education, he started life as a merchant
and farmer. and when he was forty
four years old he had held no position
except that Of justice Of the peace in his
home town. which was eight miles from
a railroad.
When he took his seat in the House Of
Representatives on December 3. 1850. he
commenced the longest continuous service
on record in the annals Of Congress. In
1866 he was transferred 10 the Senate,
having won national fame as a states
man.
His sixth election 70 the Senate in
october. 1896. at the age OF eighty-six
years. was an event without a precedent.
He died December %. 1885. A son. James
s NORTH. now resides with an aunt, Miss
Louise Swan. at the family home.

the completion OF the Washington monu-
ment after more than quarter OF a cen
fury OF neglect. in the erection Of the
great building in which is housed the
state. War. and Navy departments: in
the practical reconstruction OF the Capitol
by system Of marble terracing. which
has restored the west front 10 something
like artistic proportions; IN having the
old han OF the House OF Representatives
set apart as stltuary hail, and above and
beyond ell these was his contribution IN
the erection Of the great building for the
Library OF Congress.
In 1870 Senator Morrill, went to work to
obtain a new home for the Library OF

OFFICER HERE FROM CALlFOR- MA WITH ACQUISITION, BUT
 MUST WAIT FOR MAN.
Habeas Corpus That Was to Have Been Heard Yesterday Morning Deferred Until Next
 Wednesday.

Detective Redmans of San Fran cisco, Cal. did not arrive yesterday morning before the hour set for a Ibabeas corpus hearing for C. A. Con lin, alias II. s. Daniels. therefore he must wait now almost a week before securing his man.
 Redmans came with a warrant which charges Conlin with grand lar ceny in San Francisco in connection with some Wells-Fargo certificates. He went to Little Rock first and received reqmsltiou from Governor Donaghey for his man.
 When the hour arrived yesterday morning for the hearing of the habeas corpus writ in chancery court attor- neys for Conlin asked that the ease be dismissed and he be given liberty, as no proof had been shown that he was guilty of any charge anywhere.
 Attorney stallcup represented Sher- in Houpt and the city in the case, and asked the court to postpone the hear ing until afternoon, when Detective Redmans would be here with his war rant and reQuisition.
 The court was about to grant this postponement when counsel for Conlin spoke of other important legal cases which needed their attention in the afternoon, so they asked that the case, if postponed at all, be put off until Wednesday, when they could be pres eut and represent their client
 The court conceded this point and set the case for Wednesday,. Red mans arrived in the afternoon with his acquisition, but must now wait
 Conln has made one attempt at jail delivery and special precaution is being taken that he does not get away. Under suggestion from coun- sel for Conlin this court issued a strict injunction to the sheriff not to permit any person 10 have Conlin, fearing evidently that the officer with the requisition might secure him.
