VIRGINIA WANTS WEST
VA. TO SHARE DEBT
Sovereign States Contest
Before Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 19.
(Special)—West Virginia has filed in
Supreme court an answer to the bill
of complaint filed against it by Vir
ginia, in which the latter seeks to
have West Virginia to assume a share
of the debt previous to the forming
of the State of West Virginia. John
G. Carlisle former secretary of the t
treasury, is of counsel for the defen- .
dant. • j
In the suit is involved an import
ant question of the relations of two j
sovereign states, as well as some j
$15,000,000.
In the demurrer the State of West
Virginia denied that the jurisdiction
of the United States Supreme Court
could be extended to the case insti- j
tuted by Virginia, because, it, was >
claimed, the Supreme Court could
not enforce a judgment for money j
against one of the soverign States of j
the Union in any way or manner. It
was also contended that Virginia had j
no suable interest in the demands for
money made. These and other j
grounds upon which the demurrer
was made were answered by the Vir
ginia attorneys, find the court issued
an order requiring West Virginia to
answer the bill of complaint origin
ally filed by Virginia.
Virginia Misused Money.
In her answer West Virginia ad-!
mits that the money appropriated
and the payment of the annually ac
cruing interest on the debt prior to
1861 and the formation of the sinking
fund for the ultimate redemption of
the debt was derived from taxes im
posed upon property subject to tax- j
ation throughout the entire State, but
avers that the large amount thus de
rived, to which the present State of
West Virginia, then a part of Vir
ginia, contributed her full share, was
not kept intact by Virginia after her
ordinance of secession, but was used
by her “in the administration of the
so-called State government at Rich
mond and for many other purposes
while she claimed to be a part of'the
Confederate States of America apd
that part of the sinking fund so ex
pended should be accounted for” to
West Virginia and constitute a credit (
to her in the settlement of her equi- 1
table proportion of the debt.

TRIAL EOR WHIPPING
COMES ON MONDAY
Hearing Will Be interest'
ing.
Quite reecntly a well known citizen
of Americus resented the whipping of
a little child by its negro nurse and
administered a thrashing to the wo
man, which so aroused her ire that
a court case against the gentlemen
was instituted. Judge Crisp and a
jury will pass upon the merits of the
i case tomorrow. This trial will be of
; especial interest to citizens of Ameri
* cus generally, and the hearing will be
i largely attended by friends of the
j defendant, who have warmly applaud
|ed his action in the premises. A
! large number of ladies, residents of
i the locality'in which the whipping
! was administered, and who witnessed
, the affair, have been summoned to the
j courthouse as witnesses, and their
i appearance will add interest to the
i proceedings, unusual as it is already.
! Inasmuch as these ladies are compell
i ed to attend court as witnesses Judge
! Crisp has assigned this “cause cele
j brie” for trial on Monday afternoon.
| It will be the case of absorbing in
j terest of the entire week, and the
1 courtroom will doubtless be thronged
with interested spectators tomorrow

HAD PLANNED GREAT
TOWER EOR BIG EXPO-
Died In Poverty After Earn
ing Fortune.
CHICAGO, ILL., October 19.
(Special)—David Redfield Proctor, 81
years old, a cousin of United States
Senator Redfield Proctor, of Vermont,
was found dead in a cheap lodging
house in South Clark street.
He had been in straitened cir
cumstances for several years, al
though he made a fortune from the
sale of royalties on an invention
which he patented in the early seven
ties, a device which arrested and ex
tinguished the sparks from the fun
nels of locomotives, making the kind
ling of prairie fires by passing trains
an impossbility.
In the palmy days of the Columbian
Exposition he was one of the most
picturesque characters who haunted
the offices of the Director-General
Davis, and Architects Burnham and
Graham with offprs of marvelous
plans for enhancing the beauty and
magnitude of the great fair.
He designed the Proctor-Morrison
tower, which was intended to make
the Eifel tower seem a dwarf in com
parison. For the rights to this tower
he was offered, it is said, almost SIOO,-
000, and a company to build it was
started under the presidency of En
gineer Morrison, “steel construction”
bridge builder.
But the collapse of the Steel Mac
kaye’s “Specatorium”theatre caused
the business interest identified with
the fair to look with disfavor upon so
gigantic an enterprise as that propos
ed by Proctor, and the tower, of
which was to be 1,000 feet higher than
the Eifel tower was not built.

DUPONT HURRIED TO
SCENE 0E EXPLOSION
Secrecy Surrounding His
Recent Wedding.
NEW YORK, October 19.—(Special)
—Within a few hours after the explos
ion at the du Pont Powder Company’s
plant at Fonteanet, Ind., had caused
death and destruction, Alfred I du
Pont, Vice President of the company,
and Mrs. Alivia Bradford Maddox, his
second cousin, were married yester
day at the Hotel Plaza.
Neither Mr. du Pont nor his bro
ther, Morris, who is executive head
of the powder company, had been al
lowed to hear of the explosion until
after the wedding.
When the news was broken to the
groom the wedding tour was postpon
ed and the groom decided to take the
first train for the scene. He left at
once for Fontanet.
Secrecy About Wedding
Much secrecy surrounded the wed
ding of Mr. du Pont and Mrs. Mad
dox, who is the divorced wife of the
former private secretary of Mr. du
Pont.
Only the immediate relatives of the
pair attended the wedding and the
name of the officiating clergyman was
not given out.
Mrs. Maddox is the daughter of
Judge Bradford, of the United States
Circuit Court, and is a granddaughter
of Alexis I. du Pont, son of the origi
nal founder of the powder company.
Two years ago while hunting in
Virginia Mr. du Pont was struck in
the eye of a stray shot and had to
have the eye removed in order to save
himself from total blindness. He has
been deaf for many years.
