midnight the physicians in charge stated
to reporter that the case was hopeless

about 10 o'clock. when there was a morbid
embarrassment OF the respiration, and
since midnight, it has been noticed that his
pulse is tagging. 1.-THE case is now hope
less" added the physician. 'Of course, we
cannot give any more definite information
than this. Mr.. ChiIds may live only a few
minutes, and he may linger for twenty-four
hours, but he is rapidly growing weaker"
Mr. Childs's last illness began with a
fainting spell. which seized him while he

5 o'clock on the afternoon OF Thursday.

his family physician, was hastily sum-
moned and restorativeS were applied. with
the result that I'm an hour the patient was
able to walk, with the assistance Of two
strong men, to his carriage, which
stood at the door. He was conveyed TO
his city home and Mrs. Childs. who was
at the countr,' place in Wooton. was sum-
moned. DR.. Ia Costa called IN Drs. Lydia
and Morris, ard these three issued a state
ment that Mr.. Childss illness was nothing
more than attack OF vertigo, arising from
indigestion, from which he would soon re-
cover. On the following Sunday the ply
sicians admitted that paralysis CT the low

cause of the attack that ultimately

WITNESSES HAVE RIGHTS.
Judge Gary, of Chicago, Gives Bulldoz-
ing Lawyers a Severe Rap.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2-Judge Gary, who
presided in the Haymarket Anarchist
trial, handed down decision to-day from
the Appellate Court which marks a de-
parture In Illinois Jurisprudence. The de-
cision is in the case OF the West Chicago
Street-railway Company VS.. A. d. Gresham
Judge Gary, in the opinion, takes up the
question OF the treatment accorded wit
nesses by the PLAINTIFF attorney, one of
whom was ex-Judge Wing, leading counsel
for the defendant In the Coughlin case. A
verdict of $4,000 for the plaintiff had been
given and Judge Gary reverses the decision,
giving as one of his reasons the manner in
which Groshan's counsel attacked the wit
neSseS.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-It was upon the
motion sof Mr.. Johnson, of Indiana, that
the House committee on banking and cur
rency to-day made it impossible to recon-
slider the vote by which 1t resolved to not
report the bill repeating the 10 per cent
tax on State bank circulation. After the
committee voted against reporting the bill
Mr.. Johnson moved to reconsider that vote
and then to lay the motion for reconsider
alton on the table This was carried, and
now the committee cannot again take UP
the proposition in any form The Hoosier
Republican has on a number of occasions,
when the committee had the State bank
problem before II, delivered heavy
body blows and almost knocked
it out. The scheme to revive
State bank circulation can now
only come before the House in the form
of an amendment to some other BILL 1t
cannot regularly from the banking
and currency committee
The regular press report says the effort
to repeal the tax on State bank circula-
tions was beaten in the committee on bank
ing to-day by q vote of yeas to nays
The vote was taken on the bill Of Repre-
sentative Cox, which relieves State banks
from any tax on their circulation issued by
vote in detail as follows:
For the bill-Cox of Tennessee. Cobb Of
Alabama, Hall of Missouri Ellis of Ken
lucky, Johnson of Ohio, Cobb OF Missouri
Black of Georgia and Culberson of Texas,
Against the bill-Springer of Illinois.
Sperry of Connecticut, Warner OF New
York Democrats; Johnson, of Indiana,
Brosius of Pennsylvania, Walker of Massa-
chusetts, Russell of Connecticut. Hender-
son of Illinois and Haugen of Wisconsin,
Republicans.
The favorable votes of Johnson, of Ohio
and Cobb, Of Missouri, were given with
the reservation that they would vote
against the bill on the floor Of the House.
A second vote was taken on motion to
reconsider the motion to lay on the table.
This time the lines were differently drawn,
although the result was the same-9 to s.
as follows:
Yeas-Sperry Culberson, Walker, Brosius,
Henderson, Russell, Haugen, Johnson OF
Indiana and Springer.
Nays-Cox, Cobb of Missouri. Cobb OF
Alabama, Ellis, Warner, Johnson OF Ohio,
Black and Hall.
Mr.. Warner says that his new bill will
be designed to secure repeal speedily and
with it an elastic currency. Several other
bills to secure repeal of State bank tax,
with various limitations, are before the
committee, but may not be taken up;
concerning the vote: 'I do not regard it as
finally dsposing of the State bank question.
1t will get before the House in one form or
another"

IVES MADE A BIG Run
Almost Discounts SlossOn i'm the
Second Cincinnati Game.
Piled Up 1853 Buttons i'm the Eighteenth
Inning, Next to the High Run with
the Anchor Barred.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 2-The feature of the
second night Of the billiard tournament
was the long run made by Ives in the
eighteenth inning, when he scored 163
points. Ives also holds the record of 203,
the best under these conditions Ives
showed the greater skill, but Slosson scored
more fancy shots and was in high favor
with the crowd. His long caroms and bril-
liant follow shots won applause. Ives
nursed the balls carefully and his playing
was strong and steady from start to finish.
There was only one weak effort in his play
ing and that was in the middle of the game.
The theater was cold and to this both at
tribute their missing of easy shots. Ives
took the lead from the very outset, and,
though his playing was uniformly good, he
reserved his best work for the last.
Ives the bank and chose the
black ball. The game was loose up to the
seventh inning. Ives had scored 13S to Slos-
sons 80. Then Ives began his play and
maintained an even gait throughout. Ives
worked steadily up to &c. and then missed
a difficult draw. Slosson Eegained confidence
in the next inning. and made a run of 50.
following it up with shorter runs of 10 and
e. bringing him within 10 points of his op-
ponent, which was as close as he over got
$50 TO 265 in favor of Ives. In the thirteenth
inning SloSson did his best work. The balls
were left in perfect position by Ives, who
scored his first miss OF the game. Slosson
toyed with the balls along the upper rail
for 40 points, working them gradually down
the table. In the middle OF the table the
balls became separated, necessitating sew
eral difficult shots for positioIr all Of which
SlossOn made with delightful ease. The
balls We're in position for at least a dozen
niscue. Up to the seventeenth inning Ives
kept steadily drawing ahead while Slosson
was treated to some exceedingly difficult
shots and not little bad luck in the way
of inopportune kisses.
In the eighteenth Ives began his wonder
full with the balls several feet apart.
He quickly brought them around to the
upper end, where he tossed them back and
forth most regularly. He secured the
anchor on the upper rail and played il for
nine points Then followed a splendid ex-
hibition of fine rail play. The masse was
repeatedly called on TO help out in a tight
place At siXty-eight Ives again got the
anchor for the last time. AS he passed one
hundred the crowd cheered and the excite
ment grew intense as he kept steadily
counting. He failed on his 163d on diff
cult four-cushion carom. He ran only seven
in the next two innings, while Slosson
added forty-three to his score, but i'm the
thirty-first inning Ives ran out the game.

Spencer's Nomination Not Yet Made
Voorhees, and HOke Smith.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb Representative
McNagny is greatly disappointed and some
what sore over the delay in SLING the
Indiana pension agency with a Democrat.
He has looked every day this week for the
nomination OF Martin Van Buren Spencer,
of Fort Wayne. to reach the Senate. but
it has not come. The tariff bill having
passed the House yesterday, and
there being no sense in holding II back
as a club to keep any Democrats in line,
Mr. McNagny was certain the nomination
would be made to-day and he was over at
the Senate at the time when nominations
usually arrive. but it came not The sup
position is that this nomination has been
hung up along with scores OF others at
the White House, awaiting action on nom-
nations pending before the Senate. Posi-
bly, the President has conceived the idea
that Senator Turpie is interested in the
nomination of Spencer and he is holding
back on that account; because Mr.. Turpie
is In dSfaVor at the White House
If that be true the error can be soon recti-
fed. Mr.. Turpie has no interest in Spencer,
according TO Hoosier Democrats in the
House. Senator Voorhees, has taken the
initiative in this out OF pure self-protection.
He was given 10 understand that II the
