stratheona's Romantic Marriage.

The marriage OF Lord Strathcona was
a romance. He met the lady when he
was Twenty-Five and living on the
coast of Labrador. She was widow
and had a little son. There was no
priest or church within 1000 miles and
the marriage was simple contract
without ceremony. 1t was for this
reason that when the high commission
er became a peer in 1897 remarriage
was held to be necessary and it was
solemnized with the full ritual OF the
Church of England The Labrador
marriage was. however, ratified by
special act of parliament-London Tat

Struck by Lightning.


During the thunder storm of Sun
day last at this place the store of
Messrs. j. Capser & Co., was struck
by lightning. The electric current pas
sed down the chimney to the second
story Of the building where there was
a stovepipe running into the former,
when it divided, part of it going down
the wall to the lower floor, tearing
everything to pieces in its course, and
thence to the ground. The other por-
ton ran down the stovepipe breaking
the stove, thence through the floor
and the whole length of the ceiling,
down the front of the building and
across the sidewalk into the ground.
Henry, Mr.. Capser's little son, was
standing within two or three inches
of where the current passed through
the floor He told his father there
was fire on his leg, but upon examin-
alton he was found to be unhurt. The
little fellow had a narrow escape as in
fact had all the inmates of the house.
1t seems almost miraculous that none
were hurt. A lot Of clocks that stood
in the back part of the store were
roughly handled and all the time
knocked out of them. The damage to
the building and the goods amounts
to $500. Carpenters and brick ma.
sons were sas to work Monday morn
ing to repair the damage and but
few traces are now left of the work OF
the lightning.

Farmers are making preparations
for harvest, and Judging from the

there will be a good deal of grain TO
be harvested this year. Dealers in
agricultural machinery are kept busy
delivering machines, and the clatter
of the reaper can be heard at almost
any hour of the day.

GROCER SUES sALooNlsT.

Through his attorneys, Talbot e
Whitley, Mr.. Chas. P. Cook, the Main
Street grocer, filed suit in the Bour-
bon Circuit Court late Saturday after
noon against Mr.. Thos. F. BrannOn,
who conducts a saloon few doors
below Mr.. Cooks place of business,
asking damages in the sum of $4,000
for alleged assault and battery
The petition charges that ION the
day of -, 1914, the defendant, T. F.
Brannon, wantonly and maliciously as
saulted, beat and bruised the plaintiff,
Cook, about the head and face with
his fists and kicked him in the back
with his foot after he was down, there
by injuring the plaintiff about his head
and back, that by reason of his said
injuries he has suffered great pain and
mental anguish to the plaintiffs dam
age in the sum of $4,000"
| The suit is the result of an assault
made by Mr. Brannon upon Mr.. Cook
| last spring, after Mr.. Cook had testi-
| fed before the grand jury about an
alleged nuisance which the grand jury
was investigating. After the assault
Judge Stout issued a rule against Mr.
Brannon for contempt of court in as
saulting a witness, and on trial OF
this rule before a jury, Mr.. Brannon
was fined $1,000 and given jail sen
tence of six months. He took an ap
peal from this verdict to the Court Of
Appeals, and the case is now pending
a hearing.

NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS
OPPOSE TAX ON PAPERS,

Newspaper publishers generally are
preparing to ask the Senate to change
that portion of the House War Reeve
nue. Bill providing for stamp on the
bills of lading on all packages so that
it will not be necessary to attach bills
of lading to bundles of newspapers.
The newspaper owners do not OBJ
ject to paying the tax, but regard the
method of levying it as impracticable.
They contend that neither the rail
roads nor other transportation COM
panies will hold their cars until news
paper packages are checked, stamped
and receipted for.
The newspaper publishers who have
inquired into the effect of that section
of the bill as passed by the House re,
curing bills of lading, manifests and
receipts with stamps attached in con
nection with the shipment of news
papers, believe that very serious de
lays in delivery will result.
Instead of this system of stamped
bills of lading, the newspaper publish
ers, for example, suggest that a tax
could be imposed on the basis Of
sworn circulation.

SUIT TO BE BROUGHT
AGAINST BANK STOCKHOLDERS.

From authOritive sources it has
been learned that suit will be filed
in the Bourbon Circuit Court in the
Office of the Circuit Clerk in the next
few days by State Banking Commits
sioner Thomas Smith. against the
stockholders of the defunct George
Alexander & Co. banking house to re-
ouire them to pay to Buckner Wood
ford. Receiver for the banking house,
the amount of legal liability.
On Friday last a number of the
impatient depositors of the bank
brought suit against the banking COM
missioner through Attorneys Harmon
Stitt and Talbot & Whitley to re-
ouire him to declare an immediate
martial dividend of the funds which he
has already received and is holding for
the benefit of the depositors.
The plaintiffs allege that the bank
ing commissioner has had in hand for
several months large amount of
cash with which he could pay sub
stantial dividend to the depositors
and creditors whose claims are not
disputed after setting apart enough to
nav expenses and a like dividend on
all disputed claims.
The plaintiffs allege that because of
fhe closing of the Alexander bank
money matters are close and that it
is 2 great inconvenience and loss to
fhe depositors, whose claims are not
in dispute, for their part of the cash
OH hand to be withheld from them,
and the purposeo the suit is to re-
ouire an immediate distribution of the
cash among the depositors.
The stockholders who are contest
ing the assessment have resisted it
upon the ground that the collapse OF
the bank was caused by the appear
.ance of arge number of notes given
bv Mr.. Alexander, which, while they
purported to be the obligations of the
bank. and that the bank should not be
required to stand responsible for
them. and that if this contention is
sustained the bank will still be sol
vent.
The amount or money to be real
lied by the depositors should the suit
or the banking commissioner prove
successful, may not be large, as the
greater part of the stock was owned
bv Alexander himself, and he has
already assigned all of his property to
the receiver of the bank.
Stockholders in banks are liable
under the law for double the amount
of their capital stock in the event Of
a bank failure, which would mean al
assessment of 500 upon each share Of
the stock.

SMALL SIZED CYCLONE
VISITS BOURBON COUNTY

A cyclone swept over the Millers-
burg vicinity Saturday afternoon, do
ing considerable damage to property,
but no serious property loss of loss of
life resulted.
Two tobacco barns on the Massie
farm used by Ed Wagner were un-
rooted, and the tobacco from one of
the barns was blown to the four cor
ners of the earth. The tobacco,
which was raised by George Clay, a
negro tenant, is total loss The
roof was blown from the residence OF
Thomas Wagner. Mr.. Wagner and
family were in Millersburg at the
time. Fences were blown down and
trees uprooted. Telephone service
was greatly hampered. The storm
was followed by a terrific rain, and
the streams were flooded. The storm
covered a large area extending into
Cralisle, where the greatest damage
was done.
The situation in Paris for time
seemed very threatening, but beyond
the heavy rain flooding the street, no
harm was done.
A large tobacco barn belonging to
Willard Ward on the Carlisle & Jacks
town pike, was blown down and West
falls store, in the same vicinity, was
UNDECIDED. The lines of the Carlisle
Home Telephone were blown down
and three hundred telephones put out
of commission. District Manager }
J. Veatch, of Paris, went to the scene
and aided by detachment from Paris
Carlisle and Maysville construction
lcorns soon had the service restored
to perfect working order
