3ESSI0X OF THE laPUCHk'EIT C0U8T Councilman Ocrmia last night Introduced an ordinance riving the freedom tf the streets to the Louisville Charrett and Transportation Company. The com pany is to have lta lines In operation one year after the ordinance, i passed. Erne ordinance provides for a fare of five cents, and plenty of capital Is said to be behind the company. The ordl banc was referred to the Railway Committee. Councilman Koop also introduced bis antl-hlgb hat ordinance.

The ladies who attend theaters will have a short respite Inasmuch as the ordinance was referred back to the Revision Committee, and can not be reported on for two weeks. The ordinance to prohibit people from expectorating- on the streets was defeat ed, so men can once more smoke and chew tobacco without the grated doors prisons staring- them In the face. The City Attorney was authorised to take steps toward opening- the alley on the east side of Fourth avenue, south of (Walnut street. The upper board held a short session as an impeachment court, and after transacting- some trivial business ad Journed until February 4. IN THE UPPER BOARD.

City Assessor If urphy reported his recommendations for deputies, snd they were confirmed, as follows: Thomas Jones. Frank Manslr. Murphy. IX A. Doherty.

H. Boone Ray and Henry Hint In this connection President King- took occasion to publicly compliment Ur. Murphy's conduct of his office, stating- it (was the only office of the city g-overn- fcnent with which no fault could be found. The Mayor transmitted a letter from the Chief of the Improved Order of Xieptoaophs thanking- His Honor and the General Council for their offers of bos-pKallty and courtesy when the Hepta-tsophs shall hold their annual meeting in this city in May. A resolution fixing- the date of the pext on February 4 was then passed.

At this Juncture Mr. Blats. of the lower board, appeared and asked for an ordinance that was pending-, pro-Mdlng- for the improvement of Transit But It was refused, and he left iwitnotu il A resolution was then passed unant- tnoualy directing the Mayor to have the City Attorney withdraw th action against sm Harlan, in which an attempt is being made to collect from him a Judgment gained by the city axalnst Slim in connection with his former pump- repatring contract. This was done because of the acceptance some time ago of Harlan's offer to compromise the case with the city, the consideration being the transfer to the city of ail rights In tne patent on took strainer. A number of ordinances for street Im provements were- passed and-vroflle naps approved.

Mr. Breuer then handed In an ordi nance to regulate the shooting of air gruns and other guns within the city. Which ordinance was sent to the proper committee. It is said that the inspira tion for this ordinance lay In the multi plicity of claims against Mr. Breuers Insurance companies for window-glasses that went to smash before the air guns of small boys.

The ordinance later be- lng favorably reported was passed, with onlv one dissenting vote. A recess of fifteen minutes was then taken, while the board assembled as an Impeachment court. The court opened with a ferocious look from President King. It was aimed at Bailiff Hicks. It evidently hit that distinguished gentleman, for he gave a sudden lurch and braced himself proudly, like a- pouter pigeon on parade.

"We expect you to preserve order." then demanded Mr. sternly. Hicks' duty was then plain. He did not lose a minute in thinking. He strode loftily to the gate of the lobby.

stuck his left hand in his coat lapel. and with, rreat ceremony, lifted hi. heivr cane with the right. All held their breaths. Immediately there resounded through the chamber three raps.

Then there came a serene beam from Hicks' face. All were happy Including Hicks. Clerk Jacob then read the minutes of the last session of the court. This lasted fully ten minutes. Mr.

King then announced that the court would ad- laurn until February 4. Immediately the smile fled from Hicks. He withdrew his left hand from his coat, placed his bludgeon under his right arm, and glided into the shadow In the southeast corner of the room. All was. Indeed, over, and he was aad-bearted and disappointed.

The Aldermen resumed their business by approving a number of claims, among which was one of Breuer, Sim for $75 for Insurance. The pay-rolls of the Police and Fire Depart ments for December were aiso approved. The board then adjourned. LOWER BOARD. Ordinance Introduced Giving Com petition to the Street Car Com- pany.

Mr. of the Board of Public works, said a count is now being made of the lamps, and in a few days it will be possible to say hbw many lamps there are. A motion was made and carried sustaining the veto. Mr. Blats bad one of the pages to get tne ordinance passed at the last meet lng to pave Transit avenue, from the upper board.

The page returned and reported that the President would not give him the ordinance, and that the upper ooara intended to pass the ord inance, air. Biatx then submitted a pro test: against male In a- the street, aimed by about fifty citizens, many of them prominent people. An adlournina- reso lution to eDruary 4 was adopted. The proposition of Sam Harlan look. lng to a settlement of the Judgment in favor of the city against him was.

on motion, referred back to the Finance Committee. The nav-roll for the Fire Department for December were adooted. a resolution waa adopted instructing tne isiiy Attorney to take what steps were necessary to have the obstruction removea rrom tne alley on the east side of Fourth avenue and south of Walnut street. No one seems to be able to find the month of the allev. It ia said to be long to the city, but the alley has been filled In and used for nrlvate mthmm for a number of years.

Beyond the fence tne auey looks like a courtyard. Several suits nave been brought In the past by property holders, but nan of has succeeded In having the alley opened. Councilman Sowders offered a mnln. lion providing for covered nilml wa rnn so that the prisoners would not be sub jected to the gaze of the public. The resolution was referred.

Xr. German, offered an ordinance in. tnonxing tne Louisville Oimrtt nr rnponuon Company' to operate mcir lines over such streets as they may The ordinance provides that the company shall make regular trips over selected streets with email cars drawn by animals. The trips are to oe made as often as nubile travel d- manas. Tne rare snail not be more than five cents each way.

No license tax Is to be charged the first year. After the first year the license Is not to be ocr 15 a car per e-rauro. The charette com pany agrees to have at least two lined in operation within a year after the in. provai oi tne ordinance. The ordinance was referred to the Committee on Railroads.

The City Attorney was Instructed. by resolution to secure com of tha charters of sll the old street-car com- ran les and the agreements or contracts cy wmcn the present car comrlnr mt the- old franchises. The anti-spittle ordinance waa return- ed by the Commit t-ee on Health with, an unfavorable report. When the ordinance was put upon Its Dassare It waa defeat. ed, and people who wish to expectorate on me streets may again do so without fear of spending a week or two in JaiL xseiore tne ordinance came un.

Presi dent Brocar gave the Councllmen a cur tain talk. He discovered them skurry-ing about the room like Jacks In a box. Messrs. Sowders, Ramsay and Adams were seated over In a corner in confer ence. What business have you men In the corner?" -asked Mr.

Brocar. "This Is the Revision Committee hold ing a meeting. answered Jimmv Sow ders, We'll suspend work while the Re vision Committee Is having Its llttte plc- ic. hiu air. xsrocar.

The members of the Revision Commit. tee took their seata Immediately. "Now keep your- seats. There toat man In ths room who knows what he Is voting on," continued President Brocar. An ordinance was then Introduced an nexing Clifton to the city of Louisville.

Until other arrangements are made, the territory or enrton is to be Included In the First ward, and Is to be represented by tne Councllmen of the First ward. The ordinance was referred to the Revision Committee. The Revision Committee reported favorably on the reso lution Instructing the City Attorney to secure copies of all the street-car company franchises. An ordinance reanirinr nre escapes In all factory or store buildings of four stories or more. In which there are twenty persons or more was referred to the Revision Committee.

Councilman Koop then introduced his much-looked-for anti-high-hat ordi nance. It is an exact copy of the Chi cago ordinance, which was published in the Courier-Journal yesterday. It pro hibits any one from 'wearing a hat or bonnet In a licensed theater. They are allowed to wear skull caps or lace or other light head coverings which do not Interfere with the view of those behind them. A fine of from S3 to S3 is pro vided for those who break the ordinance.

Police shall not Interfere during the performances with the people who wear high hats. 'A theaterical manager may. however, eject a person who persists In wearing a high hat In his theater. After the performance Is over, any policeman may arrest an offender who. upon the payment of S3 to the policeman, may get his receipt and go free.

Otherwise the offender shall be taken to the police station and locked up. A Une of S10 in each case Is assessed on the proprietor of a theater who al lows people to break the ordinance in bis house. Mr. Glover moved that the ordinance be passed, and Mr. King seconded the motion.

One of the Councllmen asked for the reference of the ordinance to the Revision Committee, which was done. An ordinance providing for a register clerk at the City Hospital, with a salary of S30 a month, was referred to the Finance Committee. So also waa an ordinance providing for license of $25 to be paid by all dealers In fresh fish whether thev have a store or peddle. It was sf ter 10 o'clock when the board adjourned. Councilman German, who Introduced the ordinance for a line of vehicles to compete with the Louisville street Rail way Company, talked freely of the com pany's plans after the meeting, but would not say who were in the com pany.

He has had the ordinance In course of preparation for some time. He said that. Louisville men were furnishing most of the capital, although some of the money came from outside sources. Such a large majority of the stock waa subscribed by Louisville peo- vic. uiiiuiil.

The plans have not yet been fully matured, and it Is not known whether certain cars will run over certain streets and give trans- ers. or whether the ears win sged Just as hacks are now.

It is very iiirsiv aminllnr to Dr. German, that tickets will be sold at a price consider- ably less than five cents eacn wm In numbers. IW BISKSPS APPCISTED. Very Rev. E.

The ball was very prettily and appro priately arranged for the occasion, and was crowded to overflowing, many per sons standing in the aisles, while others were turned away, unable to gain admittance. For an hour preceding- the marriage the time waa occupied in sing ing Salvation Army songs, which were greeted with shouts of Amen" and similar ejaculations, me Misses McCoy, of the Wenzel and Frank lin-street Baptist church, also sang very sweetly a song entitled The prodigal Son." which was followed by a religious testimonial service led by Cant.

At the close of a marriage ceremony the army regulations require brief ad dresses to the audience from the bride and groom. Mr. Webb arose and com menced by saying: "This is the happiest occasion of my life.

when he was inter rupted by a member of the army the platform with, "I believe it." This disconcerted him somewhat, causing general laugh, when he preceded and made a vey neat and appropriate speech. His bride declined to respond when called for. At the conclusion of the ceremony the couple went to the Farmers Home, on Market street, nesr Preston, where they will reside until they go to housekeep ing tn tne spring.

The petition alleges that Mr. Cum mlngs and his associates took the manu script ef the play from Manager Sack- ett, of the Bijou, and the plaintiff asks that be be entitled to Its immediate re turn.

Lieof; Peary Tells of His flans For Ecachinz It. PRESENTED WITH A 6GL0 L'EDAL In Recognition of His Determlca- tioa of the Insularity of Greenland. THE LATE 6E. CULLOVS 6IFT. New York Sun.) The chief feature of the annual meeting of the American.

Geographical Society at Chlckerlng Hall Tuesday evening was presentation of the Cullnm Geographical Medal to R. E. Pean TJ. S. K.

The occasion called out a large attendance, and when Mr. Peary came upon the stage he was received with generous applause. President Charles P. Daly, In a brief said that the late Cui-lum, who left Sioo'ooo to the society for a building, bequeathed. further sum to be known as the Cullum Geographical Medal Fund for a gold medal to be given to those who should) render most distinguished services to geographical and particularix to American citizens.

a The society's council had decided that this, the first medal, should be awarded to Mr. Peary for having established the insularity of Greenland, aa accomplishment of more than ordinary Importance In the history of the Arctic discoveries. Tt waa decided." said. Judge Daly. "that you were entitled to it above all others, with one exception and that exception was Mrs.

Peary." The audience applauded this sentiment. Mr. Peary upon receiving the medal ex pressed his thanks for the high honor the society had conferred upon him. He told of a visit he iSaid. to the late Gen.

Cullum prior to his departure for the North in 1890. Gen, Cullum wished him an good fortune on his trip to Greenland, and said: "When you get hack I shall be In Green PEARY'S PROPOSED wood." Wbea the explorer returned he a sited where Gen. Cullum was. The answer was: "In Greenwood." v. y.

Mr. Peary devoted most of his remarks to outlining a plan for reaching the North Pole. He said the Pole was certain soon to be reached, as is now only 4 question of time and money. His own expedition had convinced hint that, "from a sufficient depot of provision aa and equipment in the latitude of Independence Bay, the Pole is attainable, He believed that the results of bis own expeditions, togetner with those of Nansen and Jackson, show that there is left but one practical route by which to attain the North Pole, and that is the route through Smith Sound and along the northwest coast of Greenland. Mr.

Peary explained the objects and plan of the proposed work in part as follows: "The conquest of the North Pole, the complete delimitation of the Greenland Archipelago, the last of the clrcum polar island groups, and the elimination from our maps of the unknown area between the 84th parallel and the Pole, are important geographical desiderata. This work can be accomplished without risk of life or health. It can be done at comparatively small cost. "My plan Is to raise a fund sufficient to Insure the continuation of the work of exploration for ten years If necessary. say $150,000, and deposit in a trust com pany, purchase a ship, give her a minimum crew, load with concentrated pro-' visions, proceed to Whale Sound, take on board several picked families of my R.

As soon aa the supplies had been advanced the first stage, the rarty itself would move forward, leav pi yJyy; FRIDAY MORNING. JAirUARY 22.

1S97 ing a cache behind, and as they would be following Eaklmo customs and living- in snow houses this could easily be done. Then the second stag of advance would be taken up and the work earned on until the departure of the sun. Each of the brilliant winter moons of the po lar night would afford opportunities for continuing it. so that early spring should find the party and the bulk of lta supplies located at the northern terminus of the North Greenland Archi pelago, probably not far from the eighty-fifth parallel, with caches behind It at each prominent neaaiana. From this point, when, the proper time came, with picked dogs, the light est possible equipment, and two or.

tne best of the Eskimos, tne oasn zor me Pole would be attempted, with strong probabilities of a- successful termina tion. "Should the first season be unfavora ble as ree-arda ice conditions, it could be devoted to a detailed survey of the archipelago Itself and a reconnolaance of the east coast as far south as possi ble. and the north-srn Journey reserved for the following season or the next. "Each succeeding summer the ship would attemnt to establish communica Hon with the party's base, succeeding probably every other year at first, then with Increaana experience, every year. and keep up its supply of food, dogs, snd Eskimos until rhe objects or tne expeoi-tlon were accomrjlished.

"Should the ship be unsuccessful In the passage of Robeson Channel the first year, the party would land at Hayes Sound, and devote the first year to explorations of that unknown region. Retreat from the colony at Sherard Osborne Fjord would always be practicable across the inland ice to wnaie Bound. "Here let me call your attention to few points on which you must accept my dictum, as i nave no time to enlarge. "Arctic exploration may be regarded as safe. This is shown- by the experience of the last ten yean.

Nothing is to be gain ed by numbers: in fact, numbers are distinct danger, and the frightful catas trophes of previous- work are. in my opinion, directly traceable to that cause. The entire animua of the Arctic regions is against large parties. Where three men will get along- in safety and comfort, tux would merely on half rations and twelve die of starvation. The two-men party is the Ideal one.

Both Nan sen and myself have m-oved "The leader of the expedition must be at the bead of the advance party: no suc cessful Arctic party can be led from the rear. "The latitude of Lock wood and Brain- ard's furthest north is. 83 deg-. 24 min. The distance from this point, up to which we know there Is land, to the Pole and return, is less than the distance from Whale Sound to Independence Bay and return, which I have twice covered once with a single companion, ana again under the heaviest handicap.

"Quits likely the question comes up. ir this method is so practicable, why has not the establishment of a base In this locality been attempted before? and why have I not attempted It myself It baa been attempted before, but there beinar no means for a. continued effort. failure In the first attempt has resulted In fcts abandonment, as ror myseir. it has been entirely a question of money.

The funds at my disposal have not per- mi tied the charter of a ship beyond Whale Sound. "The points In favor of this project are: The utilization of the Eskimo. the people best -fitted in the world for that particular" kunx or wont men sroo, under the leadership' of one whom they know to be their friend. and in wbom they have the utmost confidence, would follow to the end. raitnrui ana loyai as thHr own magnificent dogs.

"Second Land for-a base. The party launched into icy waste from the North ern Archipelago would have some defi nite, fixed point to which to return, rather than a ship drifting witn tne onrung ice. to vanish like a. will the wiep. as did the Pram from Nansen.

Then should the party be. swept westerly In its retreat it would still strike land, and finding- deposits at each prominent bead-land could easily reach headquarters. "Third A practicable and already utilised route for a retreat independent of the snip or outside assistance, "In a nutshell my project means: First, the raising of a sum sufficient to insure persistent, continued effort, so that if the attempt- fails the first year It can be repeated, on the next, and the next, and the next until it is done. "Second, the establishment of a party of picked Eskimo families, a surgeon, and an experienced leader at the highest practical point on the northwest coast of Greenland: with ample supplies, means of communication -which would enable the colony to sustain itself until its work Is accomplished, and with a practicable line of retreat entirely independent of the ship, "This project In more detail and accompanied by maps will be placed before your Council in the belief that it will meet the approval and indorsement of the society. With that indorsement I believe the time is opportune for raising the money for the work." The Culiom medal is of handsome design, the work of Miss Lydia Field Emmet.

On the obverse Is the figure of a young man standing in the bow of a boat. He has thrown down his oars upon discovering land. He shade his eyes with his hand as the boat progresses through the- waves. A sea gull, hoverinr. Indicates the proximity of land.

The whole, according to the society's description, is 'supposed to represent progress, courage, enterprise, and the spirit of exploration and search for knowledge. Inscribed on the face of the medal la: "The American Geographical Society of New1 York." The reverse, to typify achievement and reward, bears a female figure Columbia, the left band resting on a globe and the right holding out a laurel wreath.

A glance at the map of Tennessee re calls at once the old pioneer days, for the counties bear the names of early set tlers who were among- the path finders of this section, and whose intrepidity and valor will be chiseled by history on the granite pages of The example set by these old heroes can not be followed tn all lines, for there are no more Tennessees to settle and no Indians to contest Inch by inch the westward march of the Star of the Empire: but their deeds can be emulated in other ways, and If they are we shall all be better for their having lived. These grand old men and women have left more than their, names and the result of their works behind them.

The swords that they handled with effect, and their rifles, their hunting knives, their powder horns, their spinning wheels, their "samplers. and a hundred other relics have been preserved and will be shown to the present generation at the Tennessee Cen tennial in May next.

W. M. Breaxeale, mentions many wings that are not recorded elsewhere. and which are closely interwoven With early Tennessee history. Many of his statements have been contradicted, but no proof Is produced to controvert his as sertions.

'Therefore, like Mark Twain's oone story, nig statements must be ac cepted, because "If they ain't the bones of a fallen angel, whose bones be they? For Instance: Breaxeale says that in the winter of 1768-S, "according to the most certain Information that can now be obtained. East Tennessee began to be permanently settled. Julius Dug- ger and Andrew Greer, with their fam ilies, were probably the first settlers on the Watauga river. Shortly after they settled in the country, a company of about ten families came from that neighborhood of North Carolina where Raleigh Is now. and also settled on ths Watauga, Gilbert Christian, the Ble-r- lnses, Beenes and Cobbs, were also among the early settlers.

The Sevters. Tlptous.and Shelbys snd James Robertson came soon after, and we are told that when Robertson first settled on the banks of the he found a man named Honeycutt. living there who had been. there more than a year. These emigrants were left to provide for themselves, being so far removed from the Inhabited sections of North Carolina that no civil government waa exercised over them for several years.

In 1772 they formed an association and wrote out articles for the government of the colony. By those articles five comnjlslohers 'were appointed to conduct the publlo affairs and to decide all question and controversies. Middle Tennessee, then called Cumberland, did not begin to be settled till about 1779, ten years after the settling of East Tennessee. The Inhabitants of the Watauga settlements continued under the control of their commissioners for a num- ber of years. Shortly at-r they arrived; In the country they made a treaty with, the Indians and leased the lands In order to avoid hostilities: although at that time the nearest Cherokee town was on the banks of the Little Tennessee.

Not long after the advent of the settlers upon the Wstauga, settlements were- made on the Hoist on and Nola-chucky rivers, and In Carter's Valley, some distance above the spot where RogersviUe is now situated. In the year 1772 a man named Jacob Brown established a small store on the Nola-chucky. and Parker and Carter opened a mercantile establishment In Carter's Valley: the latter being subsequently robbed by the Indiana. These were the first business houses of which there is any record tn the State of Tennessee. The- Indians, however.

were generally peaceable, and the settlers were not very much afraid of them. A rupture waa narrowly averted at a horse race tn the Watauga valley, when a man named Crabtree, from -Wolf Hills, near where Abingdon to now, is said to have killed an Indian. The settlers were much slnrmed about this, and Jamea Robertson, afterward Gen. Robertson, made a Journey to the Cherokee towns, explained matters and stopped a fight and probably a massacre. Peace and quietness reigned in the colony till 1774.

In this year the Shawnees made a campaign Into the country and penetrated as far as that portion of the territory now known as Sullivan county. In July of that year the Governor of Virginia sent out an expedition under the command of CoL, Lewis, and on this Information reaching the new colony. CapL Evan Shelby raised a volunteer company of over fifty men. among whom were the SeViers snd Robertsons. Having Joined the Lewis army at Greenbrier Flats In Sep tember, the army marched to the mouth of the Great Kanawha, where they arrived In October.

On October 10. Bergt. James Robertson and Sergt. Valentine Sevier, while hunting, discovered a body of Indiana stealth ily marcning upon xne unsuspecting provincials. The two Sergeants opened fire on the enemy and by so doing alarmed the camp.

A hot engagement followed, which lasted all day and occasioned to the white forces a loss of ISO men. killed and wounded, and the Indi ans lost about the same number. At the time of this fight, the first Congress of the United was In session, and the news of the victory ot tne wnite forces over the Indians was reported to the House and there was great re joicing. It is said inai in inus ugns uie Indians had 800 braves, composed of Shawnee, Delaware and Mingoes. As the news of the victory spread abroad it inspired intending settlers with confidence and in the fail of 1774, the Cher- okees ceded a portion of their lands to a company composed or Kicnara Hen derson and others.

A chief named Ocon- ostoto objected to ceding any land and showed a very hostile attitude. In a few days afterward Boyd and Daggett, two Virsrinians. were killed at the mouth of the Holston, on a creek now called Boyd's- creek. About this time Alexander Gameron. th Brttish.

agent, then "residing among th Indians, Is said to have urged them to make war upon tb Holston settlement, but there Is no proof that lie did, so. Anyway. In June. 1771. formidable Invasion of tnese settlements jwms planned and carried Into execution, srtth the hope of driving th whites out of th country.

It appears that a named Nancy Ward, a relative of Oconostoto. beard or tne propoeeo; mu-sacre and warned the whites, who soon mobilised about 200 men. On June 23 a battle was fought and tb white forces drove th Indians back and lnniotea a loss upon them in killed and wounded of fully fifty men, while the whites only lost one man, Rufus Hart, Id lied and twentv-three wounded, among was William Mitchell, who died a weeks after. Upon the same day the Indians under tb command or ora Abram. of Chllhowee, attacked tb fort at Watauem.

where Capt. Robertson was In command, and Captain, after ward Gov. Sevier, was on or hi aiaes. A man named Greer was mad conspicuous by bis valor In the defense of Fort Wsluin. A portion of the settlers did not have time to reach the fort before the enemy was upon them, and William Moore and Mrs.

Boon were taken prisoners. Moore, it Is said, wss burned at the stake on a feast day tn one of the Indian towns. The red-skins divided up Into small par ties and literally scoured the country, killing and: scalping wherever they went. Amonsr those whom Breaseel aava were killed and sralpedi were Jamea Cooper and John Tucker and a man named Hope, or Pope, probably the latter, who Is also said, to have manufactured whisky snd was probably the first wildcatter in Tenneo.ee. was accused of giving Scouti WsJ-orr.

or firs-water, to the squaws and that raised row that resulted la bis death, October 4. 177s. Another party of marauding Indians. under command of th great Chief Raven, went up Carter's valley, and an other party ravaged th country rrom wbat is now the Seven-mile Fora in Vir ginia, to Sullivan county. This unpro voked attack of the Indians upon the settlements caused troops to be ordered from Virginia and North Carolina and Cot, William Christian.

Cot Williams and MaJ. Winston, with U0 men, were soon in camp at Double Springs, at ths headwaters of Lick Creek. There they waited till troops from th Wautaug settlements Joined them. Judge Hay wood says there were altogether l.oo men. but.

ail things considered. It is probable that this estimate is about 600 too many. CoL Christian, however, had a very respectable little army, and han dled It with the greatest care, a man named Alexander Harlln visited CoL Christian's camp and toid him that fully S.000 redskins had congregated on the banks of the French Broad river and were ready for battle. However, the Indian did not show fight, and Chris tian advanced, and destroyed a small Indian town called Tamotlee. after which, the Indians began to sue for neace.

While the operation were going on In East Tennessee. Gen. Rutherford, with a. stronar force, inarched Into the Indian country and to the valley towns at the headwater of the Hlawasse. He destroyed nearly forty towns, destroyea the corn field, and drove on am we cattle he could find.

CoL William son was also busy. He destroyed! the Seneca, towns and laid wat the coun try aa far a Unicoi mountain, wniie an other little army under CoL McBury destroyed th Indian town on the Tugais, Th Indians now began to sue for peace In earnest and were very quiet with tb xeentlon of a. few who ever and anon made at raid and robbed a settlement. In Msy, 177s, a convention was neia at. Halifax.

N. C. and the citlsens of the Wstun. Holston and Carter's valley settlements elected John Sevier, Carter Wommtck and W. R.

Hill to be their representatives at this convention. They were received and sat as members, and at this convention the District of Washington was established, which was afterward organised as a county by ths Legislature of North Carolina, A year afterward. May. 1777. a treaty was made with the Indiana at the Long Island of th Holston by commissioner virwlnia and North Carolina.

W. Avery, -ohn Winston and Robert Sevier represented Carolina, ana t. rTmun, CoL Chrurtlsn and CoL Evan-Shelby represented Virginia. A part of th Indians. Including th Chlckamauga towns, under the command of Drasr-H rsnoe.

objected to the treaty, and depredations continued to be perpetrated upon the settlers from time to time and. aitnourh this was really ths end of the first Cherokee war. yet It was a time when botn reosain ma availed themselves of every opportunity ta ret rid of each other with as little ceremony possible.

This lesson has tmn learned la many of the other Lies of our land. lur-ins tb past year there has not ben much that tb. club could do. owing to th. conditions attending a neuonsl campaign.
