Conduct Of Jurymen.

Last March, one J. Cahill agreed with eleven other jurymen to verdict render ed iu open court in Tucson Several days thereafter, this same Cahill was moved to make oath before a notary public, that he did not so agree. For this he was arrested and examined before Justice Neugass and discharged; was again arrested, examined before Justice Meyers and held on charge Of perjury. and in default Of bail for $500, he went 10 jail; was soon afler brought be- fore Chief Justice Dunne on writ Of ha- beas corpus, and discharged from custody. As we then remarked, "it may be all mistake that the law Is designed for the punishment Of wrong-doing." Having some bearing on this species of court bus iness, we reprint the following from The Alta Of October 2:
 In the suit of Polhemus against Heiman and others, an affidavit of juror was of- fe-ed to prove that some of the jurors mis- understood the verdict rendered by them. The Supreme court decides that in such a case the verdict cannot be set aside. II iurvmen could upset their verdictS by making oath of their own stupidity, they would frequently have Inducements offer ed 10 them for such declarations. The motive for corruption, after verdict IS rendered, often appears stronger 10 the Iitigant than before.

Dismiss Judge Dunne.

We have heretofore expressed our opinion that E. F. Dnnne, chief justice of the supreme court of Arizona, should be dismissed from his office to make room for some other man better fitted for the place; and this article is written as d solicitation to be sent to the Attorney-General of the United States, whose Department includes the Federal Judicial officers. We present the following reasons for the applica- tion:
 First.-On the 2d of February, Judge Dunne delivered a public address at Tucson, denOuncing the Territorial Public School Law, upon the validity of which he might be called upon to decide judicially. It is not proper for a judge to become a partisan in such matters, and any disregard of that rule of propriety is a good reason for dls- missal.
 Second. Justice Dunne, in tn c course of his address, said the State has no inherent right to teach" That is a denial Of the right of the States to maintain schools. He thus declares himself openly the enemy of one of the fundamental principles of the American government.
 Third.-We believe the maj ajority of Republicans and Democrats of the Territory desire the dismissal of Judge Dunne.-IAlta California, November 3.

Change Of Indian Management not
 Favored.

 The Red Cloud Commission reported in this connection:
 The question whether it would be ex pedient to transfer the management of Indian affairs to the War Depart ment. was suggested to our attention from time to time, and we gave to the consideration of the subject such reflection and inquiry ss our opportu- mites allowed. Without entering at length upon discussion of the sub feet, it may be sufficient to say, in general, that our conclusions are who'll ly unfavorsble to such change at the present time. There can be no ques- ton that the change would involve 6 serious interruption of the present policy of the Government, if not an entire abandonment of 1t and what ever doubts any may possibly enter tain of the complete ultimate success of this policy, it would be extremely un wise to abandon, without the fullest trial, system of dealing which has thus far produced excellent results, and which promises at least to pave the way towards elevsting the moral, social, civil and political condition of the Indians.

Explosion AND DEATH.-Early on Tuesday
morning last a disastrous explosion and fire,
accompanied by fatal results, occurred at the
parafine works of Messrs. J. S. Carswell Sons,
at Homestead, on the Hartford road. 1t is sup
posed the explosion of the "still' was caused
by the sinking Of the brick foundation recent
" laid, thus causing a pipe from the still to
the condenser to become stopped. The still
contained about thirty barrels of crude petro-
leum, and when the explosion occurred, this
being thrown over the frame structure, it was
soon enveloped in flames. Peter Hahn, an
employee, recently from Pittsburg, was in the
building at the time of the explosion. He was
blown with tremendous force some distance,
into the yard, where man named Myers
found him, enveloped in flames. He tried to
smother the fire with his coat, but that being
in vain, he directed Hahn to lie on the ground,
and he then shoveled dirt upon him till the
flames were extingushed. He was removed
to place of safety, where DR.. L. A. Monmo-
nier, of Waverley, rendered all assistance in
his power. In accordance with Mr.. Carswell' 8
instructions the poor man was removed to st.
Joseph's Hospital by officer Mcdonald, OF the
county police, where he received every posi-
BILE attention. His body was burned in every
part, and presented repulsive appearance
Hahn begged those around him to kill him,
and thus. end his sufferings. He fingered in
great agony until nearly IL o'clock, when death
relieved him. The Messrs. Carswell's loss will
probably reach $500, which, it is said, is fully
covered by insurance, This is the third time
these works have been destroyed within the last
few wears.

HORRIBLE DEATH.-An unknown man, sup
posed to have been a tramp, met with horri-
BILE death on Saturday night last, near Calver-
ton, being literally roasted alive. From an
investigation made by Justice Lewis Fl. Leh-
man, it was ascertained that the deceased crept
into Phillips lime kiln, near the Calverton
Droveyards, to escape the severity of the wealth.
err, and composed himself to sleep near one of
the fues. His clothing took fire, but as he was
probably rendered unconscious by inhalation
of the gas generated by the coal, he did not
awake until his eyesight had been destroyed
by the flames, the eyeballs being roasted to a
crisp. In this horrible condition the wretched
victim seems to have made desperate effort
to save his life, and succeeded in making his
way out of the kiln, but being unable in his
blindness and agony to discover where he wa s
walking, plunged over an embankment some
thirty feet deep. Upon reaching the bottom of
the hill he crawled some fifty feet to the rear
of the hog pens at the cattle scales, where his
body was found All along the route over
which the unfortunate man walked or crawled
portions Of torn clothing were found strewn
about, indicating that he had made desper-
ate effort to extnguish the flames by which he
was being consumed. When found the corpse
was burnt to crisp from the shoulders to the
knees, and the face was also horribly burnt
and with eyeless sockets presented revolving
spectacle. Justice Lehman held an inquest,
the verdict being in accordance with the facts
given above. 1t was evident that the deceased
was tramp, as within the kiln was found some
| articles of clothing in bundle, frying pan
| and some uncooked food. The body could not
be identified. In India ink on the breast of the
corpse was the word Liberty" and on the left
arm the letters "a W." The body was buried
in the vicinity of where it was found.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.-The Baltimore
County School Board met or Friday of last
week, all the members present except Mr..
Macgill
The book account ($2,l56), teachers salaries
(S19,644.6s). and expense account (s42.3s), all
for the spring term, were passed. The Board,
in the absence of the necessary funds in their
hands to pay the expenses, determined to bor-
row $4,000 for that purpose.
A petition was presented asking the estab-
of another school in the Second dis
trict. On motion of Mr.. Gels, the matter was
referred to the Committee on School Houses,
with instructions to establish said school at the
beginning of the next school year, if the funds
of the Board justify it.
The Board will meet again on Monday next
to appoint School Trustees, according to the re-
quirements of the school law.
Teachers salaries will be paid in Baltimore
on Friday and Saturday of this week, on which
days the Teachers Association will be held al
the Normal School Building.
