AT LAST.

A Case of Small Pox Developed and Removed to the Pest House.

Louis Fau*t, an eighteen-year-old brother of Adelbert Faust, who is connected with the grocery of F. Faust & Co., at the junction of Seventh and Lafayette streets, was on Sunday taken down with a pain in his back and stomach. He was attended by his brother Adelbert, and his condition not improving, on Thursday a physician was summoned, who pronounced the disease small pox» and as such reported to the board of health on Friday morning. Last night the joung man was removed to the pest house, accompanied by his brother. The later haa been vaccinated, but the young man has never been, and it will likely prove hard with him. It is not known from whom he caught the disease.

After the nature of the disease was made known, the brothers were completely isolated from the rest of the occupants, who have no communication with them. After the removal last night, the entire building was disinfected and fumigated, thus removing all danger of the disease being communicated to anybody by those of F. Faust's family. The latter complains, and justly, it would seem, of the dilatory action of the Board of Health in neglscting to remove the patient to the pest house after the disease was pronounced. He also fails to see the justice in his being compelled to buy fuel and light for the pest house, and hire an at teudant himself, as he was last night, before the removal was made.

Partner" is '-A simple story of the West." It deals with the every-day life and experience of evety-day men and women. It haa to do with no sensationalism, exaggerated or implied.

favor. The play read well. Isn't it curious that you never can accurately gauge the value of a pla? until it in ac'ed? Well, it was an ntier failure. No play was ever better announced I srent $1,000 in getting up the costumes, and worked like a beaver at numberless rehearsals. But all tbe labor and outlay were in vain. My money loss on the production, aside from the time and labor I gave it, was ove-r $3,000. This convinced me I bad better let 'noveltiea' alone."

Dramatic Timer: Small-pox is causing sad havoc in the profession. Poor Piercy is hardly laid to rest in Boston ground before we bear of the death of Caroline Bichings Bernard, from the same disease, in Richmond, Va. Frum all I can learn she died very poor—hardly able to pay for th« attendance that might have saved ber. My pleasantest recollections of English opera date from the time wben Caroline Bichings had her own company, and wben Castle, Csmpb?ll and the Seguing were in their prime. Never a great singer, Caroline Bichings was an earnest, conscientious and not unattractive artist. What she did, she did well—about ten times as well, by the way, as Miss Emma Abbot can do to-day. Sbe was a good manageress, too, and at one time made a good deal of money. As with many another actress or singer, from the day she married ahe seemed to fade out. Her husband, Bernard, may have been a model gentleman in private life, but he was a wretched singer. lie was a de«d weight on his wife's efforss, and, professionally, they drowned together. Yet, in many respects, Caroline Richinga will remain one of tbe moat important artistic memories of this conutiy,

.vV'vB1 Very Much Mixed. CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—The State Supreme Court yeeterday decided that the law creating the Probate Courts of Cook and Laealle counties was special legislation, and therefore unconstitutional, and that the Probate Courts of those counties are illegal and empty. This decision is more far-reaching in its scope than appears on the surface. The Cook Connty Probate Coart has been in operation tour years. By this decision, 4(1 the wills it has pass ed on are void the property that has come in review before it ia without title, and the Eastern and other capitalists and insurance companies tbat have loaned money on it are utterly without security, the titles being clouded. Divorces obtained there are illegal, and persons married after being divorced are bigamists.

The decision further complicates matters by holding that the County Court has no jurisdiction in chancery cases. This, too, overturns all the chancery business which has been done during the p&st five years in the County Court.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—As only the Lead notes have been read here of the decision of the Supreme Court declaring unconstitutional the Probate Court of this Cook, and Lasalle counties, there is much uncertainty and difference of opinion among lawyers as to its scope. Mr. E. B. McCagg, one of the most prominent and careful lawyers in Chicago says the probate court of Cook" county lias done during its existence a very large business, much of which possibly will have to be done over again. This decision, as it is understood, does not leave Cook and Lasalle counties without probate courts, nor in any way stops the due administration of estates, but sends all such matters back to tbe county courts which have been all the time inexistenee and which had exclusive jurisdiction before probate courts were created, and which jurisdiction they have never lost. The first announcement of the decision created a good deal ot alarm, but though it will cause some trouble it seems unlikely to entail any such grave consequences as were at first apprehended. The same opinion takes away the chancery jurisdiction of the county courts. This may trouble persons who obtained divorces from those courts, but the chancery business transacted by them has not been large, and the tact that the orders and decrees rendered by them are void, in view of the law which protects all persons whose acts are bona fide under an appeal authority of the law, cannot create any grave difficulty. The decision causes universal comment here to-day among lawyeie, and no little excitement on account of the uncertainty involved. A meeting of the Bar Association is called for this afterternoon to discuss the situation, and steps will be at once taken Tor a rehearing. The first will was probated in this court

December 18th, 1881, in all six divorces are said to have been granted by the county court, which will, if the decision is as sweeping as at first announced, be utterly invalidated.

Three thousand three hundred and ten wills have been probated in this court and 'he same number of estates are involved in the deciaioD, including some of the largest in the city, notab.'y the Newbury estate and the Tajiur e»tate. Tbe former has been in litigation for several years, and the case, at best a very complicated one, is involved in fresh di»putes. Ooe remarkable feature of the decision is that the Supreme Court has remanded, reversed and affirmed the decisions of the Probate Court of this county.

422 Main Street,

The Dally Rascal.

DETROIT, Mich., J»nnary 21.—The extensive fish firm of I«bell a Merritt.thia city, has gone into the hands of a receiver. This arises from the fact tbat Merritt, the junior partner, baa been selling the prop, erty of the firm without the knowledge of the senior partner and business manager, and baa disappeared. The extent of hia transfers of property cannot be known, but it haa been to disposed of, Merritt selling to his brother-in-law, a man named 8mith, of Chieago, by whom they were again transferred to a man named Beidla. It is believed that the courts will hold theae sales fraudulent and void. About $70,000 were in* vested in the business, and it was about to be enlarged when this unexpected turn of affairs brought everythipg np standing. Tbe concern would be entirely solveat but for this. A receiver has been appointed until the facta can be folly ascertained.

DETROIT, January 21.—Later developments show the absent half of the fi'h firm of Iabell & Merrill is stopping in Winaor, Ontn a safer place than American soil, until his difficulties can somehow be adj aated.
