SOUTHERN.

Gov. Beckham wns nominated by the Democratic State convention for Govern<v of Kentucky by acclamation. Four persons were killed in a battle between deputy sheriffs and a gang of railroad hands on the Cincinnati Southern in Scott County, Tenn. The work of Harvard University nt tjie recent eclipse at Washington, Ga., proves valueless owing to the apparatus having been rendered useless through carelessness. The plates just developed reveal this fact. At Bowerston, W. Va., the Toledo express on the Wheeling nnd Lake Erie from Wheeling was ditched and six car-

loads of excursionists were rolled over an embankment. Aside from a few bruises no one was hurt. M. B. Hugh, shipping clerk for Swift & Co.’s branch office at Jacksonville, Fla., was drowned at Pablo beach, being caught by the undertow. Ben Pollak,, who was with him, was seized with heart disease and was carried from the water in a dead condition.
