EXPERTS TESTIFY.
The Bohn Damage Case Still
DragS On.

Progress is slow in the trial of the
case of George Bohn against the Bohn
Manufacturing company. The plaintiff
was on the stand nearly all morning
yesterday. Several men who worked
at the factory were put on the stand
who testified to the accident, and that
Bohn was adjusting the beltin the usual
way at the time of the injury. E. d.
Blodget, foreman of a Minneapolis plan
ing mill, testified as an expert He
SAYS Bohn was adjusting the belt in the
proper way at the time of the accident.
Matthias Ferrell testified to similar
effect, and also said it is usual to have
the saw protected either by partition
or covering, and under such circum-
stances the accident could not have
happened. There are many objections
to testimony raised by the attorneys,
but Judge Searles disposes of them

THE DEDOLPH CASE.
An Appeal to the Governor From
the Boards Decision.

the Boards Decision.
The committee appointed at the meet
ing of citizens held recently, at which
the decision of the medical examining
board in the case of DR.. Dedolph was
denounced, has, through Attorney Jag
gard, filed notice of an appeal from the
decision to Gov. Merriam. The points
OH which the appeal is based is that
only seven of the nine members of the
examining board were present at the
hearing of the evidence, four of whom
voted for the revoking of Dedolph's
license and three against it, it being a
question whether four members of
public board composed of nine can re-
woke license for the practice of medi-
cine. A consultation will be had with
the attorney general on the matter to-
day.

of Sheriff Shaw, who was drowned
in the lake at Cumberland, was found
Sunday morning. Shaw has been liv-
ing with his brother in an old hut at
Cumberland for some time past, and

than usual, search was made, when it
was found that his bucket, pipe and
hat were on the bank and his body

Bereavement.

The numerous friends of Mrs. Mayer,
formerly Miss Matte Woodruff, one
of the most highly respected teachers
of our city, sympathize with her in
the sad bereavement she has sustained
in the death of her husband.
Jacob F. Mayer was born in Mos
bach, Germany. July 7th, 1880, and re-
moved with his father to America to
live when but two years of age. The
greater part of his life has been spent
in Henderson, where he has been en-
gagged in the hardware business, first
with his father and brother, in Vir-
ginius, and laterly alone. All of his
business transactions have been char
acterized by the highest integrity, and
his commercial foresight has made him
successful in the accumulation of this
worlds goods.
His second wife was Miss Matte
Woodruff, of Bridgeton, New Jersey,
a very refined and cultivated lady, WHO
is left, together with three sons and an
infant daughter, to survive him.
In both public and private character
the deceased enjoyed the highest es-
TEEN of every one. He was a man of
preeminent good judgement, and was
recognized as such. Fair dealing and
uprightness were inborn in him. He
was liberal to the calls of charity and
of religion. He was a communicant of
the First Presbyterian Church of this
city. "-Henderson, Ky, Journal.

THE NEW ENGINE.
Trial of Hhe ssLaFrance'' Fire En-
gine Thursday.


The trial of the new fire engine, "City
of Bridgeton,' as she is labeled, took
place at East Lake, on Thursday after
noon. The engine, a beautiful La
France, has bright plate on her side,
with her name thereon, which is meant
to be 'City of Bridgeton," but, by
a mistake, the ''e'' is left out of Bridge
ton. When she was hauled out to
East Lake dam On Thursday after
noon the two big black horses were
covered with foam, for the steamer
weighs 5000 pounds, and made load
for them through the sandy streets.
The dam was lined with people to
view the work of the engine.
The old "Silsby," bright and shiny,
as though conscious of the good work
she has done in her time, pumping out
sunken hulks, etc., was run up ahead
of her more gaudy sister engine, the
new arrival and preparations were
made to fire up both steamers, under
direction of Chief W. H. H. Elwell.
Firemen w. T. Bowen and Engineer
VIM. Simpkins struck the match to
each engine, at 26 minutes to four
o'clock. In % minutes the La France
had 10 pounds of steam up; in 81 min
utes she had 20 pounds; in A minutes
she had 40 pounds; in minutes she
had 100 pounds, and in minutes abe
had 12O pounds. All this time the
Silsby was unable to show any sign of
steam, but in ten minutes she had got
pressure of about 40 pounds, which
she soon run up to 80. The engines
were started with 60 pounds of steam
in the Silsby and 100 in the LaFrance,
both engines throwing about II stream
of water over the lake. The stream
from the Silsby could go but about !
the distance of that thrown by the La
France when the pressure was so
pounds each; the La France, with a
pressure of 12O pounds, would nearly
double the distance covered by the
Silsby. Vertical streams were thrown
by both engines, that from the La
France being at least ] higher than
that thrown from the Silsby.
The La France is a beautiful engine
and very powerful; with a new boiler
for the Silsby, we would have two
steamers, each of which can throw
two streams, which would be a. .formid-
able force to fight against any ordin
ary fire in town like this. The test
of the engine appeared to be satisfac-
tory.
Mr.. A. w. LaFrance, brother of the
inventor, was in charge of the new
steamer, while Fireman John Wilson
fired her; engineer Will Simpkins had
charge of the Silsby and - Miller
fired.
Mr.. LaFrance is the delivering agent
for his company and is a very fine
gentleman. Friday morning she
was taken out to the fire plug at the
corner of North Laurel and Washing
ton streets and steamed up, and Mil
ler and Simpkins were instructed by
Mr.. La France in working her. The
Silsby did duty at the fire at Kienzle's
store Friday morning.
