Motorman Davidson. Of the Union

police headuarters last night that
shortly after 10 O'Clock while he was
on his trip to the depot, two negroes
boarded his car and when a secluded
part OF the road near the first bridge
was reached, pulled off the trolley.
The motormsr jumped off and ran
around the car to the rear, to replace
it, thinking it had only slipped off,
when one Of the negroes seized him
and the other went through him, tax.

ness, and the motorman was able to
furnish only a slight description Of
them.
The police think they must have
been the same negroes reported TO
have attempted to hold up two white
men near the wharf while the City Of
Memphis was there about midnight
No report was made at police head
quarters, but Lieutenant Harlan heard
that two negroes held up one white
man, but didn't get anything, and
when they held mp the next one who
came along, he drew pistol and per-
suaded them to get out of the neigh
borhood in a manner more rapid than
tignifed. No arrests have been made
In any of the cases.

in CIRCUIT COURT.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION Rem
DERED BY JUDGE HUSBANDS.

a decision settling an interesting
case was rendered before court sd =
journed yesterday by Circuit Judge
Husbands in the suit Of the admins
traitor Of II. B. Carpor against the
heirs and creditors. The deceased
lived in Marshall county until short
time before his death, when he was
living in Mechsnicsburg, this county.
He and his wife had separated and she
had sued for divorce and alimony.
While the suit was pending in court
they made an agreement between
themselves out of court, IL is claimed,
she to receive SO, 900 in full Of all de-
mands. She was paid 1880, and
about this time Carper died. There
were no papers to show Of the con
tract, and the widow sued the estate
for her share under the law, and the
heirs and creditors claimed she had
nothing coming to her because Of her
agreement. The court decides that
the compromise is void, not being in
writing, and awards the widow her
share Of the estate, subject to a deduc-
ton of the 81, 800 she received before
the death of her husband.
The case of James Mckinney against

CALLED TO CHICAGO
Preparations for Transferring
Master Mechanic Barton.
Other Changes That will Follow His
Expected Promotion.

Master Mechanic I. F. Barton, of
the local I. @. shops, was yesterday
called to Chicago to confer with the
higher officials relative to his reported
promotion to Master Mechanic at the
Burnside shops at Chicago.
1t has been reported for several days
that he was going to be transferr-
ed to Chicago and the call to Chicago
yesterday practically confirms the re-
port.
He has been in service longer than
any other master mechanic in the en-
ploye of the road and comes next in
line Of promotion. If he receives the
appointment it will come before June
and the following is the schedule OF
changes that will result: Mr.. Mike
Rova, formerly foreman here. will
come from the Nation, Ill shops
where he is master mechanic, and sue
coed Mr.. Barton, while Mr.. r. E. Full
mer, the present foreman Of the local
shops, will go to East st. Louis, max
ing a promotion for Foreman Turnball
who is now foreman under Fulmer.
It is thought that this is the correct
lineup of the changes.

The plan Of having the police Off
GERS make sanitary inspections seems
to be a success. The officers have
practically covered the town, and have
done it well, although the results are
not yet apparent, as the people have

put in order since the officers left no.
tices. One officer said the other day,
when we get through the people
will certainly know that we have been
along. We intend to have the city
cleaner than it ever was before. This
is very encouraging, and when the
officers return in few days and begin
to get warrants against those who
have failed to obey the health notices,
there will be a wild scramble among
the dilatory to do spring cleaning.
The energy displayed by the officers in
covering the city in 9 week indicates
that the plan adopted is much better
than the old.

THE RAINFALL.

Paducah has been visited by several
hard showers since yesterday, one Of
the worst being about 2 O'Clock this
morning. when the rain came down
in torrents for about ten minutes.
The total rainfall up to 7 O'Clock this
morning was about o. 80 of an inch,
and the subsequent showers swelled IL
to something over an inch.

Col. Dick Caldwell, in his forecast Of
the approaching campaign he made the
Democratic city committee today, is
mighty right when he says the Demo-
Gratis have got to get a move. They
will probably have to get worse than
that if any of them are elected. The
principal part of Kentucky Democ-
racy. that in Louisville, is at daggers
points, and seems in fair way to re-
main so. while the defeat of the Dem
'ocratio ticket in Paducah is freely pre-
dicted by many Democrats.

KENTUCKY's FEUDS.

II is commendable in our papers tc
defend the conditions that prevail in
Breathitt county, but unfortunately
they have no case, las they say in court.
Defending lawlessness will never elm
mate 1t, and what we are trying to do
just now in Kentucky is to remove the
source Of so much notoriety and hu-
initiation. There are assassinations
and murders and other forms of law
lessness elsewhere as well as bere, but
1t does not require the state militia to
secure the arrest and compel trial
of the malefsctors. In New York
and Chicago and other large cities
there are doubtless often more murders
in one day than there are in Kentucky
in a week or q month, but the state Of
society is not such in those places that
tine murderers are not arrested, but ar e
permitted to go free. On the contra
ry public sentiment is healthy and de-
termined, and sees that such offenders
are promptly and properly arrested
and punished. In Breathitt county,
Kentucky, it is the reverse. The pre-
vailing conditions prevented the ar
rest and conviction of such offenders,
and things finally became so bad that
soldiers had to be sent to protect citi-
zens during the enforcement of the
law. 1t is the demoralized conditions
that permit such state of affairs that
make Kentucky an object of wonder
and contempt with the people and
press of other states.
For instance, such as the following
is sent broadcast from one end of the
country to the other by such papers as
tho Globe Democrat:
"You may have noted that they are
holding court in Kentucky. The mil
itary is called out and infantry, caval-
ry and artillery will Go what it can to
see that justice reigns, if she has to
preside with the scales in one hand,
Winchester in the other. There is ev-
cry appearance that somebody is 60
ing to be placed in the penitentiary,
though. it may have to be done by
blowing in the door with cannon.
Kentucky is a strenuous state. Things
are taken very seriously there. II is
regarded as black calamity il the
Democrats or Republicans get into
power by either one or the other
large section Of the people. There is
not that confidence in the omniscience
OF Providence that one would wish to
see. That fine old state which has
supplied so many statesmen to other
states, which the North has to thank
for Lincoln, and whose emigrants have
adorned SC many western communi-
ties, would feel better If she would
smooth the wrinkles of care and ran
cor out of her corrugated brow and en-
joy a good laugh. Shoot less and
chortle more. Most of the things of
life are no killing matter. A well de-
veloped sense of humor is better
thing to carry around than = revolver.
Humor and honor eau very well get
along hand in hand. If there were
more fun in the makeup there would
be less fury. II those mountain feud-
lists could see how ridiculous their su-
persensitive LONELINESS is they would
stop shooting"
Let's not defend the evils in Breath
lit. but destroy them.

PURE FOOD LUNCHEON.
Household Economic Society the
Guest of Mrs Lyons.

A luncheon given TO the members Of the New
York State Household Economic Association by
Mrs Sarah Warath Lyons yesterday afternoon
in her apartments, at the Powellton, Broadway
and Ninety -seventh-st.. gave that organization an
object lesson n the artistic service OF pure foods
Preceding the luncheon. Mrs Lyons. who is a
lecturer in the Health course OF the Board OF
Education gave informal and interesting talk
on the dietetic side Of the food question.
A well balanced diet consists OF a variety OF food
that will meet the necessities of the individual.
said Mrs. Lyons. The sedentary occupations of life
demand a diet of the carbohydrates easily d.
gested starch foods These give heat and energy
to the body and with the addition Of green vege-
tables nuts and fruit should form their chief diet
With diet largely made up Of carbohydrates
there must necessity be plenty Of fresh air and
exercise in order to furnish the oxygen necessary
for perfect combustion AS for exercise, there is
nothing better than brisk walk. two or three
miles a day. stepping always on the ball OF the
foot-not the heel which jars the spine and pro-
duces headache. The digestion OF carbohydrates
begins in the mouth, and here followed an en-
phatic protest against the New-York habit Of
''bolting the food"

Mrs LYONS need the nitrogenous elements. such
