JUDGE DRUNfMoND APPRECIATED
For services extendidg through two
months in settling an estate worth $32,
900, three Milwaukee lawyers presented
bills aggregating $4,000. When the
bills were submitted to Judge Drummopd
for approval, he said
Gentlemen, you consider yourselves
good lawyers How much more are
your services worth to your clients than
mine to the people? You have charged
$4,000 for sixty days service. Could
you not be content, each of you, to take
my pro rata for the same time? These
charges are Infamous They are such
as men who are scoundrels and thieves at
heart would make. This charge of SIS,
600 is cut down to 81, 500, those of SIS,
900 each to $500. Repeat such piece
Of rapine in this court and [ will disbar
every one of you" We don't know
what Judge Drummond's politics are, but
we would like to see him Chief Justice
of the United States Supreme Court

of his head, and was spoken of by his
friends as Blaines feather or plume.

Before Judge Netheway. 0
Although the number of cases before his
honor yesterday morning were not manya
they made up for that lack in the toughness
of the cases.
Samuel Estus, who came from the wilds of
Pine City, and who, on his visits, constantly
takes too much tangle leg, got hilariously
tipsy again and was run in. Somehow he
canont stand the strength of the Saltwater
whisky, and the noble pine of the north seem
to make him dry. He usually assists in re-
plenishing the exchequer, and this time he
added 81. so to the funds.

sesscd S12.50 or twelve days. and for being
drunk $3.50 or seven days. He was also
charged with resisting arrest found guilty,
but the sentence was suspended.
Phil Hauley, young hudlum, and appar-
emily very bay one, was charged with being
drunk, for which he got 81 so or seven days.
He denied charge of indecent exposure,
but It was proven against him, and he got
S25 and costs of thirty days. the sentence
was apparently heavy, but not as heavy as
the young BLACKBOARD deserved. The re-
spectacle community will be protected by
the police, and Judge Netheway will dose the
criminal classes until they give Saltwater
wide berth. All good citizens, and those
who have the interest of the city at heart will
support them in the maintenance of law

Bankers as. Lawyers.

The game of base ball on Wednesday after
loon in the base ball park, between the
Bankers and Lawyers, was witnessed by a
large number of people, amongst whom wa
goodly sprinkling of ladies. The game
was much enjoyed by those present, and the
amusement the professions afforded the
spectators showed itself in the hearty cheers
and laughter called forth. The men of the
ledger were too much for Blackstone, al
though it was nip and tuck the score stand
Ing Fl for the bankers and 20 for the law
yers. 1t was amusing to see the various
payers, with faces as serious as II the fate
of empires depenced upon their action, yet
when hot ball would come toward them
they would dodge, after making feint that
they had put forth all their power to catch it,
One of the players, and he prominent law
yer, required only three or four jumps to go
from base to base, whilst others looked as if
rolling would be the most rapid way of get
ting there. An ex-judge would no doubt
hold on with more tenacious grip to law
suit than he did to the balls, especially If
there WIS anything to be made But there
are no tricks in law, although 1t was rumored
that one of the players on that side had been
imported expressly for the occasion. But
you know they wouldn't do such thing.
The bankers also had one or two that could
hardly be entered as ledgermen. The objects
sought were attained by the game. They
had grand time, lots of exercise, sore hands
and wearicd limbs. Only five innings were
played, as the unwonted exercise made them
all as hungry as wolves, and they are all men
who like to be on hand at mealtime We
give the players and the positions In which
teey were to have the game started, but these
positions were maintained but a short each
one looking for a soft berth. One umpire
was not enough, Mastman giving place to
Anderson. Altogether the game was pleas
ant time, and the lawyers are looking forward
10 see whom they may vanquish. They want
10 lick somebody and they are about challeng-
ing the medical profession of the city, but
we fear the medicos win physic them. There
will be lots Of amusement at any rate.

A lfnrninn Eire

Yesterday morning at 2:05 fire broke out
IN the building on Second street, occupied by
John De Gras as a boarding house, with Mas
Thomas Downs. Mr.. De Gras was awakened
by the heavy breathing of his wife, and found
her almost suffocated by smoke. He caught
up the baby and endeavored TO get out by

one of the servant girls insensible and had
much difficulty in getting her out, as she
vas quite feshy. She had not stitch of

L around her. She had narrow escape.
The other inmates were all got out safely.
Soon after the fire was discovered the fire de-

streams PLAYING on the building. 1t is most
surprising that the building was not totally
consumed, as the hre appears TO have at

burnt to cinders, and Ne fire was

the clapboards and the ceilings.

JOHN KELLYS ATTITUDE.
The Idea of His Having Influence
With the Laboring Classes
Ridiculed.

WASHINGTON, July 31.--A Democratic
member of congress who has recently been
in New York told the GLOBE correspondent
that he had while there, long talk with Mr..
John Kelly. He says Kelly admitted his
disappointment at the nomination of Cleve-
land, and reiterated his opinion that theIlatter
is weak candidate, but he said TaInmany
would support the ticket. Mr.. Kelly declared
that he was laboring quietly to
bring the workingmen of Tammany
around to Cleveland He said they were
very bitter against the head of the ticket and
that at first they refused to listen to any argu-
ments in his favor. He added that he hoped
to persuade the element of Tammany to con-
sent to support Cleveland, then formal action
in the ratification of the ticket would be
taken. He gave the difficulty of dealing with
his declaration of allegiance to the party
nominees.
A prominent Democrat who stood by and
listened to the report of the interview with
Kelly ridiculed the idea that bona fide work
ingmen constituted any great proportion of
the Tammany organization. Said he:
If workngmen make up an import
ant element of John Kelly's
following he always leaves them out of the
crowds he takes to political gatherings. /
have seen the Tammany crowd at several
National Democratic conventions. / have
been among them, talked with them and
have observed them pretty closely, and as
whole they are about as tough citizens as l
ever got among Most Of them looked like
broken-down prize fighters. Some had
broken noses, another would be minus part
of an ear, another without an eye and so on.
l don't think the workingmen Of Tammany
are numerous enough to cause much trouble.

A Daring Escape.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 31.-One of the most
daring escapes on record was made from the
Riverside penitentiary yesterday afternoon.
Rufus Connor. prisoner who was confined
in one of the cells on the upper tier, was
observed by guard working at his window
with Ratchet. He explained he was doing
some work for the assistant warden and so
allayed any suspicious that may have been
aroused. Ten minutes later he had sue
ceeded in prying open the window, and with
Il short leap reached the roof of an I'd
joining wing of the pfson. From this
he descended to the boiler room, passing
within three feet of the chief engineer on his
way to the yard. He carried his Ratchet with
him. but succeeded in passing through the
yard and out into the street without occasion
70 use it. As soon as he was clear of the
prison he walked leisurely through rolling
mill near by and then disappeared, and no
trace has been found of him since. Common
had served ten years of a sentence of twenty
three years for burglary. Before his capture

The crops between this city and st. Paul

II. Pasfeur aud His Had Dogs.

NJ. Pasteur, whose researches in the germ
theory are known to. and closely watched by,
scientific men, and followed with interest by
the public throughout the world, is said to
have nearly attained his object in the of by
drophobia, and will probably read most i'm
portant paper before the Academy of
Sciences shortly. NJ. Pasteur possesses
quite collection of mad dogs, destined for
experimental purposes. The unfortunate
animals are kept in a building annexed to
NJ. Pasteur's laboratory az the rue Ecole Nor
male Superieure, in the rue d'Ulm, forming
part of the old buildings of the College
Rollin. At present there are thirty-six dogs,
nearly one hundred rabbits, several mon
keys and guinea pigs, all in more or less
rabid state. The illustrious savaut is bring
ing to close his thorough inquiry into hy
drophobia, and the result will crown the
series of his great discoveries on hospita, dis
eases and animal vaccination. He has sue
ceeded in inoculating animals with hydropho-
bia in different degrees; and by the applica-
ton of the method so successful in blood
spoisoning, or carbon diseases in cattle
namely, by the incubation of virus attenua-
ted in intensity-has now discovered that
dogs and all animals generally NAV be rem
dered proof against the dread disease by
true vaccination. Some of the dogs on
which he is experimenting, inoculated three
or four times during the last three years,
are still alive and well, and henceforth proof
against hydrophobia- The dogs used by NJ
Pasteur are provided from the Paris pound
or fourriere, in the rue de Poissy, and cost
him two francs head. After certain
lapse of time all dogs at the fourriere not
claimed nor sold are slaughtered. The ami
mails handed over to VI. Pasteur are divided
by him into two categories; the first, called
witnesses are doomed to death within a
given time-that is the period OF the incuba-
ton of the rabid virus with which they are
totally inoculated; the second are merely
subjected to rabic vaccination. The compa-
rison between the effects OF natural virus
and the same in an attenuated form is thus
easily established. Some of the dogs sue
cumb and others escape the disease, accord
ing to whether they were or were not vac
einated. All the animals are kept within
specially constructed iron cages. the DISPOSE
ton of which allows of the dogs being at
