The Burnet House Dif1lculty---DeCiSiOn
Of Judge Warren,

In the Police Court yesterday afternoon Judge
Warren decided the case of Captain Silas Miller,
proprietor Of the Burnc, House. and his two broth
er=, William md Charlie charged with assault and
battery on the person of Captain Wilson. of the Reg
glar United States Army
The decision Of the judge was IN substance a. fol-
.ows
The defendants IN this case are charged with COM
ntting assault upon the person Of Capt. Wilson,
n last Sunday evening The only question which
% becomes my duty TO decide Is, there actual
assault committed, all the other questions raised in
the trial entirely beyond the control of this court
The facts as brought forth by the examination Of
Witnesses are very simple. Wilson came up out Of
the bar room Of the Burnct House in company with
several otbcrs, and made considerable noise. On
hearing Captain Miller rap the counter he walked
lp 10 him and extended his hand, which Miller re-
fused 10 take Feeling insulted az this he asked for
bis BILL and paid Il. Il was then his duty TO have
eft the house but instead of doing So he stepped up
20 wherc Miller was landing and further words
passed between the two. He was then ordered out
)f the house, but refused 10 60 until he obtained his
baggage. Having obtained il, If was again his duty
20 lave left but instead Of doing so he returned 70
1Ee Office, for the purpose, as he Wears, TO amgably
arrange the matter After a feV words had pass
between the two be seized by the two brothers,
Capt Miller al the same time drawing and present.
ing pistol which be had no right 10 have with him.
and elected from the house. The only question left
Tor 10 decide Is whcthg more force than was ne
-essary used 20 effect this purpose. In the first
place Capt Wilson had no business 10 60 TO Tho Of
Gee after the frat difficulty, which occurred in the
otlrda had been for the time at least settled; and
in the second place as l have already said Captain
Miller had 10 right, Uor was he placed in such po-
siton, a 90 become necessary to draw weapon
The brothers of Miller while they may have though
IL necessary 10 eject Wilson from the hOse were not

The Life of DR.. Kane,

This Is one Of the oldest books printed in long
while. 1t is the publication Of wife, (so-called as
Bill Arp would say of the love letters received by
her during long courtship. The delicacy of the
book may be questioned, but IFS interest cannot
The reasons for thus spreading before public ey
these sacred mcmentoes, is thus told:
The late DR.. Kane, the celebrated Arctic explo-
rcr left behind him, when he died, something be-
sides his valuable book to attract public attention.
He had secretly effected if appears, what his her
naughty family in Philadelphia considered a

amored, and between this lady, as his widow and
DR.. Kanes mother and brother little but litigation
and bad feeling has subssted since the great explo
rer's decease. Il seems that he was for several
years engaged 10 Miss Margaretta Fox, one Of the
young ladies Of spirit wrapping celebrity, with
whom he fell in love while she exhibiting as a
medium in Philadelphia, she being then only fifteen
years old. With the consent of her mother DIR.
Kane removed her from all association with spirit
ualists, and placed her In private school near
Philadelphia, 10 remain during his absence in the
Arctic regions. On his return in 1855, they were
20 have been married; but the opposition Of DR..
kane's family was such that Miss Fox released him
from his engagement He loved her, however too
well 10 live without her; and in April, 1856 the
the engagement was renewed, with the understand
ING that it should be kept secret till the publication
Of Dr. kancs great work should realize an indie
pendencc for him In October 1886, his physician
having ordered Dr.. Kane TO England he was Sc
cretly married tc Miss Fox, and made his viii,
leaving five thousand dollars to her in a private
trust to his brother His last letter was addressed
to her Thi- legacy was not paid, and injurious re-
ports being raised, Mrs. Kane sued for dover as the
widow, and prepared a memoir embOdying l5i OF
DR.. hanes letters. The Doctor family inteTposed
TO prevent the publication of the memoir and let
ters and agreed pay the lady the interest Of the
money left her. and sum down 70 repay her e1-
Penses but they having failed TO keep the agree
ment, the publication Is now male in order 70 vim
