some rebuttal evidence to offer this morn

arranged in what manner the closing argu-
ments should be made.
Judge Porter arose and said the defense
intended to raise question of law looking
to the direction of verdict and asked per-
mission to address the court 1t was
granted.
Judge Porter spoke at length, giving
the grounds On which he asked the court
to direct, at this stage of the trial, verdict
of acquittal. The right of trial by jury
he held to be right guarantee by the con.
stitution and one to be upheled with al
its force and all its sanction. In this case

for the council to acquit the defendant.
The evidence was then passed in review
very carefully and slowly and after the re
view Judge Porter said, 1--WE now ask fol
the acquittal of the defendant at the hands
of the court
After brief pause the court asked ths
defense if they were prepared to presen
authorities.
Judge Porter replied in the affirmative

TO F.ASTEN LOOSE WINDOW SASHES.
The most convenient way to prevent
loose window-sashes from rafting un.
pleasantly when the wind blows is to
make four one-sided buttons of wood and
screw them to the beading which is nail
ed to the castings of the window, making
each button Of proper length to press the
side of the sash outward when the end Of
the button is turned down horizontally.
The buttons operate like a cam. By
having them Of the correct length to
crowd the stiles of the sash outward
against the outer stop OF the window.
frame, the sash will not only be held so
firmly that it cannot rattle, but the crack
which admitted dust and a current of
cold mir will be closed so tightly that no
window strip will be required. The but
tons should be placed about half way be-
tween the upper and lower end Of each
sash.
