The Burglary Trial.

CONTINUATION OF JUDGE dIPIN's CHARGE TO THE
JURY.
You have now the general rules Of law. and
now charge you that IL you are satisfied that the
evidence warrants you in finding these indict-
ments correct, then the corpus delisti of this
crime Is proved. You must be satisfied that there
was an intent to commit felony, and this must
be proved as othor facts. and this rarely is prov
ed by direct testimony, but mostly by the circum-
stances surrounding the case and by infering tile
intent. EAll that now remains is to prove who per-
petrated this crime WASH the prisoners at the
bar or not And this touches the question of
identity, and to this question are applicable the
rules Of actual and circumstantial evidence. -
Here the latter is often stronger tina the
former species of the two kinds of evidence
Both have their merits and demeFits But in all
cases, the juries base their conclusions upon the
presumption that the witnesses have spoken the
truth. It is apparent that actual evidence may
be more easily fabricated than chain OF circum-
stantial evidence. Benton says, two links of
circumstantial evidence, taken apart, may weigh
but feather, but put them together and they
may burden the criminal down like milestone.
We are compelled, in our very lives, to rely al
most entirely upon presumptive evidence.
express no opinion as to these men being
identified as the burglars, but call your atten-
ton to some OF the facts proved here. Mr..
Floyd swears FIVE men entered his house and
describes the dress OF some, the flight from
the house, and the leaving of the jimmy. But
the family identify none. l call attention to
the line Of flight, and the articles found. and
their resemblapca to the articles found in Mr..
Floyd's house al those found at the Poplar St.
House; whether the tools are burglarious is also
for your consideration.
call attention to the witnesses seeing them
near or about these houses at Poplar and Kirk
wood streets, and you must give these witnesses
all the weight your best judgment will warrant
To Justify conviction, the Inference you form
must flow from the facts. II you can exclude
every hypothesis but that of guilt, say your
duty is clear,
But no preponderence OF evidence merely
should sway you. You must be convinced be-
yond doubt II you doubt, the defense say
you must acquit, That is not so. The doubt
must be reasonable doubt not mere doubt
which can be most easily raised with reason per-
vading it,. 1t must be doubt which the sworn
duty as a jury compels them to entertain.
think, gentlemen, you have enough common
sense to take in the whole situation 80 as to
arrive at an intelligent verdict. and with
these remarks leave the case to you.

A New EpIscopaI church.

meeting of Protestant Episcopal clergymen
and laymen, in sympathy with Bishop Oummins,
was held in New York, yesterday, and q new
church was organized under the title Of the RE
formed Episcopal Church" declaration of
principles was adopted expressing belief in the
Apostles creed, the divine institution OF Bap-
tism and the Lords supper, aud the doctrines
OF grace set forth IN the thirty-nine articles |;
adherng to Episcopacy not as a divine right but
as a desirable form of church policy retaining
as the basis OF its liturgy the book OF
Common Prayer OF 1885. The declaration re-
jects the doctrines that Christian ministers are
priests in another sense than that in which all
believers are priesthood that Christ is really
present in the Lords supper and that regener-
alton IL inseparAbly connected with Baptism.

In DEATH NOT LONG DIVIDED Mrs. Naomi e
wife of the late Davis Missimer, died. yesterday
afternoon, two days after the burial Of her hus-

to be question for several days which would
survive the longest, she or her husband. In the
death of these two so near together, there is q
touch Of peculiar sadness. Consumption over
took Mr.. M. and prostrated him, and it was while
watching at his side that his wife's constitution
gave way until she became in = condition similar
to his own. The case is one OF rare coniugal
affection, and in these days OF reports of family
jars and marital arrangements becomes more
conspicuous.

To further tins object suggest that small

river and the tributaries into Bolivia, and TO re-
port to Congress at its next session, or as soon

water its resources and the population SO reach
