AN INo1pENr IN rHK NRW SpEAKER's L1rE.-

AN INCIDENT IN THE NEW SPEAKERS LIFE
A correspondent of the CnciDnati Commercial
writing from Lexington, KY gives the following
incident in which Hon. William S. Pennington
of New Jersey, the recently elected Speaker was
an actor: think it was either in 1916 or 1916
that Henry Clay became embarrassed to such
an extent that he had to mortgage Ashland
In the meantime movement had been staried
in New Orleans by some of Mr.. Clay's friends
that they would pay his debts and relieve his
endorsements, and Mr.. A. h. Trotter, the agent
of the Northern Bank in New Orleans, was sent
East to confer with Mr.. Clay's friends.
The consequence was that about fifty Thousand
dollars were subscribed, and the Hon. Vim. S
Pennington was sent TO Kentucky with the
money, and came TO Lexington without scarcely
any person knowing him. He walked into the
Northern Bank, asked for Mr.. Scott, the Dash.
Ter OF the Bank, and upon being shown thai
gentleman, asked if there were not several notes
of Mr.. Clay's that We're due in few days, and
was answered that there were. Mr. Scott was
requested to give the whole amount of Mr.
Clays Indebtedness, which was done, and q
draft on one of the New York banks was handed
him, and Mr.. Pennington left the bank with all
Mr.. Clays notes paid
In few days Mr.. Clay came to town to ar
range for renewal OF the notes, if possible, and
was shown In a side room of tie bank. After
sitting few moments he asked Mr.. Scott il
there could be any arrangement to run the notes
for longer time. Mr.. Scott looked at Mr.. Clay
to see if he was not TESTING, and finding that be
was not, told bin that a gentleman from New
Jersey had called yesterday and paid all of his
Indebtedness. Mr.. Clay started when Mr.. Scott
spoke, looked at him few seconds, burst into
toars, and left the bank overwhelmed. No man
ever had such friends. Such, sir, is brief mar.
rative, an incident in the life of the Speaker e.
lect; and here sir, where Mr.. Clay lived, his
personal friends are rejoiced that he has been
honored with the Speakership.
