Since his fate was settled he has been changed man, and through the efforts of minister is prepared for death. Vincent's friends have been try ing hard to secure clemency from Governor Beaver, but so far without success

Wonderful Operation on a Human E,

Wonderful Operation a Human Eye.
 PHILADELPHIA, May S.-Mrs. Annie Schick, the subject of Dr. L. Webster Fox's recent remarkable operation of transplanting DOT tion of the cornea of rabbits eye to that of human being, was examined by the physi- clan yesterday, and the graft was not only found to be entirely successful, but the patient was enabled to distinguish objects at dis tance of several feet. It is confidently be- lieved that complete vision will be restored to the eye operated upon, and when this has been accomplished similar operation will be made upon her other eye, which is almost completely obscured by an opaque surface.

 THE report that Melville w. Fuller, re- gently appointed chief justice by President Cleveland, would not accept the position, is without foundation. MT Fuller has always been consistent democrat. He was delegate to the democratic national conventions of 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880. The president has been anxious to give him an office ever since the beginning of his administration, and has offered him successively the positions of solicitor general, now filled by MT Jenks; the civil service commissionership, which MT Oberly accepted; the Pacific railroad com missionership, to which MT Littler was afterward appointed, and the interstate commerce commissionship, which Hon w. R. Morrison afterward received. He de- clined all of them, but the last and greatest he has accepted. The president has always had the happy faculty of making good appointments, and even republicans join in praising MT Cleveland for the good judgment shown in making the selection for this most responsible position.

New YOrk's Half Holiday Bill Vetoed.
 ALBANY, May 8.-The text of Governor Hills veto of the half holiday act says that although the law which established half holi- days less than a year ago has not met with the expected degree of public approval, it is evident that the law has not had fair trial, and Governor Hill thinks no law repeating it or altering, as does the one vetoed, should be passed before the original law has been in orce at least one year longer.

As Senator Ingalls, is to speak on the subject of the presidents message for the second time next Tuesday, it may be not inappropriate to remind him that there are still number of the nations heroes whom he has not yet traduced. Washington, Green and Waynes, of the Revolutionary period; Jackson and Scott of the time of 1872, and the score of others who in the war with Mexico earned an honest claim to grateful remembrance, might be attacked with as much appropriateness as Hancock from Kansas fair chance to knock him. self out entirely.

from the freshet is ap~prehended. The
highest point reached here was twenty

The Moore-Norton case.

ST. LOUIS. July 1.-Dispatches from
Topeka say that the hearing on the ap-
plication of a writ of habeas corpus on
behalf of Moore and Mrs. Norton has
been postponed until tomorrow. Mrs.
Norton is said to be very nervous to day,
and clings still closer to Moore, and most
fervently AYERS that she will not be separ
ated from him. Moore and Mrs. Norton
were o informed until this morning, and
it was known to no one but the officers.
that a complaint was filed by County At
tornY Curtis late last evening before
Justice Searle against them, charging
that violation of the state law under sec.
ton IL, in relation to marriages, which
makes 1t a misdemeanor for unmarried
couples to live together as man and wife,
and fixes the penalty at not less than $500
nor more than 81 900, or not less than
Thirty days nor more than three months
imprisonment. Had they been released
to-day they would have been Immediately
arrested on the above charge. 1t IS not
likely the warrant will be served until
they are released.
II don't have much faith in these
habeas corpus proceedings" said Moore
to q correspondent this morning.
Then YOU will probably have to go
back with the oficers?"
well, it looks that way, | must ad-
init; but, my God, | do hate to return to
st. Louis"
What is your objection2"
well, | had made up my mind |
would never set my foot in st. Louis
again. | do nos hate to go back because
| have to answer to the charge of grand
larceny. John w. Norton cannot bring
one iota Of proof against me, but it is my
going back to St. Louis that l dread, for
there has been so much said about this
escapade of mine in st. Louis that | do
not wan to see the city again, nor do |
want to see anybody there"
Judge Laughlin, attorney tor Norton,
and Capt. johnson, attorney for Moore,
held a long consultation this afternoon in
Judge Laughlin's room. Capt. johnson
said at the close of the consultation:
Negotiations are in progress between
us which may lead to a settlement Of the
affair"
The condition on which Judge Laugh
lin proposes to settle it without going into
the courts is that Moore shall leave the
country, and that Mrs. Norton shall re
turn to st. Louis and give up the papers
she has in her possession. This PROPOSE.
tloh has Deeu lnaue ny NORTON, Dut neither
Moore nor Mrs. Norton will agree to it.
Still he hopes that he will settle the mat
ter without the aid of the courts. Both
Moore and the woman declare that they
will not separate.
Mrs. Norton is suffering tonight from
intense nervous prostration. She has
very little to say, and that little is decid-
edlY contradictory. For the first time the
statement attributed to her husband that
she is not right in her mind begins to find
credence.
