THE DAY’S RAILWAY NEWS. Freight Business Improving? litre Stock Beginning to 3love Briskly, Spotters Pushing Their Work on the C., St, L. & P.—Personals and Matters of General luterest. Personal Points* Paymaster Crawford, of the Vandalia, on Saturday last paid on the Indianapolis division for March service. Tho late General Manager Gault, of the Wabash system, retires from tho service of the compaLy entirely June 1. Within the last teu days flfty-one passenger conductors have been discharged on the roads owned or leased by the Pennsylvania company. There is no ground for the report that John F. Miller proposed to resign, rather than give up his conductors—a rumor which originated in Logan spore. Tho latest report is that “Jack” Hardesty.who now nas charge of the J.. M. & I. yards at Columbus, Iml., will succeed Mr. Streight, yardinaster at this point. An offielul of the Chicago, Bt. Louis & Pittsburg road reports that Crockett, Kiug, Lupton and Larges are the only old conductors left ou the first division. Hereafter all communications addressed to Truffle Manager Bchraeder should be sent, to Terre Haute, and it is intimated that the other general officers will move their headquarters to that point May 1. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road is evidently still in the hands of Boston capitalists, who at their annual meeting last week elected William B. Strong, president, Boston; A. E Touzulin, vice-president, Boston; C. C. Wheeler, general manager, Topeka, Kan ; Edward Wilder, secretary and treasurer, Topeka, Kan.; George L. Goodwin, assistant, secretary and assistant treasurer, Boston; S. Lothrop T lorndyke, comptroller, Boston; John P. Whitehead, general anditor/Boston; J. F. Goddard, traffic m imager, Topeka, Kan ; H. C. Clements, auditor, Topeka. Local Notes. Tho Chicago, Sr. Louis & Pittsburg company lias adopted the Burner system of car records, dating from April 20. 1 The Bkinner Silent Line Is loading a lot of cars atone of tho city elevators, and agents of the legitimate freight lines arc considerably torn up over the matter. Last November the Journal mentioned the fact that “spotters’* were working on the P., C. A Bt. L., and they have been on some division of the road since tit at time. The. Baltimore & Ohio and the Indiana, Bloomington & Western roads arc landing freights in Indianapolis, forwarded from Baltimore, in three dnj's’ time from shipment. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago delivered at Cincinnati, last week, off of the main line, 810 loaded cars, and forwarded from that point 1,102 loaded cars. Charles Green leaf, of this city, on Saturday last received Hn order from 11. Hinckley, of Boston, president of the Mexican Central road, for three fifty-five feet wrought iron turntables. Last week 638 car* were handled on the Rushvllle, Greensburg A Vernon division of the C., 1., St. L. AC. Os this number, 435 were loaded oars. Tne business of this division is steadily Improving Tlie C., Bt. L. A P. people now propose to place a check upon their conductors by stationing tisket-receivcrs at all terminal points, and conductors will be required to go immediately from their trains ro make reports and turn over their tickets and cash receipts. Master Mechanic Prescott, of tho Vandnlia road, last week turned out of the simps at Terre Hmne a flue passenger engine by rebuilding No. 169. whion a couple of years ago tumblec off a trestle, and was so badly broken ns to be deemed a fit subject only for the scrap simp. The Chicago, Br. L ulls & Pittsburg has made a strike for some of the live, srock traffic out of Chicago. Tin* first train out was la-’ week, and the run was in ole from Chicago to P, sburg in twenty-nine hours and thirty minutes. This is considered the fastest time ever made between the points above named. Tlie five Western lines last week brought into this station but 3,231 loaded cars, as follows; Indiana, Blooming'mi & Western, St. Louis division. 14-1; Peoria division. 428: Cincinnati, Inanatiolis, St. Louis A Chicago, 535; Indianapolis A Sr. Louis, 1.016; Vandalia, 1,111. This i-* the lightest inbound movement in any week for some months past. E A. Sen ruder, traffic manager of the Illinois Midland road, states that, the road is earning quite a handsome sum above operating expenses, and this money is being invested in improvements to the roadbed mid equipments. Sever si hundred steel rails are to be laid tills season, and the entire rolling stock of the road generally repaired. General Master Mechanic TurrefT. of the Reo Line system, states that two of :ho ten-wlieel engines which are to be built at, the Mat-toon Bhops are on flic stocks. Last year it. cost #IO,OOO to build rids pattern of engines. Tins year he proposes to cut the cost down to *9,500, and build just a* good a locomotive. This same pattern of engines will not be furnished by locomotive works at less than sl2 000. An engine was sent to Logunsport on Saturday last for the use of the track-layers ou the extension of the Vandalia north from tiiir. point. President McKern expects to have regular trains running bet ween Loganspnrt and Lake Maxinkuckee by* July 1. The extension of the road to South Bend ia si ill unsenied. At Soul li B* ml the people are asking prices that will make the cost of getting into that city nearly SIOO,OOO Unless better figures man these can be made, the road mm imt be built through to that city for two or three seasons at least. The Mew passenger engine* No. 71 nnd 72 on the Cincinnati, Indianapolis,ft*. L mi* A Chicago road are now hi service hauling the express trains between Cincinnati and Indianapolis, and are making an excellent record. No 72 on Saturday hauled eight coaches twenty-threw miles m twenty-eight minute* with perfect ease. These, engines, empty, weigh 80,000 pounds Tipdrivers are five feet nine inches in diameter; nir brakes act on tlie drivers. The boiler is fifty - four inches in diameter; there are 182 Mip s and they make steam with remarkable readiness. One of the spotters, or railway detectives, as he desired to be railed, in conversation at the Grand Hotel on Frulav evening last, remarked that the Journal had charged that they never worked on a road that they did not bring charges against most of tlie conductors. This, ho said whs, untrue; Hiar w-irhin the last year some of their detectiveTorce had worked on two Indianapolis roads. On one no conductor Was found or reported to be making false reports; on the Jtlier bur. one of twelve conductors was detected In dishonesty; another made a wrong entry in his cash receipt statement, lint turued in the full amount of money he collected.

General New*. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy people linre rented u new in a Methodist church at Des Moines, fur the use of employes when In that City over Sunday. The negotiations betwoen the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk roads for a friendly division of territory in the western part of the Dominion have fallen through. The lease or t in* N. Y., P. & O. to the Erie will practically take effect May 1. It is thought the 'iffleea wall be removed from Cleveland to New fork, and that a uuiuuer of heads will bu cut iff. General Manager Felton, of the New York & New England road, evidently has good backing. Flisdirectors have instructed him to purchase 1‘2,000 tons of steel rails, 15 new locomotives. ‘2O passenger cars, 5 express cars, 100 freight and 300 coal cars and 20 cabooses. The time is ratddlv approaching for the opening of the National Exposition of Railway Appliances, to be held in Chicago from Mav .24 till June ‘23. Almost a year ago the feasintlitv of organizing such an enterprise began to he discussed by prominent men deepl.vinteresied in the groVrth find prosperity of the railroad interest, anil fortunately tiie right class of men took hold of tnn enterprise. A grand success is already assured. George H. Daniels, commissioner of the Colorado Pool Association, has issued the following cinmlar to general baggage agents: Notice is liereby given that in accordance with the resolution adopted bv the National atm Western Associations of General Passenger and Ticket Agents, Jhe above Hites, from and after May 1, 18S3, w 11 check no single piece of baggage weighing in excess of 250 pounds, between the Missouri fiver and Colorado points. The New York Graphic of the 18th publishes a innp of Southern roads, showing up very distinctly the East Tennesse, Virginia A Georgia tvsteiu and its Southern connections A glance at the map reveals a system in the South under !>no management of formidable proportions. Dio East Tennessee. Virginia A Georgia read, operated iu connection with the Shenandoah

Valley and Norfolk & Western roads, affords the most, direct, route between New York and New Orleans (1,463 tulle*) and Memphis und Norfolk (960 miles). The route is direct, also from Cincinnati to the Georgia seaboard at Brunswick, and to New Orleans. The Wood River branch of the Oregon Short Line was opened, last week, for business to Siding, twenty-two miles north of Shoshone, and within thirty-three miles of Hailey. Stages will now connect with tlie railroad at Siding, though rates remain unchanged. Tho fast-freight lines operating over Vanderbilt’s system of roads have commenced running over tne Utica A Black River railroad to tlie Sr. Lawrence, where they are ferried across tho river to Brookville, where they strike til* Cana dian Pacific road, and run iheuoe to Montreal. The bu*iueßS of the Red, White and B lie, the Canadian Southern and Merchants’ Dispatch will doubtless he immense, and must seriously cut in on the business of the Grand Trunk Line. SIMPLIFYING THE METHOD OF DOING BUSINESS. In railway operations the tendency to dispense with middle meu and all unnecessary red tape is growing. Through bills or lading from far Western points to ports ou the other side of the Atlantic are now very common, and there are instances of the purchase by cable direct from producers of particular kinds of wheat, which tlie buyer is sure to get, unniixed with other kinds. While the granger element of the country is looking with suspicion upon the great consolidation schemes, every move made in tins direction thus far has tended toward lower rates, through cutting down operating expenses and simplifying tin- met lied of doing business, one way-bill now often covering as many roads as ten years ago a half-dozen way-bills would. A GOOD JOKE AT THE EXPENSE OF TIIB SUPERINTENDENT OF AN INDIANAPOLIS HOAD. The Baltimore American, in a column article, comments enthusiastically on the recent trip of a number of the leading business men of that city over the Baltimore A Ohio and the ludiana, Bloomington A Western system of roads. The superintendent of the 1., B. A W. accompanied the party a part of tlie way, and not only won for liituself a good reputation as a railroad oiau, burns a gamester. Borne of tlie younger members of tlie party, restrained by weightier influences, had keptback from tlie seductive game of draw, until they reached Columbus on their return home. Before parting, the superintendent of the L, B. A W. joined them in a little game. The superintendent having bur one arm, says the American, it was a little difficult for him to handle his cards, and more so for him to deal. Ou the first call, however, ho turned up a royal flush, and scooped In the pot. Then lie contented himself with four little teus, and again scooped in the pot. Well, he kept ou tiiis way until tlie time he lmd to say good-bye, but had all tlie cash tin the table, which at this poiur was doubtless a small sum. As he started to leave, one of tlie Bultimm-iane, who is prominent and successful in average deals, said: “Mr. Superintendent, how did you uso to pluy when you had two hands?” “My dear friend,’* tie answered, “I don’t wish to boast, but [ think I could tie. fny legs behind my back, and let one of vou hold tills arm, and clean our. mis crowd playing with my teetb,” und he smilingly doparied. FREIGHT BUSINESS. An increa*b in the number of loaded cars handled at this point last week, is rather a surprise, yet tho truiu records show this to be the case. However, no Improvement is shown in the eastbouud movement, there really being a slight decrease. Probably the reduction in grain rates may oaure an improvement the coming week, or at least freight men predict that it will, but it will hardly be very marked. Ou west-bound traffic is where the increase is mostly shown, the handsome increase on the Bee Line, the I. A. Bt. L., the P , C. A St. L. and Vandalia, being almost entirely on west-bound tonnage, and the sharp spurt in this direction is rattier a surprise und not expected to be of long duration. The north and south roads are moving daily about us many loaded cars as they have averaged per day for some week* past, yet business 19 hardly up to the usual standard at this season of the year. Local business continues heavy both in and out-bound, and us vet there are no indications t hat, it is to fail off for some weeks to come. Live stock both in 1 jcal and through shipments has begun to improve liamisoniely, and promises to be heavier over Indianapolis Hues the coming season than in any former year. Below is given the number of oars received and forwarded at. this point in the ween ending April 21, at 12 m , as eompared with|the movement of the preceding week: Name of Road. Apr. 14 Apr.2l Inc.

The Pascliul Feast. The great Jewish feast of the Passover, “Ereo Pesacb,” was ushered into every orthodox Israelitisli home on Saturday night, by the eating of unlcavcued bread, which, to tlie Gentile, is its bestknown manifestation. The history of the feast is known to every Bible student, or reader. The reformed Jews differ iu their celebratiou of it from the orthodox in several particulars. The latter extend the observance of the occasion over eight days, the former only seven; the former, us a duty, keep only one day with maizes—unleavened bread—the latter use nothing else duriug the entire eight days, and spend Saturday as strict vegetarians. But all agree In the form and style of ttie opening meal—supper of the first day. Iu every house, Saturday, a representation of the paschal feast was spread, Its obligatory dishes being bitter herbs, unleavened bread, a roast with the bone attached, a type of the lamb, and four cups of wine for every member of the family over ten years of age. It is very seldom that the eve of the Pash coincides with the Batdat)i, as it did this year, or comes so late In the season; and many beautiful ceremonies and prayers, indicative of the tribal hope of future redemption, accompanied the paschal meal. Congregational services were held m the synagogue on Saturday nigtit and yesterday, and will be continued daily duriug tuc week. The Royal Raker and Pastry Cook. A Royal addition to the kitchen library. It contain* over seven hundred receipts pertaining to every branch of the culinary department, including baking, roasting, preserving, soups, cakes, jellies, pastry, ana all kinds of sweetmeats, including receipts for the most delicious candies, cordials, beverages, and all other necessary knowledge for the chef de cuisine of tiie most exacting epicure, as well as for the more mo-’csl housewife who desires to prepare for her lord and master a repast that shall be both wholesome and economical. Wirn each receipt is given full and explicit directions for putting together, manipulating, shaping, baking, and km 1 of utensil to be. used, so that a novice can go through the operation with pticces; while, a special and important feature is made of the mode of preparing all kinds of food and delicacies for tiie sick. The book lias been prepared under the direction of Professor Rudmaiii, late chef of the New York Cooking School, and is the most valuable of the recent editions upon the subject ol cookery that has come to our notice. Ills gotten up in the highest sty leof the printer’s art, | on tinted paper, with elaborately illuminated covers, cie. Wo are assured that every can of the “Royal B iking Powder” contains an order for ouo of these valuable books. Soliciting for the Encampment.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, APRIL 23, ISB3.

A RECEIVER APPOINTED For tho Argentine Insurance Company, of this City aud Denver. Supposed Heavy Liabilities, for Which Prominent Business Men are Responsible—What a Stockholder Says, In tho month of May, 1880, tlie Argentine Insurance Company was organized, with its principal office in this city, the charter being issued to Jeremiah McLene, of Denver, and W. O. Grubbs and E. 8. Field, of this city. Mr. McLene was the president, Mr. Field the vicepresident, aud Mr. Grubbs the secretary. The company at once began operations, its plan being very similar to that pursued by all tire insurance companies, and for a lime the prospects of the new organization seemed as flattering as were either promised or hoped for. Several gentlemen of wealth in Indianapolis were persuaded to become stockholders, 20 per cent, of their subscriptions being paid in cash, but there being no dividends, one of the men most heavily interested proceeded to have tho affairs of tho company placed in tho hands of a receiver, and Mr. George W. Stubbs, a well-known attorney, was appointed by the Court, and is now acting in that capacity. Tho three business men and one attorney of this oity, who were induced to become interested in the enterprise, think they will be compelled to stand good for the liabilities of the company, which are represented to bo heavy, although the amount is not to bo ascertained specifically as yet. One of tho stockholders was interviewed by a Journal representative yesterday, who gave tho history of the inception and development of the enterprise. Mr. Grubbs was the real organizer aud manager of the company, and according to the statement of this stockholder ho represented that tho company could not fall to mako money: that it was already doing a phenomenal business, and that the profits would certainly be large. Upon the representations of Mr. Grubbs this gentleman took $6,000 in stock, paying in *1,200 in cash, and he claims to be the first stockholder that paid any cash Into tho concern. l'ho four Indianapolis stockholders for whom thi* gentleman spoke, took SIOO,OOO in stock, and they will be responsible for about $50,000, he thinks, iu addition to what they have already pawl. The original incorporators were credited with $157,900 in stock, but the only cash capital paid in came from the assessments upon theee four men. This stockholder, who desires his name withheld, claims to have been misled, and mentions among other thing the representation that the company hail a reserve fund of $15,000, when, as a matter of fact, it had not a dollar, as was shown by subsequent investigation. “Was there anything very wrong about the system of issuing policies?’’ asked the Journal. “I think not. The policies seeui ro have been regularly issued, and I have heard of no questionable trauraCUons iu that line; but whenever it became necessary to meet the liability on some risk, MoGlene would go to bank in Denver, and draw ou Grubbs, arter having previously notified him. Grubbs would then draw on MeClene, iu this city, for tho same amount, aud in this way they would gain time for getting in the money necessary to meet demands. The business was run in this way, while new risks were being taken, and, of course, the liabilities becoming greater made it rather alarming to the stockholders, wno were responsible for the business without knowing anything of its management. An investigation was instituted, and when the real condition of affairs became apparent we at once asked for the appointment of a receiver.” “What is the amount of your liabilities?” “Something near $50,000, I suppose. We have instructed the agents to take no more risks, and polioies are being canceled us rapidly as possible. Where holaers insist on holding tlieir policies wo reinsure them in some other company. It. will probably require at least three years to entirely settle the business.” Considerable further talk was had, but tlie points of it all are given iu what goes before. An effort was made to see Mr. Grubb*, nut no one except a boy was In his office, who confirmed the statement that tlie company had ceased to do business. Whatever may be tlie facts as to tlie question of misrepresentation made to the stockholders, who now see a large liability staring them iu the face, it is certain that the Argentine is iu the hands or a receiver, and it is also certain that the publio will not be the loser by the unexpected and unpleasant turn in the fortunes of tho company. Tlie last official statement Hied, with the auditor of State Jan. 9 of tin* year, gave the assets of the company at $296,130.31, and tne liabilities $25,482 62.

THE COURT RECORD. Supreme Court—April 21. Hon. William A. Woods, Chief Justice. IX)AN BROKER’S COMMISSION. 8,36(5. Merrick E. Vinton vs. Elias J. Baldwin. Montgomery C. C. Elliott, J.—Appellee employed appellant to negotiate a loan for him, agreeing to pay him a commission of 5 per cent, on the amount of money obtained. Appellant procured the loan, itiit appellee refused to accept tiie money, and this suit was brought by appellant for his commission. Appellant was entitled ro his commission when lie round a lender ready, willing and able > lend the money upon the terms proposed, ami the appellee could not deprive him of ids commission by refusing to accept the loan. (33 L. TANARUS., 584.) The principle is trie same as that which applies to a real estate broker, who is entitled to his commission when he has found a purchaser on the terms proposed, and does not depend upon the. ultimate consummation of tiie sale. (49 Tnd., 275; 53 id., 294; 7' in., 596; 56 N. Y., 238 ) A real estate or loan broker may recover commissions, although he acts for both parties, if it appear Unit he acted openly and fairly, and that, all the facts were known to both principals. (57 Ind , 466; 106 L. J„ 487; 53 N. Y., 621.) Judgment reversed. MORTG AGE—SUBROGATION —VALUE Os PROPERTY. 10.421. Edinburg, etc., Mortgage Company vs. Arthur Latham. Sullivan C. C. Woods, C. J.-Appellee held a mortgage on 120 acres of hind wliicu was junior to certain judgment liens, and appellant, in ignorance of appellee’s mortgage, though it was duly recorded. took a mortgage on this land and eighty acres of other land, to secure a loan which was used in paying off the prior judgment liens. In an action by appellee to foreclose his mortgage, appellant asked to be subrogated to the rights ot tnejudgment lienholders, alleging the insolvency of the mortgagor. Held: Appellant was not entitled to such relief, because there is no showing as to the \ nine of the eighty acres upou which its mortgage was the sole incumbrance, while appellee’s prior lien on the I*2o acres was for less than SBOO. (77 Ind., 241; 82 id., 109.) Judgment affirmed. CHANGE OF VBNUK—PAYMENT OF COSTB. 10.492. L., N. A. AC. Railway Company vs. John C. Grubb. Washington C. C. Best, C.—Section 413. It. 8., 1881, provides that where a change of venue from the county has been ordered, unless the costs arc all paid within the time limited the party shall not be entitled to such ohamre. A failure to pay the costs forfeits the right to the change. * And where the party iu whose favor the change was granted requested the clerk to make out the proper transcript and inform him of the amount of the costs when he would pay them, but the clerk failed to so inform him until after the time fixed for tlieir payment had elapsed, when the party then paid such costs, this was not a payment within the time granted and the right to a change of venue was lost. Judgment affirmed. MARRIED WOMEN —SEPARATE EARNINGS. 10,208. James F. Boots, administrator, vs. Ephraim Griffith, administrator. Montgomery Ilowk, J.—ln a suit by a widow against her husband’s estate for money loaned by iter to her husband in bis lifetime, the court instructed the jury that any money saved by the wife belonged to her husband, unless there was an express contract between them that the money should be hers. This was the rule at common jaw. but it was superseded by.the act of March 25, 1879. (Revised Statutes 1881, sec. 5,130.) The instruction was both erroueom and not applicable to the evidence. Judgment reversed. TAX TITLE —PERSONAL PROPERTY. 9,910. John Schrodt vs. Thomas T. Deputy. Gibson C. C. Btcknell, c.—Appellant claimed to be the owner of land purchased at tax sab*. Appellee answered, among other tilings, that lie had personal property in tiie county of the value of SI,OOO, during the years when the taxes accrued, upon which the taxes could have been levied, but none was demanded of him, etc. It is settled that where the owner of land has personal property in the county of

which the tnxs can lie made, a sale of the ’.and is illegal. (77 lud., 280; 64 id,, 280.) Judgment affirmed. JUDICIAL ACTION —PRESUMPTION. 9,896. Sargent W. Evans *s. Henry Schaffer. Clark C. C. Black, C.—Where tho sufficiency of a complaint for possession by a landlord depended upon whether a certain word therein was “before” or “after,” and the clerk certified in the transcript or the case that lie was unublo to determine which word was intended, this court will presume in favor of the uctioii of the court below, which, by holdiug the complaint good, must have found that the word used was "before.” Judgment affirmed. PRACTICE—SUBMISSION —SPECIAL JUDGE. 10,034. John B. Mattingly vs. John J. Paul. Tipton C. C. Morris, C.—Where, after hearing the evidence offered at the trial, the court took the case uoder advisement and afterwards, without solicitation from either party, set the submission aside, such action, though irregular, is not a cause tor reversal. Where an attorney was appointed as special judge to near a cause aud afterward the judge appointed auohter attorney as judge pro tem.. before whom the parties appeared and went to trial without objection, they must be held to have waived the right to have thatrenee tried by the attorney appointed and agreed upon for that purpose. Judgment affirmed. APPEALS —OMISSION OF PARTY. 8,832. Jacob Hunderlock vs. the Dundee Mortgage, etc., Cos. Delaware C. C. Nibiack, J.—Snyder and wife executed a mortgage ou certain land, which, by assignment, passed to tlie appellant, and afterward they executed allot her mortgage on the same land to appellee. In an action to foreclose these mortgages the court found tiic appellee entitled to the prior lieu; a personal Judgment was rendered against Snyder for the amount due on appellant’s mortgage, who was also giveu a decree of foreclosure, the property to be sold subject to tlie lieu of appellee’* mortgage. Appellant, who was the piam--1 iff below, appeab-d to thi* court without making Snyder and wife in any way partb‘B to tlie appeal and tor tlie omission tlie appellee moves to dismiss the appeal. Tho question is one of first impression. It is an do., entary principle in appellate proceedings that all the parries affected by the Judgment must be included in tho appeal in order to confer complete jurisdiction upon the appellate court. (Bu*k. Prac. 50, 121.) Otherwise there might be two or more appeals from the same judgment requiring the appellate court to review the same proceedings more thau once. Appeal dismissed. CORONERS—POWER TO EMPLOY PHYSICIANS. 10,473. Commissioners of Dcuruorn County vs. Richard Bond. Dearborn C. C. Best, C.—The statute makes it the duty of the coroner to make all inquests, and he is authorized to require apliysiHau or surgeon to attend aud make a post mortem examination, and for such sevices, upon the certificate of the coroner, it is the duty of tlie commissioners to pay the claim out of the county treasury. (K. S., 1881, sec. 5,878; 46 Ind ,54i; 64 id., 524 ) Tne duty thus imposed necessanl. confers upon the coroner authority to make hiowu selection, and in this respect he cannot bo superseded by the county board npon whom no such duty rests. And tho fact that the commissioners had employed another physician to render such service* will not exempt the county from liability for the services rendered by tho physician selected by tho coroner. Judgment affirmed. 9,878. State ex rel. McClomrook vs. Gregory. Warren C, C. Reversed. Bickuell, U.

How She Raised Cain in tlie Milwaukee Police Court. Milwaukee Special. An extraordinary scene was enacted between Kate Kane, a lawyer, and Judge Mallory. during the afternoon session of the Municipal Court to-day. In the course of the morning’s proceedings the case of one Niederman, charged with burglary, come up, and, after the usual questioning concerning the ability of the prisoner to hire his own counsel, Judge Mallory assigned the defense to Thomas Somers, notwithstanding the mention by the district attorney of the fact that Kate Kane was entitled to the case, as she had been in consultation with Niederman. The matter rested here until about 3 p*clock in the afternoon, when Kate entered the court-room and tookaseat by the side of clerk Meiswinkel, and directly below and in front of Judge Mallory. She inclined her head as if about to speak to the clerk, but in reality to observe the exact position of the Judge. Finding him with his eyes fixed upon the jury and tiierefore away from her, she quickly sprang to her feet and grasped at the inkstand resting on the bar a little to the right of Ilis Honor. This proved too heavy and smooth for dextrous handling, so she let go of it and seized a glass filled with water near by. This Kate held poised in her hand until the Judge looked around, when, with a rapid, vicious jerk, she threw the water squarely in his face, with a “Take that, you dirty dog.” Judge Mallory, fairly sputtering with rage and the involuntary bath, ordered Kate to be arrested, nnd she

was promptly seized by Deputy Sheriffs Meyer and Armor, inarched to the prisoner’s dock, and fined SSO and costs for contempt. Then Kate broke out in a perfect torrent of abuse, calling the Judge names, telling him that she would rather go to jail than pay her fine; that the county jail was a far more respectable place than the Municipal court-room with His Honor in it; that his recent re-election was accomplished through bribery and fraud, and much else, to all of which Judge Mallory simply replied with the stern order to the officers: “Take that creature out of this court.” “You have insulted me, von dirty dog!” screamed Kate, as she struggled to free herself from the grasp of Deputy Sheriff Meyer and Detective Streubig. “Unhand me, sir,” was her order to Meyer when he seized her wrist to hurry her exit beyond the portals. She fought and struggled all the way down into the clerk’s office below, nnd when there asked it she wished to pay the fine, she replied venomously: “No, i will rot in jail first.” Deputy Mever escorted her to the lock-up, and she soon found herself an occupant of the quarters assigned to females. Kate immediately sent for J. J. Orton, United States District Attorney Hazelton, and Colonel Goodwin, who responded, and, after consultation, applied to Court Commissioner Ryan for a writ of habeas corpus. This was issued and served upon Sheriff Bentley. who reserved the privilege of the law to refrain from making a formal return until to-morrow morning. While this was going on Kate walked restlessly in her prison cell, with her hat and shawl on, expecting every moment to be called before the court commissioner, but when she heard the edict of the sheriff* she sadly and with great reluctance doffed her trappings and settled down for a night in the hostile, where, according to the statute, unless the fine is paid, she will be compelled to remain thirty days. It is remarked as a curious fact that the trio engaged as Kate’s attorneys seem at a loss how to proceed with tlie habeas corpus business under the peculiar circumstances surrounding this case.

Editors .*■— Tho above is a good likeness of Mrs. Lydia E. rinkham, of Lynn, Mass., who above all other human beings may be truthfully called tho ‘‘Dear Friend of Woman,” as some of her correspondents love to call her. She Is zealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome of a life-study, and Is obliged to koop six lady assistants, to help her answer the largo correspondence winch daily pours iu upon her, each bearing its special burden of suffering, or joy at release from it. Her Vegetable Compound Is a medicine for good and not evil purposes. I have personally investigated it und am satisfied of tho trutli of this. On account of its proven merits. It Is recommended and proscribed by tlie best physiefifhs in tho count ry. Ono says: “It works like a charm and saves much pain. It will euro entirely the worst form cf falling of the uterus, Leucorrhcea, irregular and painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Trouble**, Inflammation and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the consequent spinal weakness, aud is especially adapted to tho Change of Life.” It permeates every portion of the system, and gives new iifo and vigor. It removes fa itness, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weakness of tho stomach. It cures Bloating, ITcadachfcS, Nervous Frostrniion, General Debility, aiceplcssnoss, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always permanent ly cured by its use. It will at all 1 imes. and under all circumstances, act in harmony with the law that governs the female system. It costs only sl. per bottle or six for $5., and is sold by druggists. Any advice required as lo special cases, and the names of many who have been restored to perfect health by the use of tho Vegetable Compound, can bo obtained by addressing Mrs. F., with stamp for reply, at her home in Lynn, Mmb. For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound is Unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show. “Mrs. Pinkham’s Liver Pills,” eays one writer, “are the best in the tcorld tor tho cure of Constipation, Biliousness and Torpidity of tho liver. Her Blood Purifier works wonders in Its special line and bids fair to equal tho Compound in its popularity. AH must respect her ns an Angel of Mercy whoso solo ambition is to do good to others, Philadelphia, Pa. (?) Mrs. A. M. D.
