The trial OF Gen. Jim Lane for the murder
OF Jenkins was commenced at Lawrence on
the 18th. The killing is admitted by Lanes
counsel, who contend that it was done IN
self-defense. There were five lawyers en-
Ployed on each side, ex-Secretary Stanton
being one of those for the prosecution. 1t
was shown that Jenkins received SO shot

1t appears that Lane had nailed up the gate

at well on the premises occupied and
claimsd by Lane, that Jenkins went in COM
Pahy with several others, stove down the
gate with an ak, laid his rife upon Rev. Mr..

only one of them hitting Lane. Some say
that Jenkins approached him with an uplifted

that Jenkins friends fred two shots before

is no evidence to sustain these statements.

TRIAL OF NEW STEAM FIRE ENGINE.
Quite number ofpersons assembled in Cen
trail Square, East Boston, Friday forenoon. to
witness the operation of a new steam Gre en-
CINE which has been designed and construct
ed by Messrs. George Nj. Bird Co., machine
lists, OF East Boston. The machine weiphs
about three and half tons, and can be drawn
by two horses. The operation is yery simnle
Ii is claimed that it will wear well. and il not
likely to get out Of order. The steam cvlin-
der is ten inches in diameter, and the water
pump six and half, the stroke being fourteen
inches.
az seventeen minutes past five the engine
was tired up, the boiler being slightly warm.
ed. Il began to work in sixteen minutes. 1t
Is claimed that steam can be raised in six min.
utes, but at the present trial the time occupied
was eight minutes.
The engine first played into two hand. en-
gines, Webster IL and Dunbar 10, through
two hundred feet of hose in each case, and
nearly Supplied them, they being worked at
the same time by their companies and play-
ing through open hose. The cylinders Of the
hand engines were five and Ave .eighths inch.
es in diameter and fifteen inches stroke. Con.
siderable trouble and delay were caused by
the bursting of hose.
An attempt was then made to throw two
perpendicular streams, but the bursting of
the hose prevented a satisfactory result. Two
streams were next played, each through two
hundred feet Of hose and a one inch pipe, the
distance not being measured.
NO other experiments were made, il being
after seveu clock.
The circumstances under which this trial
was made were rather unfayorable the hose
bursting frequently, the engines being mann
cd oy more than the usual number, and the
mnohine being n@. On the whole, the trial
should be considered as satisfactory.

MARROW ESCAPE. james W. Ransdall of
Franklin, Indiana, had taken down his rifle
to clean and prepare it for hunting excur-
sion, and being perfectly satisfied that there
was no charge in it, he set the breach of the
gun upon the floor, and then put his mouth
to the muzzle, at the same time drawing back
the hammer with his feet. He attempted to
"blow through the barrel,' but as the air
had no vent, he took his mouth from the
muzzle, and at the same instant took his
foot from the hammer, and let it fall with
about the amount of force it would have in
an ordinary discharge, and the result was
Ransdall, few moments after, found himself
staggering around the room with his face
considerably burnt with powder; and, on
fully recovering himself, he found bullet
hole through the rim of his hat, showing that
the ball must have passed within an inch of
his head. The only remarkable thing in
relation to this is, that previous to attempting
to blow through the gun, Ransdall had taken
from the "tube" an exploded soap that had
been used on former occasion, and there
being no cap on, he had not the least idea
that there was any possibility of such an
accident. The probability is, that a portion
of the combustible material from the soap
removed had filled the tube, and that the
conclusion OF the hammer and the tube caused
the gun to discharge.
