not see the article in question until my atten-

In q recent speech in Boston General Hawley

great, broad face and dark brown eyes Of New
England OK has better company than he has with
some men-some men of considerable intellect,
also.n The Journal has no fault to find with
General Hawlev for preferring the society of an
OK to that of some men, but cannot approve
of his discrimination in favor of the New England
OK. Why should he choose the company of the
broad faced, brown-eyed New England animal
rather than the blue-eyed, high browed. intel

like to have General Hawley explain.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 3o-The
heaviest rain storm for years has prevailed
throughout Alabama during the past two
days. There are washouts on the Louisville
& Nashville road north of here, and ON the
Western road between Montgomery and At

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 30.-Unpre-
cedented rains have fallen in this section the

eight to ten inches throughout the upper
Tennessee watershed. At Sp.. IN. the river

souAMous DIATHEsIs.
A New Phase of the Defense in Skow-
hegan's Dog Case.

SKowHEGAN, March 30.-The Fitzgerald
Dobson case assumed an entirely different
phase when DIR. Weeks took the stand for
the defendant Monday morning. Up to
Saturday night the doctors called in defense
all agreed they could see no reason for the
girls limping gait. The theory of the de-
fense seemed to be that she was kept too
close, did not exercise sufficiently; that she
was kept housed, for fear that outsiders
would detect the little girls shamming. DR..
Weeks, admitted on both sides toIbe one of
the first surgeons in the State, after thor
ough examination pronounced it as his opin-
ion that it is not a case of shamming; that
she has hip-joint disease in its first stage;
that what the little girl needs is not more
exercise but less exercise and more rest; that
with rest and proper treatment she bids fair
to recover in few years. The defense is
that her trouble comes from scrofulous
taint which the doctors dignity by the title
of SqudmouS diGtbesis. There is a conflict
of testimony as to her previous condition Of
health. One doctor says he attended her for
the measles more than year before and
that she then had paralysis at different times
for days at a time in this same left side, and
that the mother knew this. This both
mother and father deny. The battle will be
fought on the issue of SqldnlouS dtdtheSlS.
The defense will say that it was walked up
by the measles and was bound to break out
again, bite or no bite, that there was no con-
nection between the bite and the lame hip
The plaintiff will say perhaps, and only per
haps, there was speck of scrofulous pre-
disposition, that this is the first time it ever
showed itself, and it is immaterial whether
it was woke up by the bite or by a twist and
a wrench, that the whole trouble is traceable
to the onset of the dog.
There seems to be a general belief that
DR.. Weeks, for the honor of human nature,
has taken the case out of the category of
shamming. In this the defendants join.
They were anxious to find the bottom truth,
and rather expend few hundred more to
put the little girl on the road of recovery
than that her trouble should be prolonged
through mistakes of doctors OF anybody
else. 1t seems to be the opinion all around
that the only question is, Chow much!'
The case win probably go to the jury to-
day.
Attorney General Baker will plead for
diminution of damages for the accident, and
Mr.. Stuart will close with an appeal for large
damages for his much injured little client.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Validity of the Baltimore and Ohio
Insurance Scheme to be Tested,

GAINESVILLE, o., March 3O.-A petition
has been filed in the Common Pleas Court by
James A. Williams against the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, praying for the
recovery of $156 that was retained out of his
wages in assessments for the insurance fund
during his employment with the company.
The petition sets up that the present system
of compulsory insurance among the employees
was first enforced by the company in April,
1880, and each month thereafter until De-
cember, 1885, at which time he left the ser
vice, he was compelled to relinquish 1925
thus retained, the petitioner claims, was
wrongfully withheld. The case is creating
considerable interest in railroad circles, par
tieularly among the Baltimore and Ohio en-
ployes, and it will test the validity of the
compulsory insurance among employees as
inaugurated by this company some five years
ago.

THE sUNKEN OREGON.
The Part of the Schooner in the Col
lision.

inc PdrL OF the SCHOOn6r IN tTiS 6Oi-
lision.
NEW YORK, March 30.-Pilots and ship
ping men are strongly of the opinion that
the schooner whose three masts have been
seen sticking out of the water southwest Of
Shinnecook Light is the Charles Fl. Morse,
and that it is the one that came in collision
with the Oregon. The wrecks of the steam
ship and schooner are 163 miles apart, the
schooner lying southwest of the steamship.
At the point where the masts were seen
there are % fathoms of water, or 1873 feet.
The masts of the Morse would hardly show
above water if she lay on the bottom. An
explanation of this is offered by the theory
that she may have caught on ledge or that
the masts may be wrenched from their fas-
Jennings, and are now hanging by the
ShrOuds.
Lieut.. Field, of the photographic Office,
who has been taking bearings of the wrecked
steamer and schooner, has consulted every
pilot whom he could find to learn what
chance there might be that the Oregon was
sunk by the Hylton Castle. These two
wrecks are now 20 miles apart, and, taking
the extreme reports about the position of
the Oregon before the collision and the Hyl-
ton Castles position, he concluded that
when they were closest the distance be-
tween them was at least nine miles
