To Dismiss the Grave Robbery Case
Against the Medical College.

The medical college has succeeded in
avoiding the last suit for damages on
account of the grave rO5beries. Late
Thursday afternoon the case for $40, 900
brought by 1. o. Van Fleet was COM
promised and dismissed. 1t was to
have been tried during this term of
court.
The college had little difficulty in
settling the other damage suits but Mr..
Van Fleet was obdurate. He would set
tie for So 600 but no less. The college
authorities held out. They did not want
to try the case but they did not care to
pay the injured husband so much mon
ely. So the arrangements for the trial
went steadily on.
lege offered Van Fleet 81, 900 to settle.
he wavered awhile and finally accepted
the proposition and the last grave rob-
for a consideration of 81, 900 which, how
ever, does not appear on the records
and is not supposed to be known.

HANNA WAS FUNNY.
Made a Humorous Speech at Scotch
Irish Banquet.

Philadelphia, Feb. Ex-senator Mark
Hanna was one of the guests of honor
last night at the ninth annual banquet
of the Pennsylvania Scotch Irish so
ciety.
Senator Hanna's speech was entirely
humorous and devoid Of any mention OF
politics. After the banquet he was
spoken to in relation to the De LONE
episode, and asked what action, if any,
the senate was likely to take.
THAT is a hard question: he replied.
''As yet the matter has not come up.
Whether it viii or not, is something the
next few days will doubtless devel-
op."
Senator Hanna then went on to say
that the feeling against the Spanish
minister in congressional circles was e11-
tremely bitter, but that the majority Of
the more conservative members were
with the president in their decision not
to split hairs over the manner of De
Iome's retiring, so long as he departed
from the country. and that QUICKLY.
