AN INTERESTING CASE.
The Suit of Francis Against kellogg
and Simmons on Trial.

The Suit of Francis Against Kellogg
and Simmons on Trial.
A very interesting case is now being
tried before Judge Catlin in Depart
ment One of the Superior Court It is
that of George Francis against Cor
nelius Kellogg and D. J. Simmons for
the recovery of 81, 800
Francis claims in his complaint that
Kellogg attached his possessions for
S236 for rent that it was agreed that
he should transfer to Kellogg his goods
in trust, and that in order that the rent
should be paid the goods were to be sold
by D. J. Simmons and the S236 to be
taken out of the proceeds, the balance
il there should be any, to be returned to
Francis. The latter claims to have
turned over to Kellogg, to be sold by
Simmons. 1,750 worth of goods, and
that after the sale Kellogg and Sim
mons represented to him that they re-
allied only the sum of $500 from the
sale.
He claims that they bought the goods
in for themselves, and therefore con-
spired to defraud him of what was
rightfully due him after the rent was
deducted from the proceeds of the sale
His contention is that they afterWard
sold the goods again and secured a
greater price than that represented to
Francis after the first sale
Simmons testified yesterday that he
sold the goods to H. & Co. for $500
When asked by Francis attorney who
H. & Co. were, he replied Heisen & Co,
and that he was a member of the firm.
Charles Heisen swore that he did not
buy the goods. He admitted, however,
that Simmons drew an order on him for
$500 which he paid.
Heisen was asked what security Sim
mons gave for the money. He replied
that Simmons gave 10 security; he had
frequently loaned Simmons money
without security.
The suit will be decided by a jury
composed of J. E. Berg, Ed. Spafford,
w. X Cothrin, Robert Bomby, A. l..
Warren, P. Stanton, o. c. Smith, H. F.
Pierson, P. A. Miller, c. Boothroyd. T.

QUEER FREAK OF NATURE.
A Catfish With Two Livers and Two
Gall BIadders.

w r. Jones, one of the proprietors of
the fish market, met with a genuine
curiosity the other day, in the shape Of
a blue cat.
The fish had two distinct and we'll
developed livers and two gall bladders,
united together on a common stem.
Although, as Mr. Jones says, he has
skinned millions of them" he states
that he has never, in all his experience,
come across so strange a freak of nature
before.
But what a loss to a portion of the
medical fraternity the untimely death
of that catfish has been. Could they only
have known, before its disemboweling
the true inwardness of his mechanism,
what splendid chance it would have
been to test the great benefit to be de-
rived from DR.. Smiths Liver Regulator,
Dir. Green's Liver Pills, or DR.. Blacks
Kidney and Liver Bitters and to have
been able TO publish to startled world
a flaming testimonial reading some
thing in this style:
Dear Doctor: 1 write you this un-
solicited testimonial to thank you for
the good you have done me- One week
ago I was almost at the point Of death
My right liver was badly swollen and
my left liver had become involved. A
friend brought your invaluable remedy
to my notice, and have taken a bottle
day ever since. This is larger doses
than you order, but I deemed it due to
both my livers to give your remedy a
fair trial. Before taking it / could
only eat few carp each day, but now
feel as if l could tackle a whale Some
people may carp at this statement, but
it should not be classed as a fish story,
as there is nothing scaly about it,
hope others may receive the same bene-
mt from it that I have. Yours hungrily,
"a r CAT"

One thing should be kept IN mind

and his own inclination have kept him
within narrow bounds. Europe has sent
back 80 much OF our bonds and stocks
that a war scare over there no longer has
the power TO alarm anybody but specu
latore Our imports have sbrunk
materially, and our exports are relatively
large. This Is the reason why at q
season Of the year when gold is usually
leaving our shores In large quantities
