End Of a Celebrated case.

BLOOMINGTON, H., Nov. 1.-THE celebrat-
ed Zink-Funk case, which was recently tried
at Danvile, seems to have reached its termi-
nation. 1t is said that Mrs. links attorneys
have given up the case. The plaintiff, Mrs.
: sMalissa ZInk, alleged that she was secretly
married to George Funk in 1877, and b, the
marriage had one child. Funk some time af-
terward was married to highly esteemed lady
of Bloomington, and soon after the plaintiff
instituted legal proceedings TO prove her mar
rage with the defendant, and 10 come in for
her share of Funks fortune. The defence
fought the case on the ground that the mar
risge certificate offered in evidence by the
plaintiff was a forgery. The case was tried
two or three times, but the jury disagreed each
time until the last trial at DAnville when
verdict was given for the plaintiff Judge
Wekin in delivering his decision on a motion
for new trial characterized the verdict as in
compatible with the evidence as a conclusion
inconsistent with reason and in conflict with
the showing of the facts. Funk is one of the
wealthiest men in Central Illinois, and is a
member of the celebrat ed Fdnk family so we'll
known in the State. He served two terms in
the State Legislature.

oliver r. pav,s

On Thursday afternoon MIR. Oliver II. Davis
made his first visit to the station since his re
cent severe illness. On his return home he
was taken with congestive chill and sank
very low during yesterday, finally passing away
at 1.30 this morning.
Officer Davis-or 'fUncle Oliver" as he was
generally called-was born in Gardiner in 1909.
His trade was that of carpenter, and when
~ years of age be moved to Portland and was
apprenticed to and worked for Friend Loring
He afterwards married Miss Lorng, and
worked at the picture and mirror frame busi-
ness Nth Todd & Beckett Mr.. Davis had a
little shop Oh -, ime street, where he manufac-
tured his frames. He v yas one OF the old city
watch, and when the police foroScs was estab-
lished he went on the force and had BEEN a
member for thirty-two yeas, the only years he
was off being the years of the administrations
of Mayors Paris and Putnam. For the past
few years he has offciated as night turnkey at
the station.
Uncle Oliver was consistent and jealous
Methodist, and a member of Chestnut street
church. He was not afraid to die. and only on
Thursday last remarked, HE was all ready to
go but his iron constitution saved him." He
was good man and a stauneh Republican,
and his death will be mourned by many. He
leaves q son, DR.. Davis of S.co, and three
daughters, one unmarried.
Harris. the Convicted Post ONCE swin-
dler.
To the Editor Of The Press:
James w. Harris of Boston, who swore that he
brought Sarah Pierce with him from the New
England Metropolis one September night in the
steamboat to inspect the Sebago water works,
utters through the columns of the PRESS a
whine from the Jail, because the judge and
and jury OF the United States District court
believed that he lied, when he denied under
oath his completely in one of the meanest swim
dies ever perpetrated upon honest and deserv-
ing girls through an abuse of the United States
post Office.
1t may be true that Boston officials express
ed doubts of his conviction, but the same thing
happened in the case of the strikers who inter
fered with the United States mails here in
1877.
But he has no cause for complaint of the
United States officers here for all that.
'what rogue e'er felt the halter draw,
With good opinion of the law
He is simply exemplifylng in his proper per-
son, the inspired wisdom of Solomon, as many
other knaves have before him. II he will
''search the scriptures" a copy of which is now
his companion, he will fnd what he ought to
have known earlier, that ''ths way of the trans
gressor is hard, and will realize that the Uni
ted States officers here have been simply CO.
workers with sod in the ful6llment of ancient
prophecy.
Mr.. Harris is advised to be quiet and at the
expiration of his imprisonment 10 pay his
$1,000 fine aud costs, or he may be called upon
TO ansyed further to the national government.
