PUT OFF FOR AWHILE.
Additional Jail Property Will Not Be
Necessary Now.
HEATING APPARATUS TO BE MOVED
To the Old Criminal Court Building, Pro-
viding More Room.
A DAYS GLFANINGS FROM THE COURTS

The subject of purchasing additional Jail
property has been postponed, and possibly
will not come up again in many years. As
stated in THE DISPATCH recently, the re-
moval of the boilers and other heating ap-
paratus from the Jail proper to the old
Criminal Court building will provide all
the room necessary in the Jail for some
years.
This was the only subject of importance
considered at a meeting of the County
Prison Board yesterday. The Commits
sioners reported to the board that they have
in contemplation using the old criminal
court property for engineering, heating,
etc, and that that they do not deem it ad-
visable to purchase or condemn other prop
erty for Jail purposes
A discussion of the matter ensued, and it
was developed that by the removal of the
light and heating plant from the Jail
premises there would be room enough made
in which to construct another wing, holding
from 100 to $50 prisoners.
The board, as result, unanimously
adopted resolution postponing further
consideration of the subject of purchasing
more ground.

were married November H. 1889, and it is
alleged he deserted her November %, 1885.

alive, but Colfax died in 1856.
The careers of Blaine, Kerr, Randall,
Eeifer Carlisle and Reed, the succeeding
Speakers, are SO recent and familiar as to
require no repetition here. In this connec-
ton, it may be said that while Speaker of
the House Blaine incurred the enmity of
Ben Butler, regarding the membership of a
committee. Butler never forgave the un-
questioned trick that was played upon him
at the time and to this fact, in great meas

of 1884.

concluded by union of PENNSYLVANIA and
New York members, who wanted to obtain
control of certain committees. Although
well up in the rules he was so partisan in
his methods, and withal so slow and tire
some, that he failed to receive even the Gus
tomary complimentary vote from his own
party at the conclusion of his term.

BLACK GETS HIS MONEY,
One of the Lawrence Bank Depositors'
Who Comes Out Even.

One of the Lawrence Bank Depositors.
Who Comes Out Even.
An opinion in one branch. of the Law
renee Bank was handed down by Judge
White yesterday, in favor of Alexander
Black, one of the depositors. Knowing the
condition Of the bank, the officials accepted
certain deposits and placed them in en-
velopes, apart from the regular deposits.
When Black demanded return of his
money it was refused by the auditor, pend
ing decision of the court. On the part of
the creditors exceptions were filed, praying
that the money be included among the
other funds for general distribution. In
dismissing the exceptions and granting
Blacks petition the Court says:
"When Black deposited the money he in
tended it as a regular deposit. If the bank
had so received it he might not have re-
covered it. But it was placed in an en-
velope with his name marked on it, and the
amount not entered upon the books of the
bank. All the grounds of a rule that in
solvency will not enable the depositor to re-
cover back his deposit where it has mingled
with the other funds Of the bank, fail when
applied to case of this kind"

and met yesterday to act on petition of
the crier and tipstaves of the Criminal
Court for an increase in salary. The tip
slaves at present receive $500 per year and
asked to be increased to $1,000. They were
granted an increase of 500 a year, and the
crier was raised to 81, 200. At the same time
the judges adopted new rule not asked for
and probably not liked by the officers. It
is that hereafter the tipstaves shall be ap-
pointed for one year instead of during good
behavior as heretofore. The term will be
from the first Monday of December to the
same date of the following year. The Off

As will be observed, the Southern States
have been more favored than the Northern
in one sense, eight States from thaS section
having had the honor to six in the othe:.
However, as regards time, the North leads
with 50 out of total of 102 years. If Crisp
and McMillin should both be defeated this
week (this was written before the caucus
yesterday, and either one of the other three
prominent candidates, Mills, Hatch or
Springer, be chosen, a new State will have
entered the list Again, if either Mills or
Hatch win it will be the first time the
speakership has crossed the Mississippi.
Thus, notwithstanding the fact that the
United States are nearly 5000 miles wide,
this important Office has never been allowed
to stray beyond 800 from its home at the
Capitol Kentucky alone has held the
Office for more than one-ffth the time since
the foundation of the Government. Penn
sylvania started out strongly with Mullen
berg, but, after his second term, was not
again recognized for II years.

tion, gave rise to the belief still held, that
fate is arrayed against ambitious Speakers
of the House.
Langdon Cheves, of South Carolina, was
chosen to complete Clays's term in the
Thirteenth Congress- 1t is not likely his
tenure changed the history of that body in
the least. When Clay resigned again dur
ing the Sixteenth session, John W. Taylor,
of New York, finished what was left of his
term. Philip P. Barbour, of Virginia,
welded the gavel in the Seventeenth and
Clay tried it again in the Eighteenth. Tay-
lor, in turn, was called upon again in the
Nineteenth and then came Andrew Steven
son, of Virginia, for three and part of
fourth Congress.
John Bell, of Tennessee, filled out the un-
expired term of Stevenson. Bell is, with
Clay, the best known of the earlier Speak
ers, although he was the twelfth to hold the
position. His career is extremely interest
ing. He was an active worker with Clay
in the Whig party, member OF both
Houses, Secretary of War in Harrison's
Cabinet and a candidate for President on
the Constitutional Union ticket. The very
next year we find him fighting to dissolve
that union, and Edward Everett, the can
didate for Vice President with him, endeav-
ing to preserve it.

permanently and get down to business
This was done, and then from among dis
tinguished company, including such men as
James Madison, Roger Sherman, Fisher
Ames and Elias Boudinot, there was chosen
as Speaker one of the most able men the
grand old keystone State ever has produced,
T. A. G. Muhlenberg.
The contest for the position was not char
acterized by the hard political work that
usually precedes the same affair in these
days. When the first Speaker of the House
Of Representatives was elected the lines di-
viding the parties and issues were not so
sharply defined, and the best man received
the honor. Including Muhlenberg and
Reed, 81 different Speakers have presided
over the Lower House during 81 different
Congresses. This allows an average of
about one and two-thirds of session to
each. Andrew Stevenson, Of Virginia, held
the Office the longest continuous period,
seven and a half years, but Henry Clay
could have beaten him if his three different
terms had been joined together.

R. M. T. Hunter was Speaker of the
Twenty-sixth Congress. He was very con-
spicuous political figure at that time and
for many years afterward. His name was
often mentioned in connection with the
Presidency, and he came very near being

Jefferson Davis deprived him Of that doubt
f,l honor but Hunter was completely ruined
by the failure of the cause and retired to
home in Virginia, where he died four years
ago, unknown and forgotten.

recover. To get and use the goods and then
refuse to pay for them is downright dis
honesty. Upon the facts we think the law
is with the defendant and judgment is
therefore entered.
