VIII Enter Suit Against the Bono.

Attorney General Bcllinger is pre-
pairing to bring suit against the bonds
men of Col. w. a. Neal, owing to the
failure of Col. Neal to make any other
settlement OF the amount the commit
tee finds him owing the State 1t hap
pens that I'LL three of the bonlsmen
arc Columbians and arc mon who stand
high III tho community. financially us
we'll rs otherwise. The bond is signed
by Willie Jones. +. II. IIaltiwanger and
Scott Pope.
Mr.. Bcllingcr recently notified these
bondsmcn that they were expected to
call to sec him and settle the matter mt
once. OF tho three Col. Jones called
and intimated to the Attorney general
that he was willing to pay up and
would do so. Mr.. Bellingcr said yes
tcrday that neither of the other gentle
men had taken any notice Of his letter
&c them, ind hc would forthwith pre-
pare to enter snit.
The bond was given for $4,000. OF
course the bOndsmcn will only have to
make good the shortage, which Mr..
Bcllinger insists must be considered
what is set forth in tho Legislative com
mittee's report Each bondsman is
liable for the entire amount in case the
others fail to produce property cover
ing their share.
1t is understood that the other bonds
men will test the question Of their liu-
bilitY in the courts before paving any
of the money claimed to be due the
State. Mr.. Popc is said to have. init
mated that he will await the bringing
of smit in the courts. Thus the matter
stands. OF course ali actions on the
bond will he entirely separate and dis

awfully uneasy for fear he would do
something to displeasc him. At last
he fell III love, of course. with Il very
poor but pretty girl named Kate. They
kept their love Il secret and lived on it
for about y year. and thought the old
captain didn't know it, but he did. SO
tho it should make the old man mad
and he should turn them out of doors
and not leave them anything when he
died. So on Sunday morning Jack
took Kate by the hand and boldly
they went into the old mans presence
and told him a!l about it, and that they
had come for his consent and for him to
fix the day when they should be mar
ried. The old fellow was really glad
of it, for he liked the girl, but he
couldn't help being contrary and SO he
clustered around and pretended to be
very mad, and finally wound up by say
ing: "Yes, yes, SO,l may get married,
and I'll say when-yes, when. Well.
you may get married when there are

and not before"

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 23.-The third
day of the Democratic state convention
is still working under the temporary or
ganization. The committee on creden-
tials labored with the 357 contested seats
until long after midnight and then left
its task unfinished. The majority of the
committee on resolutions has drawn up
platform endorsing Bryan for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1900 and Black
burn for Philippines. The fight between
the three United States senators, making
free silver again the prominent issue, re-
affirming the Chicago platform in its en-
tirety and containing strong antitrust
plank
In regard to the policy TO be pursued
in dealing with the new possessions, the
majority is conservative. The war with
Spain to secure the liberty of Cuba was
sustained, but the administration is
blamed for pushing the campaign in the
candidates for the nomination for gov
ernor is being warmly waged with the
advantage with the Goebel-Stone com.

ton. The convention was called to order
at 9 80 a. m., and after the adoption of
eulogistic resolutions in memory of the
late Congressman Bland, took recess
until this afternoon to await the report
of the committee on credentials.
