ONLY FELL TWO STORIES,
The Man With the Eight-StOry
Record RetractS Just a
Little.
But He Gets a Verdict for Two
Story Fall Just the
Same.

Michael O'Donnell, a bod-carrier, was be-
fore Justice of the Peace Groezinger yes
terday with his complaint against Abraham
Newmark, a contractor, from whom he
sought to recover damages suffered by him
because of the careless manner in which
the ladder which he was required to climb
in fulfilling his duties at the building of
house on Hayes street was kept.
On the stand the plaintiff told his story
in characteristic style. The complaint as
first made out set forth that he had fallen
eight stories, he and his hod, and had
broken or sprained his ankle. but before
the case was opened the complaint was
changed, making it appear that he fell
only two stories, which in all reason is
enough for first adventure of the kind.
From the plaintiffs story on the stand it
appears that the man doing the plumbing
work had dug hole near the foot of the
ladder and when he (O'DonnelD was near
shoulder the ladder slipped in to the hole
and Jared him loose, so that with his bod
full OF mortar he fell. Fortunately, a great
heap of cold mortar had been piled on the
sidewalk and O'Donnell fell straight into
it, legs first, the legs being pointed in diff
ferent directions so that in striking the
mortar they were badly wrenched and his
nip was thrown out OF JOINT. lie was COM
pletely buried in the mortar and his
fellow Iaborers were compelled to dig him
out and that in hurry, his eyes and
mouth being filled with the biting stuff
and his eyes especially being burned by
it. This dramatic acciden. occurred on
March Is and he has not yet sufficiently
recovered to permitting him to resume the
climbing of ladders.
The Judge asked if he had been drink
ing that morning, and he replied that he
had only drunk a bucket of beer and so
was not at all intoxicated.
He sued for $275 and the court allowed

with him at the foundry few days ago
and asked to see what was being done with
the motor. Randolf alleges that while his
back was turned the men carried the ma
chine out to buggy, in which Mrs. How
ard was seated and that she Immediately
drove away with it.
The foreman claims that the bill of the
iron works is lien on the machine and
that the trio were committing larceny in
carrying it away before a settlement of the
indebtedness was made. The preliminary
examination Will be held this morning.
The Saloon Ordinance.
The hope of the canncil for the suppress
sion of the saloon mat the City Council
would finally pass the Sunday -closing
ordinance was dashed last evening by
Councilman Mott, who presented the fol-
lowing resolution at the opening OF the
session:
RESOLVED, That the City Attorney be and is
hereby directed to prepare an ordinance cali
ing special election for the purpose OF sub
uniting the following questions to vote OF the
people: First shall saloons furnishing liquors
to be drunk on the premises be closed up en-
tirely? Second shall saloons be closed from II
o'clock Saturday night until D o'clock Monday
morning?
This measure was opposed by Council
men Dove and Towle, who thought that
the ordinance provided for by the resolu-
ton could not be legally drawn, and that
the amended ordinance calling for the
closing of saloons from II o'clock Saturday
night to o'clock Monday morning should
be passed. The vote resulted in favor
of Councilman Motifs resolution and City
Attorney Piersol was instructed to prepare
the ordinance, if it could be done legally,
and if not to so report to the Council at
the next meeting. When the amended or
dinance came up it was referred back to
the Ordinance and Judiciary Committee,
which shelves it for the present.

WORTHLESS WAR BONDS.
Coupons Issued in 1861 Are Barred b,
the Statute of Limitation.

coupons Issued IN 1901 Are Barred by
the Statute of Limitation.
All outstanding coupons of the Indian
war bonds of 1851 are worthless, and
holders of them cannot now collect their
money. Attorney General Fitzgerald
holds that they are barred by the statute
of limitation. Many thousands of dollars
worth OF these coupons are outstanding,
none of which will be paid.
During the past month or SO quite
number of these coupons were presented
to State Controller Colgan. He submitted
the point to the Attorney General, and he
has given it as his opinion that the statute
of limitation began to run against the
bonds in 1890, and that they are also
governed by the provisions of the act of
1898, which required all claims against the
State to be presented within two years.
This has not been done, and the Controller,
acting under the advice of the Attorney
General, will refuse to pay the coupons.

France, and through Russia's -interven:
ton, the United States, intend to take on
the questions raised by the war between
China and Japan. According TO the
Times correspondent II has'been decided
that the eventual Intervention of these
powers at the proper moment shall be alb,
solutcly disinterested. China will be
asked In her own interests, MS well as in
those of the civilized world, to open her
ports, seeing that the present system has
led to China's powerlessness and ruin.
The powers will wait until China admits
herself vanquished and sincerely nego.
tiates for peace 1t will then be pointed
out to japan that Europe connot allow
her to annex an inch Of the Chinese main
land. But the same impossibility does
not exist in regard to other annexations
which will be open to discussion. There
will be no Intervention concerning YES
sells, arms and other booty nor to the war
indemnity. This question must be settled
between the combatants. No objection
will be raised to Japan retaining certain
positions as pledges of payment. But no
commercial stipulations to the disadvant.
age of the powers will be permitted. Tho
whole world Is to profit by any opening
of ports or liberty to penetrate into the
interior of China. Finally the powers
will insist that the Chinese currency in
future Is to be on the European system,
in order to facilitate the new foreign loan
to which China will be obliged to resort.

Milan, Ohio. Bank Robbed Of ESQ, 200
Burglars Alarm the Town.
About o'clock Monday morning ter
rife explosion awakened the people OF
Milan. Ohio. A hurried examination show
ed that the Lockwood bank building had
been broken into. the safe blown and its
contents, about $4,000 taken by five
masked men. who, In blowing open the
safe. had demolished the building and
started an alarm all over the village.
Among the many who started to investi-
gate the explosion was L. l.. Stoddard,
cashier of the bank. and he was just In
time to see the five men leave the bank
building, jump into carriage and drive
away. He, fired several shots ut them,
but without effect, and the men soon dis
appeared in the direction of Sandusky.
A posse of men was hurriedly organized
and soon followed In pursuit. At the
same time notices were sent by wire In all
directions, and the news spread around
them SO securely that escape was well
nigh impossible. At Sandusky two men
were caught. The exact amount of money
secured cannot yet be ascertained, but
1t is believed to be about $4,000 The
bank is wealthy concern, which fact
was doubtless known by the men. The
only error in their well-laid plans was
the heavy explosion which started the
alarm. 1t is quite probable that they had
not prepared it with sufficient caution and
by that error their plans were upset and
themselves placed in danger OF capture.

The Eagle. Nevertheless.

Some one tells the little anecdote re-
garding the almighty silver dollar:
When our first silver dollars were to
be coined, it was proposed to place an
eagle on the reverse side of the coin.
The adoption of the eagle as q nation,
al emblem was strenuously opposed by
Congressman Lyon on the ground that
the king of birds ought not to be made
the emblem of q nation that had re-
pudiated kings. Judge Thatcher, Con-
gresham from Massachusetts, then
proposed the goose as being n very
humble republican bird. and suggest
ed further that it would be advan-
tageeous inasmuch rs the goslings
might conveniently be placed on the
dimes and other small coins. The mer-
riment that followed Mt the expense
Of Mr.. Lyon was greater than his chOl-
eric temper could bear. and he at once
sent his page to Judge Thatcher with
a challenge to a duel. The Judge de-
clined.
what" shouted Mr.. Lyon, twill you
be branded as cOward?"
Eyes," replied the Judge, II always
was coward. and you knew 1t or Won
would never have sent me the chal-
lenge."
Another volley of laughter followed,
and Mr.. Lyon wisely concluded that
there was no use trying to fight an en-
envy who fired nothing but jokes. They
became warm friends afterwards. But
the eagle was placed on our coins.

BEARDsLEE TO ACT.

American Admiral Said to Have Been
Instructed to Take Pearl Harbor.
A dispatch from Honolulu, dated Feb.
2, and received via Victoria Sunday, says:
1t is learned from semi-ofiicial reports
that Acting Rear Admiral Beardslee's
instructions authorize him to take pos
session of Pearl Harbor for a naval sta
ton and to declare an American protec-
torate over the Hawaiian Islands as soon
as the political conspiracy has been dis
posed of by the military commission. Color
is given to the rumor by government cor
respondence received from Washington
by the last mail and the fact of detail
of officers having been sent down to Pearl
Harbor under the admirals instructions
to prepare to carry out his orders. There
is a lull in affairs here, and quiet will
probably reign until the military court
now sitting shall have finished its work.
Great interest is attached to the forth
coming trial of the ex-queen. The Gov
eminent claims to have more than suffi-
cient evidence to convict her of treason.
There are six specifications in the charge.
The military commission has brought in
findings in twenty-four cases.

IN THE SUNSHINE.

All! we never miss the sunshine
Till the storm clouds roll apace,
And we never miss the dear love
Till we see the cold dead face;
And our hearts are seldom melted
Till the voice Is hu.hed and still.
OF the loved one we have walked With
Up the pathway of life's hill
Let us linger in LIES sunshine
Till the last gla ray departs,
Let the twilights and the dawningn
Link the closer trusting hearts;
Then each morrow will be brighter
For the sunshine that hath been,
And life's burden be lighter
For the sympathies between.
Oh! to speak some words of Kindness
In the ear of human woe
Is like eyes to stony blindness
or the cropping ones below;
So the touch of tender fingers
On the throbbing brow of pain
Is the sweet of life that fingers
Ere we turn to earth again
