ED VAUGHN GETS
LIME IN EYES

While measuring up lime in a small
box Saturday w. Ed Vaughn had
the misfortune to have one of his
eyes filed with the very fine fioury
substance. In some way air had got
ten under the lime while being poured
into the box and while STOPPING over
and shaking it down stream shot
out of one corner and hit Mr.. Vaughn
squarely in the eye covering the ball
with thin coat and burnt the eye
badly, The physician succeeded in
removing the greater part of the lime,
but was compelled to use a soluble
substance in order to remove a por-
ton of it from the ball While the
pain is fearful it is not thought that
the eye will be injured.

PROMPT TRIAL OF
PORTER NEGRO
CONVICTED OF ATTEMPT TO AS
SAULT AND SENT TO PENITEN-
TIARY FOR 20 YEARS.

Prompt punishment was meted out
at noon Tuesday to the negro, Robert
Steele, alias Porter, who was detected
in the room of young lady near Big
byville in the early hours of Monday
morning, new record for the courts
of Maury being established in this
case.
The young lady discovered that
some one was in her room at about
2 o'clock in the morning and her
screams frightened the man away.
Steele was suspected and was placed
under arrest about five hours after the
incident, and was lodged in Jail here
by noon Monday. The papers were at
once taken to the Grand Jury and that
body returned an indictment at noon
today. Steele was Immediately
brought into court and admitted his
guilt. On his plea of guilty a jury
was empannelled and the negro made
his statement before this jury. The
jury retired and returned in two min,
utes assessing the maximum penalty,
tweyty-one years in the penitentiary.
Judge Holding called Steele before
him and sentenced him. He will go
to the penitentiary as soon as an offi-
Ger is sent for him, which will doubt
less be this week
In the suit for divorce filed by Mrs.
Mackie Ward against Rufus Ward, a
suit which came up from the Mt.
Pleasant neighborhood, the bill was
dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff.
The business of the court is almost
and court will doubtless
adjourn by Friday.

DR.. FIEST'S TRIAL
WAS CONTINUED
NOTED CASE GOES OVER UNTIL
THE NEXT TERM OF cRIMI-
NAL COURT.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 24-The
second trial of Dr. j. Herman Feist
for murder was set for next Tues
day, June 80, but the case has been
continued, because it has been found
that 1t was impossible to get it ready
for trial at this term. The work in
volved in getting together the mass Of
testimony that was offered on the
first trial is enormous, since many wit
nesses have to be brought here from
different states.
There are many who believe that
Or. Feist will not be tried again, ar
guing that unless the state can secure
additional evidence as to venue it
would be useless and waste of mon
sy to bring the case to trial again.
rhe first trial consumed twenty-eight
lays In the criminal court, and the
cost Of It was very heavy. DR.. Feist
las not yet returned from Alabama.

GOV. JOHNSON FOR
SECOND PLACE
MINNESOTA MAN IN THE LEAD
DESPITE STATEMENT TO
THE CONTRARY.

DENVER Colo, June 24.-Even
among the few Democrats of promi
nence who have come to Denver to at.
tend the Democratic convention which
will be held in this city beginning two
weeks from today, the choice of a can
didate for vice president is the leading
theme and it is already evident that
in this respect at least the convention
will be counterpart of the Republi-
can convention at Chicago.
AS choice among candidates, Gov.
Johnson has decided lead. Little at
tention is paid to the announcement
that he is not candidate and would
not accept. Those who favor him say
that while he has been successful in
Minnesota, he has not won such a
place in his party that he could afford
to decline a nomination for second
place on Democratic ticket They
contend that he is the one available
man who would properly supplement
Mr.. Bryan's candidacy say that he
has been put forward as the candidate
for the Presidency by eastern Demo-
gratis. and urge that those Democrats
would support him just as strenuously
for Vice President and declare they
must have him" The favoritism to-
ward the Minnesota man for second
place does not contemplate the possi-
oility of Mr. Bryan's failure, but even
n the face of instructions there are
some who contend that the Nebraskan
cannot win on the first ballot and that
therefore, the Minnesota man has
lighting chance. This contetion is ev-
IDENTIFY made, however, in the hope |
hat there may be a contest worthy of /
he name and by those who would like |
o see the convention prolonged.
The friends of Gov. Johnson say that
egardless Of the prospects their candi-
ate will be placed in nomination for
he first place and as rule they re-
use to discuss the probability of his
eing named for Vice President.

Dudley P. Allen and c. w. Stone we're
much pleased with the progress he
made today and are of the opinion
that the necessity for an immediate
operation has been passed. Howev-
er, they advised Mr.. Sherman To have
the trouble removed as soon as he
shall gain his normal health.
Mr.. Sherman's condition was best
indicated by the reading of his tenn
perature, which showed a general low
ering of two and half degrees since
last night The physicians considered
this a hopeful sign
Mrs. Sherman was in much better
spirits today. She has almost recov-
cred from her exhaustion following the
long trip here on hot day. 1t is not
expected Mr.. Sherman will be able to
leave the hospital before next Sun
day. He attended to his correspond
ence today and during the afternoon
sent telegram of coincidence to Mrs.
Grover Cleveland.
while Mr.. Shermans condition
was hourly growing better, and there
is every reason to anticipate his
speedy recovery, yet his illness is of
such nature that there may be a
critical turn at any time Dr. Carter,
the attending physician, said today.
I do not anticipate sudden change.
The patient is under constant watch"
During his waking hours the candi-
late conversed freely with those at his
bedside. He suffered no pain. During
