were attracted by the barking of their
dogs to a place in the woods, and on go.
ing there found the dog had scratched
up the skull of some person. On open
ing the earth Il whole skeleton was
found. Coroner Harden was immedi.
ately summoned who drew a jury at
once. After being in session for some
time 1t was decided that the person vas
a colored boy about ii years old and
known as Matthew Johnson. The evil
tence confirmed the fact that his father
Adam Johnson murdered him in May

New York, July 29.-Aiter a long
period of anxiety the bull traders in
cotton futures had an inning today.
For some time tho day for issuing no.
tices for delivery on August afternoons
was looked forward to with some fear.
as it was believed that sellers would
send out a large volume of notices of
delivery and swampthe market. Today
was the first day for issuing notices, and
the general rule is that most Of the no.
ticeS are sent out as soon as the time of
Issue arrives. a comparatively small
number of notices were sent out, how
ever, indicating that most of the sales
were for short account. This encour-
aged the bulls, who started to buying
shortly after noon, and the shorts rush
ed to cover. Buyer orders from both
sides sent the prices Of all options up
rapidly and gains Of 10 to II points re.
corded.

II or shake down Jericho? How
ig Will it take God, when he once
arises in his strength, to overthrow all
the forces of iniquity? Between this
time and that there may be long seasons
of darkness-the chariot wheels of Gods
Gospel may seem TO drag heavily, but
here is the promise, : I'd Wonder is the
throne; and when On cience has lost
its eyesight and Omnip .ence falls back
impotent and Jehovah is driven from his
throne, then the church of Jesus Christ
can afford to be Respondent, but never
until then. Despots may plan aud
armies may march, and the congresses
OF the nation may seem to think they
are adjusting all the affairs of the world,
but the mighty men of the earth are only
the dust of the chariot wheels of Gods
providence.
L think that before the sun of this cen
fury shall set, the last tyranny may fall,
and with asplendor demonstration that
shall be the establishment ofthe universe
God will set forth the brightness and
pomp and glory and perpetuity of his
eternal government. Out of the starry
flags and the emblazoned insignia of this
world God will make q path for his own
triumph, and returning from universal
conquest he will sit down, the grandest,
strongest, highest throne of earth his
footstool.

REQUIEM MASS.
Then, while the choir chanted the open
ing strains of Wilcox's Requiem Mass, the
usual period of mournful contemplation
was allowed. 1t is needless to say that the
choir rendered the entire music of the
requiem in most impressive fashion. Clara
McGowan was the soprano, Julia l.. Suli-
van The alto. Charles Morel the tenor, and
). j. Sandy the bass. Professor A. Z.
Elmer presided at the organ.
There was an unusually large gathering of
the clergy, in addition to the full attend
ance required for an archiepiscopal celebra-
tor. Archbishop Riordan wore violet
robe, as is customary on such occasions.
The altar-bOys also wore the penitential

were w. FL. Barrows. Joseph Leggett and
ex-Judge Hudson, addressed the meeting.
1t was claimed that the hospital is draw
back to the locality and the cause of the
spread Of sickness in the district on account
OF the open sewage. 1t was urged that
property could not improve in the district
until the institution is removed, and il was
stated that the managers of the hospital pro-
pose to enlarge it, and the property-owners
object to such course.
Inc sentiment was in favor of using all
legal means 10 prevent any additions to the
hospital, so that the managers would be
compelled 10 move away to secure larger
quarters. One of the speakers stated ITO
several members of the Board of Supervisors
had told him no permit would be granted IN
enlarge the hospital, and another stated
that the hospital managers claimed that the
place could be enlarged on the old permit.

SOLFERINE'S BONES.
Many Suspect They Did Not Go
Into the Grave.

The peculiar case of Francisco Solferine.
who died at the County Almshouse few
days ago Of disease hardly known to the
science of medicine, is still under scientific
investigation. Specimens were taken from
all the diseased parts, and are being pre-
pared on slides for microscopical examina-
ton, and DR.. Douglas Montgomery has the
work in hand.
The extreme rarity of the case, this hay
ing been the second case known in Amer
lea, aud the fact that the remains of the de.
ceased would be of such inestimable value
to thesmedical profession, have given rise to
the suspicion that they were never inferred.
but are now in the possession of the med
ical fraternity.
Tie authorities at the Health Office, when
approached on the subject yesterday, scout
ed the idea that there could be any doubt
about 1t. So confident were they, indeed.
that they proposed to order disinterment
that all suspicious might be removed.
1t Is somewhat singular circumstance
that Solferine's countrymen and friends did
not care enough for him to keep him out of
the Almshouse. but the moment they found
out there was some unusual value attached

ment He counSeled with the Board oil
Supervisors, the Street Committee and
others, with the result that resolution was
passed about the middle of June last as
follows:
Resolved, That hereafter for the protection OF
proper ty- owners, as we'll as for the reasons au-
Vanced by the Superintendent OF streets, no
private contracts for street work Will beJecog
nized after This board has declared It's intention
to order tile work proposed, 10 De dcne uhder Inc
provisions OF the street law.
STILL ANOTHER STEP.
This was one step in the right direction,
but II did not go far enough. 1t did not put
a stop to the private contract before the
board had taken hold. Hence the COM
plants came pouring in. Finally 1t was
TO propose the following amendment TO the
old original ordinance of 1880:
Sub. mo permit shall be issued by the Su-
periniendent of Streets for The doug of any
street work under private contract unless said
contract is signed by tie owners or duly author
lied agent OF The owners OF thTee-fouTthS Of the
frontage OF the property liable to be assessed for
The cost of the work proposed, duly verified By
oath OF such owner or agent, ana showing the
number OF front feet represented by such owner.
The board approved of 1t and it was
passed to print at the last meeting. IL Will
undoubtedly become law when the board
meets again.
AN OBSTACLE.
Here the contractor will encounter a
serious obstruction. Ii is understood that
the next step will be to require all private
contracts submitted TO the board for ap-
prevail.
But, in the opinion of many who have
studied the question carefully, the reform
should 90 further by wiping off the NUM-
cipal statute-book altogether the order pro-
vid!ng for private contracts, ard let all
street law, which is ample for ali emer-
eencies, and give all the benefit of COM
petition.
Many maintain that the city ordinance is.
in fact, nullifed by the street law, and that
all street work done under it is illegal.
There is some talk OF testing the question.
and if the contractors get too oppressive, in
all proba ability the threat will be carried out.
