require it, Mrs. Lancaster, the eldest
daughter OF Mr.. Randall, came to the
doorway and gave the necessary informa-
ton to the callers. She appeared to be
more cheerful than yesterday and showed
confident belief that her father would
recover from the attack. He rested
quietly during the morning, and has
taken, and apparently assimilated, liquid
nourishment. 1t is not expected by the
family, however, that Randall. will be
able to resume the discharge of his duties

him to quiet place, probably his home

BIGAMY AND EMBEZZLEMENT.

Man Goes Wrong

ST. LOUIS, July 1.-The Globe Demo
crat prints the following special from
Kansas City: John P. Egan, who was
employed in st. Louis as collector for the
Post Dispatch, left here week ago, short
in his accounts, it is alleged, about one
hundred dollars, and came to Kansas
City. Egan was accompanied by his
wife, whom he married in st. Louis in
March. Egan made all plans to go to
work, but his plans were foiled yester-
day by the arrival Of T. L. Marshall, of
the Pest Dispatch. Marshall intended to
have Egan arrested, but finally decided
not to do 80. Mrs. Egan first learned last
night that her husband was accused of
crookedness and quarrel was the result.
This morning she searched his trunk and
found letters showing that he had wife
living in San Francisco. She then
charged him with it and he did not deny
it. He soon left the house and it was
learned boarded train for the West.
During the forenoon Mrs. Egan swore out
a warrant to arrest Egan on charge OF
bigarny. The warrant was turned over
to the Chief of Police and kilograms were
sent out to intercept him.

A JUST JUDGE.
The Bane of the Anarchists Applied
to Jury Bribers.

80 jury -nIADtISs
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE rulings of law
in the Anarchist case by Judge Gray,
that sent Spies and his comrades to the
gsllows, were turned to-day by another
Chicago Judge, Kirk Hawes against the
agents, attorneys and chief officials Of
one of the wealthiest corporations in the
country. The offense in this case was
attempted jury bribing, and the main
offender. Sumner G. Welch, the Claim
Agent of the Chicago City Railway, is
sentenced to term behind the prison
bars, while G. B. Holmes, President of
the Company, and G. M. Hardy, the
Company's attorney, are recommended
to be dealt with by the grand jury. Judge
Hawes holds that the conspiracy rulings
in the Anarchist case, apply as well to
any other conspirators. In rendering his
decision this evening, he sent Welch to
Jail for six months. He held that it was
not necessary that Holmes or Hardy
should have done any positive or
affirmative act, or be present when
it was done. If they in any way aided
or abetted, and that if they did SO aid or
abet, they were as guilty as the actual
criminal. The question as to whether
Holmes and Hardy actually did abet, he
left to the Grand Jury, recommending
that body to investigate their case.
THE CHICAGO CITY RAILWAY
Is perhaps the largest corporation Of the
kind in the country. President Holmes
is very prominent and wealthy citizen,
and Attorney Hardy is leading mem
ber of the bar. The bribery was in an
insignificant little damage suit again 81
the company. Welch approached one Of
the jurors during recess of the court
and endeavored to retain by money his
services in the interests of the company
The Juror Indignantly refused and voted
for the highest verdict against the COM
pany, and afterwards exposed the whole
business to the attorneys for the plain
tiff. This raised storm Of public opin-
ion and brought out much evidence tend.
ing to show that the company's course in
this case was thoroughly systematic and
had been pursued for years in other liti
cation, particularly whenever the COM
pany was in danger of being mulcted fol
damages by unfortunate individuals who
were hurt in accidents on it's forty miles
OF street railroad.
JUDGE HAwEs' DECISION
Is Of extraordinary length, and if printed
in full would cover more than an entire
page Of an ordinary newspaper. 1t is
mostly made up, however, of an analysis
of the testimony. In this the Judge is
extremely clear and painstaking. The
gist of the decision was stated by him in
few strong sentences near the conclu-
sion. "There are few crimes more
despicable, he said, ''or more danger
GUS to the good order of society than
jury bribing and subordination of per-
jury. If we punish with death those
who openly attempt to overthrow the
existing order of society by violence
shall we not put forth every effort to re-
strain those who secretly and by indiret
methods seek to undermine the chic
cornerstone of our social fabric?"

Meeting of the National Committee
for Organization.

New YORK, July 11.-Groups OF dis
tinguished gentlemen stood about the
corridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel for
hours this morning before the Republi-
can National Committee went into ses-

the probable selection of officers to be
named to-day was discussed. The man
most prominently spoken of in connec-
tion with the Chairmanship of the Com
mittee was Senator Quay. His absence
from the meeting was considered as bear
ing out the probability OF his selection.
Congressman Bayre, of Pittsburg, was at
the hotel, prepared to act as proxy for
Quay. He said the latter would accept
if General Harrison desired him to do
80. Among others named as probable
candidates were John G. New, Of Indi-
ana, Clarkson, of Iowa, and Hyde, of
Massachusetts. Senator Platt is most
prominently mentioned as Chairman of
the Executive Committee. w. w. Dud-
ley, of Indiana, was another candidate.
Alta few minutes after IL the Commit
tee went into session, The proceedings
were held in private with ]. S. Blarkson,
of Iowa, as temporary Chairman, and
Samuel Fessenden, of Connecticut, tenn
porary Secretary. After a session OF
about half an hour, the Committee took
recess, having appointed committee
of nine to report plan of organization
and one on candidates for permanent
officers.

New YORK, July 11.-Delegates con-

convention here to-day. The all-im.

migratory scheme, or plan for holding
the convention at different place each

the Western members, and the wire
pulling for votes on the scheme is only
exceeded by the workers connected with

The symptoms of Biliousness ar. un
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to som.
extent. A Bilious man Is sestom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas
he has an excellent appetite for liquid
but none for solids of morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it Is not white and turred
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order and Diarrbea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemorr
holds or even loss of blood. There may
be giddiness and Often headache anG
