FAST RIDING.- Yesterday party oil

FAST RIDING Yesterday n party OF
men from across the mountains came
into town. and in the afternoon decided
TO sell some of their horses, and to
show their merits rode two of them
very rapidly up Front street. Mr..
Minnick soon appeared upon the scene
and arrested the men for fast riding.
They were taken before Justice Scott,
and after hearing the testimony and
finding them to be strangers, the Chief
OF Police said he would not demand
anything for his trouble in arresting
them, and consequently their fine and
costs only amounted to one dollar each.
We have seen of late, on several occa-
sions, both gentlemen and ladies riding
through the streets faster than the law
allows, and we are requested 10 state
that the law against this dangerous
practice viii! be more rigidly enforce in
the future. "a word to the wise is
sufficient"

CRIPPLED AGAIN.-Mr. George Nc
Donald. who had his leg and foot badly
crushed by falling under car which
was ascending the incline few months
ago, and who assumed his duties again
as brakeman on one of the trains a
short tiEe ago. met with another acct
dent today that will lay him up for
several weeks. 1t appears that while
standing between two cars for the pur-
pose of coupling them, the engineer
suddenly backed the train, catching
two of McDonald's fingers between the
couplings, mangling them fearfully.
He went to the drug store and had
them dressed, and he informed US that
they would be amputated to-day.

MRS. LA BAU.
One of Commodore vanderbllt's Daugh-
tiers to Marry the Consul General
Of a Grand DuChy.


New York Tribune,I
Mrs. Mary A. La Bau, daughter of
the late Commodore Vanderbilt, and
the contestant in the Vanderbilt will
case, will be married in a short time
to Francis Berger, the consul general
at New York from the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg. NJ. Berger has been
in this city upon his diplomatic mis-
sion only a few months, having been
appointed in the spring of the present
year. He did not come, however, as a
stranger, having been a. commissioner
from his own country to the Centen-
NAL Exhibition in 1876. He is said to
have a high social and political rank
in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
which is a comparatively new princi-
pality, having been declared neutral
by the treaty of London on May IL,
1867, under the sovereignty of the
House of 0range-Na Nassau. For some
time previous to his mission to this
country NJ. Berger was a member of
the congress of the Grand Duchy, and
was especially active in shaping the
financial policy of the government. To
him that country owes the creation Of
the National Bank with a capital o.
S6,000,0 600. He is well known at home
also for the projection and execution
of many other national schemes. He
has also compiled several works fol-
facilitating the study of French anC
English. 1t is said hal he has a very
large fortune.
The day for the marriage, it is un-
d%erstood, has not yet been DEFINITELY
determined upon, Mrs. La Bau beini
unwilling that it should take plac,
while the will contest is going on il
court. An adjournment for some tim
is likely, however, to be decided on a
the close of the present week. If sue
proves to be the case, the marriag
will probably occur within the mex
two weeks. M. Berger has natural
been much interested in the will con
test, although he has never been pres
ent in court.

THE SOLID TWELVE.
United States Judge Miller on the Jury
System.

1t requires all the veneration which
age inspires for this mode trial by
jury of dispensing justice, and all
that eminent men have said OF its
value in practice, to prevent our nat
ural reason from revolving against the
system, and especially some Of its in
,cidents. If a cultivated oriental
'wereftold for the first time that a ma
ton, which claims to be in advance of
all others in its love of justice and its
methods of enforcing it, required as
one of its fundamental principles of
jurisprudence that every controversy
between individuals, and every charge
of crime against an offender, should
be submitted to twelve men without
learning in the law, often without any
other learning, and that neither party
to the contest could prevail until all
the twelve men were Of one opinion in
his favor, he would certainly be
amazed at the proposition. Nor have
the European nations differed much
with him in their estimate of trial by
Jury. 1t has been we'll understood and
received the careful consideration of
continental %jurists for a great many
years, without being adopted by any OF
them, in the form that we have
it from England. Many attempts
have been made to introduce it in
some modified shape, but l think it
safe to say that it has not in its essen
tial Anglo-S Saxon feature met eappro-
val of any people except those Of that
race. In the days when kings exer-
cised arbitrary power, the jury was
among the sturdy, liberty-loving Eng.
lishmen, a valuable barrier against OPP.
preston by the crown. But in Thu
country, where the people are sover
eign, the jury is but too often the mer,
reflection Of popular impulse, and thu
safety of an innocent man is NOR
frequently found to depend on tn,
frmness of the Judge than the i'm
partiality Of the jury. Still it i
probably wise that no man shall b
convicted Of an infamous Grim
until twelve fair-minded men ar
convinced of his guilt. l am ais
forced to admit, however, that even i
civil cases my experience as a judg
has been much more favorable to jur
trials than it was as a practitionel
And | am bound to say that an intelli
gent and unprejudiced jury, when sue
clearness, precision and brevity as wi
present their duty in bold relief, ar
rarely mistaken in regard to fact
which they are called upon to find

Association.

GIRLS CAPTURING A DEER.
Three Pike County Maidens' Adventures
After an AII-nlght Dance.
Now York SUM-

New York Sun.l
There was a dance neal Potter's
Lake, IN Pike county, Pa, on Friday
evening last, that was attended by
numbers of the best youths and maid
ems in the neighborhood. They began
dancing early in the evening, and CON
tinued until morning. The region is
sparsely inhabited, and the means Of
communication few therefore, those
who attend such gatherings frequently
20 on foot for miles to be present at
them. Three maidens-Miss Cox,
Miss Brink and Miss Jennie Lane
live on the northwest bank of Porter S
Lake, and to get to the dance rowed
over in a small boat. After the break
ing up on Saturday morning they
started TO return home in the same
manner, Miss Uox, the eldest Of the
three, taking the oars. When near
the middle Of the lake they discovered
an object moving in the water before
them, which at first they supposed was
a dog, but which upon nearing they
asoortaiaed Ia be a biz buck. II cir
cled round and round in the water, a
sure indication that it was wounded.
After a consultation the boat was
pulled to within a few feet of the buck
and the oars we're u%nshipped, Miss
Brink taking one and Miss Cox the
other. They drifted closer, and when
within striking distance, at a given
signal, both girls brought theit weap-
ons down upon the deers head. He
sank beneath the water for an instant,
but when he came to the surface his
eyes shone and his hair was turned
straight toward his head. The grls
both stpuok a second time, bringing
the oars down upon his neck. He
sank again, but coming up sprang from
the water and placed his fore feet
against the side Of the boat. The girls
had to use all their strength to keer

that part south of Dauphin street
which divides the town into two pretty
nearly equal parts. The next year the
disease commenced in the northern
extreme, and swept all the town left
untouched the previous year. Each
year it took its half of the town more
deliberately than the army-worm
would eat through a cotton field.
As remarked by DR.. Warren Stone,
of New Orleans, it will travel, like a
ax-collector, from house to house for
two or three weeks before it DIVORCES. y
So constant is this gradual progression
that when the disease is prevailing in
one part Of a town the residents of
another part can retire in safety long
after the first appearance of the cpl
demic. In New York during the cpl
demic of 1922, its measured progress
was about forty feet per day.
