Circuit Court

4 = : 4 -
I Last Monday the Circuit Court
adjourned its March term. Daniel
tNeElyea, who was on. trial for mali
eious shooting. was sentenced to the
lpenitentiary for two years. The
present was the second trial for the
same offence. At the last Novem-
Der term, the jury we're ten for ac-
quittal and two for conviction. At
the present term, the Judge charged
the Jury on Monday evening, and We
understand that eleven of them were
for aeqnitting from Tuesday until Fri
day. evening, at which time McEl.
yea, IN open Court, proposed TO with
draw bis plea Of not guilty, and let
the jury fix the time 10 the peniten-
tiary; stating that be was not guilty,
but that he would plead guilty rather
than lay in Jail any longer. After
the verdict, it was made known that
all the jury. except one we're for ac-
quitting him. So it seems that out of
"a men who have been sworn to try
his case. 81 were in favor of acquit-
tai. We think that, perhaps, if ever
there was case that required Exee-
utiye clemancy. this is one.

improved Coal Oil RRlort.

= N &. Il 4 . VI ]
In the manufacture OF oil from coal,
the great objectlto be secured is the per-
feet regulation of the heatlto which the
coal is submitted. Thus, little tenapera-
tune is too high, 4 considerable portion Of
the volatile lnatter which is driven Of be-
comes an uncomfortable yapor, and lis
lost if the heat is maintained st lower
degree, this can Be Condensed into OIL
Another result Of too high temperature
is. that a considerable portion of the coal
products also pass over ina thick, starrg
state, mixed with Dill. This causes in
creased expenditure for publication By,
Redistribution, and acids and alkalies, than
it otherwise would if the temperature was
maintained at a lower degree. We have
been informed by Henry Alderton, 81
Smith-street, South Brooklyn, foreman 81
the coal works near Penny Bridge, that
he has Invented aIretort Flu which the
heat of the whole coal init can beIprop-
ely regulated, so that more oil may be
obtained from itrto a given quantity of
coal. and that theToil Is Also purer than
can be made By other retdrts.3 Atspres-
ent, however, owing to unfortunate cir
eumslances, he is not possessed Of! suffi-
Client means to carry. out Ills invention.
One of these retorts can bd examined By
ealing upon him, and Judged upon its
merits. Scientific 14nericaa.
