The House will probably spend the
whole of to-day in discussing the railroad
bond bills passed by the Senate. There is
little doubt that they will be passed. The
friends of the measure are confident of a
total of nearly seventy votes in favor of
the passage of both bills.

Syllabus Evidence held sufficient to sustain
the verdict in this case, as respects question
of insolvency. The plaintiff held a certificate
of deposit for $500, issued to him by a bank
ing firm, composed of defendant johnson and
one Johnsrud. The complaint alleges that by
the fraudulent continuance of the defendant,
the plaintiff was induced to exchange
the same for certificate issued by
Johnsrud alone, who was falsely
and fraudulentIy represented by johnson to be
solvent and responsible, when, in fact, and to
Johnson's knowledge, he was insolvent, ire
sponsible and worthless, and ever since has
been, and no part of the money has been paid,
etc.
Held, That if the jury found Johnsrud to be
worthless and insolvent, and that johnson
had perpetrated the fraud charged, Gas they
might do upon the evidence), demand upon
defendant or Johnsrud was not necessary to
make out ause of action in plaintiff against
johnson.
Order denying new trial affirmed.

IT transpires that Matt. Carpenter did
not request that his remains be disposed
of by cremation, The fact, however, is no
argument against that method of dispos-

that cremation is growing in popularity
There have now been ten persons incin-
Grated at the Washington crematory,
and many men eminent in science and
public life have provided in their wills
that their remains be thus disposed of
