ner will remember that on the 10th
of May, 1878, little child of Tenn
perance McDearmon, residing near
the corner of Fogg Street and Ste
venson Avenue, having wandered
from the house, was crossing the
railroad track at the Fogg Street
crossing, when il was run over IS
a freight tram and instantly killed.
Soon afterward the mother of the
child instituted a suit in the Circuit

600 damages, alleged to have been
sustained in the death Of the child,
who was only few years old The
ease was tried last year, and Il YER
diet returned in favor of the plain
tiff for $4,000. From this occasion

The Constable. with one Harris,

charged with gaming, when he fed
and both shot at him, the ball en-
tering his back. He died immedi-
ately. The parties gave up their
arms, and will be brought TO Gala
tin for trial. Hoskins was about
twenty-five years old and without
a family.-Gallatin Ex., Oct. p.
The instances in which officers of
the law resort to the pistol in at
tempting to make arrests are be-
coming lamentably frequent. And
yet an offer has no more right to
shoot a fleeing man whom be seeks
to apprehend, tAan one citizen
would have, under like circumstan-
ces. There are very few cases IN
which an officer is justified in using
his pistol, much less in taking life.
If the Examiners account be cor
rect, the killing of Hoskins amour
ted TO murder.
