replaced in anything like a salts
factory way. While a fire might
not occur, it would be wise, with
so much at stake, to provice against
such calamitous event. Nearly
every other county in this section
of the state have long ago taken
this precaution, and, said to those
who talked, if we neglect it, and a
disastrous fire should occur, we
will be blamed. A motion was
made by Squire Harpending that
Messrs. Rochester and Woods and
p. s. Maxwell be appointed as a
commission to enquire into the
probable costs of vaults for the
County and Circuit Clerks offices
and report at the next term of the
fiscal court. All the justices voted
for the motion. Each member of
the court agreed to advise with his
constituency and explain the mat
ter, and if the people feel chat the
improvement should be made,
steps will be taken to that end at
the October term.
1t was agreed that the addition
could be made to the
west end of the court house, where
the rooms would adjoin the two
offices.
This board of magistrates, and
especially the County Judge, has
been exceedingly anxious to get

WEAVER FOR BRYAN.
The Leading PopuIist Of the West Talks
About the Situation.

Gen. James B. Weaver of Iowa
was in Louisville last week, anC
while there he gave out an inter.
view TO the papers in which he
said:
There is but one sentiment
among Democrats and populists
in regard to the Democratic nomi-
nee. Without exception they favor
Mr.. w. j. Bryan's denomination.
"Since reaching Kentucky I
have been informed that the Pop.
ulists of the State who favor the
candidacy of Bryan will shortly
hold a conference in Louisville to
select delegates to the Sioux Falls
convention May 9. They tell me
that the middle -the-roaders'
who have bolted the regular or
ganization and have selected dele
gates to the Cincinnati convention
do not represent the Populist SEN
timent of Kentucky. Such gen.
tlemen as the Hon. Thomas Petit
and State Senator Crenshaw, of
Hopkinsville, and others of like
standing and character are not at
the head of the movement"
"Will the Sioux Falls conv1n-
ton indorse Bryant"
"The Sioux Falls convention
will be as heartily for Bryan for
President as the Democratic con-
vention ITSELF" replied Gen. Wea-
YER. "The 'mid-roaders,' having
broken from the organization and
called their convention in Cincin-
n,.ti, will flock to themselves and
we will not be disturbed by them
at Sioux Falls. The Populist lead
ers will do nothing to embarass
the situation nor will they attempt
to dictate TO their allies the per-
sonnet of the ticket.
'They realize that Bryan has
already been practically renomina-
ted by the people, and they will
bow loyalty to ihs peoples will"

The March term of tho Critten-

afternoon.
The two colored boys who en-
tered the plea of guilty to the
charge of breaking into a store
house and were given a sentence
OF two years in the penitentiary,
we're sent to the house of reform
instead of the state prison. The
law places it within the discretion
of the court to send those of ten
der years to the house Of reform.
Judge Num- very wisely conclu-
ded that these boys should, on ac-
count of their ages, be sent to the
latter institution, and he therefore
entered judgment directing the
sheriff to take them to Lexington
instead of Eddyville.

the hilly district Of the city, burst at s
a. m. today. More than 1OOOOO,OOO gallons
Of water were let loose. and rushed down
through the valley adjacent, flooding an
area peopled by 1900 people. Dwellings
were washed away, others were badly
damaged, and all those within a distance
three blocks square were either wholly
or partially filled with sand. Buildings,
furniture and utensils, and ruined effects
of all kinds, added to the hopeless as

damaged were Of costly character. as
they were for the most part homes OF
working men.

covering floors of. others Not a house

ven & Milwaukee railroad short dis
tance north of the reservoir were under
mined, and trains on the road were oblig-
ed to make a detour via other roads.
The break was first seen by Burt Bots
ford, a boy delivering morning papeRs.
1t was only a tiny stream, but. realizing
the importance of his discovery, the lad
aroused hundreds from sleep, and urged
them to escape.
The reservoir gave away at the gate
house near Livingston street pouring down
hill a stream thirty feet wide and ten
feet deep. A number of houses were
swept from their foundations and car
ried away with the food and crushed.
and some streets were torn up to depth
Of forty feet.
Mrs. Cooper. of Clancy street. was lit
orally swept out of her house by the
flood. She was carried to the bottom of the
hill and buried to her neck In sand. She
was rescued alive, but win probably die.
No other fatalities or serious injuries were
reported.

age will amount to 100000.
