New TRIAL.-Dr. Paul Scheppe, whose life
has been in the discretion of Governor Geary Of
Pennsy lvania, is now to have another trial for
his life. 1t will be remembered that Dr. SchGp-
pc was indicted, tried and convicted for poison
ing Miss Rachel Stiennecke of Baltimore city,
while a visit to Carlisle, nsylvania. Ex-
traordinary efforts were made TO procure par
don for hp from Gov. Geary, bu, all in vain
Toe case was carried to the Supreme Court Of the
State on writ OF error, but that tribunal oflast
resort decided that il could not disturb the YER
dict Of the jury. Meetings were held in many Of
the large cities and towns throughout the coun-
try and resolutions were passed appealing TO
Gov Geary TO commute his sentence or to in
duce the Courts TO give him q new trial. But
lhese efforts all proved iruiess. Finally his
friends appealed to the clemency oil the egisla-
iure OF the State. Through this channel spe-
cia act was procured tor the purpose OF bringing
additional testimony before The Supreme Court
and to have the re-opened. BY this
means he has been granted new trial and he
will he again tried al Carlisle 28th Instant
We bave no doubt that he will be able TO prove

CIVIL SERVICE IN THE Pa. CoNvENTIoN.-The
sixth resolution passed by the Pennsylvania
Republican convention on Wednesday of last
week reads as follows
Resolved, That trial shall be given the
Presidents Civil Service Reform and tn at this
or some other system have a fair trial, and
that the Republican party has given full evil
dence of its ability to administer the govern
ment honestly, faithfully and successfully, and
CLAIMS from the people a continuance of conf
dence and support
Thus Pennsylvania comes to the endorse
ment of President Grants rules for reforming
the Civil Service. And this is not because they
believe these to be superior in any degree to
others that might be instituted, but that faith
full trial of these will work out the end desired
and that is the reformation ofthe Civil Service
of the nation. By strict adhesion to these
sufficiently long to give them fair test, they
will either be adopted as the means of redemp-
ton as whole or will be amended so as to
suit the exigencies of the circumstances. Or
in the event of their entire rejection there will
be something better grow out OF their trial and
failure. No set of rules can b. planned per-
feet in theory without trial. Working with
them will best develop their merits and reveal
their dement's.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. The House OF Represent
atives has passed the bill for the prevention OF
cruelty TO animals This bill originated in the
Senate some time since We are Of the opinion
that there has long existed great need Of such
a law. It's object is to compel railroad compa-
MES to furnish comfortable transportation for
cattle and other animals, in order that they may
not suffer from want o. room, ease, air and
proper comforts while being sent from one desti-
nation to another. Companies have Teen in the
habit oi crowding into cars about t. 4 rs many
cattle can occupy them with any kind of com
fort TIE result has been that many o. these an
mals, being beef cattle, have been injured by be-
ing oVer-crowded and OVERHEAD These and
other injuries sustained 10y josling and jolts have
rendered them unfit for market, while they have
been butchered and placed upon the tsbles OF our
large cities and towns for food BY this means
vast numbers of people have been necessarily,
and mostly unconsciously, compelled to cal IN
wholesome beef. Congress, in making his addi-
ton to her statutes, does nothing more than in
stitute sanitary laws, the condition of whose ex-
ecution is the propagation OF the laws of health.
We trust the provision will be rigidly executed.
