two exceptions bear date more than ten
months after the murder was committed
Two applications, as already stated
were made to my predecessor for a
Communication of sentence-one as late as
March, 1872 and there is no evidence
that any such statement was presented
to him, nor is there any reference to one
in his letter denying the latter applica
ton
1t is settled principle in this State
that ex parte affidavits or statements by
jurors impeaching the yerdicts they have
reAdered under the responsibility OF
their oaths, will not be received by the
courts in support of applications for
new trials. Indeed, believe it may be
stated as rule far more widely accept
ed, that the courts will not suffer Jury
"to explain by affidavit the grounds of
their verdict to show that they intended
something different from what they
found. Whether the rejection of such
atfidavits ana statements be founded
upon the belief that, by reason of the
protracted deliberations of iuries in
many cases, and the differences of opin-
ION to be reconciled in coming to the re-
quisite unanimity, they could be easily
procured; or whether they be rejected
upon the ground that, statements made
under no responsibility cannot be per
mitted to overthrow adjudications made
under the highest, it can hardly be
doubted that they would tend, if admit
ted, to unsettle the administration of
justice, and render executions under
capital convictions nearly impossible.
Some of the reasons which govern courts
in refusing to receive such Statements in
support of applications for new trials.
ought in my judgment, to govern the
Executive in applications for the COM
mutation of sentences. In the Judges
charge to the jury, he said: Before
you can convict the prisoner of murder
in the first degree, you must be satisfied
from the evidence, not only that Foster
killed Putnam, but that he did SO with 3

The Story of a Lost Will.


Two or three months ago J.
Rowell, the furniture dealer on
Michigan Avenue, set about over
hauling a desk filled with old pa
pers-which had been accumuIat-
ing on his hands for several years,
until he could scarcely say whero
Or how he got the most Of them.
After throwing away a bushcl or
more OF tho documents, no came
upon paper sealed and tied with
red tape. He could not remember
having seen it before, and was
amazed when he broke the seal
and read, "Last will and testament
of Israel Whitworth." Getting fur
Their down he found that tho paper
was ninc years old, and that tho
will gave to Margaret Davis, my
sister, or her children, tho Gordon
farm, situated two and one,half
miles from ST. Joseph, Mo-, togeth-
er with all live stock and farming
utensils; further, the sum of $4,000
in bank in st. Joseph (unless
shall have withdrawn it, my gold
watch, my household furniture,
and tho one-half of what my house
in st, Joseph may bring at private
salc.'
SO read the will as far as the sis
ter and her kin were concerned,
and then Whitworlh made bcquosts
to several other relatives. Tho
will was dated "Detriot, Aug, 10,
1863" 1t occurred to Mr.. Rowell
that the will might be Of somo ac-
count to some one, and no wrote TO
to Mrs. Davis, directing the letter
to ST Joseph, Mo. In about two
weeks he received reply from
her, dated at Weston, in same
State, his letter having been for
wardod to that point. She stated
that her brother had been dead
nearly eight years, and that she
had never known ola will. The
property had been divided among
four near relatives of the deceased,
or should have been, bat three of
them had cheated her out of most of
what fell to her in:dlviding up, She
further stated that her brother had
n cousin in Detroit years ago, and
that he was in this city on q visit
about the date OF the will. Tho
cousins name was signed MS one of
the witnesses, and u MI. Johnson,
now in Cincinnati, was the other
witness. aiE
Rowell sent on the will, and Fri
day last he received q grateful let
ter from the woman, who said that
the will had been admitted to pro-
bate there, the witnesses called on,
and that she had been put in pos.
session of nearly $4,000 through
his finding the will. She caution
ed him to look out for an express
package, and will probably send
something handsome. The puz.
zling thing of the whole is that
Rowell cant tell where Oh when he
got the will, nor imagine how tho
deceased came to leave it where it
would fall into the hands of o
stranger. ~,

Why have we no fire organizatiomin
Dallas2 With a population ofseven
thousand, q large district built
entirely of wood buildings, and
with the very best material to form
such an organization, it is a shame
that we have mono, If our citizens
would reflect a moment, we feel
sure that some one would make
the necessary move. Is it to their
advantage to have fire organiza.
ton or not, and will it justify them
in expanding n little trouble and
money? We think it will. In
many instances, merchants have
largo stocks in buildings situated
on blocks built entirely of wood
houses--in other words, in frame
ranges. Now it is evident that
should 4 fire occur in one of these
ranges, there is no possibility of
saving any house in the range, with
the means we now have of fight
ing tho destroying element. A
crowd without some one to lead it,
we care not how large it may BEGAN
have but little effect upon n large
fire under full Roadway. In order
to do anything to arrest the de-
struction, it is absolutely necessary
that there should be some one to
direct. Every one knows how
much confusion there is at eve.
ry fire; even where there are
we'll organized fire companies, and
how difficult it is to command a
concert of action. How much
greater then must be the confusion,
and how much moro feeble must be
the effort to battleagainst the con-
suming flames, when there is moth
ing to work but an excited crowd
with no head whatever to direct Or
control it. In the single item of
insurance, a great advantage may
be gained by organizing a good and
eficientfiro company. Many grum-
bic at the apparent high rates Of
insurance that companies are eharg-
ing on buildings and stocks in our
city, but never seem to think of the
inevitable loss that fire insurance
companies must sustain, should u
fire occur, and all on account Of our
utter inability to arrest it.
Some may object to organizing
steam fire company on account of
the expense. This we hardly think
n reasonable objection, for Dallas
ought certainly to be able to sus-
tain ten fold this expense in a cause
80 necessary to her interests. But
if we can not have o steamer, let
us have o hook and ladder compa.
ny. Surely the expense of organ
izing and equipping such compa-
ny cannot BIO an objection. Besides,
with our present number of frame
buildings, such an organization, in
many cases, may be Of more service
than any other. Will some one
take the lead in q cause so necessa-
ry to the interests and safety Of
our city?

-Pratt's Astral oil works, occupying
the block between North Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets and First sfect, and the
river at Washington, N. Y, took fire, Sun
day evening, and were almost totally Dc
stroycd; loss between $50, 900 and 60 900,
insurance unknown, The fire originated from
leak i'll a still, which communicated with
the furnace. The man in charge noticed
oil trinkling into the furnace and went for
a hose to extingu'sl the fire, but before he
could do SO, the still exploded and the whole
building was in flames. The hydrauts were
frozen. and thus prevented the fremen from
playinn on the fir efor some time, and al
lowing the flames to gain ground. BY half
| the fire was subdued. The feed tank,
containing 500 barrels of oil, was saved by
the exertions of the fremen. and the gas
house, situated in an adjoining block only
escaped destruction by the cousta, applica-
tion of water. The entire quantity Of oil
consumed is nearly 5000 barrels.

an all-hcaling pain rtlieNor. Crirples throw
away their crutchcr, the lame walk, poisonous
bites are rendered han unless and the wounded
are healed without scar 1t is no humbug.
The recipe is published around each bottle. 1t
is selling as no article ever before sold, and it
sells because it does just what it pretends to do.
Those who now suffer from rheumatism, pain
or swelling deserve to suffer if they win not use

of remarkable cures, including frozen limbs,
