The CnAMPLAIN CANAI.--A computation
Of the expenditures upon and receipts of
the Champlain since its construction has
been made, and it is found that the profits
of the canal have been triilc over -. 000,-

has been q source Of revenue 20 the public

gone toward paying for the enlargement
and maintenance of other canals. And

posed to make any appropriation for i'm

If the state will only appropriate to it the
money the northern canal has earned and
give it the money it will earn in the future

cides not to adopt the views considered
valid at the commencement Of
this case. but will measure the
punishment solely upon the basis Of
the evidence brought out during the
trial. ssTherefore,' concluded the
Judge, ''in the kings name, we declare
the accused not guilty either Of embez-
element or misdemeanor, but guilty of
an offense against public order, and
condemn Count Won Arnim to pay the
costs of the suit and to suffer imprison-
ment for three months, less the term of
confinement already undergone.
The sentence was received in perfect
silence; there were no scenes of excite
ment within the room, as had been ex-
pected. The moral impression was
that the verdict was tantamount to an
acquittal. Count Won Arnim made his
exit through private door leading from
the court room, and thus avoided the
public gaze.
Six weeks grace have been allowed
the count before he is to go to prison.
In the meanwhile all police restrictions
have been removed, and he will be per-
mitted to ride or walk at any length he
may desire without interference.

TALLY ONE FOR WESTON.
After a Multitude of Failures He
Wins at Last.
(From the New York Sun. 2lst.1

From the New York Sun, DIST
The indomitable Weston finished his
journey Of five hundred miles in the
Newark Industrial Exposition building
at thirty-nine and a quarter minutes
past II o'clock on Saturday evening,
thus completing his task in twenty-five
minutes and three quarters less than
six days, the walk having begun at five
minutes past midnight on the morning
of Monday, Dec. IA. This is his rec
ord; but he actually walked more than
five hundred miles, as he made the cir
cult of his track in the absence of two
of the judges, and rather than have
any loop-hele for charge Of unfair
ness in the count, he insisted that the
judges should not count these laps, and
that they should put on the records
only what they themselves saw and
could swear to.
On the first day Weston walked one
hundred and fifteen miles in fifty-eight
seconds less than twenty-four hours.
He then rested 4h., SON., and rs. On
the second day he walked IS miles and
rested Oh, l2m., and 33s. His third
days walk was 80 miles, and his rest
4h.. 5lm., and OILS. Fourth day, 80
miles rest, 3h.. 45m., Us. Fifth day
IS miles; rest. 4h., AIM, 53s. On the
sixth day he walked IS miles, resting
only 27m., and 55s., much of his food
being given him by his physician while
he continued his walk On the track.
His average time was fourteen minutes
and fourteen seconds to the mile. His
fastest time was made on the 225th and
23Oth miles. These he made in ten
minutes and eighteen seconds.
The exhibition building was crowded
on Saturday evening so that there was
scarcely standing room, and there
having been rumors that some New
York roughs who had bet against Yves.
ton intended to interfere and prevent
him from making his 500 miles, Judge
Mills and the Mayor and the Chief of
Police of Newark had the place sur
rounded by strong force of policemen.
The conclusion of the journey was
greeted with thunders Of applause, and
after the subsistence Of the cheering it
was announced that number of the
PEDESTRIANS Newark admirers had sub
scribed for a $500 gold watch and a
purse Of $1,000, to be presented to him
on day to be designated BY him this
week.
Mr.. Henry c. Jarrett, manager of
Booths theatre, having wagered near y
$1,000 on Weston's success, was natur.

and, therefore, repeatedly sent encour.

evening Weston responded as follows :

The St. Paul DISPATCH Of Tuesday

the La Crosse republican and Leader,
and purpoIting to be news, with the
above caption. It states that Cameron
& Rossetter have commenced suit in
the U. S. Circuit Court against Messrs.
Thompson, Hubbell and Willard,
claiming upwards Of ninety thousand
dollars as due them for work on the
Mank alto & Wells railway. This suit was
commenced nearly two years ago, and
has been pending in the courts ever
since. In view Of which. fact We sub
nit to our contemporary that this is
having stale news, and that it is some
what sensational to announce $4,000
as claimed to be due withou. also stat
ing that the whole Indebtedness is de-
MED by the defendants, whose sworn
answer denying it IN toto has been on
file in circuit court year and = half.
No one who knows the defendants and
their character and standing, will be-
lievc without positive proof, that they
refuse to pay an actual. honest indebt'
edness.

plaintiffs got in debt to divers persons

They Rescued the Dog.
(From the Pottsville (Pa.) Journal. l

kcIOIu Tue LOUISVILLE \Td.j JOUTuhlt
The other day young man named
Benjamin Machamer, one Of the best
hunters in Northumberland county,
made q remarkable escape from we'll
into which he fell. This well is in the
lower part Of the town of Trevorton,
near the old round-house. So long a
.ime has elapsed since it has been in use
that its existence was almost forgotten.
1t is about eight feet wide and eighteen
feet deep, and at the present time con-
tains ten feet Of water. 1t was covered
with plank the day in question. Macha-
mer started out i'll pursuit of game, ac-
companied by his dog, valuable setter.
His path lay near the old well, into
which his dog had the misfortune to fall,
through hole caused by the decaying
planks. The dog was highly priced by
MIR. Machamer, who, in attempting to
rescue it, fell in himself. In an ordi-
nary sized we'll the situation would
have been dangerous. and in this case
it was extremely so, As the unusual
width Of the we'll prevented him from
bracing himself against the side. The
only possible way for him to get out
was to elm up one side, and, as the
wall was very closely built, this was
difficult feat. But it was struggle for
lite, and MIR. Machamer, being young
man of powerful strength and great en-
ergy. resolved to try. He succeeded in
almost reaching the top, only to
lose his mold and fall back. Again and
again he climbed up the side Of the wall,
and each time fell back into the cold
water beneath. Every time he fell
back the half-strangied dog would
spring upon his shoulders, thus bearing
him down and keeping him under wa
ter. In spite Of this difficulty, how
ever, he would succeed in regaining the
wall. At one time he became faint
from the effect Of the impure air. He
had found small stick floating on the
water, which he inserted in the wall,
and placed one foot upon it,
then put both hands in
another aperture, thinking if he did
swoon he might possibly hang there
until he returned to consciousness. The
faintness, however, passed away, and
he again attempted to reach the top.
Finding that his clothes greatly i'm.
peded his progress, he succeeded in
divesting himselfof his coat and boots,
one of which he threw out, leaving the
other with the coat to sink to the bot
tom. Thirteen times he climbed up
the side OF the well, and thirteen times
he fell back into the we'll. His perse-
verance surpassed that Of the tradi.
tional spider, for he had great odds to
contend with. At last, almost worn
out, he made final effort and reached
the top. He didn't wait for the dog,
but started for home Immediately and
told his story. His father and another
gentleman returned at once and res
cued the dog. Mr.. Machamer states
that he was in the we'll an hour. The
escape was wonderful.
