spec acles were recently put on the c~ffertory

handed them back, surposing them to have
besn put there in absence of mind, but the
donor again deposited them on the plate, and
not wishing to make p scene, the official
finished mis- collection and the s~pctacles
were duly presented with the ether aims.
However. after the close Of the service he
took them down to the donor, who WIS .
stranger to the place, and said h feared
they were given by mistake. Judge of his

territorial, and no mistake; thai the reader
Of the prayers had made so many blunders
in reading that the donor presumed he could
not see, and so presented him with a pair
Of spectacles.

in the collecting plate, merely gave a stately

in succession the elder in charge Of the
plate at last lost patience and blurted out:

ThorD & Bond Will Not Surrender the
Post Office Contract.
New York statS Lesi~lators Appear
at the Treasury and Make Arxu-
ments in Their Behalf.

Thorp & Bond. contractors for the iron
work on the Washington post office, are not
going to surrender their contract If they
can possibly avoid it. They have enlisted
the services of Representative Sulzer of
New York and State Senator Atkins of
that state in their behalf. These gentle
men had an interview yesterday with AS
sistant Secretary Hamlin, who has been
given special charge of the case, and Sc
cured an extension of time until Friday
next before final action is taken.
1t is asserted on their behalf that they
are not wholly to blame for the delay in
the delivery of the material, and they say
if they are given until next week the iron
beams upon which the immediate prose
cution of the work depends, will be on
hand and placed in position.
If Assistant Secretary HamUn refuses to
grant their petition and follows the advice
of the supervising architect the contract
will be abrogated next Saturday and the
work continued by the government at the
expense of the contractors.

DEFENSE ALL IN.
Testimony Regarding Riordan Given
at Syr0cuSe.

SYRACUSE. N. Y, July 3.-The defense
in the trial of Bob Fitzsimmons was closed
with the testimony of DR.. G.. A. Lyon of
New York. From the description given of
Riordan's heart he would judge that he
was affected with hypertrophy. which gives
the heart a spasmod:c action. He thought
that the kidneys were affected with
Brisht's disease, also from the description
of Riordan's condition he would judge he
had an enlargement of the liver and an af-
lection of the left lung.
rs 1T not true" was asked the witness
by Attorney House, THAT when there is a
diseased condition of the. internal organs
of the abdomen the arteries of the brain
are degeDerated'"
Yes. sir: and these conditions increase
che proba bilities Of a hemorrhage of the
brain from the skull"
He said that he had found in performing
autopsies that the brain was more or less
laccrated IN removal. A flow of thirty
drops of blood into the fourth ventricle
would cause immediate DEATH
He said further that when he examined
Riordan a year ago he found symptoms of
disease. as described by him. and taking
this into consideration, with the swelling
CT Riordan's feet. he would Judge that he
had symptoms of dropsy At that time he
warned Riordan not to drink alcoholic
beverages or take violent exercise as it
would prove fatal.
The minutes of the autopsy were placed
in evidence by the defense. after which
they rested.

Trust Clause of tho First Fair Will.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. July 3-The at
torneys and trustees and heirs under the
Fair will are said to be DESTROYS of testing
the validity of the trust clause of the doc
ument first presented for probate. 1t is
argued by the attorneys and heirs under
the Photographic will that the trust to Sc
cure the first will is illegal and much time
and money would be saved by obtaining IL
legal decision on this point If, for in
stance, the trust should be declared Void
then there would he no objection to the
document. If the heirs do rot object to its
probate and would at once enter upon their
patrimony. Thus all litigation would be at
an end. If. on the other hand. the trust
clauses should be sustained, the action
could be had directly on the genuineness
OF the will, and the contest would be clear

claimed that an agreement has been prac-
tlcally reached that the validity of the
trust clauses should be tested at once

GAS TRUST STOCK SOLD.
The Standard Oil Company Disposes
of Its Holdings.

CHICAGO, July "a special to the
Times-Herald from New York says: The
Standard Oil Company has sold every dol
lar OF its holdings in the Chicago Gas
Trust. This information is based upon Of
fetal authority. 1t accounts for the recent
sensational decline in Chicago Gas and fur
nishes rich food for speculative gossip.
This cha nge was consummated about ten
days ago, but it was not until yesterday
that the details OF the deal and the reasons
therefor became known, and then only to a
few. 1t is admitted that the Standard Oil
Company is no longer interested in Chica-
60 Gas, and tn It the transfer of majority
of it's holdings was made to Norman Il.
Reame of the Chicago Gaslight and Coke
Company. who is ST opposed to represent a
syndicate of Chicago capitalists.
Henry Is. Payne representing the Stand
ard Oil Company, held s14,OOOO00 of the
So. 100000 worth of Chicago Gas shares.
His transfer of his holdings to Norman Z.
Reame was made through the Chase Ma
tional Bank of this city.
John d. Rockefeller, Senator Brice and
other Standard OF magnates held a con-
ference upon r. ceipt of the news that Gov.
Altgeld had vetoed some of the measures
which, had they become laws, would have
materially lenefited the trust. Mr.. Rookie
Teller, it is said expressed the conviction
that it was no longer good policy for the
Standard Oil Company to invest in outside
enterprises on account of the growing hos
tility of the pI bile to such enormous ag-
gregations Of capital, and the suspicion
with which. in this case, they were regard
ed by the people of Illinois. He therefore
decided that the Standard Oil Company
had better get out OF Chicago while it could
do so without LOSE.
CHICAGO. July 3.-The publication of the
fact that the Standard Oil Company has
disposed of its interests in Chicago Gas
created much comment in financial circles
here today. 1t developed that the sale was
made about three months ago and that
the stock was largely held by Colonel
Payne of the Standard Oil. 1t is not gen.
orally believed among stock exchange peo-
pie that Norman B. Reame Is at the head
of the purchasing syndicate. but 1t is
thought that the greater part of the stock
was purchased by Chcagoans. 1t was
common talk on change that Chicago
Gas would pay its quarterly l per cent
dividend this month.
