ACQUITTED.-Th trial Of Haneil
alleged poisoning of Polly Biackmore,
resulted in his acquit al after a delibe-
ration Of one hour BY the jury. The
defence introduced evidence to show
that Gcdwin had no strong motive for
committing the deed, but that John A.
Mchoy did have such motive, and
seized the property Of the dead wo-
man without any apparent right. Fur
ther more that he was seen TO offer
Polly a drink of white liquor on the
day of her death-not drinking him
self. Nevertheless the case is involved
in much mystery.

The following dispatch Was received by
Mayor Winter last night:
"Cout.nuo quarantine. II l. not alone sanitary
necessity, but one OF commercial economy VIII DE
with you again IN u few day You hay" escaped
better than any other place rthc zane exposure.
JOHN II. RACCil"
No one here has seriously thought OF
abandoning our quarantine. 1t is rccog-
ni2cd asa sound sanitary measure and will
be continued so long as the necessity for it
exists. But quarantine should not be nccrs-
sarily blockade, and it was herein that
our board Of health made Il
mistake. Quarantine regulations that will
prohibit the landing Of boats from the in
fcctcd districts for a certain timc-a time
that will allow for the incubation and de-
vclopmcnt Of the discasc--and rigid in
specton Of all boats, no matter from what
direction, and of trains from the south of
US, will answer every purpose of protection
that blockade could give, without its ycX-
atoms, It's partalitics and its admit
ted llcgality. We think it safe to say that
our board Of health will give us such quar-
antinc regulations. In common with
it and the city council the
people of this city have been disposed to
extend every courtesy to DR.. Rauch, repre-.
scn,ing here the state board OF health.
His advice has always been listened To and
his suggestions often adopted In this
quarantine matter he represents the state,
and except through the courtesy we have
mentioned, was not entitled to even u voice
in our local board of health But he hn,
used the privilege extended to
him for the interests Of the
state. Chicago and other cities have be-
come alarmed and seek protection against
the invasion of the scourgc at our hands
and at our expense, and thanks to the
efforts Of DR.. Rouch they have received it.
We do not know what that gentleman
views on commercial economy may be,
but submit that it is not unfair to character.
