DEATH OF MRS.

DEPPEN. Was a Member of An Old Alsatian Family--Widow of Henry Deppen. Mre. Henry Deppen, whose husband was the founder of the German Bank, died of paralysis and old age. at her home, 741 Fifth street.

She was stricken Sunday and never rallied. She was seventy-eight years old. The funeral will take place Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock from St. Louis Bertrand church. Mrs.

Deppen was the sixth child of Michael and Victoria Moubain Weyd, of Sauverne, Canton of La Petite Pierre, Alsatian France. With her family, she came to Chambersburg, in 1828. Being a beautiful child, the wealthy family of the Lindsays, of the United States stage line, who were childless, adopted her with the consent of her parents. By them she was reared and educated. Her family, however, emigrated to Kentucky and naturally desired to have Mary Rosalia with them.

The adoption was, for this reason, mutually annulled, and she was brought to Louisville by her brother, the late Louls Weyd, when about seventeen years of age. The Weyd family, at the time, were the lessees of the then celebrated Elm Tree Garden, a fashionable resort on the other elde of the Louisville and Portland canal. Here the girl made the acquaintance of Henry Deppen, then a well-to-do clothier and Louisville. Captain of one of the fire companies of They were married at St. Bonitace's church by its first pastor.

Nine children were the result of their marriage, Five survive her, namely, Mrs. Pierre Viglini, Charles the Very Rev, Louis G. Deppen, Alexander, Mrs. Julia Victoria Malone and Arthur Lee Deppen. During the Mexican war Mrs.

Deppen resided with her husband on Main street, below Fifth. Several times she visited Europe, residing mostly at Bad Homburg or Wiesbaden, for her husband's health, or, at the- Main, for the education of her children. She became a member of the Cathedral congregation under the Very Rev. Father MeGill, afterward the Bishop of Richmond. She was an eminent but retiring Christian woman, largely identified with charitable works in her active days, and loved and revered by all because of her lovable disposition.

Her health began to fail her three years ago. She suffered from two strokes of paralysis, the second proving fatal. BUYS MAIN-STREET PROPERTY. National Foundry and Machine Company Purchases Ground From B. F.

Avery Sons. The National Foundry and Machine Company, whose plant was recently destroyed by fire, has purchased ninety feet of ground facing on the south side of Main street, east of Fifteenth, from B. F. Avery Sons, the purchase price being $15,000. The ground was formerly used by Avery Sons as a lumber yard and their stables were also located there.

The stable building is a large brick bullding in which were twenty-two stalls. Mr. G. C. Avery said last night that they had decided the ground was too valuable to be used merely as a lumber yard and for their stables, and for that reason they had agreed to sell.

The property adjoins the machine company's old plant and they have already taken possession. The building is being used as a molding room. The property is 195 feet deep. BODY WAS MANGLED. Ed Patterson, Railroad Section Hand, Struck By a Switch Engine and Instantly Killed.

Ed Patterson, aged forty-five years, section hand on the L. and N. railroad, was struck and instantly killed yesterday by an engine at Seventh and Magnolia streets. The accident occurred shortly after midnight. The engine, in charge of J.

M. App, was switching cars. Patterson, who was either asleep or drunk, was not seen until the engine was almost on him and under too much headway to stop. The body was badly mangled. It was removed to his boarding-house at Sixth and A streets.

Patterson a formerly lived in South Covington, Ky. He was a single man. CHARGES UNJUST. W. GODFREY HUNTER DEFENDS HER ABSENT HUSBAND.

Says American Managers of a Railway Company Are Partly Responsible For the Trouble. Mrs. W. Godfrey Hunter, wife of the Minister, to Guatemala, arrived in LouIsville yesterday accompanied by W. Godfrey Hunter, Jr.

Telegraphic dispatches from New Orleans announced yesterday morning that a round robin was to be forwarded to Washington by the American restdents of Guatemala setting forth charges against W. Godfrey Hunter, the American Minister. In this, it was said that Dr. Hunter would be charged with criminal negligence in the support of American rights and would set forth in full the grievances of the American residents who had suffered from his inaction. Up to a late hour yesterday the round robin had not been received at Washington.

In view of these dispatches, the arrival in Louisville of Mrs. Hunter and son is of more than usual interest. Mrs. Hunter declares that she knows nothing of any charges against her husband and does not belleve that any reasonable grounds of complaint against his administration of affairs exists. She attributes the ill feeling toward Dr.

Hunter to the fact that the managers of the Guatemala Northern Railway Company, who are all Amercans, have been in frequent conflict with the native Government over the manner in which the affairs of the road have been conducted. She says that each side claims that the other has violated agreements, but that Dr. Hunter has done his best to bring about an amicable settlement and all charges that he is in with the Government are wholly untrue. One reason assigned by Mrs. Hunter for the prevailing dissatisfaction is that the Government is millions of dollars in debt and that, while the President is making every effort to meet all just claims, the work of repayment is necessarily slow.

The chief creditors are the British, German and American residents, and Mrs. Hunter believes that it is unreasonable on the part of the latter to think that their claims should all be attended to first. Mrs. Hunter expects to spend about six weeks in Kentucky, dividing the time between Louisville and Burksville. MYSTERY DEEPENS.

No Trace of Fred Hollenbach, Who Disappeared Monday--Suicide Theory Decried By Some. The mystery surrounding the disappear. ance of Fred Hollenbach deepens as time passes. His family still cling to the suicide theory, and believe that the finding of his coat and hat is conclusive proof that he took his own life. Some of the neighbors think that Hollenbach is alive and well, and only placed his coat on the bridge, a blind.

where he knew it would be found, AS says: DEAR MRS. -I feel it my duty to write to you to tell you that 11 have taken Lydia E. 1 Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and think there is no medicine in the world like it. I suffered for nine years, and sometimes for twelve weeks at time I could not stand on my feet. I had female troubles of all kinds: backache, and headache all the time.

Seven different doctors treated me. Some said I would have to go to the hospital and have an operation performed. But oh! how thankful I am that I did not, that I tried your Vegetable Compound instead. I cannot say too much in its praise, nor thank you enough for what it has done for me. I want you to publish this in all the papers for the good of other The wives and mothers of America are given to overwork.

Let them be wise in time and at the first indication of female trouble write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, for her advice. This advice is promptly given without charge. The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female ills is unparalleled; for years she worked side by side with Mrs.

Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, advising and helping by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women during a single year.

JUDGE EVANS ANGRY. SEVERE REBUKE GIVEN THE DEFENDANTS' ATTORNEYS. TILT BETWEEN LAWYERS. Judge Evans, in the Federal Court, yesterday reaffirmed his former decision and for the second time declared the assigned firm of Simonson, Whiteson Co. bankrupts.

In so doing the court overruled every objection made by the defendants' lawyers and affirmed every argument advanced for the plaintiffs. In delivering his opinion, Judge Evans Incidentally said of defendants' lawyers, M. D. A. and J.

G. Sachs: "There is more than a suspicion that the storm center in this whole trouble was around the efforts of defendants' counsel to secure a large fee for themselves. Indeed, when listening to the testimony it was impossible to resist the conviction that those attorneys were the real An attempt was made to prove that these lawyers have been attorneys not only for the assignee, M. Comingor, but also for the assignors, Simonson, Whiteson Co. From the testimony, the Judge stated, it would seem that the object had been to divert the estate into fees.

Nothing that the plaintiffs had done was sufficient to cause an estoppel of the bankruptcy proceedings. The attorneys for the plaintiffs introduced into court a paper signed by the lawyers, In which it was agreed to wind up the affairs of Simonson, Whiteson Co. for $4,500. Later this agreement was repudiated. An exciting scene ensued when one of the lawyers for the plaintiffs told an attorney for the defense that until this case his professional word had been good.

"From now on," continued the speaker, "I would require a signed paper. with witnesses, in dealing with Judge Evans reviewed the fact that at the time of the failure the firm of Simonson, Whiteson Co. owed $110,000, with $92,000 assets. There was enough money to liquidate all debts at fifty cents on the dollar, pay all fees and still leave almost $20,000 over. Now, however, the firm was bankrupt and could not settle at the fifty-cent ratio.

It was not known where the money had gone. The Judge estimated the cost of winding up the estate in the bankruptcy court as compared with the State courts. In the bankruptcy court the cost would be scarcely In excess of $1,000, while in the State courts it would foot up to $10,000. The bankruptcy dissolves the relation of landlord and tenant, and this would release the bankrupts from liability under their lease. The attorneys for Sensheimer, Levenson Messrs.

Kohn, Baird and Spindle, will now proceed to hunt for the money which the assigned firm is said to have possessed. OLD VETERANS MEET. Reunion In New Albany of the Eighty-First Indiana Infantry, of Civil War Fame. The annual reunion of the Eightyfirst Indiana infantry, a famous command of the civil war, held yesterday in New Albany, was attended by about fifty of the veterans, who had come from Floyd, Clark, Harrison, Crawford and Washington counties.

A. Merlwether, who was nominated by the Davis committee for Councilman in the Sixth ward on the Republican ticket, said yesterday in regard to his nomination: "I have not yet decided what I will do in the matter. I have been busy with other affairs, and have given the subject nO thought whatever. will not decide what I will do for two or three days." Asked whether he was a member of the Hambrick committee, Mr. Meriwether said: "While I am a member of the committee I have always been more of an antiEvans man than a Hambrick man.

However, I have no idea at present what my decision will be." GROCERS MEET. WHOLESALE MEN DISCUSS THE SUGAR SITUATION. Will Continue To Distribute On the Equality Plan--Fight Between Trust and Outside Refineries. The wholesale grocers of Kentucky will continue to distribute sugar on the equality plan and will buy from whom they please. This was the policy determined upon by wholesale grocers of the State at their meeting at the Louisville Hotel yesterday.

The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the question of sugar distribution. About thirty-eight grocers from various parts of the State were present, and every house in Louisville was represented at the meeting For some months the sugar profits of the wholesale men have been In jeopardy. This is due greatly to the fact that there is a war on between the American Sugar Refining Company, the big trust, and the independent refineries. The trust claims to control 120 per cent. of the sugar capacity of the country and it wants 100 per or all of the business.

In its efforts to control the trade it has brought on a fight with the outside men, which the grocers say will injure them, and they are trying to forestall the destruction of their present profit. At the meeting yesterday the situation was thoroughly discussed, and the grocers took steps to protect themselves. A prominent member of the association said last night that no agreement had been made to buy exclusively of either the trust or outsiders. Every distributor is given the right to buy his sugar from the trust or from any outside refiner. The policy of the American Sugar Refining Company is similar to that of the Distilling Company of America, the big liquor trust.

NOT SO BAD AS REPORTED. Out of 213 Cases of Yellow Fever At Key West Only Twelve Patients Have Died. Mr. J. S.

Clark, of this city, has recelved a letter from Dr. C. F. Kemp, of Key West, regarding the yellow fever situation. Dr.

Kemp says that the disease is not nearly so bad as reported, and that every case of fever is reported by the physicians as yellow fever. The letter, in part, is as follows: "The epidemic is not bad as reported to be. The doctors report everything as yellow fever for some purpose. If a person, child, young person or adult, has fever for twenty-four or forty-eight hours, it is reported as yellow fever. "It certainly has hurt the city from commercial and financial standpoint.

I regret very much the fact, and am extremely sorry for the few unfortunate victims of the disease. There have been but twelve deaths, with 213 cases reported to date." THIEVES RETURN I MONEY.

Goebel. Headed by a brass band of sixty-five pieces and led by Mayor Carter Harrison, the Chicago Democratic Marching Club will arrive in this city October 11, remaining all day and night. The object of the club's visit is to create interest in the coming gubernatorial election and to urge the election of Senator William Goebel, the regular Democratic nominee for Governor. The club was in this city two years ago, and it never fails to create the greatest enthusiasm wherever it goes. Judge Vincent H.

Perkins, representing the club, was in this city yesterday and last night, the guest of Col. Sid Gates, of the Big Four. He says the club will begin its annual pilgrimage in the interest of straight Democracy early in October. While in this city the visitors, who will be 500 strong, will go to the Midway at the Elks' Fall Carnival. A verbal invitation was accepted by Judge Perkins, but engraved invitations will be sent to Chicago at once.

Judge Perkins, who is a Kentuckian and who is now a prominent member of the Chicago bar, believes that Goebel will win by a good majority. He says the fight against him is only a repetition of the one made against the regular nominee when Altgeld ran independent against Harrison. Judge Perkins called upon Mayor Weaver at his office. He leaves this morning for Frankfort, where the club will also go. The club will take in LexIngton and other Kentucky towns on its tour.

It Is made up of hustling young Democrats and it is believed that the trip to this State will be fraught with much good. Examination of Pharmacists.

The introductory services. and enrollment will take place in the chapel on Wednesday, October 4, at 10 a. m.

On Thursday morning before the classes open a meeting of the faculty and students will be held in the chapel at 9 o'clock for prayer and conference.

Seven of her students are In foreign field doing faithful work. The students have done much good mission work in the city, two churches having already been organized, and other missions are well under way. The public generally will wish It a prosperous session this year.

AVOID TAXATION. MANY "MOUNTAIN DISTILLERS' TO BE TRIED. Jesse Neely, "Bad Man" From Owsley County, Is a Federal Prisoner In the Jail. As the time for the opening of Federal Court draws near United States Deputy Marshals are arriving dally, having in custody men charged with all the offenses which are usually tried In the United States District Court. The large majority of the prisoners brought in are charged with violating the revenue laws, and the space in the county jail in which these persons are confined is rapidly filling.

Deputy Marshal J. C. Morgan, whose headquarters are at Beattyville, has arrived, having in custody five men, three of whom are charged with illicitly distilling whisky, while the other two are charged with resisting an officer. James Barnett, John Hogg and E. Angel, all live in Owsley county, where they pose as small farmers.

They are said to make farming a side-issue, however, and devote most of their time to the distilling of liquor. They are of a selfish disposition, and refuse to give Uncle Sam his share of the proceeds. In fact, they think that Uncle Sam is a partner in the whisky trust and is trying to drive them out of business by making them pay what they call an exorbitant tax. In order to successfully carry on their business they are compelled to build their stills in some secret place, not frequented by the revenue collector. The three moonshiners who were brought in yesterday succeeded in keeping the location of their stills secret, but were themselves caught.

The other two prisoners are Jesse and James Neely. Their home is in Owsley county, and for miles around Jesse Neely is known as a "bad man. About two years ago George Thompson, a Deputy Marshal, tried to arrest Jesse Neely, and while the offcer was reading the warrant Neely drew a revolver and shot him. Thompson recovered, but Neely escaped. Recently he returned to Owsley county, and Deputy Marshal Morgan, hearing of his return, went to place him under arrest.

Neely was sitting on the front porch of his brother's home when he saw the officer coming. Calmly raising Winchester rifile, which was lying on his knee, he shot at the Deputy Marshal five times, but the latter never wavered, and, drawing his revolver, asked Neely to surrender. He complied, and Morgan, after securing his brother, took them to Beattyville. WANT A RECEIVER. Suit Against Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse Association Comes Up In Federal Court.

The sult of Rudolph F. Balke against the Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse Company, In which the plaintiff seeks to recover $265,000, alleged to be due as a balance on purchase price of the Mellwood distillery, came up for trial yesterday in the Federal Court. It is claimed the sale was made for 210,000 and only $975,000 has been paid. In the court yesterday Mr. Ballke's attorneys, Col.

Thomas Bullitt, Maxwell Bullitt and Lawrence Maxwell, asked that a recelver be appointed to take charge of the whisky and other assets belonging to the Mellwood distillery on March 1 of the present year. It was alleged that the whisky was now being removed from the warehouses by the defendants, and if a receiver was not appointed the warehouse receipts, which had been deposited with the Columbia Finance and Trust Company as surety for the debt of $265,000, would SOOn become worthless. Judge Alex. P. Humphrey, C.

H. Stoll and Alfred Austrian, attorneys for the detense, filed a plea raising the question of Jurisdiction. They also contended that the Columbia Finance and Trust Company, as trustees for certain shares of stock, should be made a co-defendant. Judge Evans adjourned court at 4 o'clock with the lawyers still arguing. He said that the case would be taken up to-day.

The internal revenue collections yesterday amounted to $49,697, divided as follows: Beer, whisky, cigars, $188.82: tobacco, $19,806.35: special tax, documentary stamps, proprietary AL SCARED. COAL DEALERS IN NO HURRY TO FILL ORDERS. Supply Only Enough To Last Until November 1-A Rise In the River Expected. There is considerable speculation going on among the coal men of the city 8.8 to the probability of a coal famine in the next few weeks, although coal men say there is enough coal on 1 hand to last until November. There are many old river men who say that the indications are that the river wil not take rise until about December.

Should this be the case, they declare it devolves upon the Kentucky mine owners to furnish the supply, unless Indiana comes to the rescue, as was the case three years ago. It is estimated that there are about. 500,000 bushels of coal on hand, and Mr. J. T.

Duffy, who has charge of the coal floats at the Pumpkin Patch, says this will last until November, that is, with moderate weather, but dealers Intimate that if 8 good cold spell should set in the city would be short in a few weeks. The present cold snap has set people to guessing. Orders are already being cut down by coal dealers to a considerable extent, and it the present weather continues it is likely that they will be cut down considerably more. Firms are being told that if they are in absolute need of coal the orders will be filled, but unless such is the case the dealers are in no hurry to fill them. Mr.

Duffy says he does not fear a famine and that the chances are nine out of ten that a rise will come before November 1. He says that while the supply is not particularly short at the present time, there Is by no means a full supply on hand, ELECTRIC LINE ASSURED. Capt. Ed. J.

Howard Says It Will Be In Operation In Jeffersonville By January 1. An electric street car line is an assured thing for Jeffersonville, and it will be completed before the close of the year 1899. The project has long been under contemplation, and from time to time it seemed ready to materialize, but something intervened to check it. At last it has been definitely settled. Capt.
