GIRL KEEPS THE DIAMOND
Kentucky Justice Rules on Ownership
of an Engagement Ring.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. IA decision
that will mean much to lovers in all
parts of the country is that just made
by Magistrate Adams in his court here.
The parties to the case were Albert
E Smith, a bookkeeper. and Miss Nellie
Stewart, who once were lovers, but now
are not.
Smith met Miss Stewart about year
ago. She is a brunette and decidedly
pretty, and the young man fell in love
at first sight. 1t was not long before
they were engaged, and as seal to
their betrOthaI Smith gave the young
woman diamond ring.
Smith, later learning that one even
ing while he was busy at his office his
finance attended a dance with a young
man he had always regarded as rival,
demanded that the engagement be de-
clared off and that the girl return his
ring.
The young woman seemed perfectly
willing to declare the engagement at an
end, but she positively refused to re
turn the ring. Smith then filed suit
in Magistrate Adams court to recover
the jeweled band.
Miss Stewart filed a counter claim.
She alleged that the value of the ring
had been many times consumed by the
plaintiff in fuel and lights used during
his many calls upon her, and that she
was justly entitled to the ring as COM
pensatiOn.
Magistrate Adams after hearing the
testimony decided the young woman's
claim just and declared she should keep
the ring.

HALL AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
Preacher Accused of Taking Church
Furnishings at Ashtabula-

Ashtabula, O., Sept. Rev. L. A.
Hall, formerly of Chicago but recently
of Ashtabula, who attained an unenvi-
able notoriety in connection with GER
tain stories associating his name with
that of certain young women of his
congregation, is said to be again in hot
water.
The church whose pulpit Mr.. Hall
had been filling. the First Baptist. was
destroyed by fire a fortnight ago. Mem
bers engaged in saving the furniture
found that many articles were missing.
It has just been made known by the
proprietor of the boarding house where
Mr.. Hall boarded, George Fassett, that
on the day before the fire Mr.. Hall
packed up a big bible, some dishes,
chenille pOrtieres and collection baskets
in a trunk, which he took with him
when he left for Chicago, a few hours
after the fire. He had a valise and
several large bundles when he left Ash
tabula- When he came here in the
spring he had only a valise.

PROTEST ON TAXES.
Rebellion by City Commissioners
Against Addition to Values.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. THE state
board of equalization will meet at the
secretary of states office here today.
There is expectation that the New York
city tax commissioners will appear be-
fore the board and make strong pro-
test against any addition to New York
values The course pursued usually
by the state board is to add from $780,,
100000 to $1OO,000,000 to New York's val
uation, the benefit accruing to the rural
counties. The table of equalization is
made up by the tax commissioners and
is usually accepted by the state board
of equalization without question. 1t is
a noticeable fact that New York city
for years has been denied representa-
ton on the state tax commission, and
assessment, equalization and taxation,
has been at the mercy of the upstate
officers.
between railroad assessments are found
in the local tax books. The railroad as
sessments vary in different towns from
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile of single track
and from $1,000 to $4,000 of double
track.
The assertion is made in some quar-
ters that a scandalous condition of af-
fairs exists in regard to the assessment
of railroad property. The charge is
made that in some tax districts the
boards of assessors are controlled by
the railroads, whom they favor to the
extent of thousands of dollars in max
ing valuations of railroad property for
taxation

MRS. DIGGS' PROTEST
Against the Invitation of VIM. P. c.
Breckenridge to Topeka.

Mrs. Annie L. Diggs said today in
speaking of the invitation extended to
Col. w. c. P. Breckenridge to visit To-
peka during the G. A. r. reunion:
"A chorus of Indignation greets the
announcement that Col. Breckenridge
will be brought to Topeka. It is no
small honor to bestoW upon a man to
be invited to Kansas to speak upon so
fine an occasion. The south is rich with
men of high character and fine gifts of
oratory. Southern men are pre- emin-
emily chivalrous and Jealous as defend
ers of womanhood. It passes all COM
prehension why a man so brazenly
black of character, so StOlidly unre-
pentant, should be selected to t1aunt
his f1ippant disregard of decency in the
presence of Kansas men and women.
col. Breckenridge grossly misrepre-
sents the men of the sunny southland
and the greatest kindness which could
be shown the gray-haired scoundrel
would be to permit the public to forget
him.
1T is especially out of harmony with
the spirit OF the occasion where peace
and purity are to be made the dom
inant notes that q representative of
that which is most destructive of these
qualities of human character should be
selected as spokesman.
without doubt the most depraved
element in the slums of the cities will
be overjOyed to find their course vim
dicated by the honor bestowed upon one
of their kind. But, alas, for the panied
sensibilities of those who must bear in
silence the affront upon decency and
deport themselves toward the guest Of

UP THE WHITE NILE.
Five British GunbOats Push
Forward From khartOum.

Khartoum, Sept. Five gunboats
have proceeded up the White Nile.
London, Sept. THE dispatch from
Khartoum announcing that five British
gunboats have pushed up the White
Nile is regarded as highly significant
The Sirdar telegraphed on Saturday
that the condition of the bank of. the
Nile made it impossible to utilize the
gunboats in the pursuit of Khalifa Abb
dullah, who had fed toward Kordofan.
The only inference, therefore. is that
the gunbOats have now gone to Join
hands with Major Macdonald who is
now known to be on his way northward
from Uganda, an operation which has
long been contemplated by the govern
ment.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor
OF the exchequer, announced in parlia-
ment on June q last that an attempt
would be made to open up commerce
with the interior of Africa by a fiotiHa
on the Nile.

Il am very much astonished and dis

Spaniards at Manila Convinced That

London, Sept.7.-The Hong Kong cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph,
says:
Americans living in the far east are
unanimously in favor of the annexation
of LuzOn, which, so far as finance and
trade are concerned, forms the main
portion of the Philippines. Spain might
retain the rest of the archipelago, of
which only portions at present are of
value, as for instance, Panay and
Cebu.

that Spanish rule in LuzOn is at an end.
The mOnaStic orders, anxious on ac-
count of their large property in the in
terror, are endeaVoring to dispose of it.
They would welcome American or Eng

Considerable anxiety exists regard

PLACING THE BLAME.
Little is Known Regarding the Cause
of the Cornwall Disaster.

Toronto, Ont Sept. IA special dis
patch to the Globe from Cornwall, CIV
ing details of yesterdays bridge acct
dent there says the cause of the dis
aster will not be positively known until
divers have searched the wreck lying
in the bottom of the St. Lawrence. Tlaf
river is divided by Cornwall island, and
the scene of the disaster was in the
channel. There are two stone piers in
the center of the stream supporting
three spans of iron work, each 80 feet
long and 81 feet above high water. The
accident centered around the pier near
er the south, or American shore. 1t was
about three minutes to the noon hour
when the WOrkmen on that part OF the
bridge say two of the southern spans
gave way beneath them and they were
thrown into the water or caught and
crushed in the wreck. None Of them
can give a clear idea of what happened
and there will probably be expensive
litigation before the liability is placed.
The piers and mason work were built
by the Sooy Smith company of New
York and the iron work by the Phoenix
Bridge company of PhoenlxV1lle, Vt.
The masonry though not formally ac-
cepted was practically completed and
all the men at work were employees OF
the bridge company. Naturally, there-
fore, the tendency, so far as 1t 1s based
on the testimony OF employees, Is TO
blame the Sooy Smith company. On the
other hand there is the emphatic state
ment of an eye witness to the contrary.
Captain BOnnOr, on the tug Beaver,
was a short distance below the bridge
at the time and says that the southerly
span collapsed first, pulling the pier
and the next span with it towards the
American shore. The spans which feu
had lust been completed, and the false
work underneath was being removed,
and it is possible that in some way
the bridge was injured. Another theory
is that the foundation of the pier had
been undermined by water and crun-
bled away, dragging down the bridge.
In that case the pier would not show
signs of being pulled towards the south
ern shore. but would be directly in the
channel of the river. Only a thorough
investigation can settle the point.

SET FREE BY MEXICANS.
Morton Hudson of Indiana, Charged
With Murder, is Released.


Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. IA tele-
gram was received from Mexico tonight
saying that Morton Hudson, son of the
late Colonel r. N. Hudson, who had
been under arrest accused of murder,
has been released, supposedly after
trial.
Young Hudson and a fellow ranch
man of Texas were riding in Mexico,
just over the border, a few months ago,
when they met some highwaymen. A
fight followed, in which two of the
Mexican bandits were shot and killed.
Hudson and his companion, fearful OF
Mexican justice, attempted to escape
arrest and for two days were in hiding.
This action was miscOnstrued and
when arrested they were held for muir
der Ex-Secretary of the Navy Thomp-
son. w R. McKeen, Congressman
Faris and Senator Fairbanks interested
the state department at Washington IN
Hudson's behalf, and Minister Powell
Clayton. in the City of Mexico, was in
structed to ask the Mexican govern
ment to expedite the trial
The Mexican government communl-
Gated with the authorities of the Mex
lean state where the young men were
held, with the result of a speedier dis
position of the case.
Hudson and his companion have been
well treated while in Jail.

SPAINIS RESIGNED
To the Surrender of the Philippines
for Consideration.

London, Sept. THE Vienna CORES
pondent of the Times says:
According to the Politische Cores
pondenz, it is believed in Paris diplo-
matte circles that the United States
has decided to annex the Philippine
archipelago, and it is suggested there
that Spain is now resigned to a sur
render of the islands for a considera-
ton
feeler, but it takes the wrong view in
supposing that there could be any bar
gain between the United States and
Spain. Much will depend on the testi-
mony of General Merritt and other Of
dcers, who are going to Paris. 1t is be-
Heved here that Admiral Dewey will
also be called to Paris, and that the
council of these officers will exercise a
strong influence in favor of annexation.
