DEMURRER to- THE INDICT-
.il,iMENT. c4i


Y In the District Court to-day, M. s.
Bonnifield, counsel for j. w. Rover.
demurred to the indictment on the fol-
lowing grounds: ~
First. That it does not conform to
sections 2S4 and 235 of the Criminal
Practice Act. :,
Second. The facts stated do not con-
stitute public .offense. }A
Third. That the indictment is not
direct. and does not conform to the re
qnirements Of section 236 Of same Act.
Fonrth. The character of the blunt
instrument is not described or given,
nor is it alleged that the character o.
said instrument is unknown to th.
Grand Jury. Fg @a E.a~
Aft argument. demurrer was SUBJ
United to the Cont, and no decision
has been rendered up to the time W..
go to press.
The indictment alleges that Rover
committed murder in killing Isaac N
Sharp. by striking him blow on the
head with some blnnt instrument, and
by shooting him with shotgun, and
counsel for defendant offered an in
genious argument in support of hi
motion to set it aside. He said that
Isaac n. Sharp might be the name o.
a horse. as the indictment does not
allege that it WAS the name of hnmai
being. He said there were horses
named Sam Pnrden. George M
Patchen, Judge Fullerton, Governor
Stanford, aud for anght stated in tn
indictment Isaac N. SHARP might hav'
been the name of horse. He argued
that no essential fact can be presumed
and nothing can he taken by intend
ment AS 20 any essential fact. Murder
is the unlawful killing of huma,
being with malice aforethought. AL
of the innocence of the accused. j.
has become almost universal custon
for fayorite domestic animals to re
ceive the name of some human being
The indictment should have alleged
that Isaac N. Sharp was human BE-.
ing; 1t should show upon its face. from
the allegations therein when taken a
true, that complete offense was com.
mitted. 1t should be so definite and
certain that npon plea of guilty the
Court could pronounce the Judgment OF
the law without the introduction OF
evidence toexptain the indictment OIL
any part of it.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Yesterday two
freight trains collided three miles west
Of Lucin, on the Salt Lake Division
of the Central Pacific Railroad As
far as we have been able to ascertain
the accident was caused by the negli-
gence or mistake of a telegraph opera
tor or train dispatcher. One of the
trains was special going east, the
other a regular freight train coming
west. They collided about three miles
west of Lucin, killing one brakeman
named Casson, fatally. it is feared. in
juring Conductor Snider, and seriously
injurlng "a fireman, whose name VT
have been Enabled to learn. Three
locomotives Zone of the trains was
doublo-header) and twenty five cars
were smashed to pieces. The wreck
detained the express train from the
east, which, though due here at $40
P. NJ. yesterday. did not arrive until 10
A. NJ. to-day. Of course somebody Is
to blame for this criminal carelessness.
and deserves greater punishment than
being discharged from the employ of
the railroad company. Collisions OIL
railroad over which not more than
eight or ten trains pass daily implies
objectionable carelessness on the part
of persons authorized to move trains.
SHEEP BATHING APPARATUS. Sheep
owners in this vicinity give their fiocks
an extra dose of tobacco after they are
sheared to prevent them from having
scab and other diseases. To facilitate
this bathing business sheep men tax
their inventive powers. Alex. Wise,
after a months study. has succeeded in
constructing a bathing trough which
appears to meet every requirement
necessary. 1t is sunk in the ground to
within few inches of the surface, and
is so arranged that sheep put in at
one end must swim to the other to get
out. At the place where the sheep
emerge platform is built on an incline
plane, which conveys the drippings
back to the trough. Shepherd Wise,
though very proud of his invention,
has not applied for patent.

use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or

The Last of the DustOn Family.

The suicide of Charles Duston Tor
DUSTIN, the last descendant. of Hannah
Duston, at Haverhill, Mass, was prob
ably the result of an alteration of the
mind. But the existence of a tradition
that the family was doomed, by the
curse of an Indian, to die out in this
manner, and the fact that there has been
four other suicides in the family in past
years, give the event additional interest.
The story of Hannah Duston is one that
is tolerably familiar to persons at all
versed in American history. When the
Indians attacked Haverhill in the spring
of 1898 her husband escaped with all of
their thirteen children except one but
Hannah, with her infant and nurse,
fell into the hands of the savages. The
babe was slaughtered, and Hannah was
taken to an island at the junction of the
Merrimack and Contoocook rivers, and
was placed in charge of an Indian fami-
ly of twelve persons. With the assist
ance of the nurse and boy, who was
also a prisoner, she killed the savages
with hatchet, and returned triumphant
ly to Haverhill with their scalps. There
are not many women of that sort nova
days, and nobody regrets it. But those
were different times, and such women as
Hannah Duston were the mothers of
our republic. It was at that time that
the Indian foretold the doom of the
Duston family.
The story of Mr.. Charles Duston's
suicide comes to us from Haverhill. He
was sixty-two years old, and lived in the
old homestead, which was built by
Thomas Duston, son of Hannah. Mr..
Duston had made his will, dividing his
property among his relatives. He shot
himself with small fowling piece, NOV
ing the trigger with carefully y-whittled
pine stick. He was in easy circum-
stances, and leaves property variously
estimated at from 100000 to $75, 900.
AS the family existed for nearly two
hundred years after the Indians pro-
phecy was uttered, and as most of the
descendants have lived peacefully and
happily, the curse of the Indian does
not appear to have been worked out in
very striking manner.

Colonel Forney writes: You reach
Frankfort -on-the-Main (having left Ber

roads are combined. Here passengers
come from and go to Paris. Vienna, st.

places along the Rhine. The trains are
constantly arriving and departing, and
from the porch of the West End Hall,
which stands between three stations and
receives many travellers for rest and re-
freshment, [ have studied the diversified
throng passing to and fro. 1t is sort

uniform, quiet scholars in search of re
pose, and London clerks out for thei
autumn vacation. I have watched thii

instructive than the little notice eacl
takes of the other, and the pervadine
tone of separate individuality. 1t is the
world in miniature.

A Dream Fulfilled.

Says the Boston Herald: An Ames.
bury man had singular dream, under
thefollowing circumstances. His father
and mother had recently died, within
three or four hours of each other, and
one night in dream he saw his mother
standing by his bed, and little distance
away he saw q cot bed with a peculiar
coverlet, on which lay a man with his
back turned toward him. His mother
called him by name and said:
"a" Here are seven dollars"
He attached no significance to the
dream until, when he went to the post
Office, he received letter stating that
his brother, who was on o Western rail
road, had been badly crushed, and re-
quested his presence Immediately.
On arriving at his brothers home he
was struck with surprise when he found
him lying on cot bed, with the same
kind of coverlet he had seen in his
dream, with his back turned towarC
him. The brother died, and the gentle
man was still more astenished when, or
settling his affairs, the first bill presented
was just 81 in amount. Strange as the
story may seem, it is told by the mai
himself, and he is a gentleman Whose
veracity no one would impeach.
