The contract was Immediately award
ed to A. j. Peters, the work to be
completed in three weeks, and on the
same day the plans for the new build
ing were definitely adopted.
Saturday, June 2Sth, Peters surren-
dered his contract for grading the ba-
sin lot, and it was given to Peter j.
Ford, who commenced operations on
the following Monday. A week later
the disposal of the SIC, 900 in bonds is

Elliott, johnson 81 Co., bankers, of

On Wednesday, July 9th, Mr.. Ford
discovered that he was badly stuck in
his contract. The basin walls were
found to be about twice as thick as was
supposed, and as was stated in the
specifications, and to tear them down
would cost more than the amount of
his bid, to say nothing of the balance
of the grading. On July 9th he asked
the Levy Court to release him from his
contract, and two days later he ceased
operations. On the 18th the Court
granted his request, and the same day
issued advertisements for proposals for
grading the lot and constructing the
new Court House, in accordance with
the approved plans. The proposals
were opened on Thursday, July slst,

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Ga Wednesday morning an inmate
in the house OF i'll fame OF EN-. Davis
on Second South street. took lauda'
mum. Her name is given as Lizzie
Henexberg. The report has II
that she received a dispS'ch IN
the morning from her sister,
stating that her mother bad
died, and that the fact OF her
being in q house of prostitution TAI
broken her mothers heart and caused
her death. The story goes that on
receiving this word she sent out a hoy
for laudauum. and when he re-
turned she locked the door of her
room, and took some of it Others in
the house learning OF her having
procured the laudanum, vent to her
room, and finding 1t locked, broke
open the door and prevented her
taking the whole amount. which she
is raid to have been about to do. A
doctor was Immediately called In,
since which time every effort
has been made to preserve
her life, but 80 IA. without any pros
pect of recovery. At l 80 O'Clock this
morning, she was still alive, but wac
liable to breath her last at any
moment. She had been sick for
some time and under the treatment
of a physician, and it is possible, was
somewhat dependent.

torial MIDDLE.
USUAL BATCH OF NEWS MISCELLANY.

A abstract OF Judge Davis opinion in
the so-called Morey letter case is given
below. The partisan Judge oversteped
his bounds when he went 30 far out OF
the way as to make an attack upon
Hon. Abram S. Hewitt and to try to in.
jure that gentleman's character.
Dir. Hewitt is too we'll known
in New York and through
out the Nation, for any preconcerted
scheme, in which Davis has taken
the preliminary step, to be broken down.
Hewitt's rejoinder completely routs the
so-called Judge "horse foot and dra.
goon.' Owing to the fact that Garfield
cannot resign his senatorial toga until his
term begins, and also that his successor
cannot be elected until after the fourth OF
March next considerable comment is
going on. AS the.Senate will be 30 closely
divided, this will allow the Democrats
to capture the organization il they could
not do it otherwise.

New YoRK, November l3.-Abfam. s.
Hewitt makes a reply to the opinion OF
Judge Davis to the Philip case in 30 far
as It relates to himself. Hewitt says:
"The Judge who sits upon the bench
is supposed to know the evidence which
has been given nv witness = certainly
he should examine II before he under
takes to make statements as to its nature
and 10 draw conclusions from il. That
JUICE Davis has not performed this
duty the following comparison oil his
statement with my testimony will serve
to prove" -
The passage is quoted from the opin.
ion in which it is made to appear the
Morey letter was not published until
after Mr. Hart had il examined by Mr.
Hewitt. Mr. Hewitt makes this rejoln.
der:
Now, the simple and transferable
reply 10 all this statement, that the ex.
traordinary comments in which Judge
Davis had seen fit to indulge, is that the
letter had already been Published in the
Truth before | had ever seen Mr.. Hart,
or the original letter, or any copy OF It
This fact Judge Davis must have known
when he penned the above lines, because
had sworn in his presence, and after
the cross examination by Mr.. Stoughton,
in which Mr. Bliss interviewed, TO verify
the dates OF that interview with Mr..
Hart, and the examination OF the letter
took place on the 10Th OF October, after
its publication in the Truth, and not be-
fore. | do not know whether Mr..

cation for Judge Davis to base his state
nent on this mistake in order to attack
from the bench the character OF q citizen
after the date had been fixed beyond Q
possibility OF all controversy. While
writing this statement sent messen-
ger to Mr.. Hart to ascertain whether he
had ever made any declaration at vari-
ance with the facts as I have stated
them. Mr.. Hart replies he never said,
testimony testified, or thought Mr..
Hewitt or any one connected with the
National Committee saw the letter in ad-
vance OF the publication OF the text OF
the letter in the Truth on the Goth OF
October. / never pronounced the body
and signature of the letter to be in the
handwriting Of Gen. Garfield. On
the contrary in the presence 6f
Mr.. Hart and all the gentlemen
present declared the body Of the letter
not to be in the handwriting OF General
Garfield, but that | believed the sigma.
ture to be his autograph. As to the Sec
ond interview, the evening ii took place
was after my speech at Chickering Hall,
when l was exhausted and took no other
part in the discussion but t. reaffirm my
belief in the genuneness Of the sigma
ture. did not tell Mr.. Hart that |
would have made it a forgery if could,
nor has he nor any one else testified that
| ever used the expression.
As t. Judge Davis assertion that
Hewitt went on with his associates
scattering forgery throughout the coun.
try" Hewitt replies: So far as /
am concerned, it would, perhaps,
be Il sufficient answer TO say that
/ never circulated any Autographs or
fac similss Of either kind, bu in order to
show with what reckless eagerness the
charge is made state that am assured
by person who did send out fac simiies
that only the first, or accurate, ones
were circulated, and that the second, or
amended fac similes were only published
in Truth, over which it is not pretended
the committee had any control.
forbcar to make any comment what
ever upon the extraordinary character
OF the opinion pronounced by Judge
Davis. 1t is enough for me to point out
that the foundation upon which he has
built up an attack upon my character is
false in fact, and with this demonstra-
tration the consequences can only be
damaging to himself. was prepared
for this attark by the evidently pre-
arranged preliminary statement Of Mr..
Stoughton in the Times of yesterday,
and [ am now forced to believe that
there is a concerted scheme to attempt
to break me down in this community,
where | have lived Tor fifty years, and
to which can more safely trust for just
judgment than to a Judge OF the Su-
preme Court, who forgets that when he
becomes a Judge he should cease to be
partisan.

evening a letter was presented 70 the
CITY Council by Mr.. Thomas ;. King,
Manager Of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
Railroad, which contained matters OF

Mr.. King said: The work OF gradation
is rapidly increasing along the line from

and within the list few weeks seven
miles have been finished. During the
present month the entire line from the

probably b.. graded, and con.
siderable part OF the track laid. The re-.
construction OF the old track is begun at
Huron, and is being prosecuted toward
Norwalk. The right OF way through
Norwalk, which Was pledged the road,
has not as yet been secured. The City
Council established by ordinance an
avenue. called NorwaIk avenue, tor the
