longs to one Of the families of the old
fendal nobility, is immensely wealthy,
and enjoys a certain popularity as a
graceful writer of local plays. She
also published few years since small
volume of Russian poetry, in the Des-
houilieres style. She is princess OF
no small talent, but her "forte" is the

Death of Henry Runner.

Mr.. Henry Bruner of Jacksonville, Ind,
well known all over the West, died sudden
ly at his residence on Sunday night at 1890
o'clock. The Louisville COiTier-JoarRdI
says that Mr.. Bruner had been indisposed
for several days with nervous headache,
which be has been SUBJECT to for number
of years, and, as is his usual custom, he
took morphine to sllay the pain. On Sun
day afternoon he took several heavy doses
against the remonstrances Of the family,
but nothing serious was thought of it, as he
was in the habit of taking unusually large
quantities. Early in the evening be fell
into deep, heavy slumber, from which the
friends of the family found il impossible to
arouse him. a physician was sent for, but
arrived too late to save him. The deceased
was Quartermaster Superintendent during
the entire war, at Nashville, Tennessee, and
was one OF t;ls best business men in the
army. Mr.. Bruner, by speculation and the
advantages which his position gave him,
amassed a fortune of over half million
dollars, but lost it all by putting too much
confidence in those whom he thought to be
his friends, and died comparatively poor
man. He was man Of noble and gener-
GUS impulses, and was loved for his many
acts of kindness by large number of
friends. 1t will bs rem mbered that Mr..
Bruner was arrested after the war, with
many others, on the charge OF svindling
the Government out of Sl0,000,000, but,
there being no proof to substantiate the
charge, the case was dismissed.

rim, aged l6 years, tried to pass counter
felt fifty dollar bill in Carthage, for which
he was arrested and released on $1,000
bail, it being thought that he had been yic-
timized by his brother-in-law, Louis Ray,
whom be claims requested him to buy GER
tain articles and return the change. This
led to a legal investigation which has
caused the arrest of five citizens of Macon
county, among them Cicero Clark. VIM.

brown curly hair and his right leg drawn
up by disease, are at the head of the gang,
with which many persons of good charac-
ter are supposed to be connected. Writs
have been issued for these parties s2d &C

ALABAMA AND Chattanooga z. II.
What has been its Disposition and
What for the Failure

AOA eASO E4AAAEVs
The affairs of the Alabama and Chatta-
nooga railroad have for some time been
of interest to many, and at last have re-
solved into legal status to be compre-
hended. This roads company whose Pre-
sident was d. n. Stanton, has been ad-
judged bankrupt which thereby estops
creditors from the prosecution of claims,
none who failed to file such having now a
power inyalidating the decree of bank
ruptcy, the only parties having the
right of appeal having acquiesced in
the sale made subject to the lien of the first
mortgage bondholders, whose rights were
subrogated to the State of Alabama by vir-
tue of her endorsement in accordance with
the statutory authority for which she Sc
cured the prior lien. Amicable measures
for paying IL e interest GU these endorsed
bonds have been made with the State of
Alabama, which has Already received $312,-
000-the bid of Gov. Lindsay at The bank
rupt sale. The first mortgage bondholders
have applied to Judge Bradley for a fore
closure of their mortgage under its term,
which suit is now pending, and the next
order Of the court will be to confirm
the sale. Authorized to borrow 81 ,200,600
with which TO repair and equip the road,
thereby creating lien prior to that of the
first mortgage, and making the total in
debte dness $6,420,OOO, (near S21, 100 per
mile.) Lewis Rice, of Boston, and Judge
Harralson, of Alabama, have been appoint
ed receivers during the tendency of the
suit before Justice FrIdley. These receivers
represent, we understand, much capital,
and VII proceed to repair and place the
road in coed condition, besides repairing
the machine and other shops at Chattanoo-
81, By the degree of BANKRUPTCY the
second mortgage bonds as well as the two
million Of Alabama bends will not be liqui-
dated or taken up. Those attachments
which are not disturbed by the bankruptcy
are subject by reason of their basis and
nature to the lien of the first mortgage
bond holders, after the satisfaction or liqui-
dation Of whose claims, for which purpose
is tie sale, and in view of the author
lied loan, there will be no assets to be held
by the attachments. The road is indebted
to the State of Georgia in a small sum,
which without difficulty will be paid.
J. C. Stanton is the Superintendent and
win commence operations next week.

WHAT WAS HIS OTHER NAME?
Mark Twain, in bis lecture on Artemus
ward, tells the following capital story ofthe
immortal Snowman: As Artemus Ward
was travelling In the cars, dreading to be
bored, and feeling miserable, man ap-
preached him, sat down aud said:
"Did you hear that last thing on Horace
Greeley"
"Greeley? Greeley" said Artemus; "Hor-
aceGreeley? who is hep"
The man was quiet about five minutes.
Pretty soon he said:
''George Francis Train is kicking up a
good deal of row over in England; do you
think they will put him in a bastile?"
"Train? Train? George Francis Tramp
said Artemus solemhly, 81 never heard of
him.,
This ignorance kept the man quiet fer
fifteen minutes, then he said:
"What do you think about Gen. Grants
chances for the Presidency? Do you think
they will run him?'
"Grant? Grant. hang it, man." said Ar
temus, ''you appear to know more strangers
than any N an l ever saw"
The man was furious; he walked up the
car, but at last came back, and said:
"You COMPOUNDED ignoramus; did you
ever hear of Adam?''
Artemus looked up and said;
eWhat was his other name?"
