Railways ut Cleveland.

CLEVELAND. o., March l-Judge Ham
mond decided the celebrated lake front case

city and the Big -Four Railroad. by which
the latter secured the right to the use cf
Bath street, gave the railroad the exclusive
and irrevocable right to that street and to
its accretions made by the Milling In or the
lake shore along the street. This was the
main point involved I'm the case. the city
maintaining that the Council had no author-
ity to make the contract OF 1S49, that the

erty extending from Front street 70 the lake
from the river to Water street. The use OF
Front street, formerly Bath street, was
granted TO the Big -Four Railroad by tho

the city received $1,000 in stock. Since that
time the railroads have filled in along tina

Arbor, and Colonel ELI p Eston were nomi-
mated by for regents of the uni
versity. John j. Carton, of Flint. as a Pin
gree supporter. was chosen temporary chair
man. There was a warm fight over he adop-
ton of a platform. The convention refused
to reaffirm the platform of last year in
favor of the Pingree bill for taxation of
railroad and telegraph property. The reso-
lutions as adopted Endorses the administra-
ton of Governor Pingree and m
that the Legislature pass some act that
shall embody the principle OF equal taxa
ton. to which the party is already COM
mitted.' The remainder Of the platform ex-
presses confidence in President Mckinley
and congratulateS the country upon estab-
lishment of honorable peace; the revival of
industry and prosperity is accredited to the
wisdom of Republican principles and their
administration. Gratitude Is expressed for
the sacrifice Of soldiers and sailors in the
late war.
The money plank is as follows: we re-
affirm the principles Of the st. Louis plat
form and pledge them our support as a
sure guarantee of national prosperity and
honor: we stand upon the existing gold
standard and condemn the proposition TO
admit silver to free and unlimited coinage

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS
One Cause Of sIeepIessness That Can
BE Overcome.

Mr.. VIM. Handschu. OF Forty-sixth street,
Cotton alley. Pittsburg. Pa. expresses him
self as follows regarding the new remedy
for that common and obstinate disease.
piles: Il take pleasure I'm stating that 1 was
so afflicted with piles that for three months

ly Frustrated. the doctors did me no good:
my brother told me OF the new remedy for
piles. the Pyramid Pile Cure; I purchased
Of my druggist three 5-cent boxes and they
completely cured me. 1 am once more at
work and but for this excellent remedy I
would be on my back. / take great pleasure
in writing this letter because so many peo-
pie are sufferers from this trouble who like
myself did not know where TO look for a
permanent, safe, reliable cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
for the past three years has demonstrated To-
the medical profession as well as to thou

safest and most effectual pile cure ever Of

eight years vast. During the Spanish war
II had furnished the government about A.
0c.00 pounds.
Colonel Davis then turned to the chemical
phase OF the inquiry and asked: What
agent do you depend on for the preservation
OF dressed beef?'
NOTHING BUT COLD AIR.
"Cold air" replied witness: absolutely
nothing else" Mr.. Meeker said he knew
that one Powell had made some expert
ments at Tampa with chemically prepared
beef. but he knew nothing of the details OF
this experiment, and none of the beef was
sold to the government.
Regarding canned roast beef witness said
there was no distinction between the pack
ing cattle and those for refrigerating, ex-
cept that the Gamers and packers were
leaner. so as TO not get SO much fat in the
can. The leanest part of the carcasses was
selected for packing. Witness said his
company turned out about 100000 pounds
of canned meats last year. The only by
product OF the canned beef was the water
in which the meat was boiled. which fur
nished IAN infinitesimal amount of beef eX-
tract" Pressed TO say how much beef ex-
tract would be made IN packing a hundred
pounds of beef, witness pleaded ignorance or
exact figures. adding that scientific authori-
ties agreed that il was impossible to ex-
tract more than 112 or 2 per cent. of nutri-
ment by boiling meat. He said in this con-
nection that the beef-extract business done
by his company was inconsiderable.
Witness said his firm had sold many mil
lion pounds Of canned roast beef 10 the
British government, by whom IL was used
in india, Egypt and South Africa. No COM
plants had been received. France had
used the beef as a regular army ration for
years under a three-year guarantee. The
Armour company had been underbid in re-
cent years by a French-Madagascar COM
pany, whose products came into France
free of duty. Japan and Germany also
used the canned meats with good results.
A certified copy Of a letter from Lord
Wolseley. of the British army. was pre-
sented to the court, in which he spoke in
very favorable terms of "tinned meats and
vegetables" for practical use In tropic cam
paigning.
Regarding contracts with the government.
witness said the governments order for
canned roast beef came to his company un-
solicited, that they had made no effort to
get ii.
General Superintendent Wilde, of Swift
& Co., was then called. His testimony COW
cred practically the same ground, except
that his company did no canning.
The testimony of Edward Tilden. treas
urer Of Libby. Mcneil & Libby. OF Chicago,
meat packers. agreed substantially with
that of Armour's representative. He said
that from his company the government
sometimes got different grades of canned
meat in filling orders, but the purchasing
officers always knew what quality they
were buying.
