Crowds Composed of Peasants, Friars

Rome. May 5-Emperor William and
King Victor Emanuel, escorted by
cuirassiers and cheered by the people,
drove to the railroad station this morn
ing and went to the abbey Of Monte
Casino. The weather was magnifi-
cent.
Quaint crowds composed of peas
ants, friaIs and sisters gathered from
miles around the village to see the
extraordinary spectacle of two soy
ereigns and six princes at Monte Cas-
sino. The real reasons for the visit
were the part taken by Emperor Will
liam in assisting the Benedictine in
stitutions in Prussia and the prom
ise which he made to visit the cele-
brated Mother House here. Gorgeous
equipages with outriders and positions
in hunting livery accompanied by mil
itary escort and the suites of the SOW
ereigns and princes, drove up to the
abbey from the station, cheered by
the peasants. At the abbey detach
ment of troops rendered military hon
ors and a battery of guns fired a sa-
lutte when the abbot, the Rev. Father
Boniface Krug, from st. Vincents S
arch-abbey, near Beatty, Panns, ap-
peared surrounded by the friars at the
foot Of the grand staircase the con-
trast in the two groups, the soyereigns
and their party and the abbot and the
friars, with the background of grim,
historic walls, which had resounded
on various occasions with battle cries
as well as with prayers, presented a
most attractive spectacle. 1t was the
first time an emperor of Germany had
been received at the abbey of Monte
Casino.
The Rev Father Krug received the
emperor and King Emanuel in most
cordial manner and expressed his ap-
probation of the honor conferred on
the abbey by their visit

Jackson, KY, at attorney for the fu-

tested election cases. He succeeds
as counsel James B. Marcum, who
was killed in the courthouse yesterday

BelVin Even, who was talking with
Marcum yesterday when he was shot

means that Even has been marked. !"
He is a Cochrill sympathizer. He
owns the Even hotel at Jackson, and
has considerable property. Even
when seen today positively refused to
say anything regarding the shooting,
except Ito describe how they were
standing when the shot were fired. He
refused to say who fired the shots or
who was recognized in the hallway of
the courthouse. The belief is that
