cuban citizens

Dewey asks for Men to man His Thre,
Captured Vessels.
NEW YORK, Dec. PA special t'
the Herald from Washington says:
cablegram has been received at the
navy department. from Rear Admiral
Dewey asking for the immediate dis
patch of officers and men for service
on the three captured Spanish vessels
which are to be refitted and added to
his fleet.
Owing to the mastering out of vol.
unteer officers, the department will
find it rather difficult to comply with
the request. Captain Crowinshield,
however, is doing the best he can to
provide the officers and men desired,
and arrangements are now being made
to send transport with them through
the Suez canal.
Department authorities are anxious
to commission the naval cadets who
are now undergoing course of sea
duty preliminary to final graduation.
But this cannot be done legally unless
congress passes the, pending naval
bill. There is provision in this bill
which expressly opens the way for the
immediate assignment Mt of these cadets
to duty as officers.

A CHRISTMAS
GIFT FOR DEWEY
He Will Become the
Ranking Officer Of
the Navy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The Press
says: On Christmas day Rear-Admir.
al Dewey will become the ranking
officer in active service of the United
States navy. Rear-Admiral Bunce,
commandant of the navy, now holds
that place, but as he has reached the
age limit, he will, while still remain
ing commandant of the yard until his
successor there is appointed, be otflci-
ally retired.
When the order from Washington
reached Rear-Admiral Bunce that he
continue in command in the yard until
relieved by the appointment of his
successor, it created great deal of
gossip in the Navy-Yard Club aud
among the officers on the ship.

THIS IS CORN.
So Thick That IL Trapped Even .
Hungry Coon WA

Hungry Coon. M
The Little Rock Democrat is the au-
thority for the kind of corn lands they
have in that particularly blessed region.
1t says: Eight or ten years or 80 ago
there was lake near Morrilton cover
ing about 10000 acres. When the big
floods came two years ago, an opening
was made by the surging waters which
carried CT all the water Of this lake
when the floods subsidized. The bed Of
the lake dried up and left the richest
soil the world ever saw. 1t is ten feet
deep, and nothing the River Nile ever
produced could excelit. This year Mills
& HALEY have crop of corn ON about
1000 acres of this land. They sowed
the corn broadcast like wheat, and the
stalks are as strong as saplings. and
scores of Shoots" are also loaded down.
"It is the most remarkable corn crop
ever produced in the world" declared
Prof. Cox. and, to make the story even
more interesting, he ended it by de-
claring that ''coon" was caught be-
tween the stalks, and, being unable to
extricate itself because they were so
thick, was killed by those who came
upon it. 3f

TWO KEEP DEWEY In SERVICE,

l.
Congress Will Be ASKED to Keep the Ad-
miral on the Active List.
NEW YORK. Dec. ga Herald
special from Washington says: Unless
congress should pass law authorizing
him to remain on the active list, Rear
Admiral Dewey will be placed on the
retired list on December 26, 1899. Only
one other retirement will oecur. next
year, that of Commodore Il. L. Howis-
son, now commandanJ of the Boston
navy.yard. There is strong senti-
ment in naval circles in favor of the
passage of law which will permit the
retention of Admiral Dewey upon the
active list for IL years. as was done in
the case of heroes of the civil war.
Reports from Manila that Admiral
Dewey desires to return home are not
believed by department officials. their
advices from him indicating that he
desires to remain in the Philippines.
1t is not expected here that ne will
be detached from command of the
Asiastic station until just in time to
reach the United States on the eve of
his retirement.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga dispatch to

Archbishop Ireland will represent the
United States at the czar's peace con-
gress. The president has had the
subject under advisement for several
weeks, and according to the best au-
thority it may be said the decision was
recently reached, the archbishop hav.
ing agreed to accept this appointment
Eyer since his induction into office
the president has been anxious to
testify his appreciation of Ireland's
republicanism, which took the form of
strong interviews and speeches during
the campaign of 1896, and of his men
tai gifts and learning. The czar's call
for an international peace congress at
which his proposal for universal disar-
mament is to be discussed, has pre-
sented an exceptional opportunity to
honor Ireland in an illustrious manner.
AS the representative OF the United
States in such assemblage his position
would comport with the dignity of his
ecclesiastical Office, while not interfer-
ing with its duties. owing to the tenn.
porary character of the political ap.
pointment.
