Whether Other Stockholders Besides
Marsh Are Involved,
Seems to be the
Question.

Marsh and his company who pro.
NOTED the railroad from Quincy to
Warsaw, are made defendants In q
suit for $4,000 filed here yesterday
afternoon by E. A. Clifford, the con-
tractor who built part Of the grade
near Bear Greek. The fling of the
suit comes as great surprise to peo-
pie along the proposed route. who
had set high hopes on the project and
believed It was thoroughly financed
and sure go. ~
The bill alleges that the company
owes Clifford $4,000 balance for his
work, which the company has failed
to pay. and from the array OF legal
talent in the case it is evident that II
it comes to trial there Will be battle
royal, as the suit was filed by VIII
liam II. Hartzell Of this city, one Of
the most prominent and successful at
torneys in Illinois, and r. o. Marsh

also that the Quincy stockholders will
be represented by prominent Quincy
lawyers.

Clifford Biz Contractor.

Clifford is from Kansas City. Mo-,
and large contractor. Just now he
is doing some grading for a railroad
at Junction City, Colo, and he IS
known all over the country as rail-
road builder. When Dick Marsh and
his company got to the place where
they could start construction work,
Clifford, being the successful bidder,
brought large force and much equip
ment to the Bear Creek vicinity and
worked several months, last year, on
the job of building a grade, and COM
pleted quite stretch Of it in a very
satisfactory manner, so far as the
public could judge by looking at it.
When the business world began to
tighten up on finances, this road felt
the pinch. although it had been an
nounced, that it was thoroughly finan-
ced bv eastern capitalists. For time
there was talk of French capitalists
furnishing the money, but the ap-
proach of the European cataclysm per-
hans made this out of the question.
Says Merely a Suspension. &.
Dick Marsh has since explained that
the eastern capitalists suspended
their support of the road on account
of the business scare and that as
soon as financial conditions in the
country got easier, this support would
be renewed and the construction
work would be taken up again. In
this hope people along the line have
rested. and the suit filed yesterday
evening is the next public move.
1t is said that Dick Marsh is the
only one Of the seven stockholders
who has thus far put up any real
money. ana that all that has been
spent on the line has come out of his
pocket. 1t is held, however, that all
of the members of the corporation are
liable in this court action and they
are all made co-defendants il the bill.

days a bishop had to be good fighter
besides being good churchman The
stone that MacCarthy kissed is now
called the Blarney Stone"
Cormack MacCarthy built Castle
Barney in County Cork One day. a
little while after he had finished it. he
was walking along when he happened
to see an old woman drowning in a
stream. Being both courteous and
a brave man, he Immediately plunged
IN, and after many struggles rescued
her. The old woman blessed her res
cuer and promised that. for a reward,
she would bestow upon him tongue
of such eloquence that he could influ-
ence friends and enemies.
But there was only one way to OBJ
tain this gift. He must climb to the
top of his castle and kiss stone in
the wall there MacCarthy followed

long time by persuasion and promise
the surrender of the castle to the lord
president 1t is said that even to this
day whoever climbs to the top of the
castle and kisses the stone will re-
ceive the gift of golden speech.
Many people now go to kiss the
Blarney stone. One time a young
American visited Castle Barney, and
was very enthusiastic about kissing
the stone He leaned over the square
opening; but just then he got look
at the ground, 40 feet below. He
suddenly decided that this business of
kissing the Barney stone was only a
silly superstition, and was not worth
the trouble anyway.
One of the legends that cling about
the ruins of Barney is that in the
pastures near the castle ghostly cattle
fight at night with the present posses
sors of the fields. 1t is also reported
that in the summer fairies dance on
the grass all night.
Castle Blarney's fame has been in
creased by Richard Mileikin's song.
1.-THE Groves of Barney" written in
1898 Francis s. Mahoney. known as
Father Prout, added the following
lines, which have carried the legend
of the Blarney stone around the
world:
There is a stone there,
That whoever kisses,
Oh, he never misses
To grow eloquent.
IT'S he may Chamber
To lady's chamber
Or become q member
OF sweet Parliament
A clever spouter
He'll sure turn out, or
An out and outer,
To be let aloneI
Don't hope to hinder him,
Or to bewilder him,
Sure he's a pilgrim.
