THE NEWS of the Pike county (Pa.,) jury ac-
quitting Engineer Griffin, whose gross care
lessness occasioned the frightful Mast Hope
disaster, (the sickening details of which ap-
peared so recently in the papers) is every
where received with surprise, and the action
of the jury is almost universally condemned
by the press of the country. 1t appeared, as
was well known before, that the collision &C.
Cured in consequence of the engineers start
ing the freight train, which had been waiting
on side track, which the passenger train was
passing, and that he did this without orders
from the conductor of his own train, ON walk
ing from nap with which be had been re-
ffeshing himself while waiting. 1t also ap-
peared that Griffin had always been esteemed
a man of good character and faithful to his
duties, and that it was common 70. engineers
to sleep when lying at a switch. The Judge,
in his charge to the jury, read from the statute
book the law of the State providing that if any
person in the employment of railroad or
transportation company neglects or refuses
obedience to any regulations of the company,
and in consequence of such neglect or refusal
injury or death shall result, such person shall
be guilty of misdemeanor, and shall be pun
ished by fine not exceeding $4,000, and DO
imprisoned in the county jail or the peniten-
tiary not more than five yeas. JUDGE BoSrattl
called the attsnElNr OF the jury to the rule of
tie company, which absolutely required engi-
neers to await the orders of their conductor
before starting, and to the evidence showing
that the defendant had violated this regulation
and thus caused the collision. The Jury, after
after an absence of three hours, returned with
a verdict of mot guilty" which was received,
the report says, with great applause" 1t
seems, therefore, that in the opinion of Pike
county jury, it is no offence for railroad en-
gineer to cause the death of twenty or thirty
people through neglect Of plain requirement
OF his company. After bripgins ia tneir yer.
dict the Judge who presided at the trial told
them that it was against law, against justice,
and an outrage against humanity" that they
had violated the obligations of their oath,
which was to render verdict according to the
evidence. Instead of that said he, "you have
rendered verdict against every particle of
evidence. am astonished that you should in
this way set aside the law and violate your
oaths; and trust that the spirits of the dead,
dying, bleeding, and burnt victims of Mast
Hope will rebuke you as long as you live''
After admonishing them in this wholesome
way for some time, Judge Barrett told them
that in future he hoped they would feel a prep
er regard for their oaths, and discharged them
from any further duty, on the complimentary
ground that they were ''not fit to sit as jury
men" Il will not try causes he kindly OBJ
served, ''before such Jury" -

A Singular Trial i'm New Exam pshi re.
tErom the Concord Patriot, Sept. 2o]
The Supreme Judicial Court in session at
Dover was occupied three days with the trial
of the case of Kicker v. Freeman-an action
brought by the'plaintiff against the defendant
for injuries sustained eleven years ago, when
the parties were school boys of about IL years
of age. The evidence showed that durins the
recess of the school that they attended, the
boys were .slssarKing" on the stairs, in the
course Of which Freeman threw Kicker SO vi
olently that he fell upon some hooks in the
wall one of which entered his neck and did
him so much injury that he has never recover
ed from the effects of it. The damages were
laid at 5000, and the action has been deferred
till this late day. when the parties became of
age. The jury returned a verdict for the plain
tiff and gave him damages to the amount of
$3,25O. No malice was imputed to the de-
PENDANT.

THE BANKRUPT LAw.-An important de-
cison under the bankruptcy law was made by
Judge Blatchford of the United States Dis
trict Court at New York last week. 1t is that
voluntary assignment, without preferences,
made by debtor in failing circumstances, is
forbidden, and such an assignment, if made,
is valid ground for proceedings in involunta-
ry bankruptcy, also valid ground for refusing
to discharge a bankrupt under the law. This
is in strict accordance with the theory of the
bankrupt law, which is that the creditors and
not the debtor are to have the power to choose
the person who is to administer the debtors
estate. But in voluntary assignments in gem
eral the debtor chooses the assignee and the
result is very apt to be that the debtor himself
controls the distribution. Hence such assign
ments are contrary to the spirit of the bank
rupt law. This decision is likely to put an end
to voluntary assignments, which have hereto
fore been quite common.

made death bed repentance to the labor in

He said they could not consistently act with
the Democratic party or with the Republican
party, which last winter repudiated the appli-
cation of labor reform representatives for char
ter privilege. The only party we can depend
upon is the Labor reform party, and here in
old Massachusettsswe must set the first squap-
rons in the field. 1t shall be true to labor, to
finance, to reform and to all the Interests in
which our industries are involved.
