LOUISVILLE, March 14.-William I.
Cundiff, of Texas, obtained a judgment in
the Federal Court here yesterday for $40, 900

with shotgun and killed Tarlton Brad

Soon after he moved to Texas. In 1889

quilted. His trial cost him heavily. and he
at once began suit to recover. His judg-

The Hotel Scheme.

Concerning the prospects Of the hotel syndi-
cate, 1t can be said, without injury to anyone,
that they are not up to expectations. Three
sites have been carefully examined. but no Sc
lection has been made. Price is the only OBJ
lection to either of them. But there is a greater
difficulty than this. The money end of the
deal is being worked in New York, and the
effort to secure funds there is slow and unsatis-
factory. There is no probability of the aban-
donment of the project. but it is more than
likely that the promoters will be compelled to
rely upon Pittsburg capital in the end.
