A KNOCK ON THE RxAD IN WASHINGTON AND
A STAB In BALTIMORE WHICH KILLED
HIN?
The Baltimore American of this morning gives
an account Of the death in the Lombard street
inhrmary in that city on Monday last of a IN an
named Timothy Manning, and says his death
was supposed by some to have been caused by
blow received in Washington some two years
ago with billy. 1t appears also that he was
stabbed In Baltimore a few weeks before CON-
ing to this city. A coroner's inquest was held
yesterday, when it appears that Manning had
been cut in the neck during an affray on the
18th Of December last in Baltimore, and was
removed TO the inhrmary, where he died; but
DR.. Sullivan, who had attended Manning, in
his testimony, attributed his death to the
wound in the head, which he received in Wash.
ington. DIR. Sanders testified that in the post
mortem examination he cut through the SCALP,
and turning it over, disodged the point OF a
knife-b blade that had been secreted between the
scalp and skull; that directly under the spot
where the knife point was found was a small
hole through the skull into the outer tissue of
the brain, which was greatly inhamed, and
from which considerable quantity OF pus
exuded- This Is thought TO have been caused
by the blow from the billy above described.
The verdict was that death was from a wound
instrument in the hands Of some person X :
known to the jury. Manning Is described to be
peddier, about thirty two years OF age and
!eaves wife and family. The records OF the
Pohce Court here DO not show that there was
any case OF assault and battery about the time
referred to in which Timothy Manning was
complaining witness, although such assault
may have occurred without having come before
the court.

The CoLvOCoRRssEs CAsE.-The Hartford
Pest says that the published statement to the
effect that the suits instituted by the heirs of
Capt COIvocoresses against number OF insur-
anee companies to recover the amounts of the
policies issued by them on the captains life
have been settled, is premature. Negotiations
nave been for some time In progress for a settle
ment on the basis Of payment of one half the
face OF the policies without interest, and il is
probable that such settlement will be effect
ed, but as yet the matter is not finally decided.
The further statement that the Travellers COM
pany, of Hartford, is the only one refusing to
settle, Is also entirely incorrect, that company
having some time ago expressed its willingness
to settle on the above terms. The sam total of
insurance Is $4,000, leaving S95, 900 to be paid
II the settlement is effected.

THE POwRR OF A LEGISLATURE TO REVERSE
LEGAL JUDGNEFTs.-It is not often that legis-
latures are called upon to reverse the indg-
ments of courts of law, and when they are the
case is worthy of serious attention. The Judi
ciaTy committee of the Maryland legislature is
listening TO arguments in the case OF joseph W.
Davis; convicted OF murder, the legislature be-
ing asked TO interfere to prevent the execution
of the sentence. Counsel for Davis argues that
it is competent for the Legislature to pass law
to meet this special case, and the Attorney Gem
eral contends that there is no constitutional
power of review over the judiciary vested in
the legislature.
