ly attacked by an illness which
his medical attendant declared
must determine fatally, so severe
were the symptoms. After lying
in an apparently hopeless state for
some days, he suddenly took a
turn for the better, and thanks to

had returned TO business he was
much startled, on opening an &C
count presented at his office, to
find himself charged with a full
set OF Widows weeds of an ell
aborately complete description.
A domestic explanation naturally
followed, and his wife reminded
him that he had always made it a
special desire that the fact of their
having emigrated to a COLONY
should never prevent her dressing
as a lady. "Aud the dress max

The Supreme Court of Illinois
has recently made decision full OF
interest to town corporations and
town property holders. It is to the
effect that sidewalks are the proper
ty of such corporations, and must
be built and repairee by them, and
not by the individuals owning the
property on the side of the stree
where the sidewalk is built. Here.
tOfore the property owners have
had to build the sidewalks, and this
decision is therefore interesting
The argument used by the Court ID
that sidewalks are for the benefit
and accommodation of the public,
and should therefore, as q public
benefit or Improvement, be bnilt by
the city.

SPICY FEATURE
One of the spicy features Of the occasion had It's
'orgip In motion by George +. Hoar, Of Worceste-
th9 the State Committee be enlarged by the selection Of
eLeven members at large one from each Congressional
District that the Chair appoint these additional
members This proposition meeting with some objection
Mr.. HOar retorted with criticism Of the man
ner in which the republican party had been managed
in Massachusetts, remarking that if some young and
active blood had been infused into it years ago IL
would not be where IL was to-day. In his remarks he
referred TO the new departure letter" of Vice Presi
dent wilson four years ago ana, with feeling ana eo-
quence showed hew the party supremacy would have
been sustained If the wisdom Of that letter had been
needed and he believed now that they could and ought
TO put their destinies into the hands OF a committee
that would organize republican victory The Conven-
ton took this view OF the case, and Mr. Hoars propo-
sition was adopted.
CHARACTER OF THE CONVENTION
II may be said OF the Convention brief that II
of the most remarkable of the republican party
held in Massachusetts, IL was fussy and i'll
natured all the way through and yet the delegates
managed most admirably to conceal dissensions which
were inwardly experienced from the beginning TO the
end With any other man than Vice President Wilson
in the chair the scenes would probably have been more
envening than decorous II was to smother III feeling
much TO give national character TO the body that

ventions be as follows

pointed by the members Of the General Committees Of
the different districts in accordance with the rule, they
had, after few days Service, been discharged by the
forem in charge who had taken occasion 10 appoint
their friends those in whom they had some in
terest This led 10 some pretty "tall talking which
resulted in sub committee being appointed TO inquire
and report upon the subject TO the meeting Of the

Alleged Conspiracy TO Remove q
Postmaster.

LEAvKNwoRTH, KAN, Dec. FIT will be
remembered that Embry, the man who at
tempted TO assasinate Colonel ID. r. Anthony
last May, published an article severely re-
fectiDg upon Anthony's official acts as post
master of this city. These charges were
proven to be unfounded. Within the pas
week Anthony mas ascertained that James
r. Legate and a man named Coney have
been active In obtaining affidavlts To effect
his removal and he has set detectives TO
work TO ferret out all the parties engaged ia
the matter. II seems from developements
which have already been made that these affi
davits were procured from ignorant persons,
generally colored men who could
neither read nor write, and contained
such charges as Legate and Coney wanted 10
make against Anthony. Eleven of these
persons have stated that they were imposed
upon, and were required TO make and swear
10 false statements. Legate started to Wash
1ngton some days ago, taking with him these
false affidavits, but copies of them were left
here, which were obtain ed by the detectives,
and from them il was ascertained what these
Ignorant people had sworn To. The Times OF
to-day has !ull account of the matter, In
Guiding number Of statements from these
parties, showing that affidavits obtsinesi
from them were false. Legate and Coney
will be prosecuted to the full extent OF the
law.
