hopeless so far as Franz Ferdinand was
concerned, for he had been the bitter
est opponent OF the formers morgan
attic union. protesting that the inequal-

s.de was such that marriage morgan
auc or otherwise, ought not TO be en-

had yielded an unwilling consent, and
Fronz Ferdinand was allowed to take
his Bohemian bride. his brother Ferd-
mad Karl remained obdurate and alb
serted himself from the wedding fcs-

would aid his brother IN marrying
woman of far lower social rank than
the Bohemian Countess Chotek SO far

quite Indifferent as to what sort of an

to regulate other peoples matrimonial
affairs.

The decree which Chancellor
Robins on last week issued direc-
ting the Mobile, Jackson and
Kansas City Railroad Co., to build
a line through the town of Pom
totoc has been met by the railroad
company by its usual evasive
tactics and the last move of the
road is tc bottle the town up
completely. Orders were issued
by the officials of the road to
stop all trains from the north to
Ecru, nine miles north of Por-
totoc and all trains from the
south at Algoma five miles south
of the town. This order was
not a part of the decree of the
chancellor but simply retaliatory
on the part of the road. The
Pontotoc case has become famous
in the courts and in the railroad
history of the state. The road
sought to build its line around
the town in violation of the con-
stitution of the state and the
people of the town have success
fully resisted both in the federal
and state courts, every move
made by the road. The fight now
on is causing the people much
inconvenience but it is a matter
of principle and they should and
will vim in the end. The road
has paved the way to heavy dam.
age suits by it's refusal to take
passengers and freight and it is
now probable that a lot of litiga-
ton will follow. The railroad
commission has issued an order
directing the road to run it's train
to the town and it is hardly sup
posable that the road will further
hold out in it's determination to
resist all the orders of the courts
and the officials. In the mean
time merchants are being sup
piled with goods by means of de-
livery wagons running from this
point and the citizens of the
place will not suffer for any of
the necessaries of life. tits now
a matter of a short time when
the road will haveto erect a depot
on the old site and build it's line
as the court has directed. Our
neighbor city has the sympathy
of her sister towns in her trouble
and we glory in her "spunk".

ANDY HAMILTON
EXHIBITS VOUCHER
Purports to be Receipt for S75,.
600 by Treasurer Of RepubIi-
can National Committee.
CORNELIUS BLISS DENIES IT..
Declined TO Look at Signature and
Say Whether or Not Il Was
Genuine.

New York, March 2o.--The Herald to-
day reproduces a fac simie OF what
purports to be a voucher for $4,000
given Andrew Hamilton in October.
1896, by the treasurer OF the Republic
can national committee. The alleged re-
ceipt was originally drawn for $4,000
and was dated oct, /. Subsequently
II was changed to acknowledge a total
OF $4,000. and the date "Oct. 20" was
added.
The Herald says that the voucher was
exhibited yesterday by Andrew Ham
ilton, formerly legislative agent for the
New York Life Insurance company at
Albany, and that Hamilton alleged that
the receipt was received by him in
acknowledgement of two Contribu-
tons which he had been instructed to
make TO the Republican national cam
paign fund. There is nothing I'm the al
legged voucher TO indicate that IL is oth-
er than an acknowledgment OF cash
received from Hamilton personally.
When the subject OF the voucher was
brought TO the attention Of Cornelius n.
Bliss, treasurer OF the Republican cons
mttee last night he promptly repudi-
ated all knowledge Of such voucher
positively declaring according to the
Herald, that nothing OF the kind exist
ed
The Herald quotes Mr. Bliss as say
ing.
"G have said all care TO say about
the matter. M such sum was paid over
by Mr., Hamilton or the New York Life.
My word ought to be accepted as final"
But II is now known that voucher
exists"

lists. IL any one says So he lies. Have

his reply was that influences kept him
