ALEXANDER II Fl. DAWSON of New York
snes the city for 500, 600 damage caused by
falling down an elevator shaft in the new
court house frem which Tweed aud his fell
low reformers stole their milisns. This fall
was not so much of an evil in itself, but the
leg broken by the disaster had to be set two
Or three times, and the consequent pain
ktigated Mr.. Dawson to use morphine,
which became habit. The morphine
ruined his temper and destroyed a DISPOSE
ton naturally sorghumistic, in consequence
of which his wife also became irritated and
aiEost withdrew her affection from her iras-
chile lord. While things were in this un-
pleasant condition, the landlord came at him
with q suit for arrears of rent; and as Mr..
Dawson holds that his worriments and
pains are worth 100000, and all came of
falling down the elevator shaft of the city
court house, he consequently sues.
