TO be Democratic in doctrine. upon
which the nation is founded. The
platform pledges support TO Pres
ident Cleveland's administration and

A Queer Suit.

CHICAGO. June 29.-Charles H. Fox,
of Rockford. Ills, has brought suit in
the circuit court against Geo. w. Fox
for an accounting. Fox is a grandson
of William H. Price, who went to Cali
fornia during the gold fever Of 1919. and
has never been heard from since. When
Price left he was the owner of planning
mill property in this city. worth about
$50 900, which he left in care of his
brother-in-law, George w. Noble, who
was to conduct the same in trust and
pay OF the Indebtedness. rhe com
plainant alleges that Noble was poor
when he assumed management
OF the business, and that il was
always the belief in the Price
family that the father was foully
dealt with. Fox gives it as his belief
that the death was caused through a
conspiracy in which, Noble, Walker
and Wheeler were implicated. and that
as a result, Noble. by farther con-
spring, managed to secure possession
OF all the Price estate. Noble died
December 18th, 1885, leaving the estate
of which William I. Eaton and Gilbert
C. Noble are the administrators.

From the CAPITAL.

WAsHISGToS, June 29.-The general
deficiency appropriation bill reported
to the House, fails to appropriate the
$4,000, 900 necessary to meet the ex.
penses of government transportation
over non-subsidized branches of the
land z, ant railroads. The estimate under
the head OF Central Pacific Railroad in
cluded an item OF $735, 100 from the
War Department for the Transports
ZION of troops and supplies during the
present fiscal year. The postoffice de-
partment also sent in an item OF S17l, l53
on the aame account during the next
fiscal year. The postoffice department
also sent in an item of s616, VA for mail
transportation over the sane branches.
Auditor Williams was heard before the
committee and explained that these APP
proprIations were made necessary by &
decision of the Supreme Court to the
effect that compensation could
not be withheld from the rail
road on account of service per
formed on a non-subsidized branch
lines. The committee, however, has
dIsallowed the items on the ground
that the real issue has never been in
vestigated in court. d that the
government has the right TO set of as
against these claims of the company
the millions of dollars annually paid
by the government on account OF
the interest on railroad bonds.

HOT WEATHER IN NEW YORK
Suffering Humaaity In the Parks All
Night.

Blakely Hall in the Brooklyn Eagle:
Three men were leaning disconsolately
against the rail il front of Delmonico's
Thursday night, wondering II they
would be able to live through the hot
aud murky night, when the fourth man
drifted along with a palm leaf fan,
large nose, a white waistcoat, low shoes
and a light coat. never knew
man who could wear q
a light walstcoat without looking
fifteen degrees hotter than anyone
else, and my own experience with them
is that they radiate a scorcbing degree
of heat at all times and under all cir
cumstances. The man with the white
waistcoat was dripping, .gasping and
SPECIFICS. 1t certainly was an
exceedingly uncomfortable night.
A drive through the park was
suggested. The four men climbed in
to an open carriage, lighted four large
cigars and went pounding over the
new pavement up Fifth Avenue to the
park. Once there they discovered that
a very large per cent OF the citizens OF
New York had been struck, with the
same idea. Though the weather was
almost intolerable in the streets there
was a delicious breeze rustling through
the trees. A continual stream OF open
carriages filed with men and
women rolled swiftly around, so that
the drive was almost as populous
as at 5 O'Clock in the afternoon
The handsome hotel, known as Mount
ST. Vincent. in the park, was illumin-
ated with various coiored electric lights
With the gaily dressed women, flowers,
statuary and decorations the scene
looked ike summer night fete- Every
one was there and every one seemed 70
be surprised a. the presence oil his
neiehbor. The four men felt cool and
thirsty. At midnight they climbed
,,y,,sertaintv. but extreme hilarity, and
howied bac- to town singing with such
effe.t that the horses nearly pulled the
diver IF the box. The town. after
the mark. felt like an oven, and the

another carriage. and IN twenty

ars gate into the park once more.

80 the crowd Of carriages was fully
EFF ss 1reat as IL had been at O'Clock
