and to show the peculiar effect it has had
on the people of that community, we pub

died in the police court last Monday, from
the supposed effects of lOng-continued in
tOxicatiOn. An inquest was held to-day. at
which County Physician Bluthardt created
4 sensation and caused the officers faces to
pale when he testified that Erb died of
chronic inflammation of the brain, and was
no drunkard, but poor, sick man. 1.-The
great mistake was" he said. ''that the DO
lice did not diagnose the case" He was
carried into the station in a semi-uncOn-
sclOus condition, booked for drunkenness.
when he was Onlysick This only goes to
argue the necessity Of a medical examiner
at police stations, to guard against the dying
OF prisoners through ignorance of officers
In the post mOrtem examination no marks
of violence were found upon his body. The
policemen examined were Hugh 4. Spring
and Officer Damon, who thought they
had in no wise exceeded their prerogative
The jury returned verdict that Jacob Erb
died OF chronic meningitis, paralysis of the
heart and lungs following.

Next to Mrs. GRANT the presidential
widow most comfortably provided for is Mrs.
GARFIELD, who has her home at Mentor
and one at Cleveland, with her annuity and
the income of $500 900 contributed soon

strong of Washington arrived at the Palmer
house this morning from the West. I'M
mediately after breakfast Gen. and Col
Sheridan PAID a visit to army headquarters
and had consultation with Gems. Schofield
and Williams. Gen. Sheridan was asked
by representative of the GLOBE to give
an account of the condition of affairs in
the Indian and cattle countries as he found
them. The general replied: Il hope you
viii excuse me from giving any of the
details of affairs as l found them. l have
made up no report as yet, and whatever l
have to say must be first said to the presi-
dent. You can see it would be manifestly
improper for NE to make my report to
the newspapers first. If you will
see me in Washington, after have talked
to the president, may be able to give you
some information" Gen. Sheridan said he
had received no direct adviceS, by telegraph
or otherwise, regarding the Obsequies of
Gen. Grant. He had desired to be one of
the pall-bearerS, and was gratified to have
been selected by the president for such an
honor. Col Sheridan, in lieu of news,
very willingly told how hot and dusty a trip
the military party had enjoyed, and when
asked if he had seen many Indians, and if
they meant TO make trouble, or what he had
learned about the grievances of the cattle
men, he replied that he had taken ObServa-
tons of nothing but the weather. and had
been kept busy watering the mules.

10 the Editor or the Globe.
In your issue of the 26th inst. under the
heading "a Disabled Workman" you pub
lish complaint against us at the instiga-
ton of James Caldwell. The facts of the
case are as follows: Caldwell came to the
hospital to be treated for an injury he re-
ceived some years ago, viz: broken leg.
which caused the veins of his leg to enlarge
and varicOse ulcers to- form. This, of
course, while not entirely disabling him.
is sort OF inconvenience, and any over
work or exercise would cause the leg to
swell and disable him for short time
This was the condition when he came to
the hospital on July 5. On July 10 he was
discharged after the acute symptoms had
disappeared, leaving his leg in
the same condition as it has
been in since he met with the accident
five wears ago. Our tickets are sold to men
for what may happen hereafter and not for
what has already taken place. We except
all diseases; likewise all accidents that he
has or may have received before he buys
the ticket, and it is so stated in the con-
tract that we are under with Mr. Caldwell.
There was no evidence of any recent in
jury having happened to Mr.. Caldwell
when he was admitted to the hospital.
Hence the SIS per week which he claims
was not paid.

The standard on CHURCHILL.

LONDON, July 3I.-The Standard. which
is the accepted Tory organ. uses the follow
ing language in its attack on Lord Ran
dOlph Churchill rs a leader of the COnser-
vatiye party: ITO speak plainly. Lord
Randolph Churchill has been pulled in the
press with admirable asSiduity by well-Or-
ganized league, which is always ready TO
cry 'prOdigiouS' whenever he opens his
mouth, but it is all in vain. The Liverpool
incident shows the extent of the alarm
which Churchill'S laundering and buster
ing nave inspired within the bosom of his
party. 1t were thousand times better that
the Conservatives should be again in the
minority than that they should be exposed To
the humiliation of such things as Church
Ills attacks on Earl SpencerS government
of Ireland. Unless the government dis
avows these attacks, it Will feel the bad
effects in the future more seriously than it
has yet contemplated. The truth is. Lord
Randolph Churchill has been much over
rated. If his pranks are endured longer he
will smash the government and the COnser-
vative party. We will follow the Marquis
of Salisbury, but We will not follow this
overgrown school boy without knowledge
sufficient to fathOm his ignorance of states
manship. 1t is common saying that Lord
Randolph Churchill is equally radical with
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, and the popular
estimate is not far wrong.
