United States District Gonrt. Hon. A. Woods. Judge. To day—Newby vs. Huddleson on trial ' Supreme Court. Hon. W. E. Niblack, Chief-justice. The following decisions were rendered Jan. 26: 12083, Olivia Beard vs. Elisha A. Pruet et al.; Montgomery C. C. Reversed, Niblack, C. J.— Where a wife adva7iced money to her husband to maintain a suit for damages for an assault and battery, she acquired the right to be reimbursed out of bis estate whenever means for that purpose became available, and as the holder by assignment from the husband of the judgmeut obtained, her equities are superior to those of the judgment; defendants seeking to set-off a judgment they held against the husband against the one recovered. 12119. John Smurr vs. The State. Whitley C. C Affirmed. Elliott, J.—Where a judge, having statutory authority to appoint an adjourned term of court, does make an order in time for holding an adjourned term, causes notices of such adjourned term to be given, appearu at the time appointed and opens court, the proceedings at such an adjourned term are not void, although held at a time when another court of the same circuit mightjhave been in sessionjunderjthe statute, and was in seesion, presided over by a special judge; and the failure of an accused to object at the trial is a waiver of all question as to the regnlarity of the proceedings at the adjourned terra. (2.) A brother may lawfully defend his brother when in peril, and if need be take life; but, where both brothers are in fault, and unite in wrongfully bringing on tho rencounter, the rnie does not apply. 11952. John B. Conner vs. Citizens’ Street Railway Company. Marion S. C. Reversed. Mitchell. J.—(l.) Where, upon an issue involving negligence, the principal or ultimate facts are determined by the jury in its special finding, it then becomes the function of the court to deride, as a question of law, upon the facts found, whether or not the party to whom negligence Is imputed was negligent. (2.) Where the facts found in a special finding are that the defendant, a street railway company, had three cars hunched together at a point on its line; that they had lost their proper time; that an officer of the company, on the front car, had directed that it and the succeeding car should be driven rapidly without stopping to receive passengers, and that the rear car should receive passengers; that the two front cars were driven rapidly; that the first car bad passed a point where the plaintiff was standing without slacking speed; that the second ap proaehed the crossing, that being the usual place to receive passengers; that plaintiff cave notice to the driver that he desired to take passage; that there wu no one in the car; that plaintifl was not instructed not to get on the car; that the car was slackened to a walk, as was the custom for passengers to get on; that as plaintiff attempted to get on, the driver struck the mules, whereby plaintiff was thrown to the ground and iojused —they show negligence in the defendant and no contributory fault in plaintiff. yil94. Charles Unrich vs. State ex. rel. Maggfe Baum. Porter C C. Reversed. Zollars, J. —(1.) If an appeal was in fact, taken the failure of the justice to note that fact in his docket is not a sufficient cause for dismissing the appeal in the Circuit Coart. (2.) In a prosecution for MCtardy the defendant has a right to require an

examination of the relatrix and that her testimony be reduced to Writing, but she may waive this right; so where the relatrix did not appear, If he failed to have her brought into coart there is such a waiver. (3.) An instruction founded upon 1 Greenleaf Evidence, Section 200, is error nnder several decisions. (4.) Instructions that it is the doty of the jury to consider, in determining the credibility of witnesses, their interest in the event of the suit and their relationship to the parties, are erroneous. The jury may be instructed as to their right to consider these matters, but to enjoin the dut£ throws a discredit on the testimony. 6770. Mark E. Reeves vs. James B. Howes et al. Wayne C. C. Rehearing denied.

The statistics gathered by the State Board of Health show that, during the last fiscal year, there were 16,627 deaths in Indiana, resulting from different diseases as follows: Zymotic, 4,375; constitutional. 2,973; local, 5,964; developmental, 1,179; accidental, negligence and violence, 776; unknown causes, 336; still-births, 1,017. Os the still births, 601 were males and 423 females. Avery remarkable feature of these statistics is, that of the 1,017 still-births, 916 were of American parentage, and only 64 foreign. Mr. Reichwein’s Missing Money. Philip Reichwein, the saloon-keeper, has been missing five and ten dollar bills from his money drawer. Saturday, a ten dollar silver certificate disappeared, and yesterday, while cleaning out some rubbish in a corner of the bar, he found the money. The silver certificate had been partly tern to furnish material for a mouse’s nest. In the nest were pieces of a flve-dollar bill, and another hill of the same denomination uninjured.

Contagion of Hog Cholera. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I notice in your issue of yesterday a communication from Rnahville, stating that D. L. Thomas, president of the Indiana State Breeders’ Association, had proved to his own satisfaction that swine disease, or, as it is generally known, hog cholera, is not contagious, and, in proof of this statement, it was related that Mr. Thomas had placed a pig in the hands of men engaged in rendering the carcasses of hogs which had died of swine disease. The pig in question, so it was stated, was subjected to the closest contact with the diseased carcasses, and handled and petted by the men engaged in converting the carcasses into lard and fertilizing material; also, that Mr. Thomas had retained the pig in his possession for several weeks after the ordeal above mentioned, and it had grown up a healthy animal In order that farmers who have been great sufferers from swine disease should not be misled into accepting Mr. Thomas’s experiment as a settlement of the question of contagion, permit me to remark that one swallow does not make a summer, nor one soldier an army. It is well knowh to almost every reader of your paper that smallpox is not only an epidemic, but contagious, and yet many persons, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, have attended to the wants and necessities of smallpox patients without contracting the disease. The same may be said of Asiatic cholera, with like results to parties attending on the sick. Regarding contagiousness of swine diseases, it may be said that the highest scientific authorities upon that subject have agreed that it is not only contagious, but highly so, and evidences are not wanting to prove that it travels through sections of the country with almost the rapidity of a prairie fire. The governments of Canada and Great Britain have solved this question in a manner so satisfactory to tbem that they institute strict measures of quarantine on all farms having diseased hogs, even exercising the power of slaughtering the animals to stamp out the disease. If it is not contagious, I would like Mr. Thomas to explain why so many valuable animals exhibited at the late St Louis fair and the fair held at the 'same city in 1884, and taken there in a healthy condition, contracted swine disease, it since being known that other animals exhibited at that fair were taken there while suffering from that disease. It is a well established fact that the germs of swine disease can be carried from one farm to another in the clothing of men who have visited the pens of diseased animals. If it were not that the people of the Western States lose annually from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 through swine disease, the discussion of this subject would probably be out of place; but in view of the great interest affected by swiue disease, it ie important that the single experiment should not be tho basis upon which a judgment should be formed, which, if uosouod, as I believe it to be, would increase largely the still heavy loss already sustained by our farmers every year. J. H. A Ticket Fifty-four Inches Long. Boston Transcript. General Passenger Agent Watson, of the Fitchburg Railroad, yesterday sold to a Buffalo physician an unlimited first-class ticket for $3, 1 140, the highest price ever paid for one ticket, it is said. The paste board was one and one-half yards long and consisted of thirty-five coupons and the contract. It i8 good for a special car by the Hoosac tunnel route* to San Antonio, Texas, and return by way of the Atlantic Coast State Senator G. W. Plunkitt, of New York, was a sufferer for six years from dumb ague and fever. He was completely cured by taking five Brandreth Pills every night for a week. One or two taken every night are perfectly safe for old or young, male or female.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1886.

DEATH OP A FAMOUS QUACK. Dr. Lighthall Dies of Smallpot—How He Galled Vast Numbers of People. Louisville (Commercial. Dr. Lighthall, who died in San Antonia, Tex., on Sunday, was known in Louisville as the P. T. Bamum of patent medicines. Everybody believed that his medicines were no better than scores of other patent stuffs that are on the market. Lighthall made no secret of the fact that he considered the public a pack of fools, and often told his immense audiences, who would gather beneath his tents to hear him lecture, sing and tell funny stories, that they were being humbugged. He seemed to secure confidence by his frankness, and gathered the shekels of tho afflicted and sore-distressed by the bushel. He has been “making” Louisville for several seasons, and always came with four or five tents, which he would pitch in various parts of the city. His main tent was always to be found at Preston and Walnut, where every night a great, surging crowd would visit and spend an entire evening listening to bis harangues. His name was sufficient to fill his other canvas-houses, and when once there the public found as slick and enterprising ‘‘fakirs” as the Doctor himself. His “medicines” were warranted to cure anything from a common every day wart to the worst case of cholera or small pox ever known. Yellow fever stood no show whatever when once his celebrated Indian herb cordials and pills were administered. In fact, his medicines were pronounced absolutely invulnerable. “And yet, you know,” the Doctor would say, “I’m a humbug and so are my pills.” It was astonishing to notice the class of people who patronized Lighthall. Many of the best families in the city would drive to his tent in their carriages and submit to his examinations, pay fabulous prices for his stuff and go home, to return in a few days, either to purchase more or pronounce a blessing upon him for their speedy and radical cure. “It’s only faith,” he observed to a reporter once upon a time, as an old lady dressed in silk approached and thanked him for having wrought a wonderful cure of cancer of the stomach. “She never had any cancer, but some doctor has been making her belive such was the case, in order to get good, fat fees. Why, she’s only been taking my harmless medicine five days. She ought to know that a cancer can’t be removed in that length of time. But ‘where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise,* ” and the doctor turned around and sold six bottles to different parties, realizing a profit of S3O thereby, minus the price of the bottle and the coloring in the water. He laid great stress upon a certain medicine that he told the credulous would produce a rad icai cure for intemperance, and often boasted, in a laughing manner, that he had half the police force running after him constantly for this particular brand. He prided himself also upon pulling teeth, and always warned a sufferer that it was “either tooth or jaw,” He never missed fire, although at times his victims wore in real agony as the Doctor applied his strength on the forceps. His income is said to have been SIOO,000 a year, and from the lavish manner in which he expended money, it is doubtful if this report was greatly exaggerated. At one time he stepped into the First National Bank, of this city, and asked to have quite a large draft cashed. The cashier said he must be identified, and the Doctor drew forth an immense roll of money, and selecting anew tendollar bill, told the cashier to telegraph to the bank in New York upon which the draft was made for identification. The answer was brief and to the point. It read thus: “Lighthall all right Let him have SIOO,OOO on our account if he wants it’’ The Doctor was a connoisseur on diamonds. Thousands of Louisville people will rocollect the magnificent sparks that were placed upon exhibition at Wolfs jewelry store last summer by the great Indian medicine quack. He wore constantly jewelry valued at SIOO,OOO, and would not hesitate to go any place at any hour of the day or night. His watch, made here by George Wolf & Cos., is said to have cost him $5,000, and was the richest piece of jewelry of the kind in the world. He was a man of undoubted courage,and everybody seemed to know it. Last summer, when Sells Brothers’ circus was here, the Doctor was wandering through the crowd when a pickpocket undertook to secure his watch. He nabbed the fellow by the back of the neck, marched him off to a neighboring drug store, rang for the patrolwagon and handed him over to Officer Tom Mahar as the Central patrol-wagon stopped in front of tae store. The Doctor always took Mrs. Lighthall along to watch the dollars as they rolled into a big box. After au evening’s business, which was invariably large, he would gather a crowd of admirers and “take in the town.” Upon one occasion he paid $375 in a Green-street bouse for wine. His liberality seemed to know no bounds, while his generosity to the poor was equally as marked. His greatest fault was a weakness for the gentler sex, and it is said that many young women ot the city became infatuated with his dashing and princely style. He was a man about forty years of age, about six feet in height, well proportioned, wore long black hair, smooth face, and had a swarthy complexion, which indicated that Indian blood conrsed through his veins. He was a native of Illinois, and bad been in the patent medicine business from boyhood.

fts EDISON TO BE MARRIED? He Sails for Florida in a Day or Two, and May Return with a Bride. New York World. Thomas A. Edison, the electrician, recently bought a house at Orange, N. J., from Arnold, Constable & Cos., of this city. “Is it true that Mr. Edison intends to make Llewellyn Park his permanent home?” a World roporter asked his brother William yesterday. “Yes, but he will not come to Orange until his return from Florida, whither he goes from New York on Tuesday or Wednesday. He will stay there until May. His daughter and two sons will accompany him on the trip. He recently bad a house built in Maine, and about a week ago he had the whole structure put on a schooner, and it is now on its way to Florida. To superintend the work of placing this house on a proper foundation is the principal reason why he goes away.” “It is said that Mr. Edison will bring back a. bride with him. Is there any truth in the report?” “Well, I wouldn’t like to say anything authoritatively on that subject However, there has been some talk about that, and there may be considerable truth in it” Mr. Edison showed the reporter th-ough the house, which is the most elegantly furnished in Llewellyn Park, and pointed out the spot to the north of the building, where bis brother will bnild a laboratory. The laboratory will be IOOx 200 feet, and furnished in a similar manner to the one in Menlo Park. The entire cost for the building and furnishing of the house in which Mr. Edison will reside was over $450,000. A Tribute to Backbone. Sam Jones. Men of grit are to be admired. Senator Mahone, of Virginia, is one of them. Grit has won him all his victories. He weighs only one hundred pounds, but ninety-five of that is solid backbone. If there is anything in God Almighty’s world that I despise it is a man with a little old cotton striog for a backbone, with a eouple of ribs sewed to it Judas Iscariot betrayed his Master for thirty pieces of silver, but there are men to-day who will do it for nothing and board themselves.
