Hancock has scarcely time to sign his
bold name, before the pen is grasped by
another, another, and another. Look
how their names blaze on the parchment,
Adams and Lee and Jefferson and Oar

maker. And here comes good old Hop
kins; yes, trembling with palsy, he tot
ters forward, quivering from head to
foot. With his shaking hand he seizes
the pen and scratches his patriot name.
Then comes Benjamin Franklin, the
printer. And now the tall man in the red
coax advances, the man who made the
fiery speech a few moments ago. With
the same hand that wavered in such fiery
scorn he writes his name Patrick Henry.
And n ow the parchment is signed; and
now let the word go forth to the people
in the streets, to the homes in America,
to the camp Of Washington, to the palace
of George, the idiot king; let the word go
out to all the earth.

The old city hall around which clings
so many "reminiscences, will soon be a
thing of the past. The site on which it
now stands, and the entire block sur
rounding it, has been purchased for the

will be commenced Immediately. The
demolishing of the old building was be-
gun Tuesday morning. At noon as the

the idea was suggested while passing the
old structure, that a photograph OF the

lady. kind hearted and generous, and
possessing the respect of all who knew
her. She married Mr.. P. A. Kelly, OF
West Superior, May 10, 1891, and made
bright anticipations for the future. They
had fine home and starred out in their
married career with everything smiling
on them, and with the determination OF
| making their mark in the world, but
things are not always as we wish them to
be and we must bow in respectful sub
mission to the designs Of Him who gave
us our being and who calls us to Himself
when He Wills. About three months OF
happy and contented married life. and
then the deceased became ill., and that
illness terminated in her death. She,
with her husband, came to the home of
her parents in Woodland, and there she
| remained until the angel of death called
| her to her eternal rewart. During her
whole life Mrs Kelly was roted for the
| sweetness Of her disposition, and the
holy calm of her SOUL These beautiful
qualities were hers up to the moment
/ she passed from this life without q sigh
and without struggle. Fortified with
all the consultations Of Holy Church she
calmly and resignedly gave up her pure
life with the confidence of blessed flu
ture The funeral took place Monday
morning, from the residence of her par

were the Misses Mary Boyle, Maggie
Franey, Nellie Giblin, Nellie Downs
Mary McNeely, Teresa Brennan and
Messrs. John Meehan, John Powell. T.

The Judge in the Case.

Judge Seagrave Smith, AS he promised
at the conclusion of the Goodrich-Beli-
Corser-Byrnes real estate tangle, read his
opinion to the interested attorneys at the
court house Monday morning, and some
decidedly interesting statements fell
from the judicial, lips too. Tim Byrnes
was not present to hear them, however.
Judge Smith said that, after thorough
examination Qf all the evidence submitted
in the case, he had confirmed his opinion
which he had held at the conclusion of
the testimony, that Tim Byrnes had COM
mitted fraud upon Mrs. Mary E. Good
rich, his mother in law, and that he bad
rnisrepresented to her what she was sign
ing when she placed her signature to the
satisfactions in Chicago. He said that
Tins explanation of the circumstances
attending the signing of the satisfactions
upon all the lots in Evergreen addition
except the two which Mrs. Goodrich adj
mitted, was untrus, and that she had
been deceived in consequence. Judge
Smith said that the question to be further
considered was whether the evidence
justified the conclusion that the satisfac-
tt MS had been changed after they were
executed by Mrs. Goodrich sufficiently
to constitute the crime of forgery under
The law. He gave it as his opinion that
the admitted insertion after the execution
of the instruments of the description of
the property in the body Of the instru-
ments was an immaterial change and did
not constitute forgery. The question
now remained whether Tim changed and
inserted the pages Of the records after
the Instruments were executed. The
Judge said that the evidence of Mrs.
Goodrich did not so far preponderate
upon that question as to justify the con-
clusion that such changes had been made.
He intimated that he would find, in his
decision, Judgment for the defendants,
Corser and Bell against the plaintiff, and
Judgment for the plaintiff against Tim
Byrnee for about $4,000 of mortgage
notes, which Tim owns up to: Later he
said he would order no Judgment for the
present until the question raised by
Judge Shaw of whether or not there was
sufficient evidence to charge the defend
ants, Corser and Bell with notice of
Tins declared fraud, so as to offset their
rights under their mortgages and fore
closures. The point raised by Judge
Shaw will be argued this morning, and
Judge Smith will probably file his formal
decision next week. An appeal is prob
able in any case s., n,
