PROMINENT VERSAILLES
BANKER DIES.

| Mr.. Jas. p. Amsden, cashier of
the Armsden Bank, at Versailles,
died at st. .joseph's Infirmary, at
Lexington, on Monday, after a
short illness, with double pneu-
monia, coupled with appendicitis.
Mr.. Amsden and his wife had
gone to Fayette county to visit
their daughter, Mrs. Jas. B. Hag-
gin, at ElmendOrf, when Mr..
Armsden was attached with ap-
pendicitis and was taken to the
Lexington infirmary for an opera
ton. Before this could be done,
however, pneumonia set in, and,
after lingering about ten days, the
end came.
Mr.. Amsden was a prominent
financier of the Woodford capital,
and he and his brother, Mr.. John
l.. Amsden, owned the Amsden
Bank. He was also President of
the Louisville e. Atlantic Rail-
road, which runs to Beattyville
from Versailles. He was inter-
ested in other big affairs.
He was q genial and popular
gentleman.
Besides his brother, Mr.. John
l.. Amsden, he leaves wife, one
daughter (Mrs. w. L Moberly),
one step-daughter (Mrs. J. B.
Haggin) and a large circle of rela.
tives and friends to mourn his
death at the very height of his
usefulness as citizen.
The remains were brought to
Versailles on Thursday, the fune-
raj services conducted from the
Episcopal Church Cot which he
was member) and deposited in
the cemetery at that place by the
side of his father and mother.

A well-known citizen of the
West End has a great faculty for
initiating the voice of others. He
was once clerking in the store of
Boss hampton. The wife of a
prominent and well-to-do citizen,
whose voice was peculiar and
nasal, one day came into the store
to make purchases. The clerk
was in the back room and unno-
ticed saw the lady enter. No one
else was in the store. The clerk
saw a chance for a practical joke.
Initiating the voice of the lady's
husband. he exclaimed in loud
nasal and apparently excited
tones, hampton, didn't / tell you
not to sell my wife any more
goods OH credit? Can't you obey
me? My! My! My wife will
bring my nose to the grindstone
yet" And the clerk was proceed
ing in the same style to lament
the extravagances of the wife,
when the lady, in great indigna-
ition, flirted out of the store and
rushed homeward to find her hus-
band quietly seated in a chair in
his room reading paper. Stop
ping short she exclaimed:
why! Whyl but wasn't you
down at Boss Lampton's store
just now?"
"Havn't been out Of the house
to-day" he replied.
Then, remem bering the abilities
of the clerk as an imitator of the
husbands voice, she OWNED the
deception that had given her such
excitement, and Fastening back
to the store, she seized the yard
stick and gave chase to the clerk.

shoulders as he ran, laughing, to

tured to ask the loan Of the car
riage.
Take 1T and 90 to HI, grufily
replied Carneal.
The young clerk accepted the
use Of the carriage so abruptly
rendered, and driving around the
town he filled it with gay and
frolicsome bsvy of young girls
who took in the situation with
great glee. Driving out towards
Bridgeport and Hardinsville, they
spent the day in gathering grapes,
haws, persimmons and hickory
nuts, protracting the trip till
nightfall.
Meanwhile Major Carneal was
storming and fretting at the alb
sence of his carriage. His anger
was at fever heat, and his abuse
choleric.
AS the carriage drove up to the
hotel steps after nightfall. and
the young clerk stepped to the
ground, Major Carneal, who had
been angrily waiting it's return,
stepped forward and with vOlley
of eXpletives, asked him why he
had served him so badly.
"You told me-" said the clerk,
to take the carriage and 60 to
hi with it," but l couldn't get
any further than Hardinsville, so
1 brought it back.
The unexpected and humorous
answer SO touched Carneal that
he afterwards told the incident
himself, and later gave the young
man $25 diamond pin as a token
of his favor.

A Good Sermon.

1t was a good sermon on the liquor
problem as 1t is presented TO the people
Brattleboro that Rev. H. r. Miles
preached last Sunday He did not dwell
on theories nor attempt to exploit one
method above another as the best way
to control the sale OF liquor and pro-
mote temperance. He simply said. in
substance, that no license under our
local option law has been n good thing
Tor Brattleboro this last year because IL
has kept the town clean, made drunken
ness on our streets almost unknown, saved

lies kept temptation away from the boys.
and Enthusiastically has helped to make the
business OF the town good by keeping
the daily and weekly expenditure OF
money in legitimate channels for the
necessities and comforts Of life and not
for drink. Mr.. Miles amplihed his theme
and fortified his position in various ways
but this was his essential point, as any
one viii see wno reads the abstract OF
the sermon printed on another page.
And the sermon was practical TO the
very end, for the conclusion of II all
was that these conditions can be assured

On the business and practical side of
life Gen. Estey was identified from birth
with the organ making industry. The only
son Of the founder OF that industry as
we see it established in Brattleboro to-
day, he grew up with the business and

affair, was found yesterday in St

OF Burlington went there yesterday to
induce him to return to this country
without eXtradition papers. There are
two warrants against McCabe, one charg-
ing him with displacing the switch which
derailed the train, the other in testifying
falsely. McCabe's testimony was very
conflicting and sufficient to cause grave
suspicion to fall upon him. He refused
10 answer some questions on the ground
that he might incriminate himself. He

officials that II his accounts are found

NO MALICE AGAINST MR.. Fits.
Petitioners from Vernon Say They Be-
Ieve Him to Be Honorable and Up
rluht Man,

Petitioners from Vernon Say They Be-
Ileve Him to Be Honorable and Up
right Man.
The following statement, signed by the
five citizens of Vernon who signed the
petition for the disbarment of Attorney
General G. c. Fits, was issued yesterday
for publication in the newspapers of
Vermont:
I'VE, the undersigned petitioners, in
the case recently before the supreme
court, against Attorney General c. C.
Fits, in view Of the report made by the
commission appointed to hear said case
hereby desire to retract our belief in the
charges Of unprofessional conduct, as set
forth In said petition, and we most sin
cerely congratulate Mr.. Fits upon his
exoneration from said charges and his
commendation by the court. Since much
comment has been made by the public
press as to the reasons for signing said
petition we wish to say that we believed
the defendant in the case of Bartlett VS..
Prescott had been sadly wronged in
the final result Of said case, and for which
the counsel who managed the defense
was largely responsible. This belief was
formed from information received, and
from an examination Of the court records
by some of us. That we were misled ap-
pears from the finding of the commission.
We wish to emphatically deny any re-
vengeful or malicious motive and to state
that we believe Mr.. Fits to be an honor
able and upright man.
