A sensation that will spread like
wild-fire over Tennessee has developed
at Gallatin, where four of the most
prominent citizens of Sumner County
and one of Nashville, have been placed
under arrest for alleged completely in
the assassination of DR.. A. H. Will
Jams, who was shot down almost at
his own threshold on the night of
April 10, 1895.
1t is said that nine men altogether
are charged with being implicated,
but those who are arrested are as fol-
lows:
Edgar Mann, farmer and stock raiser,
Hendersonville.
R. M. Pierce, farmer and stock
raiser Hendersonville.
Rufus Bell, farmer, Hendersonville.
Haiden Dodd, real estate agent
Nashville.
Harry Wherry, postmaster, Hender-
sonville.
HAVE MADE BOND.
These men, it is claimed, made
bond at Gallatin Monday, in the sum
of $40 600 each, but the affair was
kept a profound secret, as the grand
Jury of Sumner County returned IN
dlctments against nine alleged con-
spirators and the officers OF the law
are said to be hot after the others,
some OF whom are claimed to be the
men who did the actual killing.
No crime ever occurring In Middle
Tennessee was any more startling or
shocking than that which sent DR..
Williams into eternity. On the night
of the tragedy he was gotten out OF
his home on fake summons, ana just
as he was leaving his own gate on
horseback he was fired upon twice ana
fell riddIed with buckshot. The crime
set the community into disorder, ana
at a mass meeting the next day re-
ward of 81. 300 was offered for the as
sassin. the sum being raised to vi, ooo
by the State.
FIRST ARREST MADE.
Everv oevice of human ingenuity
was brought to bear to ferret out the
murderers. Detectives fixed the quit
on Rufus Bell, j. B. Yeaman, WIN.
Butler and Tom Jones. They. were
tried, however, before a magistrate
and dismissed.
The first named is among those who
have inst been arrested and Jones,
who before that time had gained
celebrity bv shooting down Joe Win
ters, the slayer of his father in the
court house OF this city, now turns
ont TO be the main witness against all
whom the grand jury charge with I'M
plication IN the plot. Jones, since
killing Winters, has gone from bad TO

Cherry Mound on the charge OF mousse
breaking and larceny.

ANOTHER UNDERPASS.
One May Be Built at Cemetery
Avenue Crossing.

1t is reported that the L. & N. Rail
road Company has another improve
ment in view, in that of an under
pass at Cemetery avenue crossing.
This has always been dangerous
crossing. and change of grade TO
either underpass or overpass would
remove in part the danger to the
travelling public. The track near the
crossing will be raised, it is said,
about seven feet and the work OF
filling in the embankment is already
in progress.

Four games will constitute the play dur

impossible to make the number six, as
has been suggested, and desired by some
of the outsiders, so that each team may
have go with every other team in the
tournament This plan will make games
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
and the concluding contest on Saturday,
after Thanksgiving.
The schedule calls for match between
Oahu and Hawaii on Tuesday, the game
to commence at 1:3O o'clock. The next
day Maui and Kauai will meet and on
Thanksgiving Day the game will be be
tween the losers of the preceding games.
This will leave the great game, that be-
tween the winners, to be fought out on
Saturday. Every game except the first
will be called at $50 o'clo k. BY this plan
there viii be chance for Kauai and
Maui which teams have been casting
defis at each other, to have a match with
fresh horses.
| A most important decision has been
made by the local committee, which will
rebound to the benefit of Maui most par
ticularly. There are in training over there
some horses which are out of the polo
class, being q little above 14-2, almost l4-S
in fact. The barring of these horses
would put Maui in bad way and con-
sequently they will be permitted to play.
The horses of The local men are all under
| the limit, so that the removal may benefit
outsiders only.
| There may be another change made dur
ing the period of the games, but it is a
matter winch must be settled by the cap
tains of the four teams in conference.
This bears upon the time of play. 1t is
proposed by some of the players to length
en- the rests and shorten the playing time.
This would tend to make the game faster
while it lasts, and may have the effect of
preventing such straining the part of
| the men as often results from too hard
work in this climate.
Special steamer rates have been made
for the horses of the players, and the
local club will stable and keep them dur
ing their stop here.

Gently promulgated circular which has
been sent to every army post in the
United States, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the

on duty in Picking, China, at the American
legation, to establish post schools" The
circular or regulation requires that all

ninety days each between November / and
March 80.
officers at Camp Mckinley will take
their books and wend their way to post
school, about December unless the pres
ent plans are materially changed. The
school takes the place of the Lyceum
authorized to train young officers.
The officers who show the greatest pro-
fessional talent will be selected for further
instruction in the general service and staff
ington.
One reason for the establishment of the
school is on account Of the great number
of recent appointments as officers in the
army, of civilians. Secretary Roots cir
cular received here is as follows:
1T is not intended that officers shall be
forever attending Rotations Under the
old system of lyceum instruction there
was no such thing as graduation, but I'M
der the new scheme, prepared under the
direct supervision of the Secretary of
War, officers will be able generally within
two years to secure certificates in ali the
departments which they are required to
pursue. 1t is assumed that all officers
have an average education before enter
ing the Army, and the idea which runs
through the new system is that every Of
ficer holding commission should possess
thorough technical knowledge indispen-
sable to military men. Every Lieutenant
will be required to establish his fitness not
only in the theories of his ordinary duties,
but also learn practically the duties of Ad-
Jutant, Quartermaster, Commissary and
those of other staff bureaus He will be
required to show his mastery of all the
details of company administration, which
knowledge is of such great Importance,
