that the Louisville and Nashville railroad can
not be forced to handle stock from the Ken
lucky and Indiana stock yards on terms ratably
the same as it now handles for the Bourbon
stock yards, but may fix for itself the condi-
tons under which it will receive freight

A Bank President Swindled.
PRETENDED FARMER EASES HIM OF THREE rHol
sANn nor Ans

SAND DOLLARS. n
Frederick, Nd, special to the Philadelphia
Times says: Joseph d. Baker, one of the
wealthiest residents of this county and the
president of the Citizens bank, was cleverly
swindled out of $1,000 yesterday. One of the
directors of the bank wanted desirable farm,
and. knowing that Mr.. Baker was well posted
on the value of landed property in this section,
asked him to make the investment for him. A
man had called the day previous and had Of
fered to sell his farm, located in Leesburg for
$1,000. Mr.. Baker knew the section well and
thought the property cheap. To make certain
however. he accompanied the sleek-looking
farmer to Leesburg. and after looking over the
property repaired to the hotel and gave the
seller check for the money. To make certain
that there was no trouble about the title, he
stipulated that the man should sleep in the
same house over night. The latter consented
and the pair retired at about the same hour.
During the night, however. the alleged farmer
quietly skipped, made his way to this city, and
succeeded in disposing of the check. Mr.. Baker
Is just $4,000 out, for the man did not own the
farm. He had given fictitious name.

BIZ NEGRO SEVEN YEARS AGO.
Louisville special to the New York S'sn
says: Cora Belle Pagan, pretty girl of four
teen, applied last night to the chief of police
at New Albany for protection. She said that
seven years ago, when but seven years of age,
she was playing on street in New York, where
she lived, with a number Of companions, one
OF whom was named Eva Slater, and that, dusk
coming on, she was unable 70 find her way
home and was kidnapped by a negro. She re-
membered nothing more until she found her
self in Nashville, where she was confined in an
old dilapidated shanty for seven years until
last July, when she made her escape. During
all the seven years the negro, whom she only
knows by the name of Charles, kept her locked
up, never permitting her to go out, and treat
ing her with the greatest brutality. Two weeks
ago her captor returned home very much in
toxicated, and while he was unconscious she
made her escape and walked from Nashville to
Louisville, where she remained for one week,
when she went to New Albany. The only per-
son besides the playmate, Eva Slater, she re-
members is her teacher, Miss Armstrong, who
taught school on SD street, New York city.

WAR PREFERABLE.
Immense Cost Of European Armament
In the Last Decade.

New York Times London Special
Europe enters upon the second decade of her
existence under the Berlin treaty with less
apprehension Of immediate trouble than she
has felt In any preceding new year. The
| chances OF international provocation are in
deed for the moment reduced to minimum.
| There is, for the time being, internal peace
throughout the Balkan states, and the great
powers inside the triple alliance find them
selves SO evenly balanced against those on the
outside that no one sees reason to fear any pre-
| cipitate tipping of the scales
These ten years of peace under the arrange
ment of Lord Beaconsfeld and Prince Bismarck
have not, however, been distinguished by bless
ings which such long and pacific term might
be expected to bring. Every nation in Europe
has paid most dearly for the privilege of quiet.
Since 1872, when the last elaborate computa-
ton OF the armies of Europe was made, the
taxpayers OF the continent have expended
1900 900 900 on preparations for a war that
mas not come, or nearly twice what we at home
expended on our four years of civil war.
big struggle ten years ago, with results of
such sweeping character that partial dis
armament could have followed, would have
been infinitely cheaper and better for Europe
than this long nightmare of dread and ruinous
preparation. Since 1872 Germany and France
| have both more than doubled the actual war
strength of their armies, and the total war
strength or the seven continental powers,
counting the Balkan states as one. has risen
from 6, 142, 900 to 10, 400 OO0 If we add to this
most OF trained fighters on war footing the
classes of partially -trained men in the second
and final reserves we get an imposing total of
70, OOO, 900 soldiers, all liable to be drawn into
the next European war; and now more or less
| withdrawn from peaceful vocations, at a total
| annual public cost of 5000, 900 900.
This vast war taxation wrung from peoples
who do not hate each other who do not want
to fight who ask only for opportunities for
peaceful industry and mutual traffic, is a ter
| rible burden. The blood money must be
borne, however, for no better reason than that
it is still in the power of few famiies-the
Hohenzollerns, Hapsburgs, Romanoffs, Bour-
bons, and Coburgs-to embroil the whole con-
| tinent with their dynastic intrigues and ambi-
tons. 1t is only when these modern figures of
armies and war taxation are studied, figures at
which Frederick the Great or Napoleon would
have been paralyzed with amazement, that we
realize what kingship means

DenOuncing POXyderly.

DENNY SAYS The CATHOLIC CHURCH CONTROLLED
THE ORDER.
A Pittsburg special to the Philadelphia Times
says: Ex-General Organizer A. G. Denny.
President James Campbell, of the Window
glass-workers' association. and others, all
members of the knights of Labor. had a pro-
lOnged discussion to-day. Denny roundly de-
nounced Powderly for allowing the Catholic
church to become the dictator of the order,
and said that it was he who got Cardinal Glib
bOns to go to Rome. and it was through him
that the pope took the order up.
Denny also said that Powderly worked for
the $1,000 salary at Richmond and Indianapo-
lis. but this was denied bv President Campbell
who said he knew that POwderly did not want
over $1,000 or 81 500 and that the present
salary was forced upon him.
The Barry meeting, of which so much has
been expected. did not take place tonight,
owing to the refusal of District Master Work
man Doyle to allow the use of the knights of
Labor,s hall for this purpose. Barry presented
himself at the hall about 7:30 O'Clock. and as he
approached Doyle locked the door. Barry SAYS
he will speak some time this week at some
other place in the city. 1t is rumored that
Powderly wired Doyle TO prevent the meeting,
but the latter denies this.
