for their respective uses, the remain
ing II 500 to be at the disposal of
the Secretary of the State Agricul-
tural Society. This bill it is said
was drawn and passed in the interest
of manipulators of the Agricultural
Society, and without the approval of
the other societies interested, which
are now practically unit in de-
nouncing it and declaring they will
have the law repealed at the next
session Of the Legislature. Informa-
ton that the outcoming combined
report will contain a lot of free
trade matter that was never present
ed at any meeting of either of the
societies, but inserted evidently for
political effect by the democratic
Secretary of the State Agricultural
Society, intensities disfavor of the
manner of publishing and distribut-
ing the reports
1t is whispered that had the city
authorities taken the precaution to
let it be known that they desired to
refund the city debt Of $4,000 at
per cent. they might have sold the
bonds at q premium instead of at
par The bank that takes the bonos,
it is said, is already negotiating
their sale at an advance of several
thousand dollars, which might have
been secured to the city treasury had
proper effort been made by city
officials having the matter in charge

Fellows was we'll attended; about

Ira w. Baker has secured YER
dict of $4,000 damages against the
city of Madison, for personal in
juries received in 1879 by being
thrown from load Of bay through
the means of bad crossing on
street of this city. This is the third
time the case has been tried. First
a Dane county jury gave verdict
of $4,000, which was set aside by
the circuit Judge; and second, q
Jefferson county trial resulted in
verdict of $4,000 which was set
aside as excessive by the Supreme
court. In the light Of these facts
and findings, the third verdict is
suggestive of the uncertainties of
juries.
The Democrat of yesterday re-
ports as follows concerning the in
iured in the capitol collapse of No
vember 8th:
James Dowell, who was not ex-
pected to survive twenty-four hours
after his frightful injuries, seems to
be getting along nicely. There are
many who have hopes that he will /
get off his bed in no far distant
future; but he will never be in a
condition to do any sort of labor. T.
Ills case is a most remarkable one

Michael Burke is out with a crutch
and cane, but it will be months be. .
fore he will be able to resume labor
His left knee is stiff at present.
p. O'Laughin is able to get about,
but is very weak lie went through |
a severe seige.
Cyrus Schenck is gaining strength .
rapidly, and is at work.
Patrick Carey moves about by the .
aid of a crutch and cane"
The injured who resided at other
points, have all gone to their homes,
and are understood to be recovering. |
All expense for doctors, nurses, med
icines, and otherwise sustaining and .
caring for these unfortunates and |
their families, have been borne by /
the state, under direction of the
Governor, with confidence that the
