it is to change the organic law of her

next went to Murphy, the county
seat of Cherokee, but l found that it
was not generally known that would

small crowd there, but managed to get
some true-blue brethren together, and
after explaining the objects, plans and.

County Lecturer to visit each Sub

county of Cherokee.

A SUIT AGAINST sPooNER.

President Sanford of the Adams Suing
the Former vice-President.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Henry Sanford,
the new President of the Adams Express
Company, has begun a suit against
Clapp Spooner OF Bridgeport, late Vice
President of the Company. The sum-
mons informs Spooner that if he does
not answer judgment for 5000, 905 will
be taken by default. In that suit,
Judge Patterson of the Supreme Court,
has granted an attachment against Mr..
Spooner's property in this State on The
ground of non-residence. Mr.. Sanford
made the affidavit upon which the writ
was issued.
He makes the same charges against
Spooner that he did against John Hoey.
1t is charged that Spooner, Hoey and
others bought an interest in the New
York & Boston Despatch Company, the
Kinsley Express Company, and Union
Express Company on March %, 1882, for
$73, 095, and sold it to the Adams for
$3.50, 900. They acquired the remaining
interest in the three companies on March
12, 1888, for $50, 900 and sold it to the
Adams for $500, 900. Mr.. Sanford al
leges that Spooner and his associates, in
fraud of the rights of the Adams Com
pany, appropriated 1906, 9O5 of it's funds.

AN UNWILLING BRIDEGROOM.
He Wants to be Rid of n Wife He Claims
Was Forced Unon Him.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 23.-Charles
Van Leuven, an Albany lad, about IS
years of age, according to his own
story just made public, claims that he
was forced to marry Berth Winnie,
also of Albany, last November. She is
"a years old. Van Leuven's mother,
who keeps a hotel, began suit for the
annulment of the marriage last July,
and the referee who heard the case re-
ports in favor of annulling it.
Van Leuven says he first met Bertha at
dancing school in this city. They often
danced together, but finally she made
her intentions to him so evident that the
members of the class began to make fun
of him. Then he tried to get rid of her,
but she would not be cast aside. About
the middle of last November according
to the lads narrative, he visited Berthas
home upon her invitation, and there,
under threat, he was compelled to marry
her.
Miss Winnie's story is to the effect
that the young man made violent love
to her, and that he practically COM
promised her by his marked ate ntions.
He asked her to marry him and she
consented. Afterward he tried to break
the engagement, but the entreaties of
herself and mother prevailed and the
wedding took place. Charles has seen
his wife only twice since that fateful
November night, almost year ago.
Bertha says the reason is that his
mother keeps such a close watch upon
him

Counecticut's Treasuryship Fight.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 23.-Marvin
H. Sawyer filed his replication in the
Superior Court yesterday in his case
against E. Stevens Henry for the State
Treasuryship. In it he denies the de-
fendant's allegation that no one "has
been found by the General Assembly to
have been legally chosen as his (said
Henry's) successor in Office, and no per-
son has been qualified to enter upon the
execution of the duties of the Office as his
successor" The plaintiff, though, ad-
mits that he has filed no bond with Nor
gan G. Buckley. Mr.. Sawyer con cludes
by calling E. Stevens Henry a usurper,
and asks to have him ousted from the

ASSAULTED BY A TRAMP.
- Girl Found Wounded ON the Roadside
By Her Father.

CHESHIRE, Conn, Oct. 23.-Susie Car
YER, aged 20, a handsome girl of this
village, had an adventure Wednesday
night which may cost her her life. She
was walking from a neighbours house
to her home when she was accosted by
a tramp. She started to run. The
tramp seized her about the waist and
threw her to the ground. She managed
to escape but was caught again. This
time the tramp made a vicious lunge
at her with a knife, cutting a slight
cash in her cheek. Her cries alar med
the tramp, and catching her with one
arm, he struck her again with the knife.
Miss Carver tainted. The tramp, fear
ing that he had killed her, ran away.
She was found later by her father.
There was a fearful cash in her abdo-
men. Physicians were summoned and
the neighbors aroused by the father
Searching parties secured the road with
fast horses, while others set off into the
woods. 1t is thought the tramp made
his escape from the town by means of a
freight train, which passed through here
on the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad soon after the assault
