Tho ExDOrt Trade.

The New York "Sun" says it is a
fact we'll worth noting, tina: the exports
of domestic merchandise from the Uni
ted States were larger, in value, during
the last fiscal year than during any
previous one in the history Of this
country.
1t is second fact worth noting that
the exports of all sorts were in value
$7ll $751; 1898, and the total imports
$445, III, ,755,-so that the former were
to the latter 81 to a, and surpassed
them by $265, 1859, ,63S. The exports
were reckoned in q mixed gold and cur
rency value /; the imports only in gold.
Allowing for this we have a balance OF
about $3.50, 900, 900 on the export side.

A meeting of the Board of Health
was held last evening, President Mona
CHAN presiding.
Orders were directed to be drawn in
favor of d. H. Thomas for $21.16 and
VIM. Bowers, $23.S1.
Mr.. Mcconnell asked for information
as to what had been done towards
abating the nuisance at Lombard aud
Lord streets. He thought action should
be taken in the matter.
Col. Singley who has had the matter
in hand said that the nuisance would
BE- abated this week, that he intended
to have the parties before the Mayor.
Mr.. Renney asked who the aggress-
ers were. He further stated that he
understood Colonel singley had taken
sides with Mr.. Slime one of the parties
accused of maintaining the nuisance.
Mr.. Singley threw back the charge of
favOritism and stated that the lady had
dumped two cart loads of dirt in
gutter to which two others living above
had right of way, thus backing the
waste water upon their properties.
In order to investigate on motion of
Mr.. Kenney the Board adjourned to
meet upon the spot on Saturday after

A weekly magazine, "The Living
Age" gives over three and q quarter
thousand large and closely printed
pages of reading matter-forming foul
large volumes-every year. No better
proof could be desired that it meets a
public want than the fact that it has
had successful career over thirty-fve
years against much competition. Ita
frequent issue and ample space enable
it to present, with a freshness and sat
isfactory completeness attempted by nc
other publication, the abest essays and
reviews, the choicest serial and short
stories, the most interesting sketches
of travel and discovery, the best poetry.
and the most valuable biographical,

many other foremost writer's of the

The magazine, in short, furnishes
what Is essential to American readers
in a great and indispensable current
literature. As the only satisfactorily
complete and fresh compendium OF this
literature, its Importance and value
have steadily increased.
The subscription price ($o Year,

Until MOndsy-Minor Notes.
Special Correspondence of the Republican.
New CASTLE, Dec. 1st,'79.
James Murphy was the last witness
called on the part of the plaintiff in the
Delaware Western R. R. case vs.. Jno.
A. Harris, and his testimony corrobora.
ted that Of the previous witness already
reported as regards the lines Of the
Leonard property.
AT the close of his testimony-at 1910
o'clock, Mr.. Cummins for defendants
asked the court for non-suit, claiming
that plaintiffs had not made good their
title to the property in dispute.
Mr.. Bates for plaintiffs replied at
length, going over the evidence ad
luced and the court ovsrruled Mr..
Cummings motion.
The court then at l.30 adjourned un-
til 3 o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Upon reassembling at 3 o'clock, upon
motion of Mr.. Bird the case of Samuel
Samel VS.. VIM. Daniels was continued,
as were also the cases of Anthony VS..
Geo. A. Parkes, ct al and Ephraim Will
son VS.. Mary Jane Ewing.
Before re.opening the case of Harris,
the Chief Justice also announced that
the Jurors summoned to attend the
Court Of Oyer and Terminer we're dis
charged until next Monday, as were
also the witnesses in the case of Hugh
Dugan, who would then be tried for the
murder Of ex- Councilman Rowe.
The Harris case was then re-opened,
Mr.. Cummings for the defence reading
a number Of deeds showing who owned
the property in dispute.
Chas. Moore was the first witness
called. In his testimony Mr.. Moore
went back to 1872. He was then quite
young but recited several instances
which impressed the different land
marks in the neighborhood of Water
and Shipley upon his memory. He
was cross. s.examined at great length by
Mr.. Spruancs. The point of Mr.. Moore's
testimoney was that the dock claimed
by plaintiffs as West dock was
not West dock: but that West
dock was a sort of natural dock
formerly, and the present dvck as de-
cided in former evidence v as not West
Dock. A great deal Of cross firing be
tween Counsel, occasioned by Mr..
Moores testimony that gentleman being
on the stand from about twenty min
utes past three until twenty minutes of
six.
Mr.. Enoch Moore, ST., was next called
his recollection ran back to 1909. And
he like the proceeding witness described
the condition of the property at that
time and the place of the tide line.

THE STOLEN MESSAGES.

sage:
1t appears now to be pretty we'll un-
derstood among newspaper corrsspon-
dents here that the party mainly in
strumental in securing the report Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury and the
Presidents Message from the Govern
ment Printing Office was T. D. Crawford,
correspondent of the Chicago '7imes.
The story is that he bargaiu.d with an
employe Of the printing Office for proofs
# the documents, and then made an
arrangement with several papers to re-
ceivs them and divide the expense.
With regard to the Sscretary's report
t should be stated that il was bought
by the correspondent of the New York
Tribune" Cincinnati Enquirer" and
"flmes," but was, nevertheless, tele
graphsd from the New York "Tribune'
Office to the Cincinnati "Gazstte," Chi
cago "Tribune" and Boston "Adver
tiser."
The same thief who stole a copy o.
the Secretary of the Treasury's repor'
also secured copy of the Presidents
Message, and the latter document was
sold on Saturday evening to the corre1
pondsnt Of the New York "Times,'
Cincinnati "Enquirer'' and Chicago
"Times" for $500 each. Every precau
ton was taken not to let the fact be
come known that the document wa.

against the possibility of leak stric
watch was maintained on the operating
room of the telegraph Office and ths
movement Of the employees.
Some of the papers in the bargain
were disposed to weaken on Saturday
but Mr.. Crawford was instructed by
the "Times" to 60 ahead, if that papel

York "Times," with the Message in it
was obtained.
The work Of telegraphing it from New
York to the "Tribune" commenced at
o'clock in the morning. Ten wires were
used, and ths Tribune" was enabled
to appear with the Message in late
edition about half past seven o'clock OIL
Monday morning. The entire work O.
making arrangements, telegraphing and
st.ing up over 10000 words was &C
complished in less than four hours.
This will unquestionably be the las
time that such an event will occur dur
ing the present administration, as the
President has determined that his mex
Message shall not be printed until afte'
1t shall have been transmitted to Con
gress. President Grant adopted thi'
plan. and never permitted his MESA
ges to bs printed before the assembling
Of Congress. He did this to avoid such
premature publications OF Executive

From tho Lansing, Mich, Republican.


Wisconsin is a true daughter Of
Michigan. She has voted for every
Preside ntial candidate Of the Republi-
can Party, and her State Government
has been Republican for rs years, ex.
cepting the single term of the reform"
Governor, Taylor. Her finances, as
might be inferred, are in excellent con-
ditirn. The total State debt outstand
ing is 81, 1852, ,057, but the revenues have
paid all the intereat on this debt and
all the appropriations by the Legisla-
ture, SO that no deficiency tax is requir-
ed. The total receipts from counties
for the year ending September 30,
1878, were $73,394, from corporations
$444, 1916, and from other sources $2l,-
$40. With excellent crops, the farmers
are paying off their mortgages and the
merchants are happy. The Republi-
can majority is about $4,000, with two
thirds Of the Legislature, and that
Democratic stronghold, Milwaukee City,
is captured.
