On Friday evening: last Judge . Thurman had the fall which resulted in a serious injury to his hip. No bones being broken, and his constitution being so wondertully strong, led to the belief that he would soon regain his accustpmed health. The effect of the nervous shock appeared to have panied away, and Tuesday and Wednesd had improved so much that his phy clans and friends thought he would un- doubtedly get up again in a short tina. Yesterday, however, a severe rela curred, and there is to-day but litt that he can recover. His vigorous — tion may yet pull him through, but the chances are against him. This information comes from members of the family. Mr. Thurman was alone in his parlor when he fell. He thought he was strong -@nou to walk to the library and back to ‘his chair.

ONE PROPOSITION IGNORED. Judge Rassieur Made It but the Cir- cuit Bench Only Talked and Took no Actien. No assistance will be rendered the Munici- pal Assembly by the St. Louis Circuit Judges in arranging for more court-réoms. Another attempt to reach ah agreement was made by the Circuit Judges and Pro- bate Judge Leo Rassieur late Thursday af- ternoon, but without result. Compared with the affair of Thursday morning and the dis- pute between Judge Rassieur and Cireuit Judge PF. R. Fliteraft, the meeting was rather tame. It widened the breech, how- ever, between the Circuit Judges and the, Judge of the Probate Court. Judge Rassieur feels that he was ignored by the Circuit Judges in the matter. of the attempted arrangement, they having gone ahead without consulting him as to’ the needs of the Probate Court. When he learned Thursday morning what io Circuit Judges were doing he 3 t they ex ne into the wants of n Probate — Court and after — Panes distribute the pet ee ons as woul Fliteraft came in Fudge Fu 3 and fron ing was 93 Judge Fi- craft W little £ we de in the 9 the Judge Reser 8 or made a strong "on * pointed 0 — any 8 office for” ; ame vet rrofusel * — er ree “he „ ed 228 ö “That being the case,“ remarked Judge Withrow, 1 move that the Circuit Judges agree that the bill pending be so modi ed that the Assessor's room be assigned to the to have the 2 ab “T agree to it anyhow, * said J Ras- sleur, because I am contending merely for the proper aécommodation of the Pro- bate Court, and do hot care what individua) reaps the benefit.”” Then the Circuft Judges proceeded to ig- nore Judge Withrow’s motion and ventilated their views of the needs of the Circuit Court. The meeting adjourned without any action having been taken looking to an amicable. settlement of the dispute. This afternoon the Circuit Judges drew up and signed a memorial to Chairman e- ham of the House Committee on Public mprovements recommendi that the of- fices of the Assessor and the Collector be re- modeled for court-reoms, They said the Re- corder of Deeds’ office would be inade- quate. They also call attention to the fact that three of the Judges have. no pri- vate rooms in which to do the work proper to the functions of their office. The House Committee of Public Improve- ments met in executive session at 11:30 Fr. day morning to further consider ways and | means to provide Judge Harvey with a room in which to hold his court. The session was a short one, lasting less than an hour, as the members had esr | cally agreed upon a plan before they met. After a brief — — of minor details it was decided to leave all the court rooms as they now are, and also the Police De- rtment, and to provide a court room for Fs Harvey on the third floor. A bill containing such a recommendation will be faveraviy reported in the House of Dele- gates Friday night.
