In the United States supreme court q
decision has been rendered in the mum.
eipal bond case of the county of Dixon,
Neb., plaintlff in error, against Marshall
Field. This was suit upon past due
coupons of certain bonds issued by the
county of Dixon to the Covington, Col
umbus and Black Hills railroad CON.
pany. The court holds that the county
is not estopped by the recitals in the
bonds from denying their validity, and
that, having been issued in contraven-
tion of the constitution, they are with
out warrant of law and void. The iudg-
ment of the circuit court is reversed and
the cause remanded, with instructions to
enter judgment in favor of Dixon county.
The decision in the above mentioned
case frees Dixon county from the pay
ment of about 100000 and interest.
The Judgment of the federal circuit court
at Omaha was against the county, and
the decision of the supreme court has
been awaited with interest by the parties
interested.

The Farmers Review, Chicago, has
the following summary on winter wheat
prospects, based on replies from over q
thousand of lis correspondents: Winter
wheat has commenced to grow in the
southern districts, but reports of damage
by freezing still continue. The develop.
ment of growth has as yet been small,
but the advent of warm weather would
help the general condition OF the crop
greatly. 1t now looks as il farmers from
Dakota to Illinois will be able to begin
spring seeding soon after April 1st.
Prices offer no encouragement for an in.
crease in the acreage of spring wheat.
bnt from the amount OF new breaking in
the northwest last fall it does not seem
probable the. acreage will be materially
diminished.

Before the Coroner.

Gus Frevert yesterday testified before the
coroner that he sold to Clarence Howard the
man who committed suicide on Monday night,
fifteen grains of morphine on that evening, and
that he frequently sold him the drug in small
quantities, as he was addicted to its use. James
Burns, friend of the dead man, said that
Howard contracted the morphine habit about
two years ago, having first taken it to allay pain
caused by an injury to his arm. Since then he
had used it habitualy Howard had said to him
that he had spent $4,000 in the. last three or
four years, but had never intimated an intention
to commit suicide.
The death of Mrs. Margaret Close is also be-
ing investigated, but the testimony of relatives
has not yet been taken. Amos and Jacob Wood,
who were fishing near the Mchigan-street bridge
at the time testified to having heard splash and
then saw body in the water. The former ran
down to the place and tried to get the body out
with his fish line, but was afraid to go in, as the
water was deep and the current swift An I'M
known young man came along however, threw
off his clothes, and. swimming out to the body,
brought it in, but life was then extinct.

AS She Is Wrote.

The notice of the performance of strangers
of Paris" which appeared in the Sentinel OF
yesterday is the mostappalling specimen of
English as she is wrote" that has been made
public here for years. 1t is as follows:
1.-THE rsinblrst at few minutes past last
night caused the shedding of many opera
cloak intended to grace the auditorium of the
Grand. So, only moderate house saw the up
rising of the curtain on The Strangers of Paris.
As in a battle strong rank and file is more
essential to victory than large roll of officers.
so no caste of loudly advertised artists requi-
site to fill in the vivid situation of this play The
playwright and scenic artists have made a drama
which might almost be represented in panto-
mime. Still there are Characterization in this
play which challenge criticism. Mr.. Dore David
sons Jagon is a refined presentation of the most
murderous species of villainy. The striking
angles of the play are sufficient to enthuse an
audience without the support of voice and ami
mated gestures.
1.-The Strangers of Paris is rich in thrilling
effects. 1t has many points commencing it to
public approval. Its moral influence is good
it's scenes are so novel and striking-that every
portion of the drama will find interest in patron
izing one of the performances which are set for
tonight and tomorrow afternoon and night"

Mr.. Loves subterranean River.

Mr. Samuel Love yesterday invited Journal
reporter to go out in the country with him, to
see place where there was an outlet of that
mysterious subterranean river, of which Mr..
Love is the discoverer and sole proprietor. He
says he has been studying the geological forma-
ton recently, and is convinced that his original
idea. that the river has its source in Lake Mich
igan, is wrong and that it flows from the noun
tains of New York. He thinks it is only about 30
feet under the surface in the eastern part of
the city, and is anxious that the Council should
make an appropriation to Investigate it, and to
afford the city opportunities to protect itself from
the annual overflow of Pogue's run.

Further Spread.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Dr. Salmon, Of the
Agricultural Department, has made report to
Col. Carman, acting Commissioner, on the out
break Of pleuropneumonia among Jersey cattle
in Illinois. He says: This is the most serious
outbreak that has occurred for long time, and
unless prompt action is taken to stop the Jersey
cattle interest in the West will be ruined, and
the pleuro-p pneumonia beyond control Several
of the finest herds in tho State are now infected.
One affected animal in the herd examined to-day
was worth $4,000, and some other animals of
these herds are worth more than that, and
twenty of the herds contain over forty head
each. Dr.. Salmon further says the State
authorities have agreed to cooperate with the
government in exterminating the disease. Act
ing Commissioner Carman has telegraphed him
to take all the meansn necessary and to the
full extent authorized by law. Officials at the
Agricultural Department say this is the first
time pleuro pneumonia has appeared in the
West. They win make every effort to prevent
its spread DR. Salmon, with four or five assist
ants. is at present engaged in trying to discover

were originally shipped The report of DIR.

seven Men suffocated in a Burning Mine.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Aug. 2L-A FIRE broke out
yesterday in the Buckridge mine, on q slope
800 feet from the surface. The company
bought the Greenback colliery adjoining, the
workings of which are higher than those of the
Buekridge collery. The intention was to bore
hole thirty y-six feet in length, from the Green
back to the Buckridge collery, turn the creek
into both collieries, and by flooding them put
out the fire. While the men engaged in this
work to day, gas suddenly poured in from the
burning mine, and before they could escape
seven men fell victims to the deadly gas 1t is
impossible to reach the bodies, as both the mines
are full of gas, and the fire is increasing Eleven
mules were also burned.
The FIRE has not abated, although heavy pumps
have been forcing water down the slope all day.
Both the Buckbridge and Greenback collieries
are full of gas, and a number of men on the sur
face were overcome by the escaped gas. There
is no possibility of the bodies being reached be-
fore tomorrow

COMMANDER scHLEYs REPORT.
But a Part of the Bodies Of the Victims
Mutilated.

New York, Aug. 2L-The Secretary of the
Navy and the Secretary of War, having been in
consultation to-day at the navy-yard Brook
lyn, with Commander Schley, concerning the
Greely relief expedition, from them the following
statement relative to recent reports of the treat
ment of the. bodies of the dead of the Greely
polar expedition is obtained. From the revela-
tons made by exposing some of the bodies, the
inference has been drawn that incisions had
been made in all the bodies, and that
portions Of the flesh had been used either for
food or bait for catching shrimps. The following
authentic extract from Commander Schley's
report, now being prepared for the Secretary of
the Navy, shows a portion of the remains to
have been so treated but that those of
Lieutenant Lockwood, Sergeant Isroel, Ser
geant Linn, Private Schneider, Sergeant Cross,
and Eskemo Christensen were absolutely whole
and untouched. The report says I'm preparing
the bodies Of the dead for transportation in al
coho to St Johns, it was found that the bodies
of six of them-Lieutenant Kislingbury Ser
geant Jewell, Private Whistler, Private Henry,
Private Ellis and Sergeant Ralston-had been
cut and the ieshy parts removed to greater or
less extent All other bodies were intact"
