HANCOCK COUNTY GETS
IN LINE FOR G00O ROADS
County Judge Settled Tie Vote
OF Magistrates Money
Saving Movement.

Huntsville. KY. Feb. 19.-The
Hancock County Fiscal Court to-day
voted in favor of making an ap-
preparation for roads and of asking
State aid. The county has but four
Magistrates, and two are Republic
ans and two Democrats, and when
the first vote was taken one Repub-
lican and one Democrat favored the
proposition. This put it up to Coun-
ty Judge w. w. Taber. and he cast
his vote for the building of good
roads.
The county is in debt few
thousand dollars and two of the
Magistrates favored getting out of
debt before launching into perma-
nent road building. but now that
the proposition has carried they
will lend their hearty support. The
final decision was fastened by the
argument of Road Engineer Francis
Friel, who recently came home from
tiit i<NAihStOh pNHOOi vi AOad III
struction full of enthusiasm. He
pointed out the advantages and
economy of macadam roads, and al
so showed that If the county did not
take advantage of the offer of State
aid that it would be contributing 8
per cent. OF its taxes to other coun-
ties, without getting anything in
return.
Several roads lead to Hawesville,
the county seat, and the people liv-
ing along them will be asked to
contribute. and the road on which
the best subscriptions are recaised
will get the first permanent, wosk.
The county now has no rock roads.

under State aid will be SO satisfac-
tory that other roads will be built

AMERICAN STEAMER IS
SUNK BY MINE IN SEA
Captain and the Grew Saved
Nationality OF the Mine
Is Not Known.

Bremen, Feb. 2 tvia London, y
The American steamer Evelyn
which sailed from New York on
January 80 with a cargo of cotton
for Bremen, struck mine yester-
day off Borkum Island. in the North
Sea. The vessel sank. Her captain
and twenty-seven of her crew were
saved. The nationality of the mine
which destroyed the Evelyn has not
been established.
The Evelyn is the first American
vessel to meet disaster as the result
OF the sea warfare of the European
nations. She did not sink within the
war zone included in the German
Admiralty's decree of February 4,
which went into effect on Thursday.
Borkum Island lies directly off the
German coast. at the mouth of Ems
river, and is German territory.
Maratime records give the COM
plement of theEvelyn at twenty-five
men. so that it is probable that all
on board the vessel were rescued.
The Evelyn was a single screw
steel steamship and was commanded
by Capt William Smith. She be-
longed to the Harris-Irby Cotton
Company. of New York. She was
252 feet long andl 1885 tons net. She
was built in Southampton, England,
in 1888. Her home port was Phil
