The Fublio Building- at Clarksville Surety, and the River Will be Locked and Dammed. From all appearances Congressman Washington is hard at work in favor of improving the Cumberland river. Since the statistics sent from here have been in Ins possession he has made an impression that will be of great benefit to Clarksville and the country generally. A dispatch sent the Nashville Banner yesterday says: Congressman Washington appeared before the Rivers and Harbors Com mittee yesterday afternoon and this morning and made a strong argu ment in favor of a lock and dam system for the lower Cumberland river. He believes the system will be adopted. It is generally under stood that the upper Cumberland river, between Nashville and Hum side, will receive $250,000 in the bill. CLA RKMVI LIjF.'S BUILDING. The House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds to-day re ported favorably Congressman Wash ington's bill for a public build ing at Clarksville, but re duced the appropriation from $7o, 000 to $35,000. Thirty-five thousand dollars is a good start. It Ueta There All the Same. The LKAF-CiinoNicr.E was denied all access to the county financial agaut's report and was refused even a proof of any part of it until Judge Tyler's Democrat, containing the re port, was on the stieets yesterduy af ternoon. Notwithstanding this the long re port of 25,000 ems was put in type in this office and ready for the pre soon after dark, and the Si:mi-Wi:ekly gave it all this morning. Judge Ty ler and his Democrat accomplished nothing by their little piece of petty spite work, not even a jarring of the well-ordered system of the Leaf- Chroniolk's composing rooms. Again, if the Leaf-Ciihomci.k has been instrumental in mousing public opinion on this question and calling forth this report, it has done Mont goniery county a service her people will not forget. Oordon-Miriwether. Wednesday, just across the line in Todd county, the wedding bells were set a-ringing and an expectant audi once assembled at the homo of Douglas Meriwether to witness the marriage of his fair daughter, Miss Nannie M., to Prof. J.

A feature of the occasion was an elegant reception at the residence of James II. Ferguson, where a sumptuous repast was served. Prof, (iordon and his bride both have many friends in this city where they are highly esteemed. He, though quite a young .nan, has won high rank in the honorable profes sion of teaching. His bride is tin ac complished oman, fitted by nature and education for the companion ship of such a man. Henry Watterson To-niht. lion. Henry Watterson, the dis tinguished editor of the Courier- Journal, arrived here this morning, and is the guest of his relative, Mrs John D. Moore, lie will lecture to night at Elder's opera-hous on "Money and Morals." Mr. Wutter son is no stranger to the people of Clarksville. He is personal ly known to very many, antl as a brilliant journalist, a pleas ing lecturer and gentleman of distinguished ability, he is known throughout this broad land a man of national fame who by his genius and lower of intellect has moulded public sentiment and leads democra cy in opposition to corruption and evil methods in politics, wielding an influence for good which but very few men have been able to exercise. As a m tter of course the opera house will be crowded to-night with an intelligent audience to hear his lecture. Tribute of Respect. The members of llayden's Band are very much grieved at the death of Willie Michel, one of their members. He was very much liked by all the hand. He was a faithful member, always at meetings and on time. He took a very great interest in the band. Me was an apt scholar and some day would have made his mark. He will he missed in business as well us among his musical friends. We rpgret to say he is gone, but as it is a debt we all have to pay, we say peace be with him. The band is trying haid to keep up the organization, as it was bis desire. The hand has resolved to carry their instru ments in mourning for thirty days. By order of Band. Clarksville, April 11, "M.

I Judjr Tyler'e Beport The Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle pre sents Judge Tyler's seventeen years report for the people to read and di gest if they can. Of course the Leaf-Chronicle could not think of offering a general criticism at this early date, no mortal man can tell anything about it except after careful examination. It may be all right as the magistrates say it is ; it certainly accounts for large sums of money coming in during the time and als'i gives the amounts disbursed, but does it show bow and for what it was disbursed ; and that is the point which several writers have been insisting upon all along as we under stand. Nobody doubts that the money had beeo received and disbursed, but wbat bas it been dis bursed for is the question. FROM RUDOLPH TOWN.

This event was solemnized at Bethel church, this county, the 3d inst. in the presence of a host of friends, who wish for them never ending halcyons on the turbulent stream of time Miss Lena will be greatly missed from the circle where she has shown so brightly for the past few years, and all feel assured that Mr. Cage has won a prize that will be quite an ornament to his little home, and a charm that he shall ever be willing to shield from life's troubles and cares.

Bow it Wa Settled, Who Got the Money And by Whom it Was paid-Read Aid Pdader. The report of the Jail Commis sioners as published in to-day's semi weekly Leaf-Chronicle does not give all the facts in the jail case. It reported that the matter had been settled by the county, paying to the sheriffs attorneys the sum of $450, the sheriff paying half the cost, and that the State allowed $1,991,40 to go as a credit on the judgment of the State against the county. The infor mation the Leaf-Chronicle has on the subject issubstantially as follows : The State paid no jail bills to the county from December 1, 1887,to Apr. 19th, 1889, on account of the faot the county had been collecting from the State, wrongfully, certain sums for the board of prisoners from 1871 to 1887, arid instituted suit to recover those payments back, and secured judgment against the county for the sum of $3,492.72 and the interest from the rendition of this judgment by the Supreme court to March 26, 1890, aggregating $3,652.72. Sheriff Staton claimed that he was entitled to back pay from the time he demanded the jail, and this was compromised by paying him $2,000. The State owed for the board of pris oners from December 1, '87, to April 19, 1889, the day Staton took charge of the jail, the sum of $3,534.60. Out of this sum Staton received $1,550.00 and $450, in a check from Judge Tyler, making the $2,000 agreed upon, and the State Judgment of $3,552.72 was paid in full by the county. The statement of the jail commissioners as published in a con densed form this morning leads one to believe that the county received all it claimed from the State and paid the State $1,568.12 and Staton $450, when ' the fact is the State col lected from the county the full amount of its judgment and paid to Sheriff Staton the sum for back board, $3,534.G0, of which sum he paid to the county for the expense of jail during the sixteen and one-half months previously named, the sum of $1,984.60 and received the check of $4.50 00 as stated above. Staton had a suit in Chancery against the county for back pay prior to the time he went into possession of the jail, and the county agreed to pay him $2,000 to settle that case, to which he agreed, and it was paid. The jail muddle cost the county just $5,552.72. The complete statement of the way the jail muddle was finally settled has never been published in the city papers, and people can have an idea of how much that little lacket cost the county by carefully reading the above. Considerably Bruised. Fred. Armstrong, while coming down the hill just beyond the upper Red river bridge on a bicycle last evening, took a "header," landing on the rough pike and bruising himself considerably.

Last Say's Session of the State Medical Society. The State Medical Society has been In session at Memphis this week am adjourned Wednesday night. There was a good number of the State physicians in attendance and some valuable medical statistics were published. The Memphis Com mercial gives much of its space to the meeting, and furnishes the fol lowing: The report of the State Board of Medical Examiners shows the number of physicians registered In each county by county court clerks. In Montgomery county there are forty-one who have regis tered. Thirty-five of them are grad uates, while only six are non-graduates. The total for the State showed 3,176 registered to practice medicine, of whom 1,680 are graduates, 1,495 non-graduates, 1,607 are regulars or alopaths, 18 homcepaths and 55 ec lectics. It appears also from the re port, which is as long as it is absorb ingly interesting to the profession, that two meetings of the State Board have been held heretofore, both in Nashville, one Juue 18, 1889, the second February 18, 1890. One thing worthy of mention Is the fact that Montgomery county has fewer non-graduates than any county in the State. Shelby county seems to lead in non-graduates, hav ing 121 against 128 graduates. This is another "industry" of which Montgomery can boast. To Take Good Care of Animals si an exercise of duty incumbent upon every person having one ; the slightest neglect of them often causes sickness that leads to serious results and many good animals are lost thereby.
