New York April 22-(speciaD As
announced last Sunday, the Ocean
Liners, Lusitania and the Mauritania,
weighed anchor from Hoboken Pier
at 1915 a. m. today on tour of the
orient or voyage of the sea" with
members of the Presbyterian Sunday
shool on board.
The trip from Marion TO New York
was made via the Erie, stopping
only at one or two stations where
recruits were taken on board the
train and which arrived at the
great metropolis on time.
Fifteen minutes before time for
departure clearance papers were
made up by General Passenger Agent.
Bryant, and an examination Of these
papers revealed the fact the Mauri-
tania had 1876 passengers and the
Lusitania's list showed only Hi-2l
less than the Mauritania. conse-
quenuy this vessel Captain Lust's
ship was in advance Of the Lusi-
tania q points.
BY next Sunday the steamers will
have reached London and 1t Is the
hope of all on board that no accident
may overtake the vessels, but that
both may cast anchor safe in har-
Dor with the morning shining clear
A sad feature in connection with
the tour is the fact that shortly af
ter the tourists left Marion one o.

Sheeran & Company Gain Case.

On November the first, 1911, the
Court of Appeals at Frankfort, reversed
the Judgment rendered in the action of
p. Sheeran & Co., versus Russell 81
Hutchinson. Judgement had been
rendered in the lower court against
Siberian & Co. for the sum of S i, 9S7. pr
on account of alleged violation of con-
tract to deliver a certain number of
slaves. The lower court in rendering
its judgment held that approximately
Is, 600 slaves which were barrel slaves
and had been classed by Russell &
Hutchinson as eighths, or pony slaves,
and had been paid for by them as such,
and allowed Sheeran & Co. credit on
the damages which the lower court
held Russell & Hutchinson had stain
ed by the difference in the value of said
slaves as barrel slaves and as paid for
as Fights. in the sum of 5000. The
lower court held that the misclassifca-
ton of said slaves was mere mistake
of judgement on the part of the in
spectors of Russell & Hutchinson, hence,
held Sheeran & Co. liable for failure to
deliver the slaves as contracted.
The Court of Appeals refused to ac-
cept the dissatisfaction of said slaves
as a mistake of judgement, hence re-
versed the judgement and remanded
the case back for trial in the lower
court, directing that jury should de.

r. Wimp will be sorry to learn of the
death on Saturday, Nov. 9Th, of "Nat",
the faithful carriage horse that for
many years has been a most familiar
figure to every public gathering in the
community. So accustom was he to
coming to church that he was known
to have started alone hitched to the
carriage and without guidance to have
wendell his way to the usual hitching
post in front of the Baptist church at
Irvington. Nat was foaled May q, 1889

Enron. He was never owned outside
of the Wimp family having been broken
to use by Mr.. Ephriam Wimp, who
used him as carriage and saddle horse
until the time of his death several years
since, when Nat was bequeathed to Mr..
and Mrs. Jno. r. Wimp.
