One week’s time is allowed him in which to settle~uinfle affairs. The police com- - missioners Tuesday night reinstated McLaughlin to his rank in the police force from which the board dismissed him upon the finding of the jury that he was guilty Aug. Theis wrote Gov. Morton of New York that unless he at once inspects Theis’ patent machine for the healing of the nations and the abolition of death he will hold the Governor personally responsible for the deaths that ensue henceforth in New York State. A month ago Theis attempted to gain access to the Governor and present the merits of the machine. He is a crank. E. P. McDonough, of Boston, who has returned from a lengthy stay in Cuba, has no doubt that the Cubans will be granted home rule as an outcome of the present insurrection. Mr. McDonough also said he was informed that $10,000,000 of American money is now at stake at Santiago through lack of American war vessels. McDonough also declared that he knew Marti was dead beyond a shadow of doubt. He was killed on the west bank of the river at Ranaugaunos, a point between Santiago de Cuba and Bayamo. Every time the suit of William Laidlaw against Russell Sage is tried at New York the heavier grows the amount of damages assessed by the jury. Tuesday the jury gave the plaintiff $40,000. On the first - Laidlaw was nonsuited. Qn the second trial he was given a verdict of $25,000. On the third trial the jury disagreed. An appeal was taken each time. The suit Is based upon the allegation that Millionaire §age used his clerk, Laidlaw' as a shield when Norcross threw the bomb with intent to kill Mr. Sage. Instead of Mr. Sage being killed, Mr. - Laidlaw was seriously Injured. „ , A very long step forward was taken by the new woman at New York Thursday. Mrs. Catherine Mcllvaiue took.it. She keeps a stationery store and her husband, Alexander, lives with her. She is a handsome woman, well developed and muscular; he is wizened, subdued in manner and talks in a treble voice. Mrs. Mcllvaine had her husband before Police Justice Ryan charging him with ill treatment, failure to support her and drunkenness. “What have yon to say to your wife’s charges?” asked the judge. "It's all because I wouldn't do the cooking and washing any longer,” auswered Mcllvaine weakly. “She made me do the washing.. She stood over me with a horsewhip. I did a whole week’s washing Thursday, and on Friday and Saturday she threatened me with that whip unless I did the ironing.” Mrs. Mcllvaine said her husband was a loafer, and he was sent to prison for a month.
