Court Of Oyer and 1ermtner-Jtsdges Ludlow and

This morning the case OF Officer Charles Max,
charged with the murder OF James alsh and James
Murtagh, called for trial, the District Attorney
saving that he ready to proceed with It, Messrs
Mann and Cassidy, counsel for Max, applied for
continuance upon several strong and suf1icient rea-
sons: FIRST the serious indsposition OF Mr. Cassidy;
secondly, the non-attendance OF witnesses,
because Of misunderstanding between Max and
his counsel; and, thirdly because the case was OF
such a character that If begun now 1t would run
over into the middle OF next week, and as Monday
next was legal holiday, and the July term then be-
gins, this would be impracticable.
The District Attorney opposed the motion, but the
Judges said that, although they were very anxious
TO dispose OF the homicide cases and would go TO
any reasonable length TO effect that object yet the
grounds fora continuance were such as madeit COM
pulsOry upon the Court to allow 1t, and therefore II
was granted.
Two or three other cases were called, in which
the Commonwealth was ready, but had to be con-
tinued at the motion OF the defendants, upon
grounds equally as strong as those suggested IN
MaXs case.
The Court then adjourned until tomorrow, when

WHAT IS A Polly McNATr ?-Thcrc
are many who have never heard ofthe late
Hon. John M. Claytons anecdote illustra-
tive of the position of a third party man,
and consequently may not understand the
term Polly McNatt as used in this State
He said there was once an old couple of
no great reputation, who lived no matter
where, named McNatt. One day can
vasser called to sound the old man as to
his inclinations in the pending campaign,
but not finding him at home asked Polly,
the wife, the state of her noble lords po-
litical inclination. "Well, mister" said
she, in style more terse than elegant,
"When my old man is with the Wings he
is great Wing, and when he is with the
Democrats he is great Democrat, but
when he is by himself he is as mean and
ornery eritter as ever was born p Polly
evidently had no very exalted opinion Of
her spouse's status either physically, or
mentally. morally or politically, and hence
in Kent county third party man is al
ways known as "Polly McNatt's man !"
