AMUSING INCIDENT
IN COURT ROOM
LAWYER HATCHER ILLUSTRATES
POINT WITH CHILDREN THAT
DO NOT EXIST.

An amusing incident occurred In the
argument of the condemnation suit of
the Swan Greek Railway VS.. George
Jennings in court Wednesday e.
H. Hatcher, attorney for the plaintiff,
drew vivid picture of the neon
veniences and Objectionable features
of having this railroad pass close to
the Jennings home. He said: Cen
tlemen of the jury as Mr. jennings
gathers his children about him at
night and the family has dropped off
into quiet, peaceful slumber one of
of these snorting, screaming trains
will dash by and their slumber will
be broken as If by an awful night
mare"
At this point Mr.. Hatcher's atten-
ton was called to the fact that Mr..
Jennings is a bachelor and has no
children, but Mr.. Hatcher defended
himself successfully by stating that
here was nothing in the record to |
,rove that Mr. Jennings is a bachelor.
The suit of Savage VS.. the L. & N.
iy. was compromised In the Circuit
Court this morning, the defendant
laying $3.50 and costs. The judgment
n the magistrates court was 1908. !

TO SAME WOMAN
UNUSUAL AND ROMANTIC FEA-
TUREs ATTEND WEDDING OF
JOE CoLLAGRosS.
Obtains Divorce and Marres Wo-
man Who Had Once Been
His Wife.

A wedding surrounded with unusual
and romantic feature took place Wed
nesday in the Office of Circuit Clerk
Nichols when Joe Collagross, a mer-
chant at Mt. Pleasant remarked the
woman whom he had been living with
for eighteen years and supposed all
the time was his legally married WIFE,
Twenty years ago Collagross and
his wife came to this country from
Italy The woman did not like this
country and returned to her native
land. The husband remained here
and soon afterwards heard that his
wife had died. After about two years
he married Ada Curtis in this country
and the two have lived happily, the
husband prospecting financially and a
number of children coming to bless
the home and make glad the hearts
of the parents.
Last summer the first Mrs. Cola
gross appeared upon the scene like
one risen from the dead and there
was CONSERVATION and alarm in the
once happy family. The circumstan-
ces we're explained to Mrs. Collagros
number one and she went to Ala
bama where she had relatives.
Collagros applied for divorce from
his first wife at the present term of
court and it was granted Wednesday.
Then accompanied by few friends
the husband went to the office of Mr..
Nichols and remarked Ada Curtis,
Esq. R. H. Guest performing the cere-
nony. The happy couple then re-
urned to Mt Pleasant.

VERY FAVORABLE CHANGE.
RESULT MOST BENEFICIAL MARKET AND THERE WAS No
TIcEAHLE RISE IN srocKs-PLAN IS ENDORSED GEN
ERALLY FINANcIERs AND BANKERS

| NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Hope came
to Wall street this morning in unex
pectedly generous quantities, with the
Sunday announcement from Washing.
ton that the treasury department
would Immediately issue 500, 900, 900
OF 2 per cent Panama canal construc-
ton bonds. Although it will be sew
eral weeks before the governments
latest expedients can be made actu-
ality, the effect was immediate.
There were three noticeable results
today, as follows: The stock market
showed initial gains of from / to 4
points, which follows under realiza-
ton sales, but which finally stiffened
into a substantial gain.
The premium on currency fell grad
ually to l per cent, much to the re-
greet of money hoarders, who had
hoped for premium of 4 or 5 per
cent.
A feeling that it would be unnecessary
to draw on Europe for large additional
gold shipments gained substantial
growth. If further shipments should
prove necessary it would seem that
the new treasury certificates would be
considered satisfactory collateral for
a FRENCH loan. The statement has
been made in Europe cables that the
Bank of France was anxious to assist
the government of the United States,
but that the directors of that institu-
ton were unwilling to permit export
Of gold to this country through private
channels.
The issue of these certificates af-
lords an opportunity to have the Bank
Of France to deal directly with the
United States.
Although nodeffinite statement could
'e obtained from members of the firm,
t was declared in the financial dis
riot that ]. p Morgan & Co. would
orm syndicate to assure the sue
ess of the entire issue of $50, 900 900
Panama 2 per cents.
There was no indication as to what
he Morgan syndicate bid would be
r what means would be used to scat
Or the new bonds among the national |
anks so that the issuing of bank t
otes might be facilitated t
It developed today that there had /
cen an important Sunday night con- b
'rence at J. Pierpont Morgans house p
which Secretary Cortelyou's plan .
II relief was thoroughly gone over.
The plan Of the treasury depart 81
ent was generally endorsed by the v
mixing interests today, Practically
'ery tinancier who would discuss the q
after held the opinion that this m
100000 of government assistance q
ould finally relieve the situation. m

Washington. March 16.-J. Pier

be concealed Then the ultimate re-
suits of his recent hurled call upon
President Roosevelt will be, no one

that the President is more determined
than ever to eradicate certain abuses
in railroad management. Although
Morgan may have secured from the
president an emphatic affirmation CT
the 1atter's belief that the Hartman
methods of railroad operation was
menace TO the country, it is under
stood that he also learned that the
president was determined to solve the
problem of the evils growing out OF
railroad stock jobbing and ver-capital-
ization. The Wall street king did not

plated The president conferred to-
day with Governor Deneen and the
latters attorney general. They dis
cussed Harrisnans connection with the
Chicago & Alton and went over the
entire railroad situation of that great
state The president made it clear
that he wishes to absorb the local
atmosphere and it is said that he in
formed his distinguished callers, who
had come to him in response to
special invitation. that he desired to
familiarize himself with the sentiment

ton of this. it was announced later
from the white house that the presi-

THINKS SLOOP HIDES LAD
Detectives Watch ManeuverS
of Strange Boat.
HEADS FOR JERSEY COAST

Dover, Del, March 16.-In a black
hulled sloop, which tackled up and
down in front of kits Hammock
beach this afternoon for over half
hour finally heading towards the Jer-
sey shore when the signals of white
and black flags displayed from the
mast head were not answered, detec-
tives believe that four year old Hor-
ace n. Marvin, Jr., kidnapped thir-
teen years ago, is held prisoner by
his abductors. Concealed in tall
marsh grass, bordering the shore, a
score of detectives lay all day, watch
ing the sloop, which confirms the ru-
mors that the authorities have entered
into negotiations with the kidnappers
and that the boy is to be returned to
his father within the next forty-eight
hours. While the detectives secreted
themselves, Rose Standish, the six
year-old cousin of the boy who was
playing with young Marvin at the hay
stack on the day that he was stolen,
and John Marvin, his six year old
brother, were used as decoys to lure
the men in the boat to land. For
hours the children romped up and
down the beach. When the mysteri-
Gus sloop drew in sight, they kept on
playing, as if nobody was around, but
the occupants were evidently suspi-
cious when their signals were unan-
swered Since the sighting of the
sloop late this afternoon, the head
quarters of the detectives was the
scene of activity.
