CHICAGO, Msy l1.-There was an
open compromise in court this morn
ing of a rather remarkable suit for
damages. The circumstances of the
case are as follows: On last Christ
mas eve a Mrs. Dudley whose husband
is an employe Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, and who is half
brother Of Mayor Harrison, visited
the store of G. W. & r. Partridge &
Co., a large establishment on State
street. While standing in the store,
with only one hand in her muff, some
one else's hand reached into the other
end of the muff and seized her pocket
book. She held on to her pocket book,
and turning around, saw that
the would-be thief was a woman,
who turned out to be Mary Moriarity,
at that time female detective in the
Boston store. Mrs. Dudley accused
her Of trying to steal her pockatbook,
but Moriarlty denied it, and accused
Mrs, Dudley of trying to steal hand
kerchief At that moment a floor
walker, named Haeckman, came
along, and Moriarity complained to
him that Mrs. Dudley was stealing
goods, and with that Haeckman, Mo-
riarity and others seized Mrs Dndley,
and pushed and dragged her down into
the basement and into private room,
telling her that she must be searched.
Mrs. Dudley shrieked protested and re-
sisted, but to no purpose. Mrs. Dudley
protested that no man should search
her, and insisted that woman should
be sent for. Haeckman swore, and
said he was man enough to search her.
He then opened all her clothes and
handled her in most indecent man
ner, accompanying his search with the
most insulting language. He fouad
no stolen property on her and turned
her. loose, warning her never to show
her face in that store again.
The lady's husband, when he learned
OF the outrage. went to the store and
trounced the floor walker. He then
brought suit for $4,000. When the
case was called to day the lawyers on
both sides asked u little delay. An
offer of $500 and expenses was made
and accepted, and this amount was
entered as a judgment.

says he doesn't like the taste Of the
Rio coffee supplied to the prisoners,
and also for portion Of the other
articles and for their cooking. After
breakfast he cleans up his cell, puts
his books in order, reads little and
embraces the privilege of exercising
in the corridors for an hour. Return.
ing to his cell, he takes up his Bible
and reads for some time, perhaps re-
ceiving visitor or two, for when he
returns to his cell he is locked in
again. About 10 o'clock his dinner
is brought to him, and this is a repeti-
tiOn of his breakfast, except that
sometimes a variation is made in the
style Of cooking. During the day he
also eats several apples or oranges.
After this heretofore he has spent the
time in receiving visitors, but now, as
these have been cut off, he hardly
knows how to spend his time after his
hours exercise. About 3 o'clock he
lies down. Whenever the guards
make their rounds he raises his head.
His daily food is from one and half
to two pounds Of beef, nine eggs, ff-
teen to eighteen slices of bread, be-
sides fried potatoes, coffee aud fruit.

The Chattanooga Times says that
L. B. Resderick, the low taxer elected
in the Chattapooga district to succeed
Senator CASTOR, is not much of q
Democrat no how and has not been
since 1873. AS the high tax papers
and orators all claim that there is no
politics in this question and that it is
only a matter of perrin ciple. ~
what difference does it make
whether he is Democrat or not. This
fourth session of the Legislature was
called mainly to attempt settlement,
so called, of the State debt, and to
have the attorneys paid who defended
the 100 act. This is an extraordinary
session OF very extraordinary
Legislature. As body it is
above instructions, above the people
and therefore acceptable and harmo-
niousin the eyes of Governor Hawkins
and a few papers and leaders in the
State. Those who laugh to scorn at
harmony among Democrats take to it
graciously when it springs up from
community of interest or cOngeniality
of soul between Democrats and Re-
publicans.

The Legislature, having nothing
else to do, has appointed a joint com
mittee to investigate the question of
ex Governor Marks action as to the
proposition Of 5O-4, also to inquire into
the number of bondholders who were
willing to accept the proposition. The
committee met and organized by elect
ing Senator Duggan chairman, and
appointed Senator L. T. Smith and
Representatives Driver and Lester
a subcommittee to search the archives
and ascertain everything they possibly
can on the subject. This is harmless
employment, and We hope the whole
Legislature will join in the search and
do nothing else, or at least nothing
worse, until the expiration of their
twenty days. Then, if the Governor
does not call another session, they may
come home, We presume that it will
not be a difficult matter to ascertain
the number Of bondholders who we're
willing to accept 5O.4. Whether there
were many or few, it has no bearing on
the pending bill to settle at 6O-3-45 6.
Should this committee not arrive at a
definite conclusion, it is not at all
unlikely that Governor Hawkins will
call another extraordinary session to
continue the investigation, This is
the most continuous legislature we
have had since about the days of 1868,
when one session lasted ten months.
