WANTED TO BACK OUT,
But Finally Concluded to Make Good
His Promise.

UNION CITY, TENN, Oct. 2nd.-
Late Saturday evening Sheriff
John Finch noticed a young wO.
man and man standing near Ben.
netTs saloon. As the former was
crying and seemed in distress, Mr.
Finch remarked 10 his deputy,
Josh Adams. that they had better
inquire what was the matter. The
officers approached the couple
and the Sheriff asked the woman
what was her trouble. She replied
that her companion had brought
her from Kentucky, promising to
marry her hut he claimed to be
unable 10 fulfil! his promise, As
the judge was not in town. Mr..
Finch asked the man il he had
promised To marry the lady, and
he replied that he had "sOrter"
promised TO marry her. Finch in.
formed him that while he could
not force him to marry her it
would probably tie the best thing
he could do, and after "a little more
talk he agreed TO carry out his
promise. They repaired to the
court house, secured the license
and Squire j. II Edmonson per.
formed the ceremony. The man
gave the name Of Ben Owens. of
Harvey, Ky. The woman, whose
name was Miss Ada Breson, came
from Mal field, Ky.

WHAT OUR STATE Is DOING FOR
THE TRAINING OF HER UN.
FORTUNATE CHILDREN.

Many persons are not aware
that the State Of Kentucky does
more for the training OF the de.
fective children. In proportion to
their number, than il does for the
other children through the pub.
lie schools. In fact il maintains
three nobls schools. one at Frank.
fort for the teaching of feeble
minded children, known as the
Kentucky Institute tor the Fee.
Minded; ore ut Dsnville known
as the Kentucky School for the
Deaf; aud one for blind children,
known as tho Kentucky Institute
for the Education Of the Blind.
These are all free. and the State
upon proper evidence pays for
the clothing and even for the
railroad fare of those children
whose parents are too poor to
meet such expenses.
In the case Of the deaf chill
dren and also of the blind chill:

that the family ties may not be

The bull ings for the care Of
these children are credit to the
State, aud thoroughly equipped
with all possiblee means for the
comfort, happiness and education
OF their pupils. They are under
the charge of boards of trust ees
selected from the best citizens of
the neigbbOrbOod and the best
possible teachers are employed
for training their pupils.

been marked jump in the price of
meat at this season of the year. The
summer resorts and mountain hotels
stand ready to buy the best cuts in ev-
cry line of meat and to pay fancy prices
for them. This naturally has tenden-
cy to advance the market on finer
grades, and the rest of the creature
trails along skyward in the wake. The
present advance bears few of the ear
marks of a temporary boom, and Wor-
cester dealers are not looking for an
immediate break in the market Prices
for beef, pork and mutton are higher
now than for many years.
F. A. Amidon of the Worcester mar
ket, believes the advance is legitimate,
although it is exceptional in its reach
and extent. He says the 'grassers" are
of poor quality and scarcely saleable.
Prime beef is scarce, and shows at
wholesale an advance of 81 a hundred
to SO. He looks for continuation of
ruling high prices, with a possible ad-
vance until perhaps after the first of
September, although that is matter
of speculation entirely. When the quail
ity Of the grass fed shows the usual
improvement, the demand will be
drawn from corn fed beef, and prices
will adjust to normal.
That gentleman quoted the following
prices, which he says shows an in

crease more marked than has been
known in the local market for almost
ten years: Chuck, which sold for to
last summer, are now bringing TO
II; flank, plate and shanks show an
increase of l cent a pound; Porter
house steaks that brought Is to 20, are
now marked Is to 80; sirloin shows a
big jump from Is to %, which was the
ruling price, to Is to 80; round has
jumped two cents pound from 10 TO
20, to IL to %.
Along with the price Of beef, pork
has jumped materially Fresh pork is
four cents a pound higher than it was
last summer, and the sailed variety
has doomed along merrily until it IS
now 81 barrel over the price of last
year at wholesale Ham and bacon are
in the game, and have, during the last
month, Jumped from to 5 cents a
pound at retail, although the retailers
have been maintaining prices with
false hope of seeing a break in the
market.
The advance strikes every and all
varieties of meat good and bad, and Is
here and no mistake. 1t affects every
home in the city, and will cause re-
adjustment of the carefully planned
economics of many housekeeper. NO
immediate break in prices is expected,
and even higher prices are anticipated
by market reports. When the butchers
boy looks pleasant and demands two
or three cents on each pound of the
roast beef dinner, the housekeeper is
expected to look pleasant, and hand out
the little tribute to the beef trust. The
increase all goes to the Windy city.
One possible effect of the sharp adj
vance in choice cuts of beef, is ma
terial alteration of the restaurant pill
Of fare. Many of the prominent restau-
rants were visited by The Spy man
Yesterday, and the sentiment is general
| that there must be change OF prices
| if the advance gives promise OF IN
creasing or of continuing.
