AJUDDICIAL QUARREL-Coatest in Bait more
beireeH The City Judy. and ne SheriF.-A dis
patch to the New York Herald from Baltimore
Md, April %, says:-A strong sensation has
been created in Baltimore by the resignation of
Sheriff Kane, growing out of a quarrel bet yeen
him and Judge Gilmer, Of the city criminal
court. Kane some time ago refused to
place Gilmer's men on the grand jury. aui
since then Gilmer has taken every means 10
hinder Kane in the discharge of his official dn-
ties. Owing 10 the imbrogliO the business Of
The court has been DELAYED, and about three
hundred cases are in Jail awaiting action.
The criminal classes of the city, especially the
wealthy gamblers, have seized upon the onpor-
tunity, and with their political power have
sought to widen breach which secures chem
immunity from prosecution while il exists Po-
htical parties are also interfering, the wing of
the democratic party which gambling holses
support endeavoring to help in driving Kane
ont OF office. Governor Whyte has addressed a
letter to Kane asking him to reconsider his
resignation, but it Ia understood that he will not
90 so unless Gilmer gives way to him. II the
matter Is pushed to extremity, Kane's friends
threaten startling revelations of the manner iu
which criminals are protected by grand iuries
and courts. 1t is the most exciting topic raised
here since 1856.

LIGHTNING ROD MAN FALLS FIVE Sro-

LIGHTNING RoDS.-There was an acrohatic per
i0Tmance yesterday afternoon at the corner OF
Baltimore and Holiday streets. which far ex-
celled anything that has ever been witnessed at
me circus. man was engaged in putting a
ightning-rod on the large five-story building
owned and occupied by Mr.. George I'll. &. Neal,
dealer in dry goods, and was standing on rope
adder, which was suspended from a stout cable
fastened to one of the chimneys ON the npposte
side OF the roof. He was probably ten feet be-
low the cornice and sixty or seventy feet above
the pavement. "A considerable crowd of people
were attracted to the spot, and were looking on
in wonder while the courageous man piled his
work without the least regard to his perilous
position. Suddenly the knot by which the rope
ladder was tied To the cable gave way, and the
man dropped to the earth. Fortunately there
was pie OF store-boxes on the pavement, and
striking one OF these with his feet, the man
went through an inch board and was deposited
in the box, badly stunned, but not much hurt

scientific lectures delivered under the auspices Of
the American Institute, and was very ably
treated last evening by Professor Charles A.
Young, OF Dartmouth College. very fair
audience, including many ladies' was in attend
ance, and seemed greatly interested in the bril-.
liant experiments IN illustration Of the subject.
The spectroscope, according to the lecturer, had
solved in the most satisfactory manner problems
which had puzzled the leading astronomers aud
been a subject OF discussion for centuries. 1t had
not only enabled us to arrive at knowledge Of the
great constituent elements Of the san and the plan
etary world, but had also given us an approximate
idea OF their motions. BY the use OF the various
metals when volatlized in the spectrOscope It has
been ascertaned that the various substances per-
tanning to the earth exist likewise in
This result is attained by an analysis OF the solar
spcctra, each particular metal having, as the Pro-
lessor termed II, its peculiar signature as
