The Northumberland Case


In the BreckinridgeP ollard trial in
Washington yesterday, Sister Cecilia
of the Order of Sisters of Charity o.
Cincinnati, was put on the witness tand
She said that in 1894, she had been
sister in charge of the convent at Nor,
wood, O., ten miles from Cincinnati by
rail and FIVE miles by road.
'Do you recall that in 1885 there was
person there by the name Of
Burgoyne?" asked Mr.. Carlisle.
81 do not"
"Have you examined the records Of
the institution lately?"
81 have" :.
Objection to the question as to result
of the examination was made.
"Do you remember female patient
who was visited by female doctor
from CINCINNATI"
"There was one who was visited
twice by DR.. Mary Sweet"
The four volumes of Irving, which
had figured mysteriously in the case,
were placed before the sister, and she
said II was presented a set of books
like those, by lady who had been a
patient in our asylum not long before
/ left the asylum, in August, 1855, but l
cannot say whether these are the iden-
teal ones. Iplaced them in the book
case of the asylum and left them there: )"
"Are these the books?" MIR. Carlisle
asked.
II cannot say positively that these are
the same books, but they look like
them"
"What is your best opinion on the
question:"
"That they are the same.'
"Do YOU remember that it was brought
to your attention that one of your pa
tients was corresponding with some one
drought the Cincinnati Inquirer"
"Sbe told me so. thought | per-
suaded her to desist-I tried to-"
"Do you know Miss Madeline Pol

II have met her in Washington
Would you know her if you should
see her?"

ibid she describe by conversation
and by letter the institution and incl
dents connected with it in 1855, which
would lead you to identify it?"
lone moment, interposed Attorney
Butterworth, Directing to recent des-
criptions of the convent as immaterial.
Judge Jere Wilson, who, but for his
moustache and tuft at his chin, might
be mistaken for ex-senator Evarts, re-
piled to the objection, that after nine
years had lapsed, it was necessary to
depend sometimes upon corroborating
circumstances for Identification.
Col. Shelby counter-argued that the
results of conversations ana letters after
the institution of the suit, and when,
without making charges in this instance,
it would be easy to fabricate testimony,
were manifestly improper.
The hour for adjournment had ar
rived, and as Mr.. Butterworth asked
time to consult authorities, the court
leaving the testimony at the
crucial question.

THEWALToN BILL AND LOCAL OPTION.
Some of the Richmond lawyers con-
tend that the Walton bill repeats the
local option law for the reason that the
latter provides for two tickets at an
election while the Walton bill provides
that but one ticket shall be used and re-
peals all laws in conflict herewith.
Delegate Diggs, member of the House
committee on courts of justice, when
asked what he thought of the point
raised. replied that in his judgment the
Walton bill would in no way interfere
with local option. The new law APP
plies to general elections for officers
and local option is quite another thing.
Some of the republican leaders init
mate an intention of testing the consti-
tutionality of the Walton Australian
ballot law passed in the closing days OF
the last Legislature. They are dispos-
ed to think that the failure of the act
to make it mandatory upon the special
constable to read and prepare the bal
lot of the iliterate may be a serious de-
feet. 1t is appreciated that the courts
would probably hold the word may
in this connection to mean "shall."
Some of the republican leaders are anX-
ious for Malone to write an address to
his party and review the Walton bill.

THE DUTY on the products OF North
ern textile mills and factories, laid by
the unamended Wilson bill, that is, ac-
cording to statement made by the au-
thor of that bill, over his own name,
amounts 10 forty-two per cent. And
vet some of the advocates of that bill
accuse those who desire to amend
il, by making it more of rev
enue and less Of a protective measure,
and therefore more in accordance with
the declaration of the national demo
cratic platform, Of being McKinleyites.
Free trade is the true principle of de-
mocracy. but As that cannot, under ex-
isting circumstances, be obtained, tie
next best thing is a revenue tariff. The
Wilson bill. unamended, reduces rev.
cnue. by putting almost prohibitory du-
ties on The products of New England,
and none at all on Southern coal, iron,
sugar and lumber As the pillagng
system must be continued, surely the
rich and prosperous North should not
refuse to let the poor and debilitated
South have small share of the plumber.

SENATE.

The Senate resumed consideration of
the Bland eisgniorage bill. Mr.. Dolph
stated that as objection lad been with
drawn to the printing of the extracts
which he had REFER ed to in his speech
yesterday he would consider that
speech as ended. Then Mr. Teller adj
dressed the Senate in support of the
bill. He denied the assumption of Mr..
Sherman and of other Senators who
argued against the bill that the act Of
1890 left the coinage of silver to the
discretion of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and he declared that the act was
mandatory and that under it the secre-
tary should coin as many silver dollars
as he had issued treasury notes.
At o'clock Mr.. Harris called atten-
ton to the agreement to take the vote
on Mr.. Allisons motion to reconsider

RUNAWAY.

John Larson. who lives near the LIE
Sueur river, drove to the city Friday
forenoon and in the course of his bust
ness hitched his team in front of M.
Hanna's store about noon. While he
was in the store, boy came along
with handsled and the horses took
fright and broke away and started
down the street at a break-neck speed.
The heavy sleigh struck several sleighs
along the street. ]. M. Karmany's
was picked up and forced upon the
sidewalk. This started his horse and
a double runaway was the result.
At the corner of Jackson street a
bob sled was struck by Mr.. Larson's
sleigh and the latter went to pieces,
leaving the box in the center of the
street, and one of the hobs near by.
The horses continued northward and
at the First National bank corner
they passed on each side of a telegraph
pole, the harness holding the neckyoke
and whiffietree swapping like thread.
The outside horse continued down the
street while the inside one slid along
the walk until it collided with an
other telegraph pole near by, narrow
ly missing lady who was walking on
the SIDEWALK. Both horses were
caught before further damage was
done.

TERRI HOLDS OVER.

There will be no election Of a clerk
IF court next November Chapter 80,
General Laws of Minnesota of / S91
settles the question. This chapter
enacts that where the terms of these
officers expire on Jan. 1st, 1896, an
cleo ion of d successor shall be held
in November, 1886. This is for the
purpose of having all the clerks of
court in the state commence their
term on the same day. The law fur
ther provides that vacancies shall be
filed by appointment by the district
Judge.
Mr.. Thorne's term does not expire
until Jan. lst, 1896, and from that
date and for one year there will be an
interim that must be filled by ap-
pointment. This will relieve this
gentleman Of the strain and worry
and expense of political canvass
next fall. There would PROBABLY
have been no opposition to renom-
nation or reelection in any case, as
he has made faithful and compe-
tent official.

In arecent number of the Queen, Mrs.
Lynn Linton writes, evidently from
experience, of the dangers Of overwork
and too great nerve and mental press
ure among delicate women.
"Only the exceptionally strong,"
says Mrs. LyntOn, can stand the strain
of the two-fold of life work and So
ciety."
Social life, instead of bringing re-
freshment, brings rebuilding of
anxiety and so much more to think Of
and so much more to arrange and man
age. There are thousand cares that
the mother, the hostess and the care
full housekeeper cannot share with
others.
With more pretentious living, larger
families, and with every fresh social
duty come the increase of nervous
strain and step nearer the breaking
down point. The great share Of this
pressure comes upon the anxious mis-
tress Of the household. She becomes
irritable and hySterical. The most
Insignificant little trouble looms large
and weighs heavy-all because she is
breaking down, and the nervous strain
is too much for her. She cannot eat,
nor sleep, nor rest, nor work, her ner-
vous organization has gone all to
pieces. OF the thousands of such
cases that Paine's celery compound
has cured, of the thousands Of people
in all classes of society who owe their
present health and strength to this
wonderful compound, first prescribed

The Coast of Bohemia.

Bohemia, to so many, is an undis-
covered realm, and they ask: Where is
B hemia? Where lies the coast of
Bohemia? Wnere is the path to this
tabled land of genius and enjoyment?
Mr.. Howells tells US but little in his
story. One is at a loss to know, at the
end, whether he has been reading
about the coast of Bohemia or the
fringe Of society. At all events, the
81. Paul & Duluth railroad does not
run to the coast Of Bohemia, unless
one clothes the shores of Superior in
the garb of fancy. The Duluth Short
Line, however, is the peoples popular
route daily, and at all seasons Of the
year, between ST. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth, West Superior, Saltwater and
Taylor's Falls. 1t has always been
the favOrjte route, and maintains it's
eloquent record for fine equipment,
fast trains, easy and convenient time
cards, firm and smooth road-bed, and
handsome terminals, where close con.
nectiOns are made with trains run
ming in all directions. Always take
the Duluth Short Line. Information,

Chief Yates states that City At
torney Young has given him a writ
ten opinion upon the auctioneer's
ordinance in which he holds that the
enforcement Of the provision against
the ringing Of bells cannot be had
as the ordinance will, not stand
the test of the courts. In any event
the ordinance only refers to the ring
ing OF bells by licensed auctioneers,
and there are no licensed auction GERS
in the city. Mr.. Yates thinks that
possibly the ordinance relating to
breaches Of the peace may cover the
case, although it would have to be
proved in court that the ringing Of
the bells is such breach of the peace
or nuisance. Anyone desiring to can
make complaint under this ordinance.
The ordinance committee of the
council has under consideration new
ordinance covering all of these points,
and it's prompt passage is the only
sure relief known. The ordinance
should be properly amended and pass
ed as soon as possible.

SETTLED FOR 5000.

Some time ago the MILFORD &

E. Brown, E. l.. Halves, w. Fl. Ketz-
bach and Joseph Starky, of Mapleton,
to recover about So. 600, claimed to be
the balance due on machinery which
E. l.. Halves put in the mill while he
owned it. Mr. Brown purchased the
mill of Mr.. Halves and assumed the
Indebtedness, reserving the right If
MIR. Halves to recoup for damages on
account Of the failure Of the machine
ry. On the strength of this reserva-
tiOn, claim for $l,700 was put in
against the company. A compromise
was reached today, whereby the COM
pany allows 800, and Mr.. Brown
agrees to pay 81, 800 in full settlement
for the machinery. The case will be
dropped.

AN IMPORTANT MOVE.

At meeting Of the directors of the
MankatO Manufacturing Co, held
Tuesday, the plant Of the Mankato
Iron Works was consolidated with that
Of the Manufacturing Co. The en-
tire plant will henceforth be under
the management Of W. H. Wilcox,
who was elected superintendent. The
business of the consolidated concerns
will be carried on under uhe name Of
the Mankato Manufacturing Co.
This move is undoubtedly wise
one and will result In the prosperity
of a single industrial plant, where the
competition Of two made it mutually
Improbable. Mr.. Wilcox is an ex-
perienced workman and under his
able management the business of the
company may be expected to materi-
ally increase.
