Very Short Titoae.

Washixgtojj, Jan. 4. The Father ofthe House of Representatives, the cham-pion of protection, the veteran legisla-tor, Wm. D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,has probably been on the floor offloor of the House for the lasl timev Onthe day when. tbe Fif tj-fir- st Congressassembled Judge Kelley was In hisplaces a&i since that time he has prob-ably been at the Capitol twice or threetimes. His enfeebled condition was thesubject of much comment, but only afew know tbe nature of the judge's ail-ment. It is now fully developeS andits activity is most virulent. Just be-

low the rear of Judge Kelley's jaw is a,cancer, and it is spreading rapidly intothe throat. So quickly has it workedthat the afflicted man can only speak inwhispers, and then not without pain.The swallowing of nourishment is amatter of considerable difficulty andlocomotion can only be indulged in to avery small extent. Several of JudgeKelley's relatives have been here dur-ing the last few days, and his daughter,Mrs. Hosmer, wanted to take him homewith her, but his condition was suchthat removal was regarded as impossi-ble by the physicians, so the judge isstill in his room at the Biggs House.

SUICIDE IN vlAIL.

Willis Gaylord, a Once Prosperous NewYork Merchant, Ends II in Life by Hang;Iur In the Philadelphia Jail.PiiiLADELrniA, Jan. 3. Willis Gay-lor- d,

who had been in official custodyfor nearly two months, and who had en-joyed more privileges than have usual-ly been accorded to a man charged witha crime, committed suicide in the coun-ty prison this Jiorning by hanging him-ee- lf

to the bats of his cell. Gaylord'scase is a vety peculiar one. He wasabout forty years of age, finelyformed, and from his actionsand speech very much of a gentleman.He was a prosperous merchant in NewYork City until about three months ago,when matters began to take a turn forthe worse and he found himself unableto meet his obligations. The most im-

portant of these was a debt of $30,000which Frederick A. Babcock, of NewYork, alleged was due him. Suit wasbegun against Gaylord in New Yorkcourts, but he left the city and came toPhiladelphia. Babcock followed andhad him arrested.

of the notorious Nihilist leader, PierraGross, at Warsaw, has been productiveof disclosures far more startling thanany of the alarming revelations whichhave come to the police within the lastfew days, appalling as they have been.From letters and documents concealedtn his clothing the most damning evi-dence is obtained against many personshigh in imperial favor and authority,contemplating not the assassination ofthe Czar alone, but the murder of theentire reigning family as well. Al-ready many of the conspirators havebeen taken into custody, and those stillat largo are under espionage or beingtracked by relentless police officials tothe end of their lodgment in prison,whence they will almost certainly go totheir death. Several of the implicatedpersons were apprehended while at-tempting to leave the country.

o'clock this morning, and a work-man named Maurice DriscolL, of EagleBridge, N. Y., was killed. Two othermen who were at work on tbebridge were injured. Driscoll wason top " of the truss on the northside when it went over, and was car-ried down with the iron work into theriver seventy feet below. He wasprobable killed before striking thewater. A workman named McCloskeywas rescued from the river after the ac-

cident, being found hanging to one ofthe stringers of the bridge. Aboutfthirty men were at work on the spanrbut as soon as the trusses began to set-tle they were given warning and all butthe three mentioned escaped. Somepedestrians and carriages had narrowescapes.

The Rights of no Extradited PrisonerMaintained.

New York, January 4. Judge Brownof the United States District Court, yes-terday issued an order releasing fromthe Ludlow-stre- et jail Simon Baruch,the Austrian who was held in default of$20,000 bail in a suit brought by hisbrother Daniel to recover bonds whichit is alleged he embezzled while actingas the manager of his estate. Baruchwas first arrested on a charge of steal-ing the bonds from the Austrian Gov-ernment, and brought from New Jerseyto this State. He was subsequently dis-charged, but was before hecould return to the State from which hewas taken. Judge Brown gave himtwenty-fou- r hours to get back to NewJersey.

Impending Trouble.Jackson, Miss., Jan. 3. It is not im-

probable that it conflict- - may occur Jan-uary 0, the day on which will be .heldthe election of city officers for Jackson.A circular letter appeared yesterdayfrom the Republicans which has ma-terially increased . the breach betweenthe two parties, and it would requirebut a trifle to bring about serious trouble.The more conservative nen of bothsides, however, are endeavoring to bringabout a better feeling, and are advisingtemperate utterances and deprecatingacts not in every way consistent withthe law.

Tn anniversary of the maficipationproclamation was celebrated At Nashvillelast week. This celebration brings to mindthe fact that the negroes In Tennessee werenot emancipated by Mr. Lincoln and wre.not included in his procKmatfeB. Of Janu-ary 1, 19G3. In bis proclamation freeingthe glares, President Lincoln excepted thealares in the State of Tennessee, and in-

cluded only the stares in the States of Ar-kansas, Texas, Louisiana, (with a few par-ishes excepted), Mississippi, Alabama,Florida, Georgia, North and South Caro-lina and Virginia. The glares in Tennes-see were not freed by Mr. Lincoln onJanuary 1, 18G3, or any other time. Theywere emancipated by the (State of Tennes-see in 186. and before the adoption of theThirteenth Amendment to the Constitutionof the United States. Thus it will be seenthat emancipation and uegro suffrage inTennessee were granted by the State. Mr.Lincoln iu his proclamation not only didnot free the negroes in Tennessee, but byexcepting them kept them longer . inslavery. .

Thb Supreme Court last week decidedthe case of the Louisville & NashvilleRailroad Company rs, J. M. "Wilson, ad-

ministrator of IV. M. 'Wilson, deceased."Wilson was employed as "a baggage-maste- r

by the Louisville & Nashville Rail-road Company, and was killed in an acci-dent on the Decatur division by the negli-gence, it was alleged, of an engineer whewas running a single engine which col-

lided with the accommodation train onwhich Wilson was employed. "Wilson wasriding in the cab of the engine. By leav-ing his car Wilson broke one of the rulesof the company, and the court thought hewas out of the line of bis duty. The Su-preme Court said the lower court shouldhave instructed the jury that if Wilsonwas baggagemaster Lis duty required himto remain in the baggage-ca- r, and shouldhe be injured while violating one of therules he could not recover damages. Thecourt held that in the trial the judge wasin error in not so charging, and the casewas reversed.

Nat Baxter, Jr., President of theSouthern Iron Company, is authority forthe statement that in a few days a furnacewill be put in operation at Chattanoogato manufacture steel by the open-heart- h

S. W. PlLB is in jail in Nashville chargedwith complicity in the murder of UnitedStates Commissioner McDonald in one ofthe upper Cumberland counties three orfour years ago. It is claimed that Pile'sbrother did tbe killing, and that S. W.Pile was a party to the crime. Pile wasunder bond to appear before tbe CircuitGeatV-E- V tue April --term last year, butskipped his bond. He was captured inSouthern Kentucky by Deputy UnitedStates Marshal A. B. Logan. Pile will beheld until the April term of the CircuitCourt for trial. -

Mart a household in Nashville is nowbeing visited by influenza. Business menwere first to display symptoms of tbeepidemic which is accounted for by tbefact that they first came in contact withtravelers from the infected sections. Thereare a few cases under medical treatment.The majority of the people treat the dis-

ease as they would a cold, and do not callin a physician. The type is mild. Dr. J.Berrien Lindsay, Secretary of the StateBoard of Health, recalls that the cholerafollowed the last visitation of the inQueuzain Nashville, but this he regards as a merecoincidence, and does not have any appre-hension that it will be repeated this year.

What amounts to a panic exists amongthe farmers of Davidson and adjoiningcounties in Middle Tennessee. A splen-

didly organized band of borse-thiev- es hasbeen operating there for months withoutlet or hindrance. It is estimated thatwithin the last six weeks 203 horses havebeen stolen and run into Kentucky fast-nesses, where it is next to impossible tofollow tbetn or the thieves. Not one ofthese animals has been recovered. It issupposed that the thieves have a regularunderground route into Cincinnati, wherethe horses are sold. Gen. W. H. Jackson,of the famous Belle Meade Farm, JohnOverton and the Cockerills are preparinga farmers' association, which, with anabundance of money to back it, will em-

ploy adequate and competent forces toannihilate the robbers.

Jcdgi McAllister last week delivereda verbal opinion in one of the damagesuits of W. T. Ownby against the Unionand American Publishing Company, whichcame up on a demurrer filed by the de-

fendants. Judge McAllister overruled thedemurrer to the second, third and fifthcounts of the declaration, and the casewill go to trial before a jury on thesecounts. This was one of the three suitsbrought by Mr. Ownby to recoveri$25,000in each case, alleged to have been sus-

tained by slanderous publications pub-lished in the American.

A tall brick flue extending above theseventh story of Baxter Court, Nashville,but not tied to the building, fell last week,and crushed in the roof of the Bauneroffice, doing several hundred dollars' worthof damage and destroying considerablematerial in the Banner composing-rooms- .

The paper had not gone to press, aud somenews matter was pied. Tom Clark andBattle Clark were sitting on opposite sidesof a table in the composing-room- , and aheavy beam crushed the table to splinters.Several men were slightly injured.

The postoffice at Rutherford, a stationtwo miles north of Trenton on the Mobile& Ohio Railroad, was broken into lastweek. A large lot of jewelry was takenfrom the store, together with several dol-

lars' worth of stamps and $1.30 in money.No clew to the robbers.

The authorities ol Nashville are tryingto cut a dash with electric lights on thestreets. The city already has 150 arclights in operation, and the Board of Pub-lic Works have just issued an order for 100more. This will dispel the darkness prettythoroughly. The cost is twenty-thre- e andone-ha- lf cents for each arc light per night.

The Cherry - Morrow ManufacturingCompany, which is named for two men,neither of whom is a member of the cor-poration, have taken charge of the wagon-work- s

The City Council of Trenton have takensteps to erect an elegant station-hous- e atan early date. This ts something that isbadly needed, as the corporation prisonersare now confined in the county jail, andthe Council hold their meetings in a roomat the court-hous- e.
