The body oi R. S. Mansfield , the

has been brought to his home on Sixth
avenue , near Tenth street , in this city.
The death of Mansfield was a peculiar
ono. In setting a brake ho fell onto
eome agricultural machinery which was
loaded on an open cur , but it did not ap
pear that ho was seriously injured in
the fall. A little later , however , as ho
' ' was in the caboose , ho suddenly died.
f * It is amusing to note the manner in
which the official record is made up in
' regard to the award of the printing. It
states that the contract for binding was
lot to the Nonpareil , "it being the low
est bidder. " The motion to lot the con
tract for the printing to the Glebe docs
not say "it being the lowest bidder. "
The record is as silent on that point as
arc the democratic supervisors when
asked why they thus give away about
700 of the tax-payers' money. The
Avoca Mall is conceded to have bid
about 9700 loss than the Glebe , but the
supervisors wore afraid the Avoca
printer might lose money by U. The
bond of 92,600 which ho filed was security
enough for the county.

Coffinnii Not Gnlltjr.
The jury in the Coffman coso , after
being out all night , returned a verdict
yesterday morning finding CofTman not
guilty. In other words the killing of
Jack Main was deemed by them justifia
ble. When the jury first retired the
ovcgnln before , an informal ballot was
taken and the ballot stood six to six.
Then a formal ballot was taken , and
stood cloven for ncquittAl to ono for con
viction. This ono hold out until some
time later , and then the verdict ot ac
quittal was agreed to by the twelve.
This verdict was what was expected
by nearly all who had heard the evi
dence , or were familiar with the facts.
The cnso has excited much public
attention from the prominence
of ho defendant , A. W. ' Coffman ,
an old and wealthy citizen
of Avoca. There has been much zeal
shown by a few residents of Avoci > , hos
tile to Coffman- and in the minds of
many the prosecution had grown into a
good deal of persecution. The bitter
ness which has characterized the at
tempt to have Coffman convicted has
turned public feeling rather in his
favor , and the verdict of acquittal is
therefore the more gratifying. The
evidence in the cas > o is looked upon as
fully warranting the verdict. It was in
fact seriously contemplated when the
state rested , for the defciibo to rest also ,
and let the cabo bo decided upon the
testimony of the prosecution wholly.
This indicates how strong was the con
fidence that Coffman would bo acquit
ted.
ted.It is hoped by many that now that
this verdict has forever set at rest the
question of the guilt or innocence of
Coffman that the turmoils which have
afforded so many newsy items from
Avoca will conic to an end. Those who
have felt hostile towards the defendant
ought to bo pretty well satisfied , for ho
has buffered it good deal during the past
two years , having been dragged through
two trials , the former ono resulting in
a disagreement. He has been made
defendant in several other suits grow
ing out of this , and the numerous com
plications have kept him on a cons-Unit
nervous strain , besides putting him to
great cxpcnbo and loss of time.
Mr. Coffmnn and his family were at
the Kiel hotel yesterday , and were re
ceiving numerous congratulation * on
his acquittal.

A Dressed " Kid. "
If any criminal case can bo termed
amubing , that.of John Leonard , who
has numerous aliases , proved so in the
district court ye.storday. Leonard is
better known as "The Kid. " Ho has
served several jail terms and has been
the cause of numerous sensations. John
Dunn , while on the police force , tried
to arrest him once about three years
ago , and , the fellow running , Dunn shot
to frighten him , but instead aimed hot
ter than be know and lodged a bullet in
the fleshy part of the fellow's thigh.
Ho stopped. The latest charge against
'The Kid1' is that ho passed s.aws , files ,
drills , etc. , into the county jail through
the south window in order to
give the confidence man , Ed
wards , the means of escaping. Sheriff
O'Neill captured the contraband articles
and the grand jury indicted the "Kid. "
It was his trial on this charge which
took place yesterday , and resulted in his *
being found guilty. Ho admitted having
pas-sed in through the window tobacco
and whibky , but drew the line at baws
and files. Ho even went so far as to
explain the e.xact way in which he used
to binugglo in the corn juice and nieo-
tine nccebbity. Ho would get a half-
pint bottle of whisky , and some tobacco ,
put them in a little sack , and then
reaching through the lirbt sot of bars ,
would swing it back and forth until it
swung far enough for the boys inside to
catch on.
Ono of the witnesses in the case , on
the part of the state , was Schislcr , who
has been locked Up for sixteen months
waiting for his trial for the murder of
Keating. Ho swore that he saw the
fellow pass in the tools , and a request
was made to have them given to Ed
wards. The tools wore used in sawing
ono of the bars , but nrompt discovery
prevented any jail break.
An attempt was made on the part of
the defense to prove that Schisler had
told some of the other prisoners that a
woman passed those tools in. For this
purpose , two men awaiting sentence
for norse stealing , Witmore and Adams ,
wore put on the stand , but they could
not remember that Schisler had over
said anything of the sort.

No Strike Out Yet.
Advices received by "Q" officials in
this city yesterday point toward the
success of the railroad company in the
present strike. The following dispatch
was received by General Agent Mar
shall from Gcnoral.Managor Merrill :
I am officially advised from Chicago , where
our president now Is , that the report ot an
intended settlement between the strikers and
the company is entirely without foundation.
We shall stand by our now men , and they
cun expect to hold their present positions as
long as they obey our rules.
A regular freight , No. 14 , arrived
yesterday afternoon. Another freight
was sent out at 6 o'clock. Everything
about the yards was quiet and orderly.
A report was circulated that a squad of
Pinkerton men , armed with Winchest
ers , came in on the Rock Island
Wednesday evening , and after drilling
for a while proceeded west. Another
report was that twouty-fivo Reading
engineers with their firemen wore
brought in two same evening , and quar
tered nt private houses about the city.
Mr. Marshall denied both reports , and
said that there was absolutely no
Authority for thorn. Ho informed a BEE
reporter that it was really surprising to
see the number of old and reliable en
gineers who arc applying for 'positions.
Tunes have been rather hard for them
a.nd they had resolved to quit railroad
ing , but the present opportunity came
just in the nick of time for thorn , and
they n6w apply for places , bringing
their letters and certificates with them.
The strikers on the other hand , are
equally confident that the contest will
bo disastrous to the railway comjrimy.
They say that now men , green hands ,
nro already doing so much damage and
causing so many accidents that the road
Oannot stand it long.

where current , and found ready ex
pressions that at this time especially ,
the best men should bo elevated to the
positions of trust to bo tilled at the
pending election. With such men as
these upon the ticket it was thought
that oven in the municipality the re
publican party has n fighting chnnco.

At the last incetingof the city council
iresolution was introduced in the inter
est of the traveling public. It origin
ated in the present strike on the Chicago
cage , Burlington & Quincy and the em-
iloymcnt of alleged incompetent men
: o run their passenger engines. This
I'Cbolution embraces the gist of this
matter and provides a remedy. It pro
vides , foutho creation of a board of ex
aminers by the council , which ap
pointees -nro to be designated by this
lody. The board shall bo duly ac
credited engineers and shall do their
duty without favor to person or corpora
tion. Every person now running an
engine , or who shall hereafter do so ,
upon any road inside the corporate
limits of the city , shall appear before
this board for examination as to ability
Lo perform the duties of their positions
If qualified their names are to bo regis
tered and a certificate shall bo issued to
them. If they are incompetent
such credentials shall bo withheld.
Violation of this ordinance imposes a
fine of $500 or sixty days imprisonment
in the county jail , or both , aUtho discre
tion of the court before whom the case
may bo brought.
The resolution was referred to a com
mittee , and is to comp up next Satur
day evening for adoption. It is claimed
that the council has no right to enforce
biich an ordinance if it should enact it ,
and the prediction is made that the
council will not make the attempt.

A "Sonb" Engineer.
Last evening about 7:30 : o'clock the
outgoing passenger train on the Chicago
cage , Burlington & Quincy collided
with a freight train at the Wabnsl
crossing , about half a milo below the
Milwaukee roundhouse. The Wabash
switch engine was taking sovora
freight cars up to the transfer at the
time of the collision , and instead o
stopping at the crossing the "Q" ' train
smashed into them. The en
gineer on the passenger train was
formerly a brnkoman in the employ o
the C. B. & Q. , and has occupied an en
gineer's position since the present strike
has been in effect. Some of the freight
cars were badly smashed and the tender -
dor of the Wabash engine was thrown
from the track. The Burlington engine
was thrown from the track and dis
abled. The Wabnsh track , was cleared
in a short time , but the Burlington
company had a force nt work sev
eral hours getting their , track open ;
the forward truck on the Burlington en
gine was badly smashed , and the drivers
twisted out of shape. It will have to
undergo extensive repairs before mak
ing another trip. A few more such les
sons ought to convince the now engi
neers that ono train at a time is all that
can bo safely depended upon to occupy
a crossing.

BILL NYE AT THE BANK.
to be Idciitilled by the Bank
1 llOHS.
New York World : About this time
I was calling at the First Natinoal bank
of Chicago , the greatest bank , if I am
not mistaken , in America. I saw the
bonds securing , its issue of national
currency the otncr day in Washington ,
and I am quite sure the custodian told
mo it was the greatest of any bank in
the union. Anyway , it was sufficient ,
so I felt like doing my banking busi
ness there whenever it became handy
to do so.
I asked for a certificate of deposit ot
$2,000 , and had the money to pay for it ,
but I had to bo identified. "Why ? " I
said to the receiving teller , "surely you
don't require a man to bo identified
when ho deposits money , do you ? "
"Yes , that's the idea. "
"Well , isn't that a now twist on the
crippled industries of this country ? "
"No ; that's our rule. Hurry up ,
plenso , and don't keep men waiting who
have money and know how to do busi
ness. "
"Well , I don't want to obstruct busi
ness , of course , but suppose , for in
stance , I get myself identified by a man
I know and n man you know and a man
who can leave his business and come
hero for the delirious joy of identifying
mo , and you admit that I nin the man I
claim to bo , corresponding as to de
scription , age , sex , etc. , with the man I
advortisu myself to bo , how would it bo
about your ability to identify yourself
as the man you claim to bo ? I go all
over Chicago , visiting all the large
- houses in search of a man
Fork-packing
know , and who is intimate with lit
erary people like mo , and finally wo will
say I find ono who knows mo and who
knows you , and whom you know , and
whocnn leave his leaf lard long enough
to como hero and identify ; mo all right.
Can you identify yourself in such a way
that when I put in my $2,000 you will
not loan Uout on insufficient security ,
as they did in Cincinnati the other day ,
as soon as I go out ot town ? "
"Ohwo don't care especially whether
you trade hero or not , so that you hurry
up and lot other people havp a chance.
Where you make a mistake is in trying
to rehearse a picco hero instead of
going out to Lincoln park or somewhere
in a quiet part of the city. Our rules
are that a man who makes a deposit
hero must bo identified. "
"All right. Do you know Queen Vic
toria ? "
"No. sir ; I do not. "
"Well , then , there is no use in dis
turbing her. Do you know any of the
other crowned heads ? "
"No ' sir. " '
"We'll , then , do you know President
Cleveland , or any of the cabinet , or
senate or members of the house ? "
"No. " (
"That's it , you see. I move in ono
sot and you in another. What respect
able people do you know ? "
"I'll have to ask you to stand aside , I
guess and give that throng of people a
chance. You h vo no right to take up
my time in this way. The rules of the
blink are inflexible. Wo must know who
you are oven before we accept your de
posit. " ,
I then drew from my pocket a news
paper which contained a voluptuous pic
ture of myself. ' Removing my hat and
making a court salaam by letting out
four additional joints in my lithe and
versatile limbs , I asked if any further
identification would bo necessary.
Hastily closing the door of the vault
and jerking the combination , ho said
that would bo satisfactory. I was then
permitted to deposit in the bank.

is throe yards and a fourth In with , and
it comes down to his anklco. The gown
has a narrow hokn around the bottom
and n broad ono straight down the front.
At the top it IB ganged to a yoke , which
is short on the shoulders and forms a
( Icon scallop at the back. The yoke bus
a silk lining between the outside and

The sleeves are a yard and a
fourth wide and reach to the hands.
The lining of the sleeves is formed by
doubling the material at the bottom ,
turning it up on the insldo and plaiting
it about n quarter of a yard above the
bottom to a narrower silk lining , which
nicely fit the justice's arm. Tills ar

sleeve appear to be a wide loose puff.
The sleeves are gauged to the yoke on
the shoulder with many rows of gaug

deep.
A new gown on the bench is subjected
to as critical an examination by the
wearers of older gowns as a woman's
Easter bonnet at church is popularly
supposed to be. Justice Miller's gown
was made in Paris , but all the rest of
the Justices wear the product of domes
tic fingers and homo industry. A Wash
ington woman , whose hair has turned
from black to white in the forty years
that she has been making these gowns
for the supreme court , received Justice
Lamnr's first order. Justice Field had
a brand new gown nil ready to put on
when the now justice came to take the
oath , and ho lent it to Mr. Lamnr for
the occasion.
A Reprieve for the Cominncd. .
Wretched men and women long con
demned to suffer the tortures of dyspep
sia , are filled with now hopes after a
few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. This budding hope blossoms into
the fruition of certainty , if the Bitters
it * persisted in. It brings a reprieve to
all dyspeptics who seek its aid. Flatu
lence , heartburn , sinking at the pit of
the stomach between meals , the ner
vous tremors and insomnia of which
chronic indigestion is the parent , disap
pear with their hateful progenitor.
Most beneficent of stomachics ! who can
wonder that in so many instances it
awakens grateful eloquence in those
who , bcnotittcd by it , speak voluntarily
in its behalf. ' It requires a graphic pen
to describe the torments of dyspepsia ,
but in many testimonial received by the
proprietors of the Bitters , these are
portrayed with vivid truthfulness. Con
stipation , biliousness , muscular debility ,
malarial fever , and rheumatism are re
lieved by it.
