 efa1 Insfanees.

Union City, Tenn. Oct s.-Discus- sion has arisen here over the testi- mony of Colonel R. q Taylor. who was with Captain ouenton Rankin at Walnut Log last October when the lat ter was assassinated by night riders. It is declared that his testimony be- fore the grand jury differed in many points from his testimony at the trial and 1t is reported that the November grand jury here will be asked to com pare the two sets of testimony.
 It is charged that Colonel Taylor had testified before the grand jury that when the night riders were plac- ing the rope around Captain Rankin's neck and getting ready to murder him, some one of the members of the crowd present had interfered for Mir. Taylor and begged them not to take his life, because he was an old man; that when he was on the witness stand in the trial of the night riders. he denied that any one had interced- ed for him and that in several other material points his story differed from his sworn statements before the grand jury and that an attempt was being made to indict him and prosecute him for perjury.

COURT MARTIAL BEGINS.
BarceIonian Leader on Trial for Revo- IufOuary Acts

BarceIonian Leader on Trial for Revo-
 luionary Acts.
 Barcelona, Oct. 9--The trial by court martial of Ferrer. the former dictator of the modern school of Barcelona. who is accused of having been the princi- pal instigator of the recent revolution ary movement in Barcelona. is proceed ing here with open doors. Colonel La- calls has been appointed presiding judge of the court in the place of Col onel Aguerrol.
 The evidence submitted by the judge who conducted the preliminary invest igation, included some documents re- lating to the Spanish Republic. It also comprised letter from Republicans, in various foreign countries. as well as political and revolutionary docu- ments referring to the organization of A universal proletariat society. which, it is argued. proved Ferrer's complicity in the revolutionary agitation.
 It was emphasized in the course of the evidence that Ferrer conducted his campaign In connection with Senor Iglea, whose newspaper. El Progresso, threatened the government with rev. oiution if the troops were embarked for Morocco.
 The Investigating judge submitted the deposition of a witness who de- clared that he heard Ferrer say: 'If 1t is necessary, we will do as they did In Russia

: Dixie Played m Montgomery
 By Emmett Before The War

Arnold was forced to transcribe as the author played the air upon his violin Prof. Arnold has the original score foi brass and proposes to present 1t tc the Tennessee Historical society. Proi Arnold further states that after he had played the melody of Dixie pub lie occasions for more than year the words to the song made theii appearance in Montgomery and that the song was sung there before the Several persons living dverify the professors statement.
 It is a fact. that the Alabama soldiers sang Dixie as marching chorus long before the beginning of hostilities in the Civil war.
 Based on facts gleamed from auth entic sources Mir. Field Is of. the opinion that Dixie was sung in Eufaula Mobile. Montgomery. Selma and poss- ibiy Nashville long before 1t was pro- .iuced in New York. Emmett was traveiing and visited the cities named In January 1859 nearly one year pre- vious to the introduction of the song In Bryant's Ministreis. New York City.
 Emmett's right to the honor of the authorship of Dixie Is so firmly es- tablished that 1t seems superfiuous at this late date to contradict silly statements born of ignorance. A lady writer in a cheap magazine has re- vived the oft denied statement that Will s. Hays was the true author of Dixie
 At e banquet rendered Emmett in Louisville. Ky. in 1896 MT. Hays was a guest and made statement denying all responsibility for the claim. In the statement made then. which is not a record of memory but one of black and white, the newspapers hav- ing published 1t, Mr. Hays told of the manner in which the mistake occurred A lady friend, e teacher in female seminary desired to use Dixie In an entertainment. The poetry of Emmett jared upon her aesthetic nature and she requested Hays. who was proli- fic song writer. to prepare other verses which he did. These lines found their way Into print credited to him and in this way the statement that he was the author of Dixie was born.
 Daniel Decatur Emmett was born near Mt. Vernon, Knox county, Ohio. He left home in early manhood and spent the greater portion Of his life between the ages of twenty and forty in the south. visiting New York for a few weeks each summer. He did not visit his home for many years un- til the death of his prents and the acquisition of little homestead took him back for q short time: He lived in Chicago for many years and when too old to follow his profession re- turned to his home and lived alone. Near the end of his life he was re- conciled to his second wife. from whom he had been separated. and she cared for him until his death. He Is buried in the Episcopal church yard at Mt Vernon. Ohio, beside the body of his first wife.
