Some time ago man named Snow was ab-
Quoted By certain Hamilton police officers,
ct Toronto, and hurried off to the United States
when entitled to the protection of the laws of
Canada The trial of Carruthers, Chief of the
Hamilton Police, and Michigan, one of the po-
lice officers of that city, for the outrage, took
place at the Toronto Assize Court last week,
and although the jury could not agree and was
discharged, the defendants subsequently plead
guilty They were admitted to bail, to be call
ed up to be sentenced on their own confessions.
Snow was charged with some swindling trans
actions in Philadelphia, and the Hamilton PO-
lice were employed by American parties in
terested to run Snow over the lines. The To-
ronto Globe makes no apology for the conduct
of the Canadian officers, but calls for such a
sentence as will vindicate Provincial law, and
pre- rent similar outrages. With proper empha-
sisit. says:
We would not have Canada IS place of ref
uge for the swindlers and ruffians OF Yankee
dom; but we would take prompt aud decisive
measures to show that this is not mere hunt

Pioneer New Beginning in Ohio.

AT the recent Golden Wedding at Warren, al
the request of the visitors, Mr. Iddings gave a
brief history of his marriage and early welded
life He said

and remained here until the fall of 1903, when

married Miss Justins Lewis, at Reading, Pa, on
the evening OF the 18th of January, 1909, at 8
O'Clock, just fifty years ago. On the sth of Feb
ruary, we started for Ohio, in two horse sleigh,
with our household furniture, for which there
was plenty of room. When we reached the top
Of the Allegheny mountain, the snow was four
feet deep; but we learned there was no snow at
the foot of the mountain, nor westward to Ohio
We turned here, and went to the house of an
uncle of my wife, who resided in Fayette coun-
", some II miles from Brownsville. Leaving
her the sleigh and one horse, proceeded to
this place on horseback. Here hired canoe,
and engaging Mr.. Henry Harsh to assist me,
went down the Mahoning and Beaver rivers to
Beavertown, and up the Ohio and Monongabela
TO Brownsville. Taking my wife and few house.
hold ixings on board, we foated down to Pitts
burgh, where purchased barrel of -four, and
went on to Warren. The weather was quite
cold, and the settlers few and scattering. Some
nights We lodged in houses near the river, and
sometimes on its back, without shelter Some
times we had plenty to eat, and at others we
went without food for a whole day. We were
two days getting over the falls of the Beaver
river, Mr.. Harsh and myself most of the time
in the water, frequently up to our waists,)
pulling up the empty canoe, while my wife sat
on the shore; watching the goods, which we
had landed. At the mill dams on the Maho-
ming, the same process was repeated.
We reached Warren on the goth of April,
having been twenty-one days coming from

A SPECIAL JURY INcARcERATED.-The Times
reports trial which took place last month in
the Court of Queens Bench before special
jury. The action was brought against the Great
Northern Railway Company, for compensation
orinjuries sustained bya passenger. The Jury
returned verdict of " damages, one faIthing. .
The Judge (Lord Campbell,) said, "f really
cannot in the discharge OF my duty, gentle
men, receive that verdict. Ii is impossible that
it can be right 1t cannot stand; the Court of
Queens Bench would set it aside. Ifyou find for
the plaintiff you are bound to give him reasona-
bic damages. must beg you viii return to your
chamber" A Juryman, "Does your LOrdshiP
refuse to receive the verdict !" Judge, q do
refuse to receive it, as the law requires me-
You will return to your chamber" They with
drew and ''were locked up all night, without
light, fire, meat, or drink" On the following
morning they were discharged, after being told
by Lord Campbell that, ''formerlY, when Jury
could not agree, the custom was to place them
on cart, and convey them to the extreme end
of the country, and pitch them into ditch
CThe writer reeollects a case occurring in the
County of Dover where this practice minus the
pitching out, was carried out) The jury in this
instance would have been kept still longer, but
for the illness of one of their number.

Two Men Hung br n Mob.


: On the sth inst two men named Braden and
Daley, charged with horse stealing, were taken
from the jail at Omaha, Nebraska, by party
of fifteen meD, and hung to the limb of tree
in the vicinity of Florence until dead. An at
tempt was made by the authorities to bring the
murderous lynchers to justice, and four were
arrested and committed on the presentment of
the CorOnerls jury. They viii probably be
soon set at liberty by mob or otherwise, for
mob violence goes entirely unpunished under
the lax administration of law in this country =

The Novel ocean Steamship.

The novel ocean steamship Ross Wiuans, the
great iron man of Baltimore, is constructing,
will be ready to make trial trip in a couple
of weeks 1t is cigar shaped, $50 feet in
length, has capacity for $50 tons, and &C.
commodations for 20 passengers. The steam
er is built wholly of iron, no wood being used,
and is to be propelled by four locomotive en-
gines, Independent of each other, with twen-
ty-six inch stroke. The vessel is sharp at both
ends, and is two cones joined together. The
deck or roofis ten feet above water, but being
in circular form, it is expected the waves in
rough weather will pass off without retarding its
progress. The trip from Baltimore to Liver
pool is to be made in six days at a cost of only
$4,000, in case the experiment meets the ex-
pectations of its wealthy and enterprising
builder.

Policeman SOld---Rights of AuctiOuecrs.
C.M. Kent is the most voluble auctioneer in
Columbus, and has followed the auction bust
ness there about as long as friend Cutter here
Kent often sells upon the streets in violation
of the city ordinance, and sometime ago officer
White, of c 5lumbus, arrested him for so doing.
Mr. Kent feeling aggrieved, prosecuted the Off
Ger for making the arrest. The case has just
been tried in the Superior Court, and the jury
gave Kent verdict of s44 damages against
White. The police are not little puzzled BY
the verdict, and wonder how they are to pro-
eeed if an action, with damages, is to follow
an arrest under the city ordinances.
The matter is enc of some little Importance
to municipal authorities elsewhere, for Judge
Matthews decided that the ordinance under
which the arrest was made was totally void, and
that the City Council had no power to make a
regulation, providing that no goods of any de-
scriptiOn shall be sold at auction on the street.
