several severe repulses, and are unable
to make any progress in the subjugation

in command. A Colonel was also be-
headed for appropriating the pay

LOUISVILLE, June 5.-The little city Of
Sulphur. KY, on the Short Line Rail-

post Bank has skipped, and with him
Mrs. Hattie Abbott Watkins, wife OF
John Watkins, the proprietor OF the no.
tel tat Sulphur. Mcilvaine is alleged to
have taken with him about $4,000 OF
the banks funds. Experts from Gin.

sEd it is said the deficit may be much
l.rger.
Young McIlvaine is the son OF W. II.

substantial citizens Of Henry county.
The young cashier is graduate OF Har-
ward, and is a handsome, dashing young
fellow. He has been cashier OF the Sui
phur Bank for several years, though he
has scarcely reached his majority.
His paramour, Mrs. Watkins, is a
beautiful brunette. Her maiden name
was Hattie Abbott. and she was fa.
nous belle before her marriage to John
Watkins, an estimable young man. She
is the daughter Of Mr.. Wash Abbott, a
leading merchant Of Sulphur, Sne had
been married about two yearp. and was
thought to be q model young woman
until a few weeks ago, when scandal be-
gan TO connect her name with that OF
young McEtvaine.
Last week Watkins charge his wife
with in6deliiy and told her 10 leave his
house. She did SO Tuesday, taking the
next train for Campbellsburg, where she
is said to have been joined by Mciivaine.
The two came to this city and disap.
peared. Detectives are working on the
case, but failed to find any clew to the
whereabouts OF the couple.
