Five Thousand Dollars Damages.

A suit was filed in Common Pleas
Coui Thursday by Nye G. Follett, at
torneys for the plaintiff, entitled Ben
jamin Longfellow against L-ichael Ma
10y. Longfellow is a laborer and it
will le remembered by our readers fell
through the floor timbers in the new
house of William Dearth on Franklin
street, fay 22, where he was carrying
brick in hod to Maloy, the contract
or, who was building the chimney.
The Petition alleges that the rea-
son of his fall was an unsound plank
in the gangway over which he had to
walk and which he claims was so plac-
ed by Maloy. 1t further states that the
right elbow was badly bruised and the
biceps muscle partially torn loose from
the bone and the sheath of said muscle
broken. The plaintiff considers that
he was damaged to the extent of $4,000
and sues to recover that amount and
costs.
Another case is entitled Blszantz &
Buckley against Fay s. Weller and
William Weller for possession of oil
well casing and rig which is now on
the farm of John Coffman in Warren
township, and which plaintiffs claim
is Delng withheld from them to their
great disadvantage

Annual Picnic Of CayaIrN Volunteers.

The annual picnic of Companies L,
First Ohio Cavalry, and H, Seventh
Ohio Cavalry, was held Thursday
June 8, on the farm of William H. Cole
east of the city. There were nine
members of the First and ten members
of the Seventh present and with their
families made quite a gathering, in all
there being over fifty persons present
Several had driven long distance to
be present, among them were Mr..
Thomas Patten, Browns Mills, and Mr.
William Roberts. of Dalzel Mr..
Brigham Marsch, Of Athens, was also
present.
Theday was spent in social CONVEX
satlon and plans for the future and for
future picnics. Letters were read from
a number of absent ones who could
not be present because of too great
distance or too short notice.
Those in attendance decided that the
place Of meeting should be the same
next year and that they would so an
nounce it in order that those at dis
tance may have time to plan for at
tendance.
A full report of the proceedings is in
preparation which we hope to be able
to give to our readers in a short time.
Our brief mention of the affair would
be sadly incomplete If we falledto men
tion the old mule owned lby Thomas
Highland, which was present as the
guest of honor, and the reason for the
honor is the animals great age, he be-
ing 43 years old, and having gone
through the war. Mr.. Highland pur-
chased the mule at Clarksburg when
the government sale was hel3 there af-
ter the close of the war, and has own
ed him ever since. He rode him to
the picnic Thursday, where he was the
center of attraction and was honored
by being photographed.

FRIDAY. JUNE Q. leee.
The Alumni Banquet.


The annual meeting and banquet of
the Marietta High School Alumni was
held in the parlors of the Congrega-
tional church Thursday evening at six
o'clock
Beside the Alumni there were pres
ent Supt Williams and wife, the mem
bers of the Board of Education with
their wives, the instructors in the
High School and the members of the
class of 1899, making in all 210 people
The happlest part of this annual oc-
casion is the meeting and greeting of
the members of each class as they
gather together before sitting down to
the banquet table; and this year as the
company gathered on the lawn of the
church property the writer was i'm
pressed with the number of handsome
women and fine looking young men
who compose this Association.
AT $50 supper was served. The
rooms were festooned with green and
white, the 80 class colors, the tables
were decorated with flowers and vines
and laden with bountiful supper,
served by Mrs. Kate Dye and Mrs
Hovey.
1t Is customary on these occasions to
have a program of toasts interspersed
with selections of music, and for the
opening piece, Miss Winnie Thels, "a,
played piano solo.
The reading of the minutes for the
past year followed, by the Secretary
Miss Carrie Wilhelm, SO. The Pres
ident, Mr.. E. NJ. Booth, then made an
address of welcome to the class of 49,
We wish we might give verbatum re-
port OF this address. Suffice it to say
that no class ever received a more
beautiful address of welcome than did
the class of 80.
Miss Mary Scott responded for the
graduating class with some very hap
py remarks, closing with the hope that
the Association might meet next year
in the parlors of the new high School,
which brought forth much applause.
Miss Wehrs, accompanied by Miss
Leeper, sang Lassens Thine Eyes so
Blue and Tender"
AT the urgent request of the COM
mlttee, Miss Cotton read the poem
written and read by her at the meeting
in '93, which was we'll worth repeating
Miss Oldham toasted the class of
70. She told some very interesting
events that occurred in the High
school while she was student there;
spoke of their graduating exercises, of
the instructors and gave general his
tory of the class.
Miss Villa Ward sang Happy
Days, by Streletski, accompanied by
Miss Leeper on the piano, and Mrs
Louis Mueller on the violin.
Mrs. Mamie Porterfield Armstrong,
of Belpre, toasted the class of SO most
entertainingly.
A piano solo followed by Miss Cur
lie Reed and the program closed with
the singing of America" by the AS
sociation.
The President then appointed Miss

committee to select officers
for the ensuing year. The following
persons were unanimously elected:
Miss Selma Pearce, President; Miss
Mary Oldham, Vice President; Miss
Ethel Simpson, Secretary; Miss Anna

WILLING TO ASSIST ON A CABLE
nplish Government and Colonial
Representntiyes Confer.

English Government and Colonial
Representatives Confer.
LONDON, May 15.-Replying in the House
Of Lords today the earl of Aberdeen,
liberal, former governor general of Canada,
who urged the importance OF the imperial
and colonial governments reaching an UNI
derstanding with reference to the Pacific ca
BILE, the earl of Selborn, under secretary of
state for the colonies, said her majesty's
government was perfectly prepared to re-
view the whole matter in the light of any
new representations the colonies might make
with a sincere desire to arrive at a decision
satisfactory to all the governments con-
cerned.
The secretary OF state for the colonies,
Mr.. Chamberlain, had a conference today on
the subject of the proposed Pacific cable
with Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal, the
high commissioner of Canada, and other
colonial agents general, who presented GER
tain notifications of the original proposals.
Mr.. Chamberlain promised that they should
receive the best consideration.
In the course of his remarks the earl of
Selborne assured the house there was no
intention on the part of the government to
throw cold water upon a matter Of such
great public interest. nor was there any
idea of seeming ungraciousness. He ex-
pressed surprise at the fact that exception
had been taken to the governments assertion
that the cable was more important to Can
ada and Australia than to the United King
dom, explaining that while such a project
as this might be of great imperial interest,
it might at the same time be of greater i'm
p~ortance to specific portions Of the en-
pre- & &Eatseg
Continuing, the under secretary said that
he did not think any one conversant with
the financial aspect of the matter would re-
gard the governments offer as being I'M
generous. 1t offered, he said to share the
burden without demanding &, share of the
profits. The sum of f2O 900 per year was
named because 1t seemed to be the out
side limit on the proportion of ive-eight-
eenths, which Great Britain could be called
upon to pay. The conditions proposed, he
explained, were merely such as the exper-
fence of the postoffice and the treasury sug-
gested as being the most likely to secure
efficiency. If the colonies had any objections
to urge against the form of the British pro-
posals, the government was perfectly pre-
pared to review the whole matter with a
sincere desire to arrive at a decision which
would be satisfactory to all concerned.
Lord Tweedmouth. liberal, supported the
earl of Aberdeen in thinking that the con-
ditions were unduly stringent.

Troops Being Hurried to the Recently
Acquired TERRITORY.

HONG KONG, May 15.-The native ,opposi-
ton to the occupation by British forces of
the new territory, Kow Loon. opposite Hong
Kong, has suddenly been renewed. About
900 men of the Hong Kong regiment, with
machine guns, are leaving here today and
tonight, while the volunteers have been
warned to be in readiness for any emergency.
The British second-class gunboat Swift and
three other gunboats are proceeding to sea
under sealed orders. These war ships have
500 men on board. The territory back of the
hinterland is also disturbed and Chinese
troops have been sent there.
In all 1850 infantry soldiers, 100 artillery
men, fifty engineers and 500 marines have
gone to the Kow Loon hinterland. The great
est secrecy is being observed as to the plans
of the British authorities and nothing is
definitely known regarding the actual destin-
alton of the troops, but 1t seems evident that
two detachments of the troops will advance
on and Deep Bay, cut off the
rebels and drive them from the receded
territory. The gun vessels engaged in the
operations have provisions for eight days.
Troops are patrolling the European quar-
ter of kow Loon. 1t is reported that Chinese
rebels from Tung Kung invaded British ter
ritory last evening and that two armed
gangs robbed the city Of Kow Loon.
Hong Kong itself is juliet.
