who is charged with having robbed the prl-
waite safe cf Mr.. X. S. Morse, City Hotel,

up about $4,000, and as two persons are
implicated in the affair as accessories after
che fact. quite an array Of attorneys was
made. Mr.. X. N. Ogden for the principal,
Mr.. &. Il. Braughn for Or. Clrich. Mr.. G..
l. Hall for Mr.. Teetzel and Messrs. II. H.
Walsh and !. G. Lewis for the prosecution.
The charge against Stout was first cocsid-
cred.

:a:ned the combination to open the safe
Iro,t Dir. Morsee memorandum book, and
that lie gave come of the stolen bonds to
Dr. Ulrich; witness fel. sure that Stout had
opened the safe and taken the property;
accused had been employed il the hotel
about twelve years, and had left it twice
witEaas satisfactory cause; also drank

bonds; that accused had acknowledged his
guilt, telling where some Of the property

an order for the bonds to be returned.
THIS closed for the prosecution. Defense
asked 70 nave DR., Ilrich called as witness
1or Stout, but as the Doctor is in as an ac-

Lowered to 5000 each; given. Bond for
Stout reduced to $4,000; remanded, for

resignation as a member Of the Board of
Police Commissioners, and appoint Judge

after the Metropolitan Police resumed duty
on the twentieth Of September. General
Baldey sent in his written resignation as a
commissioner, but Governor Kellogg would
not accept it, returning the document. but
II was sent back to hin. The General was
persuaded by several of his personal friends
TO remain in the office until such time as
Superintendent Badgers physical condition
should be definitely settled. As General
Baidey % vice president Of the police board,
LIE, by law, must act as superintendent
when the real incumbent is unable to full.

September, General Baldey has very salts
tactorily acted as superintendent, buc now
that Mr.. Badger will probably recover
speedily, he intends to vacate his seat and
the board. II it be trae that Judge Miller

at the State House yesterday to confirm the
sumor concerning Judge Mnier's appoint

MIRACLES ANCIENT AND MODERN

Have miracles occurred in our day?
The thing is not possible" say some; "the
age of miracles is past" But this begs the
question. What right have We to affirm
that the age of miracles is past? Give us
sufficient evidence Of a modern miracle
and We must admit il.
This is the true attitude in the case. II
one affirms, let him give the proof; if one
denies, let him do it on the ground that no
sufficient proof has been adduced. Prof.
Seelye puts it right in the following state
ment, originally published in the CORgre-
gdtioHdliSt. 1t will be seen that the atti-
tude demanded applies to the alleged mira
cles of all times:
s'The only proper attitude towards this
question, and the only true scientific
method, is to inquire whether such occur
rences have actually taken place-an in
quiry whose answer is only to be gained
through a careful sitting Of the evidence
which declares them. If we find wonders
reported, which turn out to be no miracles,
but only delusiOns of witchcraft and magic,
these no more initiate against the reality of
miracles than does an abundance of ooun-
terfeits against the reality of genuine coin.
If we find some miracles reported for
which the evidence fails, this no more
precludes our finding others Of undOubted
verify than do false statements in other
matters prevent us from learning anything
true. Let the quality Of the reported mir
acle and its evidence be sifted to its ut
most, and, while we reject nothing from
preconceived skepticism, let nothing be
taken in credulOus superstition. Let the
eye be open and clear, and the heart re-
ceptive and responsive only to the truth,
and if miracles are proved by sufficient teS-
timony to have taken place, the wise man
will accept them, and follow their conclu-
sions, whatever these may be-"

Mr.. Richard Penistan, of Kentucky, yes

four years old. 1t will be remembered
that Fellowcraft made the fastest four mile
time on record-7:19a-at Saratoga last
summer, beating Wanderer and Katy Pease.
This grand horse will now be retired from
the turf and put to the stud. The price
paid by Mr.. Penistan for FellOwcraft is a
secret between buyer and seller. Mr.. Pen

OF the fastest young trOtters in the world,

The FLY Lady Stout, three years old last

that age at Lexington, in 2:30!, 2:29, 2:S2J.
Three days after this race the filly was
given public trial in the presence of a
large assemblage on the same course at
Lexington, and she trotted in 2:3OB, 2:2S3,
2:2S, the fastest time ever made by a three
year-Old. This performance stamped Lady
Stout the fastest and best three-year-old in
the world. Mr.. Penistan also owns Lady

that can trot mile in 2:2T.

THE yOGHr ExrRAD1TioN CASE.

Carl VOght was valet to the Chevalier
Du Bots De Blanc, a wealthy and venera-
bic gentleman residing in Brussels, two
years ago. The old man was murdered,
the premises robbed and fired, and VOght
fled to America. The inference that he was
guilty of the triple crime was irresistible,
but though arrested in New York he could
not be returned to Belgium because of
the absence of an extraditiOn treaty with
the United States. While held in the
Tombs, VOght was visited periodically by
a woman who had followed him from over
the sea, and who was supposed not only to
have full knowledge of her companions
felOnies but also to be the custodian Of his
plundered bonds. Discharged from the
Tombs, VOght was thrown into the Lud-
low street Jail on the suit of a nephew
of the murdered man, who sought
by an action in tort, to recover
the value of the bOrds. When the case
came up for hearing last week it was
postponed because of the failure to arrive
of evidence expected from Belgium. The
nephew, however, offered to discontinue
the suit, and compound with Voght, if he
would transfer all the securities i'm his pos
session, and agree not To- prosecute for false
imprisonment. Evidently the nephew was
more intent on securing bis uncle's inheri-
lance than upon revenging 'his foul and
most unnatural murder"

FASHIONS FERN.

A New York correspondent. speaking Of
florists, says: "a year or two ago smilax
was all the rage. Men sold il on all stree,
corners, and ladies purchased Il to trim
their hair and dresses with. II has, how
ever, been superseded in public favor in
this city by another plant Of somewhat
similar appeaTance-the Hartford Fern.
This is now sold along the streets, and the
trade is quite lively. For a long time
ladies using this fern were compelled "a
press il themselves, and IN this way it be-
came a nuisance rather than a pleasure.
1t can nOR be purchased already pressed,
thus saving a great amount Of trouble
When pressed it lasts a long time, and is
very pretty. 1t grows exclusively in Hart
ford, and can there be found in the woods.
The people used to tear it up by the roots
and sell the plants to outsiders, but it is a
hard thing to cultivate, and that trade has
been discontinued. The quantities that
were taken would soon have destroyed it
entirely, but law was passed prohibiting
people from picking it except al a certain
season and in prescribed quantities"
