THE MARINE BANK MIDDLE.
Settlement at a Standstill Pending SUI
preme Court Action.

Milwaukee, Sept. 1S.-TEtrc was Il
brisk little argument before Judge Aus
tin over the suit of Receiver Becker,
of the Marine bank, against JOIN, john
ston for $15O,0OO alleged 70 be due on
promissory notes to the bank.
The complaint was served Aug. s
and the time to answer would have cX-
pired August % had not Court Commits
soner Harper issued an order upon the
Johnston's attorney, extending the
time to answer to September u. On
that day another extension of time
was secured in the same manner, this
time to October .
Attorney Flanders has served notice
upon Receiver Becker that ne wishes
to examine him under section 4O96 Of
the statutes about the consideration of
the notes upon which the suit is
brought. Receiver Becker says that he
! is ready to be examined at any time,
but that he believes the defendant is
seeking delay, as the last extension OF
! time prevents the case from being no.
ticed for trial at the October term OF
the superior court. Upon the applica-
ton of 3. X. Miller. Jr., the receivers
attorney, Judge Austin fixed the time
until which the defendant could an

! to be put upon the October calendar
and instructed the defendant TO ac-
cept short notice of trial Mr.. Wilde,

ruling of the court, and asked that
the amount of an undertaking on an
appeal to the supreme court be fixed
Judge Austin remarked that the order
was not appealable. Mr.. Wilde seemed
rather worked up about the matter
and in sharp tone requested the clerk
| to make minute of his exception
to the ruling.
Judge Austin afterwards modified his
order so that an appeal could be taken.

The silver senators who have fought

that they can hold out but little

evening between Frank Il. Ives, Of
Chicago, and John Roberts, Of London,
England.
The game attracted a very large
gathering. The playing was fine. Ives
made his 900 points to Roberts SO.
Ives last run Of 3O4 was made in

at the discretion Of the referee. Across
each corner Of the table is n balk-llne
seven inches in length inside Of which
only two strokes can be made without
driving one Of the balls out Of balk.
The stakes are 200 a side.

something like American pool, with all
but three or four Of the balls left out

MRS. CLEVELAND.
She Continues to Improve Daily and
Baby Esther Grows Rapidly

Washington. Sept. 1S.-MrS. Cieve-
land continues to improve daily, DIR.
Johnston. who has had charge of the
patient since the departure of Dr. Bry-
ant, rarely has occasion to call at the
white house more than once a day.
His visits are made in the mornings,
and as a rule do not last more than
fifteen or twenty minutes.
Mrs. Cleveland's chamber is directly
over the red room, in the southwestern
portion of the mansion. For some
time workmen have been engaged in
making improvements in the walls and
ceilings Of the red room. Scaffolding
was erected in the room and the work
was rapidly pushed to completion
When Baby Esther was born it was
feared the noise made by the workmen
would penetrate Mrs Cleveland's apart
ment and disturbed the patient.
When Mrs. Cleveland heard that it was
proposed to discontinue the work until
she had recovered she insisted that
what noise came from below did not in
the least disturb her, and she emphat-
ically desired that the men so right
along with the work without Interrupt
ton. This incident shows that Mrs.
Cleveland's nerves are in no way affect.
ed and that her condition has at NO
time been such as to warrant any I'M
due alarm.
Baby Esther grows rapidly Her
lung power increases also each day
judging by the faint sounds which
occasionally reach the corridor when
some one opens the door leading into
the private part of the white house
The trained nurse still attends to
ESther's wants and will continue to do
SO for several weeks, when the regular
nurse employed by the Clevelands will

A SHORT CROP.
Wheat Yield Falls Below All ENpecta-
lions.

st. Paul. Sept. 1S.-The wheat re-
ceiptS of the past week furnish ad-
itional evidence of the correctness of
the estimates made week or ten days
ago by the grain men of. Minneapolis
of the yield and grade of the present
crop i'll the three states. The teSti-
mony of the next few weeks or months
is hardly expected To change the YER
dict save in the returns of particular
localities. In the aggregate the eleva-
tor men have already decided that
their first estimates of s or 10 bushels
t. the acre will have to stand. If any
thing this estimate must be lowered Il
tr.tle rather than raised.
The reports received the past six or
seven days. covering every locality in
the three states are uniformly diScour-
aging. The returns furnished by the
machines are everywhere disappoint-
ing. save in 4 very few instances.
Where has been one field or farm un-
derestimated there have been 4 dozen
oyereStimated. The new crop seems
bound to fall long ways below the
eXpectat tons Of everybody.

BRICE HARD HIT.
A Millionaire Senator Who Is Forced to
Give up Social Leadership.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Capital society
has been shocked by the discovery that
the family of Senator Brice, of Ohio,
will not during the coming winter oc-
cupy their magnificent home on La
fayette Suare, but will content them
selves with a much more modest es-
tablishment in another part Of the
city. Two years ago Senator Brice
leased the historic mansion once oc-
cupied by the late w. W. Corcoran, and
which years ago was for short time
the home of Daniel Webster. Mr..
Brice agreed to pay $4,000 year
rental and pay the taxes and make the
repairs. He set to work an army of
artists and workmen to work on the
building. and through an expenditure
of $4,000 converted the old mansion
into modern palace Then the BriceS
took possession and set out upon u
career of social leadership and con-
quest. The housewarming alone cost
upward of $1,000. All winter long the
! Brices continued this pace. 1t was the
ambition Of Senator Brice and his
wife to take the position in Washington
society which ex-Secretary Whitney
and his wife occupied during the first
Cleveland administration. They sue
ceeded so admirably that all Washing
ton has been looking forward to re
newal of their conquests the coming
winter. Now, however, comes the dis
NAL announcement that the senator
has been SO hard hit by the fall of
stocks and depreciation of other values
during the summer that he will not
open the COrcoran house this session.
But he must still pay the rent and
taxes, but by occupying smaller house
and eschewing lavish ENTERTAINERS he
| will at least be able to save $4,000 or
$4,000 during the winter.

THE FAIR MADELINE
She Makes u Statement Concerning
Her Relations With Breckinridge

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Repeated eff
forts have failed to elicit Il word from
Mandeline Valeria Pollard concerning
Breckenridge, Kentucky, but she has
finally been induced to break the long
silence. Her story is graphic and eN-
plicit and is over her own signature
She commences by saying tia: she has
been silent under the advice Of cOmeCi,
but that the necessity Tor silence *
now removed. In her eXor,lium she
says:
l feel an irresistible impulse to tell
deception in which | had been
forced to live for nine years by
my infatuated devotion for Colonel
Breckenridge kept alive until Il few
months ago by his own devotion to and
his consideration of me. For him
alone, and to shield him from his guilty
relations with me. | have reSortcd to
falsehood and deception. With this man
alone have | ever been guilty of Il
Single impure thought or act. The
miserable reward of my fidelity is Il
sermon in itself to show how low the
highest devotion thee human soul is
capable Of may fail.
She then tells of her life in Frank
fort Ky, from childhood on; of her
early engagement to James G. Rhodes;
of her education under his care. 1t
, was at the home of the widow Of Gov
ernol. rkburn that Mr.. Breckin-
ridge made first public recognition of
her as his future wife. From that
time on, she says, she had given up
her whole life to him. The statement
concludes as follows:
| always sat i'll the gallery to hear his
speeches on the floor, and signed to
him if his voice was too weak or if
attention Waned. He never made Il
speech that had not II message direct
, to me in it, and, though it belonged i'll
, the speech and may have been very
prosaic, it meant much to him and me.
Mr.. Breckinridge always introduced
people to me and treated me with the
utmost Difference and respect and in no
, way in the nine years of our life to-
gether did he fail to do this until he
began the denials Of our engagement.
, [ knew no old gentleman in Cincin-
natl and the only gentlemen who ever
called upon me were Mr. Rhodes and
Mr.. Breckenridge. Mr.. Breckenridge
knew Of my contracts with Mr.. Rhodes,
for it was Of this matter | wrote to
him for advice, and he came in answer
to my letter He knew Mr.. Rhodes
personally; they lived all their lives in
! Fayette county and were Morgan men
$ That my word was welcome to Mr.
Rhodes explains itself when it is
known that the first year Of my ac
, quaintance with him and Indebtedness
to him Mr.. Breckenridge and / began
our life together. have purposely said
nothing of the facts directly bearing on
, the case because / have concluded to
hand you with this a memorandum OF
the facts as given to my counsel in my

ing before the suit was brought

QUEER ACCIDENT.

Thorp, Wis, Sept, 1S.-A mysterious
death took place here on Saturday at
ternoon when Herman Thielke, who
was on the roof of a shed shingling,
suddenly died. Two assistants with
him at the time are unable to say how
he came to his death. Upon undress-
ing him a hole resembling a bullet
hole was found in the groin, which no
doubt was the cause. A post mortem
examination was held and no bullet
was found. The case is shrouded in
mystery. The general superstition is
that a bullet from a hunters rifle
struck him, though no report was
heard
