SUP ERlOR COURT.
rME sIGNATURE OF WILLIAM
l., REYNOLDS-W WASIT
FORGEDr

Court resumed proceedings Saturday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, with Chief Justice
Comegys and associates Wootten and
Houston on the bench.
James Booth, Esq, made application
TO the Court for the discharge Of Sewall
Starking, who was convicted at the May
term of Court of 1880, of burglary, and
sentenced TO an imprisonment of three
wears. The Court said that an order for
his discharge would be granted in ten
days. provided there were no other
charges against him. The bond case
was then resumed.
Richard BrOck3om testified that he
was present at Mr.. Bratton's house, and
saw William Bratton sign the bond.
Richard Hill recalled in re-buttal,
who testified William L. Reynolds had
told him in May, 1879, that his name
was forged on the bond, and at the re-
quest of Rcynold, he informed Mr.. Her
bert the same day.
ON cross-examination by Mr.. Gray,
he said that he did not tell Mr.. Herbert
that Reynolds had disposed of his prop
erty and he could not get anything ont
of him. The witness is the Step-tathcr
of William l.. Reynolds, and was acting
for him.
William l.. Reynolds was recalled,
and denied that he had advised Samuel
Roberts to levy on the property Of the
other parti =. Mr.. Hill advised Mr..
Roberts to sell the property OF Thomas
Bratton, but the witness took no part
in the conversation. When the bond
was spoken about, the witness was un-
der the impression that reference was
made to the bond of 1875, which he had
signed. Did not know that his name
was on the 1876 bond until May 1879
The witness denied having any conver-
satiou with Mr. Williams in reference
to the bond.
William Herbert was recalled by
Mr. Gray in sur-rcbuttal. Mr.. Lore
objected to his giving further testimony,
and after argument between counsel
the objection was withdrawn, and the
witness testified that Mr.. Hill hah told
him that Reynolds had sold his land,
and he could not get anything out of
him.
This was the last witness examined,
and Mr.. EmmonS opened the argument
to the jury and claimed that it had been
conclusiveIy shown that the name of
William l.. Reynolds to bond of 1876
had been forged. He was followed by
Attorney-General Gray, who made an
able and eloquent argument, in which
he contended that it had been proved
beyond doubt that Reynolds had signed
the bond and was now cndeavoring to
shirk the responsibility. Mr.Gray did not
conclude until nearly o'clock, when
Court adjourned until 10 o'clock this
morning.

Europe has just produced a crop Of
beet-roots sugar estimated at two million
tons. Two-thirds of all the sugar con-
sumed in European countries is pro-
duced from the s%ugar-beet.
Twenty years ago it required five
tons of coal to make a ton of iron rails.
Now a ton of steel rails may be pro-
duced from the ore with half that
amount of coal.
Compressed paper doors are de-

DIR. Francis, of Newport, says that
the normal beat of a healthy heart is

under a tonic treatment.
BY Welding together iron and steel,
M. Kiel has obtained a product which
is stated to possess the characters of
both metals. This so-called steel-iron
has been prepared in five ways, viz,
steel by the side of iron, steel between
two layers of iron, iron between two
layers of steel, a core of steel sur
rounded by iron, and a core of iron sur
rounded by steel.
Sweet potatoes ought to be a very
profitable crop in the South, judging by
the immense quantities produced to tho
acre when properly managed. Mr.. E.
M. Hudson, of New Orleans, the Vice
President of the Gulf States Fruit
Growers Association, raised $40 bushels
to the acre last year, and he states that
as much as 1000 bushels to the acre can
be produced. :,
"A new electric light has appeared
in Paris, which is called sunlight on
account of its mellow luster. The light
is formed by inserting two carbons in
holes bored into a block of marble in
such a manner that the points of the
carbons are separated by a thin parti-
ton Of the marble. An electric current
is passed through the carbons, and in
traversing the shell of marble causes it
to become whitehead, emitting a most
agreeable light.
Just because a Pittsburgh pastor
persisted in reading the names OF par

church going and the amount of their

for nothing, but they didn't want the
whole thing given away in that manner.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE formal no.
tice given by the Chicago, Milwaukee
81 st. Paul railroad of its intention to
withdraw from the pool after the ex-
piration of thirty days, has provoked
nearer an approach to real excitement
than any kindred event in railroad
circles here for a number of years.
Whatever contests have occurred be
tween the Western roads have been
strictly maintained during the past
twelve years, and bre ak in the Oma-
ha rates has been looked upon as in
volVing the entire Southwest. The
present. move of the st. Paul road is
deemed by the cooperating lines as
the opening battle, and that an I'M
compromising fight will follow, unless
the demands it is likely to make of
the other four roads are conceded to.
A published statement made here says
that the dissatisfaction has grown out
of the fact that the road has carried
the Western cattle coming to this
market under an arrangement made
by combination of Western cattle
men along this line, after an attempt
had been made to secure better terms
from the pool, il possible, and in
uOHC lllCtO l11lO nOu1NA C11h Al a AbR1N1AN
between the roads. 1t is stated that
combination of cattle men offered to
put up an enormous sum of money,
guaranteed, to send their cattle over
one line, provided it would give the
combination special rates. Having
failed to make terms with any one
line or pool company another course
was proceeded with in shipping cattle
over single line. Competing roads
decline to make any statement this
morning beyond the declaration thai
truce will certainly be maintained
for thirty days and that meeting
will be heldin the meantime, when al
effort will be made to avoid an opeI
fight. Said one prominent official, 20
course, if we cannot agree upon term
we will have to fight it out. Every
body knows what that means"

HOW 20 Get sIeeu.

This is to many persons a matter of
high Importance. Nervous persons,
who are troubled with wakefulness
and excitability, usually have strong
tendency of blood to the brain, with cold
extremities. The pressure of the blood
on the brain keeps it in a stimulated,
or wakeful state, and the pulsations
in the head are often painful. Let
such rise and chafe the body and ex-
tremities with a brush or towel, or
rub smartly with the hands, to pro-
mote circulation and withdraw the
excessive amount of bloed from the
brain, and they will fall asleep in a
few moments. A cold bath, or a
sponge bath and rubbing, or a good
run, or rapid walk in the open air, or
going up or down stairs a few times
Just before retiring, viii aid in equal
izing circulation and promoting sleep.
These rules are simple and easy of APP
plication in castle or cabin.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Mr. Schoon-
maker, whose name has been con-
nected with the discussions of the ca
ble service in the Central News suit
in London, was seen to-day by an as
ISOLATED press reporter. He said he
objected to what had been said of him
and would like to be set right. A
representative of the Philadelphia
Press had misrepresented his CONVEX
sation. What he did say was, he
never sent out cable he did not re-
ceive from cable lines. He said, fur
ther, his arrangement was this: He is
supplying two classes of services
by cable-one to the United press
association and one to the Associated
press papers. He had an agent in
London who makes up his reports,
which he supplies to the United Press
and addresses it ~. p. A." and an
other agent who prepares the matter
for the associated cables, which he
sells to the associated press papers,
The address of this is "City," and the

therefore, no connection between the
two reports, except as implied by his
