all sorts of hardships Some ten DAYS
ago he surprised his friends by announc-
ing his intention of getting married. and
about week ago turned up with love

Russ House. The story now goes that
he made wager of 81. 900 with his uncle
that his wife had courag e enough to IN.

out either of them having any money or
luggage. The condition was imposed
that not more than two years should be
occupied in the trip. and that the travel
ers must not receive any help from
friends, but must earn every cent they
get from the time of departure until
their return. The conditions were
promptly agreed TO, and as no partieu-
lar preparations were necessary IL was
decided to commence the long Journey
at once. The friends of the bride and
groom assembled at the hotel and the
crowd was increased by number of Gu
rious spectators. so that when the last
good-byes We're said and the plucky lit
tie woman and her big husband took
the first step out of doors they were
greeted by cheers from an assemblage
of several hundred people They bowed
their thanks. aid trudging along were

Movement Looking TO That End Taken Up
by Certain Interests.
NEW YORK. sep. a4.-Certain interests
have made il their business TO undertake
movement looking 10 the retirement %
greenbacks. They do this on the principle
that what is everybody's business is no
body's business, and unless some person
makes business of seeing that green
backs are retired they will not be retired.
One of the first steps in the movem ent is
stated 10 be to corral them in sufficient
amount so as to be able to turn them into
the government at the right time without
contracting the currency when il should
not be contracted. and to contract 1t, per
haps, Of the present time when it would
do no harm.
A study Of the clearing house statements
shows that certain banks are already be-
ginning TO accumulate legal tenders The
banks of New York already hold about
So, $4,000 of the greenbacks, which is a
large proportion TO start with. The treas
ury of the United States holds net about
$50, 100000, which together is nearly one
third of the total amount issued. The
other two-thirds, about $229, coo, 600, are in
circulation, mostly in small denomina
tions, which can easily be secured by the
banks in due course of trade and to han
die them easily after congress acts upon
the matter. 1t is fact that the green
backs are slowly getting into fewer hands
and in this fact lie great possibilities for
the immediate future.

AN OLD MAN MURDERED.
He Was Shot, Chopped in the Head an,
 Then Robbed.

Then Robbed.
 Richmond, Va, Nov GA Lurayville Va, special to the Dispatch says:
 One of the most shocking murders ever perpetrated in this county was committed yesterday afternoon at the home of MT. Willis Kibler, near the base of the Mas sahutton mountain. about five or six miles northwest of Luray. MT. Kibler himself was the victim He was n years old and unmarried, and his household consisted of himself and a nephew, New ton Kbler, a boy IF or Is years of age who was blowing not far from the house, when his uncle returned home about i o'clock after having been to Springfield to vote. MT. Kibler said he was not feel ing we'll and after giving the boy some directions went to the house. About an hour afterwards the nephew heard the report of a gun, and four or five minutes later two more shots, and upon entering the house discovered the dead body of his uncle lying in the yard. He had been shot In the left side of the face, the load ranging upward and entering the brain. The back part of his head was crushed in with a blunt instrument and the victim s throat was cut, the windpipe being sey- cred. The shots were fired through the window of the kitchen. The murderer, however made sure of hastenng the end by the blow on the head and the use of the knife. The gun used belonged to the murdered man, and an axe said to be- long to the place was found. The pock- cts of the old mans coat, where he usual ly carried his money, were found to be empty. Some suspicious are entertained as to the perpetrator of the horrible deed. The deceased was Confederate veteran and generally respected.

A Fertilizer Company Fails,

Charleston, s. C., Nov. 6.-The Ashley Phosphate company of this city made an assignment today to MT. ". Brandford Frost. The Ashley is one of the old line companies of Charleston, and much sur prise was expressed in business circles over this action.
 In public statement made by interest cd parties regarding the assignment they say: "The coming season promised to be the best in the fertilezer trade for many years, and the Ashley company had ev- cry reason to believe that if left alone for a few months it would not only be able to pay it's creditors in full, but do good business. But a number of Its creditors residing away from the city were upwill-- ing to give any possible extension and evinced disposition which would have been ruinous to the company"
 The failure is further attributed to the had season for fertilizers which has just passed. The amount of the Ashley op- ligations is not given to the public.
