where he was till next morning, and then
started for Christiana; heard that two of his

Mr.. Stevens, to the Court-Itis is necessary
that these prisoners, now in jail, may be bro't
into Court. We deem this essential. We
wish to show that the witness has identified
most of these people and that his testimony
is entirely false.
Mr.. Ashmead said he had no objection, as
it was only collateral matter.
Mr.. Stevens-Oh no, this is no collateral
matter. 1t is alledged that war has been
levied-we want to see the soldiers. The
charge is treason-let US see the traitors.
We will go on with the rest of the cross ex-
animation and ask the Court to send for the
prisoners IN the morning, This was agreed
TO, and ordered by the Court that they be
brought in at 10 next morning.
Nov, 29th.-After some conversation among
counsel and with the Court, II. II. Kline was
called to the stand. and cross-examination
continued. No new facts were elcted-ex-
cept such as tend to show that the prisoner
was mere spectator OF portion OF the drama.
DR.. Thos. Pearce, nephew of Edward Cor

same facts nearly as Kline. lie related the
of the fracas, the firing. beating

Corporate and Banking Deiin-
gsgenCipS.

A correspondent Of the ~ Y Tribune,
writing from Harrisburg, says that owing to
the long drouih and sudden winter the Canal
receits will fall far short of the returns antic-
pated. An increase of 100000 over last
year was assumed as certain, and appearances
now indicate that it will scarcely reach half
that sum.
On the subject of the failing Banks he thus
speaks:
The approaching session of our Legisla-
ture is looked forward to with considerable
solicitude. Some Of the delinquent banking
insti,utions-one in particular, which has
carried devastation into several quarters by
its mismanagement-are already betraying
anxiety at the prospect of an examination in
to their affairs Many are coming forward
for recharter, and the recent stoppage Of one
in the neighborhood ofthe seat of Government,
in lancaster, will not tend to limit the sever
ity of the scrutiny.
The Reading Railroad viii most certainly
become the object of scrutiny, and its course
of conduct can i'll bear the light of investiga-
tion. 1t has most lamentably failed in its OBJ
legations to the public, and is Of consequence
sinking rapidly from the estimation in which
it was once held.
The remarks on Bishop Hughes, in The
Tribune of Friday, meet with warm and
ready response in this meridian, where the
people are strongly welded to the Common
School system.

1t is really and truly the most spirited and
beautiful sheet of pictures ever issued in

Claus, or Saint Nicholas. This fine large
picture occupies two entire pages of the pa

twice that number were circulated before

The North Branch camai"Work
Suspended.

The Locofocos are proverbial for false
hood and deception. In 1914, to carry
the election in this State, their leaders
and orators promised to sustain the Tar
if of 1912, and as soon as they succeed
ed and were entrusted, with power, they
violated their promises, and repealed the
bill they were pleoged to sustain! 1t is the
same with all their pledges, they are only
made to be broken with impunity, and
may be repeated every election with the
same success. Instance the late election.
All through the region of the North
Branch Canal, where the people are u
unanimously in favor of the completion
of that improvement, their leaders, with
Col. Bigler at their head, promised to
stand by this measure, and to continue it
to completion without delay. How well
and faithfully they performed this prom
ise, may be learned from the following
article from the Bradford Argus of the
1st inst It needs no further comment:
As we predicted some four weeks
since, the work on the North Branch
Canal has been abandoned? When we
said that Contractors would receive no.
tice to quit work Immediately after cleo
ton, we were met by the opposition with
plump denial, and all kinds ofmaledic-
tions were heaped upon our heads for
getting up such an electioneering hum
bug.
"The work mag be resumed, but we
greatly fear that it will not be, for years
to come. If its re-commencement de-
pends upon such contingency as the sus-
pension of the Sinking Fund Act, we
have not the remotest hope of its going
on; for however free the party leaders
were, before election, to pledge that that
law should be suspended and the funds
arising from it applied to the North
Branch, there is not the most distant
prospect that they will redeem their prom
ise in regard to it, Nor do we believe
that loan will be effected for any such
purpose. While it would do very well
to hold out as bait to catch votes, the
prospect of getting the money, even if a
law should be passed, is to say the least,
far from good. And ifby any possibility
funds could be borrowed, the Portage
Railroad would come in for the Lions
share, leaving the Canal in the same lurch
thatit was left by the Legislature last win
ter"

What Pennsylvania has done fer
Common Shoots.

We have received an address delivered by
Thomas H. Burrows, Esq, before the Lancas-
ter county Educational Society, on the 4th
ult., which, among other matters of interest,
exhibits the magnitude of the Common School
system Of the State, which is highly credita-
bic 10 the character of the Commonwealth,
and shows The deep interest taken in the cause
of fgeneral education. In the seventeen years
that the system has been in operation, the
people of Pennsylvania have expended over
fifteen millions Of dollars in support of this
noble effort, exclusive of the large sums an
nually paid TO sustain the numerous private
academies, seminaries and schools which are
also giving their invaluable aid to the cause
of general education. The number fschools
in the State has increased from 772 to goo,
and the teachers from COS to ii, 500. The
pupils number half million, and the annual
cost Of the system is now Sl.400,000. Few
States in the Union have done more than
Pennsylvania to dispel ignorance and qualify
It's rising population for the duties of citizens
required under its free Constitution.

The following is copy of the memo
rial now circulated for signatures In the
different counties in the State Itspeaks

To the Senate and House Of Representa-
tlres 9fthe Con1nonaceahhof Of Pennsylvania:
The undersigned, residents of--in
said Commonwealth, respectfully repre-
sent That your petitioners assuming,
that every society and government has
right to protectitself against any great
and general evil, by the adoption of such
fundamental laws as will most efectually
prevent it;-and that the true republican
principle is, that all great and vitally i'm
portant questions should be submitted to
the whole people, in their paramount SOW
ereignity, where the same can be conve-
niently done,-are admitted political ak
IONS. And believing that the use of in
toxicating liquors, as a beverage, by per-
sons in health, resulting as it does, in
large portion of our community, in every
part of the State, becoming habitually
Incorporate, and yearly causing the utter
ruin, in body and in soul, in reputation,
family and property, ofthousands and tens
of thousands of our citizens, is a great
moral, social and political evil THAT
the use of Intoxicating liquors, as a bev-
erage, by persons in health-however
small the quantity-is always, to some
extent, injurious, physically, morally, ,and
by way of example, and never benef -
cial: and that the only effectual mode of
putting an end to this great evil, is by
absolutely prohibiting the existence of
the present facilities to obtain intoxic ating
liquors,-to remove the temptation alto
gether.
Your petitioners, pray that in accOr-
dance with the provisions of the Consti-
tuition, an amendment be submitted to the
qualified electors of the State, at the ear
hest possible period, prohibiting the sale
within the State, of all intoxicating IL
quors, as and for beverage, and requi-
ring the Legislature at its first session
after the adoption of this amendment,
and from time to time thereafter, to pass
such laws as shall carry this provision
into effectual operation.

from the city, in the marble quarries whence
all the stone for building the Washington
Monument is obtained. The section of an
immense shaft had been quarried, and was
being raised to the side of the railroad, by
means of shears, when the tackling broke,
and the immense stone, weighing not less
than twenty tons, fell on two OF the workmen,

ground into an impalpable mass, and scattered
on the clothing of his fellow workmen, whilst
the other had both his legs cut off above the
