Benton, Pa, June 14-The people of
Swinburne two miles west of here, are
greatly wrought up over the fact that
their Methodist preacher, Rev. J. B.
Kashen, is reported to have accepted $500
which he won to-day in a horse race. His
congregation bought the horse, a PAGER.
for him and paid S175 for it last week,
DR.. John Hornung of the congregation
saw the clergyman speeding his PAGER on
the pike yesterday and offered to forfeit
$500 if the doctors nag could not beat the
dOminie's in a race.
The race came off to-day and the pas
tors horse won. 1t was a lively drive
from the stone bridge to the toll gate The
doctor, it is said, paid the wager at once,
and the friends of the preacher say he
would be excusable in accepting'i it as a
gift. Many Swinburne and Benton people
lined the turnpike and witnessed the race.

man of some property, is missing from the

of desertiOn and sued for divorce and ali
mony when the angry wife finds him, for
il is alleged that he has left her for a
fairer face. Several days ago Arnold in
formed his wife that he intended going to

would be interesting to his friends when
he returned. He wished her to be
well provided for in his absence,
he said, and gave her $40 and then left

lonely wife started in search of her miss

oLENN MAKEs A pENIAL.
he Denounoss a Report That He Was
Intimate with MRS. Rawson.


Atlanta. Ga, June l6-Ilon. John r.
/ Glenn. Secretary Hoke Smiths law
/ partner. whose name has been associated
/ with the Rawson divorce suit, today
publishes the following card Nhich eN-
plains itself:
To- TIE Public.
Atlanta Ca. June 20. 1898 Rumors con.
Meeting me with the paternity az Mrs Raw
sons child have been prevalent ia the city
for several days. and the newspapers are now
publishing them. ] denounce all such rumOrs
as Infamous falsehoOds and without the
slightest foundation Of truth. ANY person
who states that there was ever. In the slight
est degree. any improper relations between
Mrs. Rawson and myself is an infamous liar
and base slanderer Of an innocent woman
JOHN Il. GLENN.
He also prepared another card as com
ing from his firm and Hopkins II Sons,
Mrs Rawson's attorneys, asking the
public TO withhold judgment of their
client until the case is tried in court II
is not their policy to try the case in the
newspapers, but the attorneys assert pos
itively that they will prove the spotless
conduct of their client.
Mr.. Glenn's card in reference to the re
port that he may be charged with the
paternity of Mrs Rawson's child was due
10 an open'publication of this rumOr in
the Macon Telegraph to-day This paper
was shown him by a representative Of a
local paper which had already insinuated
as much as the Macon papers direct
statement. and after several hours con-
sideration and consultation, he gave out
the card above.
HAMMOND WON'T TALK.
Judge w. r. Hammond, attorney for
Mrs. Rawson. who openly argued the
question of the paternity of Mrs. Raw
sons child, was also shown the public
statement that Mr.. Glenn would probably
be named as correspondent in the cross
bill which he will file for his
brother-in-law. While he did not
authorize this statement published,
Judge Hammond fatty refused to
deny or affirm its truth. 1t would have
been very easy for Judge Hammond to
denounce the report duplicating Mr..
Glenn without foundation, and his re
fusal to do so has excited more gossip
than ever.
Mr.. Glenn is one of the most influential
men in the city and admittedly one of the
ablest lawyers in the state. He served a
term as mayor four years ago. Both his
friends and the friends of the lady are
firm in the belief that there is no truth
in the charge. Judge Hammond,
has, however, made the most direct
charge of infidelity on the part of the
wife, but names no third party in the
case. This has left the public to draw its
own conclusions and the wagging tongues
have done that without hesitation
Judge Marshal j. Clarke in whose
court the application for divorce is made,
is relative of Sidney Rawson and cannot
try the case.

whereabouts, and the extent of
his defalcatiOn is not known yet
Hubby had been in the en-
plOy of the Mallory Line for the past
fifteen years and had been their agent
here for six years He had always been
considered honest. 1t will be remem bered
that he figured in a sensational divorce
case here three years ago, when his bride
of an hour, a Mrs. Thorpe of Petersburg,
Va, claimed that she was compelled to
marry him under threats of death. The
marriage was annulled by the courts
Hubby's friends did not believe the
woman's story, and he chose to remain

INMAN ON COTTON.
he Does Not Pretend to Forecast the
Size OF the Coming Crop.

Atlanta, Ga, June 16.-In a brief inter
view with S. M. Inman concerning the
cotton crop that well-known gentleman.
who stands high in the cotton trade of
America, was made to say that this years
crop would be smaller than last years
This was an error. In talking
10 the reporter Mr.. Inman
said that this years plant was
smaller than last year, referring to the
plant itself and not to the crop, the late
ness OF the season and frequency of the
cold snaps during the spring being the
cause of the undoubted hardness in the
development of the cotton plant. 1t was
to this that Mr.. lnman referred in speak
ing of the smallness of the plant. As 10
the size of the crop he expressed no opin-
ion, stating that he was not prepared to
talk with any degree of accuracy on the
subject at this time.
