feeling that an appeal to Archbishop
Kahn to have the marriage take
place at the Homes residence would
be futile, presented the matter

Kahn at once made the necessary con-
cession, but for some reason the father
of Miss Homes is not satisfied with the
arrangement. The result will be that
the wedding will take place in the
Homes parlor; that Protestant min.
lister will ofiiciate, and that the Roman

A Farmer Killed by an Unknown Assassin
A Weak Axle Causes Wreck on the
Illinois Central RailrOad--A

TOLEDO, O., Feb 2O.-One Of the most
expensive fires that has visited Toledo
in the past two years was the burning
of the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern railway elevator "a" The fire
broke out at 1890 o'clock last night,
and as the building was located on the
river front, the fire department could
do nothing but let it burn and en-
deavor to save surrounding prop
erty. According to the best figures
obtainable, there was 100000 bush
els of wheat stored in the
elevator, and about 60 carloads
which were unloaded, making 1926, 900
bushels. The loss on elevator and
grain will aggregate SS55,OOO. The
grain was fully insured at market
value, while the elevator was insured
for 70 per cent of its value Nearly all
the leading grain firms Of the city had
grain stored in it. Spontaneous COM
bustion is given as the cause of the fire.
BY fortunate shift in the wind, two
other elevators were saved and some
$75O,OOO worth of vessel property in
winter quarters, There were 80 cars
burned on the tracks, making an extra
loss of $4,000 to $4,000.
