OUrRAGEoUs.-Am most shameful out
rage was committed in North Wheeling
on Thursday night. Some unknown
parties went to the coffee house of Jacob
Dauber, on Main street, and tried TO gel
in. Being unable to obtain entrance
they smashed the windows with stones
and fred pistols through them, the balls
striking in the bar room. Such an out.
rage as this should not 60 unpunished
and we are satisfied that Sergeant Davis
will make every exertion to capture the
perpetrators.

THERE is a woman in Wheeling who
has buried FIVE husbands. The other
evening she married the sixth. Upon
the day Of the wedding a man called at
the house of the groom asked for that
gentleman, and then proceeded to meas
ure his body with tape line. The i'm
fatuated groom entertained the idea
that this might, perhaps, bea man sent
around by his tailor. After the cere-
mony in the church, however, the hus-
band was surprised to find this same
person standing in the vestible and
winking furiously at the bride, as the
party came out to the carriage. just
as they were starting off this mysterious
being put his head into the carriage
window and whispered to the bride,
Got a ready made one that will just
suit him. Beautiful fit Beau u ti-ful |"
The happy man demanded the name OF
the iatruder. The bride blushed and
said she believed it was II. Frank, the
square dealing one price clotbier, whom
she had sent for to take his measure
for one OF those perfect fitting, ready
made custom suits, as his philopena
present The groom was just about
feeling happier than ever, when who
but his mother-in-law, intimated that
that he was some kind OF an undertaken.
rIhe man was not so happy any more.
He was hardly happy at all, and cer-
tain gloom seemed to overcast the
honeymoon. Perhaps Frank, the CLOTH
er or the undertaken Git matters not
which, was rather too prompt, but
still we like to see man take an in
terest in his business, thus we advise you
to call at 40 Monroe street.

The Shauder Murder Case !
Application for a New Trial
THE POINTS RELIED ON.

The matter OF interest in the Circuit
Court yesterday, was the application Of
Taylor Strauder, convicted Of murder
in the first degree for killing his wife
Annie Strauder, on the 18th day Of
April, 1872, through his attorneys,
Messrs. Davenport and Dovener for a
new trial.
The points on which the defence
rested their application are briefly as
follows:
lst. Because the omissions and mis-
takes OF officers Of the Court operated
disasterously to the prisoner.
%. Two OF the jurors were disquali-
fed. One OF them. ]. II. Stamp is an
alien, subject of Queen Victoria, and
not a citizen OF the United States.
Another, Thomas Reid, was prejudiced
and had said in the hearing of others
at the time Of the murder, that 1.-THE
scoundrel ought to be hung" and be-
cause of that prejudice was not quail
fed to sct as juror.
Sd. Because the challenge 10 the ar
ray OF the panel made by the prison.
ers' couUsel was over-ruled by the
Court.
4tb. There is no evidence before the
jury that the offence was committed
within the jurisdiction OF the Court.
5. Improper evidence was permitted
to 20 to the jury, and competent evil
dence for the prisoner was excluded, to
the prejudice OF the defendants cause.
9th. The verdict was contrary TO the
evidence in the cause.
7lh. Because new evidence has been
discovered of great m oment to the prls'
oner, which will either acquit or reduce
the verdict to manslaughter.
Sth. That the Court erred in not hav-
ing Taylor Strauder, examined by the
County Court.
9th. That the court erred in not
quashing the panel Of jurors.
The argument was opened by Mr.,
Dovener for the application, who pro.
duced a vast array Of law authorities
in support OF the legal points above set
forth.
Mr.. Dovener was followed by Pros
ecutiug Attorney Cracraft, who also
offered a great number OF authorities
in support of his resistance 10 the mo-
ton for new trial, showing that the
question OF alienage was not to be taken
into consideration after a verdict was
rendered, though it would have
excused the juror before the
hearing was commenced. lie also
produced authorities to show that the
expressions made by a person at the
time OF hearing of the commission OF a
great crime would not debar that per-
son from serving as juror if there was
no malice or no firmly Get conviction OF
the guilt of a party, SO that it could not
be removed by the evidence. The other
points made by the defense were taken
up one by one and answered from the
, authorities ain the books."
After the arguments were concluded
the Court announced that he would
take time sufficient to examine the au-
thorities submitted, and render his
judgment on the application at the
adjourned session TO be held about
June Both.
