The court was beautifully adorned with
tapestries and a profusion Of plants and
flowers. The pope occupied an especially

His holiness entered the court by way Of

was greeted with enthusiastic acclamations

defiled before the pope carrying banners.
The vatican officials, a number OF women

witnessed the scene from windows over

The fete was brought to a close by the

PAIR FOUND DEAD TOGETHER
Prominent RaiIrOader and Wife Die
In Bathroom While Children
Dance on Same Floor.

ST PAUL, July "a special from Grand
Forks, N. D., says: While their son and
daughter and several young friends were
dancing in the parlor last night Charles j.
Mccormick, a Great Northern conductor,
and his wife were dying in a bathroom upon
the same floor. Their bodies were found
some hours later by their young son, who
went to call them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccormick had been out
driving in the evening and had both ap-
peared to be in excellent health and spir-
it's. Upon returning home they informed
their son and daughter, who we're enter
tanning several friends in the parlor, that
they were going to take bath. Later the
daughter was asked to bring them some
clothing and this was the last seen or heard
Of them alive.
The party in the parlor made merry un-
til a late hour and when the guests had
left Hilby, the son, aged 10, went to call
his parents, supposing they had fallen
asleep. He could get no response and, be-
coming alarmed, sought for assistance.
When the door to the bathroom was finally
opened Mr.. and Mrs. Mccormick were
found to be dead
Their bodies were in the bathtub and
their clothing scattered about the room.
Nearby stood a partly emptied bottle Of
beer and fragments OF a lunch. physi-
clan who was called thought they had been
dead two hours. No satisfactory explana-
tion OF the tragedy could be given, though
the evidence points to poisoning. An in
quest will be held.
Mr.. Mccormick was one Of the oldest
conductors on the Great Northern. He was
known as President Hills favorite con-
ductor and was always selected to take
charge Of the presidents private car.

The question of building new
market house is one that is being
freely discussd, and il seems q strong
sentiment is developing against a
new one. The reason urged is that
Paducah is getting too large for one
market house, and that the location
of the present market house is so far
from the center Of the populated dis
triots that the people have gone to
the groceries for marketing, and
only comparatively a few go to the
market house. This is only one
argument, however. Another is that
IL the city is to issue bonds for 3
market house, or for the purpose Of
providing the public with adequate
accommodations for doing their daily
marketing, the city should have n
house where the present one is, and
two more smaller ones in other parts
of the city. A great many people,
owing to the extensiveness Of the
business now done with the grocer
les, are in favor of issuing no bonds
whatever for q new market house, hut
prefer allowing the city to do with
the market house she now has. It is
not certain whether this part of the
bond proposition will carry or not.
The administration should make clear
its plans at once, in order that peo-
pie may understand fully what they
are to vote on.

WIZ NEED TaE IMPRovEMENrs ms.

The proposition to Issue city bonds
is receiving considerable attention
from the people of Paducah, but a
great many men of Intelligence display
a distressing ignorance on the subject.
Some are heard every day to declare;
81 am opposed to voting this 5000, 900
tax on the people" They are not to
vote any tax" on the people. This
is where they make serious mistake.
They are to vote in favor or against
the city issuing bonds. which will be
sold and certain improvements made
with the proceeds of the sale.
The interest ON the bonds every
year will amount to several thousand
dollars, and this will have TO be paid
by the taxpayers, but it can be shown
that the improvements will result in
such a saving to the city, coupled with
an increase in revenue, that the in
terest and sinking fund will easily be
provided for without q cent Of extra
cost to the taxpayers.
II seems that there Is only one way
to obtain needed improvements in Pa
ducah, and that is by q bond issue. 1t
is generally conceded that Paduosh
needs better streets, a new city hos
pital. and one or more new market
houses, if we are to have any market
house at all The Democrats keep the
tax rate as high now as the people will
tolerate, and their extravaganza in
various ways prevents there ever being
sufficient money with which co make
extensive improvements, hence the
only solution to the problem of munio-
ipal improvement is by bond issue.
Lexington is now agitatinR the ques-
tion of better streets, and one of her
councilmen recently went to Owens
boro. The latter place is one of the
best and most progressive cities In the
state, and its beauty and modern APP
pesrance have been scared princi-
pslly by improvements made by a
bond issue.
The Lexington councilman was SO
favorably impressed with what he saw
in Greensboro, that when he got home
he made the following statement for
the benefit Of the somewhat slow ard
unprogressive people OF his own city:

"IRedg" Duval's Supposed Widow
Makes a Confession.
Trouble Over Securing Possession Of
the Remains-She Wanted
the Estate.
MATTERS STRENGTHENED OUT

Since the death Of Mr.. "Redge"
Duval of Paducah in wreck in Indi-
ana about two weeks ago there has
been some doubt as to his marriage to
Miss Florence Chamberlain, the LOUIS
willie papers saying that he was not
married Relatives OF the deceased
were asked about the matter this
morning and one said:
mo, Reginald was not married TO
the woman, and that is what caused
the trouble in arranging for the fun
eral and settling the estate. We want.
ed to bury the remains here and spent
over half a day telegraphing her to
secure the body, but she insisted on
burying it in Louisville. We had
to go there to attend the funeral and
subsequent developments proved that
she was not married and wanted to
secure his estate, his insurance, etc.
"she was the first on the scene OF
the wreck, having gone out on the
wreoker, and il is claimed took all
his papers, the marriage license and
his purse and other personal posses
sions. She took charge Of the remains
in the authority Of a wife and arrang-
ed for the burial. We could find no
trace of the marriage, although the
license had been issued, and placed
the matter with attorneys, who, with
the assistance of secret service men,
found that she had never been we'd
ded, and finally secured her own con.
fession when she was sent for in the
contrasting Of the Enthusiastically
She was summoned to appear and set
up her claim for the administrator
ship, but she did not appear. Instead
she wrote q note saying that she was
not married TO the deceased aud had
no right to qualify as administrator.
We then had the body removed here
and buried at Oak Grove.
"She at first tried every means pos
sible to set up claim for the estate
on the grounds that she wSs his law
fully welded wife, and even went so
far as to take her brother with her to
a magistrate and try to marry MIN in
the name Of Reginald Duval. By
chance the magistrate knew that
Reginald Duval was dead and re-
fused"
The relatives were rather inclined
to remain silent on the subject today,
but after seeing that the Louisville
papers were investigating the mat
ter decided TO make a statement. 1t
is said that some Of the papers of the
deceased man are still in the posses.
sion of the woman, but are supposed
to be in the hands Of the chief Of po-
lice. The matter is still being worked
on, but as the alleged wife has relin-
pushed all claims on the deceased in
the name OF his wife, the estate will
be Strengthened out and all differences
settled.
MT Duval's body was brought here
Thursday and buried at Oak Grove.
