Much interest has been manifested in
the proceedings of Court since Monday
last, several cases of importance to our
citizens as well as the accused, having
been tried. The principal one was the
Commonwealth vs. Samuel Marks and
George Rarick, indicted for arson, being
charged in one Indictment with setting fire
to the property of Thomas E. Shull, and
IN the other with burning the stable of II.
d +. Mcclure. A large number of wit
nesses were examined-among them Nc
Ennis, an associate of the parties indicted,
who turned States evidence-and a case
made out against them, so far as the burn
ing OF Shull's property was concerned,
which could admit of no doubt. Marks.
Rarlck, and McEnnis, it appears were
among the leaders in kindling bonfres on
the streets and other riotous proceedings,
and on the night of the fire, after kindling
bonfire IN front of McDowell's tavern.
proceeded down Market street to the iail
Tor the purpose Of SOLDERING one of them
by walk, when, according to McEnnis,
Marks declared he would burn the ten pin
alley. McEnnis alleges that he attempted
TO persuade him not to do so, but failed
The party then proceeded down WAYNE
street to the building, when Marks got in
al the window, Rarick took up his position
at the alley and NJ Ennis proceeded to the
blacksmith shop below Marks soon came
out and followed by the others, set off on
a run through the alleys toward the bon
fire up town, so as TO be there before the
fire broke out. A portion of this testi-
mony is circumstantially corroborated by
other witnesses, and we know Of no reason
to doubt NJ Ennis statement of the affair
The case was ably conducted By A. p.
JACOB and S. S. WooDs, EsQRs.. for the
Commonwealth, and G.. W. ELDER and
ANDREW PARKER, EsQRs., for the defend
ants, and was given to the Jury on Thurs
day, who after dehberating some time re-
turned verdict of GUILTY for burning the
property Of Thomas L. Shull, as charged
in the first indictment, and NOT guilty of
burning the stable OF r. & f. Mcclure, as
charged in the second.
The counsel for defendants intend ma
king application for a new trial, which we
believe is to be argued tomorrow.
The punishment for the crime Of which
the prisoners stand convicted is confne-
ment in the Penitentlary for any term not
exceeding fifteen gears.
RUMoR.-It is rumored on the street
this morning that some further dcyeIope-
ments have been made which may lead to
the detection of incendiaries yet at large.

tlon was very limited until he attained his
ISth year, but he notwithstanding, gradua-
ted with honor at Yale College in 1904.
In the fall of 1910, after brilliant success
at the bar, he took his seat in Congress.
and though but %, such was his reputation
that he was placed second on the commit
tee OF foreign relations, Peter b. Porter
being chairman, and Felix Grundy, John
Randolph and. Philip B. Key, the other
members. During the session, upon MIR.
Porter's resignation, he succeeded him as
chairman, and the message Of the Presi-
dent being of warlike character, Mr..
Calhoun took strong ground in behalf of
the American cause.
After six years distinguished service in
Congress, he was offered a seat in the
Cabinet as Secretary of War, bv President
Monroe, which he accepted, and continued
in that post until 1925, when he entered
upon the duties Of the office of Vice Presi
dent, to which he was elected in 1924, and
again reelected in 1923, on the Jackson
ticket. Although at first a warm partisan
of old Hickory, Mr.. Calhoun did not long
remain such, having become disguised with
the trickery of the old Federalists who had
clustered around Gen Jackson, and thence
forward occupied a middle ground between
the two great parties.
In 1882, on the election of Gen. Hayne
to the Office of Governor of South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Calhoun was elected to a seat in
the u. S. Senate, to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by Gen. Haynes resignation, and
resigned the Office of Vice President for
the purpose of entering upon the duties of
a Senator. He continued in the Senate
until ls43, when he resigned, and retired
to private life.
In 1914, on the death of Judge Upshur,
he was called to the Department of State
by John Tyler, which place he filled until
the accession of Mr.. Polk to the Presi-
dency. In l846 he was again elected to
the U. S. Senate; but declining health has,
for the last two years, materially interfered
with his duties. lie led an active, labori-
Gus life, and, with all his vagaries, few men
