That animals are affected in advance by
atmospheric disturbances is undeniab1e,
but Dr.. Abbott held, in ansaddress before
the Trenton Natural History Society in
1888, that the autumnal habits of certain
animals are not to be depended upon as in
dicative of the character of an approaching
winter, although the majority of country
folk believe to the contrary. DIR. Abbott
kept a careful record, extending over
twenty years, regarding the building Of
winter houses by muskrats, the storing of
nuts by squirrels, and other habits of these
mammals, and found they bore no relation
to the character Of the coming winter.

Mayor Crieger, of Chicago.

CHICAGO, H., April 9.-The reported
Cregier out of his office by having last
Tuesdays election declared Illegal, did
not materiahze this morning as WAS
promised. Lawyer Sevens, who ap-
piled for an injunction last evening and
was told by Judge Jameson to come
INTO court this morning, did not appear,
nor did the election commissioner
whom Mr.. Stevens was to notify OF his
application Tor an order of coz to
keep them from counting the bahots.
Master IN Ctancery Boyle, who ex-
amined Mr.. Stevens biz and reported
IN favor o, an Injunction, was seen by 8
reporter. Mr.. Boyle said they asked
for an injunction to restrain the
election commissioners from count
Ing the vote cast in section %
OF the town of Jefferson Under
the decision of the supreme court, rem
dered few days before the election
that section became a part of the town
OF West Chicago, and it is contended
that it would be unfair to count its vote
with the vote cast in Jefferson. The
complainant in this bill is Russell,
the Republican candidate for as
SCISSOR in Jefferson, who is
defeated If section - is counted in. and
who will BE declared e'ected il it can be
thrown out. Mr. Boyle said that wheth-
er the decision of the supreme court af-
fected the vote for mayor in Chicago
was grave question, but that Russel's
bill had nothing to do with the city di-
rectly.
Mayor Roche, when asked about the
matter, said that he had no desire to
take any technical advantage of the
situation, and that, as soon as it should
appear that he was no longer
mayor he would vacate. The
question was as to the validity o.
title OF the Democratic candidates
in the recent election. He did not
think the Republican party, as party,
should contest the election. but it might
be necessary for the outgoing officers,
Tor the protection OF the city's interests,
to assure themselves of the legality of
their actions, before turning over their
offices to their Democratic successors,

Henry NJ. Stanley's letter to the Roy
al Geographical Society, of London, was
read at the meeting of that body on the
Hh. The letter consists mainly of
repetition of what has already
been published, He describes at
length the various devices by
which the natives endeavored
to prevent the advance Of tie expedi-
ton, One of these was to dig sh9 ow
pits across the oath of the column nd
tilt them with skewers, which were
deity covered with leaves. The skew
ers pierced the feet of SANKEY'S men,
inflicting wounds that in many cases
developed into gangrenOus sores. The
men who were lamed in this
manner were seldom of further
service. Mr.. Stanley calls the ma
tives cunning rogues," and says
that for the purpose Of extortion
they always pretended that the country
was suffering from a famine. The
'frlendlies," he saws, withheld infor-
nation, but the natives who were cap-
tured by the expedition impaired all
they knew. Mr.. Stanley believes that
the lake he discovered in 1876 belongs
10 the Congo.

plaintiffs in error, VS.. the city
OF Watertown, in error to the
circuit court of the United States !or the
Western District of Wisconsin. These
are ali suits brought to recover the value
OF bonds issued by the city of Water
town. The city's charter provides that
all suits against the city must be by
service of process on the mayor, and the
law OF Wisconsin declares that suit shall
not be considered to have commenced
until process has been served. The
plaintiffs in these cases served process
on various city officers. but were unable
to serve process on the mayor, for the
reason that that officer, to elude SER
vice, resigned Office as soon as sworn
III. In 1888, the city voluntarily
ent cred an appearance in suits
brought against 1t, alleging that the
actions were barred by the statute of
limitations. The plaintiffs demurred to
this plea on the grounds that service
had been made or attempted; that suit
had therefore been begun within the
time prescribed by the statute of limita-
tons, and that conspiracy to defraud
them existed on the part of the city
officers. The circuit court gave
judgments for the city, how
ever, stating that under the Wis
censin laws, suits could not
be held to have begun until actual
service of process, and that this not
having been done within the prescribed
time the suits were barred.
This court, in opinions by Justice
Bradley, athrms the judgments. The
court holds that it must follow the opin-
ions of the state courts in this matter,
and that it can grant no relief unless the
constitution of the United States is vio-
lated, which is not alleged. The courts,
1t says, have no power in such
cases. The states have right
to enact laws of the character
involved in these cases, and an appeal
must be to the Legislature and not to
the courts. The question of conspiracy
is disposed of with the statement that
action OF fraud cannot lie against mt
nicipal corporation. Judgments af-

MILLIONS AT STAKE.
Decision in the Celebrated Ontonagon
Land Case.

MARQUETTE, Mich, April S.-The reg
lister and receiver OF the land Office for
this district have decided in favor of
the scrip locations on the lands
within the indemnity limits Of
the old Marquette, Houghton &
Ontonagon Railroad grant recently de-
clared forfeited, as against the home
stead and preenption settlers, who
claimed the lands in dispute by virtue
of actual entry thereon as soon as they
were thrown open to entry as against
the scrippers, who had previously ap-
piled for the lands.
The land on which the scrip entries
lie is 5000 acres of valuable timber,
which was restored TO the public do
main October, 1887, and to which the
company abandoned the claim in
October, 1888. By the decis-
ion of the land commissioner the
land was made subject to en-
try on August 10, 1887, and settlers were
given till October 10, 1887, to file their
applications. Scrip claims were laid on
these lands in 1888 and 1885, and
promptly renewed October 10, 1887,
early in the morning, anticipating the
settlers filing. The legal question in
VOWED was whether or not the scrip
entrymen could acquire any rights prior
to making actual rehling on October 10.
The decision is that the scrip mems
claims are good.
The cases will now be appealed to the
commissioner for firal adjudication. 1t
will take year TO clear this land office
of the cases already in litigation. and
much longer to reach final settlement.
The lands are worth over $1,000 900.

form were tossed into the street head
