BADLY TANGLED CASE
DECIDED FOR DEFENDANT

One of the most hopelessly tangled
cases recently brought before a jury
was settled this morning when the
jury in the replevin case of Mrs. L. \.
Wright. through her agents. Eastman
& Co, against William Furbos,
brought in a verdict for the defend
ant. The matter was one of ac-
counts and mortgages and the evil
dence taken tended to throw some
light on the methods of collecting
agencies in general.
Another suit against j. w. Wander
slice and Elmer Haines, as bondsmen
of Constable Sutton. of Milan. who
was mixed in the case, is virtually de-
cided i'm the verdict of today. George
w. McCaskrin defended and NJ. T..
Sweeney appeared for Mrs. Wright.
A divorce was granted yesterday
afternoon to Augusta Erickson. of
this city, who averred that her hus-
band. James Erickson, deserted her
over two years ago.

 Alter blade skates, or wooden skater
 shod with iron, were invented tbey
 were introduced into England from th,
 Low Countries, probably just after the 1 restoration of Charles IT.; so the use $ot
 skates as we know them is only littIs
 more than two centuries old They
 were called scrick-s shoes from the Ger
 man.
 MT. Penys, to whose incessant actiy-
 ity and boundless curiosity we owe Sd
 many accounts of the time, did not fail
 to chronicle in his diary the first ap- 1 pearance of skaters in London on De-
 eember 1, 1862 A few days later De-
 cember 15, 1862, he says: "* to the Duke and followed him into the parlSe, where, though the ice was broken and dangerous, yet he wolud 20 ! slide upon his Scates, which I did not | like, but he slides very well.'' Evelyn bears out the statement by making mention of the new amusemnt in his diary, under date December 1. 1882.
 Having seen the strange and wonder ful deXterity of the slides on the new canal in St. James's Park, performed by their Majesties by divers gentlemen and others with Schuts. after the man. ner of the Hollanders, with what swift ness they passe, how suddenly they stop in full carriers upon the ice. T went home by water, but not without exceeding difficultie, the Thames being. frozen, and great flakes of ice incom- passing our boate."
 But skating was evidently regarded as very difficult to learn, and it was long before it became widely prevalent. Half a century later we find Swift writ- ing in his journal to Stella (January 31, 171D; "The canal and Rosamond,s pond full of the rabble sliding and with skates, if you know what those are.
 The Dutch formerly had troops trains ed to manoeuvre on skates. Tn Nor- way they had several organizations of riflemen on skates. They did efficient service in the seventeenth and eight eenth centuries and were called skate runers or Skilobnere.
 For sailing on skates on the ice the Swedish sail is the best and simplest. It is made of white duck, between seven and ten feet in height about ten feet wide at the base, tapering to a narrow top. Light bamboo, or some other light, strong wood, is used for the spars. Of these there are usually three; two long ones, to which the sides of the sail are attached, and a strong mainstay. crossing about the middle from side to side. The expert skater, with a sail to, his back, can have all the excitement and sensations of the ice yachtsman in a modified form; indeed, he oan man. oeuvre himself in smaller space and can make complicated evolutions in less time than the best of the yachtslnen. It takes little time to become used to the sails; one feels like a bird, and as one glides swiftly along, seemingly to have lost all hold on the ice one night be drifting through the air.

One of the largest audiences that has l this season witnessed last night the
 performance of that powerful melodra-

 brated featherweight champion Terry
 McGovern, The play is an interesting
 one and all were pleased with the entire
 production The scenery is all new and
 includes a number of well known scenes
 that can be found in New York city.
 The scenes that are worthy of special mention are Jacks country home, in-
 terior of the Cairo cafe, home of Wan
 da, the underground tunnel and the
 Tombs prison. There are many start ling and realistic effects, and a number of clever specialties are introduced
 The principal feature is the appearance of Terry McGovern, champion feather weight of the world, in a four round exhibition with the champion bantam weight Huehey McGovern They mads their appearance last night after the first act and were given a hearty wei come | must be understood that they will surely appear. al all the perform ances, and no oIies who attends the Grand Opera House this week will be disappointed

 Large audiences will undoubtedly be the rule at the Grand Opera House next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The attraction will be J.

The two principal scenes of the play are laid on the stage and behind the scenes of tho Knickerbocker thea ter and give an excellent idea of the real life of the actor. Other parts give glimpses of his home life and the joy which he reaps from it when he can | throw all the cares of the stage away | rom him and settle down in the bosom i ,f his family.

 We will undoubtedly get a bad bank
 statement on Saturday, but, like that of
 last week, it has already been dis counted and insiders can manipulate this statement to suit their own pur- poses, as the trust companies are the ruling power behind the throne and money can be shifted from the banks to the trust companies or vice versa at all of the irsiders.
 Reactions, of course, are to be ex- pected at any time, but they should not go as low as the low ,olnts oe last Saturday and Monday, and We believe that you can safely add to your line of long stocks on any fractional reactions that occur.
 We especially recommend the pur- chase of Union Pacific, Peoples Gas, Tennessee Coal and Iron, and Copper and for low prices stocks Wheeling and Lake Erie, Erie, Reading, Norfolk and Western, Colorado Southern, Wabash preferred, American Locomotive, Amer ican Ice, Steels, Great Western and Leather common The latter may be a little slow, but in our opinion is sure to sell much higher before the present movement is over. The last snowfall cannot be regarded in any way except beneficial to crop prospects, and ooun- teous crops this year mean much higher prices for standard securities.
