Meade County Romance.

Mr.. J. r. Troutman and Miss Laura
H. Etherton, of Meade county, were
married in the Clerks Office in this city
by squire Bruner at an early hour We'd
nesday night. They were accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. T H. Chism, of Clo-
verport, the latter being the sister of
Mr. Troutman. The wedding seemed
to have been against the wishes of the
father and brother of the bride, who
followed the couple as far as Cannelton
in an effort to prevent its consumma-
ton, and where refusal to grant the
necessary license was met. They then
cameto Hawesville where the clerk found
no legal obstacle in the way of the is
sual, and the ceremony followed
While here all parties appeared under
much anxiety lest the pursuers would
turn at any moment and frustrated the
nuptial plans, but the ceremony was
soon said and there was no further
molestation. All of the parties seem to
be first-class citizens. Hancock

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Miss Nina Bruins Takes Half
Ounce of Laudanum.

Miss Nina Bruins, the fifteen year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
Bruins, attempted to commit suicide
about noon last Wednesday at her
home at S04 Clay street, by taking over
half an ounce of laudanum. No reason
is given for her act except that she
just wanted to die.
Miss Bruins was in her room when
her mother called her to dinner, but
she failed to answer and shortly after
Mrs. Bruins went into the room to find
the girl unconscious across the bed. A
physician was summoned to the home.
She walked about the house for four
I hours, during which time she remained
lin a stupor When she recovered con-
seriousness her first words were that she
wanted to die and she further said that
she would end her life at some other
time. 1t is said that the girl
had been melancholy for some
time. Miss Bruins is an attractive
young girl and we'll known in the city.

Fenley Mines SuSpendS.

Fenley coal mines, situated three
miles back of Lewisport, this county,
suspended operations on September 80,
and the little force that is necessary to
do so is engaged in cleaning up" pre-
paratory to abandoning the place by
its operators. This action was taken
because of the fact that the railway
track on the spur out from Lewisport
was in bad condition, and to improve
it would cost more than the mine op-
orators thought they could afford to
put into the venture.
Messrs. E. G.. Gregory and Thomas
Blackmore, who have been in charge
of the property for some time, will
leave, the latter going probably to
Pineville. The property is owned by
the Auburn Ash Coal Co., a corpora
ton composed of Louisville business
people, and while they are not iden-
tical with those back of the 'Hender-
son Route" it is known that strong
personal and friendly relations exist
between them.
The Messrs. Miller, of greensboro, it
will be remembered, had a lease on
this property and ran it until some
time ago, when it was given up as a
venture that was not financially sue
cessful. However, most of the output
from the mines has been consumed by
the Henderson Route and in this
way the mines have been operated
longer than they probably would have
been otherwise. Hancock Clarion.
Mr.. Miller and son, Hewitt, of Ow-
ensboro, were here Saturday the guests
of Mr.. b. S. Miller.

Encouraging Price For Tobacco.

Mr.. J. E. Minnett was notified yes
terday by officials of the Louisville
Warehouse Co., that a sale of ffty-five
hogsheads of pooled Hancock county
tobacco of the year 1905 had been made
for the magnificent price of $11.O0 per
hundred. This was the price asked by
the poolers, and the result is very
pleasing to all concerned. This is en-
couraging in the tobacco fight, and
should be a stimulus to those hesitating
ones to quickly sign the 1907 pooling
pledges. Hancock Clarion.

fourth time during the past seven
years Caleb Powers, one of the men
acc used Of having been implicated in
the assassination of William Goebel at
Frankfort when he was about to be
seated as governor in 1900, is placed on

judge oc the court OF appeals, ruled
that Judge James C. Cantrell should
have vacated the bench before the
second trial, after having been OBJ
jected to, will call the case. Powers
has prepared an affidavit in which he
objects to being tried again by Rob-
bins, claiming that he was unfair in
his rulings at the previous trial, and
this affidavit will be offered at the
opening of court.
Should the Judge refuse to vacate the
bench the pardon of w. S. Taylor, is
sued to Powers while he was still gov
ernor. will be offered with a motion
that Powers be released from custody.
The attorneys believe that this pardon
is good, and will take the case to the
supreme court if possible to have it
declared valid. r1-
