The ADVOCATE has a circulation
which meets the wants of an ad.
vertising trade. Our city list,
county list, and list from that part
Of counties contiguous to us and
from which we draw trade is not
only good, but extra good. No
paper in Kentucky meets the
wants Of her people better than
the ADVOCATE. 1t has been our
effort to work our circulation so as
to make it the very best advertis-
ing medium. That aim we have
accomplished. The firm that fails
to make its business known
through the ADVOCATE cuts short
its trade. We are after the live
business men for our patrons,
those who not only want success,
but who are determined to get
there. Such firms advertising
with us are imbued with our
spirit--the highest measure of sue
cess.

Tragic Death Of Ernest NC
Coun.

On last Tuesday at 1890 a. m,
telephone message was received
here announcing the death of
Ernest McCoun by pistol shot
from a weapon in his own hand,
at his home in Louisville. Men
who knew Mr.. McCoun were
startled and stood in almost speech
less amazement. His prospects
were bright and they knew Of
nothing to mar his happiness or
to cause him to resort to such an
act. His wife and two children
were here at the home Of her
father R. M. Burbridge where
they had been for the past two
weeks and when the sad news of
the suicide of her husband was
made known she was Frustrated
and for several hours was in an
unconscious state. AS soon as
she was able to travel Mrs. Nc
Coun with her children accom-
panied by her father mother and
sisters and others left for her home
in Louisville. Mr.. McCoun
was thirty-hve years old and was
happily welded to Miss Mamie
Burbridge of this city about five
years ago. They have two child
rem, -Thomss b. and Elizabeth
aged respectively three and one
years.
Mr.. McCoun was educated in
the law, and went to Louisville
from his home in Franklin county
to ply his profession. His talents
soon became known and in short |
while he was holding leading po-
sitions in the business enterprises
of Louisville. The Kentucky Title
Company. realizing his worth, Sc
cured his services in connection
with their business. In addition
to his duties here, he specialized
in real estate and made quite
success of it. He also had other
and evidently from
his efforts to raise money during
his last days, Teverses had over
taken him, and this, together with
grip and stomach trouble, it is
unbalanced his mind,
and while in this state and before
the spell could be broken he took
his life.
Mr.. McCoun was an honest
man. One obligation he had of
81, 600, and the party to whom it
was due did not have a scratch Of
4 pen to show for it. The amount ,
was placed to his creditors credit

while DefoTCh his death. -4--l Il
His insurance policies amounted {

after my debts have been paid the
balance goes to my wife, the pro-

others.

VERDICT FOR Mn. SACK.
A knOtty Loan Association Case De-
cided in the City Court.

Almost the entire day in the CiIy Court
yesterday was occupied in hearing the
suit Of the Southern building and Loan
Association against Henry Sack. The case
proved 10 be a very tedious and tiresome
one. The contradictory claims Of the two
parties were confusing, and seemingly ir-
reconcilable, but Judge Norwood finally
succeeded in STRENGTHENING out the facts
and his charge TO the jury laid the matter
clearly before them. The result was a
verdict for the defendant
The suit was for a loan Of 81 $50 claimed
10 have been made by the association 10
Mr.. Sack on Dec. ]. 1887. Mr. Sack, in his
answer, denied having received this mon
ey, but admitted that he had entered into
a contract and given a deed to the asso-
citation for this amount. This he was IN
formed that il was necessary for him 10
do in order that the papers might be for
warded 10 the home office before the money
could be obtained Several days later he
met Mr.. G. B. Wnauey, manager OF the
Savannah branch who rendered him a
much smaller sum than that mentioned in
the contract, about $3.50 which he declined
10 receive.
The evidence showed that Mr.. Sack had
previously been a member Of the loan as
sociauon and became indebted to it TO the
amount of several hundred dollars. and
that judgment had been rendered against
him in the City Court in 1886 for the
amount which judgment had never been
settled. In securing the new loan from
the association it was agreed that the
amount should be deducted from the cd
judgment. In addition to deducting this
amount however, the officers or agents of

WASN'T mustered OUT.
William Kane, of Third Kentucky
Held for Assault.

There is one member of the Third Ken
lucky. who was not mustered out with
his regiment. He is William Kane a mem
Ter Of Company E, who was arrested Mon
day morning by Lieut.. Hines of the Sec
ond Infantry, in charge of The detachment
of the provost guard then on duty at the
camp and turned over yesterday to the
civil authority.
Kane was in his tent at camp and pre-
pairing to leave, when the tent suddenly
descended upon his head, much TO his an
ger and disgust He turned out to discov-
er the cause of this unlocked for and dis
agreeable disturbance. and found that a
negro, Richard Virgins, had upset the
tent, innocentfy and unintentonally, ac-
cording to his story. but with malice afore-
thought, according TO the view of the mat
ter taken by Kane. The injured and an
gered Kentuckian picked up a convenient
tent peg, that was lying nearby, and smote
Virgins Justify as TO his head, not once
but several times and with good round
blows.
Fortuna ely the point of the negro's an
atomy selected for attack was the least
vulnerable and no serious injury was
done. NeVert heless, he sci up a horrible
bowling and sc1eeching and attracted the
attention OF Lieut.. Hines. who was pres
ent with a detachment of the provost
guard. The lieutenant arrested Kane and
had him taken 10 provost Headquarters
where he was confined overnight and was
later removed to the station house, where
he was turned over by the military to the
civil authority.
The case Will be examined by the Recor-
der in The Police Court this morning. The
negro after he had been struck by Kane
was taken to his home. Ii is understood
that he suffered no serious Injury, but
that he was rather badly bruised ;Eld beat
en- and worse frightened. He is employed
by Col. Bellinger in the department. of the
depot quariermaster, and is altogether
rather good man.

Mr.. Conner Has Not Decided what
Disposition He Will Make of 1t.
Mr. II. NJ. Conner said yesterday that
he had not yet decided to what use he
would put the Upper Rice Mill property
which he recently purchased. He has not
yet obtained the title to the property,
an application having been made to the
court in behalf of those interested for
the necessary order TO enable them to
make valid title
Mr. Conner was asked If he had any in
tention of continuing the property as
rice mill. He replied that he had not
made up his mind vet, but that II he should
so decide it would be necessary to put in
en- entirely new plant and rebuild the
property the Old plant having been so
badly damaged by fire about year ago
as to be practically useless for the pur-
pose.
The Planters Mil is the only one left
of the three large rice mills which were
in operation In Savannah a few years
ago, the Lower Rice Mil having been COM
pletely destroyed by fire few years ago
and the Upper Rice Mil almost destroyed
a year ago.

The Broushton street merchants VIII
now begin closing Their stores at O'Clock
in the afternoon. 1t does not come too
soon for the clerks. for they have had

merchants have decided to adopt the new
hour for closing.
While the soldiers were encamped near
Savannah business with the merchants
was SO lively as to make it necessary for
them to keep their stores open unit much
later than T. Ii was not an unusual thing
