lhPARTIALITY OF THE PoLICR-Decfsion of
ne Cooperation Atorney.-Saturday the police
OF the Third Ward served a warrant upon T
L. .Garner, commissioner Of the Third Ward
for neglectIng to have the snow reno yed from
the pavement in front of the public school cor
ser OF 10th and 4 streets. The case was laid
before Justice Morsell, who consulted with
the law in this case. The Attorney decided
that the commissioner being an officer of the
corporation was not personally responsible,
nor ID the corporation subject to suit in the
case, as II cannot sue itself II only liable for
damages in case any one injured by the neglect
snail enter suit. The ease against MI Garner
was consequently dismissed.

Weston Enters Chicago.

Weston entered Chicago on Thanksgiving
morning reaching the Sherman House be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock:
-Four hours previous to his arrival, dense
mass of mer, women and children poured
up the avenue through which he was to pass
and the street was crowded with vehicles OF
all descriptions, laden to their rutmost capa-
city with human freight. He was escorted

cials, and from there TO his destinations he
marched in the center of hollow square
| formed by fifty policemen. He was preced-
ed by band of thirty pieces, and was ac-
companied by thousands upon thousands o
people. Great enthusiasm was manifested
the pedestrian being hailed almost coniin.
uously with vociferous cheering. 1t is es-
timated that there were SO, 900 persons along
| the line of march.
In the vicinity oT The Sherman House the
scene was ntxtraordinary one, the streets
in all directions being completely blocked
with people on foot, on horse back and IN
vehicles all nauiiesting the greatest excite
ment. The throDg was SO great that for 8
considerable period the street cars were un-
able TO make their trips. s-.lif .s,4
Upon arriving at, the. Sherman. House he
entered, and iu response to loud calls, soon
made his appearance upon the balcony, car
rying his baby in his arms, and addressing
the crowd, informed them that the infant

THE WALkISTS.

1t is reported that Cory, the man who
walked from Goshen to Elkhart, Ind, start
ing with Weston and beating him twenty
eight minutes, is dead.
A man named Mark Grayson last week on
the race course at Leavepworth, Kansas
walked one hundred miles in twenty three
hours and six minutes.
Seth Payne reached Pittsburg, Pa, the
other day, on his excursion from New York
to San Francisco on $50 day schedule. He
has insured bis scalp against Indian risks
while crossing the plains.
One r. w. Thompson claims to have
walked from Akron to Wadsworth, O., I2
miles, in one hour and forty five minutes
having on during the trip two coats, vest,
and two shirts. He thinks he can walk 100
miles in twenty -four consecutive hours
Dan Rice, ex-showman, offers to wager
$50 0O0-$l0 900 to go to Weston if he
wins and the balance to be donated by the
winner 10 some suitable public charity-that
Weston can walk 100 miles inside of % con-
secutive hours. -
A man crawled two and a quarter miles
on all fours, in the northern part of New
York State, last Saturday, to win wager
of ten dollars. He made the distance in
two hours and six minutes. We suppose be
should be termed a crawlist.
The Chicago Bepubtican says, in speaking
Of Weston's 100 mile feat 1t is thought
that he actually did make it on the trial be-
tween Silver Greek, N. Y, and Conneaut,
o., and that supposition has been strength
ened by the receipt of letter from the dep
uty sheriff Of Ashtabula county, residing
at Oonneaut, stating that there was no doubt
about it Mt all. A portion of the distance
has been measured and found to vary so
much from what it was supposed TO be, that
close calculation makes the actual distance
travelled 1905 miles. In order that there
may be no mistake about the matter, Mr..
Edward Van Orden will cause the ground
to be accurately chained,

standing committees were elected: Foreign
Relations, Summer, chairman Finance,
Sherman chairman Appropriations, Morrill,

Mortgages.

Its not generally understood that the
Bankrupt Law, lately passed by Con-
gress, makes a radical change in the
tenure of mortgages, which have al
ways been first lien upon property.
This law provides that in case Of a
mortgage given within four months be-
fore an insolvent debtor goes into bank
ruptcy, the holder will be compelled to
come in on the same footing as other
creditors. Too much caution, therefore,
cannot be used in the acceptance of
mortgages.

The Eremanf LaurnaI.

The JOURNAL will in few weeks complete
its THIRTY-NINTH year. Its subscription
list was never larger than at present, nor has
it ever received more hearty approval from
its readers than during the past year.
We have, however, by no means reached
our ideal of County PArER, and intend to
make marked improvements during the COM
ing year which will make the JOURNAL for
1868 more valuable than ever. To do this
we need the help of our friends every where,
and hope that they will not only renew their
subscriptions for the coming year but, by
their good words, introduce the JoURNAL to
many new readers.
Our best efforts will be given to make our
paper emphatically HoNE PArEA, which
shall fairly represent the intelligence, enter
prise and thrift of our county. We shall con-
iinue 10 make a specially of our LOCAL De-
PARTMEST, sparing no pains or expense 10 get
the local news from all parts of the county,
and shall give besides clear report of Cen
eral and Congressional News aud carefully
selected Miscellaneous reading; and in our
Editorials We will aim to discuss public
questions in a spirit of candor and truth.
To Advertisers, the JOURNAL furnishes the
best medium in the county. Its circulation
ia much greater than any other paper in the
county, and its readers are of that intelligent
and well-to-dO class which buys largely and
pays promptly. We make specially of our
Advertising Department and shall spare no
pains 10 make every investment repay our
patrons. "
