Consolidation Of Tobacco Companies
Probable by January lst'
The Smith and Scott and the Flour,
noy companies to Absorb That Of
the Porter. Hudson Co.
CoNsUMMAToN BY JANUARY

Paducah, from present indications,
is to be greatly benefited by contem-
plated consolidation of commercial in
terests. Negotiations are now pend
ing that will doubtless result shortly
in great good to the manufacturing
interests Of the city.
The Smith and Scott Tobacco COM
pany, from present indications, will
no doubt soon greatly increase its cap
ital stock and in so doing will acquire
the business of the Porter Hudson To
baooo company, of Paris, Tenn, and
of the Flournoy Tobacco company, Of
Paducah, both among the largest of
their kind in the country.
The last two named companies bus.
mess added to that of the ever incress.
ing trade of the Smith and Scott com.
pany, will without doubt add to the
local interests in such way that /,
will exceed that Of most of the enter.
prises Of the kind in the country.
The deal, according to present indi.
cations, will be oonsummated by the
first of the year.
In addition to the above. it will re,
suit in Paducsh's securing the oiti
zenship and residence Of Mr.. Charles
Porter. of Paris, Tenn, whose per.
sonal standing and business reputation
are such that his location in Paducah
will be q matter on which the city
can well be congratulated.

II is hard to determine just when
the people of Psducah can begin to
expect something in the way Of public
improvements. The officials are now
engaged in playing politics and draw
ing their salaries, and may be ex-
pected to do little else for another
year. During the past gear over $780,
900 has been spent and only one i'm
provement authorized, that q small
street graveled at tine expense Of the
property owners. The city owes
money now, will have to borrow q
great deal, no doubt, before there are
any taxes collected next June, and
when the taxes are collected, much
of them will have to 90 towards pay
ing off the loans, hence the outlook
is not very bright as long ss the
present crowd is in Office to keep MP
the endless chain of extravaganza.
Already the preliminary rumblings
from next years municipal politics is
heard and there will be little time for
anything else but politics in official
circles until after the election next
November.

This end of the state should take
more interest in the Kentucky Exhibit
Association. the object of which is to
see that Kentucky is properly repre-
scented at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position at st. Louis in 1904. In 9TH
or cities auxiliaries are being organ
lied and great deal Of interest taken
in the work, while here many people
have not even heard Of 1t, apparently.
The legislature refused to appropriate
any money for an exhibit, hence 1t
will have to be made at the expense Of
the people. IL should be good one,
nevertheless, and will be all the more
creditable and appreciated because the
people had to get il up themselves.

REMARKABLE CoNCATE-
NATION OF EVENTS

That great oaks from little acorns
grow" was seldom better illustrated
than by this story, Of a billiard ball
bounding out of a window and causing
q series Of mishaps that resulted in a
fire, a death, a broken engagement and
a suit for damages. 1t happened in
Paris, and in this manner: One even
ing while playing billiards in his
house . certain NJ. Richard hit the
ball so hard that it bounded from the
table, through an open window, and,
crashing through a skylight Of par
lor in the adjoining house, smashed Q
Sevres vase.
The racket so frightened an Angora
cat sleeping on a table in a room that
she upset the lamp. which set fire to
the tapestry, resulting in the calling
out of the fire department, which
did much damage by water.
The house was occupied by an in
valid woman and her niece, to whom
NJ. Richard was engaged. and the ex-
element caused the death of the old
woman. Thereupon the young wo-
man broke the engagement, and, to-
gsther with tine other heirs, is suing

The Elks to Begin at Once Preparing
for Next Year,
Not Yet Certain What will Be Civ
en-, but it will Be Big
Affair.
A CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED.

Paducah will have no carnival the
coming spring, but she will have fes-
tivities just the same. Owing TO q
ruling Of the grand lodge of Elks at
Salt Lake City last summer, mo more
carnivals can be given after this year,
by the Elks.
Paducah lodge, which hes given
two successful csrnivals, is TO have
something next spring, however. which
will be equal in Importance to any
carnival that was ever given. The ex-
act nature of the affair has not yet
been determined, but next Thursday
night, according to present calcula'
lions, a Carnival club" is to be or
gsnized in Paducah. Its object is to
give to Paduoah the usual spring
festivities, and while the clubs men,
bers will doubtless consist principal
ly Of members of the Elks lodge, it
will not be under the direction or
control of the Elks lodge.
Already Mr. LA. Lagomarsino, who
was director general Of the two carni-
walls already given, and Secretary Hen
~ Mum, who did such excellent work
in the previous carnivals, have begun
to receive many letters from entertain
ment companies which desire to fur
nish Psducah with attractions at the
next carnival.
Among them are the Bostock .Ferrari
company, which will have out this
coming year an animal show bigger
than anything ever seen before, the
Gaskill Carnival company, and the
Potter Rice company.
The latter is owned by Mr.. Potter,
formerly at the head of the Bostock
company, and Mr.. Rice, who was
here as promoter Of the Gaskill com
pany last year. They will have out
the coming season an "Elks Circus
which will be given under large tent
ana will have numeruos sideshow at.
fractions.
The seating capacity of the main
tent will be 5000 people and the pro-
motors expect to have a paying enter
prise. They will make various cities,
as the carnival companies did, and
will doubtless do large business The
sideshow attractions will number from
ten to fifteen, and in addition there will
be several free attractions, such as the
cycle whirl and high divers. placed in
the center Of the city.
The numerous letters are being an
swered, and the companies informed
that Paducah is to have festivities as
usual the coming year.
As to the proceeds realized by the
club, they can be disposed of as seen
proper by the members and will be
given to the Elks.
The latter will probably not begin
their home to be located on North
Fifth where the Terrell livery stable
is now stands, until 1904. They have
leased the stable to the Messrs. Terrell
for another year, but preparations for
the building will probably begin next
summer, although active work will not
commence until the following year.

Court Of Appeals Decision Means
Much to the Railroads.
They Can No Longer Have Damage
Suits Transferred From State
to the Federal Courts.
THEY WILL TAKE AN APPEAL

The decision Tuesday Of the court
Of appeals OF Kentucky, IL sustained
by the United States supreme court,
where IL will doubtless be taken by
the railroads, will mean hundreds of
thousands Of dollars TO the railroads,
as we'll AZ the other foreign corpora.
tions doing business in the state.
The Kentucky court OF appeals by a
majority vote has decided that all cor
porations. no matter where organized
or Incorporated, become to all intents
and purposes Kentucky corporations
when they comply with the state laws
relative to corporations.
This, II sustained, will prevent rail
roads and other corporations from tax
ing damage suits filed against them
from the state to the federal court
To prevent them from taking their
cases to the federal court will mean
thousands Of dollars TO them.
Most foreign corporations, especially
railroads, when they are sued in the
civil courts for damages, at once make
q motion to transfer the case TO the
federal coart on the grounds Of diverse
citizenship. Where the plaintiff re-
sides in the state and the corporation
is Of another state the defendant has
had right 20 do this heretofore.
and, as every attorney Of any exper-
iencs knows, corporations do not fare
90 badly in federal courts o. they do
in the civil courts, where most OF
the iurymen are men who have an
innate prejudice against corporations,
especially railroads, and can see only
one side Of . damage case, and that
is the side against the corporation.
In the federal court the Judge Is usu-
ally an ADLER and stricter man than
the average circuit Judge, and many
times he instruots the Jury 20 bring
in q verdict that would be entirely
different in q state court, where the
Jury would have more latitude. q
The court OF appeals Of Kentucky,
however, has Just decided that these
big corporations, especially the rail
roads, cannot consider themselves non
residents after having complied with
the state law, as they then become, to
all intents and purposes, home cor
porations. This means that the cor
porations will have to stand trial Of
all these damage suits in the state
courts instead of the federal, except
where other reasons than diverse citi-
zenship. which is the one nearly al
ways offered here, are offered. AS
it means so much to the railroads,
It is certain that they will appeal
the case to the supreme court Of the
United States.

An Agreement Reached in the Hut
Crimson Murder Trial.
+. NJ. Headley Trial Still On in Cir
cult Court Today. -Prosecu-
ton Finishes.
LITTLE ELSE WAS DONE

The jury in the case against Eli
Hutchinson, charged with the murder
of his brother law, George Gray.
this afternoon shortly after Q O'Clock
brought IN a verdict against the defen'
d,nt for eleven years.
Ii had had the case since 1890 yes
terday morning, and IL was thought
until the verdict was rendered that the
jury would be unable TO agree.
This afternoon the prosecution fin
ished lis evidence in the II. NJ. Head
ley case, and motion to dismiss on
the prosecutions evidence was being
argued at press time.
The Ellis NJ. Hesdley bribery case
is still on trial at the court house and
this morning Mr.. Van Burnett, one Of
the star witnesses, was ON the stand.
will Baker, the detective, who is
supposed TO have received the bribery
money from Mr.. Burnett to whom it
is claimed Headley gave the money
first, testified first NJ TO how he and
Headley had started talking about the
money transaction, and the chances Of
getting the election officers to take
money for services.
Following this ex-Msyor James
Lang, who was in Office at the time
the alleged bribery Was committed,
took the stand but told nothing more
than his name, IS the attorneys for the
defense objected to all questions and
the court sustained the objections.
Emil Gourieux, one Of the officers who
arrested and searched Headley, and
who claims to have found a receipt
on his person for the amount Of mon
ey supposed to have been paid Burnett
and later to Baker, testified next and
told of the arrest and the searching
and claimed to have found the receipt,
which was not permitted to be shown.
l.. K. Taylor, the attorney, who was
also alleged TO have been connected
with the plot to catch Headley. testi-
fed, but told very little. Following
this Mr.. Burnett took the stand and
began his testimony about II O'Clock.
The following cases were dismissed !
Beck and Corbett Iron company
against q. II. ChTisty; Fulton. Conway
Co, against q. II Christy and w.v.Ea
ton against c. II. Christy.
The following indictments have
been returned, the grand jury reporting
