A Serious Question.

Just at this time the people of both
this country and Cuba are considering
the propriety of the Annexation Of the
island Cuba to the American Union.
This is question which is, and ought
to be considered independent of the
acquisition of the Islands
of the Pacific ocean Cuba in SO
near to us, commanding as it were, the
mouth of our great Mississippi river,
and thereby endangering large and
valuable part of our interstate and
foreign commerce, and Offering, in case
of war, convenient location for for
eign enemy from which to attack our
country, cripple our trade, and assist
in harrassing our borders; this, with
the fact that the island is naturally an
integral part of the common heritage
dedicated to freedom on the Western
Continent
We would not force freedom on an
unwilling people, or give them form
of government repugnant to their idea
of justice, but we would, and always
have favored annexation of that most
beautiful island, that land of flowers,
to this gov5rnment whenever 1t cen
be done to both governments with sat.
isfaction to the contracting parties.
We rememt er vlvldly the revolution
in that country when the gallant Crit.

All Share Alike.

The Court of Appeals rendered a
decision last week which will be of in
tereSt to many people hereabOuts who
were rOped i'm by Building and Loan
Associations. The court in an opinion
by Chief Justice Hazelrigg, the whole
court sitting, held the preferred stock
of building and loan association is
not entitled to preference over the
common stock, and that all stOckhOld-
erS, Unfortunately, share equally in
the distribution of the assets of such
associations, in the hands of an assign
ee, i'm proportion to the amounts paid
by them respectively in their stock.
The decision was handed down in the
case of j. h. Sumrall and others
against the Commercial Building
Trusts assignee and others, appealed
Court, and is an affirmance Of the
opinion of Judge Emmett Field of that
court. The action grew out of the as
signment, i'm June, 1897, of the Com
mercial Building Trust to the Column
bia Finance and Trust Company, of
Louisville, and the question was pre-
sented i'm suit brought for a settle
ment of the estate, and the lower
court held as above. In affirming the
Judgment Judge Hazelrigg said: I'VE
fully concur i'm the ChancellOr's judy
ment denying any preference to the
sO-called preferred over the common
stockholders in the distribution of the
assets of the association. The sug-
gestiOn that the appelleeS have not i'm
fact paid anything into the concern on
their stock is guarded against in tine
orders given in the lower court by re-
quiring proof Of all claims in the usu-
al way before the Master Commission
er. The judgment is affirmed"

INDICTED.
Insurance Companies Are Hauled Up
on the Charge of Conspiracy.

AS anticipated, the grand jury re-
turned indictments against nearly all
fire insurance companies doing busi-
ness i'm Lancaster. Only those that
are members of the board were includ-
ed in the batch, the entire number be-
ing fourteen. The indictment is as
long as a well-rOpe and, if put in type,
would make nearly two columns. The
sum and substance of the charge is
that the companies have unlawfully
cOnSpired by persuasion etc, to cOun-
teract free competition among fire
insurance companies, and unlawfully
creating pool for the purpose of reg
ulating and fixing rates, premiums,
etc., among the fire insurance compa-
MES doing business i'm Lancaster. The
indictments are of the same character
of those found i'm other parts of the
state.
The companies claim that i'm order
to fix their rates i'm an equitable man.
ner, it is absolutely necessary to have
these boards i'm each town i'm order that
all companies can know the exact ma
ture of all risks they are asked to take.
The business men drew up and sign
ed a petition to Commonwealth At
tOrney Sam Owsley stating that as
they paid the premiums they desired
to be heard on the matter, but the in
dictments were returned just the
same.
In another county, where similar
indictments were found, the companies
were tried and convicted, but the mat
ter has been taken to the court Of ap-
pealS and Mr.. Owsley tells us the cases
here will not get to trial before the
higher court passes upon the matter.
OF course decision i'm those cases will
cover the ones here and if the higher
court reverses them it will knock these
indicemens into cooked hat.

murder took place. Eliza Reed and
LOttie Kennedy, two chocolate cOlored
damsels, had fallin: out and the Reed
woman struck the latter with twelve
pound rock, fracturing the skull. The
top Of the Kennedy wOman's head was
badly stove in and for time she was
believed to be dead. Several doctors
were summoned, the wOman's head
patched up and there are hopes Of
recovery. The Reed woman went to
jail and surrendered to Capt. Dave

in Police Court shows, she will fight to
kill. Particulars of the difficulty

Circuit Court,

Much civil business has been dispOs-
ed of i'm court this week and a number
of little Commonwealth cases, none
of which were of importance to. the
general public. The case against
Houston Clark charged with shooting
at Henry Barlow was set for trial on
Wednesday but was continued until
next court on account of the absence
of an important witness. Owing to
the bad feeling existing between the
parties, Judge Warren. deemed it adj
visable to take steps to prevent
trouble during the trial and ordered
the Sheriff search every man before he
be allowed to enter the Court room
wednesday. Sheriff Sanders according
ly went through the pockets of every
fellow who went in.
