Birt thday Anniversary,

An exceedingly pleasant affair came of al
the county infirmary on Sabbath last. the
occasion being that of the 51st birthday an
nlversary of Superintendent Miller, in which
fifty odd persons, friens, relatives and
neighhors, participated.
It was a complete surprise to NJ. Miller,
his excellent wife arranging all the details,
keeping the whole an entire secret from him.
On Sabbath he attended church as usual and
was delayed in town after service by a
friend who was in the ecret, until the guests
had arrived at his home. When he returned
he was completely taken by surprise, but
was not long comprehending the situation,
and joined: in with his friends to make the
best of it.
among the entertainments provided for the
guests being a superb repast prepared by
Mrs. Miller, who has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best providers in this part of
the country. She fairly out did herself on
this occasion, the tables being loaded with
the substantials aud delicaces of of the sea-
son.
As token of esteem the friends gathered
presented Mr.. Miller with beautiful COM
bination desk and an easy chair. The pre-
sentation speech was made by Hon. J. V.
Cuff in few well chosen words Conrad, re-
turning thanks for the remembrance.

SENSATION.
A Very Young Man Disposes of his
Papa's Horse. and Leaves With
Matrimonial Intent.

NAPOLEON, O.. May 22-(Special. This
morning there was brought to light what
appears to be real sensation, in which a
couple Of prominent young people of Henry
county are the conspicuous figures. About
three weeks ago Otis Hall, the son of l.. M.
Hall, prominent farmer of Harrison town.
ship brought 3-year-old colt to Napoleon
and placed it in the care of Kolbe Bros, for
the purpose of having the animal broken to
the saddle and trained to drive. He claimed
that the animal belonged to him, and Kolbe
boys dealt with him accordingly and trained
the animal. Last Thursday he came to Ma
ppleon, brought another horse and a buggy
which he had put up at Kolbe's livery barn
and feed stables with orders to keep them
until called for. At the same time, he asked
one of the boys to sell the colt for him if he
could find buyer. A sale was soon made
for 500. He gave the seller, Gus. Kolbe, 81
for his trouble and left town with but his
horse and buggy. This morning his father
Mr.. L. M. Hall, called at the livery barn in.
quiring for his two horses and rig, and
stated that his son Otis had not yet returned
home.
Upon learning of the sale of the colt, he
declared that the animal belonged to him
(the father) and that the price paid is much
below real value. He gave it as his opinion
that the young man. who is not yet of age
had left the country to- get married
and that very likely his companion is
the daughter of a prominent farmer of Mon.
roe township. The affair has caused quite
sensation here, as both of the young people
are highly respected and we'll connected. Il
is thought that the young people have gon,
to Michigan to get ried.-Comnerci

Not aLa Wesley johnson,

Unlike Wesley johnson, Van Loon will
write biographical sketch of his life, in
stead of a confes .ion, to be published after
he is dead.
SIT will contain the truth, and all the
truth, but there won't be no confession. for
so far as the Columbus Grove affair is con-
cerned amt go no confession to make" he
says, "still it will be mighty interesting
reading"
Frank is not an adept at literary compost
ton, and his style lacks the elegance of an
Edwin Arnold, but by dint of hard work he
has manageable pile up quite little batch of
manuscripts. He has apparently given up
hope of escaping the gallows. for he says
that he won't be given fair chance before
the board of pardons, for the papers are pre-
iudicing the public by filling up columns to
show that he has made a confession of his
guilt. Sup to this time none ofthese papers
have been able to produce the confession, or
the man to whom it was made, still have to
suffer just the same. Now let me say that
If go through the hole my last words will
be that they hung the wrong man, and l

ELECTRIC MOTOR FOR CANAL
BOATS.
A Buffalo Man Has Plan to Utilize
the Trolley System.

A dispatch from Buffalo, N. Y, says: At
It's last session the. New York legislature
made an appropriation for the purpose Of
carrying on experiments as to the practica-
bility of applying electricity as motive
power for boats on the Erie canal. s. W.
Gear, of Buffalo, has perfected plan for
the application of the trolley system for
boats, and later in the season its workings
will be tested on the canal. There will be
three trolley wires over the water at equal
distances one from another. These wires
will be so adjusted that the boats can pass
each other by slipping their trolleys from
one wire to another. Each boat will have a
dynamo of from ten to fifteen horse power
in the stern, operating screw. Wires along
the banks will carrysoff the electricity after
use. Power stations will be necessary every
twenty miles. One motor boat, it is beIiev-
ed, could tow two other loaded boats at
speed doubled that attained by horses. Cap
italists are said to be already watching Mr..
Gears invention.

stroyed by fire Monday. The flames were
of unknown origin and started in the oil
compressed room, oil fuel being used in rum
ming the engine. Within four minutes the
entire interior of the greater portion Of the
plant was enveloped in flames, and many
employees had narrow escapes. being COM
PEELED to leap from the upper windows upon
the rool of the adjoining building. Peter
Landin and Matt Coldwin were seriously
burned, and Miss Tinnville, typewriter,
was overcome and would have perished had

erected five years ago and cost $4,000. and
when the Beattys sold it to the United States
Glass company, sixteen months since, they
received for it $273OOO. Manufactured goods

warehouse and were consumed. The loss on
the building is estimated at $4,000 the
main portion of the plant for the most part

Mr.. Smith has taken in the Worlds Fair
and speaks in high praise of it. For the ben
eft of his many friends he desires US to say
that all this talk about exhorbitant charges
in Chicago is untrue. He secured excellent

charged at home. He boarded quite dis

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
One Of Henry COunty'S Railroads in a
Bad Way Financially.

We regret to note that the Cloverleaf rail-
road passed into the hands of receiver Fri
day, Samuel R. Galloway being appointed.
The receiver was appointed in response to a
petition of the firm of Stout & Co., New
York.
Among other things they set forth that on
May II, 1893, IN an action in the Lucas coun-
ty common pleas court in which they were
plaintiffs and the Toledo, st. Louis q Kan.
sas City railroad was the defendant, judg-
ment was rendered against the railroad
company for $40, ,397, with interest from the
date of the decree, and the costs of the
suit; that such judgment is in full force, un-
reserved and unappealed from, and is a sub
sisting lien on the real estate OF the defend
ant in the State of Ohio. That after the
rendering of the Judgment the Sheriff was
unable to find any property whereon to
levy, as the defendant is and has been Who'll
ly insolvent and has no property viii oh can
be made subject TO execution. The petition
then recites at length the location of the
road, and afirms the fact that unless it is
maintained in its entirety, its capacity for
earning will be greatly impaired.
That on June 10, 1896, the railroad compa-
ny executed mortgage deed to the Ameri-
can Loan and Trust company, of New York,
and Joseph E. Mcdonald, of Indianapolis,
whereby it released and transferred to the
trustees all of its property for the purpose OF
securing its first mortgage bonds to the
amount of S9,S00,000, payable June l, 1916
with interest at the rate Of six per cent, pay
able annually.
Further Evidence of Insolvency.
No part of the principal has been paid
some of the interest is overdue, and there
will come due another interest payment on
June l, which the company is not and can
not be able to pay. Further, that the COM
pany is in arrears in its payments on con-
tracts for the use of yards, tracks and
bridges, both in this city and at East St.
Louis. That over 100000 of Judgments
were obtained against the road prior to the
insurance of the first mortgage bonds, in
| 1886, which still remain a lien upon the
property. That its floating indebtedness a
the present time amounts to more than $500
COO, and that a large number of suits hal
been Fl led, and more are in preparation, tc
recover judgments, and if allowed to be OBJ
tained the road will be sold, broken up anG
destroyed, land the title, rights and franchise:
clouded. That the pay roll for the month ot
April is unpaid. That there are due in the
State of Illinois taxes to the amount of $685..
900, which have long since been delinquent
That the road is largely indebted to connect
ing railway lines for advanced charges on
through business. That it owes the plaint-
ifs large sum in addition to the amount OF
the Judgment.
