Frnoit TUB IIKK'S MKCOT.X nunr.Au.1 Yesterday Deputy ShoriiT Fowler turned over to Raymond Bros , and 11. P. Law , wholesale grocers , the cargoes of sugar roplcvincil by them from the Union Pacific company , wbicli refused to accept the rate of transportation tend ered by the firms. Kach of these firms lind 875 barrels of sugar that they rcplov- mcd and it took n bond in the neat sum of $37,000 to got the goods. This Is the test care , as predicted by the llr.i : to come , and it Is now fairly in the courts where it will bo closely watched by more than local Interests. STAHTUNH TESTISIONY. Under this heading the State Journal yesterday gave a column space for the hypocritical mayor of the city to air him self and his spleen through n back odlco speech in ado by the mayor in the gamb ling case. The city attorney was trying { ho case for the city , the replevin case covering the gambling ilxturcs , and the case was being tried before a jury. The mayor , after the prosecution had made : i speech , addressed the jury himself , although he was not an attorney In the case nnd had not heard the evidence. Among attorneys n smile goes round at the anxiety of the rctorm mayor to exhibit himself , but Colonel Pliilpot , who was the opposing cousel , oll'orcd no objection , and the mayor made his speech , which Ito revised until Into in the night and had published to his own individual glory In the State Journal , which took great care not to publish any part of the testimony on the other side , or the reply that Colone * Plnlpot made to the bashful mayor. This reply , from those present who heard it is described as simply torrilic. Wher Colonel I'hilpot has as vulnerable a sub' ' jcetas a man of the cahhro of the mayor , no dissects right and left like 11 professor in a medical college. The colonel de picted the policy of the mayor in his act ? of pelf-glorification. Ho reviewed the mayor's double act on the Sunday or dinanccs , when ho proclaimed and lef the city until the itorm blow ever and the council helped him out with rovisci ordinances. The colonel called the mayo ; a hypocrite and oven harder names and cited proof to sustain his assertions All tliis part o ! the trial was carefully eliminated in the report published in th only alleged newspaper fn the city. It i a dawning and growing suspicion among n good many pcoplo that this entire ex hibiUon is but a well planned scheme o the mayor to advcrtiso himself ns a reformer former , and n great many people whc know the man and his record know thai such a course would bo very natural Una fact that would lead one to think that the mayor was searching for glory was that the raid over which the preson suits in replevin g ow was made on th night of Juno i0 ! , just prior ono day t the time when the law making gambling a felony caruu into effect , and which is law that will enforce itself. Under th < old law a long light in public courts was I certain to follow and it all gave the mayor a chance to poise for the last tlmo on the gambling question. What the re sults of the case may bo is yet un known. The jury in this case disagreed , standing three to throe yesterday when discharged , and in the afternoon another case ever the same matter was up in county court. Tlio law ami the ev idence in the casea obtainable will bo doubtless sufliciont to reach a verdictonu way or the other , and it is just as well to give the news and facts on both sides. COUNTY PUEMIUMS. Secretary Furnos , of the state board of agriculture , has issued a special circular calling attention to the premiums oflbrcd by-tho state board to counties for county displays at the coming state fair.

Cincinnati Enquirer : Ono of the most noted characters of Cincinnati , the "steeple climber. " died Thursday night at his homo , 70 iiank street. His name was Joseph Hodriguoz Weston , and for nearly thirty years he has boon climbing stocpies in this city. No point was too high and dizzy for him to reach and maintain his steady foothold. Of late years ho would undertake only these dif ficult feats that appalled others. It was his pardonable boast that he could go as high or higher than any other man. There arc many stories of his hazardous exploits in this city. The most notable , probably was the draping of the cathe dral spire on the night following Arch bishop Purccll's death. On the ground below wore 3,000 or 4,000 people eagerly watching for a glance at the daring man as the lightning Hashes revealed him on the dizzy height. Weston , when only 13 years of ago , had placed the tip on the same steeple. Another feat that was greatly talked about at the time was on the nighr. of July 3,1878. Weston climbed the spire of the Presbyterian church on Fourth street , the tallest in the city , and nailed fast the stars and stripes , 285 fcot from the ground. It was on this occasion that ho had a narrow escape. Weston had obtained from Mlctilo , the jeweler , n heavy gold chain , the like of which were solid . His chain , when ho was falling , held him for a brief moment , during ; ; which the climber succeeded in regain ing his hold. Another time , when Wcs- f ton was removing the timbers from the steeple of St. Xavicr , which had bcon burned ho struck reckon - , was by a falling on the head and slightly hurt. Weston . had a horror of going beneath the sur t face of the earth , ami would never do- ccnd into a cellar or cistern. Westou's father was named Rodriguez a Spaniard , who died soon after his son's birth. His widow afterward married a man named Weston , which name the boj > adopted. Young Weston's stepfather ! taught him to climb at an early ago , : Hildas he advanced in years his manj > dltlicult performances gave him a wide spread reputation. Ho was 41 years sDf ago when ho died. His son , now onlv i 13 years old , already bids fair to equal ? his father Iu aerial explols. itua ! BuffHlo lllll'a AVIfe. or Washington Special to the Now Yorli - World : While Uuttulo Hill has bcon as sociating with crowned heads in London a few residents of this city , who know m the pretty girl of Capitol Hill who mar , ricd Colonel Whitely of Kentucky , ras ir- lolt a young widow by his death , and wai irK married to Mr. Cody , have recalled ilaa K episode In the dashing frontiersman' : ! cu a reor.

Chicago Inter-Ocean : John Kollhor , a foreman in the employ of Crane Bros. , ran a rustv nail into his foot about an inch back from his big too , on May 90 lie washed the wound out with cold wntor , tied a piece of cotton ouer it , and in a day the foot was comparatively well nguin , the nail having just punctured the skin. Yesterday morning ho com - plained of a sore throat. When the physi cian whom ho had called upon to consult , asked him to open his mouth it was discovered that his jaws refused to perform their functions. Dr. J. H. Murphy was called in and at once pro nounced the malady a typical form ol traumatic lockjaw. The man was removed moved to his homo , No. 54 Ayriijlit street An hour later the tetanic grin sot in , and it became apparent that extreme meas ures had to be resorted to. A consulta tion between Drs. Murphy , Hartman and Satler resulted in the operation below described : Mr. Kollehor wan put undei the inllucnco of ether. The sponge had k barely been applied to the sufferer's nos - trils when the initial tetanic convulsion ! , displayed itself. Ho jumped from tin operating slab , and made a mad rush foi - the window. His jaws were set , his oyci protruded , and ho fought with i jren/.icd strength which the couibmec efforts of four men could hardh - overcome. Again ho was givoi the anmsthotlc , this time with snn elTi'ct. The lauco was then taken in hand , and an incision 4 inches long ida 3 Inches deep was made an Inch and i - half behind the hip bone. Thosclutii - uerver , which lies to the roar of the ball aud-socket joint , was then exposed. Hen a strong metallic sound was passed roe ncath the nerve , and it was stretohei downward from the spinal cord with i pressure of 175 pounds. The gosh wa then dressed with lodoform and antisop tics and sowed up. An incision U inchu - long was next mudo in the groin , tin knife cutting downward past thu femora p. artery until thu crural nerve was ex posed. Hero the sound was again used la und the nerro drawn downward fron ty thu spiuul cord with a pressure of lift ty ; pound ? . tya TJiU idea of treatment for lockjaw Is i new one , nnd was lirst successfully it- . tempted in the European medical )1so luges about aii months ago , and the cas .d. of Kelleher is probably the first otl'ort ii Is.ht the west. It was the left foot which wa ht injured. The two nerves treated TO , thoeo supplying locomotion andsonsatio from thu ncrvo center to the scat of ho wpumr.

A Wcstirn'city Council. Boston Advertiser : The decision of the state stipromo1 court of Iowa In the DCS Moines street railway case has opened the 0709 oftiunnv citizens of DCS Molncs to the extent of the powers vested In city councils , 'llioy know in a general way before that the council governed the city , but thay did not realize how far- reaching and despotic its ordinances might bo. The , ( Iowa State Register states the case with evident feeling , but there Is no reason to believe that it worps the facts. The details of the case are of slight concern to other cities , but the conclu sions fairly drawn from it arc of Interest to all. The Register declares that thu supreme court's decision reatlirms and makes more absolute the theory that the council Is the city , and not only for the time in which its members hold their terms of olllcc , but for thirty or lifty years if. it- chooses to so extend its power over the future. Un der the ruling of the Iowa court a council once oloctcd can bargain away absolutely the streets and alleys of a city for thirty years , or twenty-eight years beyond its own time , and make the nubile thoroughfares private property for the exclusive use of it priavato corpora tion. Under it a majority of that council , whether influenced by proper motives or otherwiro , can thus fetter a city and check its growth , as has been doiib with Des Moines now , and in no small degree , without the people of the city having ab solutely any redress. In the height of its Indignation at the subjection of the city , the Register unrea sonably finds fault with the judges for their interpretation of the law In the caso. It forgets that the supreme bench is not responsible for the existing powers of the council , but the lawmakers , who should have limited them. It is absurd , therefore , to cavil , as it does , at the ac tion of the court for "using iu great and final power to help fasten this thcoiy of a city council's powers upon Iowa. " The court could rightly admit no other consideration than the voice of the law to control their decision. Hut while we take iasuo with this course of the Register , wo think that its movement to limit the power of the city councils of lowiv is in iho right direction ; It is : i dangerous thing , as the Register says , to let a body of men whose term is for two years , niako contracts in the name of the city for thirty or fifty years , und dispose of city franchises with abso lute power1 In the east the powers of municipal governments have been clipped and fonco'l in for evident and urgent rea sons , and , like reforms in the west , are now in order. Wo believe fully in local Rolf-goyornmont , but proper chocks and balances will guard againgt abuses of the largo powers necessarily confided. FAMILIAR "AMERICANISMS. " An English Obfloqyer Points Out Dif ferences. Uu the Common 'ii ' Probably the' most frequent question which is p'ut to ! ' an * Englishman visiting these shores for'thtf ' lirst time , after hav ing grappled wit In the poser , is : "What do you think of America ? " "Do you Hud much difference in the dialects o : thu two countries ? " That there Is a difference ferenco nobody1 will deny ; but amonjr the rolincd classes 'in ' Now York , apar from certain il local expressions , ii Is far less jiotipoablo than wonlc have been cxpecteo The first thing Ilia1 would strike a Londoner is probably the lazy , familiar "Yo-nh" by which you are answered on alt sides by persons from whom , in England , you would expoc "Yes , sir ; " while j.'Soe hero" is also pe culiarly American. If the person yoi are addressing does not catch your "re mark , ho will startle you with "Wlni that ? " "WhPt is it ? " or "How ? " when h England he is accustomed toVhnt ? "Eh ? " or "Bee pardon ? " under similar circumstances. There is no exact corresponding ex pression in English for "to get loft" ant "to got there. " the nearest approael bring "to bo in the cart" and to put through. " The English never use the words "pro vlous" or "fresh" ( impudent ) ' "rare meat" ( underdone ) , "fleshy" ( slont ) , "dls patch"telegram ( ) , "full" ( tipsy ) , "homo ly" ( plain , addressed to persons ) . At American child will call her parent niara-a and pappa , and will cause a shout of laughter or a shocket look when she speaks of "bugs' for srdimiry insects , this torn being exclusively reserved in England for the "bed" species. It is hardly nec essary to allude to the use of the word "guess" ( Anglice , "I fancy , " or "I think" ) , as from time immemorial an- Englishman thinks ho has only got to "I " and talk his say guess" through nose to imagine ho is talking "real good Yan kee. " "Dudo" Is unknown in England , and no ono there would Know what was meant by a ' 'dry goods store" ( linen- draper's ) . Londoners have nothing grander than "house-porter" to correspond to "jani tor , " and would possibly bo puzzled to know what was meant by "a high-stoop house , " or an "English basement house. " They would also ask for the "lift" in place of the "elevator , " and would think it str.uigo not to have to go up ono flight to the "lirst" lloor , as in England they are accustomed to cull this latter the "ground lloor. " Such slangy ex pressions as "You make mo tired , "To blow you oft' , " "I feel a kinder good , " " 1 have had. a real elegant time , " are characteristically American. If you ask an American to take a drink , ho will reply , " 1 should smile , " the meaning of wnich is obvious , and ho may possibly offer to give yon "points" ( tips ) . on seme coming race. The word "boss" takes the place of our "governor , " cxeeot when a a London street Arab means to be - particularly polite and to gain your cus , tom for a box of lights , etc. , when noth ing under a "capt'n" or "my lord" Is good enough. The Americans pride themselves on speaking very correctly , and certainly It is only very rarely fhat ono hears an "h" dropped or put'iii the wrong place ; but , on the other hand , one constantly bears "Was you there ? ' < and the use of the word 'everywhere * " in its plural form.
