the track. In this building is the com

supply of breadstuffs and will continue
to feel the shortage, no matter what kind
of crop it may have this season." The

was under consideration in the repub-.

spectacle met the view of the delegates.
George Hughes and party of railroad
shouters sat together in the hall. Every
time that motion was put for or against
the railroads, Young Hughes and his
gang voted on the railroad side, and at
the top Of their voices. If this thing
should be repeated, it is likely that there
will be some plain words in the con-
vention.

JUDGE W. T. WALLACE ILL. Rumors That He Had Died Suddenly Create Considerable Excitement.

Wild rumors that death had suddenly stricken the venerable jurist William T. Wallace, created considerable excitement in the City Hal1 and on the streets yes terday morning. Thursday evening when Judge Wallace left the courtroom he com plained of being extremely i'll and fever ish. Through the night he suffered con- siderably and yesterday morning was un- able to attend court. Shortly after the hour for court to convene rumors that the jurist had expired were circulated. Many of the courts adjourned tout of re- spect to the memory of the dead" and for a time no business was transacted. No tices of the death of Judge Wallace were spread on the minutes of several depart ments, the following appearing on the record in Judge Belcher's department:
 At 11:20 a. m. Fisher Ames, Esq, called the courts attention to the sudden demise of Hon. William T. Wallace, Judge of the Superior Court Department S, and Inov- ed the court to adjourn out of respect to his memory. Court was ordered ad- journed."
 Judge Wallace was to have charged the jury in the trial of Walter Rosser. but as he was unable to attend court Judge Dunne was given the instructions pre- viously prepared by Judge Wallace and read them to the jury.

 Law recognizes the necessity for autopsies designed to disclose evidence of crime. In the present n- stance, such evidence according to the testimony of reputable surgeons, had been discovered. That the girl had been killed by blow blows on the head seemed to be established through certain adhesion noted in the membranes within the skull. Lawyer Bennett and Dr. Woolsey removed this damaging evi- dence, Why?
 There IS disposition now to make charges that the theft done with foul intent oi defeating jus tice, and yet that made for honorable purposes the public will be slow to believe A lawyer who would resort to ghoulish method must not be surprised tc note signs of disapproval There is no doubt that the membranes could be manipulated as to destroy their character as revealed by the autopsy, render them vaueless to the prosecution and muely dispute the assertions of the experts Nobody say that this will be done, attempt made to do it. but the ground for withholding faith in an attorney who would resort to such plan purloinng the skull ct murders supposed victim does not inspire faith in the purity Of his motives

Fraudulent Appropriation of An- others Property.
 His conviction and sentence of im- prisonment having been approved by the highest court in the land. Burns launched forlorn hope in the shape of an "Amparo" appeal-that is, an ap- peal to the court for relief from the sentence. From the record:
 The Court by a bare majority gave D. M. Burns liberty on the technical point that he held a Federal title Obtained through his net of declar- ing the mines deserted) to the Can deIaria mines, and whether it was good or bad, the Supreme Court in the Amparo appeal, had no right to investigate, and that the prisoner could not be held for crime until civil proceedings were had in the proper court, and the Federal Act and the title given him under it had been declared illegal.
 The civil suit has been instituted and is now pending in the. Mexican courts. What the result will be should it be decided against Burns is apparent.
