dent Robert s. Lovitt of the Southern

with sufficient prospect OF final con-
summation to warrant the statement

shotS were fired in the vicinity of mine

Watchers soon afterwards reported
that the Benld miners were marching
on the town. When on the outskirts
of Gillespie the marchers turned and
went to mine No. 1. They apparently
were surprised when none of the en-

WANTS Her ALIMONY.
AmeIie Rieves Claims $4,000 a Year
From First Husband.

New York, March 21.-Supreme
Court Justice Guy has appointed Geo.
M. MacKeller as referee to take tes-
timony on the application of Princess
Troubetskoy for $3,6 annual income
in lieu of alimony from her former
husband, John Armstrong Chaloner.
The princess was Amelie Rives, the
novelist, and divorced Chaloner, then
known as Chanler, in 1895.
The application was not opposed by
Chaloner nor any of his relatives.
Chaloner, under the laws of this state,
is an incompetent, but has been de-
clared sane by the courts of Virginia,
where he now resides.
Princess Troubetskoy, in her appi-
cation, says her former husband has
an estate of 100000 and an annual
income of $4,000. She says Chaloner
promised to give her an income of
$3,600 for life and offered a letter
from Chaloner in support of this.

THREE BANKS CAUGHT
By the Failure of the Perry C. Smith
Grain Co.

Kansas City, Mo, March 21.-It has
developed that liabilities of the Perry
C. Smith Grain company, which failed
Saturday, will be $25O,0O0. The as
sets of the firm are estimated at $780,
900. Three banks in Kansas City
are said to have been caught. One
holds elevator receipts to secure $780,
900, another for $4,000 and a third
for $4,000. These banks, while they
hold receipts of an Elevator company
for wheat in store, are confronted
with the information that there is a
question as to the ownership of the
grain. 1t appears that the Smith
company shipped a great quantity of
wheat out of the elevator, and when
the elevator company began Weighing
up, it did not have enough wheat own
ed by the company to offset the re-
ceipts held by the bank.

VOTE TO CLOSE ROAD.
John d. Rockefeller Is Being Annoyed
by Automobiles.

Tarrytown, N Y, March 21.@The
paramount issue of the campaign for
the election of a board of supervisors
fol Tarrytown, which will be decided
at the polls here today. is whether or
not Webber Road shall be closed Of
ficially and the traffic diverted to
Bedford road.
John D. Rockefeller wants this
done, so that he will not be annoyed
by the chugging of automobiles. Re-
Gently the board gave him permission
to put up signs directing automobiles
to take the Bedford road, but this was
moi mandatory and anybody who
chose to drive over Webber road, had
the right to do so. The 'rRockefelIer
vote which includes a considerable
number of employees and tenants can
very nearly carry an election against
the rest of the town.

WINDS DELAY TRAINS.
Car of Pig Iron Tossed Across Tracks
by the Gale.

Greenwich. Conn, March 21.-Traffic
on two tracks of the New Haven rail-
road here was delayed a considerable
part of the past "a hours by the ecceh-
trio action of a March wind which
swept down on the village late yester-
day, carrying havoc in its wake. At
the railroad yards, it selected a freight
car loaded with pig iron as its target.
The car, standing on a slightly eleva-
ted siding, was picked up bodily by
joining tracks. It's cargo was scatter
ed in every direction and railroad en-
ployees were busy for several hours
picking up the wreckage and repairing
the damage.

REAL SPRING WEATHER.
Showers and Unsettled Conditions in
Kansas.

This is the first day of spring. and
the atmosphere is warm and sultry.
Up to 2 o'clock there had been a
trace of rain and according to the gov
ernment weather observer, the condi-
tions are just right for light showers
and the first one came just before 2
p. m. The thermometer, he says, will
take a drop tonight and will stand at
about 40 degrees in the early morning.
Seventy-three degrees was the high
est mark reached today, and while
this is 19 degrees above normal for
this date it comes a long way from
coming up to the record of four years
ago today-91 degrees. The wind is
blowing 12 miles an hour from the
southwest.

INTRODUCTORY

A movement was started in 1910 to
erect markers at different points IN the
County Of Jefferson, where skirmishes
or battles took place. Through the
liberality Of the people of the County.
aided by large contribution from the
jefferson County Camp, No, 12s, the
money was raised, and the markers,
twenty five in number, erected. It
was also thought best to have history
of each sltirmish or battle fought at or
near the several markers, and for that
purpose a booklet was gotten up. in
order to perpetnate the memory of the
gallant deeds of the officers and men
engaged.
Continued from last week.
