Stokes was arraigned on Monday for
the murder of Fisk, when his counsel,
Mr.. Graham, moved to quash the in
dictment, on the ground that Fisk died
because the doctors didn't take proper
care of his wound, that the coroner's in
quest was in the interest of Fisk, and
other equally weighty arguments (?) and
after foundering like whale for some
time, another counsel for Stokes declar-
ed that Fisk had been the centre of
band of assassins, and though he did
not say it, we suppose he meant that
therefore it was necessary and proper
that Stokes should assassinate Fisk. The
result of this preliminary skirmish was
that the court did not know what to do
further till Thursday of this week.

THE New POSTAL REGULATIONS ON
NEWSPAPERS. Postmaster General Cres-
well has directed that the new regula-
tons on newspapers sent by mail be strict
ly enforced. No name or memorandum
can be made on newspaper inside of
the wrapper on which the address is
written. tits barely permissible to mark
an article with pen or pencil. More
than this subjects the paper to letter
postage and the violator of the law to a
fine. No printed card, handful or adj
vertisement, no written notice, letter or
slip of any kind whatsoever must be
folded in the paper. To do any of these
things is to violate the law. Printed
slips pasted on the outside, or folded in
papers and periodicals, soliciting notices,
are also violations of the law. Senders
of transient papers can send bundles Of
printed matted by weight or transient
postage charges, but must not send any
written matter il such bundles.

Terrlble Predicament OF a DC

SAVED BY COURAGE AND PRESENCE OF
MIND.
Saturday afternoon boy, about elev-
en- years of age, while crawling along
the leads of a house on Third street, near
Bryant, for the purpose of clearing the
obstruction in the water pipe, stepped
and rolled over the edge Of the roof.
In his desperate efforts to save himself
he succeeded in grasping the raised edge
of wood and tin that bordered the roof,
and so hung, suspended by his hands for
ty feet above the street, utterly unable
to regain his footing. The accident was
witnessed by woman on the opposite
sidewalk and her screams brought at
once to her side three men who saw, with
horror and amazement, the predlcament
of the poor boy, who, without a cry or
struggle, was hanging over certain death,
with only the frail grip Of his weak
hands. They ran across the street into
the house and up stairs towards the attic
when as they reached the second story,
sudden thought struck the last man,
and he let his companion go up without
him.
Underneath where the boy was hang
ing is small, old fashioned porch which
projects out about three feet from under
the centre window of the second story,
and out of this window the woman on the
opposite side of the street, and those
with her, saw ma step on the porch and
look up. AS he stood he was Immediately

ing just over the railing; he stepped
over the latter, and with his feet resting
on the edge Of the platform of the porch
and one hand grasping an iron support
he waited. In the meantime the Other
two men had reached the roof, and were
descending, when they discovered the i'm
possibility of reaching the boy in safety
and one of them called for rope.
Before any one could move to the aid
of the exhausted boy, he with shril
cry let 60 his hold and fell AS he ap
preached the man on the porch, the lat
ter was seen to reach out his free arm
under him, and then the boy was graspeC
by him. A cry of horror went up from
the crowd as the man was seen to stag
ger and swing around the end of tn
porch with his load but his hand hell
its grip on the iron, and moment after
wards he carried the boy through tn
window and turned him over to his moth

that Hepner has been hard drinker,
