An Escaped Eunstie On Trial for
Murder,

Can an escaped lunatic be tried for
murder is the question raised in an
Ohio court, Perry Bowsher is on trial
at Chilicothe for the killing of an old
couple Famed McVey, and the
defence attempted to have the proceed
ings stopped on the ground that Bowsher
was an escaped lunatic that he had
never been discharged from the asylum !,
had never been declared sane; was in
the eye of the law lunatic, and could
not, therefore, be tried for murder un-
less his sanity was proven, the burden
OF which proof rested upon the state
The records show that Bowsher is in
fact an escaped lunatic, but the court
oyerruled the motion.

\ FATAL AFFRAY AT THE
BREAKW WATER.

A NEGRO SAILOR KILLS HIS CAPTAIN.
On Monday last the coasting schooner
Criterion of Norfolk, commanded by
Capt Clement Brown, was employed IN
removing the irons from the steamer
Mary that was sunk some months ago
just outside the Breakwater. The Cap
jain had been down to the sunken ship
in diving bell and large piece of iron
from the engine of the steamer was haul
ed to the side of the schooner, the Cap
tain ordered Samuel Suowden, a hand
on the boat, to pull in the iron which
command he refused to obey, whereupon
some words followed and the Captain,
selzing an oar, struck the negro on the
side OF the head, cutting a small ga,h.
The negro, with a pin hammer, struck
the Captain on the head, Telling him to
the deck and fracturing his skull. Snow
den is real negro, about 35 years ofage,
and of powerful frame and muscle. He
shipped on the Criterion in May la t
Captain Brown is from Norfolk, and his
vessel has been for some months employ,
ed in dismantling the steamer Mary. The
Captain is still alive, but there is no hope

is FRANCE PLANNING TO AC-
QUIRE CRETE
LONDON, July 13, 1876.
The treaty of peace contains sixty
clauses, and is reported to be the Ion
gest ever known. The Posts Berlin
despatch states that during the discus
sion relative to the boundaries of the
Bayazid Valley the Russians suddenly
claimed the Pass of Zewin the claim,
however, was not allowed. Grave fears
again arose on Thursday night. Count
Sceouvaloff, during the discussion of
the clauses concerning the Dardanelles,
having attempted to restrict the Sultan's
right Of issuing special permits for the
passage of foreign men-of-war, or calling
foreign feet to this aid, Lord Salisbury
thereupon declared that England consi-
dered her engagements relative to the
closing of the Straits limited to an enga-
cement to respect the sovereign rights
Of the Porte in that regard. Prince
GortschAkoff showed much anger, but
afterward arranged a compromise with
Lord Beaconsfeld, by which the status
quo is continued.
CLOSING ITS LABOES.
The Times Berlin special says in
Thursdays sitting of the Congress the
Russian suggestion for the enactment of
clause providing for executive meas
ures in case Turkey delayed in carrying
out the treaty was again rejected. The
clause relative to Greece, which will
oblge Turkey to Immediately take her
claims into serious onsideration, and the
clause authorizing Austrian occupation
were inserted in the treaty. All the
Plenipotentiaries will leave Berlin ON
Saturday and Sunday.
WHEN 1T WILL BE SIGNED.
A sitting of the Congress was held
yesterday afternoon to complete the
reading of the instrument of peace. The
document was to have been printed last
night and will be signed to-day. 1t is
probable that the Congress will adopt de-
cisions relative to the local commissions
to be instituted and the supplementary
conference which it is proposed to hold
next autumn either at Constantinople or
Berlin.

THE Deidpare Gazette invites the

cratic House. from charges preferred by
the Republican. We decline the invita-
tion for several reasons.
First. The Republican is republican
paper, and is expected to misrepreseut its
political opponents.
Second. 1t has unavailingly assailed
the Democratic party for long time,
and, as has been proved, is incapable OF
doing it any harm.
Third. The Democratic House, nor
any Of its members, needs any defence at

Republican or Democratic papers.
For these, and other reasons which it

THE WIFE MURDERER WHO SWALLOWED
sTRYCHNINE TO ESCAPE THE
GALLONS.
MILLEDGEvILLE, Ga, July 12.-Mike
Shaw, the wife murderer, sentenced to be
hanged to-day, and who swallowed dose
of strychninc on June IL, but recovered
from Its effects, arrived here yesterday,
and was ironed to the floor of his cell
last night. A strong guard was placed
over him and around the building. His
faithful spiritual advisers visited him af-
ter dark and prayed with him. He slept
but little, about ten minutes in all, and
that toward morning, when toiling bell
startled him from his slumbers. He re-
fused to see press reporters, and by his
request the curious we're denied sight
of his hanging. He ate a slight break
fast, and gave full instructions about tine
disposal of his earthly affairs. He in
quired minutely about the gallows, ex-
pressing the hope that il would work
deftly.
At noon his irons were knocked off,
and he was led forth and placed in a car
rlage, surrounded by strong guard of
foot and mounted men. Three Catholic
clergy attended him-Fathers Quinland,
Bazine, and O'Harra. He made short
speech from the carriage on his arrival
at the gallows. He leaned against the
gallows and prayed aloud for many min.
utes. At 1:l0 p. M, he bade the Sheriff
good-by. The signal was given, and
Shaw shot rapidly through the trap. The
| body withed fearfully for six minutes land
then all struggle ceased, and he was pro
nounced dead after thirty-seven minutes
His neck was not broken. Five thou
sand persons had assembled but the hang
| ing was private.

From Washington.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE NEW YoR X
CUsToM-HoUsE CHANGEs-MosBY
DECLINES OFFICE FROM THE
PRESIDENT.
rHE NEW YORK CUsToM-HoUsE.


PRESIDENT.
THE NEW YORK cUsToM-HoUsE.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Presi-
dent to-day declined to make public bis
reasons for removing Collector Arthur
and Naval Officer Cornell,a at New York,
but contented himself by referring all
persons who asked for information on
this point to Acting Secretary Hawley,
who felt constrained by sense OF
LOYALTY to his absent chief not TO whis-
per a word or to give hint until Secre-
tarv Sherman returned. The two re-
moyals have been much discussed in
political quarters, and there seems to be
but one opinion-that the democratic
party in New York will be the gamer
by the war upon Senator Conkling and
his supporters at the hands OF the ad-
ministration.
Very few republicans believe that the
changes whicn have been made will
weaken Mr.. Conkling's strength with
his party, but, on the contrary, that he
will be stronger than ever, and that an
element which has never been warm in
his support will now be found working
ia his column. The President has dis
pleased several gentleman by not taking
men who have not held any federal
office and put them in the positions just
filled in preference TO the two men selec-
ted, who have held good lucrative offices
continuously for many years. 1t is al
legged here that the President had given
apositive promise to appoint well-known
New York merchant to the collectorship
in the event of any change being made.
This merchant was here few weeks ago
and said that the President had proms-
ed him the place, ,and that Senator Conk-
ling would not fight his nomination
although he had always been identified
with the anti-Conkling wing of republic
cans in New Y ork city. The failure TO
put new men in the Offices will, 1t is
believed here, tend to give Mr.. Cona-
ling a stronger hold upon the republican
party in New York city than he has ever
had. Secretary Schurz denies having
anything to do with the changes, and
decline to express any opinion about the
matter.
MosBY AGAIN.
1t is stated thas the President sent for
Col. Mosby yesterday and rendered him
an important federal appointment. As
Col. Mosby has not been known as an
active supporter of or a believer in the
policy pursued by the present admins
tration, he was greatly taken
by surprise. The appointment was
courtevusly declined. 1t is also stated
that ON the first of the present month a
brother of Col. Mosby was rendered the
appointment of specia. agent of the Post
office Department, but it was not accept
ed. Virginaians are asking, What dees
this mean?

SOMETHING ABOUT SNAP
PERS

The Germantown Telegraph says: 1t
is astonishing how long the head of a
snapping-turtle will survive after it has
been severed from the body. A reliable
gentleman of this city informed us the
other day that he has known the head to
show indications of life for a week after
the edible portions Of the turtle had been
made into soup. There are instances on
record oft surviving two weeks. As the
animal is carnivorous in its nature, and
performs the same duties on water as the
turkey-buzzard does on land-those of a
scavenger-we neverpatake of soup made
of it.

ARREST OF AN ALLEGED MUIR
DERESS

PEORIA, ILL.,, July 12.-Mrs. Kitty Stahl
was arrested here yesterday, charged
with the murder of james O'Neill at
Bloomington, several months ago. Hat
tie Grey was also arrested as an accom-
plice. Officers say they have good evil
dence Of their guilt. The women have
here since last March working out. Mrs.
StahPs husband had left her when they
lived in Bloomington and is now in New
Orleans. The officers say his desertion
was owing to his having learned that she
had been too intimate with O'Neil and
that she killed the latter for that reason.
The daily gazette., 1878-07-13

That the Orangemen abandoned their
determination to march in Montreal yes
terdsy would have been creditable to
them had it been done voluntarily; but
that they should have been compelled to
forego their celebration through fears of
mob violence is very discreditable to the
Canadian government. 1t is no answer
to this to say that the custom of celebrat
ing the battle OF tbs Boyne in this coun-
try is absurd or unpatriotic or offensive
To the feelings of others.
