for all probable military requirements,
it is sadly deficient in every other
means necessary for either defensive
or aggressive successful foreign war.

SAM RADGES IS APPOINTED
Made Receiver of the Spreat Depart
rnenf Store.
JUDGE HAzgE PRAISES MR. RADGES.

Says He is the Most Economical Re-
ceiver the Court Ever Nad-Nevss
A6Ouf the County Court House.
Col. San Radges was this morning ap-
pointed receiver of the Model Supply
store by District Judge Hazen. He gave
the $4,000 bond which the Judge re-
quired and Immediately took possession
OF the store. The doors were closed and
tue stock will be invoiced and sold in
bulk at auction.
The receivership was not secured with
out a contest, and there were several dis
appointed creditors when the Judge an
nounced his determination. Judge Ha-
zen said that he had decided on appoint
ing receiver SO the arguments
of the attorneys this morning were flu
tile.
Attorneys Dobbs and W. r Razen re-
sisted the application of d. NJ. Newburg
q Son for the received.
In his argument Mr.. Hazen read over
the names of the creditors, and amounts
which Dobbs, McClintock and he repre-
sented, and stated that not more than
five per cent of the creditors wanted a
receiver. Fl. G. Larimer, who was neu-
trail, afterward estimated that creditors
representing about fifteen per cent of
the Indebtedness wanted receiver
"The court is of the opinion that of all
the cases ever before it, this one requires
prompt action" said Judge Hazen. "To
continue retail business means ruin for
the creditors. To turn the stock over
from one creditor to another as each sat
isfied his claim would make innumera-
Bile complications. l shall appoint re-
ceiver, who will invoice each class of
goods by itself and sell them in bulk to
the highest bidders"
II would like to suggest the appoint
ment of Mr.. James M. Tanner as receiv-
en-" remarked Mr.. Histed.
1.-The court is making this appoint
ment; gentlemen, 1 shall make this N.Y.
SELF" replied the judge
"lhose attorneys have got together
Saturday, and liked the job all up" said
w R. Hazen.
"Gentlemen, 1 have not consulted with
anyone about this" said the Judge. 81
am going to appoint the most econcmi-
cal receiver this court has ever had and
that is Sam Radges. There is no need
of the receivership lasting thirty days"
After Mr.. Radges had been given in
structions and gone, Mr. Dobbs stated
that w. H. Davis, his client. was remov-
ing some of the goods from the store
which he had put in. Judge Hazen
told him he had better notify Davis to
desist. As the attorney did not move
after the judge had heard several mo-
tions, he again repeated his instructions
and cautioned Mr.. Dobbs that he would
fine him for contempt The attorney
explained that message had been sent
to him.
Thirty~three mortgages have been
tiled amounting to over $50, 001.

Belgium visiting with the family Of
United States Minister James Ewing,
but when the first gun in the Kentucky
senatorial campaign was fred last spring,
she packed her trunk, forsook the gay
life of diplomatic society and hurried
back to the Blackburn home, in Yer
sailles, to aid her father in his great
struggle for reelection.
She received his letters and kilograms,
sent answers in the absence of her
father and wired him of any new devel-
opmeDt in his canvass. She also received
with captivating grace and tact the
friends and constituents who called at
the senator's house. Miss Corinne is
of tall and commanding figure, her
eyes and hair are dark brown. and her
complexion is clear and beautiful. She
is a thorough woman of the world, and
her charming manners are equally we'll
known in Kentucky, Washington and
Brussels. She is talented musician,
a splendid conversationahst and poll
tieian from the ground up.
1t is related that the fight in the Ken
lucky legislature in 1888 was unusually
close and exciting. Senator Cerro Gordo
Williams was a candidate for re-elec-
ton, and Blackburn, then a congress-
man, was endeavoring to capture the
coveted place. The legislature was
deadlocked and remained so for two
weeks, during which time feeling at the
state capital was keyed to high pitch
of excitement. One day, after the sew
enty second ballot, it was announced
that young bachelor senator had been
won over to the Blackburn camp, and
on the seventy third ballot Blackburn
was elected to the United States senate.
Miss Corinne was credited with having
turned the deadlock into victory for
her father

The following "Reminiscences of an in
stance of a railroad career of many
years was written for the railroad de-
parsment of the STATE JOURNAL by a
well know Santa Fe engineer:
e.. On seeing the account in the papers of
the attachment of Santa Fe engine at
Atchison for taxes, 1 was reminded of
an experience l had on the Lafayette.
MuncieS s. Bloomington railway, which
is now part of the Lake Erie & Western
road, at Frankfort, Ind was pulling a
local freight with an eight
wheel Brooks engine and just
after stopped at the depot

ter, and he stepped behind me and put
ting his arm around my waist grasped
the lever firmly in his hands, at the same
time calling out to some men standing
on the ground, "Come on, boys, we've
got the law on our side" At that, five
other men climbed up the left
side of the cab l had a little "buA-
dog" revolver in my seat box, and not
knowing what was up, took it out and
partially turning, q could not move
away on account of the constable's arm
being around my waist) pointed it at
them over my captOr's shoulders and
told them if they did not want a new

They "got," falling over each
other in their hurry to get out
of range. then asked my
three legged custodian what he wanted,
aud he told me that he had an attach
ment on the engine for taxes. asked to
Look at it, and found he had only delin-
quent tax list, the L, II. & B being one
of the number. l then told him that he
had nothing authorizing him to

men to go ahead, requested him to
release the lever or he might have some
regrets. He thought not, and again
called for his assistants to come and help
him; but they, probably dseming discre-
ton the better part of valor, concluded
they could sse as we'll at a distance. l
then inhaled a good long breath, and
bracing my hands against the cab, sud-
denly projected my body backw ards,
breaking his hold and throwing
him to the floor on the opposite side in
front of the fireman's box, who was sit
ting there. The fireman, taking the cue
! gave him, kicked the water glass and
it broke with a loud noise, the steam
and hot water frightening my would be
captor to such an extent that he jumped
from the cab, forgetting in his haste his
wooden legs. The doughty constable
had on a pair of pantafoons with both
legs complete, and he presented very
comical appearance hopping about on
one leg, the loose pantaloon leg Topping

himself. l got out of town all right and
