DETROIT, Dec. 4.—Herbert Wilson, a young man who was found upon the Ann Arbor electric line tracks outside the city some days awo, with a fractured skull, will always carry about with him several wire nails. Wilson left Detroit to work in Ann Arbor. Returning there from a visit with friends in Detroit he fell from a ear, and it is though the next car struck him. When he was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital in this city he was unconscious. Dr. C. G. Crumrine, assisted by Drs. J. J. Siffer and C. G. Burgess, determined to tre- phine the skull. It was found that the membraneous covering of the skull, known ‘ie the priosteum directly under the scalp, | was broken in many places and full of blood | clots. These were removed and the wound | was cleansed. The great force of the blow which Wilson received made several frac- | tures in the skull itself. The suture or joint of the two portions of the skull which come | together at the top of the head, was broken apart. Running out at right angles froin this break were three fractures. The piece of the skull thus partially loosened from | the rest had sunk downward, in places as j.! oo See BY ou, ca ai) put having first proc lof the staff surgeons of the hospital, who much as a quarter of an inch, and the | Practical Presents at Moderate Prices.

Statement Called Forth by Mention of the Transit Company in Connec- tion With the Judge’s $6000 Contribution to the Demo-’ cratic Campaign. Judge Henry 8. Priest of St. Louis has prepared for publication a statement ex- plaining the circumstances under which his contribution of $6000 was made to Chair- man Seibert of the Democratic state com- mittee in the campaign of 1898. The statement was called forth by the testimony of Secretary of State Sam B. Cook in the Cardwell suit at Kansas City last week. The St. Louis Transit Co. was mentioned in connection with Mr. Cook's testimony concerning Judge Priest’s con- tribution. In part, Judge Priest’s statement reads: ‘During the campaign of 1898 I raised and gave to Mr. Seibert, as my recollection now serves me, a little more than six thousand dollars, to be expended by him in behal: of the Democratic party. Both prior and subsequent to that year it has been my custom and my pleasure to make contribu- tions and assist in raising money for the benefit of the party. ‘The circumstances relating to this par- ticular contribution were substantially as follows: “Mr. Seibert represented to me that the Republican party, through its national committeeman, Mr. Kerens, and its state committee, were. making strenuous efforts to carry the Legislature in order to defeat Senator Cockrell, and that in the accom- plishment of this purpose the Republican party was making lavish use of moeny that Mr. Kerens was himself a very rich man and had an easy access to the funds o many large railroad corporations with which he was connected, as well as abund- ant resources among the financial interests of the East; that the Democratic party haa no large fund to draw upon, and must de- pend upon the efforts of a few of its mem- bers; that a large number of its former willing contributors had been alienated by the campaign of 1895; that the party was in great need of money to get out its vote in the doubtful counties, where the Repub lican party was endeavoring to corrupt its ravk an file withthe lb rat use of mone “T asked him how much he needed. He told me, “all that he could get.’ I asked him how soon he needed the money. My impression is that the election was to oc- cur in about two weeks, and he said that he would like to have the money right away, so as to be able to distribute it in those portions of the state that most needed help, and that were most limited in their local resources. I replied to him that I would do what I could. went to several business and social friends and through them, with my own contribution, I raised what money I gave him. Most of the mon- ey was contributed by gentlemen who had not the remotest connection with a rail- road or street railway company, or any otner quasi-public corporation, so far as l then Knew or have since learned. “An effort has been made to connect with, this contribution an expectation upon my part of party aid in passing what is com- monly known as the ‘street railway bill,’ which was introduced in the Legislature about April 26, 1899, and approved June 19, 899. Recently the press has referred to it as the ‘Transit bill.’ “That no such icgislation was contem- plated at the. time | gave to Mr. Seibert the contribution before mentioned, and that no such legislation could have been anticipated at that time, is perfectly apparent from the following statement of facts.’’ Judge Priest then relates the steps by which the companies were consolidated and his legal services in connection th rewith. He says that it was not until the middle of December, 1898 (after the election). that he was called Wast by Brown Bros. Co. for consultation regarding St. Louis street railway properties. ' He says that the St. Louis Transit Com- pany was net orgsnized until March, 1899. He also contends that the Legislature of 1899 would never have been ask: d—at least, on his advice—to pass the famous street railway bill, if a certain decision of the Su- preme Court hag been announced before the bill was introduced. This decision, Judge Priest says, verified his contention that one street railway had’ the right to purchase arother in St. Lou‘’a Tn conolus'on, Judge Priest says: “It must eppenr. if these facts are true, and unless was gifted with prophetic power beyond human Intellect, that I could not have anticipated a combination of cir- cumstances which would lead me to believe that my clients, or my clients’ interests, FUNERAL OF MRS.
