Notwithstanding the fact that Have w-as doolared by the commisMon to have been duly elected, Nugent claimed that the matter was still In dispute, and he refuked lo pay the note or return the horse. Oodner brought suit before a Justice of the ptce, and. on default, secured a Judgment for the face value ot the note, with Interest until paid, but Nugent appealed to the district court, where the rase was dismissed. Oodner then brought a new suit for the calue of the horse, and that case Is still pending, the title being "Hannah R. slnrr. administratrix of the relate of Job. Oodner, agt. W. II. Nugent." Tho horse long ago drpartrd this life. The original plaintiff Is dead, and neither of the law !rm originally retained is in existence.

A SINGLE FLOWER That Oost Ten Thousand Dollars i This Heautlful Oar nation. New Y'ork Herald. New York florists have been n'gotlat- ng with a tlrm in O.rand Rapids. Mich.. for their new carnation, the Murello. offering JlO.tkW for lOO.uOO plants, and the exclusive right to propagate and sell for a single aeaeon. The new carnation waa grown from seed planted Ave years ago and has shown no signs of deteriorating. It Is bright red In color, often excedea four Inches across the top. and Is very fra grant. Hut ths growers have been culti vating It chiefly for the blossom, and are unable to supply the requisite number of plants In time to be Included In the spring catalogues. Negotiations have been suspended until xt fall. The only sole right the grower rould give would Pe for a slnple season, for as soon as uny of the plants fall Into the hands of the florists they will b? propagated hy cuttings, and will soon be public property. Thoy cannot he covered by copy right or patent, but the slow processes of nature la the only protection.

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS Conferees on the I'utian Kcxilutions Kill Probably Ayrcc Today A KKSOI.LTIOX TO ADJOIKN O'lcrcd by flitr. with the Stute Sitting May 'I tbc Date-Kapid rroy resa fktig .lade kith Naval Appropriitioi Dill Washington. March K.-The conferee, of th two houses on the Cuban resolu tions held a meeting today, but again adjourned without reaching a conclusion. They, however, went far enough to Jus tify the belief that another session, which will be held tomorrow-, will conclude the conference. The Indications favor the i--"lon of the house from Its position and the acceptance of the senate resolu tions. The difficulties of getting any legisla tion which la apposed, aa the Cuban reso lutions are, through the annate under the present rules, are well undrstood by ths conferees, and the conviction Is grad ually forcing Itself upon them that the safest course la to puraue a course which will not require any further action by the senate. The house member of the conference ar loth to give up their reso lutions, but it Is understood they will do so If It Is made necessary to secure the concurrence of the two bodies. Sen ator Cameron's contribution to the sen ate resolution, that the friendly offices of the I'nlted Stare should be offered by the president to the Spanish govern ment for the recognition of the Ind pendence of Cuba. Is antagonlxed by the house confere:, one of whom said It would lie equally diplomatic and proper to offer the friendly office to Grat Hrltaln for the attalnnv-nt of Canada Independence. On the other hand, the clause in the house resolutions, looking to Intervention to protect the interests of the I'nlted1 States. Is opposed by the senatorial aide of the conference. Con cerning the expression of sympathy with the Inaurgenta and the recommendation that the I'nlted States should accord them belligerent rights, there was no great controversy of personal opinions. In case the senate resolution are ac enpf d by the ronferenc. the question will again be thrown into the house and lu all probability more debate may be had In that body, when the confere make their rerort, and several members ace preparing pecb. in anticipation of the opportunity. Cuba's most anient parti sans on the foreign affaire committee think the matter of words Is of small Importance, and that congrees should present a solid front to the other nations In the matter. NAVAL BILL. Washington. March Z The house to day took up the naval appropriation bill and made such rapid progress that when adjournment was reached all the para graphs had been passed save those re lating lo the Increase of the navy.
