Costly Litigation.

A case involving seventy-five cents
claimed by man in Toledo to be due
him from another Toledoan for COW feed
has just been appealed from a Justices
court in that city to the Lucas common
pleas. The plaintiff says he will spend
his last dollar to collect the money by
process of law. and the defendant says
he will sacrifice every cent he has in the
fight to resist payment. The result will
probably be that the litigants will spend
several hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
their own money and involve the county
in the expenditure of large sum, all to
crafty their personal i'll feeling. There
ought to be a provision Of law covering
such petty cases, making the decisions
of justices final. 1t is an outrage on the
taxpayers to permit the appeal of such
insignificant cases to higher court,
where valuable time is consumed by
them that should be devoted to more i'm
portant matters, and the county is in
volved in a great expense simply to
crafty the personal spite of obstinate
itigants. -Sandusky Register

THE SALTON SEA.
ENGINEER HAYWOOD THINKS THE
WORST is OVER.
1t Only Rose an Inch in Forty-eight Hours
What a Passenger Saw-No News
as Yet From Harry Patton.

Engineer Hawgood, OF the Southern
Pacific, was juhilant yesterday about
the Salton sea. He said that dispatch
from Superintendent Durbrow, of
the salt mines, received yester-
day afternoon, stated that the
rise in the water at Salton for the
forty-eight hours ending at 80 yester-
day morning, was only one inch. This
Mr.. Hawgood held was sure indication
that the food had reached its highest
point. and would commence to fall very
soon.
A curious fact was learned from Mr.,
Hawgood regarding the matter OF evap-
grafton at Salton. Most people have
supposed that the evaporation there
was something phenomenal, and that
the air was exceptionally dry. Quite
the contrary is the case.
Observations for three days at Saton,
show a maximum evaporation of Sc
inches, and minimum of rs inches.
Mr.. Hawgood said that in 1885, in Bos-
ton, Mass, recorded observations
showed, in July, as a maximum of that
observation, ga inches, and in Decem-
ber of so inches.
DR.. Boynton returned yesterday from
Yuma. He said the sea could be seen
for distance of 134 miles along the
Southern Pacific track. At Salton the
building at the salt works the furthest
away from the road, appeared to be half
under water. At Yuma the Colorado
had been falling foot each day for
several days past, and the water runs
thick and muddy, while the water in
the Salton sea was clear as crystal.
No news has been received from Harry
Patton, the editor of the Banning Her
aid, who left Yuma last Thursday in
small boat, intending to 60 down the Col
orado until he found the source of the
supply of the Salton flood. Some peo-
pie fear he is lost, but there is no evil
dence to that end. There are no means
of communication from the country
south of Yuma, and it is very possible
that it may take some days yet, for him
to get back to civilization. The journey
was hazardous one, but there is no
reason as yet for any apprehension of
disaster to the plucky editor.

instructed the town attorney to draw up
an ordinance for the calling of an cleo

Driven by . Corpse.

Cabman Thomas Gilbert died on his
box while driving a passenger to the
West Side Union depot. After the Chi.
cago Opera house was built Gilbert made
his stand at the southwest corner of
Clark and Washington streets. He was
there at o'clock, when a man stepped
into his cab and said, ''Drive me in a
hurry to the West Side Union depot"
Gilbert climbed on the box, and gather
ing up the lines swung his horse into
Washington street and headed west. A
crowd of people was surging into the
Chicago Opera house when the cab rat
tied by. Some one noticed Gilbert.s head
droop and then fall over on his breast.
The whip fell from his hand and he
clutched at the iron rod of the box.
"That cabman's dying" said the man
who had noticed Gilbert's actions. He
followed the cab. Three or four others
followed him. The horse trotted along
Washington street and stopped for a
moment at La Sale to let Milwaukee
avenue cable train pass by. At Fifth
avenue the men who had followed the
cab from the Chicago Opera house over
took it and one Of them grabbed the bit.
The occupant of the cab leaped out and
demanded what right the stranger had
to stop the horse. Il have only ten min
utes to make my train," he said excited
ly, ''and paid this cabman in advance
to haul me to the Union depot"
"You will never reach the Union de-
pot with this driver" said the man who
stopped the horse. 'Look up there and
you will see that you are being driven
by corpse" Two men climbed on top
of the vehicle and lifted the driver off.
He was dead His fingers were twined
around the iron rod Of the seat.-Chicago

Spontaneous Homage to an Artist.

A pretty scene took place on Tuesday
at the art exhibition of Buda-Pesth. A
competition had been opened for mon
ument to the Hungarians who fought for
freedom in 1848, and nine models are at
present being exhibited pending the de-
cision of the jury. Tuesday a fashion
able crowd was discussing the merits of
the works, when a pretty young lady,
following sudden impulse, took little
bunch of violets from her dress and laid
it on the pedestal Of one of the models.
All the women present crowded round,
applauding her choice, and each in turn
laid the flower she was wearing on the
plaster model. which is the work of a
young sculptor named Joseph Konas.
Whether he gains the prize or not he has
certainly been distinguished in very
delicate fashion.-Cor. London News.
