A Popular Man Succumbed to Para
ysls This Morning at 5.
Had Been Ill But . Short Time
Lived in Paducah Since
the War.
STORY OF HIS

Captain Dorsey Dunn, one OF the
most popular rivermen in this section.
died this morning about O'CLOCK at
the home Of his sister, Mrs. Ellen
Stroud. at Fifth and Tennessee streets,
from paralysis and apoplexy. He was
stricken yesterday morning upon ris-
ing, and DIR. ]. @. Brooks, upon being
called. found that one side was par
alyzod.
Last evening, however, Captain
Dunn seemed TO be resting we'll but
this morning early began to sink fast
and soon expired. He had not been
in good health for some time, but was
able to beat his desk at the St. Ber'
nard's river front office. The death of
his aged mother. 10 whom he was
very much devoted, at Smithland q
few months ago Is believed to have
FASTENED his physical collapse.
Capt Dunn was an unique oharao-
ter, and was known all over this sec.
tion, especially among the rivermen.
He was always identified with the
river interests, although he had for
the past several years been in the coal
business. He was n man OF strong
character, and was very popular with
those who knew him, and although Of
q retiring disposition knew . great
many people. He was never married.
The deceased was born in Smithlsnd
on April 80, islS, and was 60 years of
age. He came 20 Paducah in 1868
and was first employed a. clerk ON the
wharfboat He was one of the best
known rivermen in this state and was
at one time captain Of the J. W. Mes.
bit, quite a large steamboat. He
served on numerous other boats As
clerk. but this was the only position
as master he ever held. He was at
one time clerk ON the Gus Fowler, and
was clerk on the wharfboat for about
ten years.
After quitting river life he went
into the coal business with Mr.. Tom
Lee and remained in this business the
remainder OF his life. He had been
lately employed by the 81. Bernard
Coal 90. here and Ind charge Of the
Office on South First street. He leaves
but few relatives, among them being
two sisters and one brother. They
are Mrs. M. J. Hewlett Of Kewanee,
Ill. Mrs. Ellen Stroud of Psduoah
and Mr.. George Dunn Of Cairo, ILL.,,
who will come TO Paducah today to
accompany the remains to Smithland
and attend the funeral.
II 10 probable that the st. Bernard
90. will have one Of its boats trans
port the remains TO Smithland, but If
this is not done the body will be ship
ped ON the packet. Tho funeral will
b. held tomorrow at smithland and
many Of his friends here will go up to
attend.

officer Frank Harlan Is Made Lieu
tenant Of Police.
Elected Last Night By the Board Of
Police Commissioners-Chief
Elected Also.
oFFIoERs SWORN IN TODAY

The board Of fire and police commits.
sioners met last night at = O'Clock in
the city hall and elected chief of po.
lice, lieutenant Of police and patrol
driver.
Mr.. James Collins was made chief
Of police at salary of 900 per month
and Mr.. John Austin was reelected
patrol wagon driver by a unanimous
vote, no one opposing him.
Mr.. Frank Harlan, who has been act
ing as an officer for the past thirty
years, was elected lieutenant Of police
by vote OF three to one; Lieutenant
Moore, the present incumbent, being
his only opponent .... .-...
Tho vacancy in the South Side fire
department caused by the. resignation
Of Eley Burton was not filled as the
commissioners are waiting on the two
boards for action in regard to a fire
ordinance.
There had been much complaint
made 20 the members OF the board rel
alive to loafers, especially on lower
Court and South Second streets. The
merchants complain that the men
stand about In their doors and make
themselves regular nuisances, and ap-
pesled to the board for aid in break
ing them up. The commissioners or
dered the move on" ordinance strict
ly enforced and II is probable thst be-
fore the week is out, that portion Of
the city will be depopulsted of ITS usu.
al crowd OF loafers. The steamboat
men can not procure labor yet there is
plenty here but all are unwilling to
earn an honest living.
This morning the police were all
sworn in shortly before noon.
Lieutenant Frank Harlan, who was
not candidate, but who fully appre-
ciates the honor conferred. neverthe-
less. has been on the police force in
Paducah for 81 years, and he has new
or asked the people for any Office dur
ing his long and faithful service. Last
spring he ran for the Democratic NOM
nation for marshal. but did not get it.
His election last night is all the more
gratifying because Officer Harlan was
not candidate.
Lieutenant Harlan lisa gentlemanly,
disnified and capable officer, and one
who is thoroughly familiar with the
police department in every detail. He
knows the pedigree and record of ev-
cry criminal this section Of the coun-
try has produced in thirty years and
some of the most notable Of the past
achievements OF the Paduoah police
were through the efforts of Lieuten-
ant Harlan. His many friends are
glad that he has been accorded this
recognition. although 1t Is but slight
in comparison with his splendid work
OF over 80 years in the police depart
ment.
Former Lieutenant Moore, who will
have one of the important beats, is a
very popular gentleman and has al
ways made q fine officer.

 J. F. Price and wife. Mrs. S. NJ. Schenck and Miss Ida Johnson returned Tuesday from the northern part of the territory. They are all well and report a pleasant outing.
 The south side is getting pretty thor oughly soaked again. The Tempe canal held fifteen heads all day yesterday. and the river was past fording for a time yesterday morning and again last evening.
 MT. and Mrs. Niles Petersen and Miss Anna Decker returned from Long Beach yesterday morning, where they have been spending the summer.
 J. H. Root and Miss Ina Listebarger were passengers on last nights train to Pima, where MT. Root goes to visit his two sons. Miss Listebarger will teach in the school there.
 A wheel belonging to A. J. Peters was stolen from Fred Hunt Tuesday evening, The wheel, a New Century was left standing at Mrs Manley's and that was the last Seen of it.
 The public school and the training school of the Normal both opened Tues day morning under fiattering conditions as regards attendance, the former hay ing 175, the latter sixty, which number will probably be greatly increased be- fore the end of the week. The student |: of the training school, though, have suffered a loss already. Their canary bird whose singing they were looking forward to with SO much pleasure has escaped, and if the party who captures it will return it at the Normal or to Miss Mather at the Casa Lom2 the favor will be greatly appreciated by them.
 There is some talk of recognizing the Merchants band of this place. All interested are requested to bring their instruments and music and meet at the hand room a 9:30 Sunday morning. The band has been greatly missed the past summer. and it is to be hoped that every one will do all they can to help the good cause along.
 Clarence Penn was seriously injured in q runaway yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Penn and the baby were also in the wagon and John Cummings was driv ing. In some manner the wagon box caught on the wheel and was turned over, throwing its occupants to the ground. All were more or less bruised. but Clarence was the worst hurt. one leg being badly lacerated at the knee.
 Several of Tempes young men got themselves into trouble while returning from a dance at Nephi several nights ago. As they passed William Good wins house one Of the party took shot at Billy's large white dog which was inside the yard. The boys were up be- fore Judge Nelson yesterday and plead guilty to 2 charge of misdemeanor. Their fines ranged from 8 to $20. The dog seems to have gotten the best end of the bargain. All he get was a sore shoulder, which is about well now. while the boys are out the price of several days hard work

Weekly Crop Bulletin

For the Week Ending September :, 1863.
 The weather was warm the greater portion Of the past week, though in some sections the nights were cool The latter part of the week was cooler
 Shcwery conditions continued to pre- vail over the central and eastern DOT tlcns of the territory most of the week
 The showers were of q local character. and were generally less widespread and numerous than during the previous week. In some sections no rain what ever fell. 4 few correspondents report heavy rains in their localities, and on Saturday there were heavy rains quite generally over the central and south ern portions of the territory. In the mountains the rains were much heavier than in the valleys. This shown by the How of muddy water in the streams
 which are generally at d good stage ana furnish an adequate supply of lrrl- Gatlon water for the present needs of vegetation. In the western portion of the territory the weather has been gen. orally fair, but the lower Colorado river

is at Q good stage and furnishes ample irrigation water for that section. In general it may be said that conditions during the past week were favorable for vegetation, and that crops are in good condition and maturing nicely. In some localities crops are reported to he beyond danger of injury from dry weather. Favorable reports regarding the corn crop continue to be received. Though in some sections the crop is not so good as had been anticipated, in other sections it promises to be very large. In the northern portion of the territory some of it has been cut, and late planted corn in the southern DOT tion is nearing maturity. Grain har vest is in progress in the northern counties, but this work has been delay ed somewhat by rain and the grain is lodging in some localities. Though in some sections the crop is light, because of insufficient rainfall. generally it is good. The crop of sorghum is very good and is being harvested in some localities. Alfalfa harvest continues and the various later cuttings of this crcp are generally reported to be good. In CoconinO county there has been considerable damage by rain to hay in making. Garden truck IS dOlng we'll The crop of potatoes is generally large. Turnips are being planted in some To- calities. Fruit continues to do well. Apples are generally reported to be of good quality. Late peaches in Yavapai county are abundant and good. A sec ond crop of melons in the vicinity of Eden. Graham county, is reported to be coming on nicely. The ranges continue

TEE FISH CREEK ROAD
Stories of Its Ruseedness Have Not
 Been hasnified.

J. R. Thorpe of this city and Garri- son Babcock of Chicago, a civil en- gineer, returned from Globe on yester- day mornings train, having made the trip from here to Globe on horseback, via the proposed Fish Creek road to the dam site, in company with Arthur P. Davis and others. The purpose of the gentlemen as has been heretofore stat ed was to look over the Fish Creek route with a view of possibly putting in bid for construction of the tele- phone line.
 Mir. Thorpe says he is now fully sat isfed that the gentlemen who say the Fish creek route is a rough one are well advised in the matter. He thinks the whole trail from Goldfeld to the dam site needs working over by mother nature before civil engineers accept it as good raw material. Asked if he would put in a bid for construction work, Mir. Thorpe said he did not be- lieve anybody would put ina bid. The telephone line can be built all right, but SO much of the material will have to be carried on pack animals over widely differing trails that an engineer can scarcely find anything reliable to base an estimate on. He thinks there fore that the government will have tn build the line itself, as q private con tractor would take too many chances.
 Mir Davis, he said, he found to be q very genial companion on >the journey and sszSery broadminded and observin&; man. He feels sure that he will meet and master every obstacle in the way of roadbuilding one way or another, but as for himself MT. Thorpe wants to sit down before the counting begins MT. Davis has zone from Globe to New Mexico. and will in a day or two reach Denver.
