What Governor Al.Seld Says.

In a recent interview concerning the
campaign in Illinois Governor Altgeld
said:
We had this state Won a month ago.
I understand now that our Republican
friends concede my election as gov
ernor; and if they do that it can but
mean that Mr.. Bryan will also carry
the state"
The governor also thinks that both
he and Mr.. Bryan will carry Cock
county. And in this connection he
gives full credit to the splendid work
which is being done by the silver Re-
publicans who have organized over 40
Bryan and Altgeld clubs in that city

Union'. Puffery for AItgeId.

When the Union last spring went
out OF its way to indulge in fulsome
putfery of Gov. Altgeld it was not
supposed that it would carry it into
the campaign. but it has seen tit to
do so. which fact should be duly ap-
preciated. In the second column of an
article appearing in its Saturday is
sue devoted Ostensively to Gov. Alt
geld appears the following:
"The forests. natures school, have

The accuracy of this estimate may be
best understood when it is known that
in 1892 Nevada cast 2.S22 Republican
votes, III Democratic. 1886 Populist,

haven't even an electoral ticket in Ne

was noticeable, recovered in most in- stances rather sharply. As for the ex- ecutive statements on the Cuban situ- ation, it was plain that the stock ex- change was uncertain exactly how to take them.
 The presidents review of the situa- tion was sufficiently reserved and diplo- matic to remind no one of the other re- markable message of a year ago, and
 Washington dispatches reported con-
 gressmen as peacefully disposed-not a
 wholly unexpected phenomenon, since
 the presidential campaign is over. It
 was the explosion of crazy jingoism on
 the floor of congress, more decidedly
 than the Venezuelan message itself.
 which caused the great collapse in val
 ues during December 1895.
 The nature of the supplementary re-
 port of MT. Olney did not become gen.

 selling, however, was almost wholly speculative, and was obviously experi- l mental in it's character.

Massachusetts Follows the Precedent
 Established by Connecticut on the
 Subject.
 A recent issue of the Worcester (Mass.) Spy has the following on the subject of tsolley railroads crossing the tracks of steam railroads at grade;
 Our state railroad commissioners took action for the public interest in forbidding a trolley company to cross the tracks of the Consolidated Railroad company at grade in Leominster. In doing this, they have followed the pre- cedent established by Connecticut, which has had for several years law requiring a separation of grades at points where trolley lines cross steam roads The principle of this law is to protect the lives of passengers on both systems by making collisions impossi7 ble The question of competition be- tween the two systems is too trivial to be considered when human lives are in jeopardy. There should be nothing to interfere with the movements of fast passenger trains on steam roads, nor should there be danger to trolley line passengers at grade crossings. The Connecticut law is a good one for every state to enact, in connection with an equitable division of the expenses in cured in the separation of grades be- tween the roads and the community.

 The vast sum necessary for the com pletion of the building was greatly aug mented by the offering of 300 life mem berships at $500 each, applications for which came in with gratifying rapidi- ty. These life memberships practically underwrite the prosperity of the organ ization, because of the vested interest thereby created.

Presidents Message Causes the Market to
 Slump Still Further.

New York, Dec. 7.-Practically all of the interest in to-day's financial mar kets centered upon the presidents an- nual message, and as the document was not submitted to congress or re- leased for publication until half-past one D. m, the early stock market of the day was purely perfunctory. On the publication of the message prices de- clined. The three sections of the mes sage on which Wall streets curiosity was focused were the Cuban matter, the problem of the trusts and the gov ernment's plans regarding the Pacific railroad debts.
 The remarks of the message on the Union Pacific foreclosure proceedings. and on the matter of legislation against the trusts, were exactly what had been expected. Still, they were interpreted as having an unfavorable bearing on the stocks concerned; therefore Union Pacific declined immediately. and Su- gar certificates. Leather preferred.

Probate court-Judge Cleaveland.

Hearing on the contest over the will of the late William R. Hubbell, of Hub bell, Merwin & Co.,, was begun in the probate court yesterday morning. The contestant is Mrs. Emily M. Nichols, a daughter of the deceased by his first wife. She was disinherited under the will. The will bequeathed all the es- tate to the testators widow, who was his second wife. The estate Is valued at from s25O00 to $60,0O0. Undue influ- ence is alleged in the contest.
 Judge L. P Deming appeared for the will and Harry w. Asher for the con- testant.
 The first witness examined in the trial was Leopold Besser, clothing deal CT in State street. Besser is notary public, and he drew the will on Octo- Der 2S last at the request of Mr. Hub bell He said the testator was not in bed when he saw him, but was in feeble health MT. Besser said, however, that MT. Hubbell's mind was rational, and he was capable of transacting any bus iness his physical condition would per- init him to do.
 The only other witnesses examined
 
 were Charles Merwin and John c. Bates, who were witnesses for the will. They testified that the testator was of sound mind when the will was signed. The contestant, after examination of the witnesses, decided to put in no evil dence, and the will was admitted to probate by Judge Cleaveland.
