The Great Porch Question.

Monday evening at the regular
meeting of the town council the mat
ter of the porches of Geo. NJ. Beltz,
hoover, Esq, and the Misses Magru.
der was taken up. The council had
ordered the parties named to show
cause why their porches, which are
wider than town ordinance allows,
should not be removed. As hereto
fore stated in the REGISTER, much
feeling had been created by the ac-
tion of the council, as an enforcement
of the ordinance would mean the de-
struction of many porches in the town
and heavy loss to property owners.
In the regular order of business the
council took up the question. Mr..
Beethoven appeared for himself and
Mr.. J. S. Bragonier for the Misses
Magruder. Both gentlemen protest
ed against the enforcement of the or
dinance as contemplated, submitting
that it was unjust to single out two
when it was a well-known fact that
there were many more violations, and
they objected to being Disseminated
against. At this juncture Hon. A. S.
cambridge presented petition to the
council, signed by most Of the large
property owners of the town, and in
an earnest speech asked that the
council grant the prayer of the petit
TONERS that the ordinance be not en-
forced. The petition and its signers
are as follows

To the Honorable Mayor, Recorder
and Common Council of Shepherds

the fact that many porches have re-
Gently been built in town exceeding in
width the limit allowed by ordinance,
we, the undersigned, respectfully petit
ton your honorable body that this or
dinance be not enforced against the
porches already built, as these improve
ments have added greatly to the beauty
of the town and in many cases great
hardship would be done by ordering

There was good deal Of dispute
about the admission and consideration
of the petition, but it was finally got
ten before the council in the regular
way. After some discussion Mayor
Harrison, with Recorder Billmyer in
the chair, offered a motion that the
petition be received and adopted and
the prayer of the petitioners be granted.
He called for the yeas and nays, with
the result that those favoring the Pc
tition were:
b. F. Harrison.
S. P. Humrickhouse, Jr.
Those voting against it were:
G. w. Billmyer.
DR.. g. T. V S. Butler.
L. w. Poffinberger.
Daniel P. Ray.
J. w. B. Frazier.
The discussion of the subject was
continued and various motions offered
and rejected. DR.. Butler finally offered
a motion, which was adopted, that the
mayor appoint committee of three
to measure all the porches in town
that had been erected since 1897, the
intention being to enforce the ordi
nance against all over the specified
width. The mayor appointed as the
committee DR.. Butler, Mr.. Pofinber-
ger and Mr.. Humrickhouse. 1t was
then agreed that the whole matter
should go over until the next regular
meeting, when the committee should
make its report and further action be
taken. The large crowd that had
gathered then dispersed and the regu-
lar business of the council was pro-
ceeded with.

the repairs to the steamer Henrietta,

boat has only been chartered into the
Cumberland river trade for several
weeks. and il the business holds out

Asher, who will be business manager
of the boat, in conversation last night
stated that the trade the boat will run
in will be between Dover and Nash
Vile. She will not return to Psducah
after she leaves for Dover. 1t will
require ten days longer to finish the
repairs and then she will start south
to Dover to go into the trade. She Is
considered the fastest boat about these
waters except the Dick Fowler and
runs 90 knots per hour steady.

TRUTH COMING OUT
THERE WAS A CONSPIRACY TO
MURDER THE HUNTER
FAMILY.

A Washington dispatch TO yester'
days Courier Journal says; A letter
received here today from Guatemala
City, written by q friend OF the Unit
ed States minister, says; There were
five persons in the conspiracy to muir
der W. Godfrey Hunter. Minister
Hunter, the father Of young Hunter,
is now securing sffidavits from reput-
able American citizens and natives
and will forward by the next mail all
the names of the oonspirators and a
full confession from one of them. The
persons implicated in the plot to assas-
sinate young Hunter will have to
stand trial. One was recently dis
charged from the Northern railroad.
His home is in New Orleans. One is
a United States government official,
and the other three are bad characters
who have served terms IN the Guate-
msls City penitentiary. AS the laws
of Guatemala are very severe the par
ties in the plot will be lucky IL they
get off with life sentences. On
searching through the effects of Fitz-
gerald, the man who was killed, there
was found $1,000, which occasioned
some surprise, as it was thought he
possessed no money"

OF INTEREST 10 PA
DUCAHANS.

Peter Arlund was summoned before
the grand jury today, and this fact
caused some lively speculation as to
the reason therefor, says yesterdays

it might have connection with the re-
cent st. Louis sensation in which Mr..
Arlund figured as Peter the velisnt,
the defender Of fair women.
1t turned out, however, that Mr..
Arlund's presence before the grand
jury was desired in an entirely differ

pany he was questioned regarding
transaction involving 7. b. Leonard,
the secretary, who is charged by Mrs.
Lila S. Ksvsnaugh with obtaining
$500 from her by false pretenses. She
alleges that he borrowed the money of
her on the representation that the loan
was for the company, whereas it was
for his personal account

especially painful and severe when con-

badly affected that the sufferer is unable
to perform the lightest work. This, like
all other types of Eczema, is due to acid
poisons in the blood and not to local
causes. The trouble is more than skin
deep, and washes, soaps, powders and
salves nor anything else applied to the
surface can possibly do more than soothe
the burning and itching or relieve tempo

in which we are told that "a kiss

a Disastrous Fire.

The imposing Tompkins building,
the home of the S. G. G. I, is in
ashes. The SCOT be- cimed chimneys
stand as mute sentinels over the re-
mains of the once beautiful structure
which was so ruthlessly devoured by
the flames.
The fire alarm was sounded about
1890 on Monday morning and as
the fire could be located our people
rushed en- masse to the college build
ing and endeavored, as long as there
was hope, to extinguish the fire.
Those who were first on the scene
said it began either in the pantry or
kitchen, making rapid headway. No
fire had been kiDdled in or about the
building for a month and how it
caught is mystery.
It soon became evident that the
building was doomed, so all hands
a hundred or more-set about to save
Col. Bailey's property, the contents
of the building. A great deal was
saved while much was destroyed.
Three pianos were carried safely out,
two new ones were burned. In one
hour after the fire began the building
was in ashes. The barn of Mr..
James T. Bacon was burned and his
and Mr.. James E. Harris home mar
rowly escaped beirg burned.
The loss is estimated at nearly
$4,000, of which $4,000 was cov-
e"'a by insurance. Mr.. D. A. Tomp-
kins had $4,000 on the building and
Col. F. n. K. Bailey had $4,000 on
bis furniture, etc., and $1,000 on
barn and stables, which were burned.
