Another Vietim— Green Goods Dealers Get Into Trouble—Death o Mrs, 8, H. Emith—General and Personal, Diphtheria Claim . The Sheriff’s Case in Court. It does not frequently happen that the sheriff s made the defendant in a criminal especially on the charge of assault and battery, yet such was the case yesterday when Sheriff O'Neill was summoned before Justice Barnett to answer to a charge pro- forred by one Frank Grady. The facts in , a8 shown by the evidence intro- at Grady and his brother went Juil yesterday noon and wanted 10 sco Kelley and” Lowell, the two men who made such a desperate fight when arrested n Anderson of the merchants’ po iio larceny of clothing from saveral stores in this city a fow weoks ago. The two Gradys were strangers, and were as tough- looking Individuals as are often scen. The sheriff suspected that all was not right, and, in v of the fact that tools have been smuggled mto the jail on several occasions of lote, refused to allow the men to see the prisoners, when they asked to be allowed to “take them up some tobacco and see what counsel they wished to engage.' As Keliey and Lowell had already secured counsel tiic sheriff was convincod that some- thing was wrong, and ordered the strangers out of the building. They versisted 1n their demands and _continued to argue the case, until the sheriff’s patience was exhausted, when he slapped tiem both in the face and run them out of doors. 'This led to the filing of an information und the issuance of a war- rant. Messrs, Mynstor, Lindt peared for'the prosecution, and Sheriff O'Neill condueted his own case. The court room was flled, and the case was an amus. ing one for the spectators, The attorneys Sronsted” the shenfl, and the sheriff ro- 1it with interest, It was cvident that there was no ls lost between them, Lindt ed that there must be a_change in the were condiicted at the county I, aud O'Neiil told him to rest easy on thav as there would be a change, und that n attorncys who had been engaged in smuggling in letters and other articies would find th liberties considerably curtailed hereafter. When Lindt declared it an outrage that any one should be refusad the privilege of weeing a prisoner 1o jail the sheriff informed him that he need not be surprised, as he (Lindt) nad been ordered by a former jailer to keep away from the jail. Lindt climbed up on his tiptoes and brought his fist down with a whacic that knocked a splin the squire's desk, while he declarcd that the man who made such a statement tola what wus not true. “Didn’t Joe Morse order you to keep away from the 1" demanded the sheriff. No, he did 10t was the angry answer. Well, 1say he did, and he wjll swear to it,”” came the positive reply. Thereupon Mr. Seabrook concluded that his learned condjutor was not, ing along as swimmingly as could be desired and he arose and requested the court to have tho sheriff suppressed until counsel concluded his urgument. The sheriff said he did not want to deny anything except what was un- true, und Lindt ‘then concluded with un ap peal Lo the court to impose a tine of 3100, the waximum penalty allowed. In ruling on the case the court stated that the sheriff must have full control of the jail, as he was alone held responsible for the safe keeping of prisoners, and that he must rely on his own judgment in allowing par- ties to sco those in: confinement. He un- doubtedly had a right to order the prosecut- ing witness away and to enforce his order, but he did not. _believe it necessary in this case to use sufficient violence to constituto an_assault, He must therefore find him guilty, but in view of all the circumstances in the case he would make the penalty as light as possible, and inflict a fine of €5 and costs. T'he sherift promptly paid it, and the funeral was over. A number of spectators then held a post- mortem on the case, around the judge's desk, and decided that although the law might require the infliction of a fine the sheriff should huve been discharged and the case dismissed. Tho case opens up a ques- tion as to how far a sheriff 18 allowed to go in keeping suspicious characters away from the juil. J. G.

George F. Wright, one of the directors of the elec- tric motor compauy. “Why, I don’t believe they have served any papers yor," was the reply. “Mr. Stowart 18 sick and confined to his home, and they will have to serve papers on him. There 18 no question but that the puss system has been abused, and I told them a year ago just how it would terminate. I tell you aman who has never had any experience cannot handle the pass business and make a success of it. I know how it goes, for I had to issue tte passes for the old street car line for a num- ber of years, The first thing a man knows ho has everybudy riding on a pass. There are certain ones who are entitled to passes and po passes should be issued in any case where the company does not receive compen- sation in return. Passes have been issued to certain men and ‘party,’ and they have greatly abused their privileges.” Mr. Evans fecls sore, und psrhaps ho has reason to. He has done us much for the company and was and is as important a fac- tor as any of the stockholders or directors, and be naturally wants to receive as much benefit as any of the others, At the meeting a year ago Mr, Fvans' ofice of general man- agor was abolished, and he was left out in the cold, while Mr. N, W. Wells was made second vice president, Now the articles do not provide for any such office as second vice president, and the company does not need one, but they saw fit to elect Mr. Wells to that position and there he 18. What their object was I do not know, uunless it was to uso exchange passes, Yow see, the officers of the company are entitled to use the ex- thange passes, and of course Mr. Evans not being an oMcer could not come in.” “How about yoursel! in that relation” “Well, itdidn’t cut any flgure with me, because T had passes for all the travelug I wished to do, as nttorney for the railway companies, and the other directors raised ast me when opposad issuing of exchange passes, They said it was not right for a man who had all the passes he noeded to vote against other folks getting any, But as fur as this injunction 18 concerned, I ratber think the watter will be settled out of court, The aunual meeting will be beldon the 14th of January and new officers will be elected, and the pass question will probably be settled. I apprehend that certain passes will be 1ssued the same as at present, but the matter will be regulated and this issuance of passes by wholesale will bo sto) *Well, how about those whose passes ex- pire on the #1st inst.” wquired the deeply interested soribe,"” “1 rather guess they will have to walk or pay their fare for a couple of weeks, 1don't 8co any other way out of it unless this in- ’\mellon is dissolved pretty soon, and it don't 0ok much now as if that would be dona,’" el Ofcers of the Woodmen.

Tho clerk mixes that up for me properly and when I get it home I pour about a cupful of it into the basin aud wash the gloves init. If I have been wearing them a long time and they are very black, I have ready prepared two bowls, iu both of which is some spirits of wine slightly perfumed with lavender water, Through these I give them two rinsings, but if they are not very much soiled one rinsing will be sufficient. ‘I'hen I lay them on a ta- ble, and with a piece of soft white flan- vel I vub them smooth so that all the wrinkies from the washing disappear, and vhey become partially dry. fter which I streteh a cord across the corner of my dressing-room, in the light, but out of the sun and wind, and on this I hang them and let them dry for twenty- four hours, *'If the gloves are very thin and not of the first quality, I dvy them on my Ta., was | hands, slipping’{iem on and buttoning them, and scrobaing them briskly with a dry flannel to quicken the process of drying them.

For this purposo boiling has the special and additional advantage of insuring the destruction of any minuto germs of disease that might contaminate tho water. To soften water for washing,a com- mon and vory good remedy is the use of carbonate of soda (sal soda) in suficient quantity to bring down the lime and magnesia, and thus insure proper solu- tion of the sonp to form suds, says an ex- change. Only there 18 too often a mis- take made ~in not allowing time for the soda to bring down the lime and magnesia 1 a powdery form, which requires from half an hour to an hour when the water is cold, but occurs very qu when the water is hot. When, as is com- monly done, the soap is put into the water while thelime is still in the gel- atinous form and diffused in the water, a certuin amount of ‘“curdling” will still happen, and the washed clothes (especially flannels) will have thatsoggy and unpleasant touch which is caused by the accumulation of the lime and magnesia soaps in them, That it is undesirable to use soda for softening water to be used for drinking nardly needs moré than mention. The natural hard watevs usunlly contain quite as mueh of saline mat sirable in drinking water. Soda, how- eyer, does not in any manner correct the sanitary condition of a water; on the contrary, itaids in keeping vegets ble and animal matters in solution, unless added 10 very large excess 5 not interfere with the vitality of fungus or uther germs, A Pretty Handkerchisf Box. The material per box, sev- eral sheets of tissue paver, preferably dark and pale green, enough pale green ribbon with a picot edge to mukea pretty knot, a neat and skiliful hand and the eye of an artist, says the Amer- ican Agriculturist. The result is o pretty fancy article at a cost of 80 conts that will please your dearest friend by way of a birthday or Christmas gift, or will sell for as much as you can find 1t in your conscience to ask for itata church fair., Let the box be of stout pasteboard and of an appropriate shape and If you could get a mew cigar box it would be better than one of pasteboard, and I should despair of getting the odor of tobacco out of an old one. Crinkle the tissue paper by twisting it in o tight roll and then shaking it out. You can buy it crinkied, but the cost is shightly more, Cover the box inside with the pale green paper, sticking it neatly to the edges with mucilage.

Streteh o band of pale-green ribbon across the longest way of the box, paint ‘‘Handkerchiefs” on’it in gilt letters and fasten a knot of the ribbon a little to the left of the middle.

The weaving of an ordinary dress piece of eight yards, which is sufticient for a skirt undybudh.‘n. cost about $7.50. This sounds like a good deal for a peasant woman to give for a gown, but when it is remembered that a dress of this kind will wear twelveyearsand then make up into a petticoatythe expenditure does not seem out of harmony with the char- acteristic thrift/of the Welsh people. Chinese Methol "o Presevving Furs The best method to preserve furs from moths is, as is well known, fre- quent beating and combing in the open air and keeping them in a dry and cool room, The Russian fur dealers make genoral use of a preservative known as the Chinese moth tincture. Its brepar- ation is as follows: A handful of cam- phor and the broken shells of Spanish pepper, or small pounded coloquinths, are put into strong spirits. ''he whole is left standing for & few days in an oven, or in the heat of the sun, until the camphor has dissolved, after which the liquor should be strained, The fur is sprinkled all over with this liquor, then tied up well and put in new shirt- ing or strong linen. Fur, it is said, can kept in this way for years without any moths, » A Menu Card That May Be Eaten.

Theo cloth is ngw well handled in this liguid until every part of it is penetrated, then it is squeezed and dried in the airovina warm apartment, then washed in cold water and dried again, when it is fit for use. If necessary the cloth may be dipped in the liquid and dried twice before being washed. The liquor uppears cur- dled when the alum and d solutions are mixed together, This is the result of double decomposition, the sulphate of lead, which is an insoiuble salt, being formed. The sulphate of lead is taken up in the pores of the cloth, and it is unaffected by rains or moisture, and yet it does not render the cloth air= tight. Such cloth is also partly unin- flammable. A solution of alum itself will render cloth, prepaved as deseribed, partially waterproof, but it is not so good us the sulphate of lead. Such cloth—cotton or woollen—sheds rain like the thers on the back of a duck. Asto cost,alum is 8 cents per pound and sugar of lead about 20 cents per pound, and doubtless each could be had for less in quantities. Experience will tell the amount of liquor necessary for, say, a score of capes; but any way, the process will be founa to be sufficiently inexpensive and offecual, A “Nesu” of Table: The proper thing this winter for a hostess who plans to have *‘afternoons” and to entertain more than a very few people at a time is to beg, borrow, buy or have given to her a ‘‘nest” of tables, says the New York Morning Journal. ‘At an afternoon tea given in honor of Miss Davis, the daughter of the con- federate chieftain, a fortnight ago, the table nest when drawn apart proved to consist of four small gilded stands of sizes so graduated that the youngest, so to speak, was just able to stand erect under the top of number 8, number two covering both and the mother table brooding the entire family beneath its wings. 2 T'hese tables were all Touis Seize re- productions, simply rectangular in shape,gilded ana burnished and painted with shepherdesses leaning pensively over brooks, courtiers dancing atteua- ance on pink and white ladies who toy with fans, ete., each table top signed by o French artist of repute, whose name lent it additional value. Next to tables the woman of 1880 sets her heart on ottomans, says the Phila- delphia Times. The foot cushions which kicked about our half-lighted parlors all last winter for careless men to trip over have entirely disappeared and in their room we have unusually large and elaborately upholstered ottomans., * Heavy gilt is replacing last season’s white umf gold, and for upholstery ma- terials there are gobelin tapestries in the Louis Quatorze taste and heavy lampas, brocades and brocatelles in light colors, with scroll or flower de- signs, in the manner of Louis XVI, To Remove P 13 Four pounds of Irish moss, three pounds of methylated spirits and three pounds of water, the whole boiled, and a solution of sixteen pounds of caustic potash dissolved in (.wum.y-als(ht pounds of water added, after which the product is stirred until it is cold aod has solidi- fied to & brownish, gelatinous muss, The propo: tions of the ingredients may be varied, The compound is used .bg applyiog it to the painted surface wit!

Many will ask, but how few outside the legal profession can define. And yet the law of nuisance rests on one of the most fundamental principles of govern- ment, which is that every man shall so use his own as not. to injure another in the enjoyment of his rights. We call governmenta “‘social compact.” In the savage state society is a junglo for wild beasts. in which every rattlesnake has an inalienable right to bite, where hfe is a battle—a struggle for existence. Society is organized to do away with this life-and-death struggle and to guarantee to all equal rights. We form a social compaet. 1 give up my liberty to murder you, and you give up your liberty to murder me. Your hobby may be a hog pen,another’s a cesspool, mine a slaughter houso; but we mutually give up our liberty to injure one another with _our hog pens, cesspools and slaughter houses. Strictly speaking, so of property injurious or ng to anothe his is @ nuisance. Two things ave necessary to constituto a nuisance: A right and an injury. No matter how much vour fine taste may be violated by the archif ural structure of your neighbor’s house ivis not a nuisance because no right is violated. So I may not like the looks of ut I can look the other howeve our pig pen sive odo anuisance, ry man has ght to pure air. must be not simply a viola- tion of a right to constitute a nuisance, but the violation of the right mustmako somebody uncomfortable, One cannot urge that he is cspecially dainty or fas- tidious, but amy use of property which renders uncomfortable a plain, or- dinary Amorican is a nuisance. The nuisance need not be injurious to health, TItis enough if it is annoying to the senses. Nuisances are sometimes classified as public, pri- vate and mixed—the latter being a public nuisance in which some private person is entitled to special damages for some special injury. Nuisances are also classified as Hl)unhmncus per se—in themselves, and (2) occupations which may become nuisances through neglect or impropor uses. Decaying mattor is a nuisance in itself; a slaughter house may become so because of its improper location. Most nuisances may be clussi- fied as violations either of our rights to pure air or pure water. Every man has a right to air uncontaminated by nox- ious vapors, odors or noises. — Headache, neuralgia, dizziness, nervous ness, spasms, slooplessness, cured by Dr. Miles' Nervine.
