TOMORROW'S ELECTION.
LITTLE MARY cURRAH's PROPERTY
When It Was Learned She Had Some
Money Her Guardians Wanted Her.

The writ of habeas CORPUS obtained bv
Mrs. Mary Hatfield directing Mrs. Jane
Hunter to produce in court the body of
Mary Curran. four years old, was re-
turnable this morning before Vice Chan
cellor Emery. From the papers in the
case it appears that in 1897 Henry Cur
ran died leaving the child in dispute and
a piece of property heavily encumbered.
By his will he appointed Mrs. Hatfield
guardian of the child to whom he devils
ed the encumbered property. Mrs. Hat
field, however did not exercise her au-
thority as guardian, and Mrs. Hunter,
who is a cousin of the girls mother, took
her and brought her up.
About year ago Mrs. Hunter sue
ceeded in disposing of the insumbered
property and netting a small sum. When
Mrs. Hatfield heard that the child had
some money she assumed her position as
guardian under the will and demanded
possession of the chila. Mrs. Hunter re-
fused to surrendei the girl to whom she
had become greatly attached unless she
was paid for her board during the years
she had taken care of her. Mrs. Hatfield
then empolyed Counselor Manning to sue
out the writ. The hearing has from time
to time been postponed and when an ap-
plication was made at Mrs. Hatfield's re-
quest for another adjournment today the
Vice Chancellor granted it with the UNDER
standing that the case must go on when it
comes up next week.

Made Mar and wife in a Tree.

There recently took place in this neigh
borhood a wedding which was as startling
as any one could wish. It seems that the
bride had peculiar notions about we'd
dings, and she had made up her mind to
have her marriage differenk from the or
binary ceremonial.
There were to be no attendants except
the maid Of honor, the brides sister, and
at the appointed hour the family congre-
gated about a large gnarled tree, the old
est growing on the country place where
the al fresco service was to take place.
At the same time, the bride and groom,
maid Of honor and clergymen came from
the house, and when they reached the
tree they climbed 1t, and the ceremony
was performed amid the foliage of the
lower branches. louisville Courier.

ALAS, FOR FRYl
Even the Seventh. Finds 1t Impossible
to Hope.

A ratification meeting under the aspices
of the Minkakwa Republican Club the
Greenville Republican League Club and
the g. S. Grant Association, was held Sat
1Irdav night at the rooms of the Green
vile League Club on Danforth avenue. 1t
was an attempt to instill a little enthus-
iasn into the Seventh Ward Republicans,
but apparently was not very successful,
as onlv about seventy-five Republicans
turned out.
There is little hope for the Republican
party when such well known orators as
Counselor Robert Carey and Counselor
Isaac Goldenhorn fail to draw crowd.
Those who did attend. however, were told
how good the Republican party is and
how much better the city would be If un-
der Republican control. There was little
enthusiasm manifested except when Mr..
Fry's name was mentioned.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
William van Buslirk, who introduced Mr..
Carey. He said: ''This is not very i'm
portant election, yet in the interests of
good government every Republican should
come out and vote Tt seems that of late
years many of the American people are
too busy to vote yet they should realize
that 1t is a IQ3IISF OI WILL 90
to have good government we must elect
good people, which is as important to us
as the accumulation of gold" In conclu-
sion Mr.. Carey eulogized Nfessrs. Fry and
vanderbeek, and exhorted Republicans to
do their duty on election day.
Mr.. Goldenhorn also spoke in the
same strain. and also advised Republi-
cans to firmly organize for the fall cleo
lion.
Mr.. Fry made brief speech, referring
to his record as an Alderman, and re-
questing loyal support for the Republican
candidates. Speeches were also made by
William s. Rowland, the Republican can
didate for Alderman, William Jordan,
Charles F. Healy and Samuel Williams.
Some of the optomistic Republicans pre-
tend to think that they will carry the
ward, while others state that it will be
almost impossible to overcome the ma
tural Democratic majority.

DoUeLAss'S B0NDSMEN.
They Will Get s7OO Realized From

Vice-Chancellor Emery this morning
made an order directing the receiver Of
the defunct Bergen Loan and Improve
rnent Company to pay over s7o0 to the
bondsmen of William P. Douglass, the de-
posed receiver of the company. Ex-Judge
Douglass was made receiver of the com
pany when it first failed and was later
removed. At the time of his removal
there was shortage in his accounts
which was made good by his bondsmen.
All the property of Judge Douglass was
turned over to the new receiver and he
realized s700 from the sale of the Judges
law library, office furniture and other eff
fects The bondsmen claimed the money
on the ground that as they had made
good the Judges deficiency they were en-
titled to it. The receiver contested the
claim but the Vice Chancellor decided in
favor of the bondsmen.
