The proposition was not ac- cepted, and, afier expreseing a philanthropic wish that the Jn‘kgca f the Supreme o e here- after receive their salary in franchises, the distin- guished "advocate tranguilly departed to_extort some new revelations in whisky news in the ad- jn|nln§rnm of Judge Blodgett, Mr. McConnell sppeared on bohalf of the Indian- apolis, Bloomington & Western, the Pekin & South- western, aad the Chicago & lows Roads, and ASKED FOR MORE TIME when thors cases were called, saying that ke thonght that he could show rome new points in conncction with these roads, which had not baen presented at all in either count. Considerable discuasion followed, the defcndants in all the cases asking for more time. Mr. J. L.

On the northeast corner of Randolph and Canal streets stands a four-riory yellow brick building. known as the Rsndolph House,—an institntion which, while giving board and lodging to almost anybody who can pay for the same, offers extra inducements to stock men. Here sbout midnight of Thursday week occar- red the death of a woman from abortion, under peculiar circumstances. Tho name of the deceas- ed js Mrs. Fitzsimmons, the mother of several children, five of whom are living, She was about 36 years old, and described ns an industrions woman. Her insbard is said to be rather dissi- pated in his habits. They arrived in this citvso fi:}nl}y that bug little 1s known of the famfly's ory. That 2 women suddenly died in the Randolph House crept out asa matter of conrse, and theo- ries were formed by the people in the vicinity. Sudden deaths call for the attention of the Coro- ner, Inthis case. however, the Coroner was not notified. There was one theorist who made a note of this, —Redmond Sheridan, Justice of the Peace, in the little Louse over the way. Friday afternoon aboat 3 o'clock, Justice Sheri- dan, whoee office is cpposite the hotel on Rardolph streer, obseryed several men carry rough wooden box down the staircase of the hotcl and place it in a8 wagon. Kverything seemed to done in & very hasty and business.like man- mer. The matter exciting his apprehen- cions, ‘the Justice at once left his desk and hurried across the road, Mecting Mr. Fita- simmons, he decidedly informed him that the transaction was very indecent to say thelcast: that, in fact, the womna having died suddenly, it was eminently proper the Coromer should be sum- moned, and AN INQUEST HELD. He was shawn the bnn.’.lxgemlt, but insisted zpon hisdemand. Hailing Officer Stewart, of the Lake Street Squad, he accordingly placed the corpse of Mrs. Fitzsfmmons in his cuétody, and proceeded to the Barnes Honse, whence he telegraphed for the Coroner. When he returned, the ghastly freight had dls‘fpeued, the officer uuowm%nc}:e cxpresa- man to drive off un being shown the burial permit. Subsequently the Coroner arnved to find 1o snb- ject. " In that oflicial's hands Mr. Shridan left the matter. He had ascertained. however, that the Pphyeician in the case was Dr. P. §. Arndt. . P, §. t, whose oftice is at No. 89 East Randolph street, states that he was first called to attend the family s short time since, when received injuries af mh%& condition of the patient a1 once convinced the Doctor that aa abortion had been performed. Mon- dny night the patient was very low. Tuesdny morning the Doctor called agafn and 1nsiated upon Mr. Fitzsimmons' revealing all the facts, at tho same time requesting him to send for the parsy who did the job to come and finish it. Fitzsim= mons bereupon informed him that she produced the abortion hersel; that she had done the same :léing twice before in Iowa, where her physician hor that athlrd experiment would HBESULT I¥ HER DEATL. Wedmwdn! moming Dr. Amdt, though summoned, could mot attend by reason of another engagement. He, however, went in the evening, wflgu he gave up all hopes of recovery.

Arndt ascribes to his own consideration for the feclings of the relatives, as he was convinced that the womsn alone Was re- sponaible for ber death. To couftrm his belief that the womsaa took her Iifo with her own hands, Dr. Arndt says that, in Gommy with_Police-Officer Stewart, he entered the dolgh House Saturday,—the corpse was re- moved on y aftornoon, —and was informed by 80 old Indy avd a gir] that deccased said she per- formed the operation heruelf.

The Committee on Public Buildings and Hospital yesterday suthorized the parchsse of suitable ecales for use at the new hospital in receiving goods. Commissloner Lonergen estimates that if the work on the new Conrt-Iouse goes forward this year, abant $325,000 will be expended. The progress of the work depends upon the action of. the Board inletting the contract for cut-stone. Somo two years ago a Mr. Smyler, of the Town of Lake, was elected Justice of the Peace. There 'was some informality in the election, and he neyer got his commiesion until yesterday, and then it was through the instrumentality of Frovidence and the friendship of the Connty Board in appointing him to 1l & vacancy.

THE COUNTY ASSESSORS. In obedience to a call from the Committee on Equalization of the County Board mo#t of the As- sessors of tho county met that Comunittee yester- day morning in the Commiesioners’ room. The obfe:t of the .meeting was to consuit in reference to gssessing, and to arrive at some anderstanding or agreement by which the assessment might ba made more uniform and nccurate this year than it had heen in the past. Commissioner Busse calied the meeting to order, and Mr. Sherman, of River- side, was called to the chair, and C. H. Dyer Sec- tnr{. A general and informal talk followed, in which Mr. Buzse called attention to the fact that e 4,000 horses, wi ear had been sssessed on e the country towns ‘had paid tax on 16,000, which, he sald, was notorionsly inaccurate snd unfair. Others called attention to similar items going to show that the drg Wwas poor in watches, clocks, jewelry, pianos, and carriages, while the country towns were wealthy in such luxuries. No action of any natare wastaken, apd the mecting adjourned aine die. The County Clerk, fa this connection, directs at- tention to the following extracts from the law, ‘which if observed alike hy the property-holder and Assessor, must remedy the, vances of all iess Sec. 24.

City-Clerk Butz has made requests of several ex- Aldermen for the Aldermanic badges which the city bonght for the use of its rulers, and in eve: case was refused possession of the star. He will 80 state to the Council Monday night. The badges are not of great value, but might be found handy on sundry occasions to deud-head a ride on the strect-cars, or to get passed into eome place of amusement. ‘The ruceipta in the License Department are most wofully emall, the daily average income being less than $50.

The address of Brother Tate, who said he was a Teonessee farmer, and was atthe plow-hundle when be received notice of his appointment as messenger, abounded in wit, and was received with vociferous laughter by the Bishops and members of the Confer- ence. Brother Tate said he bad been sold on the block three times, and was graduated after aitending Sunday-school three Ssbbaths.

BosTow, May 20.—Newton Morse, of Natick, another of our ex-legislators, and singularly enough Winslow’s predecessor in the Senate and unsuccessful compatitor for the nomipation when Winslow got it, has lighted out. A passion for gambling led him sstray and resmlted in the loss of all his proper- ty, besides money collected for the Newton Natiomal Bank, sums borrowed from personat friends, and moncy left to bis children by an aunt. Morse was until recently o respected and houvored man, a gromi— nent member of the orthodox church, sud well connected. He served through the Rebellion in & Massachusetts regiment, and et the close of the War resumed his law studies, defraying his expenses by working at shuemaking. “Three or four years sgo he was admitted to the Bar and began the practice of law. He was popular with the citizens of Na- tick, who twice elected Lim Representative to the Legisature and once Serator. He was Chair- man of the Board of School Cominittee, and has held other minor offices. The sums borrow- ed from friends in Boston, Needham, Framing- ham, Sherborn, and Holliston, and which he lost in gamb] amount to $3,000. His house, a2 small'one in the western part of the town, is mort%ugetl for $500. Here his prief-stricken wife and two children, s boy of 1£and -a girl of 15 years, are now residing.
