ANNALS OF KENTUCKY.
1873.
April 20-In the Woodford circuit court, the Harper-murder case has been closely investigated (for the fourth time) ; suffi- cient was not elicited from which to frame an indictment.
April 21-Gov. Leslie vetoes a bill in reference to selling or giving liquors to minors in the city of Covington-because it modifies and lessens the scope and force, the prohibitions and penalties, of the gen - eral law. " The state has quite as much interest in the welfare of the youth of Cov- ington as of any other city and county within its territory, and owes to them an equal duty of protection." The house of representatives sustained the veto by. a vote of 49 to 10.
April 21-Celebration at the Louisville Exposition hall, by the colored people, of the anniversary of the XVth Amendment to the U. S. constitution : "Sec. 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of serv- itude." This was ratified March 30, 1870 ; but the celebration was postponed to this day, to secure the attendance of Frederick Douglass, the distinguished colored orator. The procession was large and imposing. Mr. Douglass spoke in the afternoon, and again at night, to a very large audience of colored people, and among them a goodly number of prominent white citi- zens.
April 21-Fire at Owingsville, Bath co .; 10 stores, offices, and stables burned ; News printing office burned ; loss $22,000, with only $300 insurance.
April 22-Three of the defeated Repub- lican candidates for councilmen in Lex- ington, at the recent January election, serve writs upon their Democratic oppo- nents requiring them to show cause, at the ensuing May term of the Federal court at Covington, why they may not be en- joined against holding the offices of coun - cilmen.
April 22-New revision of statutes, en- titled "General Statutes," adopted, to take effect Dec. 1, 1873; the state to fur- nish the paper for 4,000 copies, the public printer to print same in one volume for not over $1 each, and public binder to bind same for not over 60 cents each, by Sept. 1, 1873. Edward I. Bul- lock, of Hickman co., and W'm. Johnson, of Nelson co., appointed to edit and super- intend their publication.
April 23 to 26-Italian opera in Louis- ville, with Clara Louise Kellogg, the fa- vorite American prima donna, and Pauline Lucca, the great Italian tragedienne ; crowded houses.
April 24-Made unlawful to manufac- ture, or store ( unless congealed ), nitro-gly - cerine within one mile of any city, town, or dwelling in Mason co., under penalty of $1,000 to $3,000 fine ; owners to be respon- sible for damages by explosion ; and if death result, to be guilty of manslaugh- ter.
April 24-During this session of the legislature, Gov. Leslie has vetoed 3 bills which originated in the senate, and 10 which originated in the house. Every veto was sustained-several of them unani- mously, one by a tie vote, and the others by very large majorities.
April 24 -- New alms-house at Louisville awarded to contractors ; to cost $149,968.
April 24-Adjournment of legistature. The house passed 934 bills originating in that body, besides all from the senate ex- cept 71. The senate disposed of all from the house except 2 local bills, which were purposely left in the orders of the day to prevent their rejection; 14 senate bills were also left in the orders of the day.
Only 84 of the acts were "public," be- sides the 25 " resolutions ; " and 1035 were " local and private acts." Thus, 9012 per cent. in number of the laws actually enacted were local and private, and only 912 per cent. public ; while of the pages occupied in printing the same, 93 per cent. (1214) were taken up with the for- mer, and only 7 per cent. (84 pages) with the latter. There is vast room for im- provement and economy here.
April 25-The court of appeals unani- mously reverses the case of the Covington and Lexington R. R. Co. vs. Bowler's Heirs, from Kenton co., involving the ownership and possession of the Kentucky Central Railroad, 100 miles Jong, from Cov- ington to Lexington ; and determines that R. B. Bowler's purchase of the road under the decretal sale of Fayette circuit court, in 1859, shall inure to the benefit of the stockholders, after placing Bowler's estate in statu quo. The old Co. is to be restored to the control and management of the road-after accounting to Bowler's beirs and assignees for the moneys expended by them in satisfaction of the Fayette court judgment and for repairs and improve- ments on the road ; and is to have an ac- count for profits realized from the operation of the road and otherwise to comply with the terms of the Fayette judgment. The action is not for the recovery of real property, nor for relief on the ground of fraud ; but to de- clare and enforce an implied or constructive trust. The cause of action arose when Bow- ler finally and decisively repudiated the claim of the old board to the benefit of his purchase. Argued for the Co., by Henry Stanbery, Stanley Matthews, John F. Fisk, and others ; and for Bowler's Heirs, etc., by Madison C. Johnson, Mortimer M. Benton, Harvey Myers, and Geo. R. McKee. George H. Pendleton also rep- resented the Heirs, but did not argue.
April 26-Eight years ago, to-day, Gen. Jos. E. Johnston surrendered the Army of the West, of the Confederate States, to Maj. Gen. Wm. T. Sherman, U. S. A., near Raleigh, N. C.
April 26-The s. E. corner of Scott and Third streets, Covington, selected as the site of the new post office and U. S. court rooms, for which congress appropriated $130,000.

May 1-Democratic state convention at Frankfort, Judge Geo. G. Perkins, of Cov- ington, temporary and permanent presi- dent ; 52 counties represented ; James W. Tate, the present state treasurer, nomina- ted for re-election by acclamation ; plat- form resolutions discussed and adopted.
May 1-Death in Estill co. of Peter Shenfessal, 110 years old.
May 2-Death at Augusta, Bracken co., suddenly, of Joseph Doniphan, chancellor of the Covington district, aged 49. Judge D. was a native of Augusta, practiced law from early manhood, was county judge of Bracken co. for nearly 8 years, repre- sentative in the legislature in 1849, circuit judge for 6 years, 1862-68, and chancellor from 1871 until his death. He was an up- right judge, and a Christian gentleman.
May 6-Kentucky State Homoeopathic Medical Society organized, at Louisville.
May S-The superintendent of public instruction, in a communication to the Louisville Courier-Journal, explains the present unfortunate delay in the payment of a portion of the teachers : The law al- lows the sheriffs until April 1 to pay the rev- enue into the treasury; whereas the school laws fix Jan. 10 as the day for paving out to the teachers. Thus, it is not collected in time. By this lack of harmony in the dates of payment, the legislature caused the difficulty ; but has recently, at the sug- gestion of the superintendent, so changed the day of payment by the sheriff's as prob- ably to prevent its recurrence. Those who blame the auditor and treasurer for the de- lay, do them injustice ; they pay the school orders as fast as the school fund reaches the treasury.
May 10-Southern Baptist Convention at Mobile resolves to remove from Green- ville, S. C., to Louisville, Ky., their South- ern Theological Seminary, whenever Ky. raises $300,000 and other Southern States $200,000 more for its endowment.

May 13-Adjourned meeting of the Alumni Association of Central University, at Lexington. In the bids for the loca- tion, Anchorage (including Louisville) of- fered $42,000 in land and $20,000 in money exclusive of $38,000 already subscribed to the endowment fund. Danville offered $44,430 in cash, $5,570 in Agricultural As- sociation stock, and $30,000 in real estate (or its equivalent in cash if desired ) ; this included her $14,500 of the endowment fund. Richmond offered $75,000 in cash, besides her $10,000 to the endowment fund. On the first call of the roll, Dan- ville received 231, Richmond 176, and Anchorage 136 votes. Richmond was with- drawn, and the 2d vote resulted : An- chorage 342, Danville 217 ; and on motion of Rev. Win. F. Junkin, Anchorage was declared the unanimous choice of the As- sociation.
