Meeting
OF the Board Last Night-Mrs. Dale
and Messrs. Calender and
Brown Appeal.

The Board of Mayor and Alderme en-
is getting in hurry to have work
commenced ON the new depot. They
held a called meeting Tuesday night. at
which time the two ordinances in
troduced and passed ON their first read

At the instance of President Roose
welt Congress has appropriated $500, O0t
for relief of the Martinique sufferers.
A like bill to give relief to the Irisf
was before Congress once upon time
when Andrew johnson was a member
of that august body, and the dis
tinguished Tennessean voted against
it. In the following political cam
paign MIR. Johnson's opponent invited
him to a public discussion OF the issues
of the day. and named one of the
strong Irish wards of Memphis as one
Of the appointments. Nothing daunted
Mr.. johnson went, and his opponent,
armed full capapie went for him in
great style for his lack of sympathy
for the poor down trodden sons of the
Emerald isle. And the Infatuated Irish
ladies present could hardly be per-
suaded to give johnson hearing when
he rose to reply. When lie did speak,
however, he said: Fellow citizens,
it is true that such bill was before
Congress- and it is also true that I
voted against it. l thought the bill
unconstitutional in form and matter,
and dangerous in precedent, and l
could not, therefore, vote away the
peoples money to such cause.
Nevertheless, my countrymen, the
cause OF Ireland lies near my heart
and while did not feel that | had the
right to give your money to it,
I did feel that / had right t.,
do as pleased with my own. So
I reached down into the depths of my
own pocket, and took therefrom an
hundred dollars of my own money and
sent it to the starving poor of Ireland.
Will my opponent be kind enough to
tell you how much of his own money
he gave to the cause he SO eloquently
Then it was johnson s
lay in the old ward His OPP
ponent, the Hon. Gus Henry,
lad not given anything to Ireland,
ind he lacked all Of getting any votes
in that ward. How times have
changed since then! In those days h,
public men, as rule, were spend
hrifts with their own, and prodigate, j.,
,ut as jealous Of the peoples trust as ,
hey were of their own honor. Now, )
hey grow suddenly and violently rich q
N small salaries, and vote away more
+ other peoples money in day than :
hey can compute interest on in week.
n those days the South, with it's
ealous sense of Nation honor,
uled the country. Now the CONNER
ialism of the North is in the saddle, +
nd hunky is in the White House. b

CREATED A SCENE.
Flournoy Rivers Fined by Judge
Holding and Sent to Jail.


Pulaski, Tenn May 14.-The Ham.
monds murder case went to the jury at
adjournment this afternoon upon the
fullest and most comprehensive charge
that has ever been given in the case,
and with which both the prosecution
and defense stated they were satisfied.
1t is likewise universally conceded that
the arguments in the case were better
than heretofore.
During the long trial nothing of in
cident has happened to mar the pro-
ceedlngs until yesterday afternoon,
when Flournoy Rivers, of counsel for
the defense, used opprobrious words to
Hon Andrew Woodland and very high
and haunting words to the Circuit
Judge, when sentenced to pay two fines
of 800 and serve ten days in Jail
This afternoon Mr.. Rivers, in the
words Of Lord Bacon's apology, ibid
freely and ingeniously confess, both
to the Circuit Judge and to Mr..
and on the request Of Attorney
General Boyd and Mr.. Woodaro and
the other attorneys, the punishments
were remitted, whereupon the audience
broke into storm of applause. Mr..
Rivers then stated that hereafter he
would conform, but that he would
be aggravating, having
been born &c., while at the same time
being always hereafter polite. To which

The newspaper reports of Senator
Carmack's recent speech spoke of his
reference to "a certain Tennessean' g
horse. The speech as it comes in the
Congressional Record is little more
definite that this. and reads as follows
Speaking of the Presidents somewhat
reckless style of denunciation, Mr..
Carmack said: HE resembles in his
habits of speech my friend Joe Bal
lanfant's horse, of which remarkable
animal it was said that running away
was his natural gait. The story as we
have heard Carmack tell it was of d
crazy gray horse that Joe used to ride
when Ned was school boy at Culleoka.
Joe was then dashing young fellow
Just out of the Confederate army and
the idol Of all the boys and girls. One
day when the sch DOL children were out
on the side Of the road Joe came career
ing down IN a cloud of dust riding his
horse at the top Of his speed. They
all rushed out to shout their greetings
to him, and Joe brought his horse
around in a wide circle and approached
the group. One of the children called
out ana asked him If his horse was
away. Running away,
replied Joe, running
away is his natural gait.

THE TRUTH LEAKING OUT.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Dallas, says:
From statement issued by one of
the prominent Bishops of the church
late tonight, it appe ars that the first
press dispatches were in error in say
ing that the letter of Senators to Bish-
CD Gambler affirmed that the book
agents and attorney for the war claim
were innocent of deceptive methods be-
fore the Senate. On the contrary, the
letters of the Senators is said to declare
that misleading methods were practiced
by the, book agents and attorney.
1.-THE point of the letter Of the Sena-
tors was that the money should not be
returned to the Government by the
church on account of these alleged de-
ceptive acts of the book agents and at
torney; that the claim was just
claim, and should have been paid,
and that the church was not to be
censured on account Of these acts, !"
Just as we said at the time, the
first press dispatches were doc
tored." Doctored for the purpose of
creating public sentiment in favor of
the book agents So instead of exon
Grating the book agents, what the SEN
ators really did say was just the con-
trary; they exonerated the church,
but censured the hook agents, and
heir attorney.

A special from Centreville to the
Banner says: 1.-THE primary election
to select candidates for Judge and
Attorney General for the Eleventh
Judicial District passed off very
quietly. A very light vote was polled.
J. B. Garner made almost a clean
sweep in Hickman County. The vote
of the Centreville district was 115.
Garner received 10 and Sowell 5.
Judge Holding received every vote
cast. The announcement of Joe Russell
as an independent candidate for Judge
will cut no figure In the general cleo
tion in August. Judge Holding will
be elected by large majority.

spect of his political adversaries. Sena-
tor Foraker of Ohio, perhaps as high
authority as there is on the other side
of the chamber. referring to Mr.. Car
mack's first speech says:
1.-The opponents of this measure
have given to this discussion so wide
range that it comprehends the entire
Philippine problem. This was in
dictated in one OF the first speeches
made in this debate by the Senator
from Tennessee Mr.. Carmackl when
he stated that in this controversy the
real issue is not in this bill, but the
policy of which it is exponent. The
Senator, after making that statement.
then proceeded TO make a very elabo-
rate speech; and / -an say in all good
so far as its literary quality
is concerned and so far as it is con-
cerned as an intellectual effort, it was

than / read that one although | do not |
agree with single proposition or
view advanced by the Senator. 4"

The City of Columbia already has
three lawsuits to defend, growing out
of the new depot proposition. How
many more they will have remains to
be seen. The lawyer fees and court
costs for defending these several law
suits, should be included in estlmat-
ing the cost to the city. This would
not be necessary, however. if the
Board would stick to its promise not
to exceed ten thousand dollars.

of the Island of Martinique, the dis
patches report a somewhat remarkable
disturbance of nature. Towit: "The
inhabitants of Fl. de France were
panic-s stricken the morning of the
disaster when the sky suddenly black
ened until it was as dark as midnight.
The sea shrank back thirty yards and
hot rain began to fall, while gravel the
size of walnuts poured down on the
town. This lasted about fifteen min

When William E. Chandler was
Secretary of the Navy he issued an
order that officers should not allow
their wives to reside at the foreign
stations to which they were attached.
One day he received the following /:
''It becomes my painful duty to report
that my wife, Eliza Fyffe, has, in
disobedience to my orders and in the
face OF the regulations Of the depart
ment. taken up her residence ON the
station and refuses to leave" 1t was
written by Commodore Fyffe of the
Asiatic squadron. The order was
rescinded on the following day.
