Important Supreme Court Decision.

In the Cornwall case Judge Lacy last
week delivered the opinion of the Court
of Appeals as follows:
s'This is writ of error to Judgment of
the Circuit Court of Henrico county af-
firming Judgment of the County Court
of Henrico.
Having rendered coupons in payment of
his taxes, upon the veriication of the
same the plaintiff in error was required to
produce the bond from which the said
coupons were cut, the said coupons not
being signed by the Treasurer of the State
nor any other officer of the State, but be-
ing wholly printed or engraved by machln-
cry.
This is plain requirement of the law
OF the State; bond being signed by the
State Treasurer. it was the best evidence
of the execution Of both bond and, cou
pons. If the same had in fact been execu-
ted by any person authorized by law to
bind che State. The plaintiff In error re-
fused to produce the bond not alleging any
inability to do SO. but claimed that the
law OF this State SO requiring the bond t..
be produced was unconstitutional, IN that
it was In conflict with the 10Th sec5i, n ;.
Article L, of the United States Constitu.
ton, which provides that no State shall
pass any law impairing the obligation of
contracts.
This rule of evidence is in accordance
with the common-law principle of evidence
in force in this State, which is in fo, ce
and applicable to all the citizsns of tt is
State alike, and in no way whatever af.
fects the obligations of any contract.
proved or improved, real or imaginary.
The cited clause Of the United States
Constitution has no application whatever
to rules of evidence prescribed by the law
making power of this State to govern pro-
ceedings IN her own courts.
The said provision of the United States
Constitution has no application to this
Case. This is suit against the State of
Virginia, and the plaintiff in error can
only sue the State by her own consent.
and when he avails himself of this consent
he must pursue the remedy, as it is pro
vlded Dy tne law; he has no other in this
Or any other form.
AS to the other question-th the
Court refused to allow Mr.. George BRYAN.
the counsel in the case, to figure as an ex
pert in the premises and prove the genuine
ness of the coupons he had been employed
to collective are of the opinion that the
trial court was plainly right; the laws of
Virginia forbid the use of expert testimo-
ny IN such cases, and even though this at
torney at law should be an expert in such
matters, he could not be received as such
under our laws until the Legislature of
Virginia shall see fit to change the law
upon the subject.
There is no error in the Judgment COM
planned of and it must be affirmed

as one finds that after moving about, the
languor appears IN great measure to pass
off. It seems that this languof must de-
pend upon imperfect removal of the waste
products from the body, as we know that
the secretion of urine in healthy persons Is
generally much less during the night than
during the day. Such people should drink
tumbler of water before going to bed IN
order to aid the secretion of urine and OF
the waste products during the night.

Unhappy Aurora.

The new mining and milling company
which started up at Aurora with SO much
fuss and feathers a few months ago, is re
ported to have let go great deal and the
people out there are not as hopeful as they
were. A practical miner who recently Wis
tied that camp says the managers of the
new company either know very little about
mining, or else they have but little faith in
the value of their properties. They are
merely picking around on the surface, with.
out any apparent systematic design for the
development OF the mines.

Last Saturday afternoon while in swimming
with a number OF boys at the Rock Point
dam, Geo. Slingerland was taken with a
cramp in the stomach aud came very near
drowning before assistance could reach him.
Toe Seamen endeavored to catch him as he
came up, but failed, and a Piute who was
standing on the bank then sprang in and
diving underneath the sinking man brought
him to shore. The water was rolled out of
him and in a short time George was as good
as new.

$50 O'Clock this afternoon odds of $40 to

over the city line from Brooklyn, that the
fight between Sullivan and Heard would
come of. Ticket selling was going on
merrily, and a big crowd sweltered in the
hotel to which Sullivan. accompanied by
Billy Bennett, Jim McKohen and his
younger brother. Michael, had just driven
up in a carriage, when Mr.. Mitchell, the
sheriff of Queens county. through his rep

for Ned Mallahan, Hearld's manager
Mallahan and the under sheriff had a long
conference, and the manager of the boxer
evidently did his hest TO shake the resolu-

Under Sheriff Goldner said his orders
were positive to allow no boxing, and he
bad that morning sworn in twenty five
deputies to aid him if necessary. The
ppgllists made haste to get over to New
York. Sullivan looked particularly glad
as he got out Of the noisy and curious
crowd that pressed closely on him as he
walked to his carriage. As both men
were in fine condition, it was thought n
private match might be arranged, but the
did not consider it likely. as it
would be hard to get a sufficient purse.
The crowd of would be spectators was

A $500 Leap.

New YORK, Aug. 28.-Lawrence Dom
ovan, a printer employed on a weekly
paper, jumped from Brooklyn bridge for
a wager Of $500 at $50 o'clock this morn
ing. A boat was in the river containing
some friends who picked him W. He was
uniniured by the jump.
Donovan was arraigned at the bar of
the Tombs police court this afternoon.
The court room was filed with the friends
Of the jumper. Judge Duffy said: This
fellow wanted to excel Brodie and thinks
he is going to be a hero and pose in some
dime museum" He thtn questioned the
bridge policeman and train conductor.
but neither could say that Donovan had
jumped from the bridge. The police
mans attention was attracted by a mum
Der Of vehicles stopping and the drivers
looking down into the water.
Then what is there said Justice
Duffy, ito show that this man is not a
fraud? He may have got a few men TO
get in a boat and row out under the bridge
and had his friends make a great ado and
say the man had jumped fr2m the
Donovan then said he did make the
jump, and an affidavit was then made out
arcordinely, based on Donovan's admis
sion that he Jumped from the bridge into
East river and thereby caused an obstruc'
ton to vehicles on the bride.
The case was again brought up and
Justice Duffy rritented his former opin
ion, but" said he, this thing Of jump
ing off high places. going over cataracts
at Niagara, etc. by looms must be stopped.
We read OF them doing the things in
tights. in barrels and wanting to jump
from balloons. There is no heroism il
| this jumping I've n notion said
the Justice, severely, to send you to the
| island for six months as a vagrant so that
you would be where you could not harm
Yourself or anybody else. As it is. II
