Decided Against the Elder.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March %
The case of Pauline Missik against Elder
Jeremiah Payne ended this afternoon
with a verdict for 81, 900 Tor the plaintiff.
The girl is l6 years old and claimed that
last summe when a domestic in the ell
der's family and his wife was away he
ruined her. She brought suit for DANA
ges, and the elder piously protested that
he was innocent and brought numerous
witnesses to prove the girl had u bad re-
putation. The plaintiff brought as many
witnesses TO prove her character good.
The case was given to the jury and they
agreed at the first ballot. The verdict was
a surprise, as the judges charge inclined
to favor the defendant, who was visibly af.
fected by the result.

Nine Children in Seven Years.

TARR's BRIDGE, Pa, March %
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Lockwell, Of this
place, have a curious family. They have
been married seven years and have nine
children. The two Oldest are twins, a
boy and a girl. At birth the girl weighed
eight pounds and the boy less than four,
but now, at the age of 6 years, the boy
weighs torty-fve pounds and the girl only
twenty. There was Just a year to a day
between the birth of the twins and the
next child, which was a boy. He is deaf
and dumb. A year later Mrs. Lockw well
gave birth to triplets. two girls and a boy,
each one of which weighed five pounds.
They lived until they were six months
old, and were in apparently the best of
health, but one day they all three died in
less than an hour of one another. Two
years later Mrs. Lockwell gave birth to
twins, both boys of more than average
weight. One of the babies had six fng-
ers on the left hand and the other had
six toes on the right foot. Two years
passed again before any more children
were born to the Lockwells. On Sunday
Mrs. Lockwell gave birth to a girl baby
which weighs less than two pounds. 1t
is lively and in the best of health, but so
small that 1t can hardly be handled. An
ordinary finger ring will slip over its hand
and half way up its arm.

Pneumonia.
Fatal Collision on the Pitts

Chief Justice Waite Dead.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Chief JUS
tice Waite died at his residence in this
city at 6:l0 o'clock this morning.
Chief Justice Waite was in his usual
health, though exhausted by his recent
severe labors, until Saturday night, when
on returning from Senator Hearst's,
where, with his daughter, he attended a
reception, he complained of a chill. This
feeling passed off during the night, but he
remained in bed throughout Sunday and
until it was time for him to go to court on
Monday. Suffering then from malaria
and a vague indisposition, he did not read
the opinion in the telephone case, but sat
through its reading and then returned to
his home. He was wakeful Monday
night and on Tuesday morning symptoms
of acute bronchitis appeared, accompanied
by insomnia and great restlessness. His
condition Tuesday was not alarming, but
on Wednesday circumscribed pneumonia
showed itself. During Thursday night
he vas comfortable and no particular
alarm was felt. but at 6 o'clock this morn
ing failure of the heart's action was OBJ
served, and his daughter and son were
with him when he died.
Mrs. Waite left Washington for Cali
fornla about a week ago and is supposed
to be now in Los Angeles. Arrange
ments for the funeral have not as yet
been made. The chief Justice will be
buried in Toledo, o.

Stole Autograph Letters.

New YORK, March ga young
Englishman named VIM. Donaldson was
held for trial to-day on the somewhat un.
Usual charge of stealing a package of auto
graph letters written by the prince of
Wales. Donaldson was arrested Tuesday
night, aud played the letters off against
the credulity OF the police as evidence of
his eminent responsibility. 1t is now
painfully apparent that he fe~loniously
took these inestimable documents from a
Mr.. Mara, now of New York, but for
merry a Lunnun town crockery man. at
whose establishment Albert Edward used
to get his water pitchers mended and buy
china dogs for the babies. D madison
came over from the other side with Mr..
Mara's brother. He spent his money
here and went the way Of all imported
tesh-to Chicago. Finding no opening
IN the Western metropolis. for a man with
no money and less moral character, he
drifted back to New York, with all his
excess baggage under his hat. 1t was
then that Mr.. Mara opened his house to
the wandcrer and gave him socks, svmpa-
thy and several other necessaries of life.
He also, as it seems, gave Donaldson
access to the choicest possession of the
Mara household, to wit, the sign manual
of is royal 'ighness. Mr.. Mara over
looked several little irregularities on the
part of his guest, such as the theft of
small coin and the excessive use of
strong drink in the family circle, but
when the letters disappeared he rightly
Judged that the most unkindest cut of all
had been inflicted and gave the matter 10

Cleared of an Infamous Charge.

New YORK, March 23.-The case of
Annie Allen, who accused Adolph Gibson,
brother of Helen Dauvray, of assaulting
her on the 18th of October last. came to
an abrupt conclusion in the Yorkville
court to-day, by the withdrawal of the
complaint. The testimony in the case
was all taken some time since, and only
Justice Murray's de llsion was yet to be
gwen when a letter was received by Col.
lngersoll from Scotland from Armies re-
puted husband. The letter reported that
Annie's career in Scotland was most dis
graceful, and that she deserted the writer
leaving an infant only four months old
on his hands. Time was asked for the
obtaining Of evidence to corroborate this,
and in the latter part of February James
Allen, brother of Annie's husband, ar
rived in New York. To-day Annie and
Allen were both in court. There was a
consultation. Annie withdrew her com
plant and Justice Murray dismissed the

chief Justice waite,s Illness.

WAsHINGToN, March 23.-Additional
particulars of the illness of Chief Justice
Waite are obtained from DIR. Caroline r.
Wlnslow, WHO has been the family physi-
clan for the last thirteen years. The i'm
mediate cause of his death, the doctor
said, was nervous failure of the action of
the heart, and it came with such startling
suddenness as to be absolutely appalling.
There were not the vaguest symptoms of
heart complications throughout his sick
ness. On Saturday night the chief JUS
tIce attended the authors reception given
by Senator and Mrs. Hearst, but feeling
slightly indisposed, he left their house
early. About half an hour after he ar
rived at his home he was taken with a
chill and Immediately retired. At 3
o'clock in the morning DR.. Winslow was
called and found the chief justice suffer
ing with pains in the back. Later on he
felt somewhat better and rested quite
comfortably. AT this time he said to his
physician in a tone of inquiry that he
must attend the court on Monday, but
was cautioned to take no chances. He
persisted that he felt quite well enough to
ride to the capitol and return.
On Monday, after his return from the
capitol, his physician called and found him
complaining of soreness in his right lung,
and when asked to take a long breath he
said that the effort caused him pain. An
examination showed that part of his
right lung. two or more inches in diane
ter, was hepatized. This was accompa-
MED by a slight cough. He was extreme
ly restless, as he had been from the first,
and his face was much flushed and he was
very wakeful during Monday night.
While his illness Was by no means re-
garded as critical, his physician on Tues
day suggested that his son be telegraphed
for. which was done.
The chief Justices condition remained
much the same during Tuesday morning,
and late in the day symptoms of bronchi.
tbs appeared, and on Wednesday symp-
toms OF pneumonia made their appear
ance in his affected lung. There was no
material change during the day. During
the night of Wednesday and on Thurs
day he was quite comfortable, no one feel
ing any alarm, though naturally anxious.
He was getting along well everyone be-
lleVed, and when at 10 o'clock last even
ing his physician left him he responded to
her good night as cheerfully and in. as
strong a voice as he did in health.
The nurse who remained during the
night observed no change in his condi-
ton, not even in the expression of his
face, until 6 o'clock this morning, when
he turned over on his back, and in ten
minutes he was dead.
At the beginning of his illness Chief
Justice Waite, fearing to needlessly alarm
his wife, who was on her way to Cali
tornla in company with an invalid sister,
cautioned those about him to keep his
condition from the He was
not alarmed himself and was unwilling
hat his wife's journey should be curtailed
or mterfered with by his slight indisposi,
ton.

The Presidents Condolences.

WASHINGTON, March . .-The presi
dent when informed of the death of Chief
Justice Waite was very much shocked,
although aware hat Waite had been in
bad health for some time. Quite an init
macy had sprung up between the two off
Gals since the president term began. and
the latter has often been heard to express
himself in terms of the highest praise OF
the chief Justices character aud ability.
The president at once wrote a letter to
Mira. Waite, expressing his deep sympa.
thy for her in her sudden bereavement,
which, he said, was not, only a persona
loss to himself. but a great loss to the
public service.

Of five or six thousand pounds daily and
witness refinery with a daily capacity of
1900 pounds. OF the raw sugar used
this year in witness refinery about 40, 600
tons, or a third of the annual crop, came
from Hawaii, forty or fifty thousand tons
from the Philippine islands and about TO-
900 tons from Central America. The
price Of raw sugar from Hawaii was for
merly fixed by the price in Manila, but
for the last three years it had been regu-
lated by the New York market.
The trust combination has undoubtedly
tended to lower the price of raw sugar
and to raise refined sugars. Sugar was
cheaper in San Francisco than in New

in New York it went up in San Fran
