LAWSON LOSES MILLIONS
in Ar1AL LGAMATED COPPER
Boston Man Says He Was Given False In
formation by 'Insiders'' Before the
Recent Break in Prices.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Lawson says he could not give his
ing this break for the simple reason that
he did not possess the information; that
certain directors and insiders Of the Anal
gamated Company sold their holdings pre-
vious to the announcement Of the cut in
the dividend.
In his opinion the cut in the dividend
was not compelled by any business neces-
sity. Rumors to the contrary notwith-
standing, says Lawson, he is not going to
fail, but is in financial condition to meet
any exigencies which may arise.

The weather was extremely foggy at
the time of the accident. Captain Gosse
was on the bridge and Chief Officer Neu-

The steamer was going at half speed,
probably about nine knots, when she

and she was too fast fixed to be pulled
off by her own steam. Captain Gosse
kept the passengers in perfect control

Friday evening, at seven o'clock
the alarm of fro rang out, and it
was discovered that the frame bull
dings on West Bellyille street
we're in flames. The opera house
block and Canadian buildings
were in imminent danger. For
awhile il seemed that the fire
would prove the most destructive
conAagration Marion ever had but
| the citizens worked heroically and
their efforts we're successful, the
flames were under control and the
destruction of one of the city's
most important business cen,ers
prevented. The big lumber house
of Boston d Walker caught fire,
several times, but each time the
flames were successfully extin-
guished.
The following buildings were
destroyed;
Henry Georges grocery, Civ.
ems d Hoerth's meat market, X.
@. Haynes grocery, Freeman Hen
rvs feed store and Alexander tele-
phone warehouse.
The two buildings occupied by
Georges grocery and Hoerth's
meat market were owned by Mess.
j. p. Pierce and Fl. A. Haynes;
the other two we're the property
of Mr.. j. p. Pierce.
Henry Georges loss was about
500; no insurance.
Givens & Hoerth's loss $50; no
insurance.

surance $500.
X. G. Haynes saved large
portion of his stock of groceries;
He had 800 insurance.

the lower buildings at $500; insu-
rance $500. j. p. Pierce's two
houses loss $1,000; insurance $500.

Monday morning Mr.. Sam n.
Henry, was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by the Board of Health,
charging him with refusing to
obey the order to be vaccinated.
A jury was secured and a trial
resulted in Mr.. Henry being ac-
quilted. The jury held that the
prosecution had not proven that
the defendant had not obeyed the
order and been vaccinated.
After the trial Mr.. Henry pro-
duced a certificate showing that
he had been vaccinated. He stat
ed that he simply wanted to show
the Board of Health that he could
not be forced to be vaccinated
Had the prosecution proven that
he had not been vaccinated, the
verdict would in all probability
have been against him. The trial
created much interest.

The board of health now has the
smallpox under control, and there
is very little danger of the disease
spreading in the town or county.
There are no Lew cases in the city

were ill last week. The patients
are all getting along nicely. The
patients in the country have all
been quarantined. Every precau-

MILLS CONSOLIDATED.
Our Two FIGURING Mills Under
One Management.

Tho Marion Roller Mills. owned
by Clark, Kevil IL Co, and the
City Mills, the property of A.,
Dewey Il Co, have been consolida-
ted, and the two big mills are now
under the same management The
company has been Incorporated
and will be known as tho Marion
Milling Company. The following
officers have been elected hY the
company: J. X. Clark, Pred lent;
A. Dewey, Head Miller and Direc-
tar; j. II. Orme. Secretary and
Treasurer; ID. B. Kevil, General
Manager; Albert Mcconnell and
8. Franklin, Directors. III.
The Marion Company is one of
the largest milling establishments
in Western Kentucky, and these
mills will he among the best
equipped In the Stale.
The Marion Roller mills is now
shut down. the company Is furn-
ishing il with new machinery, and
il will not be in operation before
January. An eighty horse power
engine, and a hundred horse pow
or engine. and one hundred
horse power boiler are being put
in, and a costly swing sitter boil
ting system is also being added.
The capacity will be increased to
l25 bbls of -four per day The
output of the two mills will be 200
bbls. daily. The City Mills will
run night and day in order to sup
ply the trade, until the Marion
Roller Mills are again ready for
use.
The consolidation Of two big
milling firms will doubtless prove
beneficial to the city and county.
1t will cause a greater demand for
wheat, more of the grain will be
bought, and used in manufactur-
ing -four . than ever before The
local market will be greatly streng
thened The mills can be operat-
ed much cheaper.
The two mills have in the past
just about supplied the local de-
mand for -four, but the new firm
not only will supply the home
trade. but also expects to establish
a substantial Southern trade, aud
will supply many surrounding
markets.
Special attention will be given
to custom grinding at both mills,
The same courteous treatment
that has characterized the owners
and managers OF the two mills in
the past will still be extended to
the farmer patrons. Custom
grinding will be special feature.
Messrs. Orme and Kevil will
look after the business affairs of
the company, and Mr.. Dewey,
whose merits as miller are we'll
known, and whose popularity is
far reaching, will be the head
miller. With such a competent
corps of officials the Marion Mill
ing Company will soon become a |
most important commercial factor. !

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1901-10-17

Major Renard, the celebrated mill
tary aeronautical expert, has devised a
new airship which, it is claimed, will be
superior to that Of Nj. Santos Dumont.
A new type Of motor has been con-
structed by this engineer at the govern
ment works at Meudon, but SO jealous
ly has its construction been guarded
that no particulars regarding its design
are known outside government circles.
1t is claimed, however, that the motor
generates sufficient speed to enable the
aerostat to be navigable in all wealth
ers save gale.
The preliminary experiments with the
vessel will be carried out in short
time. They are to be Of very severe
and exacting nature in order to prove
the possibilities Of the propelling en-
CINE. One trial is to consist Of a trip
from Meudon to Rouen and back, a
total distance Of ITO miles. Major Re-
nurd is confident Of accomplishing the
journey without a single stoppage and
at fair rate of speed.

: TABLE ETIQUETTE.

| How - Eat without TransGFessing
the Rules of Good Manners.
On seating oneself at table gloves, IL
worn, should be removed and the table
napkin opened out and placed on the
lap.
Bread may be placed either at the
right or left side, according to conven-
fence.
Soup.-Only small helpings Of soup
Ere glyen-half ladlefulSis generally
considered quite enough-and IT is eat
Pm as noisclessly as possible from the
side Of the tablespoon. tits allowable
to tilt the plate slightly away from one
while taking the last spoonfuls, but
never toward one.
Fish.-This is now eaten with silver
knives and forks specially prepared
for the purpose. A few years ago fish
| was eaten Off a fork, and crust Of
bread took the place of knife in re-
moving it from the bones. Then this
fashion was dropped in favor of two
forks. but at the present day fish
knives and forks are so general that
one seldom has to fall back on such
makeshift arrangements.
Only the fork is used for eating ris-
soles, omelets and dishes made Of
minced or small cut meat. The knife
quire cutting.
When eating sweet dishes, the fork
is held in the right hand and is used
exclusively, as far as possible. 1t Is
only for stewed fruits, milky buildings
and other semiliqud dishes that the
spoon is called into service.
Asparagus is still eaten by some peo-
pie in the old style of holding the stalk
in the fingers, but the younger genera
ton generally prefers the neater way
Of cutting off the points with the knife
and conveying them on the fork to the
mouth -..
Salad is generally eaten from sepa-
rate plate placed at the left hand side
of the meat plate.
AT dessert apples, pears, etc, are
peeled and are then cut up to the right
size for eating off fork. Grapes are
conveyed to the mouth by the fingers,
and the stones and skins are passed
from the mouth to the hand and then
laid on the table
Refinement in eating and drinking.
cannot be too strongly insisted upon.
Even little children should be taught
to place quite small portions Of food in.
their mouths. to keep the lips closed
during the process Of mastcatiOn and
never to drink while they have food in
their mouths. Drinking while eating
often leads to 4 choking fit both alarm
ing and unpleasant to witness.
Crumbling ones bread. filgeting with
spoon and foik. digging IL the salt eel

some people indulGe while talking are
all bad habits to l." overcome.

as bed for the motor but also as a
reservoir, in the middle part. for gaso-

front and rear ends, one chamber for
each cylinder, respectively.
Although the driving devices are de-
signed primarily for a moving ma
chine, the motor Is adapted to va

gaging the cutting apparatus it may be
used as portable agricultural engine
for drawing loads about the farm,

wood, or any other purpose for which
an engine is valuable.
