ROUGH ON THE MOM.

A Judgment. For One million of Dollars Rendered Against the Road.

A press dispatch from Cincinnati last night says: "In the United States Court of Appeals to-day a decision was handed down holding that the Monon railroad's indorsement of the Richmond, Nicholasvillc: & Irvine railroad's bonds, to the amount of §050,000, is valid. These bonds were issued for the construction of the road from Richmond to Beattyville. When the Southern passed under the control of the Monon, the L., N. A. & C. indorsed the bonds to the amount of a million dollars. Of this issue only §550,000 are outstanding, and those, with the unpaid coupons, represent about S1,000,000. There were four different suits brought to test the validity of these bonds: The Louisville Trust Company, represented by St. John Boyle, the Kentucky National Bank,-by Humphrey & Davie, Dillingham and others, by Noble & Shirley. The contention of the bondholders was sustained by the court in these three cases. There are other bonds of similar character on somewhat different basis, of these the Kentucky National held three and the Louisville Banking Company about twenty. This special series was declared void, as they were not in the hands of the bona fide holders. They are held to be good, provided they can reach any property in tha State of Kentucky. As stated, the amount involved, principal and interest, is about 51,000,000. The bonds that failed are comparatively a small proportion of the number involved. The decision is a complete victory of the Louisville interests. There is some speculation as to the effect of the decision upon the future of the Monon. The decision calls for SI,000,000. The

Monon has not the money and it is not easy to get in times like these. Either it will have to raise the amount or effect a compromise."

Tenth Auuivorsery,

Sunday being the tenth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Childers, quite a number of relatives and friends gathered at their pleasant home in Whitesville to belebrate the same. About 9 o'clock friends began to gather with well filled baskets and by the noon hour the number swelled to 109. The lady friends prepared the, dinner of everything that was good until the table fairly groaned under its weight. The table was long enough to accommodate fifty-eight at once. After dinner there was some fine music by Mrs. Dr. Price, of Ladogo, and Mrs. George Harshbarger, on the organ, Mr. Will Luster accompanying on the violin. There was also some fine music on the guitar and mandolin. Mr. and Mrs. Childers received forty pieces of tinware, one nice bed spread, and a jelly stand. As the sun began to set in the west the guests began to depart, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Childers many more such pleasant anniversaries. The day will long be remembered.

ONE WHO WAS THERE.

-A Happy Marriage. .*€

Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Cora Williams, of 209 west Market street, occurred the marriage of Miss Urba Williams and Mr. L. W. Ellis, of Waynetown. The home was prettily decorated with flowers and ferns and about twenty-fire relatives and intimate friendB were present. The wedding was a beautifully simple one and was performed by Dr. E. B. Thomson. The bride wore a handsome gray traveling dress and carried brides' roses. After the service a sumptuous collation was served and the happy couple left on the evening train for Benton Harbor, Mich. Upon their return they will be at home to their friends in a handsome new residence erected by the groom in Waynetown. Mr. Ellis is agent of the Big Four railroad there and is a very popular gentleman. His bride is an accomplished musician and a lady highly qualified and endowed with all the graces and virtues.

Sneak Thieves at New Bou.

New Ross was the scene of a cruel invasion of "gentlemen of leisure" last Monday. They went to the Big Four station to look for some freight, etc., and not finding the agent on duty they concluded to see if the combination on the money drawer waB in working order. They succeeded in getting into the office, and on opening the drawer were sadly disappointed at not finding any souvenir half dollars, as that's what they were looking for. They then proceeded down town and passing through the butcher shop of Wm. Johnston they took 22 cents and escaped through the rear door. The thieves are no longer to be seen and no doubt have gone to join the band of hobos in the sweet bye and bye.
