COMPROMISED.

The Suit. Over the Basil Tracey Estate Oomes to a Sudden Ecdiug. The attorneys aud witnesses iu the suit of Peiree et al. vs. Mills et R1. returned from Frankfort Inst night, the case having been adjusted there during the day by a compromise. Tuesday was occupied with the opening speeches by A. B. Anderson and Jere West and the introduction of testimony, but yesterday morniug the members of the family got together through their attorneys and agreed to compromise.

It was claimed by the plaintiffs that T. J. Mills and wife had UBed undue influence with old Bazil Tracey in getting him to sell them a large tract of land, and suit was brought to set aside the conveyance. At the time this conveyance was made Mills executed his notes to Bazil Tracy for the purchase price of the land, being §11,400. These notes were afterwards transferred to Thomas Tracy and Lydia Pierce. Old Mr. Tracey died and as argu ments wuxed WRrm and family feeling high, the defendants filed $20,000 libel suit against the plaintiffs for making their charges of undue in fluence. To this suit T. H. B. McCain, of

THE JOURNAL,

was made a party for

having published the allegations of the complaint back in the spring of '91. The suit for setting aside the conveyance naturally came up first and its compromise does away with the libel suits. By the terms of the compromise the plaintiffs received 87,000 to be paid by Thomas Tracey and Lydia Pierce out of the notes which they had received the title to the real estate was quieted in Thomas J. Mills, and finding that BazilTracey was a person of sound mind at the time he made the transfers, and to settle with the several heirs of Tracey who were defendants in the conveyance suit. This settlement required an expenditure of S600, leaving the plaintiffs $7,000 even. The libel suits were dismissed at the plaintiffs' cost and all matters and d:sputes amicably and peacefully adjusted, all retiring from the suit with the best of feeling. Had the con veyancesuit continued it would have required all this week to have introduced the testimony and would have run up an appalling bill of costs. All parties are to be congratulated on the outcome of the affair.

A Costly Water Set,

Oat ut the school house southwest of New Ross an entertainment was given for a reading circle fund. A feature of the evening was the voting of a water set to the prettiest girl present. There were plenty of pretty girls there but finally the contest was narrowed down to a question between the beauty of Miss Dora Conner and that of Miss Markley. Both are beautiful young ladies and when the beauty of the one was pitted against the beauty of the other it meant that the victory depend ed only on the relative depths of their worshippers' pocket books. The ticket 6eller was soon floundering helplessly amid a seething mass cf howling customers, as, indeed, Barnum'e great ticket seller would have been, and he wiis finally forced to deputize two or three old mnidp, who had no interest in the contest, to act as assistants. They too were deluged for awhile but finally the crowd began to drop olf. The boys were going broke and only the very flush were in the ring when the deputy ticket sellers were dismissed. Finally every one was out of cash except the management and the excited electors began putting up watches, khives, r? volvers and other little trinkets for the much coveted tickets. Some went so far as to offer up their hats aud artic overshoes and one gallant adirirer of

Miss Conner threw his overcoat upon the sacrificial pile. The turmoil con tinued and was only stopped by the election board closing the polls and withdrawing to canvass the returns. After an hour of suspense it was nn nounced that Miss Markley had won by a majority of two tickets, one revolver, a Bilver plated corkscrew, a bottle of hair oil and a pair of embroidered SUB penders. Besides the plunder in the way of apparel, etc., the entertainment netted the reading eirclo fund a bonus of 853 11. Miss Conner's friends will file articles of contest.

route. was about "corn-shucking

time" that Hubbard Little, the strapping young here of the romance, began to Biddle up to Miss Lily Braxton, the

bsanty of that school belle of every taffy pulling or kissing bje. Lily's r. Sections were won by the redoubtable Hubbard in spite ot the jealous rivals, anonymous letters and all the other ills that the lover is heir to. The plump and vivacious darling was all his own, and her father, the venerable Jim Braxton, smiled constant. He was quite proud of his prospective son-in-law and eulogized him alike at church and at the top of the dried apple barrel at the cross roads store. But things change. Prospective father-in-law and prospective son-in-son went hunting together about a month ago and before they returned were sworn deadly enemies. Had not each of them been so jealous of his reputation as a marksman, or had not the unfortunate rabbit seen fit to leap from a brush heap front of them on their homeward march, or had not both fired,, at once, or had the rabbit escaped, or had either of them yielded the palm to the other, the trouble would not have been. But the sad facts are that both were jealouB marksmen, that the rabbit did leap, that both fired simultaneously, that the rabbit was blown to bloody bits, and that both claimed the honor of being the cause of its sudden taking off. The quip modest grew into the lie direct with startling rapidity and finally Hnbbard called the progenitor of his fair

The parties are slightly "cow bitteu," perhaps, but have the necessary pluck to moke their way through thiB vale of

Lily a "lop sided old slob," whatever that means, and the venerable Jim forbade for all futurity his root to the lover of his daughter. Braxton went home, gave the history of the quarrel and clearly proved that he had killed the rabbit. He forbade Lily to speak to the upstart Little, who "couldn't hit the side of a barn." Lily acquiesced to to the paternal decree with a heavy heart but developments prove that she and Hubbard "seen" each other at an oyster supper last week and made some arrangements. Last night Lily went to call upon a neighbor and was met upon the road, strangely enough, by Hubbard and a friend in a buggy. Strangly enough Bhe climbed in and was found to have a bundle of "du^B" under her cloak. Stranger yet they concluded to drive on to Lafayette and there concluded to keep right on to Chicago where Hubbard has a brother. They intend to residq in the World's Fair town for all the time and Hubbard is said to have a "job" waiting his arrival. Meantime papa Braxton is engaged in a contract of giving a blue tingo to the atmosphere in his township.

DAMAGE TBHT IS SAD.

Our Beautiful Shade Trees Suffer fearfully To-Day. All over the city is heard lamentation and grief over the fate of the shade trees, whose minous cracking under the awful loads of ice they carry, is as sad as the moans of dying persons almost. About 10 o'clock they began to break, and all the afternoon the crashing of limbs and whole trees falling to the ground have startled and saddened alike all quBiterB of the city. Pedestrians on many streets have feared to walk on the sidewalks from fear of the constantly falling limbB.

In the groves and large yards of the city where shade trees abound, the devastation and ruin are even greater than among the shade trees on the street.

In the college campus many trees are broken down entirely and scores of others are ruined by having their limbs broken off. The beech trees suffer particularly and most of them are ruine The loss over the city to shade trees alone amounts to thousands of dollars The college campus presents a deplorable condition and will never again look like its former self.

Bowers, of Fincastle,

Less than a year ago Charley Bowere, who lived in the vicinity of Fincastle. Ind., wanted to become a Democratic editor man. He found a place to brinitiated into the awful mysteries in the Crawfordsville Star where in consideration of $3,000 he was given a chance. The daily Star swung into the firma inent, glaring a few months with a pale red glare aud then twinkled, twinkled out of existence. Now Mr Bowers, who is really a nice young man, having been thoroughly initiated, has sold his half interest in the Weekly Star back to the original owner, Jere M. Keeney, Jr., for 82,000 and quietly retires. For his summer's fun he has paid a very fair price.—Ivockrille Republican.

:S COLLEGE BOTES.

The library roof is leaking badly and is doing damage. One of the largest and most magnifi cent trees in the campus fell this morning under the weight of ice across Grant avenue near .Teffereoj. It completely blocked the thoroughfare and prevented travel.

A local firm has a con tract on hand to construct a monster horn, not au ordinary horn blown by mortal beings and making the midnight hours hideous, but a horn worked by steam blower, made of galvanized iron, 50 feet long and 10 feet in diameter. The Stanford boys are going to have this monster horn, and they are now prt paring a petition to the governor to have the militia [detailed to protect from the wiles and machinations of the Berkleyites.

A Glorious Reunion.

The graduates ot the different Iioeloy cures, and Sutherlin Institute, who took the treatment and had the nerve to stay with a good thing when they got it, were tendered a reception at the residence of Wm. Steele, two miles south of the city, last evening. Elegant refresh ments were served and the evening passed pleasantly in social games until a late hour. About twenty-five were present. While it is true some who have taken the treatment have fallen back to their old halvt, they have no one to blame but themselves, and whero one has fallen ninety-nine have stayed by it, and are fast redeeming themselves on the ladder ot fa tne.

Seriously Injured.

G. W. L. Brown, manager of Postal Telegraph Company, while repairing a broken wire two miles east of town this afternoon, slipped and fell from a forty foot pole and sustained serious injuries. Two ribs were broken on his left side, besides reooiving several bad bruises which may lay him up for some time. Telegraph communication with the outer world is almost entirely cut off, both at the W. U. and the Postal. The damage to the companies' wires will be heavy.

A Handsome Donation.

On the first of January Louis Bischof advertised that he would make a donation of 2 per cent of ell his cash sales made during that month to the Orphan's Home Association for the benefit of that institution. January was a dull month but his sales amounted to $28,625, and to-day he handed his check to O. M. Gregg, the Secretary of the Association, for 857.25. This is certainly a handsome donation and will be appreciated by the managers of the Home.

Wires Down.

All day long telephone, fire alarm, telegraph and electric light wires have been falling over the city, broken down by the ice which clung to them. The damage in "this one thing alone will amount to a large Bum. It is the heaviest eleet fall within the recollection of the oldeBt inhabitant.
