ent whereabouts unknown, has just
swjndled something like thirty eight
creditors in this and adjoining coun-
ties out of sums aggregstng in value
So, 4S2. SO. For about two weeks Clark s
base OF operations was at Irvington.
He sent agents up and down both the
main and the branch lines of the
Henderson Route and they bought
poultry in large quantities, J. B.
Biggs, of Irvington, being Clark 8
manager and solicitor Clark paid
cash for large part of the poultry
he bought but he did not pay for
several thousand dollars worth, and
he shipped more away from Irvington
than he lett there to pay his crAdit tors.
Clark left the county on last Thurs
day, and the result is that a sale of
his stuff will be made next Thursday
for the benefit of mis- disagreeably sur
pIised creditors who are the unsus-
pecting victl ms of the biggest swim
die of It's kind in the history of this
part of the State.
Clark came to Irvington nearly
three weeks ago. He established a
poultry station and deposited SO, 500
In the First State Bank at Irvington.
He sent out his buyers, and for a
week or more thousands of eggs,
chickens, turkeys and geese pc red
into Irvington by wagons and by
trains from throughout the country
for lies in every direc tion. Clark
paid Louisville prices and cash down
for all the stuff he bought direct from
the farmers, and they sold readily.
But, at many towns, he had the
merchants to buy for him from the
farmers in their vicinities. He paid
then for the first shipments they
made to him, but left Irving,On before
he paid for the last ones, and he also
went away with $39S belonging to
the First State Bank, and that is why
the climax came Saturday afternoon,
when Deputy Sheriff H. NJ. Beard, of
Hardinsburg, losed up CLARK 2 estab-
lIshment under IAN attachment Issued
by the First State Bank.
Clark soon drew out by checks the
81, 500 he had deposited in the First
State Bank, to pay for the first ship
ments of poultry. He then drew out
$500 ON draft on Cincinnati bank
He presented a second draft for $500,
with a bill OF lading for one OF the
cars OF poultry he had shipped at
tached. He Kept the original bill of
lading and gave the duplicate to the
bank. The bank paid his checks a.
mounting to 1898, hut before II had
paid all the amount OF the raft it
received a message from the Cincl-
matt bank stating that Clark had
drawn out all his money there.
In the meantime, Clark got ready
to make one of the best plays IN his
swindllng scheme. He LETT Irvington
on the late tram Thursday night and
came to Cloverport. Here he met Mr.
Biggs, who was not any wiser than
the victims of his swindls as to Clark
intentions. He told Mr.. Biggs to re-
turn to Irvington and continue to con-

ST. LOUIS, Oct. TO- Mrs Charles w. Fair
banks. wife OF the Republican candidate for
vice-President, and president general OF
the Daughters Of the American Revolution ,
put stop to-day to a proposed strike
In the ranks Of the daughters. who are here
Tor their annual convention.
The strikers were members OF the St.
Louis chapter Of the order, and the reason
for the proposed strike was the alleged
remark made by Mrs Daniel Manning,
president Of the board Of lady managers,
that the st. Louis daughters had not done as
much as they might have done for the enter
tainment Of the visiting daughters. and GER
tainly not as much as the board OF lady
managers had done.
When the st. Louis daughters heard OF
this remark they practically decided not to
attend the reception to the daughters
to be given by the board Of lady managers
tomorrow. The matter was laid before
Mrs. Fairbanks. who said:
"Of course the st. Louis daug hters will
attend the reception. There Is no reason
for them to feel offended. They have
certainly done everything that could be
expected of them in preparing for the
convention. II there Is not room for all at
the luncheon we will find way to make
room"
So the st. Louis daughters agreed to
pocket their grievance and 60 to the
luncheon.

JAPANESE PRINCE COMING HERE
Mikado Sends Fusfimi on a Mission to
This Country.

Special caol. Despatch 10 TBR SUN.
Toxic, Oct. 10.-Prince Rushimi Sada-
naru tonight gave dinner in honor of
Lloyd Griscom, the American Minister.
The Prince will sail for the United States
on Oct II. Though Prince Arisugawa
Takchito Is more closely connected by blood
with the Emperor than Prince Fushimi,
the latter is the senior imperial Prince.
During the past twenty years more than
six European Princes have visited Japan
but thus far only few of the Japanese
imperial Princes have gone abroad in an
official capacity. Prince Arisugawa repre-
scented the Mikado at the jubilee Of the
late Queen Victoria, and Prince Komabu
represented him at King Edwards cor
onation. 1'-
Prince Fishimi received private educa-
ton, like all the other imperial Princes,
before he was allowed to 60 to school. He
speaks French. He is the ranking Prince
OF the army, as Prince Ansugawa is OF the
navy. As Lieutenant-G General he COM
manded the First Division at the battle of
Nanshan Hill, and participated in the pre-
liminary operations before Port Arthur
He has since been promoted to full Gen.
eralcy, and is now attached to headquar-
ters here.
The Mikado has instructed him to visit
the United States, and Americans should
regard his visit as great compliment.
