} MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
BEAR CREEK TO BE DAMNED
Power Plant Will Furnish Electricity
for North Mississippi.

A charter has been applied for tie
North Mississippi Traction Company.
This company contemplates the erec-
tiOn OF great dam across Bear creek,
fourteen miles south of Iuka, at point
where the hills close in on either side
until the space is only few hundred
feet. The rock bluffs rise on either
side to height of 100 feet and the bot
tom of the stream is also solid rock,
thus forming an ideal site for perma-
nent dam, which will cost from $50, 900
to $4,000. The power thus damned up
will be used to operate dynamos esti-
mated at 1000 to 5,OOO-horsepower.
The company will construct an electric
railway, beginning at the mouth OF In
dian creek, on the Tennessee river,
running thence south via Iuka, Tisho-
mingo City, Bay Springs, Fulton,
AmOry and Aberdeen, to Columbus,
and may be extended from the latter
place to Jackson. The power furnished
by the big Bear creek dam will not only
be ample for the railway, but will be
sufficient to light all the towns through
which the road passes, besides a large
surplus for manufacturing purposes.

Allegations in the Case.
The allegation that in the beginning

OF ancient lineage and royal connec-
tions has been made the victim of a
sham lunacy inquiry; that he is a
prisoner in his own house, that his
mother, Dowager Marchioness Town

this conspiracy should be carried out

Heavy Loss to the State.

A destVlctive fire, apparently of in
cendiary origin, occurred at the States
Rankin county farm, which destroyed
the entire line of barn structures, to-
gether with all the live stock, which in
cluded fifty-five head of horses and
mules, among them IL valuable breed
ing jack which was purchased at a cost
of $500 only recently, and a Devon bull
kept for the same purpose, costing al
most as much. In additiod to the stock
killed in the confagration, all the feed,
hay, corn, oats and bran, harness, gear
and other property, were destroyed.
There was no insurance. Gov. Varda-
man has offered reward of $500 for
information that will lead to the capture
of the perpetrators of the outrage.

could not do with this weakling if he
were king instead of merely mar
quis. Why, I could never show him
to my friends! They'd say l kid
naped him!"
But the Sutherst family was proof
against any excessive delicacy of that
kind, and the marquis married Miss
Fields; by special license, in the pres
ence of her father and two friends in
May, 1905.
Thomas Sutherst, the brides father,
barrister-at-law, has had a notable
career. In 1891 he appeared as a la
Dor leader and organized the great
London bus strike; some time later
went into the underwriting and finan-
cial business and prospered so well
that he took house in Grosvenor
square.
His daughter Gladys, the present
Marchioness Townshend, is small, but
extremely pretty, with the most beau
tiful real auburn hair and the lowell

er, determined, took charge of the
marquis from the day OF the marriage,
and put him in his proper place in the

this charming, gushing young girl in
consideration of a loan of 927,0O0
($135, ,0O0), to be raised by her finan-
cling father.

Deaf and Dumb Institute.

Superintendent Dobyns of the State

issued an address to the parents of the

calling attention to the increased facili
ties that will be afforded by the addi-
tions which the legislature has provided
at this session, in the course of which
he says: "It will require year at least
to erect and equip these buildings, and
up to that time only about ITO can be
accommodated, and until this additional

and reduction of interest on mort
cages to about $4,000 within seven or
eight years. His mother has a joint
ure Of $12,5OO per annum, which
ceases on her death. He is
closely related to the royal family
He will settle jointure of $500 a
year on his wife, also a dover house.
Any money she might have would be
settled on the younger children, as
only $4,000 a year out of the estate
goes to them. Everything else would
go to the eldest son. When he came
into the estates six years ago he
found there were mortgages to the
amount of $S25.O00. He has succeeded
in paying off about 100000. His wife
would in all probability become in
time mistress Of the robes, with $10,-
600 year salary. He will be deputy
lieutenant for Norfolk. He has taken
his seat in the house of lords, and in
some official instances, such as Lord
Tweedmouth's Lord Wimbonnel's and
Lord Ripon's, he walked ahead of
everyone as senior liberal peer"
The agent complains that he found
the noble marquis a very difficult
commodity to dispose of in the mar
riage market. There were numerous
applicants, but when brought face to
face with their fate, they shrank from
it.

Statement by Wife's Father.
The allegations made by friends Of
the marquis are denied by Mr.. South
erst, father of the machioness. Fol-
lowing is his statement of the case:
When the marriage of my daugh-
ter to Lord Townshend was in course
Of arrangement and during the dis
cussion as to the marriage settlement
an agreement was come to between
myself and the marquis in which 1
agreed to procure to be advanced to
his lordship, upon adequate security,
the sum of e27,0OO (s135, ,OO0), to be
paid to him on certain terms. The
marquis agreed to charge his life in
terest in the Raynham estates as Sc
curity for this advancement, together
with interest at the rate of four per
cent. per annum, and With the pro-
ceeds of the advance to pay off loan
of about G12,000 and other debts
amounting in the aggregate to 927,-
900. 1t was agreed that if the result
of the marriage is that son be born
within a period of IL months the
charge upon the estates should be re-
leased and the amount settled upon
Lady Townshend.
'They say 1 agreed to give 927,000
before the marriage. AS a matter of
fact there is clause in the above
agreement which says: Upon the
marriage taking place a sum Of money
to be mutually agreed upon shall be
advanced by the first party to the
second party, which is to be regarded
as on account of the total sum to be
advanced and charged as a loan" But
in case the 927,000 was not to be paid
until, as the first clause states, the
charge referred to is executed and all
prior existing charges are dealt with
satisfactorily and all necessary re-
leases given These conditions have
not yet been fulfilled. So that dis

to consider the MARQUIS conduct per-

NIT that my daughter was very as

he that / thought he must be run

for DR.. Bramwell, of Wimpole street,
to give us his advice.
Shut UP in House.
Dr. Bramwell strongly advised that
Lord Townshend should not go to
Brighton that day, and consequently
Lady Townshend refused to give him
the key of the door, saying that he
had been away ten weeks, and must
stay now at his house in Brook street
