A« predicted in yesterday's Times-
Journal,, the peach crop was not
greatly Murr r". by the freezing oi
Saturday night. In the protected
valleys the fruit buds \«"*re almost
ready to open, and in those localities
a large per cent of the buds were
killed, bat the distribution of the
ve ones is so even over the trees
that no damage has been done, there
being still twice as many fruit buds
as the rees can fruit properly
The exposed trees—those on the
high lands and colder soil—were not
so advanced, and were consequently
less liable to injury. A few of the
fruit buds were injured, but the
trees still contain ten times as many-
live buds as they can fruit. The
cold snap has checked the advance
to such an extent that the trees will
not be in full bloom for a week or
ten days. No cold loss severe tbia
a freeze will injure the peach crop
now, and there is no longer much
danger of cold sufficient to form ice.

Greer county has been in dispute
for many years between the state of
Texas and the United States The
contention arose over the rather
vaitue description of the boundary
ne between the Louisiana purchase
and the then Spanish possession of
Texas, The treaty provided that the'
boundary line should follow up the
lied river to the lOOth meridian,
tlience north, etc.
Tiie Red river branches neatly 100
miles east of the lOOih meridian, the
north branch being wide aud sandy.
While the south branch is not so wide,
il is much longer, having its source
the mouutains. The difficulty
arose in determining which was the
maiu river aud which the branch.
1'he tract of land between the two
rivers from their intersection up to
the 100th meridian is Greer county—
the d'sputed land. It comprises
2500 square miles of land, which is
magnificently adopted to grazing. It
uas also developed into a good wheal
producing country. It was settled
under the Texas laws, which allow
each settler a section of land. The
population is about 4,000
In order to determine which branch
of the river was intended to be the
line, the court was compelled to
search the records for evidence to
establish the places of settlements by
the Spanish. The state of Texas
contended that the Spanish had made
settlements between the two branches
of the river east of the 100th meridi-
an, and tuat the indention of the
treaty was to establish the north fork
as the boundary line, so as to put all
Spsn sli settlements on the Spanish
side or the liue.

UNDER MARTIAL LAW
(lav. Bradley Calls Out tbe Kiiiili t
Suppress Uiot
Frankfort, Ky., March l« -The
capital today is under martial law
and everywhere can b« seen bristling
bayonets of state militiamen, several
companies having been ordered out
by Gov. Bradley in anticipation of
serious trouble at today's session of
the legislature.
At 11 o'clock last night the riot
bell rang from the fire engine house,
and at the same time an order for
the assembling of soldiers was given
by the executive of the state.
Ten minutes later the McCreary
guards, fifty-two strong, were in
possession of the state house and
martial law was proclaimed. Later
other militiamen put in an appear-
ance.
The news that Governor Bradley
had called upon the military arm of
the state was early spread about and
caused a great deal of excitement.
What promised to be the most sensa-
tional day of the senatorial fight be-
gun with a proclamation from the
governor, issued this morning. In
it he says:
"For several days an e c<.
of desperate men hai.. nj ,i
threats and demonstration*,
dated and overawed the xcii.bc'ri o'
the general assembly; Lia'. said au-
thorities are either powerless, over-
awed or unwilling to Qact, and that
unless the chief executive interferes
and protects the general assembly,
legislative action will be prevented,
anf* riot and bloodshed will follow.''
The governor therefore calls Into
action 300 men of the First Kentucky
regiment, state guards, and company
E of the Seccnd regiment, to be un-
der command respectively of Col.
John B. Castleman and Col. E. H.
Gail her.
M'. Max Hershvwitz has just re-
turned from New York City where lie
purchased a fine line of goods for his
large store. He says he has a
stock that beats anything In the city
or territory. His freight bill alone
on the several car loads of goods that
he has brought In amounts to enough
to start a good sized store. He will
sell things cheaper than ever,so cheap
that. It will astonish you. You should
call and see the many beautiful things
that he will sell so cheap.
