Judge Arnoux, on retiring with the un-
conscious man, had announced that Win
dam had only tainted, and it was not
thought by those remaining that it was
as serious as it proved to be.

York. This will bring the widow to this
city by7 o'clock in the morning, and not
until then can any arrangements be
made for the removal of the body.
The scene that ensued when the death

scription in mere words. Gradually the
excitement abated. and death certificate
was issued by Drs. Whitney and Robin
son, giving the cause of death as, first,
cerebral hemorrhage; and second, coma.

HIS LAST SPEECH.
1t was an Address of Unusual I'M
portance.


NEW YORK, Jan. %. = The Tribune
prints Windom's last speech in full, and
says the Sudden death of Secretary Win
dom last evening will invest with more
than ordinary interest the great speech
which he had just made at the dinner of
the Board of Trade. 1t was an address of
unusual importance, strength and peril
nency. The occasion upon which it was
delivered, and the particular topic as
signed 10 the speaker, enabled him to ap-
propriately dwell upon two subjects now
engaging public attention in marked de-
gree-the revival OF our merchant marine
and the unlimited coinage OF silver.
These are subjects which many states
men, and many whose responsibility for
their treatment is small in comparison
with Windom's, discuss warily and with
an eye to favor factions and sections
rather than in the permanent interest of
the country; but the Secretary, to his
credit, spoke clearly and without reserve,
advocating the practical protection Of our
foreign shipping and condemning any
present return to unlimited coinage, in
arguments that seem to us unanswerable.

Superior Judges Budd and Smith from
two rooms in the new Courthouse, and
to recover the value of the use and oc-

unlawful and wrongful detention thereof.
When the county officers were ordered
to move into the new Courthouse last
Monday, the Superior Judges met and
directed the Sheriff to move their furni
ture into three rooms OIL the second floor
of the building, opposite the Clerks
office, for the reason that the chambers
assigned by the Supervisors on the third
floor were deemed unsuitable for the pur-
pose.
The Judges were moved into two
rooms which the Supervisors had as
signed to the District Attorney. but
which rooms in the two original plans
were designed for the Probate Judges
chambers. One of these rooms was com
pleted before the Judges moved in, but
the Supervisors refused to carpet the
other rooms, and the Judges are now oc-
cupying them with bare floors. In
proper time they will order the furnish

more than during any other decade in all

there has been no increase is Vermont,

CRUISER SAN FRANCISCO,
She is Highly Praised for Her Seagoing
Qualities.

Sne Is H1gnly PraiSed Tor Her SeagOing

VALLEJO, Jan. 29.-The cruiser San
Francisco returned to the navy-yard We'd
nesday evening from her trial trip. The
members ofthe Board of Officers that went
out to report the result of her trip and
all the officers of the ship speak in the
highest terms of praise regarding the sea-
going qualities of the ship. The weather
outside was rough, and served well to try
her. She passed right along at a speed of
eleven or twelve knots without shipping
seas. Some spray flew up on the bridge,
but not enough to wet the spar deck. The
run was made as far down the coast as
Point Sur, few miles below Monterey.
In slowing down and turning about the
ship behaved splendidly, even when the
sea was running very high. No attempt
was made at speeding her. In running at
twelve-knot speed the engine appeared
to make no extra effort.
The guns were tested singly and broad
side, and the ship did not appear to feel
any effect from the conclusion, and no
strain was manifested in her. In firing
the broadside guns it is reported that
four of the vertical shields We're slightly
cracked, and a couple of lugs on two of
the gun carriages were broken off. This
will necessitate their repair. The guns
and shields that were placed on board
from the Charleston worked well and
suffered no accident. The shields that
were cracked are the ones recently sent
from the East for the San Francisco, and
appear not to have been made heavy
enough to withstand the shock of the re-
coil.
One of the men rated as oiler got his
ankle between the machinery, stripping
the flesh ofthe ankle bone clean off.
