A MOTION to qnash the indictment
against Joseph Loader, who was COM
mi;ted for perjury in connection with
the Baecher case, WAS made IN the
Brooklyn County Court last week. The
main point of the motion was whether
upoa the undisputed facts appearing
upon the face of the indictment, any
crime h Il been committed. Leaders
Iunsrl argued that the affidavit made
by Loader was not in any sense ma
terial for the purpose for which it was
used, and not being material. did 30
ilvolve perjury. The Court took the
matter under adyisement.

The New Atlantic cable, between the
coast of Ireland and Rye Beach, whose
successful working has been announced.
is the one laid from the steamer Faraday
last year. 1t was found necessary to cut
and buoy the cable when only about two
hundred miles remained to be laid.
and it has been lying idle at the bottom of
the ocean ever since. Several efforts have
been made TO complete the work. but full
success has only now been reached. This
"Direct Atlantic cable" is the fifth now in
operation, and 1t derives especial import
ance from the fact that it connects on this
side exclusively with the wires of the OPP
position telegraph companies, thus secur-
ing competition which, it is hoped, may
effect reduction of tolls.
