developed in the trial were about as fol-
lows: Constable Schutter attached a bill

afternoon, continuing until night when

when it was resumed. The jury went out
about $50 o'clock and remained in

p. m. when they were discharged, standing
four for the plaintiff and two for the de-

Yesterday afternoon about 4 O'Clock
Capt. Moore, mail agent between Evans
vile and Paducah met with great if not
fatal misfortune while in this city. lie
came down on the Fowler from Paducah,
instead of the agent appointed for the bust,
and while his mail was being prepared for
him at the Postoffice, he went, as was his
cOstom whenever he came down here, to
make brief call at the residence of Mr..
Z. c. Ford, just across the street from the
Postoffice. The ladies of the house received
him and they had barely exchanged few
pleasant words when the Capt. complained |
Of feeling very sick, and he was about to
leave when he fell PROSTATE to the floor in
the parlor, stricken helpless with paralysis.
The ladies managed to place him on a
lounge and then sent to the Postotfice for |
Capt. Murphy and Mr.. Lippitt, who came
Immediately and summoned medical aid.
DR.. Dunning responded hastily and did all
that could be done for the stricken man
with some good results. Capt. Moores
left side was entirely helpless and at first |
his mind seemed to be affected, but became |
clearer after little. He was carried to
hack and conveyed to the Fowler where he |
was comfortably placed in one of the large |
state rooms. When the boat left here he |
was no better. His left side was still en-
tirely numb and his mind was wandering. |
He is a large fine looking man, about fifty |
years Of age, and has family of wife and
four children living at Evansville He is
well known and popular all along the river
and his affection will call forth many ex-
pressions and regret.

valued at $2l,5O; and Mr.. Sargent lost two
white shirts and several handkerchlefs,
valued at S2.25. Elliott and Beede were
tramps. The former came here several days
ago and asked for employment of Mr..
Short, who granted the request. Beede
came day or two later aud formed sort
of tramp partnership with Elliott. To.
gether they concoCted the scheme of steal
ing the clothing, and yesterday morning
while Mr.. Short was momentarily away
from the shop, Elliott took all the clothing
he could find, after having told Beede to go
up to the Illinois Central sand-house and
wait for him there, and went down to the
narrow-gauge road near the oil works, ex-
changed his old clothing for the new, and
walked up the track leaving his partner
in the lurch. But Chief Myers, after cap
turing Beede at the Illinois Central sand
house, got on the track of Elliott, followed
him for about seven miles up the narrow
gauge road and there, learning from ne
gro that a white tramp had cut through the
woods after asking the nearest way to the
Illinois Central Road, he turned into the
