DATE NAMED.
Loose Tobacco Market Will Open
Up Jan. S.

The loose tobacco market will
open in Hopkinsville on Tuesday,
January 5. There have been about
$4,000 pounds received already for
sale loose on the floor, and it is
probable that $4,000 pounds of the
weed will be offered the buyers on
the first day. There were no sales
on the breaks this week, but 70
hogsheads were disposed of pri-
vately.
This brings the sales for the year
up to 10000 hogsheads. Receipts for
the year amount to 1880 hogsheads.
Loose buyers have been more
active during the past ten days
and few sales in the country are
reported.

BRAKEMAN SANDBAGGED.
Although In Dangerous Condition
He Will Probably Recover.

e. d. Crawford, a colored l. G
brakeman, was sandbagged by two
negroes in the Princeton yards and
badly beaten. Crawford had just
been paid off and had about 500 in
his pocket. The motive was evil
robbery. 1t is thought the men who
assaulted the brakeman came in the
direction of Hopkinsville and officer
Wilson, of Princeton, made a trip
as far as Gracey, but failed to To-
cate them. Crawford was taken to
the Company 5 hospital at Paducah.
His condition is serious, but he will

. Condition Of Injured.

Reports Fl ON the various hospit.
ais show that the condition Of pa
tients from Rust Hall are, as a
whole satisfactory, and it is hoped
that the number Of deaths resulting
from the FIRE wilhnot be increased.
From present indications, all the
sufferers will recover, or, at least,
they have chance for recovery,
except three or four of the most
desperately Injured.
Possibly the most serious case at
present is that of Bertha Morford,
at the City Hospital, and her death
may be expected at any moment.
She is suffering with a broken back.
Her condition this morning was not
so satisfactory as 1T has been hith-
erto, Ind little hope is entertained
tor her recovery.

piration. He first asked for a vote to-
morrow and then for Monday and

request was refused.
] think, said Mr.. Cullom. ''the sen
atOr is making a great mistake. The
whole country recognizes his great ser
vice for the past twenty years in the
interest of a canal connecting the two
oceans. Indeed, ne may be called the
father of the Isthmian canal, but it GER
tainly would seem that by his present
opposition TO the Panama treaty he is
strangling his own offspring"
To this Senator Morgan replied with
spirit. He said that his interest in a
canal is now as great as ever, that il
was. indeed, so great that he felt that
he owed it to himself and the country
to exert himself to the utmost to pre-
vent the ratification of treaty which
he felt to be so full Of defects as the
pending agreement. He then com
planned of the refusal of the senate to
allow him to discuss the question in
open session. The country ought to
know what it was getting into, but it
could not so long as the doors were
closed every time the treaty was mem
toned Most senators believe that the
refusal to fix time for vote means
that the treaty cannot be ratified be-
fore the close of the present session.
