Great Centers of Population are Affected.

Not since the grip made its first appear
ance in this country nine years ago have
there been so many thousands laid up with
this terrible disease as there are now. In
New York city alone more than Al, 900
school children and 100000 adults are abb
sent from their usual haunts on account
of grip. Teachers, clerks, business men,
mechanics, laborers, street car drivers,
police officers and even the doctors-all
furnish victims by the hundreds. In every
branch of activity and industry the de-
pressing effects of the epidemic are appar-
ent and in rnany Instances business has
been suspended.
The results of the grip in many cases
are more serious than the disease itself.
Pneumonia, bronchial troubles, diphtheria,
rheumatism, heart failure, even paralysis
and consumption follow an epidemic of
grip and swell the death rate for months
after the disease has died out.
No remedy yet discovered by the emil
nent scientists who have experimental for
cure of grip can show results equal to

No sooner had two men stepped off the
sidewalk in front of a store at Nos. 80 to "a
North Illinois street at 2:3O o'clock yester-
day afternoon than a section of it fifteen
feet long fell into the basement of the store.
People nearby thought it was an earth
quake and expected to see the street swal-
lowed up by a chasm. but no such phenom-
enOn developed. The passage over the side
walk was heavy all afternoon, but by some
fortunate combination of circumstances no
one was on that particular section of the
sidewalk when it fell. 1t is supposed the
stones had worn away from their supports.
In 1884 there was a similar cavern on the
opposite side of the street: further north.

The Big Bottle of Choral at the PO-
lice Station.

The police station at times becomes an
asylum for drink-cursed men, and they flee
to it for protection from themselves Rob-
ert Ball entered the turkeys room yester-
day afternoon, shaky and sick, and asked
that he be locked up.
What charge can 1 put against your
asked Turnkey Taffe.
Drunk of course said Ball. He was
recovering from long spree, and appar-
emily was on the verge of prostration. His
wish was granted, and after he was behind
the bars the turnkey gave him a dose of
chloral to quiet his nerves. Ball has for
several years been runner for loW-rate ho-
tells. He was once bookkeeper in an Ohio
town, but it is said he got into trouble and
then his descent began. He is forty-nine
years old. One time he went to the police
station and asked Turnkey Taffe to put a
charge of drunk against him, and the next
morning in Police Court he pleaded not
guilty. Taffe was called on the witness
stand and made the case against Ball.
The big choral bottle that stands on the
wardrobe in the turkeys Office is refiled
about once week The turkeys have be-
come so practiced in its use that they know
about how much to give men in different
stages of prostration or delirium, and they
are very careful in administering it,

INTERPRETATIONS AND FEES.
Secretary of State Discusses Them in
His Report.

The biennial report of Secretary Of State
Owen was filed with the Governor yesterday
covering the period from Nov. /, 1896, to
Oct. 81, 1898. The more important features
are as follows:
THE receipts for the fiscal term have been
$54 1850. No great fees have been received
during this term from the consolidation Of
railway interests. These fees have hereto
fore formed large part of the income of
the office; but the receipts from incOrpora-
tons have materially increased during the
present term The suit for the fee of So, 900
due the State on the consolidation of the
Chicago e. Eastern Illinois Railroad Com
pany and the Chicago & Indiana Coal Rail-
way Company, forming the Chicago q East
Illinois Railway Company, on an au-
thoriZed capital stock of $50 900, 600, which
was Instituted by my predecessor, in 1894,
was decided adversely to the interests of the
State. Attorney General Ketcham, assisted
by ex-Attorney General Smith, filed Sec
ond suit against the railway company for
the $25, 900 fee, and obtained Judgment which
was recently sustained by the decision of the
Supreme Court of the State The fee how
ever has not been recovered to this office.
The representative of the railway company
has declared that the company would not
yield to the decision of the Supreme Court
of Indiana, and has carried the case by APP
peal to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
'''The statute provides that corporations
expiring by limitation, forfeiture or other
wise, shall be continued bodies corporate
for three years after they have been dis
solved, for the purpose of winding up their
affairs but not for the continuance of cor
,porate business Frequent confusion arises
where corporations have ceased TO operate
the purpose for which they We're organized,
and yet have not filed in this Office
declaration of dissolution. Corporations
which have fallen into disuse ought to have
their exact status defined. and probably
there is no better way than for the law to
declare a dissolution after a certain time
of diSuse. / therefore suggest that the law
be amended so as TO declare the dissolution
Of corporation three years after IL ceases
practically to operate its corporate func-
tons"

EmpIoyes, LiabiIity Decision.

The Supreme Court yesterday decided that
when foreman employed by a corporation
in his absence delegates his authority to a
workman the company cannot be held liable
for injuries to employees resulting from ac-
cident due to the incompetence of the per-
T. Hodges against the Standard Wheel
Company of this. city the lower court held
that as Hodges had been injured by a pile
of wheel rims falling on him during the
absence of the superintendent and while a
workman who had been left in charge was
attempting to hold the pile of wheels in
place while Hodges was trying to do some
work beneath them the liability did not fall
on the company, and the Supreme Court
affirmed the decision.

The clands, pispute with Ritter.

Henry and Mary Claud began action In
the Superior Court yesterday against Eli +.
Ritter, in which they demand damages and
seek to have a mortgage released. The
plaintiffs aver that. in 1896, they owned some
unimproved real estate in North Indian
apolis in the shape of town lots. Eli f. Rit-
ter, they aver, held mortgage on the lots
for $3.50. which was bearing interest at the
rate of per cent. and which would fall due
on Feb. l, 1898. The plaintiffs charge that in
July, 1897, long before the mortgage was
due. the defendant Ritter induced them to
convey the property to him to hold in trust
They say they executed trust deed 10
tate and added to its value. At the time
they assert. they were about to negotiate a
loan to pay off the mortgage debt Ritter

ey that the defendant realized from the
use of the property over and above the
amount of their Indebtedness to him. They
charge that after the defendant took pos
session of the property. he mortgaged it for
$1,000 without their knowledge and applied
the money TO his own use. They say they
have since offered to pay their indebtedness
on the property, but the defendant refuses
to remove the mortgage incumbrance. They
ask the court TO appoint commissioner to
settle the mortgage question, and in addi-
ton, they demand $500 damages.
