Dubllcan, was married ut four O'Clock
yesterday morning to Miss Forrest A.
Shirley, daughter OF Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Shirley. The ceremony was
performed at the brides parents
house by the Rev. Fl. A. Delamayter.
The bride was dressed In a travelling
suit, and looked as beautiful as brides
only can. Our junior partner, not.
withstanding his weight Of years anu
the burdens Of life, looked fresh, hap
by and fascinating. Even the early
hour In the morning at which ne
donned the matrimonial harness, did
not prevent him from appearing also
In full dress, and ready for n honey
moon tour. Immediately after the
ceremony the happy couple stepped
on board the morning train for u
Francisco. We had them duly labeled
for their destination and placed under
the strict surveillance Of the conductor
and several other gentlemen and ladies
who were on the train. A committee
of two also accompanied them as far
as the Summit to give them their break.
fast, look after their welfare, and In
struct them how to act upon their ar
rival In San Francisco. II the young
couple during their tour will observe
the instructions so freely given them
by their friends, there will be no dam
ger of their becoming lost or commit
ting any serious indiscretion. We
commend these "%innocents abroad "
to the kindly consideration OF our
friends In San Francisco.
We learn from Henry Greeley, who
returned from Nevada City last even
Ing, that a man called Johnny Mack
shot at VIM. Gregory yesterday FORE
noon. The weapon was so close 10
Gregory's person at the time the shot
was fired that the clothes OF the latter
were set Oh fire. although bis person
was unhurt. Leroy Curry, proprietor
of the Dutch Flat stage line, who was
near by at the time. had his hat perfo-
rated BY a bullet. Crary did not re-
main longer In that vicinity. Mack
was arrested and fined $40. 1t would
appear from this that shooting at q
man at the county seat is a worry tri-
fling offense.

name Of Mike Murphy, In the alley
way between Tommy Douglas saloon
and Whitton's building, during which
Murphy received o wound In the left
side, between the groin aud the hip,
from which blood flowed freely. The
wound was evidently made with the
blade Of a.pocket knife, and u consid-
cred BY the physicians to have pene-
trated Tho cavity of the abdomen. At
the time OF writing Murphy Is consid-
cred In . dangerous condition. The
cause of the trouble will perhaps be
more fully developed today. Ed

IN his address at the opening Of the
Indiana State Fair. Senator Morton Of
that State, made some Interesting
statements, while referring Incidental
ly to the important question Of cheap
transportation. He argued that this
problem can most easily be solved BY
the multiplication Of tracks and the
use OF steel rails. With regard to the
latter, he affirmed that with Indiana
block coal, Bessemer steel rails can be
made cheaper than iron rails, and as
they will last seven or eight times as
long as Iron ones, their employment
becomes an important element In
cheapening the construction OF rail-
roads, reducing the expense Of keep
Ing them up and cheapsning transpor
tation. In this connection he Informed
his audience that he had then In his
possession a proposition from a distin-
guished business mau In Holland to
build a railroad with four tracks. from
New York City west to some point In
Ohio or Indiana. then two tracks d.
verging to Chicago, and two going to
st. L~ouis-these tracks to be laid with
steel rails, and the road to be construc-
ted In the most substantial manner
with private capital, and no aid asked
from any State or from the general gov
eminent, the only condition Of the
proposition being that the road shall
be chartered by Congress. There
ought to be no doubt Of the Immediate
acceptance Of such q proposition.

horse had been brought out a short
time before. exerclsed and taken back
TO the stable to be cooled of for the
grand event Of his life. He was final
" brought Out OIL to the track for the
trial. Two additional timers were ap-
pointed to hold watches, so that there
should be no mistake In regard to the
time made. The general impression
prevailed that the horse would not do
it, the chances being greatly against 1t.
A running horse was brought out to
keep the horse company while the
trial was being made, but he was never
allowed to 20 ahead Of the horse.
Everything being In readiness, James
Tenant his young driver, went down
the stretch for the word. After o
couple Of scorings the bell was tapped
and away he goes, thousands OF eyes
watching hun at every stride. The
first quarter was made In $50 Sec

felt doubtful about his ability to &C
compllsh the feat now, but he FOUNDED
the far turn very rapidly and swung
into the homs-stretch at q tearing gait.
Down the long work the pace was
truly a terrific one. steady as the walk.

Every eye was anxiously bent On the

the wish being almost univeral
to have the feat accomplished, for
the reputation Of our State In the
breeding of fast horses. As every
stride brought him nearer to the goal
the excitement became intensified, aud
when he had crossed the score without
q break, loud cheers rent the air by
those who were holding their watches
on him, denoting that the grand feat
had been accomplished. The scenes
tbat were enacted were rather ludi-
croua n the part of many ; but when

up on motion for q new trial on exceptions
Wright was brought into the courtroom about

all the judges on the bench-Mr. Henkle, for
the prisoner, proceeded to read the billS OF eS-
ceptions, in which the charge Of Judge Mac
Arthur is fully set out
Gen. Henkle said that the court below charg-
ed the jury that an alibi was an independent
defence, and that the defendant must establish
IL to their satisfaction. The defence claims this
ruling as erroneous, and they maintain that II
upon the whole evidence, Including the evil
dence upon the alibi. the. jury entertained
doubts of the guilt of the prisoner, they should
acquit HIM, and cited II Indiana reports, 10
Ohio state r., 10, and other authorities, and
