much valuable information. MT. Sherman, of Illinois, said that the line of the address was parallel with the report made by MT. Field and moved that the consideration of the address be placed in connection with that of Mr. Field. On motion of MT. Willis the matter was tabled. The paper by Simon Sterne on Defective and Slipshod Legislation" was re ferred to the committee on law reform. The committee reported favorably on the matter. Professor Baldwin, of Yale, read a paper on occasional criminal and the manner of protection against them and their punishment. The paper on motion was laid over until the next meeting. Several other committees reported and the reports were adopted. Two or three committees stated that they had not held meetings and were unble to report. A large attendance was present at the evening session ow- ing to the announcement that the F1eld-Dillon plan in favor of sim pllfying and expediting the ad ministration of justice by the courts was to be discussed. Ex-Congressman B. A. Willis, of New York, introduced resolution copies printed for distribution where they would do the most good and supported it by an earnest speech. Henry w. Barnett, of Washington, opposed the limitation of appeals as proposed in the report. MT. Budd, of Pennsylvania. thought the report strong argument in favor of qualification. w. B. Hill, of Georgia, followed in an eloquent eulo- gy of the report and instanced the success of qualification in Georgia. MT. c. c. Bonney, of Illinois, thought there were many admira- ble things in the report, but opposed the resolution. Thomas J. Semmes, of Louisiana, favored the resolution in an earnest and effective speech, strengthening his argument with illustrations of the workings of the code in Louisiana. At this point the dis cussion was adjourned until 10 8. m. to- morrow

The Auction Sale of the Hartford
 Telegram and the Fix That En-
 sued-Probably No Sale.
 The sale at auction of the Hartford Tele- gram yesterday was demurred to by Colonel Graves, the editor of the paper, who said: 'tIf the draft is honored of course the trans fer will be made at once to MT. Hayden. In that case shall at once proceed to get out a new The Hartford Telegram from another publication office. do not think MT. Hay den has any legal claim to the title. That and the good will were not sold. There was fatal defect in the advertisement. Read this: All the property of the Hartford Tele- gram Printing company, insolvent, consist ing of the books and accounts, printing press, engine, boiler, type, material and fixtures, to title or good will in that, do youa Is it a fatal defect? Yes, am convinced it is and I have authority for so declaring. MT. Hay den, if he buys anything, will buy only the material things-the presses, type, fixtures, etc. My new paper I shall serve to my cus- toners in the morning if MT. Hayden's draft is honored."
 Judge Birdsall was of Col. Graves opin- ion. He said he held the company's notes lOI YO,OOO Ol boI1oWOu 1lOuCN cAO W oRo oAO concerns largest creditor.
 The trustee, MT. Fowler of Hartford, held that the title had gone with the rest of pro perty to the buyer.
 MT. Hayden said he had rendered no draft in payment for the Telegram.
 At 2:42 o'clock MT. Hayden and his coun- sel met Trustee Fowler and wished him to defend to them the name and good will, which were worth $1 ,50O. He could not do this and counsel held that the omission of ''name and good will" from the saleadvertise- ment was defect. They refused to pay $4, 100 under the circumstances. At 3:20 the consultation was still in prog ress, but the trustee said there was probably no sale and that a new attempt would be made to dispose of the property. At o'clock a telegram was received from ex-Gov. Loomis ''What does he say-that the draft was all right?" "All wrong," said the trus- tee.
 The Telegram will be got out st the old stand this morning under the trustees direc- tiop.

A strange Disease Among Cattle.

CHICAGO, Aug. BOA strange malady has COWS, in the neighborhood north of the Un- ion stock yards and extending to the Bridge port slaughter houses in the southwestern part of the city. The disease appears to be in all cases fatal. It is thought the afflicted cattle show symptoms of Texas fever. When the spleen is examined after death it is found swollen to three times it's natural size. The district in which the desease is confined con- tains many patches of open prairie upon which COWS graze in herds. Texas cattle are frequently driven into Bridgeport through this district, and it is believed that the dis ease was caught from these passing herds.
