SIX SKIRMISHES.
Kentucky Boys Do Not Take
''War" Seriously.
Governors Beckham and Ourbin
Were Guests at West Point
On Sunday-the Count.

West Point, KY, Oct. 5.-Satur-
days maneuvers consisted of six
skirmishes, in each of which the
militia regiments participated. 1t
developed two little conflicts, one
between the Eighth Ohio against
two troops Of the Eighth cavalry,
and the other between the FIJI st
Indiana and regular cavalry which
we're regarded as gems by military
experts. The skirmish between
the Second Kentucky and two more
troops of the Eighth cavalry was
not satisfactory. The Kentucky
regiment was slow, the cavalry VI
dettes riding far a6eld precipitated
the affair. The militia boys did
not seem to take to the business
seriously.
Camp Young had two governors
as guests Sunday, Gov, Durbln, of
Indiana, arrivek here at 5 o'clock
Saturday afternoon and Gov. Beck
ham yesterday. The two distin-
guished guests were royalty enter
tanned while in camp. Gov. Beck
ham had headquarters near those
of Gen. Murray. Gov. Durbin near
Brig. Gen. Mckee.
Private Fred Stone, of Battery
c. Louisville, has disappeared and
no one can tell where he. has gone.
1t is believed that he tired of camp
life and has returned to Louisville,
but this cannot be determined. He
will be arrested when found and
brought back here for trial by the
summary court.
The official count shows 9,269
men in camp to-day, divided into
657 officers and SOP men.

GREAT RAPIDTTY
In Track Laying All AIOug TIC.
Line.
Through Trains Promised Be,
twee HopkinsvilIe and Nash
vile by Oct. 20.

Two weeks ago when General
Manager Clarke announced that
trains would be running between
Hopkinsville and Nashville, on the
T. G. railroad, the statement was
not taken seriously. But two
weeks of work has greatly changed
the outlook and the announcement
now that an extension OF FIVE days
is all that is asked is backed by a
very different state of affairs.
To begin with, the track from
this end had been laid seven miles
Saturday night, to a point on the
Wheeler farm. Six miles was laid
last week and at this rate Oak
Grove will be reached in nine more
working DAYS. But the road is adj
vancing from the other end and it
is probable that the two ends will
meet this side of Oak Grove. At
any rate the whole line to Clarks-
Vile will be laid by the 18th. The
cut beyond Oak Grove is getting
along rapidly and will not delay
much. 1t is officially announced
from Nashville that the bridge over
the Cumberland river below Nash
vile will be completed so that trains
may be operated between Nashville
and Clarksville by Oct, 20.
This being true and making all
necessary allowances for accidents
and for bad weather, we may con-
fdently expect to see through
trains running from here to Nash
allie by November l.
The bridge over the Canton pike
near this city is now up and the
approaches regarded. AS soon as
the elevated roadbed is metaled the
pike will be ready for travel over
the crossing.
AT the Cox's mill crossing, tenn
porary bridge spans the pike, which
will later be replaced by a perma-
nent one.

day-Two for r1urder.

The case of Jim Will Anderson,

mining troubles, was called yester-
day. Both sides announced ready

continue in session all this week.
An indictment was returned against

was also indicted. Six indictments
were found against Buck Thomas,
col, Thomas was recently arrest
ed on a charge of stealing goods
from the L. g. N. railroad depot
here. He was out on bond, but was
rearrested alter the bills were
lound against him. Three of the
indictments charge grand larceny
and the other three petit larceny.
The jury in the case of the Com-
monwealth against Blaine Will
Jams and Fierce Ware, under in
dictment for the murder of John
Tandy AZ a colored festival near
Pembroke about a year ago, re-
turned verdict of acquittal Sat-
urday morning. Only two days
were consumed IN the trial of the
case, night sessions being held.
Dangerfeld Ware, a brother of
Fierce, was convicted of the same
offense and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. Another brother, War
field, who was out on bond, died
several months ago. Journey Ware,
another of the Ware brothers, was

BELKNAP AND OWENS
Talk For Republican State
Ticket Saturday.
Prof. Livingston Mccartney Also
Speaks at the Taber-
naCIe.

The Republicans had their first
campaign speaking Saturday and
three speeches were made.
Col. Morris B. Belknap, the nom
inee for governor, spoke at the
court house at II o clock to a crowd
ed house, a number of ladies being
present
Col. Belknap is not good speak
err, but he talks entertaiugly as o
business man and had no difficulty
in holding his crowd. He deals in
no personal abuse, and his speech
is free from any of the Objectionable
features that usually characterize.
the efforts Of the Republican SPELL
binders.
Col. Belknap concluded at noon
and left a. once for Fairview. where
he briefly addressed the reunion Of
of Confederate veterans and went
on to Elkton.
In the afternoon Maj. w. c. Ovens
and Prof. L. Mccartney spoke at
Union Tabernacle to a crowd OF
about 900 or 1900 people. Mr..
Mccartney spoke first for nearly an.
hour and Maj. Owens followed with
his usual speech of an hour and a
half. There was much of bitterness
and severe criticism in his speech,
but good deal that he said made
a deep impression and be was fre-
quently applauded by Democrats.
Towards the end of his speech he
destroyed any possible good i'm
pressions he may have made ON
Democrats by a defense of Caleb
Powers, and by an attack on the
jurles that have three times con-
victed him of completely sin Goebel's
murder.
