DR.. HubbeIl was a son of the late
judge Levi Hubbell, of Milwaukee,
and agrandson of the late Lieut.. Gov.
Beal| of Fond du Lac, both men of ex-
ceptinal brilliancy and popularity.
"Gov" Beall held several Offices of DIS
tinctDp, served through the war with
great credit, and about sixteen years
ago vent west. He was killed in Mon
tana u quarrel growing out of some
thing he had published in
a dashing border newspaper
of which he was the editor. Judge Levi
Hubtell, father of the doctor was
graduate of Union College, New York,
and a one time acted as private secretary
for the famous Gov. Marcy. AT the age
of % ne was a member of the New York
Legislature, and subsequently served a
term as attorney general of the state of
New York. He came to Milwaukee in
1S41, and became the senior member of
the lew firm of Hubbell, Finch & Lynde.
His polished manners and high
orato,ical ability conspired to make him
one o the most conspicuous figures in the
early history of the city. His social ac-
quairtance was very extended, and his
law practice large, and remunerative for
those days He was in 194S, imme-
diatey after the admission of Wisconsin
as state, elected to the judgeship of the
second circuit, consisting of Mil
waukee, Waukesha, Jefferson and
Dane counties. The circuit judges
then sat together at stated times,
forming the supreme court. In
1851 he ran for the office second time,
Asahel Finch, his former law partner
beng his opponent. The contest was a
bite, one, but Hubbell was again VIC
foremost supporters. Two years later,
however, Mr.. Ryan appeared as the at
torney for the prosecution in an attempt
to inpeach Judge Hubbell for corrup-
tion and malfeasance in Office. The
articles of impeachment were presented
at the bar of the House in Madison by
W. L. Wilson, who had q special grew
anceagainst Judge Hubbell, having been
the foreman of the jury ia the famous
Radcliffe murder case, to whom, when
they brought in verdict of "not guilty"
the Judge had said, Gentlemen, may
God have mercy on your consciencesr
The trial ofthe impeachment case before
special session of the legislature occu-
pied twenty EIGHT days, and resulted in
Judge Hubbells aequittal. The coca
sion of his return home after the trial
was turned into one of the
grandest ovations ever rendered to cit
izen of Milwaukee. A special train of
eighteen cars laden with his friends
went out from Milwaukee, meeting him
at Waukesha, and bringing him home
in triumph to the city. A cannon and a
band of music were aboard the train,
making the air ring, all along the way.
The militia escorted the judge from 'he
depot to the old United States Hetcl,
the crack hoetelry of those da |. was
evening, and East Water Sect was
lighted up with bonfres as they passed
! along. Col. George 81. Walker,

cabs flashed through the downtown streets yester-
day afternoon and caught up a good many quarters.
They attracted attention wherever they, went and
many took "a ride in them partly as a novelty and
partly from curiosity TO how they looked inside.

SYMPATHY FOR Mr.. WALLING.

The inspectors and captains of police yesterday
expressed sympathy for Superintendent Walling on
account of the effect which his testimony before the
Assembly Investigating Committee on Monday had
produced Many of them said that Mr.. Walling's
mental and physical strength had been under-esti-
mated, and that he suffering from temporary
weakness, due more to recent OverwOrk than to his
age. The Police Commissioners held an ,unimpor-
tant meeting, but, although theydiscussedIpr
the effect which the Superintendent testimony
might have on the public, they took no action re-
garding him. They said, after the meeting, that
they would take 10 steps at present to cause MIR.
Wallings retirement. He could not be retired ex-
cept upon certificate by the Board Of
Surgeons that he was unfit for duty,
unless he resigned made application for a
pension. They would not advise him to resign under
fire. Commissioner Matthews said that Mr. Wall
ing had been the man most cOnspcuousfOr integrity
and efficiency in the police force since the organiZa
ton of the Metropolitan Department, and he was
entitled to much consideration for what he had
done In the service of the city. 1t said to be
the wish of the Commissioners that Mr. Walling
should take short vacation forrest and recreation.
Mr.. Walling performed his duties as usual yester-
day, being IN his office most of the day. He de-
clined to make any statement regarding his health
or his intentions for the future.

WESTERN COAL SHIPPERS.

meeting of the Western Anthracite Association
was held yesterday at the Office of T.. N. Fusbe,
coal agent of the Erie Railroad. 1t lasted for more
than four hours, but was without defute results.
The members have endeavored to secure from the
railroads a uniform tariff but TO this end it has
been found necessary that the railroads should
agree a division of the business OF coal trans
pOrtatiOn. Ii is understood that the plan has not
been perfected and that other meetings will have to
be held. The absence of PTesIdent Sloan, of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western one of the
principal coal carriers, prevents tho immediate
adoption of any plan for division of the transpor
tation business. Until an agreement by the rail-
roads can be reached shippers Of coal will secure
the best rates offered by open competition.
