SMUGGLING A SUBSIDY.
Railroad Men scheming to Take a MIL
lion Out of LOuisviIIe's Treasury.


From the Ne,o YORK Herald.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. ia great sensa-
ton is caused to-day by the publication IN
an afternoon paper Of q statement of an
alleged conspiracy between the Louisville
Southern Railway Company and the
Mayor to give that road a million-dollar
subsidy of the city's money. The idea,
according TO the published charges, is TO
rush an ordinance through the Council at
its meeting Thursday night, subscribing
the sum OF S1,000000 to the Louisville
Southern. The ordinance is now drawn
up, and the company has engaged two of
the leading attorney firms of the
city to settle any legal complications.
1t is even believed that the bonds
to be issued by the city are
already printed and are ready for the
Mayors signature. 1t is claimed by the
friends of the new road that according to
their charter the bonds can be legally in
dorsed by the Mayor without submitting
the proposition TO a vote OF the people. 1t
is further held that under the provisions
OF this same charter il viii not be neces-
sary to advertise the ordinances in the
public prints for a certain period OF time,
but that il will come into force the instant
it is signed by the Mayor, who may then
Immediately go ahead and indorse the
bonds. 1t is proposed that the city shall
be paid in stock of the new road for its
Endorsement of the construction bonds.
The Louisville Southern was projected
five years ago by Bennett
II. Y0uug and other local cap
italists, but was Knocked out of shape by
combination between the Louisville and
Nashville and the Cincinnati Southern, by
which the latter road was given admit
lance to Louisville over the tracks of the
former. The Louisville Southern people
are shrewd men, however, and have kept
their eyes open ever since. Not long ago
Mayor Reed j0urneyed to New York with
other members OF the sinking fund COM
mission. and sold $500 shares of the city's
stock in the Louisville and Nashville.
This, it is claimed. was part Of the
scheme, the idea being to get the money
into the sinking fund in order 20 invest 1t
IN the stock of the Louisville Southern.
If this is done the road is to be built by q
construction company. and here is where
the great chance for fraud comes in.
The publication to-day has caused q
genuine sensation in business and politi-
cal circles. The Egenng Post says of the
scheme that it is the bOldest and most
shameful ever conceived in Louisville,
and adds that ''the stock in the enterprise
has been hawked about the streets. Every
venal wretch whose influence was con-
sidered OF value has been bribed. The
doodle is parcelled out. Only the seal
and sign manual of the city are now ne
cessary to impart value to it, and to put
money in the purse Of the gang who have
so industriOusly and claudestinely con-
ceived and consummat the conspiracy.
We speak strongly, but we speak adj
visedly If there is an honest man who
has been deluded into it's advocacy he
should abandon the gang at once. The
faint OF the job will stick to him like boil
ing pitch"

A Romantic Couple from Henry County
Married in the Rain


From, the Louisville C0urier-JouruaI.
A romantic marriage occurred last
Monday night about O'Clock in front OF
the residence of Justice John Mccain, on
Green street between Ninth and Tenth.
George A. ElkIns and Mollie Stewart, a
runaway couple hailing from Henry
county, Kentucky, shouted a loud
"HellOi' several times to attract the at
tention of the magistrate, who came out
to the street with lantern, and asked to
know what was wanted.
The young gentleman and young lady
were both seated on the same horse, and
were drenched with rain, which had
been falling for several hours. Elkins
said that they wanted TO be married at
once, and that the ceremony would have
to be hurried, as the father and the broth.
ers of the young lady were in pursuit Of
them.
The Justice asked the couple to show
their license, which was done, and then
invited them TO come into the house,
where the ceremony could be performed
This the couple refused, on the ground of
not having sufficient time. and asked, in
stead, to be married then and there on
horseback
The squire consented, after some hest
tation, and called to Col. VIM. Hardin,
who happened to be passing at the time,
TO hold an umbrella over the heads Of the
two while the service could be performed.
The ceremony was brief, and at the con-
clusion of it the groom remunerated the
services of the squire with liberal sum,
when the couple rode away. The bride
was young and very pretty, while the
husband looked like prosperous and
well-tO-dO young farmer.

hamil of Ottawa. Archbishop Tache of
Winnipeg preached the sermon. After the

cession formed and proceeded to the church

PITfsBURG. Penn, June 12.-John
Kuntz OF New York, who has undertaken
to beat his way from New York to San
Francisco on wager of $4,000, arrived
here tonight. He is on his way to Chi
cago. William j. SimmS accompanies him.
He has been selected by both parties to see
that the conditions of the wager are faith
fully kept KuntZ is to make the journey
in six weeks, without walking a mile or
spending a cent Of his own money. If he
wins, half the money goes to him. He
tells the following story as to how the trip
was arranged. He spent a. great deal
of his time at the stock yards, where
he frequently entertained the drovers with
the recital of his travels. Zone OF them,
Mr.. John Bensinger, seemed to take es-
pecial delight in listening to me" said
Kuntz ''About two weeks ago he was
sitting down town in saloon with some
friends and finally the conversation turned
upon early times. Several related their
experiences and hardShips, and one of them
told how he went to Texas one time from
New York, and beat his way back for a
great distance, stopping on the road to earn
a few dollars with which he used to buy
railroad tickets toward the end of his trip.
1t took him three months to accomplish the
trip. 'PShaw! that's nothing Interrupted
Bensinger. I know man that can beat
that record and go you one BETTER and he
related something about dead-heading.
Everybody doubted the story. I'll produce
the man and back him for money that
he'll do all I said,' exclaimed Bensinger.
'I'll bet 81, O00,' John Holmes shouted, that
he can't doit.' Bensinger asked time until
the next day, and meanwhile he consulted
me. After we talked it over, he offered to
bet So, 900 that would beat my record by
two weeks, and the wager was accepted.
The conditions were that | was to start on
Monday night, and to have neither money
nor food. If I accepted any money from
strangers was to hand it to Mr.. Simms,
who would buy single meal and drink for
me from the sum received, no matter if it
was but 10 cents. l have to hunt for every
meal eat. 1 must ride thewhole distance,
dead-heading it, and cannot walk more
than mile from the depot to board train
at any place where we happen to STOP"

received by officers of the Cincinnati South
ern railroad from st. Vincent, KY, deny
the reports circulated last night that con-
struction train had been wrecked by the

structiOn train going south last night was
thrown from the track two miles north of
New river bridge by striking cow. The
cabOose and seven cars were ditched. Five
laborers were killed and the foreman,
O'Donnell, and ten or eleven men
were injured. The track was
cleared by II o'clock last night The fol-
lowing is a full list of killed and wounded:
Killed Robert Lowry, Fred Owens, Law

A Mob Objects to Prohibition.

SPRING VALE, Me-, June 12.-The
trouble which has been brewing for some
time over the enforcement of the prohibit
tory law eliminated last night in the organ
iZatiOn of mob armed with revOlvers and
stones and attacks upon number of houses,
in which windows were smashed and
other damage was done. The gang went
to the house of William HI. Frost,
about quarter of mile from the village,
and sent shower of rocks
through the window, accompanied by a
volley of bullets from revolvers, fired in
reckless disregard of the sleeping family
within. Taking the direct road to the vii
lage, the mob next stopped at the house of
John w. Frost, a trial justice. Here shots
were fired into the house, where women,
children and old men We're sleeping. For
tunately no one was hurt, but the windows
were demolished. The house of G. H.
Roberts was next visited. There also the
windows were smashed and the furniture
damaged. The residence of Wilson
Cheney, prominent clothing dealer, was
also treated to a volley of rocks.
The final effort of the mob was made
against the Office of the Advocate. The
editor of this paper sleeps in the Office. A
perfect fusilade was kept up, and bullets
rained into the room. The editors only
offense was the publicationwithout comment
of the liquor trials. By what seemed a
miracle he escaped injury. The raiders
then disbanded. Much excitement was
shown this morning, and the sheriff of the
county was telegraDhed for
