RAIDING THE ROLLER Kinks
The Outraged Society of Madison Closes Up
the Happy Skating Grounds.

The Outraged Society of Madison Closes Up
the Happy Skating Grounds.
Madison, Wis.,, Special.
Offended society has raised howl here within
the two weeks past, the consequence of which
was declaration by the City Council tonight
that the roller skating Kinks must 60. The rink
managers were we'll represented in the lobby
but the preponderance of deacons and church
members in the Council and the pressure of
complaining parents and indignant hus-
compromise or leniency After a SEN
sational discussion of the scandals
which the roller skating mania had
visited upon local society, the Council passed an
ordinance imposing 5000 monthly license on
each rink, and it was stated that if this sum
proved inefficient to extermnate the evil, the
license would be doubled or quadruped to suit
the emergency The ordinance is made at once
operative, and, as result, the Kinks have all
determined to close indefinitely. The cause of
the crusade is the rapidly increasing number of
domestic troubles and social scandals directly
traceable to the Kinks. There are FIVE or six di-
vorce cases ripe for the courts. all of which are
to be brought by the husbands. The feature of
the complaints will be specific charges Of as
signations which were kept in the Kinks
and in fact originated there. One of the antic
ipated plaintiffs, merchant. is said to have
employed two Chicago detectives to procure
complete and positive information about the
people who regularly visit the Kinks 1t appears
that this was done with view to forcing the
war upon the rink managers He had vainly ex-
postuated with his wife. and finally threatened
to close up the Kinks. When she ridiculed him
he conceived the plan of accommodating sufficient
evidence to satisfy the City Council of the evil
and by this means eradicate it and restore his
wife to her family. He had not suspected his
wife, but to his embarrassment and shame, he
was eventually convinced of her nfdelity He
faltered for while in his plans, but at length
decided to carry them out and sue for divorce.
The scandal list of the detectives is big one.
Many of the wealthest families are associated
with the sensational gossip which is going the
rounds, the heroes of which include several of
the students at the university.

Having Danced Must Pay the Piper.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 16.-For three or more
years Georgia farmers have been making prac-
tice OF borrowing money from Northern corpo-
rations and giving liens upon their property to
secure the loans. The rate of interest has usu-
ally been 10 or II per cent. per year. and the
farmers have paid this in order to get ready
money to tide over embarrassments caused by
short crops. Some few, finding themselves I'M
able to meet their paper at maturity, brought
suits against the holders of the mortgages,
charging them with usury. Judge Emery Speer
has rendered decision that the loans can be

be paid is not usury. This will involve transfers
of thousands of acres TO Northern capitalists

Virginia's New Governor Denies that He Used

Washington Special.
General Fitzhugh Lee thinks it is fair for
Republican papers which have printed the sad
die story to publish this from the Washington
correspondence of the Baltimore Sun: ''Some
few weeks since. in conversation with your cor
respondent General Fitz Lee, in referring to
the allegations to his riding the saddle of his
uncle and the comments of General Logan and
other Republican speakers on the treason
stained saddle remarked that it was possible
the saddle which he rode in Rock bridge county,
Virginia, and which was sent by his cousin. Gus
tbs Lee, belonged to Robert K. Lee, but he did
not know and had never inquired. AS to all
other occasions, General Lee was positive that
saddle upon which he rode was ever the prop
erty of Robert e. Lee.
''SiEce the publication of the interview refer
red to- General Fitz Lee has received IA letter
from Gen. Curtis Lee, at Lexington in which the
latter says: L want to tell you, Also that the
saddle about which so much fuss was made, was
made only few years ago in Washington, by
Lutz, and was never used before you rode it
by any one except by brother Bob, who rode on
it to try it. NV father never saw it, During
the campaign FitZ Lee rode fifty odd saddles,
and it would be difficult to find reason why, if
one of them had happened to belong to his
uncle, he should have declined to use it. but this
letter Of GUSTS Lee settles, positively, that at
time durin1 the entire campaign did he ever ride
on saddle which had belonged to or been used
by his uncle So it will be seen that there was
absolutely foundation for the columns upon
columns Of criticism and abuse with which this
falsehood was retailed by the radical press Of
the North, nor for the fiery and bitter speeches

est of partisans, has always had reputation for
manly and straight dealing, and he owes it to
himself to make proper amends"

ty-four hours the aspect OF affairs has entirely
changed. The peace negotiations have fallen
through, and from the present aspect of affairs
an outbreak may be expected at any time. The
farmers committee met to-day and refuse to ac
cept the agreements submitted to them, declar-
ing it was unjust to the miners. Lomis says
that the agreement which was signed by himself
and all the other operators of Bevier should
have been satisfactory to tho miners, but was
treated with contempt by them. The feeling
against Lomis is now stronger than ever, and
many think it is simply question of time when
