Stokes.

The Court of Appeals by a unanimous
opinion, has granted q new trial to E. S.
Stokes for the murder of Fisk. There
are two opinions written, one by Judge
Grover and the other by Judge Ruppalto
The charge to the jury is held to be er-
roneous on the point that the law pre-
sumes murder from the fact of killing, and
calls on the prisoner to mitigate or justify.
Also, that there were errors in excluding
proofs of threats by the deceased to kill
the prisoner also, an error in permitting
Mrs. Morse to contradict Jennie Turner in
collateral matter called out on the cross
examination of Jennie, namely,as to wheth-
or she left Mrs. Morse's against her wish,
and because the detectives were said to be
after her soon after the homicide. There
are other points discussed, but these are
the principal ones.
When Stokes was informed of the de-
cision he expressed himself we'll pleased.
His counsel, relatives and friends soon ar
rived at the Tombs, and there was good
deal of rejoicing among those interested in
the decision of the Appellate Court. Coun-
sci say that upon the next trial they will
prove to the satisfaction of the New York
public that there has been gross apprehen-
sion of the case from the day of tho trag-
edy, and they will be able to establish the
fact of his innocence by evidence of an
overwhelming character. b.

A Remarkable Murder Trial.

At Dover, Del, on the 18th inst, in the
West murder case the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty, on the ground of self
defense. DIR. Isaac G. West was put ON
trial for the alleged murder of colored
laborer, Henry Turner, commonly called
"Cooch" Turner, the crime having been
committed on the evening of Monday, De-
cember 2, 1879. In some manner and for
some reason as yet unknown, West killed
Turner in the dusk Of evening, in the office
Of the former. He cut off the head, hands
and feet; skinned the body with pocket
knife and then attempted to burn the
skin white with alcohol, with the intention
il the burning proved successful, to replace
the skin on the body. He made several at
tempts to get rid of the remains of his
victim, but.was unsuccessful. These at
tempts occupied his time from Monday
evening until the following Wednesday
morning, when an effort was made to de-
stroy the building by an explosion of pow
der, in the hope of obliterating all traces Of
the murdered man. This also proving
unsuccessful, DR.. West loft Dover, but
soon returned and gave himself up to the
Sheriff. After his incarceration he made a
detailed confession TO the Attorney GEN
eral, alleging that Turner was about to
assault him when he struck him in self
defense, and was Mortified to find that the
blow resulted in death. This confession
was generally discredited. DR.. West is
about thirty years Of age, native of Del
aware, and very respectfully connected. He
is man Of more than ordinary intelligence,
a graduate of Dickinson College, at which
place he studied both law aud medicine.
The prisoner was remanded to jail, an in
dictment for arson, having been found
against him.

A Tough story.

The Huntingdon Monitor says A short
distance below Petersburg are the cliffs"
They are about 450 feet high and at an an
gle of about 20 degrees. On Thursday last,
James Claybaugh, of that place, while en-
gagged hauling stone from the top of these
cliffs, with two horse team, in making a
turn too near the edge, the team went over,
turning several somersets and lodging
about twenty feet below. The driver went
down to where the horses had lodged and
discovering that one of them was choking,
cut the tangled harness when 1t rolled
down the entire distance, over ten distinct
and almost perpendicular slopes, the last Of
which is full thirty feet. The horse, in
stead of being killed OF terribly mangled,
was scarcely injured at all, and when Mr.
Claybaugh reached the foot of the slope
the horse was on its feet as though nothing
had happened. The other horse was drawn
up to the roadway on the top of the cliff by
ropes.

Bursting Of a Grindstone.

This morning about o'clock, large
grindstone, weighing over 2,100 pounds
burst into four fragments while running at
the rate of 200 revolutions per minute, in
the grinding and polishing establishment
of Peter Wirth, Christian street, north of
James street. One of the fragments weigh
ing about 500 pounds, was hurled through
the ceiling and out of the window of the
building, landing in the middle of Daniel
Browns lot, more than a hundred feet dis
tant. Another fragment, weighing about
800 pounds, was thrown through the cell
ing and lodged in the second story of the
building. The other two fragments were
thrown, respectively, in the front and rear
ends of the pit in which the grindstone
worked. Only moment before the acci-
dent, the grinder was sitting on his "sad-
die" "a very heavy oak log, three or four
feet in length.) He had scarcely left his
seat, when the stone burst, splitting his
saddle into splinters and landing in frag-
ments in different places as above describ-
ed. Nobody was hurt by the accident, and
though the building is considerably shat
tered, the loss will not probably exceed
$15O.-Lancaster Intelligencsr.

Fell into a Well.

Last week, widow lady named Smith,
residing about miles south of Lucas, Ohio,
paid visit to her son-in-law for the pur-
pose of spending day Or two with him,
and who also resides in the vicinity of Lu-
cas-. The son-iD-law unhitched the horse
from the buggy and was about leading it to
water and while doing so he was about to
place upon the back Of the horse one of his
little children to give IL ride, but before
he succeeded in doing SO, the horse com
menced backing and backed on to an old
covered well one hundred feet deep, which
gave way and the horse with the harness
on was precipitated, tail foremost, to the
bottom Of the we'll. No effort was made to
get him out and he was at once covered up.
Truly, lucky escape for the child.

London, June GA dispatch just re-
ceived from Alexandria, Egypt, says a
large con6agration is now in progress in
that city. A vast amount of property has
been destroyed. The magnificent palace
of the Sultan is now in flames, and will
probably be reduced to ashes. Great ex-
citement prevails, and every effort is being
made to arrest the progress of the confia-

London, June GA dispatch from Dub
lin says great fire is now raging in that
city. A crowd of persons whose object is
plumber hinder the efforts of the firemen
to extinguish the flames. At one time
they stoned the firemen and detachment
of soldiers which had been brought to the
spot to preserve peace. The latter charg-
ed on the mob, wounding many of them.
The mayor of the city, who was present,
was hit by one of the stones. Intense ex-
citement prevails in the vicinity of the fire
and the scene during the charge of the
troops was fearful. Property to the value
of $1,000, 900 has already been destroyed.

Old Mrs. Turner, Of New Albany, Ind,

fearing it might fall into the hands of some
careless person, she placed the stock in the
