As we all know. Gen. Greeley's predic.
ton that July IA Is and l6 would be the
hottest days OF the year was not verified
in this part of the country, but it is only
fair to the great explorer to say that his
prediction applies 10 western New York
and not to the Mississippi valley. The
probabilities are now against him for
that locality for the two last days, and it
is quite probable that the cool wave
reached New York sometime Yesterday
To predict the three hottest days in the
year is perhaps the most difficult problem
in meterology. If the prognosticator
should hit two of the hottest DAYS and
miss one, his prediction would he count
ed failure, and besides this. the three
hottest days are not likely to occur to-
gether

The two citizens who left Rock Island
Sunday night in search of the fine
worker r. |. Skiles, returned last even
ing. They claim they went to Cedar
Rapids instead of La Crosse, but they
tell somewhat conflicting stories as to til.
results of their trip. One says they did
not see Skiles-that he had skipped from
Cedar Rapids when they got there. The
other states that he at least did see the
swinder and secured sufficient securities
to cover his claim

is not progressing. He Is slightly deformed one

the 22d or February, 1881, he married Princess
Victoria, OF Schleswig- Observation-Disclosures

young emperor sometimes makes speeches. but an

MISTAKEN GOV. Hill.

Gov. HILL, of New York, is either a
singularly ill-adviSed or peculiarly
short-sighted man. The fight which he
is apparently making against President
CLEVELAND in New York, and which
seems to be an indication that he HIM
self is in the field for the presidency,
certainly has no excuse whatever for its
existence. If Gov. HILL possesses the
political sagacity with which he is
credited he must surely recognize the
fact that the Democratic party's only
certainty of success lies in the nomina-
ton Of President CLEVELAND, both be-
cause the people demand him and be-
cause he has made the record which has
induced the country to repose so much
confidence in the Democratic party.
There is every reason why President
CLEVELAND should be renominated;
there is none why Gov. HILL at this
time should expect to secure the prize,
to which, however, he had an undeni-
able right to aspire. Not only, then,
does he decrease the chances of Demo-
cratic success 10y disorganizing the
Democracy of New York and bringing
discOrd in its rank but he is injuring
his own political chances. Even if Gov.
HILL. were able to defeat the supporters
of the president in New York and it is
not yet entirely clear that he desires to
do sO--there are no indications that the
Democracy elsewhere is prepared to
hail hinf asthe champion and give him
the place of honor.
If, however, acting in good faith, he
should exert his undeniable influence
toward the preservation of harmony in
New York, and consequently toward the

A PAIR OF THEM.
Two Big Suits Against Several Big
Railroads.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 29.-Papers in
two important suits growing out of the
collapse of Ives, Staynor & Co. were
filed in the common pleas court late yes
terday. The plaintiff in each case is j.
II. Wade, trustee for number of per-
sons here and elsewhere. In the first
suit bill of equity was filed against
Henry S. Ives, George III. StaynOr and
Thomas G. DOremuS, of the firm of
Ives, StaynOr d Co., and William Mel
son Cromwell, their assignee, for the
recovery of 100000 worth of collateral
stock of the Cincinnati, Wabash q
Michigan Railroad company. In Oc-
tOber, 1886, Wade sold to Ives,
StaynOr u Co. 12.O22 shares
of the stock of this company,
giving that firm the conerolling inter
est. Three notes were given in pay
ment and the stock hypOthecated. This
action is to recover the stock. The
second suit grows out of the same deal,
and is against the same defendants,
with the addition of John J. Shipherd,
the Cleveland broker of Ives, Staynor d
Co. One Of the notes given to Wade
became due June 23, 1887, and to pay it,
Ives, StaynOr d Co. drew two drafts
on Shipherd. Each draft was for 800
600, one being made payable in ten days
and the other in twenty days. These
drafts were secured by 500 shares of
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton pre-
ferred stock. Before the maturity of
the drafts, Ives, Staynor & Co., went
into insolvency and the suit is brought
to recover the value of the drafts.
