Settlement of a Case That Has Been in Court Since 1811. Curcaco, July 15.—A dispatch from Lexing- ton. Ky., says: The term of the circuit court of this county which has just closed disposed of one of the oldest suits pending in Kentucky and one of more than ordinary interest, having been in the courts since 1811, known as that of Wicklitfe’s executors agt. Breckinridge’s heirs. The case has been to the court Gay a peals several times, and at last, after costit the neighborhood of a million dollars, has been decided in favor of the heirs of Jobn Breckinridge. The suit was originally based upon an alleged contract made between John Lee on the one part md John Breckin- ridge and Geo. Nichoias on the other part: dated August 6, 1795, whereby Lee sold to Nicholas and Breckinridge one-half of a tract of land in Clark county, Kentucky, containing over 9,000 acres, for the sum of $50 per 100 acres. Henry Clay was mixed in the case originally. The original claim out of which this case arose amounted to only about £5,000, but the amount of land ed, the present value on account of the ch iron deposits and the natural tendency of litigants to fight as long as_ possible have combined to keep this case on the docket these many years. The record is very volu- minous and many of the papersin the case are rare curiosities, dating back to the founda- tion of the commonweath. ze aetna AFFAIRS AT JOHNSTOWN.

Noble, an electrican, who, for some ears has been connected with the Westing- jouse company, testified to the experiments conducted by a former witness, Brown, upon dogs at Edison's works, He described their sufferings as something terrible to look at, and emphatically said that the animals were not killed outright, but suffered a lingering death. Alex. McAddie, who described himself as an expert on atmospherical electricity, stated that he doubted if the machine proposed to be used by the state would killa man. Science had not as yet demonstrated the fact that a current can, with any certainty, be driven through the vital part of a man’s anatomy.

STRENGTHENING THE PIER. Two Divers at Work at the Free Bridge Repairing the Damaged Masonry. A stiff breeze was blowing and the Potomac running high this morning when a Stax re- porter pulled out from one of the boat houses bound for the scow anchored at the damaged south pier of the Free bridge. Upon arriving there he found all hands busily engaged, some mixing the cement and finely crushed stone, others | bags of the concrete thus formed to the diver at work at the bottom of the pier. Acouple of stont young men were pumping air to the submarine worker who was packing the concrete into the break at the base of the pier. From over the railings of the bridge peered acouple of human faces, eagerly watching for the appearance of the diver, who had just gone down for the second time before Tur Star man reached the scene. MAKING GOOD PROGRESS WITH THE WORK. Saturday afternoon forty-two bags of con- crete were lowered to the diver, who deposited the contents in the break. Before noon this morning about fi more bags were lowered and ae ds shag are lowered by a Tong line of manilla rope, which passes through a block and tackle on the scow and through another overhead attached to an iron girder of the bridge. The cement is so quick in setting that from six to eight men are needed to mix it, and as soon as mixed it is Bent to its destina- ion. TWo NEW DIVERS were at work to-day, Diver Rogers having left for his home in New York Saturday night. The diver who was engaged on the work of repair- ing the tottering pier this morning is John Bundick.

The mixture that is used to fill up the hole at the bottom of the damaged pier is made up of two barreis of cement to two barrels cf sand and four barrels of finely crushed stone. THE EXAMINATION OF THE PIER is about concluded and nothing remains to do but to pour in the cement and await develop- ments. So far nothing has stopped the tilting of the pier, which still continues, but it is hoped by those in charge of the work that as goon as the cavity formed by the sweeping of the current under the tree trunk is fille: THE SETTLING WILL STOP. The bridge frames, trusses, and beams have been loosened from the pier, which is sliding under them, leaving markson the stone. If this were not done the movement of the masonry would cause such a strain on the trusses as would warp them out of e and render them useless. e work of puting cement under the pier will probably continue for two or three days at least. Foot travel over the bri still continues uninterrupted, and long lines of people are watching the move- ments of the diver by leaning far over the iron rail, = — ALEXANDRIA, Reported for Tar Evextxe Stan.

George Hankins is satisfied that his fleet- footed mare Kaloolah was drugged Saturday before she went into the great western handi- cap at Washington park in Chicago, and thinks that within twenty-four hours he will know who tampered with her. The purse was worth $2,500 to the winner and Hankins’ horse was considered a dangerous competitor. For seve eral days it has been noticed that the Chicago stable’s eentries have made queer showings compared with former records. Suspicions of crookedness were not only entertained but freely expressed. Immediately after the race Trainer Johnson made a critical examination of the mare. When she came out of the race he said she did not appear exhausted and hardly drew along breath while being exercised. But she seemed drowsy and her eyes were heavy, ‘This was what excited Johnson’s suspicions and he at once began to investigate. It is not known where the crookedness exists, but it is | believed the stable boys have been tampered i A SKELETON WITH A ROMANCE. Story of the Fate of a Soldierof Valley Forge Which is Vouched for as True. A Reading, Pa., special to the New York Sun says: A paper published near the falis of French creek, 20 miles below here, prints a remarkable | story which the editor vouches for editorially | as true in every detail. French creek is a wild, rocky spot, where hundreds of tons of granite blocks for street paving are being taken from the immense boulders and shipped to distant cities, The remarkable story is this: The quarrymen came upon a cave, in which was found a human skeleton. The mouldy clothing indicated that the skeleton was that of acontinental soldier. The men found an old glass bottle near the skeleton, which was handed to Mr. W. W. Potts. Mr. Potts opened the bottle and found a well-preserved manu- script. and the article, signed by Mr. Potts, is published by the editor as strictly true. From the manuscript found in the bottle it ap- pears that the writer was a member of Gen. Washington's army, encamped at Vailey Forge, about 20 miles from French creek: | that the soldier had been went out to forage | with a half dozen others. They were discov- eredandchased. After they hed separated this one soldier crawicd into a cave nearly cov- ered by an overhanging rock. A violent storm arose. A flash of lightning struck the over- hanging rock and it fell and closed the open- ng, making @ prisoner of the soldier. He | screamed, but no one heard. He then wrote | she letter, May 17, 1778, attesting his undying tove for his sweetheart in Richmond. Ve., and | giving an accountof his strange imprisonment. | He died of starvation, presumably. The letter wes addressed to “Virginia Randolph, Rich- and was signed “Arthur L. Carring- ton. Mr. Potts’ article goes on to say that a corre- spondence was started with Virginia people, and it was finally jearned that 2 Miss Virginia | Randolph died in 1780, two years aiter the date of the Carrington letter; that she died griev- ing for her soldier lover, and that her tomb- sione 18 inscribed: Died of a broken heart on the Ist of March, 1750, Virginia Randolph. aged twenty-one years, nine days. Faithful unto death, ‘The remains of the skeleton were sent south to be buried by the side of Miss Randolph, Such is the Potts story, published and | vouched for by the editor. Residents of French creck were asked to corroborate the story. jome doubted it, while others said they had heard something of it before, reading it in the newspapers. ‘The story was republished in full in this city to-day, but doubt is thrown on its authenticity. se “VIVE BOULANGER.” The Cry Nearly uses a Riot in Paris. M. Deroulede, M. Laguerre and other Bou- langist members of the chamber of deputies assembled in the Place de la Concorde, before the statue of Strasburg, yesterday, intending to hold a meeting, A crowd of several thousand persons had gathered. M. Deroulede was about to begin a speech when a police commis- sary named Clementi forced his way through the crowd, and; approaching Deroulede, for- bade him to speak. Deroulede protested, but the police official was obdurate, Derouledge then began affixing floral wreaths to the rail- ings around the statue, at the same time lead- ‘ing tbe crowd in shouts of “Vive Boulanger.” Clementi tried to arrest Deroulede, but the latter stoutly resisted, saying that he had not made a speech, and had only cheered for Bou- langer. He refused to accompany the officer to the police station, Clementi_ there: seized him, but the crowd came to Derot 8 | west; DRAWING NEAR THE END. Morris Adler Himself Losing the Hope Which Has HeretoforeBuoyed Him Up. The direct rays of thesun never tke apartment in which Morris Adler lies wait- ing for death to release him from the and belplese monotony of existence, but darker than the shaded room are the forebodings of Adler, who is now satisfied that the end is drawing nearer day by day. There are changes that, for a little time, seem to be laden with hope, but there is a continuous weakening of the vital organs—a weakening which can have but one result, The remarkable changes, almost extremes, in the patient's condition, have made it difficult for even the most experienced med- ical men to express an opinion that, to the public, seemed to be of any value, but there is no room to doubt the correctness of the conclu- sion arrived at on the day after the shooting; Le., that the case COULD ONLY HAVE A FATAL TERMINATION. Yesterday morning Adler's pulse was beating, with a fair degree of steadiness, at the rate of 88 to the minute; last night it jumped to 118 and wns hard to find. The temperature also varied more than usual. In the morning it was 97 = degrees—below normal; at night it rose to 102 degrees. |More than once during the past twenty-four hours has Dr. Wagner imagined, and with good rea- son, that his charge was slipping away from him. At6 o'clock this morning Adler's tem- perature was precisely normal—93.6 degrees— while his pulse was 104. If these variations mean anything, they point to continued loss of strergth. Adler's respiration has also been subject to remarkable changes, but it has always been labored; it was considerab] #0 this morning when Dr. J. W. Bayne arrive He found his patient with a temperature of 994-10 degrees and his ise beating at 110, but weak. Up to 3 o'clock this morning the wounded man was very uneasy, but at that hour he dropped off ‘into a doze, from which he awoke in a little more cheerful mood than usual. To the doctors’ experienced eyes it was plain that only temporary will be any re- lief that may come to Adler.” There was, just at about 11 o'clock, A RETURN OF THE NERVOUS TWITCHING which caused so much apprebension a week ago. The attack was not a severe one, and it can hardly be said to be a symptom of tetanus, but the doctors immediately treated it with hypodermic injections. The absence of that bright demeanor which was such a wonderful feature of Adier’s case has done much toward convincing those who have hoped for his recovery that it is impossible, Upto the commencement of the past week Adler took considerable pleasure in seeing his more intimate friends. Now he does not want to see any of them. His appetite, too, has failed completely, and he never takes any nourishment without first having to be coaxed into swallowing it. A week or so ago he used to call for food. Frequently he would say: “I want my rations now,” or “You can't cheat me out of my beef tea,” (or milk, as the case might be.) THE DOCTORS. Dr. Wagner, who is in the Adler house all the time and in the sick room for eighteen hours out of the twenty-four, has a good deal of work todo, When Adler's temperature is high he has to sponge him, and when the pulse weak- ens he bas to stimulate him; it keeps him busy all the time. Tie doctors no longer visit the house to- gether. Yesterday J. Ford Thompsen was in; to-day Dr. Bayne received Dr. Wagner's re- port; to-morrow Dr. McBiair will be atthe bed- side. This arrangement was made because three doctorscould dono more than one. No medicines can be given to improve Adler's condition and none have been given unless it was a little bismuth and opium to stop weaken- ing diarrheal disc! 6. This was n to aid in preserving what little strength re- maius in Adler's paralyzed form. The paraly- sis remains just as it was, life only being ap- parent in the left foot. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ‘MESSRS. PARKER AND DWYER AGAIN. Messrs. Parker and Dwyer have addressed another communication to the Commissioners asking them to pay some attention to the ob- struction by the Pennsylvania railroad com- pany of E street where it intersects Virginia avenue southwest. The letter says: “We hard- ly think that, having been indicted by the grand jury for misconduct in office, will now claim that it is not your duty to pro- tect the rights of the public in the use of pub- lic streets, a8 this obstruction is as great. if not greater, than some of the counts for which the jury hold you criminally responsible.” The letter closes with a request that the Commis- sioners answer this and previous communica- tions.

POLICE PATROL SYSTEM FOR GEORGETOWN. Bids were opened at noon to-day for the erection and placing in oporation of a police patrol system in the seventh (Gcorgetown) inct similar to those now in use in other The Gamewell company, which hes neretofore erected the boxes, offered to do the rk for $3, The Municipal signal com- of Boston said it could do the work for 00. A letter which accompanied the bid of the latter company stated that the specifications were so drawn up as to practically shut out any but the Gamewell box. This was pro- tested against and the communication stated that the Boston company would give an article superior to any other for a less sum of money. The Commissioners promished Mr. Chapman, who represented the Municipal company, that they would carefully consider bis system and if necessary would reject the two proposals and advertise for new bids. Captain Jas. F. Oyster appeared with Mr. Chapman and urged the smendment of the specifications so that the lowest bid might be accepted. NO EARLY CLOSING TO-DAY. The clerks in the District building were not released to-day at 3 o'clock because tem- perature was hot at all oppressive.
