John Zeigler and induced Fort johnson s. Co.
80 sell them on commission to Alexander g Co.
The forged cheek was rejected when it was

NEAR time Zeigler, by his transaction through
the agency Of Fort johnson IL Co. with Alexan-
der g. Co.. had procured the market value of the
cattle and had disappeared. Alexander g. Co.
sold the cattle to an Eastern firm, and when the
Clinton county farmer discovered that he had

stituted suit against Alexander & Co. for the re-
covery Of the value of his stock. amounting to

preme Court yesterday, is affirmed. Alexander
q Co. arc therefore made to suffer for the swim
die The court holds that when Fort, Johnson

benefit Of the fraudulent possessor, they sold no
better right than he had; but when Alexander e

JOHN CAHILLS FATAL WOUND.
Testimony Showing that He Was Injured Dur
ing Quarrel with Joseph Reesor.

Coroner Stratford has gone far enough in in
vestigating the cause of John Cahill's death to
learn that he received his wound in the head in q
quarrel with his brother-in-law, Joseph Reesor
Cahill had fondness for liquor, and this, with
an inclination to abuse his wife while intoxi-
Gated, led her to leave him several times. She
as often forgave him, and they renewed their
marital relations, the last time on the
night he was injured. A few days
before the 26th Of last November she
left him and went to her mothers, No 24O
Indiana avenue. Sunday evening. the Goth, fol-
lowing, Cahill called there to see his wife. At
this point the testimony begins to diverge into
several versions that do not agree as to the de-
tail of the occurrence. However, it is settled
that Reesor advised Cahil to leave the house,
desire of becoming master of the situation is
to the effect that Cahill threatened
to cut Reesor, and that he had a knife in his
hand. Reesor caught and pushed him toward
the door, out of which Cahl fell, his head strik-
ing the ground. After this Mrs. Cahill went
with her husband to their ROOM No 242 West
Washington street. Within few DAYS erysipe-
las began to develop in Cahill's forehead, and
the attending physician, DR.. Walker. some days
thereafter, discovered the wound in the back of
head. The patient partially recovered, but his
strength had gone, and within the first week or
two became bed-ridden.

Stated in Divorce Complaint.

After Eve years of quarrelsome life, and three
in which they occupied the same house, No. so
Arizona street, without speaking to each other,
Caroline Holzwart yesterday filed complaint
for divorce from her husband. Gottlieb. Fail
ure to provide is the ostensible cause but be-
hind that is long list Of marital
difficulties since November, 1864, when
they were married The Holzwarts
had cow that figured in court for several
months through suits and cross-suits on the part
of wife and husband She claimed the animal
because, as she alleged, it was bought with her
money. He sold it at the stockyards after the
suit involving ownership was decided. Mrs.
Holzwart recovered it by replevin Again he
got possession Of it, and for the second
time a suit of replevin came in on
behalf of the wife. The law finally dropped out
of their difficulties. but the quarrels went on
with as much vigor as before The Holzwarts
some years ago were entitled, by will, to 800 900
worth of property from Gottlieb Beterman's
estate but that also slipped from their grasp.

came before Judge Walker and agreed to have
the bond of James B. Curtis, receiver, fixed at
$1,000 Irwin S. Robbins became surety
Among those not directly interested in the af-
fairs of the company are the claims of creditors
The smallness of the bond was the cause of con-
siderable comment. About $4,000 worth Of
judgments rest against the plant, which. with
other assets, the petitioners praying for receiv-
opinion of some is that reorganization of the
company is to be perfected after the settlement
of claims resting against the old company is
made
The lightness of the bond is explained by
others as existing only on the books, stock-list
and accounts of which the receiver is to have
charge The plant pending the immediate liti-
cation, remains under the )evies of the sheriff
and in bis keeping After the receiver can have
the books Strengthened and collects material

Best Plant for Holding Banks.

The best plant at present known for
consolidating, 10y the interlacing Of its
roots, tn. loose soil of 4 newly made.
EN- bankment is according to NJ. Cam
bier (of the French Railway Service),
the double poppy. While the usual
grasses and clnvers need several months
for the development of their conllnra-
lively feeble roots, the double poppy
gerhinatcs in Il few days, and in two
weeks grows enough to give some pro-
lection to the slope, while at the end of
three or four months ,he roots, which
are ten or twelve inches long, are found
to have interlaced SO IFS to retain the
earth far more firmly than those OF any
grass or grain.
Though the plant is an annual. it sows
itself after the first year, aud with Il
little care the bank is always in good
condition.--Scientitic AMERICAN.
