Capt. Sam W. Hawkins Dead.

Huntington, Tenn, Dec. 31.-One of
the best known men in the state passed
away when Capt. Samuel W. Hawkins
died here Saturday night. He had been
very i'll for a week or more with heart
trouble, but a few hours before death
came had got up from bed aud taken
dinner with friend who called on him.
Capt. Hawkins was born here Janua-
ry 8, 1874, and so lacked but few days
of rounding ont his G3d year. He
served in the Seventh Tennessee cayal-
ry, on the federal side, during the civil
war, rising from the ranks to the cap.
taincy Of company. He served with
distinction and earned his promotions.
After the war he studied law, and since
his admission to the bar has enjoyed a
very large practice. He was a staunch
republican and was United States dis
trict attorney for the western district
of Tennessee under President Harri-
son. He was the nominee of his party
against Hon. Robt. L. Taylor in 1888
aud made canvass that is still remem-
bered for its vigor. He was a member
of the M, E. Church, south, and also
of the Mason and Pythian orders. He
is survived by his wife and four sons

Patterson and the Senate.

Our Nashville correspondent writes
that Gov. Patterson is going in for the
senate, presumably for the place at
present occupied by Senator Frazier.
Maybe Mr.. McMillins star has really
set; If Mr.. Patterson shall select his
plan of campaign on lines reverse of
those chosen by Mr.. McMillin maybe
his will be in the ascendency. At the
same time he must take into account
the many vicissitudes his gubernatorial
duties will hedge about him. The
United States senate is q laudable am
5ition most governors have and few
achieve. Mr.. Patterson has an open
field, and we are willing that he should
start with clean sheet and be judged
by his record as governor Alone
Chattanooga Times.
The American is not advised of the
workings of Mr.. Patterson's mind or
the extent of his ambitions, but it be-
lieves it will not miss the mark far
when it ventures the opinion that Mr..
Patterson present intention is to make
Tennessee the best governor of which
he is capable, with no particular thought
of the future. II he gives the state
good service as governor, it may be
natural for him to aspire to the senate,
and it would likewise be natural for
the people to wish to further reward
him. But we do not believe he now
has any such plan in his head as the
Times intimates.
Mr.. Patterson had laudable ambi-
ton to be chief executive OF his state
He was nominated and elected after
bitter contests. He is, in our opinion,
content to fill the office to which he
has been elected, and not waste his
time and energies in scheming for fur
ther political preferment. Nashville

Cincinnati on the charge of obtaining

ter was adjusted and Slater was releas-

statement to-day concerning his presi-

"For the purpose of relieving the
burden imposed by recent publications

Of putting further inquiries to me, I
wish to say that my ambition is not po-
litical; that I am not seeking the pres
idential nomination; that ! do not ex-
pect to be the republican candidate, if
for no other reason because of what
seems to me to be objections to my
ability which do not appear to lessen
with the continued discharge of my
own official duty; but that l am not
foolish enough to say that in the i'm
probable event that the opportunity
for the great Office of president were to
come to me, should decline it, for
this would not be true"

H0LST0N RIVER ROAD TO BUILD TO
MORRIST0WN.
1t Is Understood 1t Will Connect With the
Southern at That Point.

The terminus of the Holston River
railway will not be Persia, Tenn, as
has been reported and expected since
the construction of the new road began
some months ago. 1t is now believed
that the road will come into Morris
town, Tenn, though it may connect at
Limestone.
A Bristolian who returned yesterday
from Rogersville says that the corps of
engineers are busy locating line for
the road beyond Persia, and that the
| spur Of the Southern from Bulls Gap
to Rogersville will not be utilized in
connecting this new road with the
Southern system. The change will ne
cessitate the construction of about
twenty five or thirty miles more OF
road, lying between Persia, Hawkins
county, to Morristown IN Hamblen
county.
The reasons assigned for not using
| the spur OF the Southern between Rog-
ersville and Bulls Gap as a connecting
link between the main line of the
Southern and the Holston River rail
way is that the road bed is not good
enough to Withstand the heavy traffic
which will pass over the Holston Val.
ley from the coal fields of Southwest
Virginia.
The road is being constructed from
Moccasin Gap, Va, where it connects
with the Virginia and Southwestern,
through Hawkins county, and will con
meet with the Southern at Morristown.
1t is expected that it will be completed
and in operation within two years.
The purpose underlying its conslruc.
tion is to afford feeder for the great
Southern system from the rich coal
and mineral fields of Southwest Vlr-
ginia. Bristol Herald.

Sale Will be Contaminated.

Nashville, Dec. 31.-The injunction
sued out in chancery Saturday by
John ID. Fletcher and Hayden Dodd to
restrain the issuance of warrants by the
comptroller in payment for the Herbert
Domain, was dissolved today. By le-
gal coup d'etat the compliments are left
without immediate recourse, and in the
meantime the sale of the land will be
consummated and the money paid. In
stead of moving the dismissal of the
bill, Gen. Gates, for the state, asked
that the injunction be dissolved, thus
estopping the compliments from max
ing an appeal and getting the matter
into the higher courts. An order dis
solving an injunction is an anciliary
proceeding, and an appeal will lie in
the chancery court from nothing but a
final decree.
The points raised were those already
outlined, and the injunction was dis
solved for want of equity in its face.
The complainants contended a particu-
lar legislative body was not authorized
to provide for the expenditure of state
funds after its authority as such body
had ceased to exist. This argument
was met by general statement of thu
impracticabilty of such policy, an(
the impracticability appearing to thu
satisfaction Of the court, the injunction
was dissolved by Chancellor Allison
from the bench.
It is stated tonight that, provided thu
title to the property is clear, the pur
chase will be consummated in ten days
time.

Zen. Patterson in Nashville.

Gov. ELECT Patterson is expected to
reach Nashville tomorrow and he will
remain here until after the general as
sembly convenes and probably until
the date for the inauguration. Gen.
Patterson will confer with his friends
and advisers regarding appointments
which have not yet been agreed upon
and will also put the finishing touchs
upon his message to the legislature.
The preparation of this document has
been engaging much Of his time and
attention since he left Nashville.
The general impression in political
circles is that three Of the principal APP
pointments under the new governor
have already been agreed upon. Those
are the offices of Adiutant General,
Commissioner of Agriculture and Pris-
on Commissioner for Middle Tennes-
see. According to current report all Of
these Offices will go to Davidson coun-
ty, and Hon. Tully r. Brown will be
Adjutant General, John Thompson
Commissioner Of Agriculture and Hen
ry B. Morrow the Prison Commission
er for Middle Tennessee. All Of these
gentlemen were active original parti-
sans of the new governor and contrib
uted materially to his nomination and
election.
AS previously announced W. d.
Scruggs, Of Fayette county, will be
Gen. Patterson's private secretary.
Since three of the best appointments
are to go to Middle Tennessee the gen.
eral impression now prevails that the
office of Superintendent of Public In
struction will be filled either by an
East Tennessean or by democrat
from the Western Division. From APP
parently authentic sources should the
appointment 60 to East Tennessee it is
learned that Superintendent r. l..
Jones, Of Chattanooga, will get the
place. The present incumbent, Capt.
:. A. Mynders, will almost certainly
be reappointed in the event that West
Tennessee lands this Office.
There is little room to doubt the re-
port that all OF the above appointments
were practically agreed upon at con-
ference recently held here between
Gen. Patterson and his friends and ad-
visers. At that time the indications
were that Superintendent Jones would
get the educational portfolio, but this
matter was not definitely agreed upon
and will probably be the subject of flu
ture conferences.

Of the House Of Representatives were
