THIRD TIME
THE CHARM
Canncil To Remove A Technical
Doubt Passes Franchise
Three Times.

The City Council held another
meeting Wednesday night and gave
the second reading to the street
railway franchise for Hopkinsville
and passed it unanimously and or
dered it to be sold to the highest
bidder on August %, at 1890 a. m.
The franchise is for twenty years,
and gives the purchaser the right to
use the streets for cariines and also to
sell electric current for light and
motive power.
The FRANCHISE ordinance was really
passed for the third time, but owing
TO the fact that some verbal changes
were made between the first and
second passages, it was thought best
to remove away possible doubts to
pass the corrected ordinance again.

Harry SOmmerS' Own County
For Stanley

That an actual close poll Of fifteen
precincts of Hardin county shows
that in the senatorial race A. o.
Stanley will carry it by 384 votes
over j. CIV. Beckham, was the news
brought to Louisville by Magistrate
Sam L. Wagner, j. w. Cooper and
Hobson James, the latter two prom
inent lawyers of Elizabethtown.
They explained that the result Of this
poll, which does not include several
strong Stanley precincts, will bring
SANKEY'S plurality in Hardin county
over the $40 mark. They said the
remarkable gains that had been Made
by Stanley in Hardin and adjoining
counties had overturned all previous
calculations, but that Hardin county
was now safely in the Stanley col
umn and was all but conceded by
many in the opposition. Lou. Times

HOT DOSE
Will Use Some Plain English in
a Final Speech at Owens

(Owensboro lnquirer.)

The final speech of his campaign
will be made in Owensboro on Thurs
day night, July 80, when Hon. A. o.
Stanley win again address the voters
of this city in the interest of his can
didacy for United States senator.
Mr.. Stanley made speech in this
city several weeks ago, and was
greeted with large crowd. Since
that time he has also spoken at
Browns Valley, West Louisville and
Masonville in this county.
It was announced some time ago
that Mr.. Stanley would close his cam
paign by making another speech in
Greensboro. His address will be at
the court house at T;30 O'Clock p m.
1t is certainty that the courthouse
will be packed, as there are a large
number of people who will go to the
speaking believing that the distin-
guished orator will give out a lot Of
"hot stuff" and along a different
line from that of his former speech.
Mr.. Stanley spoke in the western
end of the state last week, and on
Friday made five speeches in Hen
derson county.

Mr.. Stanleg's attitude on the Ii
quor question is that he favOcs the
county unit law and is opposed to
the state wide and nation wide prOpo-
sitions, holding TO the same views as
President Wilson. Mr.. Beckham's
&ttitude is that he favors the county
unit law but absolutely refuses TO
tell how he stands on the other ques-
ticn. One tells you that he stands
with the Democratic president, the
other is trying to fool both sides in
tov oting for him, when he knows
one SI6e is being deceived.

BLUFF TO BE
CUT AWAY
Big Improvement To Be Made
On Railroads Tracks At
Early Date.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn July 22.-A,'
cording to plans of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad company, t h {
overhanging bluff by the Memphis
line track between Palmyra and Cor
banda e is to be cut away during the
months of this summer and fall.
The job will be the most extensive
improvement for the Memphis line
in several years and will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. 1t is un-
derstood that an expenditure of
$24, 600 has already been authorized
by the management of the road.
Considerable machinery and other
equipment for carrying on the work
has been assembled there. A large
steam boiler has been conveniently
located to be used in operating the
steam drills. A new side track has
been constructed about midway the
length of the bluff for the accom-
mediation of & self-propelled steam
derrick, to be used in removing any
larger rocks which may fall on the
tracks sitter a blast. Another side
track has been run into a shady hol-
low near big spring of crystal water
for the accommodation of several
sleeping and kitchen cars to be used
by the workmen.
After leaving 700-foot tunnel at
Palmyra. most of, the track from
there 10 COrbandale, a distance of
about two miles, is laid on shelf
blasted into the side of the bluff. At
many points the overhanging rock
was left when the road was built in
1856, and since the limestone has
disintegrated by exposure, and from
time to time boulders have broken
loose and fallen TO the track, delay
ing traffic, and in some instances
derailed trains and throwing them
down the precipice on the opposite
side, The last instance of this kind
occurred only a few months ago
when southbound freight train ran
into one of the boulders, and the
locomotive was thrown into the river
fifty feet below. killing the fireman
and injuring the engineer.
According TO the plans, not only
are the dangerous overhanging points
to be removed, but the track is also
TO be Strengthened. This will be made
possible by cutting back the bluff
and building out the enbankments
where the track now swings back
into the hollows from the river. Ill
IS understood the federal govern
ment has granted permission for the
to broaden its enbank-
nents twenty feet into the Cumber-
and river.
