small tables in the commodious dining roora and the supper was a de licrhtfulfeature of the evenings en tertainment Tho menu was very elaborate and the dishes were served by the junior class about a dczen mos attractive young ladies At the conclusion of the feast a number of toasts were responded to Dr Stoneihade the principal address of the evening in response to Hie Graduating Class Hon Clar dyrespouded to The Trustees and MrtChas Graves discussed The Junior Class His brief response was appropriate in substance and beautiful in diction and showed Mr Graves to be a talented young man with quite a touch of sentiment and humor in his composition It was his debut as a post prandial speaker and he showed some embarrassment but acquitted himself handsomely Dr JM Phillips briefly responded for th9 Ministers and Judge Pet ree supplemented Dr Clardys remarks on the Trustees and told a joke at the expense of Dr Stones rather uncertain age The festivities were broken up with a brief response fromChas Meacham on the subject of The Press These annual receptions are always very pleasant and enjoyable affairs and this time Dr and Mrs Mc Call and their charming daughter Miss Florence fairly excelled them selvesin entertaining They were assisted by the ladies of the faculty and the young ladies who will graduate ths week lr Halls Sormon Sunday Rev Hall of Fulton Kv preached the annual sermon to the graduating cIqbb of Bethel Female College Sunday morning at the Baptist chUrchMUiQ audience was so large that it was necessary to remove the rollincr partition and use both rooms of the church Dr HallB ser mon was one of the most profound and scholarly discourses ever delivered in this city on a religious subject We regret that lack of space prohibits us from jiving a synopsis of it Dr Hall has the reputation of being one of his denominations strongest men in Kentucky He is a closo reas oner a powerful and eloquent orator and his attractive presence and manner at once secures the attention of his hearers HiB sermon was one of his best efforts and has been praised in the highest terms by all who heard it Dr Hall preached again at night at the request of the pastor Rev Mr Nash His audience was almost as large as that at the morning service His sermon was also a very fine effort A Cold Blooded Murder Luke Allen col was shot and killed Friday afternoon near Clarksville by his stepson Wlliam Mallory Allen had punished one of his children severely and his wife interfered A struggle ensued between husband and wife Allen shoved his wife from the house and she fell fracturing one of her limbs She at once notified her son Wm Mallory who was at work in Clarksville Mallory got a pistol and went out to his step fathers house He found Allen sitting on the steps and coming up behind him shot him in the neck Allen fell to the ground and before he could rise four more bullets were sent into his body causing death in a few minutes Mallory then left the premises and has not been heard from since The killing appears to have been a cold blooded murder and the chances are very favorable for Clarkaville to have a hanging in the near future if Mallory is captured Two More Local Victories The games of ball Thursdav and Friday between the Evansville team and our Locals were decidedly the befit of the senfinn nnrl wnrn ivifnpRs ed by very large and

Constitution Frankfort Ky June 1 The long looked for bank tax cases were decided in the court of appeals today in favor of the banks The court Btood four to three Chief Justice Pryor who wrote in thirty five pages of le gal cap the main opinion of the court having Judges Hazelrigg Eastin and Grace to agree with him and Judge Paynter who wrote in seventy pages the dissenting opinion being sup ported in his views by Judges LewiB and Guffy For more than a month the court has been wrestling with the very knotty questions presented in the cases and it waB wnispered about the state house time and again that the court was in a hopeless tanerle and could not arrive at common ground on most of the points at issue on which to and in an opinion But at last as the abstracts of the opinions below will show the question of impairing the obligations of a contract the vital point in the cases fixed tho majority of the court on the side of the banks and while the cities and counties will thereby lose their right to tax the banks the State will recover her rierht of taxation on these institutions as under the Hewitt law at seventy five cents on each S100 valuation which will be in lieu of all other taxation and which will not only add about 120000 per annum hereafter to the state revenue but will oblige the banks to make up the difference between 42 cents and 75 cents for the past three years when the revenue act went into effect and which in itself will aggregate about 360000 no small sum for the State in these times of stringeucy to place to the credit of a still larger de licit in the general revenue fund The greatest excitement prevails here in consequence of the decision The bankers were jubilant and were too happy to contain themselves Un the other hand the opposition is correspondingly depressed The effect of the decision will bring into the state treasury from the banks about 360000 in addition to the 200000 that is regularly paid by them This will come near clearing up the deficit that is now pending THE LOCAL RESULTS The four banks of this city have not paid anv citv and county taxes pending this test case by mutual agreement and there will be nothing to refund Of course this decision is greatly to the advantage of the banks and the Stateand against the cities and the counties The tax rate here for all purposes citv county and State is 2A0 and by payinga75 cents oniy 10 tne state me uanKs save vrioo and the State gains 32 cents The city loses 150 and the county 47 cents on the hundred dollars The city is the heaviest losfr of course as the bank taxes would have added many thousands of dollars to the annual revenues It is stated that the cases cannot be appealed to the supreme court because the decision is in favor of the claim of contract setup by the banks There is therefore no federal question upon which the case can be ta ken up It is only case when the decision is against the claim that the supreme court has jurisdiction The only recourse now is a motion for a rehearinsr which mav or may not be granted Ilopklnsvlllo High School Maj FerrellsHigh School for boys closed its 22nd year Friday without any public exercises

Accepted a More Lucrative Position At the meeting of the trustees of Hopkinsville public schools Saturday night the Board was greatly surprised to receive the resignation of Prof Chas Dietrich the popular superintendent to take effect June 14 Prof Dietrichs school year ex pires on that date and he chose this method of notifying the board that he would not be an applicant for re election This voluntary retirement of the able head of our schoolBr which have come to be regarded as second to none in the state will cause universal regret amongst the patrons of the schools Prof Dietrich cam here a stranger in January 1881 when the schools were first opened and forl4i school years he has devoted his best energies and talents to the work in which he has so well succeeded Our people had long since come to the conclusion that Prof Dietrichs connection with the schools was assential to their continued DIETRICII cess and efficiency No one has entertained a thought of losing him and the announcement of his resignation will be received with profound and universal regret and fill the patrons of the schools with serious apprehensions for the future It will be impossible to fill his place in many respects and the board will be indeed fortunate if a successor can be found who can take up the work he laye down and keep the schools up to thetr present standard of efficiency A thorough school man with an intimate knowledge of graded schooL work a scholar of broad culture and a close student of up-to-date-methods a born teacher a splendid disciplinarian and a cultured agreeable gentleman Prof Dietrich every element of success in Eossesses profession His retirement was purely for business reasons He has been offered and has accepted a traveling position at a largely increased salary His close application to work for so many years has made a change from a Bedentary to a more active life desirable for a time at leastr as his health has been somewhat impaired durjng the last year Then the increase in salary was a consideration that he could Dot decline to consider in justice to his pecuniary interests He had received assurances from nearly every member of th board that left no doubt of his re-election for another year In fact there would have been no other applicant as no aspirant has had the temerity to annlv for his Tlaco during the loner neriod he has filled it so acceptably iom year to year Prof Dietrich- will still retain his residence this city and his family will remain here tor tho present He will enter upon the duties of his new position on the 15th inst and Ihb headquarters will be in Cincinnati Circuit Court Ileglus The June term of Court began yesterday and the following grand jury was empaneled Carothers foreman Andy Boyd A Browning
