" Mr. Ford refused to furnish the names of any parties other than IlufTct. whom ho had heard speaking of Iho exiHMituluro of money by Clarke , Crclgliton and Gallagher for the organization of the council. In refuting nn Intimation that Mr. Hose- water had Induced Mr. Fonl to light the council. Mr , Ford explained thai ho had had no dealings or conversation with Mr. Hose- water for six years other than a simple recog nition on the street , until ho was called to give his deposition n few days ago. Mr. Hall made n determined effort to pro duce a lot of ancient municipal history by get ting Mr , Ford io explain Iho reason for Iho lack of warm friendship between him and Mr. Hoscwatcr. Mr , Ford answered n lot of Iho Irrelevant questions , but finally declined to answer anv question thai did not bear di rectly upon tlie case In consideration. The witness further explained that ho had held no conversation with Mr. Hosowater as to what ho should testify ; ho had been sub- pocnled nnd refused to como without his fees ; his fees , S3 , were paid nnd ho came to offer whatever ho kue win the case as ho had nothing to conceal. Mr. Hall asked If the witness had not re ceived his euo from Tin : DEB , "I do not read TUB BKK , " replied the wit ness , "I send it to my boy iu college but do not read It myself. " Mr. Hall attempted to find out something from the witness about the trouble with Mr. Hosewatcr over a printing bill five years ago. Mr. Ford replied that an article had been published in TIIK BKH attacking him. The facts-were misrepresented , and when ho explained them to Mr. Uosewnter Tin : BKH published a correction that was perfectly sat isfactory.

It Sccnis to T/lo In the Direction of the Union Pacific Kontl. Union Pacific circles nro considerably excited - cited over the report from Chicago that Mar vin Hughitt may succeed Charles oFrancea Adams as president of that corporation. "Whether it comes or not , sucli n change , " said ouo individual , "would bo hulled with Joy. " Another , and an official , too , said there wns plenty of foundation for statements that the Vanderbilts were rapidly acquit Ing n strong foothold in the Union Pacific directory. For more than two "years they had been quietly gobbling up every share of stock that could bo bought , nnd the fact that Mr. Hnghitt had l > cen elected a director this spring showed how .strong their interest was becoming. Hut whether they would ever bo able to secure enough control to retire - tire Adams and make Hughitt president was the great question. "The Vnndcrbllts , " he said , "aro simply after transcontinental business which they hope to enjoy through the New York Central , Northwestern and Union Pacific lines , form ing a system from ocean to ocean. Of course they own the Northwestern and on all rail road maps it is shown OH u part of the New York Central. Therefore , by having just enough Union Pacific stock to give them representation in the board of directors , the alliance Is made moro binding and suro. " J. H. Millurd said that ho thought the re port entirely speculative so far as it had ref erence to the Vanderbilts securing control nnd electing Hughitt president. They own some Union Pacific stock nnd have owned it for a long timebut Mr.Millard did not believe that they were malcing an effort to secure control of the property. Congratulations. Mr. Ed Dickinson is receiving hundreds of letter * and telegrams from all parts of the country touching upon bis retirement from the Union Pacific , Some congratulate him while others say they can hardly believe the report of his retirement. A prominent rail road man said that ho considered Mr , Dickinson's discharge from the .service of tbo Union Pacific the best thing thai could happen to him. Mr. Dick inson , he thought , would got a better posi tion with some other road , ono that would give him an opportunity to advance. "My " he said "is based the judgment , , on exper ience of other meu who have fallen victims to Adams' whims. Ninety per cent of them aio better situated today than they over were or have been on the Union Pacific. Take for Instance Messrs. Caliaway , Smith. Morse and Jones nnd note where they have got to nnd you can rest assured that Dickinson will bo bcneiltted. " Since the above was written , Mr. Dickin son has received an offer from a most power ful eastern road. TotirlnjjKrprpss Olllciali.

It Ifl Directed wltli Deadly Intent ntn Citizen. According to the story of witnesses , the dog-catcher , Matthews , has capped the climax of his ruffianism. The wagon was outvaY Fortieth nnd Bur- dollo streets and nn attempt was made to capture a llttlo dog' belonging to Adolph Swlmphcr which , it is claimed , was lu the owner's yard. Mr. Swlmphcr resisted nnd there was a struggle during which , Matthews drew his gim and flrci ! , following up the shot with n blow which brought Swlmphcr to the ground. The shot and cries of "murder" attracted a crowd to the spot and ' Ocorgo Meyer , the bricknmkor , started In pursuit of the nssnll. ant. ant.Tho The dog xvatjon was overtaken nt Sixteenth andCuming , whcro Matthews was turned over to the iwllco nnd all the parties to the tin * ray were token to the station.

In Intermit tent and remittent fever , dumb ague and agtio cake , the liver is always seriously affected , and the blood contaminated with bile. Ono of the chief reasons why Hosteller's stomach bitters Is such u sure defense against chills nnd fever and every form of malarial disease , Is , that It does away with liability to the dis ease , by reforming irregularity of the biliary organ in advance of the arrival of the selsoh when the disease is prevalent. There Is no finer fortifying preparative for those about visiting or emigrating to a locality whcro the miasma-taint exists. There Is no certain Im munity from disease in an epidemic or epi demic form , to bo secured by the use of the average tonics or nuti-spasmodlcs.
