WADLINGT0R GETS BAIL.
Released at Hopkinsville on S. 900
Bond.

Claude Wellington, the slayer OF
w. Parks Wilson, was released on
bail at his examining trial at Hop
kinsville Saturday. Wadlington is
the youth who was captured at Full
ton by Marshal Walker while at
tempting to escape, and passed
through Paducah en- route back to
the scene of his crime.
The evidence showed that Wilson
struck Wellington in the face, and
self-defense will probably be proven
by the defense.
Judge Cook decidsd to admit the
prisoner to bail in the sum of S., 900
which was promptly given with the
following Trigg county men as
bondsmen: W. p. Wadlington,
Thomas Wadlington, w. NJ. Wad.
lington, T. F. Redd, z. Z. Wash, j.
r. Gollady, c. Elmo Jones, Robert
W. Roach and j. j. Roach.
The case is set for trial on the oath
day Of the present term of court. 1t
is not likely that either side will be
ready by that time, and the case will
probably be postponed.

The people of Mr.. Bryan's state
have reduced their mortgage indebt-
edness about seven million dollars in
the past year despite the fact that
free coinage of silver was not adopt
cd in 1896. The farm mortgages
released during the year amounted to
ti4,767 900, and the new mortgages
filed, 1884 900, while in the cities
the mortgages filed during the last
six months Of 1897 were 81 800, 900
and those released 81, 245, 600. As
Stunning that the work OF the first six
months Of 1897 in the cities was as
satisfactory as that Of the last half Of
the year the reduction in mortgages
in Nebraska would amount to be-
tween seven and eight million dol
lars.

THE LIE
Given to Weyler By a German
Captain, Who Knows Where
VI He is Speaking.
He Says Mines Are ut Havana,
and the Late Captain Knows
It-German Saw Them.
A special from Newport News, W

| A special from Newport News, W
IVA, Of Saturday the 18th inst; says
Capt. Gronmeyer, Of the German
steamship Castillo, now in port GIL
ing its bunkers for a trip to Han
burg, tells startling story in con
firmation of the fact that the battle
ship Maine was destroyed by treach
cry. He declares that he saw sub
marine mines laid in the harbor Of
Havana two years ago. Capt Gron.
meyer is well known here, MS vessel
touching at this port every few
months, and he is considered entirely
trustworthy by those who are intim-
ately acquainted with him. In an
interview late tonight Capt. Gron.
meyer said;
about two years ago l had occa-
sion to take my vessel into harbor
at Havana. Just before reaching the
entrance to the harbor signals were
run up on shore warning me not to
enter. Almost immediately a gov
eminent tug put out from the piers,
and in few minutes a government
pilot clambered over the rail of the
Castillo and proceeded to take the
vessel into the harbor. l asked the
pilot what this all meant. He ia.
fo,med me that the government auth
critics were placing submarine mines
in the bottom of the harbor, and
that it was exceedingly dangerous
for a vessel to enter except under the
pilotage of one who knew where the
terrible engines Of destruction were
situated.
"My curiosity was somewhat
aroused and l afterward watched the
men placing the mines with good
deal Of interest, They were cylind-
rical.lookiug affairs, about eighteen
inches long snd about six inches
Mound Two wires were attached
to each mine. one being taken to one
bank and one to the other, where

The United States minister to
Mexico in q recent report to the
State Department, says that the
Mexican Secretary Of the Treasury
in his recent annual report states that
one Of the principal factors restrict
ing foreign trade is the fall and auc-
tuations in the price of silver. A
high rate Of exchange, say Secretary
Limantour, need not necessarily so
depress trade il it were permanent in
its character, as trade could be
adapted to any rate, but the con-
slant fluctuations in the price of sill

The OSBORNE
Will Be q New Boat Thursday
Next,
She Will Then Resume Her Trans
ferring I or the Illinois
Central.

The big Illinois Central transfer
steamer Osborne, after being on the
dock in Ducks nest for several
months past, will be let out Thursday
next, and resume her run between
Paducah and Brooklyn, almost new
boat.
The work done on the boat cost
$50, 900 or more, and is the best that
could be procured. The Illinois
Central always has the best and mos.
skilled labor.
After being brought back to the
city to resume her run, the Marian
will be returned to Cairo, where she
was stationed before coming here.
In appearance the Osborne is one
of the prettiest boats Paducahans will
ever have the pleasure of seeing.
She has been almost completely re-
constructed, two pilot houses and a
new cabin having been built, and an
entire new coat Of paint given her.

THOSE persons who cannot under
stand the reason for the low price OF
cotton, can get some idea from the
following facts: The cotton crop
for the year will reach IL, 900, 900
bales and possibly half million more.
While in 1872 the cotton crop Of this
was only 2,975 900 bales.
The enormous cotton crop, the past
few years of depression and the
European shortage in the wheat crop,
explain why cotton is so low.

SOUTH SEA ISLAND CUSTOMS.
Some PeculiarI.Ics of Love Making
and Marriage Among the Fill
Islanders and Others.

One would imagine that love making
In Fiji was very tame affair from the
fact that marriages are often arranged
while those most nearly concerned are
still in their infancy. However, court
ship there is quite as interesting as
anywhere else, and it has some peculiar
features, says the Chicago Times-Her-
aid.
Cupid's happy hunting ground is gem
orally a garden or plantation, and on
a moonlight evening he is generally
pretty busy. At that time, high up in
the branches of the bread fruit trees,
those who have eyes to see may spy a
pair of human love birds perched on
the branches 40 feet or so from the
ground. Fijian etiquette seems to de-
mand that the fair one and her lover
should occupy different branches, and
should be separated by the trunk OF
the tree-this, at any rate, is the usual
custom.
"Spare the bite and spoil the child"
would probably be the South Sea island
mothers rendering of the wise mans
saying, for she knew nothing of the
use of the rod as a means of correc-
ton.
Instead of furnishing her offspring
In ways known to European mothers
she pulls hair and bites some part OF
Its body, generally selecting the fleshy
part of its arm for the purpose. Thus
1t happens that travellers note among
little South Sea islanders many bear
ing wounds or scars which have been
produced by the mothers teeth.
The mode of caress is as queer as
that of punishment. 1t is either to
gently take hold of the child's nech
with the teeth, or to pass the thumt
deftly over its eyebrow or cheek.
