Admitted to Supreme Court on Mo-
ton of Another DAUGHTER.

The United States Supreme court the
other day witnessed the unusual spec
tacle of the admission of a woman and
her daughter to the bar upon the mo-
ton OF another daughter. The women
admitted were Mrs. Kate P. Pier and
Miss Il. 81. Pier, of Milwaukee, and the
one moving their admission was Miss
Kate Fl. Pier, ofthe same city. Another
woman member of this family was ad-
mtted few years ago, making four of
the 20 female members of the supreme
court bar members of one family.
Mrs. Kate Pier is the widow of law
yer and the mother of family of law
yers. The late Col. Pier, well-known
in grand army circles throughout the
country, was her husband. Mrs. Pier
studied law with her husband and for
years has practiced at Milwaukee. Her
daughters, Miss Kate Pier, Miss Harriet
Pier, and Mrs. John 81. Roemer, also are
lawyers. Mrs. Pier is a court commits
sioner.' A short time ago her daughter,
Caroline Pier, married John Roemer,
also lawyer, and the marriage cere-
mony was performed by her mother,
who has the power to marry as court
commissioner. 5".-' -. T.. a. = -

QUITS WALL STREET,
Edmund Clarence Dted1nan, the Bank
er-Poet, to Devote Himself to
Literary Pursuits.

Edmund Clarence Stedman, banker
poet, has quit Wall street. He has sold
Ills seat on the stock exchange for
about $4,000, the highest sum ever Of
Tered, less few hundred dollars, and
henceforth will devote himself to his
muse unrestrainedly. He said: eyes,
my seat in the exchange has been post
ed. 1t gives me sort of wrench to
leave, too. You see, I've been in Wall
street 81 years. You know how it is
when soldiers touch elbows and stand
by one another-and one dislikes to go
away and leave the others.
''Some time ago something was
printed about the difficulty of mixing
Wall street and Literature, and it was
intimated that my business friends were
not welcome in the sanctum. Now, that
hurt me. I have lots of good friends in
the business world whom I am always
glad to see, and they know it, and so,
you see, I was chaffed good deal about
that.
But let that pass. My physician said
a year ago I must give up society or
business or literary work; so I gave up
society, of course. Then I was advised
to keep away from the stock exchange.
Now I've done that. I shall go right
on with my work in anthology, and
hope to complete it soon."

Ic'Es,


Say, give me change for q nickel
I want to use the city Director z Isl
the cry that soon will be heard in
every drug store in Chicago If the
plans Of q young inventor are carried
out. The inventor has devised q PEN
ny-in-t he-s1ot machine for directory
owners. 1T consists Of a. boxlike ar
rangement. A penny dropped into the
mechanism opens the book, which re-
mains open as long as the hand is held
on it. The removal Of the hand allows
the box to close.
The plan is for the company con-
trolling the machines to furnish the
directory and to divide the profits
with the owner Of the store in which
the device is placed. There are be-
tween 600 and 700 drug stores IN the
city which have directories, and these,
it is expected, will be the largest pa
irons Of the proposed company. Ho-
tells, railroad ticket offices and cigar
stores also will use the invention, and
the promoters expect to reap a great
harvest Of coppers. One Of the ma
chimes was placed in the Rock Island
city ticket Office, and in few hours
1877 people had patronized it.
The Chicago Directory company,
however, is somewhat skeptical. "A
representative said that the scheme
had been tried extensively in New
York, where it had failed through
lack of patronage. It was doubted if
it could be made to pay in Chicago.

FIND A PREHISTORIC GRAVE,

Tomb of Former Resident

A prehistoric grave, built of stone,
has been unearthed in the Sandusky
valley, in the eastern edge of Bucyrus,
o. Prof. William Miller, of the State
Archaeological and Historical society,
has made an examination of the grave.
and under his supervision excavations
were made. He pronounced the struc-
ture to be a grave of ancient origin,
but the skeletons were not found.
The grave was discovered by work
men engaged in making excavations
for a fence They came upon some
stone of peculiar quality and form,
which proved to be the work of pre-
historic inhabitants of North Amer
lea. The structure is of yellow clay,
eight feet below the surface, in the
south blutf of the Sandusky river.
There appears an east and west wall
without cement, facing to the south.
-Four feet north is another wall of the
same kind parallel to the first. The
width Of the walls is IS inches. Be-
tween the walls were found stone and
dirt filing, which had evidently fallen
in from the top. :
The stone is peculiar. The blocks
are of irregular and fantastic shapes,
similar to waterworn limestone. They
are of much lighter color than ordi-
nary limestone. There is. no stone of
the character in or near the Sandusky
river

Conductor Makes Fast Time II
Winning Chicago Bride.
Four Hours After Arriving In Town
He Is on His Way BACK Home
Love Usurps Place OF
~ Business.

When Andrew Brock arrived in Chi
cago Saturday night from Joplin, Mo-,
he had no intention of getting married.
Although he knew young lady in Chi
cago whom he admired, he was not en-
gagged to her. Having a little personal
business in the city, he obtained days
leave of absence from his job as railroad
conductor to run up to Chicago, intend
ing incidentally to cali on the young
woman. .a
On the way Brock was delayed eight
blocked the track, and consequently he
did not arrive in Chicago until seven
o'clock at night. In order to get back
to his work within the time limit al
lowed him he had just four hours to
stay in town. --. ,,.. H.
Finding that he would be unable to
transact the business that had been the
object of his trip, Brock turned his at
tention to the girl At eight o'clock he
arrived at the home of Miss Anna
Brown, at West Chicago and Ashland
avenues. Here he put in his time to
such excellent advantage that at nine
o'clock the young woman had promised
to be his. In another half hour she had
agreed to an immediate wedding, and
the two repaired to the West Chicago
avenue police station in search of JUS
tice Of the peace. After consulting Desk
Sergt. O'Neil and Sergt. Dan Ryan,
Brock learned that a license was
a necessity. He was furnished with the
address of County Clerk Knopf, and he
and the young woman were whirled
away to get the document. This was
accomplished in half an hour.
One hour now remained before train
time. A justice of the peace consumed
Is minutes in tying the knot, and IS
minutes were spent in saying farewells
and getting to the Union depot. Mr.
and Mrs. Brock caught the train one
minute before it glided out of the sta
ton.
Mr.. Brock will return next summer
to attend to the personal business that
brought him to Chicago.

The Increasing shipments OF freight ar

Freight rates, lake and rail from Seat
tie East-bound and West-bound TO the
Coast are in a shaky condition and an
early Generalization of tariffs would not
surprise local and Eastern railroad men.
The cause OF the precarious condition is
due solely ii Is said, to an effort to form
a combine of the great lake freight car
riers and force rates higher than they
have ever been.
For this purpose a gigantic syndicate.
headed by John d. Rockefeller, was
formed last winter. The company bought
up or leased nearly all the large boats.
This forced the railroad companies to pro-
cure others. The result Is, IL is stated,
that there is greater tonnage from Du-
luth. Milwaukee and other lake points
than ever before, there being third more
vessels. 1t is said, than is necessary TO
transact both the east and west-bound
business that will be offered.

headquarters at Chicago. who is in the
city looking after shipments, yesterday.

Last winter the influence of the great
steel and iron interests in Minnesota and
Michigan was manifest In a new move
ment" he said, Instead of waiting to
let the lake rates adjust themselves by the
law of supply and demand, there was a
fight between the leading interests for
the control of tonnage. The Rockefeller
interests led in the movement, which
gathered in many vessels, including sew
eral large lines by purchase and char
ter. AS a result they were able 10 die
tate the rate on iron ore, which they
placed at s1.25 ton.
1T appears that the transcontinental
lines also added TO their tonnage. Sew
era new boats put in an appearance in
anticipation that the Rockefeller fleet
would be engaged exclusively in the ore
business. But the Rockefeller interests
have piled up a larger tonnage than they
can use in that trade. They overestimat-
ed their product. and at the present time
have on hand several large and expensive
boats for which they have no ore. This
excess Is placed as high as 100000 tons.
