Anarchv,s Latest Crime-

The senselessness Of anarchist methods
has a fresh illustration in the attempt.
happily an abortive one. on the life OF
Pope Plus. 1t is impossible to conceive
sane motive for the commission Of
such a crime. The authority Of the Pope
IS almost wholly Of a spiritual and eccle-
siastical character, and 1t does not come
into conflict at any point with the polti-
cal aims Of the anarchist propaganda,
save as his great influence may be WELD
ed against the terrorist cult.
Personally, he is one of the most
amiable of men, and his goodness and
nobility Of character have endeared him
to the whole world. His taking off would
have accomplished absolutely nothing in
furtherance Of the anarchist propaganda,
while it would have brought down upon
the terrorists the anathemas Of the civil
lized world, which must henceforth reckon
with a new form Of terrorist crime,
directed against those in spiritual author
ity
The attempt on the life OF the Pope will
but accentuate the necessity for the stern
est measures against anarchist Outrages
on the part Of all civilized powers.

Horses. Mules. and Jacks.

The raising of horses. mules and
jacks is a leading industry in Ten
nessee, where t he best of grass
grows, where streams are abundant
and clear, and where the climate is
so mild that stock suffers no incon-
venience except in very rare and
briet seasons. The farmers of this
State, encouraged by the demand
for superior grades and the advance
in prices over those of recent years,
are giving more attention to the
raising of stock and engaging in
the business on a much larger scale
than formerly
The eyes of those desiring the
best class of horses, mules and
jacks are turned toward this sec
tion, as it is we'll known that here
are to be found the finest specimens,
and as the matter of price is not a
serious obstacle, the trade is con-
stantly increasing. Animals are
raised in the South at comparatively
low cost, and there is always mar
ket for the product, buyers being
on the lookout for what is wanted,
and the large number of purchases
made show that they regard Ten
nessee as one of the best States in
which to secure 6ne-blooded stock.
The organization of county and
State fairs has been of vast benefit
to farmers everywhere, encourag-
ing them in the breeding of finer
classes of animals, and providing
a demand that is not bounded by
State lines, but extends over the
United States. The offering of lib
eral premiums is an incentive to
the best in each county and
demonstrate tn e results of good
blood and careful attention. This
is one of the many objects Of the
Tennessee State Fair Association,
and from the number of entries re-
,eived daily, it is confidently pre-
dicted that the horse, mule and live
stock departments of the State
Fair in Nashville, next October,
will far surpass any heretofore seen
IN this section. The half-fare rate
granted by the railroads for the
round trip should insure inn
nense attendance of stock breeders.

JUDGE MAIDEN
Sets Aside Verdict of Jury
for $4,000
In Walker-Edwards Suit; New
Hearing in September.

Hearing III september.
Not lacking in sensation, Judge
Maiden's decision last Thursday
afternoon in setting aside the ver-
dict of the jury created storm OF
comment. 1t will be recalled that
the jury sat for thirty days hear
ing the evidence and the argument
in the Walker Edwards suit, a
resume of which appeared in this
paper, also the Judges charge,
and then without wasting time,
returned verdict for the plaintiff,
Miss Lola Walker, for $21 900.
The charge itself foreshadowed
the opinion held by the Judge,
but the jury never swayed an
toto. 1t was understood that half
a dozen were in favor of a verdict
for $4,000, full amount sued for,
while others ranged down to
$4,000. One man, however, re-
fused to bu dge cent below
$2l 900 and at that figure the ver-
dict was fixed. Whereupon mo
tion was entered by defendant for
new trial and that Court vacate
and set aside verdict of jury. The
motion recite d among other
grounds that verdict was against
the weight of the evidence and
unsupported by the evidence.
The molten set out at length to
particularize wherein the evidence
failed to convict defendant and
points in which the Court erred
in charging the jury.
Counsel for defense was given
until Thursday afternoon to pre-
pare the motion. At the time set
Court hesra the argument, and, as
his charge foreshadowed, held to
the opinion that motion was we'll
taken, and that the verdict of the
jury was not sustained and sup
ported by the evidence in the case.
Therefore the Court ordered and
adjudged that the verdict of the
jury rendered in this case be and
the same is set aside and vacated |
and for nothing held, and motion
for new trial was allowed and I
granted and case reinstated on
docket for new trial and set for
hearing at the next term of Court,
on heels of docket. The term be-
gins first Monday in September.
Following the Judges order q
storm of comment ensued all over
the county and some very caustic
criticisms were indulged in at
the expense of Judge Maiden.
Judge Maiden spoke for two
hours in reviewing the evidence,
and in summing up the case he
found that plaintiffs statement re-
specting the promise of marriage
was aeither corroborated nor sup
ported by direct testimony, and
hence could not be sustained.
What seemed to him to destroy the
force of the plaintiffs statement
was the appearance Of suggestions

Walkers desire for q theatrical
engagement and her purpose in j
going to New York, the most con. !

JOINT rRAcKAGE.
Significant Policy of Southern and
Illinois Central.

Significant Policy of Southern and
Illinois Central.
The Mobile & Ohio Railroad is
preparing to spend $1,000, 900 In and
near Jackson, Tenn, we'll S
doubling its tracks from Jackson
to Corinth, Miss. Since this an.
nouncement was made any amount
of speculation has been INDUCED in
about the plans of the Southern
and the M. g. o. with respect to
West Tennessee and as far east as
Nashville, i'll fact.
At Jackson the c o m pany will
greatly increase the capacity of its
shops, and build new yard over a
a mile long and something like 20
feet wide. The yard is intended,
to large extent, to accommodate
the traffic from the double track
line which will be used jointly by
the M. g. o. and the Illinois Gen.
trail. This track will be used by
the Illinois Central to TIE junction
of the new line the |. G. is building
to Birmingham.
These facts have been officially
stated, but there is number of
railroad men who think that this
does not tell the story, and that as
soon as certain things can be ac-
complished the Southern and M. g.
O. will begin their important work
between Nashville and the Missis-
sippi River. One OF the projects
seriously discussed now is that the
Southern will build from Nashville
to connection with the Mobile &
Ohio just south of Cairo with
branch to Paducah, and give the
Frisco Railroad entrance into Nash
vile over that line for certain con-
cesslons elsewhere These three
roads have many things in common
in many sections of the country,
and theuseveral joint deals made |
recently bear out this conclusion to |
4 considerable extent. The Frisco |
and the Southern jointly own the
1ew terminals at New Orleans,
who're the Frisco enters that city /
over the tracks OF the Yazoo line
If the Illinois Central. In the Bir.
ningham district the three lines
Ire again mixed up in \ number of
Ways. Th c Illinois Central will
lse part of the M. & O. and the
Southern line to Birmingham, as
veil as part of the Frisco and
Mobile g. OLio's new line to Bir-
ningham is over the Frisco for a
hort distance. The Illinois Central
nd the Southern are jointly inter-
sted in the Nashville Terminal
and are closely connected
a several other ways and places.
1t is true that these joint arrange
tents have been to the mutual ad-
antage of all the roads concerned
every case, but there are a num-
er OF people who think that these
eals are significant and Will bring
bout the construction of several
lore lines in this section.
