9, 1899. OLD CITIZEN DEAD. "Benjamin Cawthon Passes Away At pit Country Home Funeral This Morning. Benjamin F. Cawthon at Wa home irear Dravo Station on the Southern railroad Sunday afternoon of a complication of diseases.

He was seventy-three years Old and was born and reared In Louisville. In 1S4S. when only twenty-two years of ag-e, be and Lochlan SJc-jDougal built a large furniture factory 'at Ninth and Jefferson streets. They became the lax-gent manufacturers of furniture In the city. About ten years later Mr.

Cawthon built a flour mill Tenth and Broadway, where the Union Station now stands. For the past (ten or fifteen years he had been en-' gaaed tn farmlntr In the county. He had only one near relative. Mrs. W.

H. his wife and two sons having, died several years ago. His- body was brought to the home of W. H. Dulaney tn this otty yesterday morning, and the funeral will take place from the real, dence this morning at 10 o'clock.

The remains will be- burled In Cave Hill cemetery. JENKINS DISMISSED. HO CASE AGAINST THE BAIL-WAY POSTAL CLERK, Wa Accused of Tampering: With, a Bival Clerk's Mail Test -Letter Sent. j' No ease was made against T. E.

Jen-kina. a railway postal clerk, when he was given an examining trial before Commissioner Henry Caasin yesterday morning, and -he was dismissed. Many of bis friends were on hand to congratulate htm. The charge against Jenkins waa that lie unlawfully opened a letter addressed to Miss Lula E. Johnson, of Princeton.

Ky. It developed that J. W. A. Myers, a railway postal clerk on the same run.

the Louisville-Fulton run over the Illinois Central railroad, bad something Co do wtth working up the case, addressing the latter to Miss Johnson and witnessing Foat-offloe Inspector Kile poet it on Jeplclns train, wblchl waa going In the opposite direction from that npon which Jenkins was. The posting was done at a station where the trains panted. Inspector Kile was at Prince- ton and was present wnen Miss Jonci on received the letter. He examined It and thought it gave evidence of having been opened and pasted up again. Mla Johnson testmed that sne count see Djr hokltaia- it up to the light that the muoilage under the flap appeared out of order.

Myers testinea tnat nu mail had been tampered with for several months and he was anxious to find who had been doing It. A test letter, Kile's, waa sent In order to see If it would be tampered with. No evidence was provided that Jenkins had opened the letter, and dis-' missal followed. It appears that there Is considerable hard feeling of some kind between Jenkins and REPUBLICANS KICKING. Of Several Becent Internal Bevenue Appointments, One Is Not Popular.

A. H. Benton. Phil Bom. Peart Downs and Max Louis have been appointed storekeeper-gaugers by Collector Sapp.

The appointment of Mr. Benton Is the cause of some murmuring among Republican. Mr. Benton Is said to have taken a strong poe-Kton three years ago against the A. P.

A. element of the party, and his appointment now at the hands of Mr. Sapp, who was. If he is not now. the State President of this society, is taken wtth bad grace.

It to said that the appointment of Ben ton was upon the advice of Postmaster Baker as a move toward party harmony. However, the appointment baa so far provoked more comment than FOR VETERAN, FIREMEN. Improyements To Be Made On the Old Pirst-Street Station- House. On May 21 the Board of Public Works will open bids for making Improvements on the old station-house, on First street, between Green and Jefferson, which will be converted into a headquarters for the Veteran Firemen's Association. The Improvements will cost about The plans were draw by Architect II.

He was able to see bis wife for a little while yesterday morning and told her ot the circumstances leading up to the negro's death, and his own narrow escape. His story establishes the fact of Mike Nolan's heroism. He said: "I kept ad- OFFICER WILLIAM MURRAT.

Now. use IU "I caught the weapon, letting the negro's hand tall for a moment, and before he could get at me. 1 shot just below the right ear." Patrolman Murray's story Is at variance with that told by Welnts, and it Is to be supposed that Welnts was so excited that his eyes deceived htm as to the exact position of the men when the fatal Bhot waa fired.

Nolan Is a young fellow about twenty-five years of age. and is a barkeeper at Tom McLaughlin's saloon on the northcasrt corner of Baxter and Hamilton avenues. He was standing at the bar when some one told him that a fight was In progress at Orrill's barber-shop. He Jumped across the bar and had lust reached the door of the saloon when the reports of the three shots rang out.

"I have received letters, from points, in the South stating that many merchants would take advantage of the low rates and come here to buy their goods.

Louisville wholesalers and retailers should do an unprecedented business. There will be a heavy traffic by ran and steamboat. It will probably be years before Louisville can offer another month as of attractions. R. S.

Brown, district passenger agent ot the B. and O. S. said that his line had not done such a passenger business in months. EL H.

Bacon, of the Monon. said the same. This shows that many people in Southern Indiana are coming to Louisville In preference to going to Cincinnati. Indianapolis and St. Louis.
