Threatening Illness of the Lawyer

Threatening Illness Of the Lawyer
who Is 10 Close the Brooklyn Case.
Brooklyn Special (June A. to the Cincinnati
Commercial.
It seemed, to-day as thoughithere were real
ly ground for the apprehensiOns lately eX-
pressed about the health of lawyer Beach,
who is to do the summing up for plaintiff
TiltOn, and from whom highly tempestu-
Gus Grafton against Beecher is expected. On
the opening of Court after recess
Judge Nelson announced that Mr.. Beach
was III, but desired no interruption Of the
proceedings. Mr.. Evarts, therefore, went
on, though Tilton had not at that time .
single one of his FIVE lawyers in Court.
Fullerton, Pryor and Pearsall have not
been present since the close of the evidence.
Morris was absent for the time being, and
now Beach was i'll. It is hard to say
what Tilton would do if Beach's illness
should continue. Not another one Of his
lawyers could make any sort Of show in
summing up, and as the court could not
we'll adjourn till Beacl's recovery, / suppose
Morris would have to attempt his task, for
neither Fullerton nor Pryor could under
take il. This would be an irreparable mis-
fortune for Tilton at this crisis. During
Beach's absence TiltOn himself took
Beach's chair, and wished that the rules
Of the court would permit the highly rhe-
toricaI Theodore to sum up his case for him
self, and address the jury in his own be-
half. If lie has One-half the talents at
tributed to him by Porter, he might have
paralyzed BeeCher, drowned the jury IN
their own tears, won legal verdict and
amCral triumph.
Beecher's lawyers, unlike TiltOn's, are
always present in force, and to-day their
places were filed as usual by Evarts, POr-
ter, Sherman, Tracy, Hill, Abbott and the
corps of assistants.
In the course of the afternoon Beach i'm
proved sufficiently to appear in court. He
sat down on the steps of the bench in my
immediate vicinity, and was evidently in a
bad Ways He told me it was an attack Of
cephallic neuralgia, aud surprised me by
saying he was sIxty-fve years old. The
case in its intensity aud tediOusness, has
almost exhausted his powers, and it is no
wonder he wishes it in Hecla. He stayed
in court till adjournment, when he assured
the Judge it was imperative that the case
should soon close, and asked that some
limit might be assigned to EYarts' speech.
Then Eyarts was induced to promise that
he would close his argument next Tuesday,
when he will have spoken eight days, or
three more than Porter.

HORSE TALK.

The Long Branch races will be very fine
and brilliant this season. The course has
been much improved and the grand stand
enlarged.
For the race-hsrse kangaroo the Mar
quis Of Hastings once paid 1900 guineas
say $4,000. This horse now goes in
front of a London cab at sixpence a mile.
1t was reported yesterday that EGen. ".

We learn from the Lexington Press that
Lucy Fowler, the dam of Tom Bowling,
has dropped foal, full brother to that eel
ebrated racer. The colt is said TO be the
very picture Of Tom Bowling. Re Is not
now Mr.. McGrath's property entirely. The
ton that the colt should be put up at Mr..
Alexander's annual sale and sold ike any
other, Mr.. Alexander and Mr.. McGTath to
divide the proceeds. Il is presumable that
Mr.. McGrath will buy in the full brother

the dam, is how pretty old, being nearly
twenty years Of age, while Lexington, the
sire, is twenty-five.
Among the tuIfmen in England there is
a difference Of opinion as to the relative
merits Of first-class English race horse
and horse Of pure Arab blood. Admiral
Rous, a great authority, one Of the Jockey
Club stewards, believes in the superiority
Of the English thoroughbred, and thinks
that the improved race horse can give al
lOwanee in weight OfE2S pounds to the
Arabian. The result Of q match which
took place at the recent spring meeting at
Newmarket in England between AvOWal, a
four-year-old colt-One-third Of Arab and
twO-thirds of English blOOd-and the race
horse Mr.. Fox, 7 years old, hardly sustains
the Admiral's view. AvOwal, although al
lowed only 10 pounds, and having been in
training but three weeks, won easily. 1t
is argued that this result shows that the
infusion Of Arab blood palpably enhances
the staying powers Of the British thorough
bred, but on the other hand, it is said that
this match cannot be regarded rs a true
test, as Mr.. Fox is far from being one Of
the best horses in England, having been
beaten badly by LOwlander in the Hunt
Cup, and Scamp in the GOCdwOOd Stakes.

CARDINAL MANNING, in a recent

npOn vivisectiOn: 4 cannot pretend
to estimate the scientific utilities Of
vivisection; but I have no need Of any
such refnements to enable me to say
that the infection Of physical pain
without Just cause ID an abuse Of the
dominion that God has given to man
over the lower creatures. 1t Is lawful
TO take their life for the food Of man;
but it Is not lawful, even for this lust
and necessary purpose, to taketheir life
by needless pain. To inhict the ex-
quisiJe and prolonged torrents de-
scribed 10y those who have been present
at vivisectiOn, can, IN my belief, be
brought under no moral law, nor under
any right possessed by man lover any

CROSS PURPOSES.

A Father Arrested for kidnapping
His Own ChIidren-He Runs the
Gauntlet OF the Law.
BALTIMORE, June 5.-Henry 4. Schrein-
er, Of Savannah, was arrested in this city
yesterday, on a telegram from the Chief of
Police Of Savannah, charged with kidnap-
ping his own children, aged four and six
years. After investigation, Schreiner was
released with the children. This morning,
on a writ of habeas corpus sued out by the
counsel of the grandfather, the children
were brought before Chief Judge Brown,
who remanded them to the custody of the
father, who, on leaving the court, was
again arrested on warrant issued by
Justice of the peace, charged with kidnap-
ping his children, and all were again re-
leased. Protected by the city officials, Mr..
Schreiner went to Locust Point and sailed
for Europe with his children. 1t seems the
grandparents, who reside in Savannah,
were opposed to the father taking his chill
dren with him to Europe.

probably JOIN it, if hostilities broke
