ACCIDENT TO CHILD.-Last Wednes
day evening Jessie, a two. wear old ohild
of Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Brown, of Fields
Gulch, met with peculiar and serious
accident in the following manner: The
little child in its play ran to table
where an older sister was cutting bread,
and put her right hand on the table Just
at the wrong time and place, as it was
struck by the knife, which completely
severed the thumb, leaving the end ly-
ing on the table. As the unfortunate
child was paralyzsd in the left side
about eighteen months ago, and has
never regainsd the use of her left hand.
this recent accident is rendered the
more serious. At last accounts the
wound was healing rapidly Waits5urq

peated disgracoful failures have shown how un-
founded the hopes have been aud how witless
has been its leadership. The only thing that at
this moment prevents the party from taking q
stop, which in few years would almost certainly
bring 1t success, is tho opposition which old and
once-smitten leaders are making to the raising OF
the tariff reform ISSUE Some OF these mon cannot
wait They must have success at once, or few
years hence they may not be here to enjoy 1t.
These are the Counselors who now exhort tho
people to abandon their onslaught on the robber
tariff and make an attack on the system of inter-
nal revenue taxation, which oppresses no one and
yields large return to the government Ifthey

Tho Junior Partner.

To plain people, who are in the habit of
paying for what they buy aud receiving pay
ment for what they sell, the transactions of
the wildcat brokers of Wall street are in
comprehensive After reading the testi-
mony given by Mr.. Ferdinand Ward, Junior
partner in tho banking house Of Grant &
Ward, before referee, the average man will
be puzzled to know why these young bankers
and brokers kopt open place for tho trans.
action of business. The ordinary business of
banker is to receive money on deposit and
lend it out, SO that it may earn something for
the depositor and the banker. If the banker
has a speculative turn of mind he sometimes
invests the money of his customers in doubtful
securities and loses it, but it is easy to
account for his misfortune. He was trying
to mako money. and was acting under a
reasonable motive, although his methods
were not strictly honest.
But according to Mr.. Wards testimony the
| banking firm of Grant & Ward had no such
reason for its existence. He admitted that
he had purchased SOME real estate, but ho
could not tell what he had paid and
although tho purchase money came out of
the bank, 1t does not appear that the prop
erty was held by tho firm, or that 1t was
bought for the benefit of tho firm. Mr. Ward
did not say that he bought stocks or other
securities; and in fact, from his testimony,
we arc left to infer that he was not engaged
in speculations Of any kind, except tho mys-
terious real estate transactions heretofore
mentioned. of which he could give no account
Why, then, did Grant & Ward advertise
themselves as bankers? What operations
were carried on that would justify them In
accepting the caro- of money and issuing cor
tifcates of deposit? Under tho sharp ques
tioning of counsel Mr.. Ward reluctantly dis
closed his method Of doing business and his
reason for running bank. By some means
or other he managed to create an impression
among people who had money to invest that
! tho firm of Grant & Ward had large contracts
with tho government. No person seems to

these contracts, or whether they were likely
to be profitable or otherwise The credulous
depositors apparently assumed that tho firm
had contracts which wero 50 profitable as to
justify them in paying as much as 90 per
cont. month for the use of money
certificate issued by Grant & Ward in
February, 1884, was introduced in evidence
in which they acknowledged the receipt Of
$50 900 for investment, ana promised to pay
tho money back on May IS, 1884, together
with 5000 profit This is specimen of the
certificates issued for hundreds of thousands
probably millious-of dollars. The money
was not invested at all it was simply pu
into the bank and used In taking up certi
ficates Of an earlier date. In this way MI
Ward, who admitted that he had been bank
rupt for two years, carried his firm along

winning Her Wny.

1t is but few days since a married woman
was admitted to practice law in tho Philadol-
phia courts. She had long tusslo with
obdurato judges who held on to the old
preccdents but after her petition had been
dismissed by three courts a majority of
tho judges in the fourth decided in her
favor. Other women who aspire to be law
ycrs will no doubt follow the example Of
this adventurous lady, and the precedent
having been established there will be less
difficulty in securing recognition from the
courts. The number Of female lawyers will
probably mover be large, and, as a rule, they
may not attain great eminonce in the pro-
fession, but it will before many years
become we'll establ shed principle that 3
woman cam OF be debarred from practicing
as an attorney in tho courts on sccou MT of
hor sex.
During tho present week q little band Of
highly cultured Philadelphia ladies won astill
more benefcont victory for their sex. There
is medical college in that city in which women
are educated to be physicians. 1t is not q
quack institution, at which diplomas can be
obtained for small consideration, but it is a
real school of medicine, in which tho scicnce
is taught by experienced and learned ply
sicians. Some sixteen or eighteen years ago
the students at this college obtained permis-
sion from tho trustees Of tho Pennsylvania
hospital to attend the clinics which are held
there almost every day by the members of
the faculty of the jefferson Medical college
for the benefit OF their classes.
When the female students made their
appearance at the clinical lectures they were
hissed and hooted by tho young "sawbones,"
who esteemed it breach of delicacy in n
woman to want to be physician, and they
made things SO uncomfortable for tho poor
girls that not many of them cared to como
back to tho hospital. 1t was generally
believed at tho time that tho learned lecturers
who conducted tho clinics did not greatl y
exert themselves to restrain tho rudeness
and rufiianism of tho male students. Since
then the female physicians have secured u
better standing in the profession, but they
have Travelled over rough road, and the
recognition which they have received has
been tardy and stinted.
At tho opening of the annual session Of tho
Medical society Of the state of Pennsylvania
on Wednesday eight female practitioners of
more or less distinction were, upon motion Of
Dr. Edward jackson, invited to seats in the
convention. There was some opposition to
tho motion, but it was carried by large ma
ority. and one of the ladies, DIR. Alice Bennett,
superintendent of the female department of
the Norristown insane asylum, subsequently
read learned paper on the relation of heart
disease to insanity. This is tho most con-
spicuous victory which tho female physicians
of Pennsylvania have over won. After being
recognized by so largo and respect able body
of physicians as the State Medical society
these courageous pioneers will no longer be
snubhed by the smaller associations.

Mr. connor's Little Romance.

There was o rumor in the street that Jay
Gould and w. e. Connor were to dissolve
partnership in tho firm of w. L. Connor &
Co. There is good authority for stating that
there is no truth is this report. The story
was that Connor seeing tho big break in
Gould's stocks asked him for $2,000000 more
margin and received a refusal, after which
he threw pile of Western Union, Missouri
Pacific, and kindred stocks upon tho market.
"All this is absurd" said Mr.. Connor yester-
day afternoon. "Mr. Gould does not carry
his stocks on margin. He keeps them in the
vaults. AS to money matters, all l can say
is that when no was down south loaned for
him in the street something liko 100000 0.
