The New Ferry.

The County Court held a meeting to
day and heard arguments for and
against the establishment of ferry
across the Ohio river at Gould avenue.
The application was made for the
ferry some time ago, but 1t has been
vigorously opposed by the owners of
the old ferry. Messrs. w. Voorman,
G. e. Tracewell and ]. A. Athey were
appointed viewers by the court, and
they reported in favor of the proposed
ferry, believing as they did that the
large population in that end of town
should have this convenience.
At the meeting this morning B. M.
Amber, representing the owners of
the old ferry, attacked the report of
the viewers and asked that it be
quashed on the ground that it did not
presnt facts, but only opinions.
Messrs. McSweeney & Barrett, who
represented the petitioners, held that
the clients had come before the body
in legal manner, their application was
in proper form and that the privilege
should be granted the petitioners to
establish a ferry.
After hearing arguments the court
refused to reject or quash the report
of the viewers. The Court is now en-
gagged in hearing evidence for and
against the establishment of the ferry.

Gen. Palmer May Receive a Pension,

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 9.-General
John NJ Palmer, who ran for President
of the United States in 1896, and who
served one term in the Senate, has per-
manently lost the sight of his right eye
In addition his hearing is badly af-
fected.
His personal and political friends in
Springfield are deeply concerned about
his finances, which, they say, are at
low ebb, and have initiated move
ment ito enlist the services of Senator
Cullom to secure the passage of a bill
by Congress which will award him
pension of about 500 per month, pay
able during the remainder of his life.
General Palmer is now >82 years old.
Congressman Connely, of this district,
suggested the desirability of introduce
ing such a bill upward of year ago,
and after comforting with the former
Senator's law partner and others, said
he would have the bill prepared, and
that he would introduce it in the
House. For some reason which he
has not explained he has neglected to
do SO, and General Palmers friends
finally appealed to Senator Cullom.
A call at General Palmer's home this
evening found him engaged in dictat-
ing to Mrs. Palmer, who was writing
on typewriter. General Palmer said
that he has not been informed of any
concerted action on the part of his
friends to secure for him Govern
ment allowance or pension, but, he
said, If Congress would pass such a
bill as suggested, he would gratefully
accept its provisions as a renewed
evidence of confidence and esteem"

ODD
Was the Cause Which Provoked This
Application for Injunction.

Peoria, ILL.,, Jan. 9.--Ignatz Frewen,
a member of a Hebrew society, Great
ed ripple in the States Attorneys
Office by applying for an injunction
against death. He said that a fortune
teller, young man who belongs to the
same society, and who INDUCES in
prophecy more as diversion than as
an occupation, had predicted THAT he
would die on January Is.
81 cannot possibly arrange my bust
ness affairs in that time," said Frewen
in desperation, land l don't want to
die and leave my things unsettled.
Can't you grant me an injunction
against the fortune teller and make
him Withdraw the prophecy"
He was told that the angel of death
would not be enjoined nor the fortune
teller prevented from making proph-
ecies.
"Then what am l to do?" he said
imploringly.
Don't do anything" he was told.
But pay no attention to the prediction
1t won't come true"
But Frewen could not be convinced
of this and he went away half sobbing
The fortune teller predicted recently
the deaths of four persons, and each
died on the dates he named. In the
last one he said young woman would
die. She enjoyed good health until the
evening specified. Then she fell down
stairs and received injuries that re-
suited in her death in "a few hours.
This frightened Frewen, and he firm
ly believed that he was doomed to die
on January Is as foretold. Persons
who have watched Frewen fear that he
will worry himself to death unless the
fortune teller grants him a respite, ,as
the poor fellow firmly believes that he
must depart tnis life according to pre-
dictlon.
