Old Dan Cupid had Hendersonville
last week when Mr.. G. e. Brooks roll
ed in with his Florida bride just in
time to see the papers signed in wit
ness of the marriage of his daughter,
Miss Lucy Brooks, to Mr.. r. ]. Alder

Mr.. Brooks knew that the wedding
was to take place and he was ende9v-
cring to reach the city in the machine
in which he and Mrs. Brooks had tour
ed Florida and come to Henderson
v: lie, but they were a little late and
Dan Cupid was taking no risks by
waiting, hence Rev. K. w. Cawthon,
pastor of the First Baptist church, tied
the knot and Mr.. and Mrs. Alderman
lust after the ceremony at 8 O'Clock
motored to Asheville. They declined
to where they would go from
Asheville to spend their honeymoon or
when they would return.
Except to his immediate family Mr..
Brooks had not announced his 1nten-
tions and the same secrecy applied I'd

daughter, but movements had aroused
suspicion. Mr.. Brooks had sons

that he was unusually accommodating
and generous. Few people thought
and fewer knew anything for a Ger

RESC|NDS ORDER
ON C|TY'S PLEA
Members Hold Murphy Order
Applicable Only to Liberty
and New Paris-Order
Plant Inventories.

The city of Richmond won a
decisive victory today in anoth-
er tilt with the Richmond Light,
Heat and Power company when
Commissioners Clark, Murphy,
Edwards and Duncan Of the In
diana Public Utilities Commits
sion, ruled that the wholesale
rates recently provided for the
Richmond Light, Heat and
Power company could not be ap-
piled to Richmond, and were ap-
plicable only to the Liberty
Light and Power company and
a New Paris, o., concern which
purchased current from the To-
cal Independent company.
Saturday. Mr.. Murphy, who wrote
the order, declared it was applicable
to Richmond because there would be
discrimination if only the Liberty and
New Paris companies were beneficiar-
les of the order The way the order
Mr.. Murphy wrote was worded would
also indicate that it was applicable to
Richmond, so the commission has ap-
parently overruled Mr.. Murphy.
Board Orders inventory.
The commission today also ordered
both local plants to file with it inven-
tories of their property within fifteen
days and further announced that en-
gineers of the commission would ap-
praise the valuations Of the two plants
without further delay and that after
this had been done joint power and
lighting rates for the two plants would
be formulated by the commission.
So confident were the officials of
the Light, Heat & Power company
that the rates provided in the Muir
ply order were applicable to Rich
mond that they offered them to var
ious large power consumers in this
city and entered into contracts with
four of them. These contracts are
now null and void and the rates estab-
lished last summer for both plants
will remain in effect until formula
tion of the rates determined after val
uation Of the plants.
The L. II. & P. was represented by
Wilfred Jessup, n. H. Johnson and

and Mr. Selig of New York at the
hearing today. The city was repre-
sented by w. A. Bond and Clarence
