March .Special. Mr. and Mrs. William Bartholomew, who were married in Memphis, Tenu.. Sun day night, are expected to arrhe in this city tomorrow to make it their future place of residence. TltTc is a bit of history connected with this wedding that is decidedly out of the ordinary. Several weeks .to Joe Nicholson, formerly of Indianapolis, but now of this city, inserted an advertisement in the matrimonial column of a rowspai-er. stating that a wi. lover desired to orresio!Kl with a middle-aged widow. The object was matrimony. Time whirled by and. in the course of a v.-k Mr. Nicholson receivl-d s-vval replies, among them being one from Mrs. Krawl of Memphis. Tenn.. a handsome widow, aged about thirty-live. Photographs were exchanged, but for finis reason or other the features of Mrs. Krawl did not exactly suit the fancy of Mr. Nicholson, so he withdrew front the race fur her heart and hand, but did not forget to mention the fal that he could furnish her another gentleman cor respondent if she so desired. In due time William Bartholomew, an old soldi. r of this city, opened negotiations with the beautiful wilov Krawl. Photographs and locks of hair were exchanged and after a correspondence of only a few months she consented to marry him March 4. Inst., and the ceremony was performed on th date named. The romance came to light by accident. Whei. Mr. I lartholomew arrived in Memphis to claim his bride, he had a wedding suit and a well-tilled purse. These two articles be turned over to bis tiancee. It seems as if the procer of whom Mrs. Krawl purchased her goods was not willing to trust her to in another state and run the risk of having the money she owed him for groceries returned, so lie brought, suit on the account and got judgment for the full amount. The execution was placed in the hands of an officer and it happened that he levied on a certain trunk where Mrs. Krawl had placed her prospective groom's wedding suit and cash, and in this way the whole story leaked out . The court awarded Mr. Bartholomew Ins proiHedy and offered to tie the nuptial knot free of charge, but the lady insisted that she luol employed a preacher and a few hours later he was called in and the ceremony performed.

All Putnam county is in a furore over the proceedings of several trance preachers who have been haranguing near Mt. Hebron and are" now attempting an entrance at Fox Hidge. a suburb of (Ireencastle. One. by name laicas Martin, a prominent farmer, has entirely lost his mind and was taken to the asylum Tuesday, where he is still trying to preach. He prefers a nude condition because Jesus Christ was. nude. Another, Plla King of this city, is violently insane and remained in a trance for three days, not moving a muscle. By means of this faith cure the lame, halt, sick and blind have been healed. On? man, who has used crutches for years, is now walking as well as he ever did with out supiort. The preaching cranks are two illiterate men of Harrodsbuvg and a woman of Illinois. Tuesday evening a correspondent attended a part of a meeting which lgan at 0:C0 in the evening and closed at 7 in the morning. When the meeting had been opened with song and rayer, these evangelists would say: "Will some one lead in prayer'.'" A man began praying. Soon his hands began to raise until, on ti;-toes with arms up-stretched at full length, as if ready to ascend, he stood for thirty minutes, by actual count. Then he fell to the flour and remained in a trance for hours. During this period no less than six other persons were going through the same performance. At times n Jess than tea were shouting their prayers, tearing their hair and going through crazy motions. Some had visions, others claimed they had. conversations with Jesus Christ and many seemed to be insane for the time. It is feared that at least two more persons will have to be taken to the asylum as a result of their frenzy. The Pox Ridge church has refused the faitheurists admittance, but their advance guard is holding meetings at private houses. The evangelists themselves are ptill at Mt. Hebron, but have announced that they will be at Salem church, this city, Thursday night.- Trouble is anticipated, as the majority of citizens are bitterly opposed to them. i)i:ns ikoi i:s tiik a. p. a.

The March number of the locomotive I'iremen's Magazine, the official organ of the Ihotherhood of locomotive liremen, contains an editorial attack on the American protective association. Eugene Debs, the president of the American railway ttnlon. the nw railway labor organization, and who was secretary and treasurer of the Urotherhood of locomotive firemon. is the editor of the magazine. Mr. Debs is fully aware of the lmjHirtant bearing the anti-catholic association has on railway labor organizations. " Hideed, he has known of the dissensions it caused long before the association began to be a factor In municipal elections. He believes that it found Its origin In ft plot to disrupt the railway brotherh'ods. In the editorial he quotes a rlory to the effect that railway inanagr.s and representatives of rolling mill Interests met in New York several years ago and evolved the plan as a means of weakening the labsT organizations so that the latter could not reflat a reduction of wages. He quotes the oath a nte;nhr of th association is required to tike, which pledges him to refuse employment to a catholic. There h.kve been quarrels In th brotherhoods on this .score, and It Is alleged that on some roads the anflcatholie element has been strong enough t prevent tbd employment of mcm-ber

The decision of the supreme court in the case of Nathaniel Bowen. administrator of A. H. How-en's estate, will have the effect of increasing the funds of the county treasurer in the sum of SSrt.Oflo and the fund? of the city treasurer ?2'.00O. It will also Increase the bank accounts of the attorneys representing the county and th? city the sum of $10.0m. In this c:;se the supreme court has settled the qi.estion of the right of the county auditor to place upon the duplicate omitted property for taxation, after notice leing given, and in the absence of proofs, that stich property had not for the years mentioned been listed. It also settles th" question that the tax law of 191 does n t repeal the law authorizing the county auditor, upon information, to go as far back as ll to put upon the duplicate property which has not been listed for taxation for each year so omitted. It teaches a lesson to assessors that it Is their duty to make out the assessment sheets and to demand the notes, mortgages and other evidences of credits, and to inform themselves as to unsatisfied mortgages of record that all persons should pay taxes on their personal property, the rich as well as the poor alike. So long as the motiey-loaner can make out his own assessment, so long will the state be robbed of just taxes. The tax law should compel every bank and loaiter of money to open tip their safes and display nil notes, mortgages, mortgage deeds, bonds and other credits to the assessor, and the same listed at their fair cash value. If this had been the law the rate of taxation would have been r,) jut cent, less than heretofore and the burdens of the people reduced, and their little homes would not have b -en fold for taxes which has accrued in very many oases. It remains to be seen whether the railroad corporations are to escape or disgorge their just taxes to support the government. ;il.l,F.TTI"S MIIIIMI .JOLT.

The grand jury, which was called to find indictments against the Koby race track poolsellers, adjourned today without finding an indictment of any description. Judge Cilletto declares now that ha will call a new jury that will act and prosecute the company to the end of the chapter. In dismissing the grand jury, Judge Cillette sail: "The court has noted the fact that no indictments have been returned against the Roby people. I think it is y fair to say that the court has been v J vised that the failure to Indict was uim a divided vote and that some of the members of the grand jury must stand acquitted of a charge of refusing to indict. It seems to me. speaking now to the members of the grand jury who have refused to indict, that you have utterly misconceived your functions. Where- the fact of guilt is as plain as it must have- leen in this case, where it has been boldly advertised that the law was being violated, it is not possible that there was not sufficient evidence to show the t'tiilt of the j a; ties engaged in sucn violation. Now, gentlemen, when you were empaii-iel ed, you took an oath to the effect that where evidence was introduced before you, showing that a crime had been committed, that you would indict. While the court has no power to compel you to Indict, 1 want to say that the responsibility for acting as you have in this matter mest rest with you. T ant glad to say that some members of the grand jury are not responsible for this miscarriage of justice. You are now- discharged." Judge CUlette said this evening that it was not a matter of persecution that the action had Leen taken by the better class of lakc county's citizens. AIIOI T I. IKK A I.Y.XC IIIXC. Killing an Alleged Tlilef by Members of n Drlri lhr Or it I m t ion. FRANKFORT, March 1!. John Rodger, a resident of Mulberry township, was killed last night by a number of members of the Mulberry detective association. This is an organized company of farmers of this county, recently formed for the purpose of making horse-stealing and other modes of thieving, which have been prevalent for a time, unpopular. Yesterday while Warren Thompson, with his family, was absent from home, thieves onterred the house and made away with a quantity of meat, flour and other provisions. John Rodg;...J5was suspected. Farmer Thompson called the associa tion together, and it was decided to watch Rodgers's house for the apearance of the thief with his plunder. Fifteen men accordingly concealed themselves at various places about the Rodgers prendses, and at 11 o'clock Rodgers made his appearance. It is asserted that he was loaded with the stolen property. At any rate, an attempt was made to arrest him. Rodgers resisted and drew a revolver. The next instant hid body was riddled with bullets. He lived but ten minutes. The members of the association are very reticent about the affair, and no details can be obtained other than, thoe given. It is not yet known what action the officers of the law will take.

SlPllKMK COl HT nitmvvs RFAF.RSF.S DEC1MOX. Jim.i: The Seliool Fnnd I.nvv I Conmlitiii loan I und o More Cnn llnlfliiee lie A Ith held The Curroll County Tns Ce. In the case of the state against McClellan, involving the validity of the act of which requires all school trus tees and school corporations at the end of each school year to return to the county treasurer any unexpended balance for Mate school revenue for tuition, the suprenK court March 6 handed down an opinion reversing the decision of Judge Brown of the Marion circuit court and holding the act of 1S93 to be constitutional. The points covered by the ir.ioii, which was prepared by Justice MeCabe, are: 1. That the act of 1S!3 Is constitutional. 2. That the attorney-general of the state is the proper relator to bring suit on behalf of the state for the recovery of any unexpended balances due the state according to the terms of the statute. 3. That the act of UM and other statutes taken together, require that all tuition revenues, when they reach the hands nf a sclxxd trustee or school corporation, are comingled and that they must be so held and paid out for teachers" salaries without reference to the source from which they are received. 4. That under th ad of the state is entitled to recover, out of the balance on hand on the first Monday in July of each year, the same proportion thereof (less JKH), as the whole amount paid in front tin slate bears to the entire sum received by such trustee or school corporation for tuition purposes front all sources. The result of this decision will be to destroy all motive for dishonest or padded school enumerations, a custom which the supreme court severely censures in the opinion. It will also put an end forever to the private speculations and personal investment of these balances, which have been carried on for years by many of the school officers of the state. The evil complained of has heretofore been based upon two or three old decisions of the supreme court to the effect that, for the time being, these officers were the owners of the funds In their hands, which they were entitled to invest and receive the interest thereon. For over fifteen years the several state superintendents have made vigorous efforts to destroy this system, employed by some of the school officers, of holding and using the school balances for their own advantage. All efforts in this direction have, however, been defeated owing to the opposition of that class of school trustees who hold the belief that school balances serve ;i better purpose in their own pockets than when properly expended for tuition purtmses. Suierinteiident Vöries is, therefore, entitled to great credit for accomplishing what so many of; his predecessors so signally failed in. He framed the. bill and through his untiring efforts secured its passage by the last legislature. At the proper time he had blanks prepared whieh were sent to the county auditors on which to make the returns in compliance with the law. A few responded, but in most cases the trustees refused to settle with the auditors, claiming that the law was unconstitutional and would be so declared should it be tested. They would therefore prefer to retain possession of the money and le saved the trouble of suing the state for its return when the supreme court should have declared the act invalid. Superintendent Vöries then requested the attorney-general to bring a test suit, which was done, in the Marion circuit court. Judge Brown decided that the act was unconstitutional. The appeal results in the opposite decision and a victory for the state. Before leaving for Washington. Attorney-General Smith left explicit instructions to be given in the event of a favorable decision in the case. He expressly directs that all trustees holding tuition balances lelonging to the state shall be given ample opportunity to pay over the same without suit; that the state shall be put to no expense in these collections, except where failure, neglect or refusal to comply with the law is persisted in; that no obstruction to speedy ana voluntary settlements will be per mitted. Mr. Bailey, who conducted the suit for the state, regards the victory as a signal one, which will redound to the great and lasting good of the school children of the state; that it will result In a more perfect distribution of school tuition revenues: destroy all motives for dishonest and padded enumerations and be the death knell to all private speculations In tuition balances. All the people of the state, he says, except bal ance-holders, will rejoice in the decision just rendered. CAHHOLL (OI VI V CASE. Supreme Court Ueeldes n Cane of .Much Interest. Nathaniel W. Bowen, administrator of the estate of Abner H. Bowen. entered suit, Sept. 17, 1S91. in the Carroll circuit court, against Isaac Reynolds, auditor of Carroll county, and others, demanding the cancellation of certain taxes charged against that estate. Defendants d murrea ana tneir demurrers wer-? over ruled, whereupon they refused to plead further. Judgment was rendered against them, and the auditor and treasurer were ordered to strike from the tax du plicate of Carroll county the several amounts which had been placed upon the duplicate by the auditor as omitted prop erty. That omeial and the treasurer, who were the defendants in the suit. then appealed to the supreme court, and it March reversed the de cision of the lower court with instruc tions to sustain the demurrers which had been overruled. It apiars thnt he auditor, having re celved information that certain personal property of the decedent had not leen listed for taxation for the years fro lSfd to 1VS"J inclusive. Issued to the ad ministrator a written notice requiring him to appear and show cause why such omitted property should not le added to the tax duplicate. The administrator appeared and moved to set aside the n tlce as insufnelern. which motion was overruled. Thereupon ne answered, repeating his first objection that the rotiee did not describe tne omitted property specifically, and stating that he had iki means of knowing whether the suni3 charged as omitted were correct or not. He further stated that for each of th? years named the deceased had subscriled and sworn to a tax list made out in due form and handed to the proper assessor, and that this valuation was approved by the assessor, who returned the same to the auditor: that said valuations were submitted to the board of equalization, approved and placed by the auditor in the tax duplicate, and the deceased had paid In full all taxes assessed upon such valuations. The auditor claimed he was embarrassed In his Investigation by the refusal of those who bad charge of the books, notes, mortgages and papers of the deceased to produce tlemi In evidence. Hem", he was comix lied to decide from the best evidence before him which convinced him that his estimates of the value of the property claimed to have been omitted by him were; correct. This property for the several years motioned was as follows: 1SS1. money loaned and credits, $104.600; 1SS2, same. $134,000; ISM, same, JHß.OuO; lL. same, $162..W: 1S8". same, $172.000; 1M56. same. J175.QO0; 18S7. eame, $218,810; 1SSS. same.

Tlx tvs claimed, were due on this property, h this property, SW.OfM). The objections to the auditors assess ment urged in appdl'-c s briet are ine same ;s those made in the l-.wer court. Tie supreme court di.-poss of thfin all at considerable length, rinding nothing In them to t-ustaiu the ioition taken Oythe appellee. Th-' auditor, the opinion savs. was authorized by the statute f proceed as he did upon receiving information written c-r oral, that any property has been omitted from taxation. The auditor can ii'-cssarily give only a general description of the property, tie tax law requiring the property-owner himself to gho a particular description f the propertv when be hands his list the assessor. Another ' fatal defect." the opinion holds, was the administrator's "defense that the decedent made his own assessment . swore to it, the assessng ofticors" accepted the assessment so made and now there is no help rer it. The appellee makes no pretense that tne assessment was fair or just or that thedeceuant had, in fact, given in all bis property for taxation. He ays. in effect, to the state, 'the thing is done and what ai-e ymt going to do alwnit it." " One ,.f the contentions of the appdte was that !h" tax. law of lVd repealed all former laws upon th- subject of tax ation and look away nn rigms ximiiis under form' r laws, e xcept such as ure expressly saved, s.nd as the right of the auditor to assess omitted property for any year or years prior to its passage is not "saved by the :.t. of ivd such rijrht does not exist. "This, again" says lhsupreme court, "is claiming equity without doing ei.uity. If these taxes aie unpaid they belong to the slat". They at'the state's property and the right of t hestate to th. ni ii -ver ceased. This contention amounts to saying, 'These taxes may belong to the state, but she has deprived h-rsclf of the means of collecting them.' Hut as a matter of fact the statute of issl has not repealed the law authorizing the assessment of omitted i rotiert y by the auditor. The legislature ip enacting this law had no intention of giving delinquent taxpayer any such advantage over the honest people of the state-. If there is any class, of projterty more than another which that law sought to have returned and appraised at its true value-, it is stub, property as is concerned in this suit and which ha for so long a time escaped taxation in the hands of unscrupulous money-lenders, namely, money, notes, bonds and other credits." The opinion further says that the supreme c ourt bas difficulty in concluding that the legislature in enacting a law which might in some measure relieve the people of the state from the evils e f unequal taxation would never think of re-paling a law which provided for assessing property which had been for years dishonestly kept off the tax duplicate, particularly when the same law is found re-enacted word for weird in the new statute. "There remains, therefore." concludes the opinion, "no ground on which the complaint in this ease can stand. It mav he added that when we find honest officials respecters of their oaths as the auditor and ex-auditor, the appellants in this case, it is the duty of the courts to uphold their efforts with the strong support of the law as enacted by tfcu legislature of the state."
