The question of infected parrots, which
created such a sensation in Paris two years
ago, seems to have again come before the
public. At Versailles, at Maisons-Laffitte.

the death of several persons, who have been
struck down, it would seem, by this same
mysterious disease which was said to have
been brought into France in 1898 by exotic
parrots
The inquiry. made by M. Dujardin-Bea

epidemics. Eberth and Wolff, he points out,
have described how parrots have imported
into Europe septic disease which can be
determined by the microscope.
However, Parisians need not be alarmed
by the reports which have recently been
spread. for at no bird dealers has there
been discovered a single diseased parrot.

some experiments, which is distinct step

whether parrots can really spread disease.

And so 1t was decided.
But Hopetoun did not sleep that night
because of the new doubt that had been in
stilled into his mind.
The question harassed him until daylight
stole into the loom. Would Miss Carstairs
refuse to release him or not? The more he
pondered, the more he was convinced now
that Bella would decline to take things
easily. She would even go to Canada
rather than lose you altogether" The
words recurred to him impressively. He
had a presentiment that his mission was
going to fail, and the ominous sensation
deepened when he rose.
Breakfast was taStelesS to him. His train
left The Deerccurt station at IL, and he
spent the interval endeavoring to persuade
Kate to reconsider her determination.

would not heed.

into the train gloomiy. When he arrived

brandy and soda with a double allowance
of brandy. He felt better after that but it
chagrined him to reflect that the improve

hanson reached the house.
He hailed one, and told the man to drive
rapidly. He was dismayed beyond words

He bade the man stop at the Swiss Cot

a telegram to Deercourt.

RELEASED FROM LIABILITY.
Judge BrilPs Decision In the Hart
ford Bank Case.

Judge Brill, yesterday, filed a deci-
sion in the case of the Hartford Nation
al bank, the Kuhl, Cumming company
and others releasing the individual
stockholders from liability in the debts
of the defunct firm. Among those who
were made defendants in the action
were ]. J. Hill, J. H. Allen, Joseph
Mickey, r. c.. Jefferson, Noyes Bros
& Cutler, Finch, Van Slych, Young &
company, J. w. Lusk, A. B. Stickney,
M. Auerbach and D. c. Sheppard.
In the decision Judge Brill finds that
the company was organized, as is
shown in the articles of incorporation,
for the purpose of conducting a manu-
featuring business only, and such other
incidental business as was necessary.
The court decides that the company did
not violate it's charter, as was alleged.
in that it was said to have engaged in
other than manufacturing business,
and that the stockholders other than
the firm are not liable for the debts of
the company.
1t is found that the violation of the
charter alleged Is not substantiated,
though the firm purchased articles for
it's regular customers which 1T did not
manufacture. This the court holds to
have been of no significance, and to
have been incidental to the regular
business of the company. 1t also APP
peared that many of those named as
defendants had disposed of their stock.
though to whom was reserved for fur
Their inquiry If it be deemed necessary.
The matter Of what actual notice the
stockholders had Of the business of the
company, relative to the kind of bust
ness and methods pursued was also
left for further inquiry

ding. Mr. Cullen also agrees to give
the city the option of renting the bull
ding for three years more at the same
price, providing the city will make all
repairs during the said three years.
The proposition was accepted.
Mayor Doran's appointments Of M
j. Schorn and Soren Sorensen as driver
OF the workhouse van, and patrolman.
respectively were referred to the com
mittee on police The assembly con-
Cured in the removal Of ex-Patrolman
Joseph Warren, in whose place Soren-
sen was appointed.
The assembly did not take final ac-
ton upon the mayors veto of Mr.
Examiners resolution authorizing the
city clery to furnish type written or
printed copies of such proposed or
dinances as the council might direct.
The veto was based upon the ground
that the resolution contemplated an un-
necessary expense. Mr.. Krahmer said
that his intention was that the CITY
clerk should furnish type Written
copies without expense. The resolution
and veto were finally referred to the
committee on printing.
A resolution was received from the
board of public works granting the
board authority to modify the con-
tract Tor paving Fifth street from
Wabasha street to Broadway by pro-
viding for an asphalt pavement between

resolution was adopted aut llorizing the
modification. The owners of the prop

Arosin, Lewis and Thomson voted
against the resolution because it did
not limit the amount to be expended
for the school building
Thereupon the resolution was recon-
sidered, and an amendment added, pro-
vfdfng that the expenditure should not
exceed $4,000, which is 80 per cent of
$4,000, the amount originally set aside
for an addition to the German school.
The amendment was carried by a vote
OF eight to 1, and the resolution. as
amended, was adopted by the same
vote. Mr.. Reardon voted mo- on the
ground that separate eight-room
school could not be conducted as eco
nomically as an addition.
The resolution having been amended
by the assembly must be submitted to
the board Of aldermen at it's next
meeting. If the board concurs with
the assembly, and the mayor signs the
resolution, the contract for erecting
the school building can be awarded
and the work commenced within thir-
ty days.

chise of the National Subway company
which was passed by the board Of al
dermen some time last winter and
which has been pending ever since In

modate the attorneys for the North

The committee on attractions and

This will be an interesting feature to

from novels and from wooden images

Mr.. Butler, in making his opening
address to the jury, was several times
interrupted by Mr.. Cormican and
finally Mr.. Butler appealed to the
court. He said If the Interruptions
kept up he would withdraw from the
case. This having been smoothed over
the case proceeded and DR.. Clark was
called to the stand. The doctor stated
that he had known Leary about
eighteen months, and in January, 1895,
had filed information in the probate
court which resulted in Leary having
an examination as to his sanity.
Leary he stated, had been found not
insane by the commission who ex-
amined him. On the afternoon of
June II, he had met Leary on a train
from White Bear to Dellwood and it
was here that the language was used.
He had not taken much part in the
conversation, but was rather anxious
to get out Of the affair without any
bodily harm. Later in the day Leary
had told him that he had intended to
kill him but had changed his mind.
to grow out Of his action in the in
sanity proceedings In the probate
court which he had instituted at the
request of aJnumber of citizens in 1895.
The doctor further testified that he
had heard some sone around his house
during the night time, and fearing
bodily harm, bad sworn out the war
rant. Erwin Parker, a brakeman on
the train, corroborated the statements
of the doctor as to the scene on the
train, and the marshal Of White Bear
who made the arrest Of Leary In the
vicinity of the doctors house with half
dozen shot gun cartridges In his
pocket.
Leary on his own behalf admitted
that he might have called the doctor
names, but did not recall that he had
threatened to do him up. He ex-
planned the shot gun shells In his
pocket by saying that he intended go
ing deer hunting and was about to
have the shells loaded with tallow In
order that the shot would not scatter.
He was on his way to have the shells
fixed when arrested. Mr.. Cormican
made lengthy address to the jury
and Mr.. Butler followed in f1ve-min-
ute talk The court charged the jury
and told them that if they found the
defendant was insane at the time they
should so state in their verdict. The
jury acted on the suggestion and re-
turned verdict that the defendant at
the time the offense was committed
was insane. Mr.. Normican after the
verdict had been rendered moved that
Leary be discharged on the ground
that the court had not Jurisdiction
over person who was insane at the
time a crime was committed.
Judge ORR however, denied the mo-
ton and sc6islnued the case until Sat-
urday. I'M the meantime he directed
that the, county attorney file informa-
ton of insanity with the probate court
and that Leary be examined by a
commission as to his sanity.
