The mail brings the sad intelligence
that in the case Of tho people of Illinois
versus Isaac Dangerfeld, Of Chicago,
tho defendant has been held by Judge
Glennon in the sum of 100000 to the
grand jury of Cook county on the
charge Of embezzlement.
Mr.. Dangerfe,d stood high socially in
Chicago and was one of the first gents
west of the Alleghanies to wear box
coat. II did not touch him anywhere
except on the shoulders. and is still be-
heved to have been made in England.
He is charged with taking. keeping,
retaining and clinging 20 $4,000, which
was deposited with him to bind the bar
gain in the purchase Of the Pontiac, Ok
ford and North railroad, Michigan
line 100 miles in length, which Mr.. G.
T. Gregory began the purchase Of about
two years ago through Dangeriield.
The trade held fire, | believe, and so
the depositors one day eslSed Isaac to re-
turn the $4,000, but he had put it into
a team or something and so claimed that
the money was forfeited. He has had
the money now two years, and was hop
ing that some ono else would como along
and forfeita like sum before cold weather
came on.
Isaac at one time published tho
speeches of Emory A. Storrs, Of Chi
cago. in book form, but the widow did
not get anything in return except social
recognition by Mr.. Dangeriicld, whose
manners are easy and fluent.
Later on ne published book for me
IN an unguarded moment and has cor
responded with me ever since in a light,
a.ry and graceful style, which has been
great help to me. When l began to

heavy and labored but after the first

dollars for the option and promising to

Wonderful Railroad.

When the railroad between Moscow
and st. Petersburg was opened it in
spired great terror in the breasts Of the
superstitious peasantry, who thought
there must be some witchcraft in an in
vention which could make a train Of
heavy cars run along without horses at
the rate of twenty miles an hour. Some
Of them would not goin sight Of train.
Others took timid peeps at the smoke
breathing creature, which they believed
to be alive and ready TO devour what
ever came in its way. When the whis-
tie sounded they said, 1.-THE monster IS
hungry; he's screaming for somebody to
eatr'
By degrees, however, their terror
wore away, and following the example
of the village priests the peasants began
TO try the ''smoke wagons" though with
fear and trembling. The superstition
had gone, but the mystery still remained.
One day an old man who had never
been away from his own village deter
mined to take look at "Mother Mos
cow" which is regarded by all the Rus
sian peasantry as the most wonderful
city in the world.
The down express and the up express
met at Bologoe-half way between st.
Petersburg and Moscow-and the pas
sengers of both trains were allowed half
an hour for supper. Among the people
who alighted from the other train the
old peasant recognized friend whom
ne had not seen for long time.

CoLLIDED AT NANTUCKET.
Suits Brought by Both Parties in the Uni-
ted States Court.

In the United States Court yesterday
before Judge Webb, the cases of Samuel
Emerson against the Schooner Ida >.
Hull and the cross libel of Ulysses A.
Hull against Samuel Emerson in admir-
atty were on trial. They grew out OF a
collision on Nantucket Shoals between
the two masted schooner G. W. Brown,
Samuel Emerson, master, of Biddetord,
and the three masted schooner Ida l..
Hull of Barnstable, Mass, on the after
noon of May 10, 1890. The Brown was
loaded with coal bound for Biddeford,
and the Ida L. Hull was on voyage
from Windsor, Nova Scotia, to Staten
Island with cargo of plaster. IL Is
claimed on the part of the schooner
Brown that she was on the starboard
tack close hauled all her lower sails set,
heading on course about southeast by
east, while the Ida L. Hull was sailing
free on the port tack; the wind being
south, that the Brown having the right
of way did not alter her course, but sup
posed that the Ida L. Hull would keep
out of her way; that the Hull did not
keep out of the way as it was her duty to
do, but ran into the Brown, carrying away
both masts and crushing in her side, and
otherwise injuring her so that she sank
in an hour after the collision. 1t is
claimed that the vessel and freight and
and stores were of the value of $4,000.
In the cross libel it is claimed on the
part of the Ida L. Hull that she was
proceeding westward, close hauled on
the wind on the port tack and was steer
ing by the wind. The tide was running
eastward, strong head tide for the Hull
and she had to hug the wind as the cir
cumstances would admit in order to
fetch up the channel and make as little
1eeway as possible; that the Brown was
sighted about mile and half distant,
running eastward with free wind and
therefore was her duty to keep out of the
way, but she was so negligently steered
and navigated that she came into coils
ion with the Hull, the port bows of the
vessels striking together breaking the
foretopmast, gibboom and martingale,
tearing her outer jib and flying jib, cut
ting her starboaId jibboom guys, fore
topmast stays and preventer jibstay and
injuring her buffalo chock on the port
side.
The owners of the Hull claim 5000 for
injuries to the vessel and $604.80 demur-
rage, making $1,504S0 in all. Benjamin
Thompson appears for the G. W. Brown
and Edward S. Dodge of Boston for the
Ida L. Hull. The cases are not finished.

Eve and Ear Infirmary.

Mr.. John M. Fox, electrical engineer,
has been awarded the contract for wir-
ing the new infrmary for electric lights.
The wires are to be run entirely in the
''interior conduit tubing, which not
only protects them from mechanical in
jury but also from the deleterious effects
of gas, steam, plaster, etc.
This system also enables the wires to
be drawn in, or withdrawn, at any fu-
ture time for larger ones, even after the
building is finished, and without disturb
ing the plaster in the least.
In the infrmary the wires and tubes
are to be put in at the same time. Mr..
Fox is sole agent for Maine for this inte-
rior conduit.
