TOOK ORDERS FOR WHISKY.
Nashville Firm And It's Representa-
tive Indicted at Franklin.

Franklin, Tenn, Aug. 27.-The
grand jury at its present term has re-
turned an Indictment against the sa-
loon firm of Liggett & Council, of Nash
vile and c.. E. Morton, their repre-
sentative, on the charge of selling
whisky in Franklin by order.
The indictments are the result of a
visit by Morton about two weeks ago,
when he was here soliciting cash or
ders for whisky for future delivery.
When his business was discovered the
committee of twenty five took the mat
ter up and at once began an investi-
cation of the law on the subject and
the manner in which his sales were be
ing made
The facts gathered were presented to
Judge Cartwright, who delivered
special charge to the grand jury, tell
ing them that it was unlawful to solic-
it such orders, and instructing them to
indict the offenders.
The day Morton was here, in com
pany with Policeman Smith, he sought
the advice of Attorney General Nicely,
who then gave him bis opinion that he
was amenable to the law.

to Great Demand All Over
The COuntry.-Shipments
On The Increase.

A new industry is springing up 10
Maury county, which promises to prove
quite an important traffic. 1t is the
dog industry.
For several years few blooded dogs
have been shipped out of Columbia, but
lately tho shipments have increased to
such an extent that they are almost an
every days occurrence.
Mr.. Il. E. Lipscomb. publisher of the
Dixie Game Fowl, ana broker in fine
game chickens, ETC., is building up quite
business in shipping fine dogs.
This week he made shipments to North
Carolina, Massachusetts, and to the
west. All of the dogs are hounds
and bird dogs and are used for fox
hunting, bird hunting, etc. Mr.. Lips
comb says that Maury county dogs are
sough after just like Maury county
game chickens, Jersey cows, and Maury
county horses. Because they come from
Maury county, Mr.. Lipscomb says,
gives them peculiar value over other
dogs, for Maury county, has al estab.
lshed reputation all over the U. S.
raising the best of every thing.

Beaten Over the Head and Face
With Buggy Whip-Blood
Flows.
Trouble Came as Result of Long Fued Over
the Turnpkes.-Both Men Make State
ments, Mr.. Rainey's Explanation
of Why He Hit Being of Sen
sational Character.

An alteration which led to blows &C.
cured on the Franklin pike Monday
morning between County Judge w. o.
Gordon and Mr.. Horace Rainey, gen
eral manager and owner of several turn
pixies of Maury county.
Judge Gordon's face was cut by a
buggy whip in the hands of Mr.. Rainey,
which drew the blood, and consider.
able knot was raised on the back of his
head where he was struck with the butt
end of the whip.
Judge Gordon's Statement.
Judge Gordon was seen at his office
in the courthouse after the trouble and
made the following statement:
81 was coming to town and out near
the toll gate l met Mr.. Rainey L was
in my buggy and he was in his buggy.
When we met said good morning TO
him, and at the same time refined up my
horse to stop so | could ask Rainey what
he was doing in regard to the rates he
had promised to give the people along
the pike. Last July, when the reports
on the condition of the pike we're made
by the commissioners. agreed with Mr..
Ralney and his attorneys to hold over
the reports if he would give the people
certain rates which they were demand
ing. He agreed to do this, but he has
never given the rates. So asked him
this morning in as friendly way as |
knew how, what he intended to do about
the rates. He began to abuse me and
charged me with bounding his pixies and
fathering all the antagonism among the
people TO them. He said was the only
man who didn't like the pixies; that they
suited everybody but me. He charged
me with calling out the turnpike COM
missioners to go over his pixies when no
body asked for the commissioners to be
called out, and lot of other things
which we're equally as untrue.I denied his
charges, and he callea me a "d--ned
liar, ana jumped out Of his buggy
and struck me over the head with his
buggy whip l realized that on &C
count of my years could not fight
him so | clucked to my horse and tried
to drive off. He grabbed my reins and
kept hitting me with his whip,
then struck him several blows as best
| could, but all the time hitting my
horse also, trying to get away from

they were not heard from any more

NOTED oARsMAN DEAD.
Pneumonia Carries OF Josh Ward at
His Home at Cornwall. N. Y.

The noted oarsman, Joshua A. Ward
died yesterday afternoon at his home In
Cornwall N. Y, where he had lived many
years with his family. Some time ago, while
he was visiting at the home of his son-in-
law, A. P. Tuthili he had a severe at
tack Of muscular rheumatism, which was
followed by stroke of paralysis and a
fit of hiccoughs, and Tuesday his disease
developed into pneumonia, which yester-
day caused his death.
Josh Ward was born In Newburgh N. Y,
on May II. 1858. and was a little over sixty
five years old.
In 1860 Ward was one of the six-oared
crew that won race of three miles; In Ii
minutes and 81 seconds on Lake Quinsiga-
mond.
The great race of October Is. 1859 at
Staten Island. where, Ward met Hanlon,
Daw and Fay, still stands as a record
He rowed In the Major Morten. which was
built by his friend. TfInothY Donoghue, and
at the expense of Benjamin B. Odell who
was then one Of the leading spirits In the
Newburgh association and who, with Dick
Bladen. Billy Edmonston and others of
that time, never failed to be sponsors for
the Wards in their rowing engagements.
Josh won" this race, which was five miles,
In the remarkable time of "a minutes and
10 seconds. which has never been equaled
although in later years better boats and
oars have been used. - 81
reer was In four and six-oared races The
four-oared crews comprised chiefly. his
brothers-Hank, Charles and GiI-with
Josh, and OCCASIONALLY the younger brother,
Ellis, who is now coach for the University
of Pennsylvania.
Some of the principal contests that fol-
lowed were the one i'll, 1885 at New York.
when the brothers vanquished the Stevens
crew of Poughkeepsie; at Sing Sing. when
they defeated the Bigln crew: at Spring
field in 1867, where for a prize of 81 900

N. B.; at Worcester In 1868. where they
defeated the six-oared Harvard crew, with
the five Ward brothers and J. l.. Raymond
and the international four-oared race on
September IL. 1871. on Saratoga lake. The
contestants were the Tyne crew of Eng
land. the Coulter-B iglin crew Of New York,

Fair at Benning This Fall.

Arthur Redeem, W. C. Whitney's premier
Jockey, will continue to ride at Benning
until the end of the meeting, when he will
go to San Francisco. Redfern has earned
to date $'5.000. His father. who showed
the long list of money paid to his son by
horsemen this year, said that this sum
would undoubtedly have been increased
$l5,OoO but for two accidents, which caused
Arthur to take an enforced vacation of two
months this season.
With his earnings Redfern has purchased

mainder of his money Is In bank.

the fortunate owners Of the winning horses
left here Monday morning for Chicago to
visit his parents. He will not return east
again ur.ti. early next spring.
Fuller wound up his season of work in the
saddle In similar style to his epening-by q
victory He began well by winning the first

stock. He closed his year of triumph by

at Benning last Saturday sending Frank
Farrell and a delegation of Tammany
braves home with many thousands of the

1t is curious fact that Congressman
Big Tim Sullivan, Fuller's principal en-
ployer. has been singularly unfortunate in
backing his Jockeys mounts Men in close
touch with big Tim" say that he has lost
100000 betting on Fuller this season. When
ever the Lad lost it was Tins fortune to
have bet on him: the days that he won
the congressman was either away from the
track or was too dsgruntled a his previous
losses to bet anything. Only at rare inter-
walls has big Tim" cashed on him During
the meeting at Benning Fuller has not been
very successful, but last Wednesday he
rode Meistersinger to victory, and beat out

FARMERS PLAYED WELL.
Maryland Agricultural Boys Had Good
Season on Gridiron.

The Agricultural College foot ball team
of the past season was the strongest for
several years. 1t defeated both the Column
bian University of this city and the Mary
land University, shutting out both. The
defeat by ST. Johns was due, in large
measure. to the muddy field. a part of the
game having been played In several inches
of water. The game against Delaware Col
lege. in which Delaware won, II to Q, was
hardly a fair test OF the Agricultural
strength, as Watts captain of the team,
was out OF the game with a sprained leg
and several others of the best players were
so weakened by previous INJURIES that they
were replaced early ia the game by mex
