hymns. Mrs. Craigie and others also
objected to boys brigades as adjuncts

she and the former senator had then
discussed the matter and Miss Ashford
referred to the publicity which had been
given the subject and to the determined
opposition of some of the members Of
Mr.. Davis family to the proposed mar
riage. She said that she had no desire
to estrange the senator at his age from
his family.
For these reasons she did not care to
have the engagement continued. Mr.,
Davis declined to be interviewed, saying
he had no purpose of making any news
paper statements on the subject.
The announcement came as a surprise
to Washington society. Miss Ashford
has been Mr.. DAVIS secretary for years.

SCRAPPY COUNT PUNISHED FOR
PUNCHING COUSIN.
Prince Helie, Other Combatant, Is Award
ed 20 Cents Damages by
French Court.

PARIS, Feb. 11-Count Boni de Castel-
lane, the divorced husband of Anna
Gould of New York, was today found
guilty by the correctional court of Grim
inal assault and battery on Prince Helie
de Sagan, his cousin, and fined $50. The
prince was awarded 20 cents damages.
How Trouble Started.
The encounter between Count Boni de
Castellane and Prince de Sagan which
resulted in the prince preferring charges
against his cousin took place January Z
in front of the church of st. Pierre de
Chaillot, where a special memorial serv-
ice had been celebrated in memory OF
Lady Stanley Errington, a relative OF
both of the fighters. The service had
just ended and Count Boni and Prince
Helie met on the steps. Words were ex-
changed and then the two men came to
blows, and Count Boni swore at his
cousin and spat in his face.
Jean Was Dismissed.
The Prince de Sagan took the matter
to court nd made charges against Count
Boni de Castellane and his brother,
Count Jean. The charges against Count
Jean was dismissed.
The cause of the fight is said to have
been because Prince Helie was paying
attention to Nine. Gould, and this is
supposed to have provoked Count Bonn
to the assault.

BRIDGE TRUST
WINS IN COURT
INDICTMENTS KNOCKED OUT ON
GROUNDS OF DUPLICITY AND
INDEBTEDNESS.
FOUGHT CASE STUBBORNLY.
Decision Holds That Law Makes Each
Days Violation Separate
Offense.
THREE PAID FINES LAST YEAR.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 1.-THE su-
preme court caused sensation here to-
day when it knocked out all of the in
dictments against the bridge trust.
The indictments which were brought
in Erie county and charged violation OF
the antitrust laws, were held to be de-
fective by the supreme court in affirming
the decision of the Erie county circuit
court in the Hughes and Webster cases.
The indictments are held to be illegal
on the grounds of duplicity and indeh-
niteness in that many simply charge that
the parties were engaged in a conspiracy
in restraint of trade in March, 1903, to
March, 1906, without stating definite
times of violation of the antitrust laws
and becaues the laws make each day S
violation a separate offense and hence
the basis of a separate Indictment.
Indicted a Year Ago.
The King Bridge company, the Was
silon Bridge company, Bellefontaine
Bridge and Iron company, Variety Iron
Works company, Mount Vernon Bridge
company of Columbus, Bracket Bridge
company, and the Canton Bridge com
pany, were indicted in March, 1906, in
Erie county, on a charge of engaging Of
trust conspiracy from March 10, 1908,
to March g. 1906.
Three Pay Fines.
The common pleas court overruled all
motions to quash the indictments and
all the defendants were convicted. Their
cases were carried to the circuit court
and later Hammond, the Canton Bridge
company and the Massillon Bridge com
pany withdrew their petitions in error
and paid the fines imposed. The circuit
court reversed the convictions i'll the
common pleas court, and the case was
then taken to the supreme court.

KENTUCKY BLAZE.

MIDWAY, KY, Aug 6-This
town, half way between Lexington
and Frankfort, was the scene of a
fire that for a time threatened the
town with destruction last night. The
fire, which is believed to have been
of incendiary origin destroyed five
warehouses of the S. j. Greenbaum
distilling company entailing loss es-
timated at 100000. The amount Of
insurance is not known but it is be-
lieved the loss is amply covered. The
flames, caused by the burning Of the
47,000 barrels of whisky which turned
creek nearby into fiery stream,
could be seen for ten miles. The
flames, as they coursed down the sur
face Of the creek destroyed the South
ern railroad trestle and half dozen
negro cabins.

! NEW YORK, Aug. o.--It is learn
ed from friends OF Mrs, Russell Sage
that she is thinking seriously OF pur-
chasing Constitutional Island in the
upper Hudson opposite West Point
and presenting it to the United States
government as a site on which TO err
ect the worlds greatest military pre-
paratory school, a school that will be
to West Point what Eton is to Ok
ford and Lawrenceville is to Prince
ton.
She is very much in earnest about
this project. She will send a repre-
sentative to West Point within few
days to look into the matter and put
her in possession of all the facts con
cerning Constitutional island. the at
titude OF the West Point authorities
toward the idea and whether con-
gress is likely to give its sanction in
the event of Mrs. Sage obtaining title
to the property. Mrs. Sage would like
to give to West Point a preparatory
school, it is said, where boys, partic-
ularly those from remote places
where the public schools are not the
best, can receive the preparatory edu-
cation necessary to pass the rigid ex-
animation required OF all candidates
for cadetships at the United States
academy In recent years
the percentage of cadets who have
been lost TO the army as a result of
their inability to pass the West Point
entrance examinations has been very
large particularly in the mathematical
branches. 1t is to remedy this that
Col. Scott, Superintendent at West
Point and the higher officials of the
war department are anxious to ac-
quire Constitutional island and utilize
it for training school for West
Point cadets. President Roosevelt is
said to be in favor of the plan to es
tablish such school and it is certain
that even if Mrs. Sage does not pre-
sent the island to the government a
determined effort will be made in the
next congress to get an appropriate
on.
Whether Mrs. Sage is considerating
also the advisability of giving the mo-
ney with which to build such a school
the friend who told of the Constitu-
tional island plan said he did not
know.

just been performed successfully by
Harlem hospital surgeons. II was a
Plan resorted 70 after usual methods
had tailed and when the case seemed
10 be hopeless. Now the limb oper-
ated upon is as sound as ever II was.
Charles Nelson, Is years old, was
injured in car wreck. He sus-
tanned severe fracture, which caused
one bone to lap over another. He
was taken to the Harlem hospital and
the arm put in splint but the bones
did not set Thereupon the surgeons
resolved upon the novel method OF
treatment. The lad was put under the
influence OF ether, and an incision
was made in the arm just above the
wrist joint What is called the shaft
OF the bone was pried open and the
two overlapping bones were set to-
gether. Meanwhile steel nail about
an inch and half long had been
carefully sterilized and medieatcd. A
vice OF cotton and other material was
made for the arm and with an ordi-
nary hammer the nail was driven in
to the arm, piecing both bones in
much the same fashion as two boards
wouh be fastened together The
splints were then replaced.
Nelson returned to the hospital
yesterday and it was found that his
arm was as strong as it had been be-
fore the accident. A few minutes
later the boy was playing ball in the
