EIGHT HEARTS MADE GLAD.
Four Couples Married at the Same Time
in Cincinnati.

Four sturdy farmers of the Blue Grass
State have just been married to four
young women Of their respective neigh
borhoods, in the big parlUr of the Pal
ace Hotel in this city All lived within
a few miles of Owentcn.
TWO of the bridegrooms were twins
and two OF the brides twins. The twin
brothers had no intention of marrying
when they came here to stand up with
the other two. one of the twin girls
however, married one OF the twin
brothers.
1t was such jumbled-up affair that
none knew exactly how 1t all came
about. That there would be four we'd
dings in one room at the same time and
two sets of twins among the partici-
pants was not an event scheduled for
the Palace Hotel, but, equal to the
emergency. Manager Maxwell did not
allow 1t to pass over without fitting
celebration. As guests OF Mr.. Maxwell
the eight young people, with hearts
throbbing and faces glowing, sat down
to wine supper in courses at o'clock
and we're entertained as they never We're

Little Legislation.

The next session of Congress will be
a short one. during which little actual
legislation will occur: still talk will be
plentiful, If only for effect in the next
Presidential election. These are the
most important uncertainties which the
market will have TO face; and only time
can demonstrate how far they will be
counteracted by the continuance of
prosperity.
In the business and Industrial worlds
the only disturbing element at present
is the labor situation. The coal strike
is still in force, contrary to expectations.
and new enterprises are likely TO be de-
ferred until a more settled feeling is
obtained in labor circles.

Unsettled.

Henry Clews in his weekly letter thus
describes stock market conditions
Stocks seem more or less Indifferent
to either good news or bad news. This
is because all railroad shares are SC
FIRMLY supported by concentrated hold
ings and continued good earnings that
any bear attacks upon values are usual
ly futile and dangerous TO the assail-
ant. For nearly a year the market has
resisted series of shocks that in ordi-
nary times would iave produced peri
odical sharp declines.
With foundation of general prosperi-
~ tu build upon. and rumors In the air
OF various amalgamations or buying for
contIei as stimulus, there has been
little difficulty in merely sustaining the
market; for the reason that while these
conditions lasted neither large nor small
holders could be induced to sell.
But Small Success.
On the other hand. all efforts TO in
fuse new activity and strength into the
market have met with very limited sue
cess. rise of two or three points has
invariably been followed by pause;
then reaction TO the former level.
Inc question is asked, how long will
TINS deadlock continue? The answer is
dlfhcuit TO give; fo: an unusual variety
OF conflicting conditions have TO be
measured. In the first place we are now
falrly in the vacation period, when lit
tie Is done in the way OF inaugurating
new plans or policies.
ferhaps the most important contfn-
sency Is the crops; though. as the out
look in this respect is satisfactory
there Is no present anxiety in that quar-
Ter All that can be said about the
crops Is that failure or even partial
failure, especially if it involves the corn
crop, would be very injurious to the
general market.

must be frankly admitted that there is
not yet sufficient certainty in the crop
outlook to warrant pronounced bull.

Two Big Prosecutions Continued by
Judge Lightfoot Today.
Many Disappointed Spectators Left
the Court House as Result
Of the Action.
GASES WILL ATTRACT MANY

There were two important trials
scheduled for Judge Lightfoot's court
this morning, and there was large
crowd to hear them, but the expectant
visitors were disappointed. A number
of railroad cases were on, and having
been first set, had precedence, and the
others were not tried.
The first case was that against Eli
Hutchinson, of the lower part Of the
county, charged with the murder OF
his brother-in in. law, Henry Gray, near
Lovelsceville May 10. Quito a num-
Der Of witnesses were on hand to ties.
tify, and had to return disappointed.
The preliminary hearing was postpon-
ed until next Wednesday.
The other case was the criminal as.
sault charge against W. B. Padgett,
formerly keeper of the county poor
farm. Mary Poe, the blind girl who
preferred the charge, was on hand, but
the other cases consumed so much time
that the court set the preliminary
trial of Padgett for Monday next.
The girl is being cared for by
friends. An effort was made to get
her in the Home of the Friendless, but
thus far with no success.
Anumber of men are mentioned for
keeper Of the poor farm to succeed
Padgett. Fiscal court meets tomorrow
in called session, and will doubtless
ratify the action of County Judge
Lightfoot in declaring fireplace vacant
and elect new keeper, no matter
which way the trial may terminate.
Judge Lightfoot says he is determined
to purge the county institutions, and
will see that they are run right.
Both OF the above cases are to be
hard fought.
Among those mentioned as csndi-
dates are: Messrs. Hugh Graft, James
Nichols, Bob wilkins, and two gen
tlemen named Mason and Thomas.

Death Of a Mysterious Man With a
Big Wad Of Cash.
1t Is Believed from Reports That He
Is Kentuoky's M issing
Treasurer.
PHOTOGRAPHS ARE SENT FOR

Frankfort, Ky., July 25-A letter
received here from lawyers in Los
Angeles, GAL, indicate that it is more
than probable that an eccentric man,
known as Charles Hill, who died there
few days ago, is none other than the
absconding state treasurer, James W.
Tate, of Kentucky, who has never
been heard from since he left the
state.
Charles Hill, aged about so years,
died in Los Angeles. He was I'M
known save by name. Upon his per-
son was found %, 200 in greenbacks
and key to bank box at the Union
Savings bank, of Los Angeles. The
box was found to contain $40, 900 in
greenbacks. The sl42. 200 is now
being held, and q search for the heirs
of the. mysterious unknown has been
instituted. The descriptions of Charles
Hill tally almost exactly as to age
and appearance with Tate.
The public administrator in Los An
geles is holding the estate awaiting
the proof of the dead mans identity.
A photograph and an accurate de-
scription Of Tate is asked for by par
ties who are certain that Hill was an
alias, and that Tate was the dead man S
real name.
Hill told certain persons he was a
schoolmate of Millionaire Rice. who
lately died in New York. II is learned
that Tate was educated out of the
state.
There is some excitement here on
account of the possibility of Tate and
Hill being the same man.
The California letter states that
Hill left no papers save a notebook in
cipher, which cannot be translated by
anyone who has examined it, The
letter was received by state official

MUCH INTEREST.
The Big Suit to Stop the Transfer
Boat Freely Discussed.
Some Think the Railroad Can be Stop.
ped from Hauling Passengers.

The big suits Of Messrs James and
Robert Owen against the Illinois Gen.
trail company to enjoin it from longer
running its transfer boat, the Osborne,
have aroused q great deal of discus
sion, especially in legal circles. Some
attorneys express themselves as believ-
ing that the railroad company can be
stopped from carrying passengers and
freight. except as regular railroad
business. At present 10 cents is
charged for passengers who cross the
river. the extra is cents being
charged those also who have passes
or mileage.
At Quigloy and 'Quiglay's ofiics a
reporter was told that nothing in re-
gard to the railroad company's side
was ready for publication. These
attorneys represent the railroad and
will in due time file answers to the
petition Of the Messrs. Owen.

Cause a Shooting in one Locality,
but She DIDN'T Hit the Dog.
Family Disturbance Aired in the Po-
lice Court This Morning By
Judge Kahn.
GASES DISPOSED OF

Dogs and chickens have caused
considerable trouble between the
Swift and Sands families near Four
tenth and Court streets. They have
had numerous "spats" for the past
eight months, according to Mrs.
Swift herself, who ought to know be-
cause she is usually in them. Yester-
day the trouble was somewhat more
serious than usual, and Miss Lizzie
Sands, a member Of the "anti-dog
faction" went out in tine yard with
pistol that seemed to have been used
in the war, according to the Swifts,
who own the dog and belong to the
"anti-chicken clan. She shot at the
dog twice, the weapon sounding like
a young cannon, but missed, and said
that she'd shoot at "old Mrs. Swift, IL
she poked her head out. Miss Sands
is a very pretty girl, but poor shot
it appears, as she missed the dog both
times; yet Mrs Swift had no uncon-
trollable desire to poke her head out.
at was the cutest little dog You
ever saw, and jest sat there and wag-
ged his tail as cunning like" she be-
gan, but the court smilingly told her
she could cut out ner observations on
the dog.
The evidence was decidedly in
favor of the "anti-chicken" contin-
gent. because there was more of it,
but finally the case was ended by the
warrant for fiourishing a pistol being
dismissed, and the defendant being
fined IS and costs for shooting inside
the city limits. Both women were
placed under a 800 bond to keep the
peace for l2 months. They are next
door neighbors, and would doubtless
have been good friends yet if Mrs.
Swift's dog had not chased Mrs.
Sands chickens. The young lsdy's
prepossessing appearance won the
sympathy of the court, and judgment
was suspended until September /.
Special Judge Kahn had only a few
other cases today.
Bob Woods was fined IS and costs
for riding in company with a prosti-
tute.
Burns Garner was fined s5 and costs
for fighting a young man named

Men Shoot Each Other in the Streets
ofGreenville.
One Dead and Two Cannot Recover,
While Others Are Badly
Hurt
TRAGEDY RESULTS FROM FEUD

Greenville, Miss, July 25.-As re-
suit of the renewal of an ancient
grudge that had existed between Neil
Couley and Ed Schrswber, Conley lies
dead at his home tonight.
schrswber is desperately wounded.
Officer Tom Burns is fatally shot.
and Captain Quinn, night officer in
charge OF the police force of the city,
is shot through the right hand.
The battle began at IL 40 O'Clock on
Central avnue. in front of a saloon
owned and conducted by Conley.
Schrawber was former member Of the
police force Of Greenville. The bad
blood between the two men dates from
the lstter's connection with the force.
Several late pedestrians saw them
standing in front of Conley's saloon,
and heard brief, determined col
loquy. That which had been expected
and feared. and long delayed, soon
followed.
The men, as IL by common impulse,
drew their weapons and opened fire
upon each other. The sharp reports
of the deadly weapons as they rang
out upon the night air attracted the
attention Of Captain Quinn and Off
Ger Burns. who were around a corner
on another street not far from the
scene Of the combat.
Quinn and Burns hurried to them.
The officers warned and admonished
the maddened oombatants to lower
their weapons and submit to arrest.
The warnings and Admonitions were
in vain.
In attempting to separate them the
officers mixed in the melee, and the
firing became general
Conley. having emptied his revolt
yer, sank to the sidewalk, gasping a
few times and expired with a bullet
through his heart
Burns reeled, and fell to the street,
a bullet having entered his side, pierre
ing one of his kidneys and lodging in
vital part Of his body.
Schrawber was shot in the arm, and
il is believed will die.

TO SECURE POSSESSION.

This m orning an attachment was
taken out against J. Carman and Ed
Drennen, attaching a Girardey piano
for a debt of slo3. to A. Rosengarten,
trustee.
The piano had been originally the
property of Carman, who lost 1t
