THE

On account of getting short of ties,
the work of laying the track on the
Narrow-Guage has been delayed for
nor than a week. There are plenty
arriving now, however, and the road
will be in complete running order and
the iron horse put in an appearance at
the Chimnevs by the middle of next
week. Only six miles Of the track re-
mains to be laid, and the workmen are
putting it down at the rate of a mile a
day. A spacious hotel is being erected
by the company at the Chimneys,
which will he the terminus of the road
for this Winter at least. When the
road is finished to that point the stage
will leave Eureka at d o'clock p. NJ,
reaching the Climneys in five hours.
where the passengers will remain over
night, taking the cars in the morning
in time to connec with the western
bound train at PaliSade, We are in
formed that negotiations are pending
to sell the Narrow-Gauge back to Gil.
mer & Salisbury. and that Messrs.
Pritchard Il Mills were to meet Mr..
Gilmer at Lodi yesterday for the pur-
pose of talking the matter over. The
sale, if consummated, will include the
freight and stage lines. The cost OF
building the road to the Chimneys will
Approximate $500, 0O0. and probably less

ON TRIAL rOR lrlS LIFE.

The trial Of Edward Collins for the
murder Of Owen Keeie was ,onclud-
ed yesterday and the case given to the
jury at u late hour of the night. The
courtroom Was densely crowded dur
ing the argument of the case, and a:
the evening session a number of la
dies were also present. Mrs. Keefe,
widow Of the man killed, was also in
attendance during the greater portion
Of the trial, clad in the habiliments
Of mourning, and elected much SYM
pathy: The argument was commenced
hy District Attorney Baker, who re-
hearsed the testimony of the witnesses
for the prosecution and skillfully at
tackled the weak points set forth in
the defense.
Hon. Thos. Wren followed and
made y mastery effort for the de-
tense in behalf Of the prisoner Ut the
bar. The testimony of the witnesses,
pro and cOn., was critically reviewed.
the law of murder well defined, and
the bearing it had upon the case. The
action Of keefe toward Collins previ.
GUS 70 and during the quarrel that
met with such . fatal termination,
was fai. hfully reviewed, and in clos
ing the talented gentleman made an
earnest appeal for the acqnittal of his
client, whom he claimed was justified
in his action and did the shooting
only when he thought his own life
was imperiied.
Hon. John r. Kittrell, employed
bv the formor associates of Owen
Keefe to assist in the prosecution,
closed the argument. He commenced
his address to the jury at half past
eight last night, and in a brilliant
speech Of nearly three hours dura-
ton, attempted to convince the jurors
of the guilt Of the mani who had com
mittec the heinOus crime. He hand.
led the defendant without gloves,
and at times electrified the audience
with his whitening denunciations OF
the unfortunate prisoner at the bar.
MIR. kittrell closed with a glowing
%peroration in behalf of outraged ~jrstice,
and asked for the conviction of Col
Inns, as indicted by the Grand Jury of
murder in the first degree. The in
structions to the jury were then
given. and Judge Mckenney read his
charge to the jury; after which it re-
tired to deliberate on its verdict.
p. Sat 2 o'clock this morning, the
jury returneda verdict of mot guilty."
%whereupon the Judge ordered the
defendant to be discharged.

n MAN Brn1mel with an Ax-What
Trtninx Quarrel Amounted
tO-ArPest Of the AsSailame.

u Trininx Quarrel Amounted
to-Arrest Of the Assailamt.
Yesterday afternoon an ARRAY &C.
Cured in Secret Canyon between l.. r.
Kelly. foreman at the Geddes 4 Ber-
trand mine, and a miner named John
Lawson, employed at the same place.
A quarrel arose between the two men
in relation to the possession of a cap,
the property of a man named Har-
rington. The men sOOD came to blows,
and Kelly getting the best OF the fight,
lawson suddenly seized an Ak and
struck ut his opponent, infi;ctjng a
frighitul wound IN his head immedi-
ately above the left ear, and anO: her on
the neck below the ear. The affray
occurred on the dump a. the air-shait
OF the Stockton LEGATION.
The wounded maj was brought to
town as speedily as possible. and placed
under charge of Drs. Williams and
Chamblain. The wound in the head
IS of = very serious nature. The
weapon had crushed through the skull
and has doubtless caused a pressure
on the brain. Should the least cold be
contracted, or erysipelas set in. it will
he a very precariOus case, and almost
Impossible fOr the man to survive.
Kelly was afterwards taken to the
Parker House. He has nearly lost all
mental power, and can give no account
Of the ARRAY, but thinks his wounds
are not serious.
Sheriff Sullivan, on being notified
Of II matter. proceeded to the place
where the difficulty TRANSFERRED, arrest
ed Lawson and conveyed him to Jail,
where we visited him. He il very
ieticent about the matter. He started
to give an account of the affray, but
changed his mind, saying he pre-
ferred to give his statement to the
Court and jury. He thinks that he
has killed Kelly and remarked that he
probably would be hung. He persist
emily refused to say anything more in
relation to the occurrence.
lawson Is a German by birth, has
been employed as a miner by off
terent people and at times has shown
signs of mental arrangement, SO much
so as to occasion remarks from those
who have witnessed his actions while
thus suffering. The victim of his
savage assault is Il native of Pennsyl-
vania and a nephew Of Mr.. Geddes, |
one Of the owner of the mine. Law
son will lie kept in Jail pending the re.
suit Of Kelly's injuries.

children In Factories.

The Springfield Mas, Republican
thinks that the plaincst lesson of the
Fall River disaster is TO take the children
out of the mills and put them in the
public schools, where they ought to be,
and which arc now open. The last labor
report of Massachusetts aays there is
scarcely a corporation in Fall River
hut that employs children under ten
years of age. The responsibility Of
hiring them is owing as much to parents
Is to manufacturers. In some cases
parents compelled ~ manufacturers
to hire their children under threats of
leaving their work. TIL" writer Of the
report states that he convcrSsd with II
large number Of children working in
the mills, and found several under
seven wears of age, who had never been
to school, many from eight to ten who
had not been To- school for two years,
and Il large number under twelve who
hud not been to school for over wear.
1t would seem that death. even in a
violent from, would be blessing to
children condemned almost rs soon rs

John MOrrissey Punches" Gen. But
ler's Nephew.

On Thursday night there was consid-
cradle excitement among the politicians
who make the vicinity Of Union Square
their rendezvous. The cause was a
passage at arms, in which q prominent
democratic politician, indeed no less a
parsonage than Hon. John Morrissey,
figured. The other person concerned
was Col. George II. Butler, nephew of
Gen. Ben Butler, and late United States
consul general to Egypt. 1t seems that
crowd Of persons assembled in Golfers
bar-room, on Broadway, corner Of Thir-
,ecnth street, and John Morrissey, and
Col. Butler were Of the company. Dur
l.inc the course Of the evening Butler,
who is said to have been "eIcitcd," ad-
dressed Mr.. Morrisscy as follows; "Comc,
John Kelly, and have Il drink" To this
invitation Mr.. Morrissey responded by
asking Col. Butler weather he knew
anything dcrogatory to Mr.. kclly's
character as IN honest man or his honor
as gentleman. Butler replied that
John Kelly WAS All Irish. Instantly
the last speaker was seized with strong
hands by the coat collar, and the angry
voice of John Morrissey WAS heard in
the silence caused by this prompt action,
demanding nm instant rctrsction. There
WAS moments hesitation as the buriy
form Of the cx-ConSressman lowered
over that of the colonel. The latter, who
i, believed not only to have spoken
when under excitement" but even
without considering the probable con-
sequence Of such strong language, ha,ti-
" apolugized, but not before his hat had
been smashed on his head. At an early
hour Wednesday morning Buffers nose
was much swollen and his eyes black,
and those who arc skilled in such affairs
say he will not be able TO appear i'll pub
liz for some days.--N J.. Times.
