Proceeding in Court.

of W. e. Erskine.
THE NEWS OF TIE COUNTY COURTS

A hearing was had before Judge Porter

session of his 6-year-old daughter Sherry
is the constable employed by Alderman
Richards. He is the husband of Mrs.
Sherry, who few days ago was sentenced
one yesr to the workhouse for illegal
liquor selling.
The child had been with Mrs. Sherry
until her sentence to the yorkhouse, the
couple having separated about four
years ago. Sherry, when his wife
had been sent to the workhouse,
visited her and got an order from her on her
sister, Mrs. James Cavenaugh, for the child.
The sister, however, would not give him the
child, but turned her over to another sister,
Della Hoffstott. Sherry then went into
court and obtained writ of habeas corpus.
At the hearing yesterday q number of
witnesses testified to Sherry's good charac-
ter. He said he wanted to keep tho child
and have his mother care for her. Mrs
Sherry's sisters also wanted the child, but
Judge Porter made an order to have her
given to the father.

New York Bank Statement,
Money in the West.

There seems to be no question but the
money market has now turned the sharpest
corner and that the worst is over in the way
OF stringency. Money is now beginnin. to
come back from the country. A good deal
is still gotng.out to the country, but that loss
erable measure at least, and there is
no longer any feeling ofapprehension ut the
bank over the situation. While the demand
continues active. as must inevitably be the
case with general business ON such an ex-
ceedingly large scale, the resources of the
bank are easily equal to meeting all require.
ments. The future looks like a drm and
active market, but there seems no proba-
biity that legitimate demands will 60 un.
satisfied nor that rates will be unduly ad.

what complicated street railway legislation,
and the Sl,C00000 Il. X. & A. stock is in the
