to the small size of the bridge aud
shaliowness OF the stream, ths bridge
is beng repaired without delay.

GRAHAM EGERTON'S FLIGHT.

Unable to Raise Money, The Dickson
County Trustee AbscOnds.
DICKSON, Jan. l9.-The facts con-
corning G. EgertOn, the back tax
attorney for Dickson County, are
these: On the first Monday in Jam
uary the County Court ordered Mr..
Egerton to pay over to the County
Trustee, Mr.. Eubanks, $1,000, which
be said he would pay the Tuesday
following. On monday night he
went to Nashville and did not pay
Mr.. Eubanks as per order of the
court.
Some days after this he gave the
Comptroller of the State a check for
taxes due the State, which was
about $500 or 800, but instead of the
check being paid when it was pre-
sented it went to protest. The
Comptroller, after not receiving the
money Oh the check, sent his bonds
men kilograms to meet him at Dick
son last Saturday, which they
did, but they did not do anything
about the matter, as they were not
fully convinced that EgertOn had
left.
Since Saturday there has been
much confusion concerning the mat
ter and his wife has made a few
statements. She says that he talked
! to her about it and the money was
used in the interest of a certain
party in the recent campaign, from
whom he expected to get it back to
meet the demands of the State and
county. After he had eXerted every
power to get this money from this
party referred to and failed, be
wrote his wife a letter from Frank
lin which was written Jan. 2, telling
her to prepare herself for the emer-
gency, for she might expect to be
greatly annoyed by the public, as
he had failed in his efforts so far to
get the money; that she would not
hear from him any more until he
got the money, but need not suffer
any uneasiness whatever, as he
would be back as soon as he got the
money.
Mr.. Egerton's relatives are very
wealthy, and his wife believes that
he had gone back to them. They
live in England. from where he
came. His friends believe he will
show up and make everything all
right, as they don't think the default
was Intentional on his part. Eyer
ton was one of the leading men of
the county, a lawyer, Justice of the
Peace and Notary Public He has a
nice wife and three little children,
and his friends can't believe that
there was any intent of this kind in
his mind.

United In Marriage to Miss Lucille Eos.
ter, of Louisiana.
SHREVEPORT, La, Jan. 20.-The
marriage of Congressman BENTON
McMillin, of Tennessee, and Miss A.
Lucille Foster, of this city, was cele-
brated at o'clock this evening at
the First Presbyterian Church, Rev.
Matthew Van Lear officiating. The
high social standing and promi-
hence of the parties gave additional
brilliancy to the occasion, and the
beautiful edifice, festooned with
rare flowers, was filed with the
fashionable and elite both of this
city and from abroad.
The attendants were Congressman
Dinsmore, of Arkansas, best man
ushers, Congressman John w.

lishment and consisted of heavy
satin, with court train, decorated
with orange buds. The costume
was made with high neck and long
sleeves. The bridal veil was caught
with diamond star, gift from her
father. Miss Foster made a lovely
and charming bride. Her dark
brown eyes and exquisite complex
ion, combined with a graceful
figure, would have made a picture
on which could have been inscribed
"A Louisiana BELLE"
Miss Foster has long reigned a
queen in social circles. Her beauty

have won her friends in both South
and North. Miss Foster is the

foremost Congressman in this coun
try. He is a Kentuckian by birth
and is a member of one of the mos
noted families in the State. He i:
now serving his ninth consecutive
