But his hand got a thorn right in it,
The sport didn't spoil,
For 81. Jacobs Oil,
Cured his hurt in less than a mint.

Slipped on a piece of banana,
Great pain he endured,
But st. Jacobs Oil cured,
He now goes dancing with Hannah.

his arm back of the officer and fired. The

JERE BLACK DEAD.

The Distinguished JurIst and statesman
Passes Away Suddenly Yesterday-His
Career.
YORK, Pa, Aug. 19.-Judge Jeremiah S.
Black died at 10 minutes past o'clock
this morning. Though not unexpected,
lis death was sudden and a shock to the
community. On Saturday morning he
seemed somewhat better, but the improve
ment was too slight to Justify the hope of
his recovery. The unfavorable change be-
gan about 4 in the afternoon and he gradu-
ally grew worse, but remained conscious
almost to the end and died peacefully.
From the beginning of his illness Judge
Black believed he never would recover and
was perfectly resigned. Mrs. Black, Lieut..
Grover, Chauncey F. Black and wife,
Henry Black, Mr.. and Mrs. Hornsby, A.
3. Farquahar and DIR. Melssenhelder were
present. Many kilograms of coincidence
have been received. The funeral will take
place on Tuesday at p. n. The remains
will be inferred at Prospect Hill ceme-
terry, and Dr.. Powers, of the Christian
! church, Washington, will probably oficiate
at the funeral. Shortly before Judge
Black died he said to his wife: "How can
l fear to cross the dark river, when my
| father waits for me on the other shore ?"
| and added, "Would [ were as comfortable
about all leave behind in this world
and then he breathed the following earn
! est prayer:
''Oh, thou most beloved and merciful
| Heavenly Father, from whom l had my be-
! ing and in whom I have trusted, if it be
| thy will, grant that my suffering end and
J ~, 7 ~ oh,
| God bless and comfort Thee my Mary"
! The Immediate cause of his death was
taxemia, produced by the absorption Of
retained urinary secretions prior to the
operation of Thursday. DR.. McKennon, of
! York, who had spent the day with the pa
| tient, noticed the appearance of unfavor-
able symptoms about 4 o'clock in the after
noon. DR.. Meissenhelder, who relieved
DIR. McKennon, also noticed the change for
the worse, and from that hour the increas-
ing gravity of his symp ptoms indicated a
gradual failure of the vital forces. Judge
Black suffered greatly during his illness,
but his last moments were without acute
pain, and he passed quietly away, retain
ing consciousness until within few min
utes of his death.

Special Telegram to the Globe
MILWAUKEE, July CD. NJ. Osborne &
Co. of Auburn, n. Y, manufacturers of
the Osborne self-binder, commenced suit
in the United States circuit court for this
district to-day, against George Esterly &
Son of Whitewater, Wis, in which they
claim damages in the sum of $15O,OOO.
The amount involved being SO large, con-
siderable curiosity has been excited
as to the nature of the COM
ing litigation, and, no complaint
being fled, DIr. Finch, Of Finch, Lynde d
Miller WIS called upon to explain the ma
ture of the suit. He said in substance:
''Mr. E. L Sherman, of Chicago, the gener-
al attoruey of d. NJ. Osborne & Co., IN the
northwest, called upon us this morning
with request to begin the suit immediate
ly, which We have done. D. M. Osborne &
Co. manufacture self-binding harvesters.
Esterly & Son have issued circulars assert
ing that d. M. Osborne g. Co. have in
fringed upon some of their
patents in connection with the Appleby
binder, and have flooded the state of Wis
consin with these circulars in which they
threaten to prosecute ID. NJ. Osborne & Co.
and all their agents and every purchaser
of their machine. Being advised of the
nature of this circular D. M. Osborne g.
Co. wrote to Esterly & Son on the 18th of
June as follows: "To save you and your
agents all trouble in this matter we hereby
agree to furnish you the name and
residence of all purchasers of
our machines as soon after the
harvest has begun as practicable, and
will receive and acknowledge service of
any papers or communications you wish
to make to them or any of them, and will
defend and protect them against any pre-
tended claims you make against them
because of the purchase or use of any of
our machines"
D. M. Osborne g. Co. claim that these
circulars in many particulars are untrue;
that Esterly & Son have issued them
maliciously and with intent to injure their
business. The case is rested upon the
broad principle that circulars so issued are
calculated to injure them in their trade,
because if purchaser believes the
statement in the circulars
that when he goes to D.
