urer who his successor in the office. The
theory upon which the amended third paragraph of
reply held good that Rogers, being
defaulter his second term could
not apply money received on that
of his first term. The law is well settled that such
officer does not hold the money which into
his hands as baee but the money, to all ntsnts and
purposes is his and he may it he pleases
He is not defauter until he fails to pay the money
a required by law. (72 Ind, 491 81 i'd, 212;
53 i'd, 331; 80 i'd, 4S3) As the legal title to the
money received by Rogers in him he could pay it
out upon his indebtedness, either 20 the county
on his previous term to individends, and if such
payments rendered him defaulter his second
term the suretes on the last bond would be liable
own successor, made at the close
of his first, and after the commencement Of
his second term and approved by the county
board strong but not conclusive evidence in favor
of or against the sureties both bonds In such
tho suretes the bond for the second term will
be held responsible for the amount for which he
accountable at the close of his first term not exceed
ing the amount with which he chargeable, as
shown by his last settlement during his first term
adding to and deducting from such settlement subse-
quent receipts and disbursements occurring in the first
term, while the sureties the bond for the second
term should be held responsible for all in the
officers settlements during such term, and for all fail
properly to charge himself with funds for which
he accountable, for illegal disbursements with
which he may have obtained credit. Judgment re-

On Tuesday, October 2Sth, at $3.50 P. NJ,
the bonds of Holy Matrimony between Mr..
j. T. BUTTS and Miss LIZZIE NEWMAN
were tied by the Rev. j. w. Worsnop, Pastor
of Fort Hill Methodist Church, Arcadia, at
the residence of the brides father. After
the ceremony, the newly married couple re-
ceived the congratulations of the numerous
relations and friends present, together with
best wishes for their happiness and joy in
their new sphere Of responsibilities.
Then followed grand supper to which
tie guests did ample justice, and which
proved that some dextrous female or females
had been hard at work previous to the
memorable occasion.
The young bride, her husband, his mother
and youngest sister, but one, left Ironton by
the midnight train, for PiedmonE where
they all arrived In safety.
On Thursday night, 30th, at Piedmont, a
number Of friends were assembled at the
house of Mr.. Butts, I'm honor of his sons
marriage. An elegant supper was provided
By the mother. On the table was q beauti-
full, delicious "Bride's Cake" prepared and
ornamented with artificial flowers made Of
wax, which were as natural as could be, and
presented by Misses Nettie and Minnie Col
Inns, of Des Arc.
The young man with his bride left Pied
mont by the one O'Clock train Friday morn
ing, for Fredericktown, where they will
make their home. They received good
number of very handsome presents which
will ever remind them Of the beginning of
their married course. l am sure we all
wish them happiness, health, joy aud pros
perity ia their new condition of life.

The Vulcan Works.

As anything relative to any of the prO per-
ties of the st. Louis Ore and Steel Company,
Is of great interest to our readers, we copy
In full an article appearing in the Globe
Democrat last Sunday:
There was a rumor on the street yesterday
that the Vulcan Steel-works, in Carondelet,
which are included in the property of the St.
Louis Ore and Steel Company, now in the
hands of a receiver, and which have been
shut down for such a length of time, would
be started, although not under the manage
ment of the company which owns 1t. 1t was
said that the property had been leased to a
company Of Eastern capitalists, who would
put the works in operation Immediately. As
the Vulcan is one of the largest manufac-
tories of steel by the Bessemer process in
the country, and as very little steel has been
manufactured in the United States for some
time past, owing to depression in railroad
stocks and curtailment of railroad extension,
its starting would be a matter of considera-
BILE Importance to the commercial world,
and especially to St. Louis.
A Globe Democrat reporter who called
upon MIR. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, receiver of
the Ore and Steel COMPANY, was informed
that his business was not for the news.
papers.
Mr. Chas. P. Chouteau was somewhat
more communicative, but even he would 60
no farther than to say that negotiations for
the lease of the property were now under
way, and that 1t would probably be coiisum-
mated before the end of the month.
About two months since a slight demand
for steel rails sprang up, and in consequence
