WAsHoUT ON RUTLAND r 4

WAsHoUT ON RUTLAND r h
Burlington, May 10. - The wind
blew with almost hurricane force
FRONT the northwest all day yesterday
and did much damage to the big fill
on the Rutland. Canadian railroad be-
tween Colchester Point and Aliens
Point at the south end of South Hero
Island.
Owing to the high water 1t was
possible for the waves to work on the
rock ballast and after 1880 o'clock 1t
was not considered safe to send trains
over that portion Of the road.
BY noon some portion OF the track
had been washed away and efforts
were at once made to stop further
damage.
The elements were too much for the
workmen, however, and the washout
continued to increase in size until 1T
reached almost to the east rail OF the
track in some places. The washout is
the most extensive in that portion OF
the fill between Allen s Point and the
drawbridge, a distance Of about three
quarters of "a mile, but the entire three
miles are damaged to some extent.
The Rutlat Canadian trains were
run over the Central Vermont track
between this >.Yy and Rouses FONT
and were cons 4erably delayed.

Great Britain Much Stirred
Up Over Shipping Combine

London, May l0.-A despatch from
Liverpool says that the circular of the
White Star line will not be issued FOL
some days yet. The shareholders will
probably not meet before the end o
the month.
The despatch adds that the Cunard
line has decided to invite tenders for
a new steamer for the New York ser.
vice to cost e1,000,0c0. This decis'
ion is taken to indicate that the COM
pany will not change hands and that
1t will maintain it's forward policy.
Replying to question on the mat
ter Of the shipping combine in the
House of Commons, Gerald Balfour,
president of the board OF trade, said
he was aware that navigation bounttes
had been granted to French-butlt ves'
sells, but the effect Of these on the
British trade was subject to investi'
cation by the select committee on
shipping subsidies, which he hoped
would shortly be reappointed.

Pupils of Mrs. G. B. Johnson Give Closing Recital At Opera House Tuesday Evening-Entertain-
 ment Pleased Audience.

The recital of the pupils of Mrs. G.. B. Johnson in both vocal and instru- mental music, given at the opera house Tuesday evening, eclipsed in excellence the most sanguine expecta- tions of friends of the performers and proved even more than realization of the fondest hopes of proud pa rents.
 Mrs. Johnson is performer of re- markable ability, and as teacher she has just cause for congratulations in the accomplishment of her pupils. Her sympathy with them from in itial efforts to more accomplished stages of education and the deep in- terest which she takes in their teach ing, have contributed to the realiza- tion of this success so amply sus- tained and measured in the excellence of the class exercises. The program is given in another column and it is a matter of regret that space forbids individual mention, as all were de- serving of compliment. Little Miss Beatrice McHugh in a sweet ren- dition of the song "Harvest Days," was especially fine and it was the re- mark of all that her voice is one of great promise. Miss Mary Younger was given very fattering encore. With a magnetic touch that is capa- ble of much expression, her brilliant performance of "Qui Vive" filled

R. s. Deener, Pastor of Batesville Church, Who Escaped Justice Nine Years Ago By Flight, Must Answer For Old
 Charges.

Sheriff John A. Hinkle of Indepen- dence county, was in Newport Tues day morning with a prisoner in charge, who nine years ago was pas tor of the Southern Methodist church at Batesville. His name, as will be remembered by all those living here at that time, was R. s. Deener.
 He enjoyed the confidence of a large portion of his church men 5t- ship, until it suddenly became dis closed that he had violated the laws, whose penalty was penitentiary sentence. He was indicted on five different counts, two of them being for forgery and obtaining money un- der false pretenses. Upon being ar rested he gave bond, which was made up by relatives of his wife, $500 being required on each account or $2, 800 in the aggregate.
 When he thus secured liberty, he was not long in taking his departure presumably for Mexico, where he could not be secured as this country had no extradition treaty with Mex ico covering such an offense. The bond given by his relatives was re- garded as the purchase of his liberty and his flight to Mexico was looked upon as proof of his guilt
 But Deener it seems became ven- turesome as the years rolled by an6 came back to Arkansas on visit t( his wife's relatives at Huntington where he was arrested by Sheriff l Hinkle. He must now stand trial fol these charges at Batesville.

Miss Vera Thompson and William Il.
Leinbach EIOpe to Milwaukee
and are Married.
A SECOND CEREMONY AT HOME.
Father of the Bride Finds the Young Connie
at Joliet. ILL.,, and Brings Them
Home for Wedding.

| The old proverb, Glove Finds a
Way" had pretty little exemplifica-
ton IN Kenosha last Saturday after
noon, when Miss Vera Thompson.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. "A. w.
Thompson, of Pomeroy street, and
| William H. Leinbach, a well known
employe of the Kenosha Gas 81 Elect
rlc Company, stole march on their
friends and relatives and eloped to
Milwaukee, where they were married.
This afternoon at the home of the
bride the tie was made doubly strong
with second marriage ceremony.
The elopement caused quite a little
sensation among the friends of the
young people, and created consterua-
ton among their relatives. They had
been friends for some time, and it was
well known that they were engaged to
wed, but the parents of Miss Thon1p-
son had opposed the marriage on &C
count of the fact that the young LADY
was not yet eighteen years of age. But
the couple decided that they did not
care to wait longer, as Mr.. Leiubach
was going to Tennessee to accept a
position, and wanted his bride to ac-
company him. For this reason the
plans for the elopement were made,
and for several days Miss Thompson
had been packing her clothes, getting
ready for the event.
On Saturday morning the young lady
told her parents that she was going to
Milwaukee to visit relative, but when
she reached the train she was met by
Mr.. Leinbach, and the two at once
proceeded to the Office of the County
Judge in Milwaukee and secured a
Court order for the wedding, which
took place short time later.
After the wedding was over Mr..
and Mrs. Leinbach left at once for
their new home in Memphis, Tenn,
but before leaving they telephoned the
folks at home of their marriage.
Mr.. Thompson at once started to
join the bride and groom and found
them in Joliet. He gave his forgive
ness and asked them to return to Ke.
nosha for second ceremony. This
the young couple did and this morning
Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Leinbach APP
peared in the county court and Mr..
Thompson gave his full consent for
the wedding.
The second ceremony was performed
at the home of the bride this afternoon
by the Rev. w. w. Stevens, of the
Park Avenue M. E. church.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Leinbach are
well known in Kenosha and the many
friends of the couple will be pleased to
extend the heartiest congratu1at to
them on the happy outcome of their
romantic wedding.
The bride and groom will leave at
once for Memphis, Tenn, where tie
groom has splendid position with the
Memphis Gas Company.
