CommissiOners Make Their Award OF
Damages to Property Owners.

The street commissioners filed their
award of damages Saturday in the matter
of the proposed extension of Elm street
south. The extension of the street was
stubbornly contested by B. j. Andrews.
+. f. McSweeney and John ONeil. while
Patrick Farrell and Mrs. William Den
ming were also opposed to its being opened.
After considering the matter the COM
missioners have awarded damages Of
$500 to Mr.. Farrell and $1,000 to Mrs.
Denning In that connection the commits
sioners say they have considered the bene-
fit IN connection with the damage to the
respective land owners and the sums
named are the net damages.
With regard to the other contestants
the commissioners say
an the case of B. ]. Andrews, p. e.
McSw eeney and John O'Neil through
whose premises said extension OF Elm
street is laid, we consider and adjudge
that the benefit to the remaining land
owned by them abutting on said extern
sicn is equal to the value Of land of An
drews insolvency and ONeil taken for
the purpose of the street and for that
reason no assessment against them on
account Of laying the extension is made
and no damages allowed
The commissioners further order prop
erty owners TO remove from their rcspec-
tive lands taken in laying the extension,
all buildings, fences. timber and trees
standing upon same within six months.

VITAL ORGANS WERE OLD,
Physicians OF Lincoln Hospital Dis
cover Remarkable Condition in
Young Man.

New York. Jan lS-Encasei within the
body of a man of q years old the doc
tors of the Lincoln hospital in this city
have found the vital organs that belong to
an octogenarian The discovery so far
as known, stands alone. although it bears
some resemblance to the case of the
peasant girl Jeanne Uhl, who aroused in
terest among French anatomists about Il
years ago.
William McGrath was admitted to the
hospital about four weeks ago, suffering
intense pain in the lower part of the
back In the region of the kidneys. He
had lived In or near New York all his
life there being no excess of ozone in
the atmosphere, which he took into his
lungs so there could not be any abnormal
oxidation in his arteries which was said
to have been the cause of premature
ageing of Jeanne Uhl. His ailment was
diagnosed as acute phritis--inf1ammaton
of the kidneys, He received the most skill
fun attention but sank gradually TO
death.
An autopsy was performed in the pres
| encc of three of the hospital stan, The
| kidneys were examined first and the doc :
| tors were amazed to find them shrvclletl
| and contracted just as those of man
| at 70 years. Then the disscctors found an
| enlarged liver that belonged TO an octo-
genarian and not to q boy. and a heart
| grown to a size out Of all proportion
EXhited to a skilled anatomist. with its
| history CONGO aled, 1t would be pro-
| nounced to be the heart of man at
least "a years old, accustomed all his life
| to hard work
| Another and a stranger abnormality in
| the hardening of the arteries was dis
covered. These pipes had lost their dcxi-
| bility, Tho arterial stream had flowed
through them with the slugglishness OF
old age. while the walls had thickened
and become almost brittle.
! Only meagre history of the patient :
| previous condition was obtained when
MrGlath was admitted for treatment
| but, SO far as known. his habits were
cesses; so that without any known cause
he died n worn out man In his Gath year

THE MERCHANTS BANK.
Capital Stock md Surplus to be Re-
Luccd One Half.

The Merchants National Bank of this
city are arranging to reduce their capital
stock in the sum of 500 900, paying for the
Same at the rate of 10 per cent. on the
reduction. Their present capital of 5000
Goa and surplus of s250.0o0 has for several
years been found too large for profitable
employment in this vicinity and the con-
stantly Increasing growth of their deposits
furthermore renders so large a stock capt.
tai unnecessary.
The proposed reduction will leave a re-
manning capital and surplus ample in
every respect for the proper conduct of
the business which is on an entirely sat-
isfactory basis, but, it is believed, can be
made to yield appreciably better results
when the change now under considera-
ton Is accomplished.
This reduction of capital has been duly
approved by the comptroller of the eur
rency and stockholders meeting has
been called for February II, next, to vote
upon the same for which a vote OF two
thirds of all the stock is required.
