progress Of the soul-thrilling, heart
rending case of "Layman Kneeling"
against Her Knees" I had but little
conception of the tremend Gus charac-

most mOmeutous that has ever agi-

was called, this populous mining CEN
ter has been tho scene OF intense and
growing excitement. Thousands upon
thousands of the inhabitants of the
surrounding country have thronged
our streets and filled our numerous
hotels to repletion.
On the 101st day of the trial the evil
dence closed-with its purport my
previous dispatches have already
made you familiar. The scene was
grand and impressive. The vast am
phitheatre Of our courtroom was
crowded to overlooking by our most
illustrious citizens, and the massive
granite W Ills groaned again under
their unwonted burden. AS

After General Thornypath had
closed, :his Eminence
THE CARDINAL BISHOP,
Amidst the hushed expectation Of
thousands, opened the case for the de.
PENDANT. He confined himself to the
jumping side of the question, and
competent judges declared his argu,

It was universally conceded that he
looked at the entire question with the
single eye Of truth. Following his

JUDGE TOMTIT
Presented his view Of the case. He
devoted his week to concentrating
everything that had been put into the

addressed his Honor as

citizens, no weak link could be found
