A certain Mr.. DECKER Of San Jose, Tex.
a., had the misfortune to die suddenly.
and to possess, besides, several external
evidences that he had been struck with a
club. He was found lying in pool OF
blood and near him was stick Of wood.
A fellow lodger named Quimby was ar
rested for the crime, but was triumphantly
acquitted through able counsel, who con-
WINGED the jury of the following facts :
During a terrible thunderstorm bolt
struck telegraph pole on the corner Of
two streets, shattering the timber and
throwing splinters in every direction. One
of these splnters passed through the de-
pot, and then entered the window Of Mr..
Dicker's residence on the opposite corner.
Before Mr.. Dicker could inquire into the
cause of the disturbance he was smitten
to the floor Now" said the counsel.
'here is Mr.. Quimby, an innocent ledger
at said Dicker's house. who was seen
clambering out of the window after the
window was broken. ] will leave it with
you, gentlemen of the jury, if under the
circumstances. any one of you would not
have got out Of that building under like
circumstances The jury announced their
verdict without leaving their seats. Yer

New Hampshire Politics.

The nomination of Mr. Straw, of Manchester,
by the Republicans, probably completes the list
of candidates for the governorship of New
Hampshire. The democrats have renomiusted
Gov. James A. Weston Of Manchester The
Labor Reformers have selected Mr.. Lemuel 7.
Cooper, s farmer Of Croydon, as their martyr at
the polls. The temperance men have placed DR..
George Blackmer, Of Sandwich, in the field.
All these gentlemen are said to be personally
popular throughout the State. Mr.. Straw, who
carried the nomination in tins Republican Con-
vention. by 1898 votes to us for Horton
D. Walker Of Portsmouth, is native Of
New Hampshire and about ffty-hve
years Of age. He has been a member
and President Of the New Hampshire State Sen
ste and s said to be possessed of great legislative
and executive ability. He is managing agent Of
the Amoskeag Wooden Company at Manchester,
and also President of the New Hampshire Insur-
snce Company. In all respects he is 5 very
popular man in the State. The canvass will
doubtless be spirited one. and it is thought
will call out the bigges; vote ever polled. The
Republicans of the Granite State 20 in to the
contest with spirit, and we believe they will
elect their man.
