Kisen- hower confossed his guilt, but the court hold that the various thefts could not be aggrogated, but that each constituted a soparate offonse, and each one must be soparately tried. On one of these items he was therefore convicted of petit larceny, and has just served his thirty days in jail. 1t was the declared intention of the prosecution to crowd the other cases one by one, and if he could not be punished for grand larceny he could be given a series of smaller punishments aggregatingas much, On his recent release from jail here he was takon to Denison for trial on a sec- ond charge, this time for a $150 item, making a grand larcenyoffense. The ox- nination was quite a sensational one, disonhauer has a wife, & worthy woman, for whom much sympathy is_folt. She fainted on the witness stand with her child in her lap, and other incidents of the trial aroused pity. The justice bound the prisoner over to the district court, and fixed the bailat the low amount of $100, which Eisenhouer gave. 1{is now nqu(miun in the minds of many whether with only €100 bail he will appear for trial. — Hood's Sarsaparilla 18 made of roots® herbs and barks.

Dowell, administrator, brings action for the value of a brakeman's life, against the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern railway. There had been a drifted track, of which the brakeman was aware, and his {rain_in passing through became separated wnd the brakeman was last seen alive near the engine, His death was probably caused by being crushed between the icy snow bank and one of the cars, though the jury declined so to find. There wag a verdict for plaintiff in the court below,from the dofendant’s appenl. Judge Black holds that the conditions under which intestate accepted employ- ment are to be considered, and says also the manner of his death, according to the evidence, is doubtful. The fact set up by the defendant thata settlement had been made with the widow is not to be considered for, not being administrator, she could not release any claim for dama- ges. PRIVLEGED COMMUNICATIONS, 0. T. Raymond was injured by falling from the platform of a Burlington, Cedar ltnpi(L & Northern car, and was treated by the company’s surgeon. The latter called in angther doctor as coun- sel, who asked several questions of plaintiff as to the nature of the injury, one beingwhether the train was in motion at the time. The reasun for the ques- tion was two-fold: Firat, to know how to treat the disease, and second, whether the resonsibility was with the defendant. During the trial the defendant sought to draw from the two ' physicians the statement made by plaintiff. This was objected to by plaintifi’s coun- sel, and the objection sustained. The supreme court holds that section 3643 barred out the evidence offered as well as the attempt to bring out plaintifi’s | s, statement by the evidencs of another shyslcunw o was a spectator, Confi- ential communications must be re- spected, says the court. The company, being beaten in the lower court, suc- ceeded better in thesupreme court. And here it is said that this company wins more cases in the supreme court than any other railway corporation in Iowa, in proportion to appeals taken, e —— Horsford's Actd Phosphate, Unanimous Approval of Medical Staff, Dr. T.

Revolutionists sentenced to hard labor,and also persons still awaiting their trial have to suffer here. Most of the prisoners have some education and belong to the better class. The cells are musty, wet, filled with bad odor, and poorly i i The uuunnllum-m ne, and only for a limited time the prisoners can {)runlhu fresh air. But by the slightest fault against the rules of the prison, the wretched creatures are deprived of this privilege., Most of the prisoners suffer from dysentery, scurvy, feebleness and inflammation of the eyes. Under such circumstances there 18 much mortality among the occupants of the cells, No caye is taken of the sick prisoners. Help- lessly they lie on unclean straw mat- trasses, until a keeper takes pity and cleans them, The imprivoned women, also, are un- der charge of gendarmes and jailors, and they are personally searched by them like men. It is said that a female named Terontjewa was outraged and afterward poisoned. By another rumor she re- ceived the poison instead of medicine. This is so much the more credible, as tho prisoners’ g ysician is is an old man of 80 years who can hardly walk. The old | w doctor's assistant is unly allowed to lrnnk to the prisdners in the presence of | on endarmes and ksapun, and is not of much account, His prescriptions are, as a rule, not attended to. Upon women affected with hysterial fits cold water is poured and they are gageed. Issajefi, the companion of Gratschewskij and Tuchanoff, went into frenzy. ‘The men' heads were closely shaved. Books ar not permitted, not even the bible. Some of the prisoners had to serve in this “‘modern bastile" the fourth part of their long penalty, More terrible still is the fate of those who are imprisoned in the vaults of the foitress section, Trublet- skoi-Ravelin,. Not a sun ray brightens these moldy caverns, where rats and ver- min add to the agonies of the unfortu- nate.
