LUNATIC IN A COURT-BOOM

Jcdge Gresham lias a Singular Experience witb an Addle-Pated Stranger. Wanted His Honor to Instruct the Marshal to Deliver $3,000 Paid Into Court by Jaj Gould Oierrowerei by Policemen. CmcAGO. Jan. 12, Jndge Walter Q. Gresham had experience with ft crazy man to-day, which ia best told in the distinguished jcrist'a own words: This morning when I first entered the thambers. in the northeast corner of the court-room." said the Judge, 4,1 found Judge Blodgett and Judge Jenkins and this man. After speaking to Judges Blodgett and Jenkins, this man approached familiarJy. asking if some one. airing a name which I do not now remember, had ar riTed. I told him I did not know, and he answered that the person had agreed to meet him there this morning and ought to he there. I supposed the man had some business in court aud paid no further attention to him. About 5 o'clock this Afternoon the man entered the chambers on the other side of the ball, where I was, and told me that the marshal had that money locked np and would Dot giro it to him, aa 1 had ordered he should. Not yet realizing that the man was out of his mind, I asked him what money he reerred to. and ha said that $5,000 which Jay Gould had paid in fqr him, nd which 1 had ordered ne should hare. I then looked into Lis lace and observed a wild expression on his countenance, and told hid to go with me to the marshal and 1 would see that he got what he was entitled to. He declined, laying that Anarchists were after him, and wanted to kill him. I had managed to set between him and the door, and keeping my eyes on him told him to sit down and 1 would be back in a moment, lie then took a seat, and I went to the marshal's office, told the deputies what had occurred and told them to inform tbe proper authorities of the condition of the poor man, so that Le might be cared for. "Deputy Hayes returned with me, and when we entered the room the presence of the deputy seemed to excite the man and he declined to go with the officers. I directed the deputy to leave the room for a time, which he didnot closing the door after him. The man then closed the door and went to the door leading from the chambers to the court-room and locked it. Ills manner did not indicate that he was dangerous. 1 told him to sit down and he di4 so. lie again said he was m danger from Anarchists, and referred to his $5,000 and claimed my protection. I assured him he should not be hurt. He asked if I was a clairvoyant, and told me he was constantly receiTing messages trom people of that kind, and had just received one from Jay Gould. He seemed surprised that I had cot heard of it After a little be again became quieted, but, in the meantime, aoxne of the deputies had sent for the 5olice and they were outside of the door, he man in some way learned of their presence, and again became excited. I toldthe police and the marshals that they had Letter not enter the room for a time. The man again convinced himself that tbe door leading to the court-room was still locked, and tried to lock the hall door, but found no key. I had him take a seat again, and told him I must go soon, at tne same time keeping careful watch of him. He asked what would become of htm, and requested that I protect him until the military arrived. I told him he bad better demand the protection of the marshal until the arrival of the soldiers. thich he saia he wonld da I then went out and requested Marshal Hitchcock to go into the room. He could not go, but tent his son. and I told the stranger that the young man was Marshal Hitchcock's son and would afford him protection when I left, and immediately quitted the room. Two policemen and two other men, after a struggle, succeeded in overpowering the lunatic, who, with a cane which he carried, attempted to prevent his capture. He gave his name aa Martin McConahy. ia of powerful build and about fifty years old. Nothing further is known of him. He will doubtless be sent to an insane aeylnm." AN 131 PftfSSIYJS CEREMONY. " Imposing Obsequies of the Late Bey. Father Hughes Pejthien, of Yincennes. pclal to tie IcAifcHApclla Journal. Vincennes, Jan. 12. The funeral of the late Rev. Father Hughes Peythieu. formerly pastor -f the Cathedral congregation, took place to-day. Imposing funeral ceremonies were conducted. Pontifical requiem high mass was celebrated by Rt. Rev.

The hearse was drawn by six white horses. The remains of the dead priest were laid to rest in his private lot in the Cathedral cemetery. Father Peythieu for many years was pastor at the Cathedral. Two years ago bad health compelled him to seek stiengtb in the booth. He wan greatly loved by his old flock, to whom he beSueathed all his earthly possessions. He led Saturday, at Nashville, Tenn. Indianapolis m 1111 In Dee Mointa. Des Moines. Ia., Jan. 13. J. J. Richardion, of Davenport, member of the Democratio committee, has gone East to try and secure the coming national convention for Des Moines. Mr. Richardson, it is claimed, haa the aid of both Senator Gorman and Hill, who are eaid to favor Des Moines on tbe ground that if any of the Western cities which are now pressing their claims, unless it be Indianapolis, are chosen, the local sentiment for the nomination of Cleveland would be too strong to overcome. In Indianapolis, on the other hand, they would have to contend with a Gray boom, but in Des Moines the original Cleveland sentiment would be met and overcome by the counter-sentiment in favor of Governor Boies, and this they are not afraid to meet. Democrats of the East, too, think that they can carry Iowa in an election; Sunol Will Hot Race with Any Horse. New Yokk. Jan. 12.

Why the New Governor of Maryland Was Inaugurated Without Pomp and Ceremony. Baltimore, Jan. 12l Governor-eleot Frank Brown was inaugurated at Annapolis to-day. It had been hia intention to celebrate his induction into office with great pomp and ceremony, and elaborate arrangements were in progress, when a jeweler knocked tbe programme into smithereens. It appears that Mrs. Brown, the Governor wife, who is very wealthy and a leader in society, had sent all her di amonds and she has a magnificent collection to have them reset and rearranged. She intended wearing them at the reception following the inauguration. The jeweler conceived the idea of setting them in a band and forming a crown. Mrs. Brown at first objected, but was finally persuaded. When the work was completed, and beforo it was submitted to her, the jeweler sent for the newspaper reporters, snowed them the tiara, which certainly was beautiful, and stated that it was to be worn by Mrs. Brown when her husband was inaugurated. The next day a full and lavish description of Mrs. Brown's crown appeared in the newspapers. To say the Governor-elect was paralyzed would not do justice to his condition. He had posed as a plain farmer, and here was made to appear as a king. After giving the jeweler a piece of bis mind, he proceeded to remake the inauguration programme he bad mapped out, and now announces that there will be no other ceremony than that which tbe law directs. There will be no reception either, until ten days after he takes tbe oath. Meanwhile all the organizations that have laid in a supply of hats, canes, etc, for the parade are hopping mad. From country sections of the State come letters asking for particulars about the crown and the queen who will wear it. It is very probable that the crown will bo taken apart. HE 13 A LIVING E0NE.

Edward Emmons, a Resident of Port Jefferson, in a Complete State of Ossification. Port Jefferson, L. L, Jan. 12. Edward x Emmons, thirty-seven years old, has been living in a complete state of ossification since 1876. Emmons was one of the crew of the schooner Julia Willis, Capt, W. B. Dayton. At the age of twenty-one he returned from a sea voyage, and before the schooner reached this port he was stricken with rheumatism. He was carried to his home and has not been able to leave his bed since. For nearly sixteen years he has suffered the most excruciating agony, while his body and limbs, except his left arm, became rigid, as if deprived of all their joints. Even his jaws are closed and set, and he takes his food through an opening made by the loss of two front teeth. Emmons is ablo to inoye bis left arm sufficiently to feed himself, but it is with dilnulty. The patient speaks quite distinctly, and is able to see and hear, although both of these senses have been impared by the progress of the disease. He has grown so emaciated that his mother and sister, who take care of him. lift him in and out of bed as if he were a log of wood. His only pastime is i reading, and as his appetite ia good he may live several years. Emmons's father was a sea captain, and he too was bed-ridden, first with rheumatism, and then with the strange disease which has strioken the son. Dr. Grarci Will Go Unshorn. Caxox City, CoL, Jan. -12. Dr. Graves was quite , cheerful, to-day. One reason for this was that through the intercession of friends, he was excused from having his hair and whiskers removed, and was not compelled to wear the striped suit of the prison. The regulation death watch has not been place on his cell and will not be unless the Supreme Court refuses to grant the Doctors motion for a new trial. Ihe Doctor speaks confidently of an early release, and says he conld not live if ho thought he had to stay here loug. Every effort is being made to hurry the action of the Supreme Court, and it is expected that an early decision will be rendered in the motion for a new trial. Ilrlde and Best Mau Fatally Injnred. Pueblo, Col.. Jan. 12. Stanko, a wellknown Hungarian, and Mrs. Kobash were united in marriage and were on their way home on Santa Fe avenue in a back, accompanied by Andrew Martin, who had officiated as beet man at the wedding. When near the crossing of the avenne and the Santa Fe tracks the driver noticed a passenger train approaching and attempted to pass in front of it. He succeeded in this, bat was struck by an engine Koing in the opposite direction. The hack was completely demolished and Martin and the bride thrown under the wheels of the engine. Both were badly mangled and cannot recover. Peter Jackson Scores a Knock-Oat. Chicago. Jan. 12. At a series of glove contests at Battery D, to-night, the features of the evening were two contests between Pete Jackson, the colored heavyweight champion, and Jack Kins, a looal middle-weight, and Dalton, of Philadelphia. The first was easily won by Jackson in the third round. King giving np. The other contest was viciously fought, both men delivering a number of good blows. In the third ronnd Jackson took advantage of an opening to give his opponent r. right-and-left hander on the neck and heart, knocking him down and out. About four thousand spectators were present. Swallowing Its Competitors. Chicago. Jan. 12. The Gas Trust is endeavoring to get rid of its competitors.

DEATHS INCREASED BY ONE

C. N. Cheek Dies from Injurie9 Eeceived in the Monon Railway Wreck. The Crippled Bnrlesgce Company to Ba 8ent to Any Desired Point Cause of the AccidentCondition of the Injured. Fpeci&l to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Cuawfordsvillk, Ind., Jan. 12. The Nutt House last night was as a hospital, whore all tbe doctors in the city assisted in alleviating the Batterings of the injured in the Monon passenger wreck of yesterday afternoon. Men and women of thla city assisted tbe doctors in their work, and remained all night and are there to-day. Many of the lightly injured took the night trains for their homes. The wrecking-train crew are working on the wreck to-day, getting the trunks from the baggage car and preparing to lift what is left of the coaches. The baggage car is bnt slightly injured and the parlor car can be repaired, hut the women's coach is litterally smashed to pieces and the other car burned. This wreck is undoubtedly the worst tli at has ever ocenred on the Monon. A Tery narrow escape was that of a farmer who was starting up tbe road leading along aide the bill, as when the cars stopped rolling the baggage car was within six feet of his horses. THE DEAD AND INJURED. The remaius of Benjamin llamberger, a traveling man for Lie bra an & Schloss, of Cincinnati, were taken home this afternoon, in charge of Arnold Kahn, of Cincinnati, and Sol, Tannenbaun. of this city, llamberger was thirty-six years old, single, and lived with his mother in Cincinnati. The remains of Miss Ina Van Kockey will be interred at this place, as her home is in Hungary. She ban been in this country nbont a year, and had quite a reputation as a ballet dancer. C. N. Cheek, of Ureencastle, died from his injuries this morning at 3 o'clock. His wife aud child arrived a few minutes before his death, and the meeting was, indeed, a sad parting, as his life ebbed out soon afterward. They had driven through from Ureencastle. His remaius were taken back to Greenca3tle this afternoon, and the funeral will be to-morrow. His death resulted from the nervous shock and loss of blood, his left leg being mashed by a pair of car trucks, as was also bis right foot. Last evening, before he died, he sent for Kev. G. P. Fuson, of the Baptist Church, who administered to his spiritual wants. Of tbe injured those in danger yet are Nellie Hanliu. Madge Lamed and Fannie Everett, of the "City Club" Burlesque troupe; J. V. Malsbury, of Romney; and Nat Beatly. of this city. G. K. Lowell, a roa l superintendent, was taken to Louisville to-day. accompanied by his wife, who arrived last night. Ex-President Brey fogleiaccompanied his injured wife home to Louisville on the afternoon train. , In addition to those reported injnred yesterday are Miss Larenor, ot burlesque company, head hurt; Curtis Speck, burlesque company, lingers cut oil; Miss Reynolds, burlesque company, leg hurt; Zachariah Roberta, Bedford (colored), chest and shoulders cut. 6ETTLINO WXTII THE INJURED. Last night Claim Agent Huston arrived from Bloomington and to-day is compromising with the injured, so far as they can agree on the figures. His method is to find an injured man, take him aside, Question him as to what he thinks will recompense him. and, if possible, make a settlement and take a receipt. C. W. Lowden, of Salem, is known to have received $3) for his cut head and bruised leg. Several officials of tbe Monon. are here to-day, doing all that is in their power for the comfort of the injured. They are General Passenger Agent Barker, of Chicago; General Manager V. JI. McDoel, of Louisville; Koad Agent G. K. Lowell, of Louisville; W. Ii Breyfogle, of Louisville, a director; Chief Surgeon Davis, of Chicago; General Superintentent S. J. Collings, of Chicago; Superintendentof Bridges and Tracks Hall, of Chicago; General Solicitor Judge Field, of Indianapolis; Assistant Attorney C. C. Matson, of Greencastle, find Trainmaster J. B. Suseco, of Bloomington. A sleeper has been placed at the disposal of the demoralized burlesque troupe, and they will be landed free of all cost at any place named. Agent Watson has done ail that he could to make it comfortable for tho injured. A careful examination by the coroner of the place where the train encountered tbe broken rail shows that the rail was broken into seventeen pieces, tome being but three inches long. The rail had been broken sometime, about three inches from the end, the break being diagonally toward the hole through which the bolts fastened the fish-plates. The crack had been battered on the upper end. proving that it had been in this condition for some time. This break was between two ties, and undoubtedly the engine passing over this broke the rail again, thus causiug the cars to leave the track. Tho section men. who were close by at the time of the wreck, were scared ao badly that they claim they did not know what to do, and ran across the fields to the wagon-road and walked to town. C. X Cheek Brought Home. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Greencastlk. Jan. 12. The remains of C. N. Cheek, who was killed in the Monon wreck at Crawfordsville yesterday, were brought to this city this afternoon. Mr. Cheek was an nniversal favorite here, and the community ia greatly shocked at his nntitnely death. The funeral will take placo from the home of Mis. 8. J. Crouch, on Lucust street, at 2 o'clock, on Thursday, the Odd-fellows taking charge. ALLEGED BRIBERY. Insinuations of a Democratic Newspaper Concerning a Man Who Voted for Sherman. Special to tre Indianapolis Journal. Columbus, O., Jan. 12. Indirect charges of bribery in the United States senatorial contest which came to a close last Wednesday have been repeatedly made since then, but only recently have they assumed sufficient definiteness to be worthy of consideration. An evening paper, the Post, last evening directly charged that Kepresentative J. E. Daugherty, of Fayette county, received 83,500 from Sherman for his vote in the caucus. This morning Mr. McUrew rose to a question of privilege and denied the charge, asking the House to investigate it if it saw ht. No action was taken. Something ot a sensation was caused late this afternoon when it was found that city editor Kelley and reporter II. D. Landon, of the Post, had been taken before the grand jury now in session to give evidence in the case. The Republicans claim the frand jury investigation is poshed by cmocrats, tbe county prosecutor being a Democrat, in order to throw a stigma on the election of Senator Sherman to offset the attack being made in the Legislature now against Senator Brice. The Senate and House voted separately for Senator to-day. In the Senate John Sherman received eighteen votes and James E. Neal eight. In the House Sherman received ninety-three votes and Neal twenty-nine. The resolntion to investigate tbe eligibility of United States Senator Brice was discussed in vigorous speeches in the House, but action was postponed till Wednesday afternoon. New Jersey legislature. Trenton, N. J., Jan. 12. The Democrats of the House held a caucus, this morning, and renominated Speaker Bergen, of Somerset, and all the other officers of the last year. Both houses of the Legislature organized at 3 o'clock, and received Governor Abbott's annual message. Kates for Republicans. Chicago, Jan. 12. Lines in the Western Passenger Association have agreed upon the following arrangement for the Republican national convention at Minneapolis, June 7. One lowest first-class fare for tbe round trip from all association points to Minneapolis and return, tickets to be sold June 5, (J and 7, good for return passage

until and including June 25, tickets to be good for going passage on date of sale only, and for continuous passage in both directions. Preacher Edwards Rewarded. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 12. Senator Edwards, the independent Republican whose presence resulted in a quorum being present at the organization of the Senate by the Democratic majority, has been made chairman of the committo on railroads.

Millionaire Michael Rielly, who died hero recently, carried his hatred of his ohildren beyond the grave. His will, which was probated here to-day, leaves all his property, valued at 81,500.000. in trust to Bishop J. J. Kam and Mgr. Sullivan until all heirs now living are dead, the estate to be then divided among their heirs. Reilly had six children, but was estranged from all of them. They will coutest the will. SCHEME TIIAT TAKES MONEY Plan for Reorganization of the Richmond fc West IVmt Terminal Railway. Only $1S9,000,000 in Bonds and $136,000,000 in fctock A Virginia Charter to Be Secured Advisory Board Meeting. New York, Jan. 12. An evening paper to-day prints the main facts in regard to a railway echeme of unprecedented magnitude, the details of which will not be made public for some time. The great scheme is tho financial and physical reorganization of the Richmond & West Poiut Terminal Railway and Warehouse Company, and the facts are given in advance of the report of the Olcott, or reorganization committee. Briefly stated the OJcott plan, when perfected, will present these details: In tbe tirst place a new company will be formed, with a charter empowering it to act as a general proprietary company, like the present Terminal company, but also with power to operate and manage its own lines. For this purpose the charter of a company called the Richmond, Danville &. Southwestern Railroad Company will probably be used. This charter is under examination by the4 company's lawyers now. It was granted by the State of Virginia about four years ago. If this charter is unavailable a new one will be obtained. Tbe new company will then issue its securities in exchange for .those of the-' present companies composing the Terminal system. The Terminal seenrities, as representing the control of the subordinate roads, will also be exchanged. 1 he original stocks and bonds will then go into tbe treasury- of the new company. It is thought and estimated that a completo exchange can be ejected by the issuance hy the new company of SlbU.000.000 of its bonds and $136,000,000 of its stock. These figures at first seem staggering, but when the capitalization is adjusted to the mileage it will be seen that it is at the rate of less than $40,000 a mile. No other section of the country can show a similar proportion of capitalization to mileage as this, the figures varying from Sl-1.000 per mile in the middle Mates to $ 1,000 per mile . in the Northwestern States. The exchanges of the various securities of the component roads for those of the new company will in large part have to be determined by the equities of the case apart, to some extent, from the market pricea. This will also bo in the hands ot tbe Olcott committer. "But-there "will be an obvious advantage to the holder of any Columbia & Greenville seenrities of tbe new company, which will be listed upon the European bourses and have the advantage of an international market. The process of exchanging tbe seenrities will be also much simplified by tbe fact that the Terminal company already owns all of the Danville stock, a majority of the Central of Georgia, and a large portion of tbe East Tennessee company. The minority atocknolders can come in or not, as they seo fit. The corporate existence of all the roads will be maintained as long as there are any unconverted seenrities outstanding, just as that of the Richmond & Danville now is, although tbe Terminal company owns all of the stock except some 120 shares, tbe owners of which aro lost and tbo stock with them. But tbe great advantage of. the plan lies in the fact that ' instead . of three companies there will be one consolidated company with ons management to operate the whole system. The saving of expense will be enormous. The clashing of separate managements will be done away with, and the managers of the road can tell without trouble just what their income is and where it is to be applied. Of course, such details as the interest on the new bonds are undetermined. The rate will probably be 4 or 5 per cent. It is understood that a powerful bankers' syndicate has consented to underwrite the new series when issued, and it is thought that the whole scheme will go through with as little friction as can be expected of a plan of such magnitude. Western Trado Association. New York, Jan. 12. The quarterly meeting of the advisory board of the Western Traffic Association was 'held yesterday at New York. Among the representatives of the Western roads in attendance were G. T. Magoun, president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and J. B. Speer of the same road; George Coppell, president of the Denver & Rio Grande; General Manager Ackert, of the Iowa Central; President O. D. Ashley, of tho Wabash; President Miller, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul, and Director Samuel Spencer, of the same road; President M. llughitt, of the Chicago & Northwestern; Jay Gould, president, and S. li. H. Clarke, vice-president of the Missouri Pacific; President Sidney Dillon, of the Union Pacific? President Stuy vesaut Fish, of the Illinois Central, and Vicepresident S. V. R. Conger, of tbe same road; President Cable and Director B. H. Brewster, of tbe Chicago & Rock Island; President Perkins, of the Chicago, Burlington & Quinoy, and President C. 1. Huntington, of the Southern Pacific. President Cable, of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacilic road, said to a reporter that there was absolutely no foundation for the rumor that th association was on its last legs. Its power and inlluence oil Western roads within the last six months had materially improved their condition. The at! airs of the Western Traffic Association, in his opinion, bad never been more harmonious or prosperous, and there was no sign that tbe association would be abandoned. Dayton & Union Annual Sleeting. Dayton, O., Jan. 12. At the annual meeting of stockholders of tho Dayton & Union railroad here, to-day, these directors were elected: M. D. Woodruff, of Cincinnati: II. F. Shoemaker, of New York; Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincinnati, J. D. Layuge, of New York; G. S. Russell, of Cleveland; R. D.' Marshall, of Davton; II. H. Poppleton, of Cleveland, and J. Ramsey, jr., of Cincinnati. The board will organize later by the election of H. F. Shoemaker president. J. Ramsey, jr., vice-president and general manager, W. F. Stark superintendent. This result will continue the tratlio arrangement for joint benefit of the Big Four and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railways. The Ml an to no m ah' Guns Worked Well. Kkw York. Jan. 12,Tbe trial of the guns and mounts of tho double-tnrreted monitor Mlantonomah was finished' on Saturday afternoon, eleven guns having been fired during tbe trial. In every respect the trial has been a great success, the few delays and mishaps being only those which are always encountered in using new machinery for the first time.

A DIGNIFIED PB0FES8I0N

Rather Queer Squabble of Toung Attorneys in the Lillie Stevens Murder. Hid an Experience Like that cf KInjr Lear Christian Hilgenberg's Will Court Miscellany. An affidavit of peculiar nature was filed yesterday in the Criminal Court by Sam uel Winkle, father of Lillie Stevens, through one of her attorneys, John J. Rochford. It demands of the court that Messrs. Cady &Cady. and John W. Kealing. who have been retained by other friends of the defendant, shall appear and show by what authority they represent themselves to be the defendant's counsel. Winkle has also retained John L. Reardon, Rochford's partner, who is also the pauper attorney. It was arranged that all five of these young prigs of the law should appear for the defense, and all say that they had a fee in sight, but this action yesterday shows some one is trying to freeze out some of the others. Rochford did not consult the other attorneys before filing. his motionan act which is said to contravene professional courtesy, and which does not often occur in the Marion court. Mr. Kealing says that though having been formally retained, in consideration of compensation, be will withdraw rather than have any diificultyin the case. Cady & Cady are tbe attorneys selected by the defendant, and in ber present state of mind, which is decidedly unbalanced, it is said, she will not listen to any one else's appointment or retention. The case was set for yesterday, but the defense, for some reason, had made no preparation, and it was continued until next Tuesday. Jndgo Cox informed the attorneys it must then certainly be tried. An effort will be made to have tho woman declared insane before that time. The court has not ruled on the motion to allow the expense for expert medical testimony. It is said the expense will not be allowed, although the judge has a precedent in the Mabbitt case in his own court. A Modern Case of Iar. Henry A. Pollard's complaint in the Circuit Court, yesterday, in a suit against his children, again recalls tho sufferings of King Lear. The defendants are Alva, Daniel and Grant Pollard and their assigns, Margaret Pollard, Asa A. Myers, Mary Myers and Robert Johnson, executor of the will of William Johnson, deceased. The complaint states that the plaintiff, who is well advanced in years, entered into a written agreement with his three sons, named above, whereby he was to deed his property to them and they were to provide a home for him and the comforts of the station of life in which he lived. He avers that the agreement was made and the sons given a deed to the farm. They then began to sell it in part, two buying out the interest of tbe third, and one of tbe two then transferring his undivided interest to those , named as codefendants. Robert Johnson was made a defendant because he loaned $1,600 on the the farm. It has come to a point, the plaintiff avers further, that it is impossible for him to live longer with his sons. They abuse him. he says, aud refuse him not only the comforts of his station, but also the necessities. He asks to have the transfers set aside as illegal, the mortgage lien lifted ana for 5,000 damages. Christian IIDpenberjc's Will. The will of Christian Hilgenberg was yesterday admitted to probate. The estate, which amounts to $75,000, is given to the three sons, Chris, William and John, in equal parts. The only portion given the female issue, in the term of the testament, i $5 to Caroline Hilgenberg, when she shall become twenty-one years of age. The deceased nominated his son Chris as guardian of tbe minor heirs and executor of the estate, and directed him to give his sisters a common school education. After reaching the age of twenty-one years they are to enjoy no further benefit from the estate. The bond required of the executor was Sy.000. Although tho will was admitted to prohate, it is rumored that it is to be contested by tbe daughters. The scant portion allowed them is a true index of the appreciation of the sex held by their father. He was notoriously business-like in all his dealings with women. Was Fined Without Knowing It Thomas Scott filed a suit yesterday, in the Circuit Court, against Richard M. Smock, to have tbe balance of an unpaid judgment in a criminal case set aside. This grows out of tbe case passed upon Monday by Judge Brown, in the suit for damages for false imprisonment, the decision favoring the defendant. The plaintiff' avers that his wife, having filed a suit against him in the defendant's court for assault and battery, desired the next day. before process was served, to witbdrawthe charge. The court refused to allow her so to do. and she then employed an attorney to appear and enter a plea of guilty. The fine and costs amounted to $14.10, $4 of which was paid. The balance was stayed, and tbe defendant alleges that the first knowledge he had of tho whole transaction was when he was arrested for failing to pay tbe balance of the fine at the expiration of the stay. The Judge's Sharp Rebuke. In the suit of David Trissell against the Citizen's Street-railway Company for $5,000 damages, which is in progress in the Circuit Court, Judge Brown yesterday made a ruling adverse to the propriety of a question put by Mr. Martz, attorney for tbe plaintiff, to which tbe latter objected. In spite of the status of the interrogation before the court, the attorney repeated tbe question. "Mr Martz," said Judge Bro wr . in a sharp tone of surprise, "did you understand that the court had ruled on that question!" "Yes. but I thought I would ask it again," was the reply. "Let it be understood," 6aid Judge Brown quickly aud firmly, "that when a question is once ruled on, it is sot proper to repeat it." The rebnke caused a dead hush to pervane ine crowa in tne lonoy. For Breach of Promise. Madeline G. Boyle yesterday filed a suit in the Superior Court against George A. Boeckling for breach of promise, alleging damages to the amount of $5,000. The enit is filed by Jndge Irvin, and tbe complaint asserts that on a date in 191 the defendant agreed to marry the plaintiff within one month. He failed to keep the promise, and the suit follows. Tbe plaintift is not a young and coy maiden whose affections have been trilled with, as one might at first suppose. She was divorced on a crosscomplaint from the defendant in May, ltfJl, and alimony of gl.fico given her by the court. The defendant is a member of the Keystone Land and Improvement Company. The divoroe was granted on ground of abandonment. The Father Gets Little Empress.
