THE PAINTER CASE.

The jury, in the somewhat famous
Painter case, who is charged with the
seduction Of Miss Leonard, went out
yesterday morning, and came in this
morning with verdict of guilty.
We are informed that the Jury
stood eleven to one for conviction
from the start, and that the odd jury
man held out until this morning at
three o'clock, when he finally came
over. Mr.. Thomas J. Deyin, well
known and highly respected citizen
of Ottamwa, is understood to be the
man who hung the jury SO long.
Section 1861 is the one which an.
plies to this case, which is as follows
eff any person seduce and daSauch
Hany unmarried woman of previously
"chaste character, he shall ba punish.
ed by imprisonment in the peniten.
tiary not more than five years or by
fine not exceeding one thousand dol.
Glars and imprisonmeasin the county
Jail not exceeding sae year."
At this writing the sentence has
not been entered by the Court.
The case was xory ably prosecuted
by District Attorney Fee, and equal
ly as well dafhndad by Williams &
Manning.
LArER.---Mr. Painters counsel has
made an. application, we understand,
for a new trial, one Of the grounds
for the'same being that it was not
distinctly proved that the prosecuting
witness was at the time of the alleged
seduction, an unmarried woman.

DEATH IN THE AQUARIUM.
The Last Of the Labrador White
Whale How He was Taken.
New York Sun, Jan. %.

Between s and 8 o'clock, on Satur-
day evening, the great white whale
in the Aquarium died. Previous to
his death, instead of swimming in
circles as was his wont, he crossed
from side to side and dashed the wa
ter into foam, and then gradually be-
coming less and less violent. he dived
beneath the surface and died. Drs.
Ebell, Arnold, Ray and others, held a
consultation yesterday, but without
any satisfactory conclusion as to the
cause of death. Mr.. Coup will have
the remains cmbalmcd and placed on
exhibition.
The white whale was captured, af-
ter months of patient waiting, on the
coast of Labrador, about six months
ago, by special expedition despatch-
ed by the aquarium. The capture
was of itself novelty. A strong
tank was sunk at the mouth of one OF
the bays, and when the tide was full
a large net was stretched across the
outlet. As the water began TO shoal
in the bay the whales made for the
open sea, but were stopped by the net
Then they naturally sought the deep
water of the sunkcn tank, and, after
this whale had entered the tank, the
lid was closed upon him. He was
then hoisted on board the ship by
means of derrick, and carried tc
the shore. He was then placed in d
large box, built for the purpose, and
stream of water was kept constant
ly playing upon him until he arrived
by special train at Forty second st.

"A petition is being circulated to-
day and is receiving many signers,
favoring the organization of a city
superior court.
Under the law of the last lcgisla.
ture, cities of 5000 people and up
wards can elect a city judge, who
will hold his office for four wears,
and receive two thousand dol
lars per annum. lie is to be his own
clerk, and the marshal is to be his ex
ecutivc officer. lie has concurrent
jurisdiction with the district and cir.
cult court judges, except that dis
trict courts retain exclusive jurisdic.
ton in criminal cases, and circuit
courts in probate business. In other
words, this court has the same juris.
diction as police courts, recorders
courts, and justices courts, with the
additional power ofpassing upon civ
il cases without regard to the amount
involved, besides being an APPELLATE
court, to which, by consent, all town
ship, or Justices courts may appeal.
He may also have a jury if desired
by either side, of not more than six
persons.
The presumption is that IN all cities
of 5000 people and upwards, the DO.
sition, and salary attached thereto
would induce the people to elect q
reputable lawyer to this place, who
would be able to relieve the distric,
and circuit courts of the great press
ure on those bodies, and leave them
little more than their legitimate Grim.
inal and probate business to do.
We may add, that in addition To
other provisions, the law requires
regular monthly sessions of this
court, besides it is expected to be
ready to try at all times such munic.
ipal cases, as may be brought before
1t. One half of the judges salary is
to be paid by the city and the other
half by the county.
The mayor must call an election at
least ten days before the next city
election, to pass upon this question,
provided he is requested to do SO by
at least ono hundred citizens, but the
adoption of the plan requires two.
thirds of the voters at the election.
We believe that the lawyers gener-
ally here, favor this proposition, be.
cause, as they say, it would enable
all litigants to get hearing within
a reasonable time and that in the long
run, the cost to the people will be
much less than under the present
plan, and that is certainly consume
nation to be desired.

An attempt was made about s O'Clock
last evening, by a burglar, to effect
an entrance to the back room OF
Bachman's jcwelry store. Harry
Milligan had occasion to go to the
back yard, heard some one pry.
ing at the window and opened the
back door. He then thought he was
mistaken, but immagined he saw a
dog skulking in the corner, and pick.
ed up stick of wood to throw at it
He hallooed "get out" and the fellow
sprang up and made hasty retreat
out the back way. 1t is little sim
gular that any one would be fool
enough to attempt to enter a store
at that early hour, unless the inten-
ton was to overpower the clerk and
carry away valuable goods.
