ANOTHER SILK MILL.
1t May BE Established Here by New
York Men.


Several men from New York city who
are looking for a suitable location for
a silk mill were in the city yesterday
and were shown about by Secretary D.
b. Atherton. of the board of trade.
The gentlemen did not consider it ad-
visable to locate their mill on the South
Side and confined their Investigations
to the northern part of the city and the
territory lying between the city line
and Olyphant There are number of
silk mills on the South Side at the
present time and another one starting
down there might be handicapped by
scarcity of the right kind of labor.
All that the men who were here yes
terday ask is the donation of a suitable
site, and If this Is given them they may
come. If they decide to locate here they
will erect mill 3OOx1O0 feet, which will
employ $50 persons.

DEFENSE RESTED.

DEFENSE RESTED.
With this the defense rested and Mr..
Farnham began the opening for the
plaintiff in rebuttal of the alleged
trust set up by burlington.
The title of II. NJ Fuller. Mr.. Farm
ham went on to say, was not a title
in trust but an absolute title, he hav-
ing purchased the land for the credi-
tors of the Hermann brothers. Will
liam Won Storch paid to Fuller be-
tween $500 and $4,000 in solid cash,
that he might pay off the debts owine
to the clients for whom he nad bought
the property In consideration of this
Fuller gave to William a full title and
under this conveyance William now
sues.
burlington has been simply a tenant
by suffrage, he said. All these years
that burlington has occupied the prop
erty, William has paid the taxes, made
Improvements and in other ways su-
pervised, directed and controlled the
property without let or hindrance and
with, the full knowledge of the tenants
that he was acting in the capacity of
undisputed owner.
1t was the purpose of the plaintiffs
side, Mr.. Farnham further said, to put
in evidence a paper drawn up at the
time of the Bennett transfer in 1868
and signed by various of the heirs of
Ferdinand, Mrs. Sawyer, the star wit
ness for the defense, among them,
showing that they then disclaimed all
equity in the plot in dispute and
avowed that this particular piece of
land was not held by William as trus-
tee, but that he had the unquestion-
able legal and equitable title in it.
TESTIMONY TAKEN.
Then began the taking of testimony
in support of these contentious, Mr..
Scragg examining for the plaintiff and
Mr.. Kelly ross-examining.
G. d. Farnham, a carpenter, who has
been a neighbor of the Won Storchs for
over forty years testified that he did
work on the property occupied by Cur
rington in 1876 and 1878 at the direction
Of William, and had received pay for
the some from William. In contradic-
tion of Currington's testimony, Mr..
Farnham further stated that he hung
gates on the line fence between the
property occupied by burlington and
Williams residence at Williams direc-
ton, under Williams personal su-
rervision, In presence of burlington
and without any objection or slightest
show of opposition from burlington.
He also testified that another time
when he shingled the roof of Curing
toms home, he received the material
from William and was paid by him
for the work.
Thomas Shotten, assessor of the Sec
ond ward, stated that in 1888 when he
was first appointed he went to Cur
rington in making up his assessment
to find who the property should be as
sessed to. burlington told him that
Uncle william" had always paid the

The Big Rock and Chromo.

We sincerely regret that our friend from Sheffield has intimated his sell fishness in such an extravsgant outlay as 'twould be to procure either of ''the proposed portraits. We extend both sympathy and charity for his short com ing. We presume he did not stop to consider. but was suddenly impressed with something nice and did not even think what the expense might be for such a luxury.
 Now as to the texture of the rock in question. It is somewhat mixed. No lime stone as might be thought, nor granite or marble, but plenty of quartz, common gray or blue stone-as much of quartz as all others combined.
 Would like to state right here that neither "the wandering scribe nor J. M R. are "in it" unless our friend will make an offer as liberal as did J. NJ. R. to start of with according to the pro. posed outlay. At first it was thought 8 cheap chromo would be quite an in. ducement for hundreds to simply guess on so common thing as rock. While either of those proposed would be am pie remuneration for weeks, or ever months, of severest mental labor. Nc figuring, simply guess work, is required in the rock case. Facts concerning the chromos are herein stated. J.MR.

Deafness Can't be Cured

oy local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
