In the year 1867, the "sewer act, so called,
was passed. Beside the provision for assessing
real estate, it provided that sewer scrip might
be issued to an amount not exceeding 100000.
The act was to be void unless submitted to the
voters of said city and approved by majority of
those voting. April 1G, 1867, the vote was
taken, and BIG persons voted yea, 40 nay. So
little understood was the project and so little
interest manifested, that of the SIX or seven
thousand voters of the city only 365 came to the
polls. Little did the people of this city dream
of the gigantic plans seething in the ever-teem-
ing brain of the originator of the sewer system
to whom the building of coliseum or the CON
struct0n of an Appan way seemed but baga-
ele. In his glowing imagination he saw only
countless multitudes Of coming ages. The pres
ent day and its generation were TO him as

and beguiled by his skillfnl presentation of the
case, and the aluring words capital and in

duct, and brief designation of the method by
which it was obtained; the chemicals used in
each experiment were first carefully tested, TO be
sure of their purity, and that arsenic was not ae-
cidentally present in any of them; each expert
ment was also first made without adding por-
ton of the suspected substance from the body of
the deceased as further assurance that there
could be no source of error in the materials or
vessels employed; and finally each experiment
was repeated with the substitution of piece
of beef liver for similar portion of the human
body or its contents. The conclusions derived
from such searching tests of course are indis-
putable; a mathematical demonstration could
hardly be more convincing. 1t is proved that
the substance committed to Professor Barker as
a part of the contents of the deceased mans
body contained arsenic in quantities sufficient
10 cause death. The counsel on either side need
give themselves no farther concern on that
point, for no ingenuity can change that con
clusion.
As il is in the highest degree desirable where
human life is at stake, that evidence should be
had which amounts to absolute certainty, and
as expert testimony in general is VIGOROUSLY
the most unsatisfactory of all, it is gratifying
to find one instance of an expert who understands
the resources of his science and is capable Of
bringing them to bear with all their force upon
the matter in hand. 1t is true that not every
science has been so thoroughly explored or is in
its subject matter capable of giving so precise
and tangible results as chemistry; hut it is true
also that chemists of considerable repute have,
in some recent trials of importance, given con-
Trajectory evidence and, instead of establishing
any facts beyond dispute, as their duty to the
science they cultivate aud to the cause of justice
required, have by their ignorance or careless
ness hopeessly confused what was at first
doubtful and done what they could TO bring
science into contempt.

arouse the slumbering passengers and inform
them of their critical condition. Without pay

Just as the freight locomotive crushed into the
