Off for Oklahoma.

Col. Thos. H. Corbett resigned his
position as clerk at the penitentiary
on Saturday and left Thursday for
Guthrie, Oklahoma, where he has
been appointed Receiver and Disburs-
er of Public Moneys by President
Cleveland. He will be succeeded as
clerk at the penitentiary by Mr.. G. H.
Stone, of Spencer county. Col. Cor
BELTS family will join him in his new
home about the first of September.
Just before he left Tuesday, the
guards and officials at the Kentucky
Penitentiary presented Col. Corbett
with a handsome silver water set and
a new suit of clothes, and the prison
ers also presented him with fine
silk umbrella. He has been the clerk
at the prison for the past two years,
and his genial, kindly disposition
has made everyone connected with the
institution his warm friend and adj
mirer, and the presents were but the
expression of their friendship in
substantial form.
The silver-ware was purchased at
Selbert's and handsomely engraved.

A Plain Statement.

Below will be found true state
ment of the condition of the E. II.
Taylor, Jr., & Sons, assets and liabili-
ties as taken from their books, to-
gether with the appraised values
after the assignee had made up its
schedule. 1t is plain and it can easily
be seen from it that the firm is in
good condition.
On July 10Th, ultimo, the date of
their assignment, the books of E. II.
Taylor, Jr., & Sons were placed in
the hands of their assignee, The Sc
curity Trust & Safety Vault Co., of
Lexington, KY. At that date the
books of the firm presented the fol-
lowing result on the condition of the
business, viz:
Assets s5 5iS 5S5 Ss
Liabilities 54d'Sz 20
Surplus. Si97,SS2 IS
Under the deed of assignment the
court appointed appraisers of assets,
who having performed their duties
in the premises, reported
The assets as valuable for the sum Of 1858 759 s.
The liabilities, as above, bang, 54f,73E 70
A surplus of S2lOI7 SO
Of the above indebtedness of $347,-
1925 there is directly secured by
collateral, 1854. 427 40 and not directly
secured, say $93,3O4.77.
This statement shows the status of
the firms business, as taken from the
face of their books and upon the ap-
praisers' report.
N. B.-The appraisement does not
include the value of their trade
marks, brands and business good
will, nor the judgment recovered by
them in the Franklin Circuit Court,
and now pending in the Court of APP
peals, against the Geo. T. Stagg
Co., enjoining it from Stimulating
their brands and trade marks, and
directing an account to be taken of
the entire profits made by said Stage
Company upon about $4,000 (twenty-
two thousand) barrels of whisky.
Their attorneys, who are recognized
as the peers of any, feel confident of
the affirmation by the Court of APP
peals of the judgment Of the lower
court.

Warden S. A. Norman was informed
some days ago that certain prisoners
had arms and ammunition concealed
within the walls and kept sharp
look out for the same. On Tuesday he
was notified that the Reeves brothers
and Willard, three of the most
desperate convicts in the prison. who
were sent up from Monroe county for
burning the town of Tomkinsville
and robbing the bank, were seen to
carry suspicious looking package
to shanty in the south end Of the
yard, where Willard was employed in
boiling soap. Tuesday night, after
the prisoners were locked in their
cells, Mr.. Norman took several men
to the shanty, tore up the floor and
dug the ground over in the search
for the package. The shanty was
built against the side Of warehouse
used for storing seasoned timber,
and in removing the floor of the
shanty a plank nailed against the
side Of the warehouse was ripped of,
which revealed an opening under the
floor of the larger building, when the
Warden directed one of the men to
see what was under there. He thrust
in his arm and drew out a sack con-
tanning about one hundred metallic
cartridges which would fit Winches-
ter rife and 44-calibre pistol, and a
wooden box closely sealed up with
sealing wax to prevent the moisture
getting into it. When the box was
opened it was found to contain two
pistols, three boms, made of dynamite
and gun powder inclosed in glass
bottles, and bottle of gun powder.
Walter Berkeley, who served out his
term in the penitentiary several
months ago, and who was arrested at
the gate for having burglars tools in
his possession and is now in Jail
awaiting trial, is known to have
stolen one of the pistols and the
cartridges, while employed as a trus-
ty about the offices at the gate, and
that he gave them to the Reeveses.
The other pistol disappeared during
Warden Bolan's term, and had
evidently been buried for long time
and only recently dug up, cleaned
and oiled. 1t is also supposed that
Berkeley obtained the gun powder and
dynamite, of which the booms were
made, at different times, while going
about the city as trusty.
1t was the intention Of the men to
either slip up to the entrance at a
time when visitors were going out,
throw one of the boms to demoralize
or kill the guards at the gate, then
make a rush for liberty, shooting
down any one who might offer oppo-
sition. Or if a favorable opportunity
did not offer at the gate, to conceal
themselves in the second story Of the
old hospital, cut through the brick
wall, shoot the guard on the wall
which divides the women's yard
from the main yard, get on to this
wall from the opening they
proposed to make in the old hospital,
run across to the guard house and
lower themselves to the ground from
the rear wall Of the prison and then
make rush for the open country,
but as they were all locked up We'd
nesday morning in their cells and
severely punished, they will hardly
gain their liberty this trip.

After dinner, the lieutenant, accom-
panied the ladies home, walking by
their side along the road. At the door,
they babe one another good-by. After
that word had been spoken, Antoinette
remained at Fredcrick's side, very close
to him. She appeared to await some
thing. 1t seemed as If her forehead
was bending toward her betrothed's
lips.
He understood. And, once more low
ering his eyes, he saw the red ribbon
lit by the last rays of the setting sun.
And, as in an hallucination, in the rust
ling of the leaves he thought he heard
again: st would not be acting like q
gentleman"
Then, dazzlcd, he stepped back and
in a choking voice: Listen! my heart
is bursting. Even il ] unsettled every
thing, l must speak. ] must tell
you"
What? Everything! He stated every
thing, indeed; the situation, his scru-
| Piles, his great sorrow.
Antoinette and her mother sought to
interrupt him, repeating: 'But-but-"
He did not listen; he went on TO the
end. And then only were they able to
finish their sentences:
'But-we know i'll"
What! You know that my sister

In bis turn the young man kept quiet,
lowering his eyes, thinking of this mar
riage which might have saved his rela-
| tives.
But while lowering his eyes he saw
his red ribbon, and 1t. seemed to him he
heard an interior voice repeating the
sentence he had justuttered: at would
not be acting like n gentleman"
He also saw that Martha no longer
curled her dolls wig. Sitting on the
ground, mo~tionless and silent, the
child was looking at her mother, who
wept silently. She wept-in silence
also.

''go, in my name, and ask for Mile.

Antoinette's mother, after Julia had
formulated her request. Then, calling
her daughter, she added in the same

At first, Antoinctte was disconnected

impression, she appeared happy enough
for two. She was the first to speak Of
their plans, saying, as If inadvertently,
"these dear plans"
lie still called her ''mademoiselle,"
while she called him plain Frederick"
She consulted him about the details of
their future home. What shade did he
prefer for the curtains? And when
they were passing the glass works,
STOPPING to kiss Martha, she prompted:

The attorneys had taken the matter
in hand. Everything was ready, for
the lieutenant had told his sister:
Act for me. Have the settlements
drawn to suit yourself"
AS for him, to all questions he as
swered:
Yes. All right. AS you please"
So much so, that at last Julia took
him aside, and said to him:

ALI through the spring and sum-

All through the spring and sum-
mer four deer made merry ON the
banks of the West Canada creek oppo-
site the village of Northwood, n. Y.
The residents are truer sportsmen than
are usually found in the Adirondack
wilderness, and their respect for the
game laws caused them to leave the
deer in peace. As n result the latter
became very bold, and were frequent
ly seen along the banks of the stream.
The deer season opened on August is,
and on the night of the 18th some Of
the hunters made preparations to cap
ture those deer. They began their
hunt Immediately after midnight and
continued it until after sunrise, but
without result. Since then several
parties have searched in vain for the
deer, and now the hunters believe that
they have gone back into the heart of
the woods, and are wondering how the
animals learned that the season had
opened.

six or eight hours of every holiday in
u~ndisturbed work at their offices, where
on such days they are safe from the in

Others crowd the library of the Bar
association, and still others work quiet
