day passed upon a noted case in Iowa litig'u-
t'on. ' It practically confirms the right of
counties and cities to make public Improvements
monts and assess the cost to the property
bonollttcd. The supervisors of Muscutinc
v county ton years ago built n lovco along the
Mississippi river for a distance of twelve
i ' nillcs , and assessed the cost to the farms thus
protected. The owners refused to pay , and
appealed to the supreme court. The court
held that the building of the lovco was ille
gal , because not authorized. The Twontv-
flrat general assembly then passed a .special
net legalizing that work. A second appeal
was taken to the supreme court , and now the
.court overrules the constitutional question
" > involved , and afllrms the right to muKo the
assessment.

Icnry Winters was the late postmaster , but
as noon a ? Postmaster-General Wanatnakcr
assumed his duties Henry Indcrlled was ap-
lolntcd to supcrccdo the former incumbent ,
L'ho usual blank bond was mailed from
Washington to Indcrlled. This was executed
and romallcd at Cochccton , but never reached
ho postofllco department. Corrcspondcnco
roai Congressman Stovers also failed to
reach Mr. Indorllcd. Suspicion arose that
iVIntcrs was suppressing the letters from
iVashlnglon and from Congressman Sto
vers , together with tlioso sent to the
low appointee. It was only by the use of
ilaln envelopes addressed In u disguised
land to other parties that Indorllcd could
obtain any Information , and his second bond
van mailed nt another pontonico from
Cochccton. Ills commission as postmaster
vas mailed from Washington on the 8th

and Winters soon gave In. In the letter's

AN laU'ORTANT SUIT.
Ono Designed to Make Confcsfdnn of
Judgment Holders DlHzorgc.
CiiiCAdo , May 18. Proceedings designed
o spread consternation In the ranks of con-
ession of Judgment holders , and have a wide
tearing in the commercial world , wcro
IORUII In the federal court to-day. The inltla
Ivo was In the shape of a bill lllod by
soventy-flvo eastern Jewelry linns , the 1m-
nedlato object being lo sot aside the con-
'csslons of Judgment whereby half a dozen
Chicagoans captured the assets of Clapp
% Davlcs , wholesale Jewelers hero , who
failed In 1887 with liabilities of over $300,000.
Ono day in April , 1887 , the firm unexpect
edly confessed Judgment to five persons In
Jhicago , whom they claimed to owe $113-
000. Executions wcro levied upon the stock ,
a receiver appointed , and the property sold
oy him , It being purchased bv the Judgment
holders for $101,000. an amount small enough
to bar all other creditors. The host
of creditors who got nothing
and are now comnlalnining , hold claims
Bdgrcgatlng 5175,000. They claim that the
firm of Clapp & Davlcs , for moro than a year
prior to Its failure , was grossly Involved , and
hat the partners , notwithstanding their
knowledge ot this fact , continued their busi
ness , and continued to buy goods from com
plainants on credit , doing so"it , is claimed. In
pursuance of n well laid scheme , of which
the confession of Judgment was merely a
part. It is urged that thcso unlawful pre
ferences were in direct violation of the law
as laid down by Justice Harlan , of Iho United
States supreme court , in his recent decision
in the case of White vs Cothouson. The
court is asked to enjoin the receiver and declare
clareClapp & Davlos' transfer of property a
voluntary assignment for the bcnellt of all
creditors.
If successful , so say the attorneys for the
complainants , this case will bo the
forerunner of a thousand moro ex
actly similar in all important details.
The principle of law on which
the complainant ! expect to gain their victory
involves every failure that has taken place
in Chicago in thirteen years. If the decision
by Justice linrlan is upheld It will mean that.
the banks of Chicago must give up an untold
amount which they have secured by such
preferences. It is said that one prominent
bank alone owes $1CUO,000 of money thus ob
tained.

making bis way out of the bunch of bananas ,
which has served as his siceuing car during
the long journey from a sunnier clime. The
chilliness of this northern atmosphere had
rendered his scorpionship so slUgfrish that ho
did not have ambition enough to strike with
his deadly sting. Tim scorpion was quickly

Tournament ICutna Bitll In Doubt.
A telegram received from Mayor Hohrer
at Chicago last evening stated that no deci
sion had been urrlntd ut concerning tourna
ment rates , und that the matter would como
up again Tuesday uoou. About thirty gen
passenger agents and their assistants
are In attendance at the mooting , and It has
been decided that all votes must bo unani
mous. This being the case , a single dissent
ing vote will kill any question on which n
vote Is taken. Mayor Hohrer is of the opin
ion that the case Is n very precarious ono ,
mid advocates striking with nil possible force
While the iron Is hot.
Telegrams were sent yesterday by nil the
leading retail business firms and wholesale
houses of the citv ( asking that volunteer fire
men bo carried free , as the success of the
tournament depend : ) upon It. Frco trans
portation for the firemen is by no moans
assured , nnd the committee Is naturally foolIng -
Ing ralhor nervous. It Is alleged that the
tin friendliness of the railroads for the people
of lown Is all that prevents a speedy adop
tion of the desired rate , but strong hope nro
entertained that they will yield to the strong
demand made upon them In this Instance ,
Wo want from ono to ton lots suitable
for building , in central location , and
will pay cash. Must ho well located and
cheap. BKN.SON , SurJ'i'Kiti ) & Co.

A Slnutilur Ac ldnnt.
A loose block in-Lower Broadway was the
cause of an accident , 'cslcrdoy afternoon ,
that may prove rather cosily to the city. W.
H. Ware , Esq. , ' was driving along that
thoroughfare with bis standard trotting
stallion. Prince Ivanhoo , whan the animal
stepped upon a tilting block and was thrown
lieavlly to the pavement. One knee was
terribly cut , but * the horso. though badly
crippled , was abla to hobble to the stable.
On examination by Veterinary Surgeons
Stewart and Cacy , revealed the fact that the
knee cap was Xiadly smashed , aud found the
Injury to be of u much more serious nature
than wan anticipated. It is stated that the
accident will ' , probably render the animal
valueless 'for-track or road work , although
he may possibly recover. Ho was valued nt
$ lf)00 , and Mr. Wnro proposesto recover
damages from the city , it was intended to
place the horse in training in a few days , and
ho gave promise of great speed. Mr. Wnro
states that ho was Jogging the horse but
little faster than a walk st life time of the
accident , otherwise the nniinal would have
been killed outrighl. It is stated that the
place where the accident occurred was left
In bad condition after making repairs to the
water works mams.
