As Manifcsteil Particularly by-he Poll ticians in the MaisbslSuip QMS- lion- Gubernatorial Aspirations Import nt Federal Court Decisions nml Other Items oi Interest. DCS Moinei Correspondence 1'loneer I'ross , It ia understood the democratic fiasco over the appointment of 0. L , Williams as United States marshal has culminated In referring the matter to Judge Love , ot the federal court , who now holds the commission issued to Williams. That Is rather an embarrassing position to phco a man of the habits of Jndgo Love , who tikes no part in poUlca. It Is trno ho is a democrat , but not an of fensive partisan , ilia personal choice is Judge Campbell , and there Is no question that Campbell Is really entitled 10 It , ns politics and aoolls of ollico go. If it bo lot to Judge Live to dooldo , ho will to turn Williams' commission to the presi dent , but whether ho will recommend Campbell , la another matter The demo crats are casting about for gubernatorial timber , which seems to bo ecarce. Fur- nlohtng the corpse lor a politlcil funeral is not attractive. Hon. John F. Dun- combo , of Fort Dodge , refuses. Jerry Murphy , of Davenport , thinks there Is moro fun In congress. "Dick" llichardeon , of Davenport , h going around the world ; George J. Boall of Iowa City , doesn't ECO any gloiy In It , and now they are trying to petauado Nat II. Merrill , of Clinton to make the oacrnGcj. As ho weighs about 350 pounds ho wou.d show up well , but ho is too old a bicd to bo caught with tally. Ho has boon in the legislature too much , but they could find many a worse candidate than ho would be. If Judge Kinno don't ' got something fiom the president soon it Is likely ho will consent to mount the pyre again. During the week the uamo of Hiram Price , of Davenport , haa been mentioned by re publicans as a candidate Although ono of the ablest men in the state , ho would bo hotly antagonized by every anti-pro- hlbltlon element in the state , no matter what platform the party might adopt. Gen. Joeiah Given of this city ia also frequently mentioned. Ho was a sol dier In the Mexican war , In the late war , was formerly a member of the legislature and Is now judge of the circuit court. Ho is ono of thu best stump orators in the state , and oiio of the beat lawyers. He is urged principally by the soldier clement-nith nLlch hois very popular. FEDERAL CODKT DECISIONS. The folcral court has rendered several important decisions at this term. That of the Chicago , Rock Island & Pacific railroad , involving over § 1,000,000 , was a petition sot np by l\lk & Hnbbel ot nl. for a reversal of the decree of fore closure of what Is known as the Winter- sot branch of the Rock Island , or , legally , the Dos Molncs , Indianola & Missouri railroad , en the ground that the dccroo vras procured through connivances with B. F. Alien , president of the company , who wai a director in the Bock Island , and that the petitioners were judgment creditors. Jndgo Miller held that the judgment held by petitioners was a part Aliens bankrupt estate , and they having assented to the decree , they entirely waived the claims they now sot up. Hav ing slept on their rights If they had any for five years , they are debarred from court now. Another casa wai that of Wolker Given , private secretary to the governor , who wanted the Western Union Telegraph company to pay him $25,000 for negli gence in delivering a messigo of import ance. In February , 1884 , ho started far Marshalltonii , and soon r.ftcr ho left a telegram was received hero calling him to Chicago that night to moat parties who ' lad a $4,000 position to give him The lotsago waa sent to his residence and de- vered to his wife , who laid it aside un- iponed. Several hours after his father ont to the house , opened the mcssigo , nd trircd Walker the message , which as not delivered until the next morning , .hough ho gave orders to have it delivered , t his hotel at once. It was then tcp late p go to Chicago , and he lost the position. 'ud o Miller decided that Given contrib- ted to the delay of tbo telegraph com- any in not inf jrming hia family where a was going , and siiKRcetad that ho ought to ba on moio confidential terms rith his wife ; " that It was not the duty I the company to notify the Rgent at Dea Moines that Marshalltown was not n tght office ; therefore , there was no ne Igcnca in the delivery of the message hero ; that Given contributed to his own .ogligenco In not telegraphing Chicago at nco on roolpt of the message the facts u the caao , and requesting suspension of tton pending his arrival. The statement made last week that the Gllddon patent on barbed wlro had ox lired is erroneous , It does not expire 'or several years , It covers the placing a barb ou a wlro , ana as there cannot be a barbed wlra fence without a barb , the patent covers an Important point. The device or machine for putting the barb on the wire Is another question , and the court said the Penny machine did not Infringe on any claims of Waahburn , Moeu it Co. , but the Putnam machine did. The lawyers in the case went to Kansas City Tuesday , to moot Judge Brewer and make np the decree. CONDEMNS 1118 OWN LAW. Jndgo Scovors , in the dissenting opinion in the state auditor case , holding the law unconstitutional , repudiated his own bantling. Ho waa a member of the legislature In 1858 when the law WAS piased , The democratic state superin tendent of public Instruction had , just prior , borrowed for his own use $150,000 of the public sshool fund , and forgot to return it. To protect the interests of the people , James F. Wilson , * now United States senator , prepared that law , and It was pwsod under a suspension of rules , Judge Seovors voting for it. It went to the senate , where an amendment was added. It went back to the boueo , and again Judge Seevera voted for It. When the revision of the cede was made In 1873 , Jndgo Seevera waa made chairman of the commission , and that Uw was doomed eo coed the judge made It a part of the code , and by aim reported to the legitlatnro , when ho again voted for it. If it was a good law then , the methods by which tbo judge reaches his prciunt conclusions would in terest tbo people. The incident shows , at least , hovr little regard is had by llgls- htcrs to laws they consider. BITS OF ( iOBSII' . Mrs. Mary Fogarty , aged 103 years , died hero on Monday. The was born it : Queens county , Iieland , In 1781 , and cuuio to this place in 1854. She was the mother-in-law of Old.

Mrs. Fognrty was in good health and the en joyment of nil faculties up to the llmo of her disease. She conld read without glasses , nnd was never sick. There ara now bnt two centenarians in the state. Farmers throughout the state ropart great mortality of carp in their fish ponds , some loiing their entire clock , though the ponds did not froeza to the bottom , nnd airholes were kept open during Iho winter. It Is probable the catting cf the nlrholos caused the tronblo as carp hibernate inwinter In the soft muddy bottom of the pond , and catting of holes disturb them when they should bo nt rest , lu some of the ponds fish at three years' ago weighed seven pounds.

Barnes does not expect to carry off the gate recalpti , but ho does count upon winning Hughes' money. The fight occurs Thursday night at the St. Paul Market hall. The Thompson- Wilson match Is booked for Monday night at the same place. Considerable money has been wagered on the result. So far Thompson has the call on the bet ting , but Wilson is not wanting backers. Cardiff will remain until of tor the fight , and as its result is known will challenge the winner.

A NEW MOVE , Tlio SnloonlstBVnnt to Go Into Undo Sum's Court * , Thtra was much Interest taken ycalor day in the proceeding before Judge Con nor , in the saloon Injunction cms pond' ' ing before him. Motions for a change ol venue , on the ground of the prejudice ol the judge , had boon filed , and It was ex pooled that the arguments would bo upon these motions , but on coming Into contl yesterday morning the attorney for the defendants took a change of tactics and withdrawing the motions for changes of vinno , filed a far dillorcdt notion , It being to have the cues transferred to the federal court. The reasons sot np for having the caics thus sent into the United States court were numerous , and eob forth at great length , It was claimed that the consti tution of the United States granted the cltl.9tia certain rights which the state prohibitory law wns in conlllct with. It was claimed that the rights granted undo this federal constitution were aongot to bo abridged under the prohibitory law , and among tlieao wan the right to trial by jury , and that no property could betaken taken or destroyed except by duo pro cess of law. It was also claimed that the state had pasted a law which favored cor- teln classes of oitizsna , and that this was repugnant to the federal constitution. Those points were argued at great length by Mr. J. N. Baldwin , on the put of the defendants , and by Mr. Jac bSIras , the attorney retained by the prohibitory alllanca. The defendants' attorney put great stress on the claim that the defense having sot up a plea which involved the rights under the con stitution of the United States , the United States court was the proper tribunal in which to have the question settled , and whether the dofonao was good or not was not a question for the circuit judge to pass upon , but ono for the federal court to decide , and his duty was simply to Bond the ( Dies there. Mr. Sims made a strong argument against this position , and most of the day was thus consumed in discuialng law-points. PEUSONAIi. B. P. Clayton was in the city yesterday.

"I was making a trip through Sullivan county list week/ ' raid John Gilbert , the traveling mm , and , driving by a barn on a film near Sackott pond , 1 saw a lot of big rat skins nailed on the side of It. 1 stopped and counted 'cm. There wore twenty one. " 'IIolio11 ! shouted to the farmer , who was at work near the barn. 'What dc you do with these rat skins ? ' " 'Nothln' ' ' said 'them's , he , SnorterV scalps. ' " 'Ohl1 I said. 'Snojtor's your dogl " 'No , he ain't , ' replied the farmer , 'Snorter's my beat rooster. ' " 'Yon don't moan to s y you've got i chicken that kills rats ? ' I said. " 'Them's his skins/1 said the farmer , "Well , if there was a rnt-kllliojj rooster In the country I wanted to 10 it , so I asked the farmer If ho woul : show him to mo. Ho said ho would , and I jumped out of my wagon and won with him. Ho took mo around to another barnyard and pointed out the rooter amoug a flock of hens and othct roasters. The ratter was a blgrod _ rooster , standing at least two foot bigh , and looking as If ho might bo strong enough to got aw&y with a fox. " 'Dunno what 'is pedigree isald th farmer. 'I bought an old hen thrc yours ago , with a brood of threc-waeks old chickens , The Snorter was ono ol 'om , Mid there ho fa. I dnnno how many unro rats bo's killed than then tTonty-ono on the barn , for It's only a year ago that ho was a ratter , I WAI walkin' along by the yard hero ono day when I hoard a great oicklln' mnongit the chickens , and the loud equoalln' of a rat that there wasn't no doubt ho was In trouble. I looked , au" see that the big rooster was tuggln * away llko mad at r1 rat's tall , which ho had kotohed as th rat was skippin' Into a hole under the barn , After two or thrco steady jerks out como Mr. Rat , an * quicker than 1 kin tell yo , the rooster swung It up over his head and clapped it with all his might agin' that big stone by the side o' the barn. Ho whacked It three times , an' then chucked the rat away. There wasn't no inoro Ufa nor backbone loft in it than there Is in a wet dish-rag , SIncp then wo'vo found twenty moro big rats in the yard. Every tlmo wo found ono we'd find a fresh spattern' o' blood on the big stone , and BO wo know'd that Snortor had done it. So wo nailed their skins on the barn as wo got 'om , and thoy'ro known all over the country as Snorter's ' scalps. "I noticed that there waa a big patch } f feathers misting , from the rooster's back , and that they were pretty well ihinnod out on hia nock and ono wing , [ asked the farmer what had caused the dnnnco. " 'Big chicken hawk/ said the farmer. 'That was the nicest lltilo tussel I ever see. Last frock ono of the bipgcst hanks that over lived was hanglu' 'round hero , Bsllin * about most o' the tlmo with his eye on my barnyard. Ono day I stood over in that field there , when all of a snddcnt I BOO sunthln' droppin' down out o' the sky like a big stone square in the direction cf the barnyard. In a second I know'd It was that old hawk , and I started on a run for the yard. When I got there the allfirediat hullabaloo was goln' on among the chickens that I ever listened to , and there was Snortor with his jaws fastened on the hawk's neck , and jtst a llftln' him in the air and swat- tin' him down on that rock yonder , like my old woman might whack the dnat out'n a door mat. That hawk wa'nt fur from boln' as big as the rooster , and the Snorter found out that ho hadn't tackled np dnrn sqnekln' rat. The hawk thrashed his wings about , and clawed with his toes till the rooster's feathers flow around that yard llko dead leaves in a gale. But Snoiter had the grip o' that Iron jaw o' his on the hawk's gullet , and after ten minutes or so the chlckon-sloaler'a calo ric give ont , and then the rooster soon pounded the life oub'n him. I'm bavin' the hawk's skin stuffed , and that'll bo a scalp worth srowln' . 4 Old Snorter won't have no fightln' ' goln' on 'round his prcmhoj that ho don't do hlsself. Sometimes some o' the young roosters trios to settle some grudge by a little sparrin' match 'twist theiraelves , but if the old boss IB around ho breaks that light up. Ho just elides over to where the young fellowa Is whackln' away at ono another , and swats ono this way , and t'other ono that way , and jaws and swears at 'om as good as if ho spoke English. The other day ho broke up a fight , bub ho hadn't no sooner walked away when the two youngsters was at It ag'in , tooth and spur. Then Snortor walked over , nndkotched ono o' the rooj- ters by the back o' tbo nock and carried him oat o' the yard , fly In1 on the fence with him and droppin' him on the other side. Ho kep' that rooster outside all day , and the naxt day everything was as peaceable as a Sunday-school picnic. "He's a queer old CUES about family matters , too. When Q hen hatches out her brood she's got to pass the -whole lot if 'cm right over Into Snorter's charge , , nd he looks after 'cm llko a mother , 'hia ' rather breaks the hens nil up , and eo o have to take all the old hens with ihlckcQs and put 'om away by them elves. That rooster hain't got his match m the American continenttnid the 'armor , 'and the man that can buy him on't live. ' "A great many curious things happen p in Sullivan county , " concluded John jilbert , "according to the natives. " MEXICAN 310TK. \ .

Bill was a rattling dealer , good hand at short cards , and always ha a pocket foil of money till ho got atrucl on Mf xican monte , "Talk about your Greaser's Infatuation for the gamo. I never saw ona of then that could hold a marker to Bill. Ho' uot broke. Then he'd got a pack of card and deal himself. Ho'd turn the card for anybody or for anything when ho was busted. Sometimes ho'd make a raise and quit and go to playing faro , where ho was as a rule , lucky. But no sooner would ho Rot a big stake then ho wonld tackle monte , and would Invariably got downed. Us boys tried to peraundo him to stick tea a whlto man's game , but no ho wouldn't have It , and was almost all the time in a chronic state of Impecnnloslty. Ono day Bill had established himself In a pulque shop with his cards , and was turning them for anybody who wanted to wager a cent. There was a party of Mex ican bleeds in the room , and finally they sauntered over to Bill's table/and asked him If ho wanted to turn for S100. Bill said ho wonld , though ho didn't have but § 10 In the bank. The follow lays down his money , and Bill wins. That made the Mexican road , and lie slaps down another. Bill wins again , The third time , and Bill ccaopod the pile. "The Mexican aiked Bill if ho wonld turn him for $1,000 , and Bill told him it didn't raako any difference if ho made II a million , na that bank was able to pay ten times that amount. The Mexican bet end lost , They accused Bill escheating , Bill called htm a liar.
