Agains. the County Commissioners.

Against the County Commissioners
The first of the numerous suits that have been
instituted against the county commissioners by
physicians for work done at the request of the
coroner, came up in Judge Taylor's room, SUI
perior Court, yesterday. The suit was brought
by Drs Brayton and Hurry to recover $500, the
amount charged by them in making an analysis
of the stomach of Lawrence Truffner. q Cincin-
natl travelling man, who di ed at the Illinois Ho-
tel several months ago under suspicious circum
stances. The commissioners refused to pay the
bill when it was presented TO them, as they
have all other accounts that have come to them
through the coroner's office since DR.. Wagner
was elected The refusal to honor the bill, and
the defense they expected 20 make In the suit
was that the coroner had no right to order
the analysis for the reason that the deceased
was not resident Of Indianapolis. The ques
ton of legality came up soon after the case was
called yesterday morning. and Judge Taylor
held that the analysis was o legal one. The
coroner, he said, the sole judge of the ne
cessity of analysis and whenever he saw fit
to order one the county had to recognize the
legality of the service rendered by physicians
He held that the only question at issue was
whether the charge was exorbltant or not DrS.
Brayton and Hurry testified that it took them
eighteen days to complete the analysis. and
claimed that the charge was below the rate OF
frst-class chemists DIR. Waterman was called
as an expert, and said he wouldn't have made
the analysis for $1,000. He thought that $500
would have been reasonable remuneration.
He stated that he made a post.morEem
analysis IN Boone county several years ago for
which he charged $500. and recovered the full
amount after having to go into court Other
reputable physicians testified that the amount
demanded for the services was reasonable. The
attorneys for the county submitted some evil
denee tending show that the analysis I'M
called for, and that by ordering 1t the coroner
put the county to expense that should not be-
paid The case was partially argued last even
ing, and will be submitted to the jury this morn
ing.
The decision of Judge Taylor in holding that
the analysis legal is of Importance, as it will
compel the commissioners to pay the claims OF
several hundred witnesses that they have been
refusing to settle since DIR. Wagner came into
Office. In most cases they have refused pay

Of the harhor, AGATE bay SO, 600 and
and Grand Marais $l5, 900. The appro-
p%riation given for the upper Mississippi

least $t5. 600 viii be given To establish
the telegraph lines wanted from Brainerd
to the reservoir. Col. Crook, who has
been here for some time. has made an
effort 10 get an appropriation Of $1,000

these estimates for damages:
Two hundred acres at $40 per acre,

said il is better that they should be ,Sndid

when Charles j. Ierkes, the Philadel-

abode in Chicago and commenced to de-
vote himself to its interests. Precisely at

a distinguished gathering and waving of
handkerchiefs by the ladies the great

years, was successfully i~naugurated by
the departure Of the initial car from the
North Side barns. and this afternoon the
Difficulties nave been encountered in the
task which would have appalled, many
earnest men, but they were surmounted
by The Ierkcs indomitable spirit and the
northern section Of the city has today the
finest cable system in the world-tifteen
miles in length, equipped with cars Of
elaborate construction and containing all
the latest Improvements. The speed will
vary from six to eight miles per hour.
Work on the cable has been in progress
eighteen months and the cost runs into
the millions. Lincoln Park on the ex-
trene north and the Board of Trade on
the south are now brought into a few
minutes connection with cach other, and
the successful completion of the enter
prise is regarded as the greatest boon
conferred upon the city in the last quar-

brewers who were recently defeated in the
United States supreme court in the suit
brought by Attorney General Bradford to
test the proilhitory law Of Kansas, have
fled in the United States circuit a writ Of
objection to the form of decree filed by
Attorney Bradford. They make the fol
lowing claims:
Zeibold & Hagcniand have the right to
manufacture beer in this state for export
and sale in other states and territories.
The decision Of the supreme court was to
prohibit them from manufacturing and
selling beer in this state, and il is an open
question for the Couris 10 decide whether
they have the right 10 manufacture beer
for sale in other states and territories.
10 make the order asked for would result
in the absolute bankruptcy end ruin of
Iiebold s. Eagcnland. Wethink that we
are entitled to have the order made in the
way indicated, as the supreme court OF
the United States has not decided the
question, and has never reversed the cir
cult court on that point,
Attorney General Bradford still main
tains that Ziebold Il Hagcnland have no
right 10 manufacture liquor 10 sell out

cree be entered as written by him.
