GENERAL
He Is Suffering From Nervous Prostra-'
ton and Needs Rest.

: CHICAGO, May ga Daily News Wash
ington special says that ever since his re-
turn from the West last Saturday, General
Sheridan has been suffering from nervous
prostration, and the fact that there was q
consultation OF physicians at his home this
afternoon excited grave apprehensions
among his friends. DR.. Yarrow said this
evening there was nothing in the Generals
condition calculated to excite apprehen-
sion, and that he vas getting along
nicely and would 10 all probability
be out OF the house and at his Office
again in a few days. Colonel Sheridan
said: THE general is moi very i'll. He is
not so i'll as he has been a great many
times in his life. We are not at all con-
cerned about it. He has just returned
from a very quick and hard trip to the
West. spending five nights in sleeping cars,
and when he returned was thoroughly tired
out. He had also exposed himself to the
sun more than was wise in Cincinnati, and
this had rather Frustrated him. All he
needs is rest, and that he is getting. There
is NO occasion for alarming reports"

Caught In the Act.

About midnight last night Officer Hooper
saw two men carrying a trunk along the
alley that crosses Utah street. He watched
them cache it in a dark spot near the rear
oil Main street. They then left it and stole
away. In a short time they returned and
seeing the coast apparently clear they pro,
ceeded to break it open and had got as far
as breaking the lock when the officer dis
covered himself and arresting them took
them down t. the city jail. There he put
them in the cooler. not placing them in q
cell. He then returned fortthe trunk and
when he got back to the Jail his birds had
flown. They had made their escape through
q hole which had been broken by lou
prisoners az an early hour yesterday morn
ing, oil which the officer had not been mott
fed. However, he caught one OF them, whit
gave his name as Mike Brady, half an houl
later on East Park street.

Rendered ut Midnight.
Inc ease OF the Territory against Clav.
Ton Tor the murder OF q. C. Maddnr vss
continued yesterday in the District Court
n occupied the courts time to the 3.
ciusion Of anything else. The d~efendant,a
examination was continued and completed
during the forenoon when the counsel Ia.
gan their addresses to the jury. County
Attorney Dewitt was first to do so and
made an able summing up of the case Of
the territory. w. Y. Pemberton followed
IN q powerful address to the Jury in
which he al most effectively clio.
quent, causing the widow Of the
murdered man, who was present in court
with her orphaned children, to shed tears
at the graphic picture he drew OF her desc.
lasion. Withal be skilfully wove for the
defence y chain OF reasoning SO close and
convincing that it seemed the c~learest case
OF seli-defence ever presented to q jury.
de was followed by Judge Cole. who
clinched the justiiable homicide aspect Of
the case, and dissected the evidence with
admirable skill in his clients favor. 1t
was left for MIR. Stapleton to reunite the |
now shattered fragments OF the Territory's |
case, and to knit again the web OF evidence
aroun the defendant, which was done
with q direct earneetness and logical
reasoning. When he had finished it
was hard to resist the conviction
that the Territory had re-established its
case. At o'clock the Judge read his in
to the jury, those for the prose-
cutlon being the usual definitions OF the
forms OF murder, malice, reason
able doubt, intent, etc. Those for the de-
Ience were very liberal and copious. The
prosecution excepted to one as to assault
upon the habitation If another. Altogether
the outlook for the defendant was generally
az more than fair. and few ,ex.
pected that the jury would do any less than
acquit. The court was then adjourned un /
i'll 800 this morning unless the jury should
u the meanwhile agree on a verdict, and !
,he jury given in charge OF q bailif. D
The jury reached q verdict about mid i
AND court was convened. Mr.. De- 1
and Mr.. Pemberton were the only !
'ounsel present. The verdict when read by !
he Clerk was Guilty OF murder in the !
Degree The jury forbore to afix r
he penalty but left this to the discretion 4
the Court. They were not polled as the i
ounsel waived this right. The result is 4
ntirely a surprise as nearly every one Z
ooked for a verdict OF iustifable homicide
r a hung jury. But this shows the skill Of n
ir. Stapleton's closing address, which 6
reversed every point made by the defend Il
nt's counsel in their powerful speeches r
nd exposed the weak points in the defend :
nt's case with calm but pitiless accuracy. 2

FIGHTS.
The Trans-COntinental Association to
Antagonize the Inter State Commerce
Commission.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-The Transcon-
tinental Association has adjourned to meet
at st. Paul, June Is. After a three days
struggle over the decision in the Inter State
case arising out OF the complaint of Martin
& Co., OF Denver, filed at Washington May
Is, it was concluded that n satisfac-
tory construction Of the ruling could
be arrived at without a perusal OF the en-
tire wording Of the decision, and as this rul-
ing would be the basis OF their work, nothing
could now be done. but to adjourn. Before
adjournment it was decided in case OF the
claim of the Canadian Pacific road for
defferential rates to leave the matter to
Chairman Leeds to act as he deemed best.
The passenger men discussed the advisa-
bility of allowing tickets TO be sold east by
way OF Sacramento and San Francisco,
but no action vas taken at present. They
are sold only by way Of Ogden and the
Oregon Short Line and to the Pacific.

The House.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-In the House to-
day Symes Of Colorado introduced a bill
for a public building at Boulder, Colorado.
The unfinished business was the motion
submitted two weeks ago by Bingham OF
Pennsylvania, to suspend the rules and
pass the Senate bill granting the right OF
way through the Crow Indian Reservation
to the Billings, Clark's Fork & Cooke City
Railway Company. Wilson Of Minnesota
opposed the bill because another
road had already been pro-
jected and partly built through
the only canyon which afforded
passage across the country, and the effect
OF the passage OF the bill would be to en-
able a set of Wall street spectators to
come and throttle an enterprise already
under way by the occupying OF the canyon
to the exclusion OF the other road. Dele
gate Toole, of Montana, also opposed the
measure at the present on the same
grounds. He argued that thirty days be
allowed the Clarke's Fork & Cooke City
Railroad Company to
NEGOTIATE IT'S BONDS
before the House attempt to act upon the
bill. The bill was passed. Ayes 112, noes
40. Hatch, of Missouri, argued that
the rules be suspended and the
bill passed to enlarge the pow
ers and duties of the department,
oil agriculture and to create an exc
cutiye department. to be known al

| and pass the bill was agreed to. Yeas

A Japcnese proverb says that a friend
at hand Is better than all your relations at
q distance. so a little money In your peck
ct is better than all the credit In the world.
II is astonishing sometimes how much
little money will buy. and equally sur
prising how quickly bill reaches d hun.
dred, and yet we may have little TO show
for it. One purchasing on credit buys
rashly and generously; he does not think
of pay day, which seems far off, certain
like death, but as remote and intangible.
II is so easy to buy things in this way,
one hardly stops to count the cost; by
this method il almost seemsas If all things
we covet grew on trees, and all we had to
do was to put out our hands; we seem to
be ready and clothed as If by a miracle,
and 1t Is surely q miracle, If we pay the
bill in due season. To contract q bin Is
to contract an obligation, 10 give another
the advantage; we believe that half the
forgeries and embezzlements of this coun.
try are the direct result OF debt. Half
the paralysis and heart disease which end
mems lives in their heyday may be traced
10 the worry consequent upon debt. Wor-
ry kills more people than work, or love,
or disease. 1t writes wrinkles in the face,
it discolors the skin. makes the hair fall
out and encourages dyspepsia.
