Years.

Rev. John w. Venable, the retir-
ed rector of Grace Episcopal church,
died yesterday morning at four

Last October he sustained a fall
from his porch that fractured one
hip and he had been in bed ever
since, constantly growing weaker.
DR.. Venable was born March 81,
1928, in Washington, D. c., and
came to Kentucky in 1912. He en-
tered the ministry of the Episcopal
church in 1851 and served churches
in Central Kentucky for 80 years.
He removed from Versailles to this
city in 1883 and was rector of Grace
church for II years, when he retired
from active ministry, at that time
more than 70 years old. He was
married nineteen years ago to Miss
Lizzie Moore, who survives him with
one son, John w. Venable, Jr., aged
18. Two daughters by a former
marriage also survive him, Mrs.
Lizzie Mason, of California, and
Mrs. Julia WHY, of Atlanta, Ga.
DR.. Venable was a lifelong mem.

Grand Chaplain since l 3 6 8
nearly forty years, although he had
been unable to attend for severa

clining years we're spent in comfort
and happiness. He was a man OF
literary tastes and a lover of art, in
fact he was portrait painter prior
to entering the ministry.
The funeral services will be held
this afternoon from the church and
the body will be buried in Riverside

w. w. Fuqua and Miss Lucy
Handy Unite Their Des-
TIMES Tuesday Night.
VERY PRIVATE AFFAIR.
Secret Was Carefully Guard
ed by Both Parties Prom
Closest Friends.

Mr.. w. w. Fuqua and Miss Lucy
Handy were married Tuesday night
at the home Of Mr.. Robert Carter,
on East Seventeenth street, Rev.
George H. Means officiating.
This wedding was a complete sur
prise to everybody, not one of the
groom's friends being let into the
secret, and only one of brides
friends being informed as to what
was to occur, and that not until late
in the afternoon. The only witnesses
to the ceremony were Mr.. and Mrs.
Carter and their daughter, Miss Bes-
sic.
After their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Fuqua left for the home of the
groom on South Walnut street.
The bride is niece of Judge Polk
Cansler, in whose home she passed
many years when a young girl. She
is highly intelligent lady, kind
hearted and industrious and will be
a fitting helpmeet for Mr.. Fuqua.
The groom is one of the best
known men of the city and county.
He is salesman in the dry goods
establishment of Mr.. 7. M. Jones,
where he has been for fifteen or
more years. Mr.. and Mrs. Fuqua's
hosts of friends will join the Ken
tuckian in wishing for them a life
unalloyed of happiness.

Gen. Tohnson's Plan.

Frankfort, KY. Jan. 27.-In an
interview here today, Adjutant Gen
eral johnson says that the only way
to prevent the depredations and
night rider raids is for the legisla-
ture to pass law transferring the
trial of cases to distant counties and
to let the Governor appoint the
court officers.
He says that local influences are
too strong to ever secure convictions
where the raids occur.
