"Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
Mr.. SWEET started for Chicago on the
o'clock train, and Mr.. Solomon left at the
same hour for Ottawa, going by way of
Joliet, and talking with them the record
and order for supersedeas, that they
might file them with Clerk Taylor of the

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-The news was re-
ceived by the condemned men quietly,
with some expression CT pleasure, but
few of surprise. They treated the super
sedeas as matter of course and said
little except to intimate an increasing be-
lief that the Illinois supreme court would
grant them new trial, though they ad-
mitted having been still more confident
that Judge Garys rulings would be in
their favor.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION

the report says it is admitted on all
sides that existing legislation is insult
ticient, and has utterly failed in several
respects and adds that legislation has
been suggested and is now before CON
gress which seems well adapted to cor
rect all defects in the existing laws and
to restore the government to its true
position that of creditor. Its
debt is not yet due and is
too large for its debtor to
pay Immediately if it were due.
Meanwhile its present security is INSULT
cient, but the debtor has additional Sc
curities which may be pledged, and sol
vent business capable of paying the en-
tire interest and part of the principal
each year if he can only be permitted to
conduct and manage 1t in accordance
with business principles and with the
same freedom which is enjoyed by his
rivals. At present the debtor is hamper
cd both by partnership and by the
cloud upon its credit caused by the at
titude of the government. Surely it is to
the great advantage of both parties that
this state of affairs should cease and that
a permanent adjustment should be made
which will give the government
ample security for its debt and pay in
terest in full of the principal each
year, and give the company freedom of
action in the management of its business
and good credit in the financial centers.
The government directors therefore con
hdently and earnestly recommend
an early passage of bill
now before congress unanimously
reported by the house committee on
Pacific railroads, which provides for the
final ad djustment of the debt of the Union
Pacific railway company.
The government directors express con-
fidence in the present managers of the
road. The report is signed by E. p.
Alexander, f. 4. Condert, NJ. A. Hanna,
Franklin MacVeagh, j. W. Savage.

LAWRENCE VI. DONOVAN.
Jumped 200 Feet from the New Suspensio
Bridge. Niagara.

Jumped 200 Feet from the New Suspension
Bridge. Niagara.
The same man who in August last
jumped from the Brooklyn brige, has
startled the world by leaping from the
new suspension bridge, Niagara, into the
troubled waters about two hundred feet
below. This is the greatest feat of the
kind on record. Its accomplishment cost
the performer the fracture of a rib, but he
is rapidly recovering, and will probably be
heard of again as bridge jumper who
refuses to make money on his reputation
by exhibiting himself in museum.
Donovan is "a years of age, New
Yorker by birth and unbroken residence.
He is printer by trade, and up to recent
ly worked steadily at his business. His
feat of jumping from the Brooklyn bridge
on Aug. % last, made aim reputation
by which he has profited but little. He
had hoped that the proprietor of sport
ing newspaper on which he was employed
would set him up in the liquor business
Failing the fulfillment of this expectation
he reluctantly accepted an engagement
at a dime museum. His pride soon
sickened of that, and he gave it up
About a month before leaping from the
Suspension Bridge, Donovan received an
offer of 81 200 If he would make the jump
at Genessee Falls, where Sam Patch met
his death nearly sixty years ago. He
went there to earn the money, but the
police prevented him from carrying out
mis- intention. Then, without the promis
of fee or reward, he went to Niagara, anC
there for the glory and honor of the thing
made the awful lead which places hi:
name at the lead of those of all tbs
bridge jumpers. Donovan is a single
man. His widowed mother and siste1

PATHS Wedding Presents.


Il wish you could have seen all nv
beautiful wedding presents, not only for
their value, but for the many associations
connected with them" said Adelina Patti,
recently, to a reporter. Prom the EE
peror of Germany, dear old King William,
l had an exquisitely framed portrait in
scribed with his autograph, and then
the lovely gold services that were given
me by the king and the queen of the
Belgians, the queen of SpaIn, and Queen
Elizabeth, of Roumania- The prince
and princess of Wales sent me large ar
row, all incrusted with diamonds, the one
in the center being great one of rare
beauty. l had magnificent presents
from all the Rothschilds, one of them be-
ing large hsart formed of lovely dia-
monds, and in the center beautiful
ruby of great size. Another of the
Rothschilds gave me large spray, with
leaves and flowers formed of diamOr ds
and rubies. From Leopold Rothschild
had a paper knife of tortoise shell, with
the handle entirely encrusted with dia-
monds. One of my prettiest presents
was a service OF silver sent by the king
of the Sandwich islands. You know, l
was decorated by him. But, Oh, had
so many presents that / cannot take the
time to describe them. l must tell you,
though, about the lovely things the peo-
pie of Swansea gave me. How far is
Swansea from the castle: Just twenty
one miles. From all the poor people in
the valley and at Swansea / had a beau
tiful gold box that they had bought for
me with the little sums they had saved
to remember me on my wedding day
From the other people in Swansea, in
cluding Lady Vivian, who is sweet
friend, 1 had a splendid service of old
Swansea china. Every plate of thi;
china, you know, is worth its weight il
pounds; it can not be duplicated, and i:
so rare that there was nothing the peo
pie of Swansea could give me which
would more greatly express their affec
tion -

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-It is estimated
at the treasury department that the pub
lie debt statement to be issued tomorrow
will show decrease in the debt, for the
month of November, of little over ST.,
100000. The small amount of the reduc-
tion is principally due to the fact that
nearly S14,OO0,OO0 were paid during the
month for pensions alone. The receipts
during the month were about S27 100000,
and the disbursements about S24 100000.
In November of last year the receipts
were about S25.OOO,OO and the expendI-
lures about S2s,050,0O0. There was an
advance of about $4,OOOOOO in the debt
in November, 1885.

Marcus Anderson Sues John Sloane. J V. Far
well and Others.


LA CROSSE, Nov. 3O.-The suit of Mar
Gus Anderson against John Sloane,
j. V. Farwell and others, now
pending IL the circuit court
before Judge Newman, involvs i'm
portant legal points affecting business
men everywhere. Anderson sues the de
PENDANTS for $4,000 damages for illegal
ly closing up his retail dry goods business.
In 1888 plaintiff signed judgment notes
to satisfy the claims of wholesale Chics
60 merchants. The latter's attorn-
eys thinking Anderson was about
to fail, entered judgment on the notes
before they became due and attached the
plaintiffs stock. The creditors became
alarmed, and the result was that Ander-
sons business went into the hands of an
assignee, and his affairs were wound up.
In the subsequent litigation the supreme
court of Wisconsin decided that the at
torneys had no right to enter judgment
on notes before they became due, on the
strength of which decision Anderson
claims heavy damages. The best legal
talent in the state will be engaged on the
trial.

| languor, sleeplessness, etc. DR.. Frant-
! eel says that if the causes of these COM
plants are inquired into, it is generally
found that the patients are great smok-
ers. They may not smoke cigars rich in
nicotine, but full favored cigars imported
from the Havanas.
Smoking, as 6 rule, agrees with per

years and lsnger, although by degrees CT
gars of a finer flavor are chosen. But
all at once, without any assignable cause,

which rapidly increase. and compel the
sufferer to call in the help OF the medical
man. 1t is strange that persons con-
sumlng cigars of ordinary quality, even
if they smoke them very largely. rarely
are attacked in that way.
The excessive use of cigarettes has not
been known to give use to smaller troub-
les, although i is the cause of complaints
of a different nature. The age at which
disturbances of the heart become pro-
nounced varies very much. 1t is but rare
that patients are under so years OF age;
they are mostly between 20 and 60 years
old.
Persons who are able to smoke full
favored Havanas cont'aue to do so up to
their death. If We look round among
the better classes of society, who, it is
well known, are the principal consumers
of cigars, it is astonishing to find how
many persons with advancing years dis
continue smoking. As a rule, affection
of the heart has caused them TO abjUre
