VERY LIGHT BAIL.

SuOOtInR HHruy CueHnut bIJs
On Wednesday afternoon Alderman Good
held John Fitzhenry on the charge of shooting
James Savage late on Tuesday night at Chestnut
Hill. The weapon used was shot gun and the
contents took effect in the victims neck and
shoulders At the hearing Aldsrman Thomas ap-
peared for the prisoner and said that he would
not attempt to deny that Fitzhenry had fired the
shot.
During the last two years Savage had repeat
edly threatened the life of the prisoner. He
had more than once assaulted him in his own
dwelling. He had assaicd his house with stones
and the shot was fired in selfdefense. The
noise of the assault in the middle of the night
threatened to destroy the prisoners life, If he
had to wait five years to accomplish it. If the
wounded man should die, said the alderman, l
feel assured that a jury would render a verdict
of justifable homicide. The alderman then
proceeded to call witnesses to prove thatvarious
threats had been made against the life of the
prisoner.
At this stage of the proceedings Edward
Savage, father of the wounded man, begln be-
rating the prisoner, and threatened that he
would shoot him. He was silenced by the
alderman.
Mrs. Fitzhenry testiGed-On Christmas night two
years ago Savage wanted John to buy coat; he
bought IL and they quarrelled about the bargain;
was not married then; this quarrel was the COM
mencement OF the trouble; Savage repeatedly
him on one occasion, using a black
jack; Savage often came to the house
hallooiDg for the d to come out
that he would kill him; the Quarrel was kept up
until the present time; at midnight on Tuesday the
last assault was made; Savage made attack on
the house with stones, and John shot; was afraid
threatened 10 lay in wait for John and shoot him, If
it took him five years to do it,
After more evidence to the same effect, the
prisoner was let off on $500 bail.

The Hornet Expedition SuccessfuI-The Cargo
not necaptured.
Information has been received in New York to
the effect that the guns and munitions of war
landed upon the coast of Cuba on the 9th, from
the steamer Hornet, did not fal into the hands
of the Spaniards, as previously reported from
Havana, but we're received by the Insurgents.
Before the vessel sailed from Asplnwall Presi-
dent Cespedes and the commander of the expe-
dition had fixed the point of Decentralization
and the time within which it should be effected.
Cespedes' men were at place not far distant
from Punta Bravo on the 9TH instant. The
steamer reached there at the time agreed upon,
and the whole cargo was landed by the night of
the 7th.
1t is true, as stated from Havana, that the
Hornet was sighted by a gunboat on the Sth,
when off the coast, but the Spaniards did not
find the place of Decentralization till the morn
ing of the 12rh. On that day the Hornet had
safely arrived at good harbor within the terri
tory of a neighboring republic, where she pro-
baby now lies. The Spaniards did capture q
number of empty boxes from which the guns
had been taken, and, perhaps, cannon also, as
that was planted on shore to protect the party
while engaged in the work of Decentralization
and could not we'll be moved into the interior.
What was done with the other cannonis known,
but il would be improper to state the fact here.
The news above described may be relied upon
as authentic.

The year SO far has been mol

The year SO far has been more pro,
ductive Of murders by rail 10 the
United States than any corresponding g
period OF time. The details Of one
"acci dent are hardly chrouicled be.
fore another is reported. From New
Hampshire to Texas the work Of
slaughter has been going on until the
number OF victims exceeds the casual
ties Of brittle. Public indignation as
expressed through tho press, aud
newspaper appeals to directors aud
managers, alike fail to achieve any
gOod results. The virtue Of rigid pun
ishmeut ought now to be tried, II uec-
essary, let tho damages for killing or
naming passengers be fixed at treble
the rates now prevailing in any State,
aud then the offending rsilrosS 0h-
cias should be punished for man
slaughter. A road o. two saddled
With heavy debts Tor damages, aud 4
few officers condemned To bread
aud watsr fare, would unquestionably
go far in securing the necessary pre-
Cautions against railw ay massacrss.
When companies ind that it is cheap
sr to guard against than 10 pay for
accidents they viii naturally follow
the former course.
