Joseph A. Bonham, Esq, the well

rience: "About two weeks ago / was

swelling had shifted from under the ankle
to the upper part of the knee. l applied

Tried Half an Hour Too Soon.

A ludicrous mistake, and they will happen
in the best regulated court rooms, took place
in the municipal court yesterday morning as
follows: About $50 O'Clock the case of the
city against Lizzie Kennedy, charged with dis
orderly conduct, was called. The compalint
was made by Mrs. Hall, and the parties re-
side in the same building on Fifth street. It
was shown that Mrs. Kennedy received gentle
men at her rooms and that they made great
few minutes before 1O o'clock Mr. Erwin,
counsel for defendant, came in and called atten.
tion to the fact that the case had been set for
10 O'Clock. This proved to be SO; the fact
having been overlooked. He demanded trial
by jury, on the grounds that there had been no
trial. After some discussion it was agreed
that Mrs. Kennedy should leave the premises,
whereupon sentence was suspended.

THERE is good deal of buncombe in
the appeal of Conkling and Platt to the
New York legislature. If new legisla-
ture was to be elected by the people to
act upon their reelection, it could be
claimed that they had appealed to the
people or the Republican party of the
State. Their appeal is to legislature that
elected Platt at Conkling's dictation, and
their designations are no more effective
than if they had referred the matter to
Vice President Arthur and Gov. Cornell.
1t is shallow, silly trick.

Killed for a Bridge Toll.

CINCINNATI, May 15--Early yesterday
morning Joseph Reimer, toll keeper at the
drawbridge, Vincennes, Ind, was shot dead by
Jas. W. Swallow, 1S years old. Early in the
evening Swallow with five friends had attempt
ed to cross the bridge without paying toll,
but were prevented. at midnight they re-
turned and all paid toll but Swallow, who re-
fused. Reimer struck him on the arm,
whereupon Swallow drew revolver and fred
the fatal shot. Reimer's wife and daughter
rushed out of their house IN time to Sc the

Another Fire Engine.

Mr.. A. W. La France, representing the La
France fire engine manufacturing company,
of Elmira, N. Y, is in the city. Meeting Mr..
La France yesterday he said to GLOBE re-
porter that his company had only learned a
few days since that St. Paul had invited pro-
posals for new first class fire engine,
and that he had made all
possible haste to get here af-
ter learning of the fact. to bring his engine
into competition with others presented. His
engine, he said. was rotary like the Silsby,
these two being the only two rotary fire en-
gines made in this country; He claimed for
generating steam, simplicity of construction,
durability, lightness OF draft and greater
power than other makes of the same class.
TO show his faith in his engine
he said that he should pro-
pose to the council to bring his engine here
and put it in competition with all other makes
and abide by the result. If his engine was
found superior to the OF ers, the city to take
it. If not he would send it back to the manu-
factory, the city to be at no expense in the
matter.

President, at the eleventh hour, to with
draw his name as the only means of main
tanning the "harmony" of the party.
There seems to be little ground for be-
lieving that Garfield is more concerned
for the harmony of the party than he is
for his own dignity. He will allow the
party to go to the dogs before he will
withdraw the name of Mr.. Robertson at
Conkling's dictation. He does not re-
gard the party as being carried in Mr..
Conkling's pocket, and will risk what
ever of disaster may spring from his at
tempt to destroy the executive and to
build up the cause of Senatorial dictation.
AS for Mr.. Conkling. he is playing a
game of bluff. He expects to be credited
with having made great sacrifice
in the interest of principle. The
truth is, he is making no sacrifice at all.
He resigns position in the full con-
sciousness that his subservient tools in the
legislature will re-elect him with sub
stantial unanimity, and also re-elect his
lackey Plattlwith the same evidence of
enthusiasm. He will then return to
Washington with an increased aggrava-
ton in his strut, and an added inso-
lence to his manner, claiming that
his course has been endorsed by the
people of the great State of New York.
Mr.. Conkling has played bold game,
but he has been unable to conceal the
weakness of his hand. He had staked his
all upon the contest while he thought
there was any chance of back-down by
the President. When he finds that this
hope is futile he has thrown up the cards
and demands new deal. No one will be
deceived, however, by his bluster. He
has been beaten at his own game, but has
not the manhood to acknowledge it. His
appeal is to what the gamblers call ga
cold deck,'' which his pals in the New
York legislature hold. His new departure
will create sensation for time, but it
will come to be appreciated for precisely
what 1T is worth, and but little sympathy
will be wasted over his real or his fancled
wrongs. In vulgar parlance, che bit off
more than he could chaw," and has been
compelled to acknowledge the fact.

The New York legislature approved
the Presidents nomination of Robertson
without waiting to hear from Conkling.
AS consistency is not prevailing char

Platt to the Senate and thus condemn

CONFINES GAME OF BLUFF,

Mr.. Conkling has resigned his seat in
the United States Senate. 1t may be in
cidentally remarked that Mr.. Platt, the
tail to Conkling's kite, has also resigned,
but this is of no consequence, as Platt is
simply part of Conkling, and could not
avoid following in the footsteps of his
master
The incident has caused sensation 1t
is of itself a sensation, for it is the first
time in the history of the country that a
Senator has so flagrantly defed the au-
thority of the executive-has thrown
down the gauntlet of battle in the face of
the ePresident Of the United States.
The cause of the act scarcely needs
mention, for the public is familiar with
it. President Garfield saw fit to use his
own discretion as to the appointment of
the collector of the port of New York
His selection did not suit Mr.. Conkling
He endeavored to defeat the confirmation
of Mr.. Robertson, and at the same time
secure the confirmation of his own favo-
rites He was anticipated, however, by
the President, who withdrew all New
York nominations save that of Mr.. Rob-
ertson, and, in effect. informed the Sen
ate and Mr.. Conkling that that nomina-
tion must be confirmed before any other
should be acted upon. This was thought
to be coup de grace, for Conkling, but
he had not exhausted his expedients He
endeavored to procure the endorsement
by the Senate of his war upon the Presi-
dent, and failed. He has now appealed
to the legislature of New York that he
may break the force of his own fall,
which he regards as now inevitable.
Conkling acknowledges the fact that
Robertson will be confirmed. The fact
is patent to everybody. But sooner than
submit to the humiliation of such an
event, he has chosen to attempt one more
act of intimidation-to try to force the

DEAD IN TIE RIHER.
With Stone Fastened About His Neck
= Was He Murdered?


Early yesterday morning German farmer
residing in Washington county, visited St.
Paul, and reported that while fishing below
Pigs Eye he and another man had ran
across thesbody of man with a stone
about the neck. The deceased was recognized
as well known character named George
Fletcher, for many years resident of Pigs
Eye.
For some reason unknown the messenger
failed to call on Coroner Davenport and that
gentleman has received no official notice OF
the death. To confirm the fudlng of the
body, colored man employed on Mayall's
farm, came to the police headquarters about
noon yesterday and reported that George
Fletcher had been drowned.
Last Saturday Mrs. F1echter visited friend
in this city, to whom she stated that her hus-
band had been missing since last Thursday.
The deceased was well known in this part of
the country. About year ago he and his
wife quarreled with half-5reed, and they
were both terribly pounded. The coroner will
probably investigate to-day.

syllabus-A conveyance of real estate by 6

tee should hold it in trust for the grantor, anl
that as fast as money could be realized there
from it should be applied by the grantor tt
the payment of his debts, operates to hinder
and delay creditors, and is void as agains
them.
A debtor's property is by law subject i'm
mediately to process issued at the instance o

debtor intends ultimately to apply the availl
to the payment of his debts.
Such conveyance, absolute in form, is none
the less void, as against creditors though
made for the double purpose of securing th'
grantee for Endorsements made by him for the
grantor, and of protecting the property from
forced sale, and possible sacrifice on the process
of creditors, it cannot, in such case, operate
as lawful security as against creditors
The property was, after such voldable con
veyance, attached by the plaintiff as the prop.
erty of the grantor, and was after such attach
ment sold and conveyed to third party, a de
fendant in this action, who had no
tice of the plaintiffs rights, and the avails o.
such sale were received by the original grant
or, and to the payment of his debt.
Held, That the original deed was void at its
inception as against the plaintiffs creditor al
the time, and no subsequent transaction
affecting the property to which he
was not party, and not involving the right:
of innocent parlies, could give it validity al
against him, and that he is entitled to have
the cloud cast upon the title by the deed remov'
ed in aid of his execution.
Although in cases of this kind, the intent
with which the conveyance is made should bt
found as matter of fact, the finding is sufh
clent II the interest to hinder and delay credit
ors inevitably follows from the fact found
touching the acts and intention of the parties

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded. by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, as fatulency, uneasiness
OF the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspi.
ration, producing very disagreeable itching,
particularly at night after getting warm in
bed, is very common attendant. Internal,
external and itching piles yield at once on the
application of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy.
