Awful Rctribltion.

Goss TRACKED FKOM THE TINE OF HIS FICTI-
TloUs END TO THAT OF HIS REAL HORRIBLE
DEATH.
We think 1t may be safely said that the Goss
mystery has been solved. The poor fugitive
has been tracked through all his devious wan
derlngs from the time that he lied from his
burning shop until he took his seat in a carriage
with Undertook and drove away from the VIII
lage Of Jennerville to his death. On the night
the fraud upon the insurance companies was
consummated by the burning of a dead boil
procured in New York in the little board shanty
at WRverly which he called his "laboratOry -
his brother took him to the President street
depot in the buggy hired from DIR. ThOrne and
lie started on his travels nOIthward. He passed
through the state of New York and, crossing
over into Canada, spent a couple months at
Montreal and other towns in the Provinces
Then he went to his old home in Ten
nessoe. But the pending case against the
Mutual Insurance company, like a baleful
lOadstone, drew him back 70 the vicinity
of Baltimore, and the other conspirators
were obliged TO provide him a hiding place.
where they could communicate with him and
prevent him from betraying the secret I'd
derZoOk first obtained home for him with an
acquaintance In Chester county, and when he
had worn out his welcome and his credit in that
neighboThOOd, he went to Newark, New jersey,
and spent portion OF the winter and spring In
that city. When Judge Bond postponed the
hearing of the motion made by the counsel for
the Mutual Insurance company for a new trial
till November. Undertook became alarmed lest
the plot should be discovered, and then poor
Co.'S was decOyed back to Chester county, and
when the dark plot had been fully matured, his
handsome BODY was cut aud hacked into the
shape of the unsightly trunk which he had i'm
ported from New York seventeen months be-
fore, TO personate himself. He never dreamed
that the resemblance would be so striking at
last.-BdttimOre american. Sd.

The meeting is thought to indicate that the

Quoted, but 1t was not determined whether il
should be made public or kept secret until its
close.-N. Y. Cor. Boston Globe

Mr.. Dana published in the sun a scaudalous
article about Hon. 4. X. Shepherd, president
of the Board of Public Works OF the District
OF Columbia. Mir. Shepherd proved before a
grand jury that the libel was circulated in the
District. One of the courts in Washington
made an order OF arrest aud issued a warrant
10 bring Dana to Washington to be tri-i Mr.
Dana resides in New York and his counsel filed
an application to District Judge Blatchf5rd for
the discharge OF Dana, on the ground that he
could not lawfully be taken out OF the state for
trial. Judge BlatchfOrd has discharged Dana
on the ground that the constitution OF the Uni-
ted States gives every citizen the right of trial
by jury, and that the court issuing this warrant
is not one in which he can have a trial by iury.
The decision il correct. But Mr.. shepherd
can obtain an Indictment in a district court OF
the United States, and cause Dana to be arrest
ed and tried in such district where the Sun IL
circulated.
For instance, the state of Vermont Is a dis
trct, and Dsna's Sun circulstes in Vermont
Mr.. Dana could be indicted in Vermont and
taken to Windsor for trial. or Mr. Dana could
be indicted in Buffalo. Would there be any
greater hardship in taking him TO Windsor than
TO Buffalo? The city Of Buffalo is one hundred
miles further from New York than Windsor
But Windsor is out of the state of New York
True enough, but what right has Dana 10 libel
a man out Of this state? And why should a
man out Of this state, or the citizens of YER
mont, or the District of Columbia, be compelled
70 come TO New York TO indct and punish
Dana? Danas crime was committed in the
city OF Washington, and the place TO try a
criminal Is where the crime was committed. M
Dana should steal a hundred dollars in Vermont
and be indicted for il there, he could, on demand
be taken from New York TO Vermont 20 be tried
III Dana steals a mans reputation in Vermont
or IN Washington, why should he not be taken
