Mr.. Labouchere charged Rhodes

he himself was responsible. Every

considered a friend of Spain, as he
was treated or board the schooner in
the same manner as the other men,
bers of the expedition.
AS to Laborde. the prosecutor point
ed out that he was the man who had
signed the proclamation found on
board the schooner when he was cap
tured.
The pilot Of the Mensajere and the
crew of that gunboat declared that
at the time the schooner was captured
she was not showing any flag.
In his defense Laborde declared
that he had not written or received
the letters and other papers found on
board, and that he had not signed

the
PENAL RECORD OF LABORDE,
showing him to have been a forger,
thief and kidnapper, and produced
letters written by him on board the
Competitor to persons at Key West,
advising them of the arrival Of the
expedition in Cuba.
Lieutenant Butron, recalled, said he
could not affirm that the prisoners
captured on board the Competitor
fired on the gunboat, and the pilot of
the Mensajere, also recalled, declared
the prisoners had not fired on the war
vessel, and asserted that no car
tridges had been found in their
pockets.
The prosecutor thereupon read the
formal act of accusation, declaring
the prisoners to be f1libusterers cap
tured in a state of rebellion against

Therefore, in the name of the king

Tho widow of Six soldiers.

There is a woman living in the Sinna-
mahouing valley, Pa, who was born an
Orr, and by marriage she has in turn
changed her name to Barnes, Callahan,
Rix, Enos, Robinson, Elder and now
Bailey. Each Of her six dead husbands
had been soldier in the late war, and
she married the first one in 1868, when
she was seventeen. 1t is hardly fair to
say either that these husbands we're en-
tlrely six, for not one Of them had all
of himself left when he succeeded to
the title OF husband to this admirer of
the military. Three of the husbands
had only one leg apiece; one had only
seven fingers, besides being short a leg;
another wooed and won the widow with
one leg and one arm, and the sixth was
minus an eye. This one died three
years ago last May Her present hus-
band is not veteran Of the war, and
has all his legs, arms, fingers and eyes.
Mrs Bailey is not yet forty-uine and is
the mother OF twelve children, two each
by her soldier husbands.

Toledo is all agog over the reported
escapade OF Col. Cheney and Mrs. John
Mockett, whom the papers state, were
found in a compromising position at a
celebrated assignatlon house Just out Of
Toledo. Mr.. Mockett is said to have
opened the door to this room, and OBJ
served the pair en- dishabille. Shortly
after Mr.. Mockett drove to his lawyer
and entered proceedings for divorce.
Mrs. Mockett is said to be located at
the home of Mr.. Cheney. 1t is report
ed that Mocl1ett has sued Cheney for
alienation OF his wife's affections plac-
ing the price at 100000. If this be
true he has done that which stamps
him as being far more base than the
woman whom he claims has deceived
him. No true man will place a none
terry valuation upon his wife's atfcc-
tions.

During the preliminary agitation of
the new electric railway in Bowling
Green, the PERRYSBURG JOURNAL felt
called upon to exhibit very irascible
spirit at Bowling Green's attitude to-
ward the railway" the editor going so
far as TO charge our citizens with jeal-
ousy of Perrysburg. The fact that
Bowling Green has adopted an ordi-
dance, while Perrysburg is still in the
midst of squabble. makes the JOUR

Not at all so, dear Sentinel. The
JOURNALS position has been one in
dicating good judgment and to a cer-
tain extent rather prophetic. We
never took any exceptions to the Bow
ling Green council getting all the,
could out OF the railway company. But
the JOURNAL did claim and still thinks
that the foolish position assumed by
certain b. G. people made them appear
extremely silly when they pushed their
hats over on the SIDE OF their heads,
and with great display of buncomb
announced that 1--WE don't propose to
have any electric road in here to ruin
our trade" Others said-"well, we'll
let 'em come, il they come by way of
Haskins and oWaterville, but we'll sit
down on any connection with Perrys-
burg" Only Il few days before con-
struction commenced one OF Bowling
Green's most prominent merchants be-
came very indignant when the JOUR-
NAL editor stated to him that the road
'would be constructed and the Plank
road route to Perrysburg would be
adopted" He arose to his full height,
gave his quid of tobacco an extra heavy
grind and said d-"we'll show you whetb-
er they do or not" since which time
we have been waiting to be shown.
Furthermore Bowling Green people
have freely stated that the road would
injure Il. q. while 1t would greatly
benefit Perrysburg, hence their OPP
