TURNING A TRAG kDY INTO A FARCE.
In this trial, at Carlisle, Pa, on Wednesday
Dr. VIM. w. Rutherford OF Harrisburg, gave
testimony in direct conflict with the entire testi-
nony OF one OF the hypothetical witnesses. lie
considered II arrant nonsense to undertake TO
say that Miss Stennicke had symptoms" OF any
disease after a. m, January e, as she was then
dying and nothing could have been of any benefit
10 her, He fun Their gave the opinion that the
dose OF one grain OF tartar emetic and ten grains
OF lpecac given by DR.. Sh9ppe on the morning
OF the 9th OF January caused the drowsiness
described. and probably caused her death by
inducing conclusion OF the brain from vomiting
The manner Of the witness was positive, but
dlverting, and several times the court, Jury aud
spectators were convulsed with laughter The
erect upon the jury was marked, and the case
seems TO have assumed almost the position aud
character of q broad farce. Though DR. Ruth
ertord had been called by the prosecution the
effect OF his testimony was decidedly in favor OF
the prisoner. DIR. ShPppe seemed TO appreciate
the effect OF the evidence, and once or twice
Joined in the general laughter.
Yesterday the counsel for the accused made
the opening statement, in which he reviewed
the prominent points OF the case, claiming that
already the proof of any guilt was so baseless
that an scquittal without argument should fol-
low the testimony for the defence. DIR. Reese,
OF Philadelphia, then testified that it was his
opinion that the analysis of Prof. Aiken was
utterly unreliable, that he used no certain test
The post norton, he added, determined nothing
DIR. Howard, OF Baltimore, testified that Dr.
Conrad's examination was made in a Careless
and unscentifc manner, and tended 10 obscure
the true csuse of death.

The recent mill between Billy Edwards and

was the referee. From the sixteenth TO tn ,
twenty-hfth round, Edwards fought Chambers
almost entirely in Chambers corner, and hal
the fight wholly in his hands, when
FOUL WAS DECLARED
against him. The NY Herald correspondent saws
the decision was in direct opposition 20 the
wishes OF the crowd, as well az contrary ID their
opinions or business, and they became clamOr-
Gus for reversal and continuance OF the fight.
Edwards walked 70 the center Of the ring, and
solemnly declared that the charge was alto

verSe his decision, however, and q scene OF the
most intense excitement ensued. Billy Was

The official investigation of the Nets disaster
already proves conclusively gross carelessness
on the part of the officers of the steamer. After
being struck by the schooner, had the exact ex-
tent Of the injury received been ascertained,
ample time would have been had to run the
steamer ashore, and probably not a single life
would have been lost. This and three other
shocking marine disasters occurring within a
fortnight are proper subjects for the considera-
ton of the national convention of steamboat
owners and managers to be held at Cleveland
On the 2ith irst The object of the convention
is to take such measures As may induce Con-
gress to amend the present steamboat law Full
statistics OF casualties will be prepared for pre-
sentation TO Congress, to indicate the necessity
OF certain changes in the law as it stands at
present. The steamboat owners complain about
the perempfory clauses of the law which require
the use of certain patented inventions alleged
by them TO be both costly and inefficient, and
argue that as long as they are compelled to use
specified appliances, so long will competition be
prevented, expenses be increased, and the safety
or life be imperilled. They insist that 1t is
their interest to use the best machinery and to
make their vessels safe. The public, in view of
the recest terrible cases of less of life on pas
senger steamers, is forced to a different conclu-
sion, and, II the law is to be changed, would no
doubt favor one little more stringent, and
that whatever regulations are adopted, they be
more strictly enforced than the present ones.
