CHICAGO. Dec 1.-THE Times Herald
New York correspondent says:
A new light has come to John D. Rock
efeller regarding the gift made by Miss
Culver to the University of Chicago. At
first Mr.. Rockefeller would not discuss
the matter further than to say that there
was no truth in the story, but
yesterday he said: 81 have received
a telegram from President Harper
announcing the fact of Miss Culver's
gift At first l believed there was mis-
take. The gift is genuine and will
gladly make good my promise made sew
eral weeks ago, aud will duplicate Miss
Culver's million"
Mr.. Rockefeller sent the following dis
patch to President Harper in Chicago:
'PREsT. w. r. HARPER:

nouncing the gift of 100000 by Miss
Culver to the university. rejoice with
you on account of this munifcent offer.

lie Expects to Be Released Oh Saturday,
and Says He's Reformed.
W. E. Dom will probably not stay in
jail longer than Saturday. lie has re-
marked several times to people about the
Jail that his time would be out on the
21st.
Dom thinks that his Jail confinement
has reformed him. "ThIs has taught me
a lesson" said he one day. II never
knew what it was to be confined in jail
before. shall never give occasion to be
confined again.
81 was guilty of the crime of which
was charged, and that's the reason I
pleaded the way l did. They can all
talk about fighting the case and all that,
but when mans guilty it's best for him
to say so, you can bet on that"
Dom seems to look forward to Saturday
as the time of his release but has not
said what he will do when he is again a
free man.

HAS THE CITY IT'S SHARE.
City Clerk McFadden Says the Commits

City Clerk McFAdden Says the Commits
siOners Ought to Settle Up.
City Clerk McFadden is out of patience
with the county commissioners. A law
was passed by the last Legislature pro-
vidiug that the commissioners shall
make settlement with the city clerk
annually, showing the amount of funds
in the treasury and drawn out during
the year, which belong to the city. The
law provides that this statement shall be
made just after the October settlement
and it has not yet been made.
City Clerk McFadden and other city
officers are of the opinion that the city
has not received its share of the tax sale
receipts and this statement would show
whether or not this is fact. Unless the
statement is made soon a resolution will
be passed by the council requesting the
commissioners to make the settlement at
once

letters read was the following from ex-
Senator John ]. Ingalls,:

me away from home some weeks. This
absence is compulsory, on account
of the condition got the treas
ury, which requires more revenue or
an issue of bonds, a precedent too
Democratic for my adoption. / shall
be glad to help the cause of bimetallism,
but as you do not say what has been
spent, who has contributed. or what the
expense of your operations have been or
are likely to be, am at loss to know
what to do. l might fall into unseemly
parsimonv on the one hand or unpardon-
able extravaganza on the other, SO please
tell me about it.
"Of course you understand that while
l am a bimetallist, I am not an advocate
of absolutely free and unlimited coinage
of silver, without consideration of exist
ing conditions. am practical, and ex-
perience has taught me that if a man
can't get all he wants he had better
take what he can get All
great issues end at last in com
promise. Each side yields something
and this have no doubt will be the re-
suit in the battle of standards

Public Street.

DECATUR, Ala, Dec. 17.-Squlre
Jones, colored, who was arrested and
lodged in Cortland calaboose, charged
with burning a barn, was taken from

placed the dead body on the public
street and forbade any of their own race
burying it on pain of death. The me-
gro's body remained exposed all Sun

VIII Remember Him K'nd1y.


The Supreme Court of Appeals Of Vir-
lnia, after hearing argument, has en-
arged its writ 50 as to keep the prison
rs accused of the murder of Mrs. Pollard
IN Lunenburg. in the jail at Richmond
Until their application for new trial is
lecided. The court also, while giving
Governor O'Ferrall credit for the honesty
( his Intentions. disapproved OF his course
interfering with the order Of the
County Court of Lunenburg for the re-
turn of the prisoners, and also disap-
proved of the writ of habeas corpus
granted by Judge Wexford, by which they
we're kept in Richmond. AS regards the
Governors case. the Supreme Court was
undoubtedly right-the legitimate powers
# the courts cannot be too rigidly guard
ed, just and upright court being the
last and only refuge OF the people. But
II IL proper 10 say that the Governor
did not intend to interfere with the
court, and that he believed-a belief he
should not have entertained. in our opin-
ion-that his temporary obstruction was
justified by the opinion to that effect
OF the Attorney General, and by state
ment made by the special prosecuting at
torney OF the Lunenburg Court. No ut
terances by an officer of a court. II should
always be remembered, can be construed
as giving liberty to obstruct the order
OF the Judge Of that court. who Is the
court itself and in whom reside its
powers. All our sympathles in this mat
ter have been with Governor OFerran
in his manly and noble effort to protect
helpless prisoners from a mob. All his
intentions were Of the highest and purest
character, and were creditab.e to him as a
man and as the Chief Magistrate of the
State. He erred while trying TO enforce
the right. and not while trying to permit
a wrong and the people will remember
him kindly even for his error.
