A VERMONT postmaster. Mrs Sutton of Som

SECRETARY MANNING has had an invalids
chair made by the Treasury Department carpen-

use, however will be to carry Secretary Man

DR. HANNAH, a New York physician, has
brought suit to recover $4,000 for his services
as medical expert in the famous Hoyt will case,
which attracted so much attention last year.
Other physicians called to testify as to what
Dr. Hannah should have charged are by no means
agreed upon the matter. One thought So or $40
visit to the woman suspected of insanity would
have been a reasonable charge. and as these
visits were few in number the bill, at this rate,
would have fallen far short of $l2, 900. Another
doctor said he had never heard of DIR. Hannah,
and consequently could give no opinion as to the
value of his services. The doctors seemed a
little i'll at and afraid to speak their senti-
ments, but the undercurrent Of the testimony
seemed to be that the worth of the professional
service in such case depended, in large measure,
upon the value of the property involved. The
moral of which is, that it is money in the pock-
cts of claimants of rich estates to so conduct
themselves that they cannot, by any possibility,
be suspected of mental eccentricities.

Disappointed in Mr.. Irons.

Governor Andrew G. Curtin.
l was disappointed in Martin Irons He made
a miserable appearance on the witness stand,
bore himself badly, was the reverse of frank
and crossed himself an innumerable number OF
times. He is evidently fellow of no particular
brains. and it is mystery how he holds his po-
siton with the order. The contrast between
him and such man as Powderly is marked in
the extreme. Powderly is gentleman of brains
and culture, and a reasoner and thinker in every
sense of the word He is not to be mentioned in
connection with such as Martin Irons.
Mr. Litchman made good impression ard said
we'll what he had to say. He is decidedly
good talker and clothes his ideas in forcible lam
guage, but he is all theory-all theory.

Ten votes were cast against Lowry, and six
teen other delegates, in utter disgust, refused
to vote at all. When the nominee appeared
to deliver the usual speech of thanks he
was received with yells, Kisses and groans, and

the convention having resolved itself into q
passionate mob. The Democratic party OF
the Twelfth district is split wide open, and

AFTER announcing the candidacy of General
Gordon for the governorship of the State, in
eloquent language, the Atlanta Constitution
declared that it was entirely impartial, and
would espouse the cause of none Of the candi

this impartial organ has devoted considerable
space to personal attacks upon Mr.. Bacon,
Gordons chief opponent. Before reaching
the painful conclusion that the Constitution
