Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, in an adj
dress to saloon keepers, closes with this
strong paragraph: Il tell you plainly
that you will meet your customers one
day when there will be no counter be-
tween you. When your work is done on
earth, and you enter the reward of your
business, all the souls of the men whom
you have destroyed will crowd around
you, and pour their bitterness in your
cup. They will show you their wounds,
and say, You made them; and point to
their unquenchable thirst. and say, You
kindled it; and rattle their chain, and
say, You forged it Then their united
groans will smite your ear; and with the
hands out of which you once picked the
sixpences and the dimes, they will push
you off the verge of great precipices;
while rolling up from beneath, and
breaking among the crags of death, will
thunder, Woe to him that giveth his
neighbor drink!''

in every walk OF life. They had come
into the hot and stutly court room to
witness what they thought was to be the
i browning degradation OF the man VIII )m
a few months ago they all gladly ac-
knowledged as their friend, John Baids-
ley, the faithless treasurer of the city
and the self confessed violator of the
laws.
Two week ago, when Bardsley plead
ed guilty to the many charges against
him, the court fixed to day as the time to
pass sentence upon him. Public eXpec.
tation has been wrought up by promise
that when h. was brought into court
Bardsley would make full and free
confession of bis ma!feasance.
BY many it was thought that in his
statement or confession Bardsley would
implcate men high in business and off.
cial life, men whose names have only
been limited at but who were supposed to
be his contederates. Such expectations
proved grouudless, for Bardsley's con.
fession practically confessed nothing
that has not been made public through
the newspapers:
The confession WAS more in a line of
defence of his own conduct and was ex-
ceedngly specious and fair, seemingly
giving in detail his various Transactions.

REAL ESTATE.
A Healthy Market and Very Good
Prospects.
Only for Different Ideas of Values Between
Intending Buyers and Sellers Business
Would Be Brisk Notes.

One of the most extensive real estate
operators in this city is authority for the
statement that the market is more healthy
this month than in January, 1890 The
agents are nearly all of the same mind re-
garding the prospects. They say that the
present outlook is much more favorable
than the promises of last January. 1t is a
dull month generally in real estate move
ments, but now good business is reported,
and agents are preparing for an unusually
active season. Buyers and sellers must
come closer together, particularly in city
transfers, the former by getting rid of the
idea that his property is really worth an
almost inflated figure, which the intending
purchaser regards askance. The result is
considerable caution and timidity in making
large investments.
INFLUENCE OF AUCTIONS.
Sale by auction is looked to as the best
means TO solve this difficulty, and the COM
ing auctions are expected to feel the in
yestor's pulse while establishing fair and
sound values for good property. Even now
three big public sales are on the way.
The first will be the grand union sale in
the Real Estate Exchange, the others by O.
D. Baldwin, Joost 81 Mertens and EaSton,
Eldridge IL Co. These will establish a basis
for ''red-hot" market.

r. U. Piper, who was witness in the
Sharon marriages. contract case, and who tes-
titled yesterday that he has for twenty years
been engaged in the business of exporting
handwriting. His residence is W ashington,
ID. T., and he has been called as a witness
hundreds of times as an expert in the
United States and Canada. His age is z
years.
When the alleged will Of Dana was shown
him he said that he had seen it several times
and had also examined il in tue courtroom
and elsewhere, aud had furthermore exam-
ined photographs of it. He then testified
substantially as follows:
- have mate copies and diagrams of let
tiers supposed to be Dama's aud compared
them letter by letter ANA point by point with

Supervisors Unconsciousiy in Contempt
of Court.
When the injunction in the proceedings
commenced by the Stock Report against the
Supervisors was served on the members of
that body on Monday night, they supposed
that it related simply and solely to the reso-
luton repeating the proceedings by which
"the Solid Nine" awarded the contract for
public printing to the Report. and did not
notice that the resolution which provided
for the distribution of what is commonly
styled general printing" was included in
the restraining order; hence when the reso-
luton referred TO came up in its usual course
il was adopted.
The error was not noticed until yesterday
morning, when Clerk RusselPs attention
was called to the fact that the board was
really guilty of contempt of court MIR.
Russell at once notified the Mayor, and
special meeting WAS called to reconsider the
action. The resolution was referred back
to the Committee on Printing.
Mr.. Russell explained to the board that
the attorneys in the injunction suit had
made an error in including the general print
ing with the public printing, as the law
plainly specifics that the general printing
shall be done by three papers other than the
official DaDar of the CITY
