giving the results of visits paid by him
to the principal foreign ports of en-

case compares with the examinations
made at New York by the officers of the

are entirely different, the purpose of the

Sensational Developments in the Suits
Against Cook County.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. PA sensation
was sprung in Judge Terhune's court
when the suits of the Cook County
"boodlers" against the county were
called. There were six suits in all, the
plaintiffs bring William J. McGarigle,
Edward S. Mcdonald, the old engineer
of the Cook County Hospitals d. T.
Boyle & Co., F. Bartholomew & Co., j.
w. Murphy and Charles Sokup.
Attorney Terhune sprang a sur
prise by filing additional pleas and
q notice of set-off in each case.
The set-offs in each case are for $IO,-
600. The claim is made that if the
plaintiffs can recover for their services
the county is entitled to recover back
from them the money paid for theirserv-
ices, not knowing that they were en-
gagged in an attempt to defraud it. The
snt-offs seek to recover not only the
..laries paid Mcdonald and McGarigle
during 1886, but also for the board
and lodging of themselves and fami-
lies, which they received at the county
hospital and at the county's expense
during that period.

A QUEER ROMANCE.
Physician Goes to Florida to Get a
Wife.

Wife.
A dispatch of the 23d from Jackson
vile, Fla, says: CDR. w. r. Congdon,
a wealty and highly respected physician
of Bristol, Ind, was found here to-day
by a Chicago detective. Congdon dis
appeared on the night of November II,
and was thought to have been MUIR
dered. He had drawn $1,000 from a
bank on that day, and two days later
his overcoat, revolver and empty peck
etbook were found by the roadside two
miles outside the town. Two chambers
of the revolver had been discharged.
On Saturday following, letter from
him to young lady in Elkhart,
Ind, accidentally fell into other hands.
It was from New York and stated that
he was about to sail for Florida He ar
rived here Monday, but was disguised
by having colored his light hair and
moustache a jet black. Newspaper men
have been working the case for two
days and to-day a reporter, together
with the detective, located the fugitive.
He says that he wanted to marry Miss
Daisy Curtis, of Elkhart, but feared his
mother and sister would object because
she was poor. So he planned with her
to run away, leaving an impression that
he had been murdered. He intended
to establish himself here, then get the
Young girl to reveal his whereabouts to
his mother, thus reconciling his peo-
pie to the match, and then marry her.
He will return to Indiana tomorrow,
and will marry the girl"

Hard Lines at Topolobampo.

A woman just returned to Abilene,
Kas., from Topolobampo, the co-opera-
tive colony on the western coast of
Mexico, says the colonists are suffering
great hardship for lack of proper habi-
tation, food. and the conYeniences to
mnlcn they were accustomed in their
Eastern homes. The crops, she says,
have been failures for two years past.
The colonists have been unable tc
make satisfactory, or even q reason
able living, and many of them are will
ing and anxious to return home. The
women, she SAYS, suffer most. The
climate seems to sap their very life
with its heat. The food becomes quick
ly infected with worms and insects,
until they are obliged to eat with their
eyes shut. The legs of the dining tables
are set in pans of water to keep the ants
from swarming over the table, and the
reserve food is hung from the roof by
wires to keep the ants from it. With
lizards, flies, snakes and all manner of
creeping insects swarming, it is misery
to live. Three hundred colonists started
for there week ago.

And Now the Surgeons are Grating New
A Detroit dispatch Of the goth says
Last week Matilda Orsech, aged 10, was
completely scalped by having her hair
caught in the shafting of grain ele-
vator. 1t was decided to graft skin
from the body of the little
girls sister Emma, who hero
ically consented to the opera
ton which was performed to-day.
The child's head before the operation
presented exactly the same appearance
from the eyebrows over to the nape of
the neck, as that of a skeleton, except
in places, where small portions of the
muscle and tissue adhered. A piece of
skin eight inches long by five and a
half wide, and of an oval shape,
was cut from the right side
of Emma's body, leaving the upper
end attached near the breast. When
this flap of cuticle was prepared, the
children were laid together on a table,
and the flap was firmly fastened with
stitches to the right side of the injured
child's head. Then the children were
bandaged together in such way as to
prevent them breaking their Siamese
bond. If this preliminary operation is
successful, the remaining portion of the
head will be treated by similar opera
tion -

BISHOP KING CENSURED.
The London Dfvine's Rftua1istic Prac

The London Divine's Ritua1istic Prac
tees Held to be Irregular.
LONDON, Nov. 21.-The Archbishop OF
Canterbury has delivered judgment
against Rev. DR.. Edward King, bishop
of Lincoln, who was charged with irreg
ular ritualistic practices, regarding the
jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical court
and his obligation to obey the rubrical
directions in the prayer book. The Arch
bishop suspended judgment in regard
to the Bishops rubrical irregularities,
as the mixing of water with the wine
used in the act of conservation, the
archbishop holds, infringed the law Of
the church, but the use of a mixed
chalice prepared before hand did not
offend the ecclesiastical law. The
charge against the Bishop regarding
ablution was dismissed, in not
being supported by the evidence. The
Archbishop decided that King IS action in
turning his face to the east during COM
munion, and thus making his manual
acts invisible, was illegal. The acts
must be visible to. the congregation.
The singing Of the hymn "Agnus Del"
during communion was not illegal.

Improved Condition of Our Cities From a
Financial View.
The financial condition, in 1890. of S58
cities and large towns is shown in bull
letin No. IA, issued by the census office.
The bonded debt for 1890 shows an in
crease Of s per cent, as compared with
1880; the floating debt has decreased Il
per cent; the increase in the total debt
is 7 per cent. The total available re-
sources have increased so per cent.
since 1880. The southern. cities and
towns have increased their debts by
$3, 577 ,34S, but have increased their re-
sources by $42O,697; their net increase
in debt is S., 1864. Western cities and
towns have increased both debts and re-
sources. The net increase in debt is
81, 124, 1893. The cities and towns con-
sidered in the territories have increased
their debts $50, SIT; net increase in debt
is S47 SIT. The total available resources
are 1896 per cent. of the gross debt.
The Western states showed an average
interest charge of 5.7S per cent. in 1880;
in 1890 it had fallen to $50. The gener-
al average interest for the United States
in 1880 was Sal per cent; in 1890 it had

A Combine of Makers of Harvesting
Machinery.

A Combine of Makers of Harvesting
Machinery.
The charter has been filed in Spring
field, ILL.,, Of the American Harvester
Company, for the manufacture of har-
vesting machinery, with a capital stock
of $50 100000. Twenty or more COM
panies are in the pool. The directors of
the new company will be Cyrus H. Nc.
Cormick, William Deering, the Hon.
Walter A. Wood, Lewis Miller,
Col. A. l.. Con2er and Gen.
A, s. Bushnell. "The purpose
of the new company is the
building of harvesting machines" said
Col. Conger. ''The present demoraliza-
ton of the business necessitated the for
nation of a new company. | can recall
over eighty different companies engaged
in the business which have failed, en-
failing loss upon farmers, laboring
men and manufacturers and others of
between 100000 and $4,000, OOO
While some of the companies have been
successful, the general condition of
the business was such that it
became necessary to give the
farmers better machines at lower
prices, if possible, without disaster to
the manufacturer. For several years
manufacturers have been selling ma
chimes at SO low price as to give them
no fairly compromising profit. The cost
of materials has been advancing so that
it has become necessary either to raise
the price of machines to the farmer or
through economy produce and distrib-
ute them more cheaply, as it is the pur-
pose and expectation of this new organ
ization to do"

THE HAGUE, Nov. 23.-The king of
Holland died at 6 o'clock this morning.
Last evening there was sudden change
for the worse in the Kings condition,
the symptoms being those of uremia.
The queen was Immediately sent for,
and stayed at the patients bedside dur
ing the night. Life ebbed away quickly
The public buildings are closed and all
amusements have been suspended. The
ministers assembled in council at noon.
The shutters Of the royal palace are

Four physicians have made an autop-
sy on the kings body. The features of
the king have not changed. The body
lies on bed, and is covered with palms.
Court chamberlains are in constant
watch. The body will be embalmed
and will be placed in coffin on Tues

conveyed to the palace at the Hague,
followed by the royal family. Princess
Wilhelmina gathered flowers in her

her fathers deathbed. The minister OF
the colonies and the minister of justice
have prepared declaration in regard
