Police Pickings.

Our justices have been kept busy
this week, smoothing out the difficulties
of large number of pugilistically in
clined individuals, who, under the eX-
hilarating influences of an overflow of
animal spirits and bad whiskey, have
improved the occasion to pound each
other up.
On Monday, information was filed be-
fore Esq Newman against John Har-
rington for assault and battery upon
VIM. McGrath, at a wedding at the
house of Pat Hart, in Westburg town
ship, on Sunday morning. McGrath APP
peared in town with his face all battered
and bruised He said he had not washed
his face since the ARRAY and this was
probably a strategy to move the stony
heart Of the Justice to sympathy. Har-
rington was fined so and costs. He in
turn filed information against McGrath
for assault and battery upon himself
(Harrington). A change Of venue was
taken before Esq Gillett, and it will be
tried next Wednesday.
Last Friday night, Moses Bantz, Ohio
Mclaughlin, Chas. Mclaughlin, Moses
Bright and John Ferman, went to Lit
Teton, filled with liquor, and succeeded
in breaking up dance in progress
there, by their demonstrations of mus
Gle. They were brought before Esq.
Newman, on Tuesday, and fined as fol-
lows: Bantz and Ohio Mclaughlin,
So each Chas. Mclaughlin and Bright,
So each, and Ferman, 81. The costs
were equally divided On the same
day, Marshal Handy arrested Ohio Nc
Laughlin, Joshua Bantz and Moses
Bantz for violating the city ordinances,
by running horses on our streets, and
took them before Esq. Barton, who
fined them s. and costs.
On Wednesday, Nora Mccoy and
Richard Mccoy, were arrested for as
saulting Jas. Burns, a few miles west
of town. The case was continued until
tomorrow.
On Thursday, Henry Morris was also
arrested for an assault upon Jas. Burns
on Wednesday, and change of venue
was taken before Esq Gillett, who fined
him s. and costs, in default of which
he went to the place prepared by the
city for such offenders.

(StrohD hung on behind, and never
took such id long steps in his life"
This, in brief, is the outline of the ev-
idence for the prosecution. That for
the defense was mainly intended to
throw discredit upon the witnesses and
testimony introduced by the State, and
to establish an alibi In pursuance Of
the latter effort, two witnesses, one a
boy, were put upon the stand, who
swore that they saw Stroll in town
about 7 o'clock p. NJ, or one-half to
three-quarters of an hour before the as
sault took place at the Catholic Gene
terry, mile or more away: the intention
being to prove that the accused could
not possibly have been there This tes-
timony was not corroborated by other
witnesses. Three other witnesses were
introduced, who testified that they were
in the vicinity of the Central depot
about the time the witnesses for the
State say they saw Stroll and Rourke
there, and that they used the language
above quoted about hurrying up to head
somebody off, The minuteness with
which each of these witnesses reprodu-
ced the story of the others, and the Gu
rious fact that this story appeared to
be modelled, except the substitution Of
different persons, after the evidence
produced by the prosecution on the pre-
liminary examination, so far as that evil
dence went, but beyond that was widely
divergent, was noted by the crowd, and
doubtless had certain effect upon the
jury.

ASENATOR WHO FOUGHTA DOZEN DUELS

One of the prolific causes Of duels in Geor-
gia in the last decade of the last century, was
the "Yazoo Fraud" This was the purchase
of twenty millions of acres of Georgia ter
ritory by a company called the "Yazoo Com.
pany," for the paltry sum of $207, 900. The
Legislature was brbed into the passage Of
the bill. As soon as it became law, the
whole people rose up in indignation. The
State was ablaze with passion. The legisla-
tors who voted for the bill were mobbsd and
driven from their homes. Several we're kill
ed. One was hung. One was followed to
Virginia and killed there At last the people
met in mighty mass meeting, and taking
the fraudulent bill prepared to destroy it.
An improvised orator declared that it must
be destroyed by divine FIRE, and at the word,
a gray.haired man held sunglass over the
parchment until it had kindled into a
fame and ran to ashes.-Aszamatter of course.
this popular spasm produced numberless
feuds. Duels and formal rencountres were of
daily occurrence. At the head of the opposi-
tion to this bill was Gov. James Jackson-a
most remarkable man. He was a young
Englishman, who by bis fearlessness and his
power, had so won the people that they elect
ed him Governor when be was twenty.four
years of age. He was United States Senator
when the "Yazoo Fraud" was consummated,
and he at once resigned his seat, came home,
and canvassed the State for its repeal. He
was unsparing in his denunciatious, and
readily fought any man who excepted to
his utterances. Within few months he
fought halfdozen duels One of these was
remarkable in its terms and conclusion. He
was challenged to fight duel at the conclu-
sion of one of his speeches. Having become
tired of the ordinary "afairs," he determined
to make this one pattern that would serve
as warning. He prescribed, therefore, that
he and his opponent should each get into q
small boat at o'clock at night and pull to
opposite sides of the Savannah river. At
precisely IL o'clock they should start for a
thickly wooded island that lay in the middle
of the river. Upon reaching the island each
man should stand by his boat for the space
of ten minutes. He should then 20 into the
woods in search of his foe, and upon rem
countre they should fight to the death. Meth
er was to be restricted in the weapons he
used.
The duel came off as arranged. 1t was
dark night. Precisely at midnight the two
boats shot out from the opposing shores, each
bearing solitary occupant. The island was
reached, and, after an hour and half, two or
three gunshots were heard. At daybreak
the island was visited and search was insti.
tuted for the two duelsts. They were found
at length, both prone on the ground. Jack
son was lying next to the ground, his oppo.
nent, stock dead, stretched across his body.
jackson was alive and recovered from the
effects of the fight. For years and years
Jackson was the idol of Georgia, and left be-
hind him posterity as brilliant and as brave
as he Observation-Disclosures Times.

a bewildered look, around.
"What-where am II" she family asked.
In few words, she was informed of what
had occurred. She looked much distressed,
and clasping her hands, she exclaimed, with
unfeigned anxiety
"Oh! I shall be too late. I will never get

"Where did you wish to go?" asked the
physician, kindly. ...

mean?"
"Yes, sir"
Three watches were simultaneously pulled
out, and by joint evidence it was established
that the hour was precisely quarter to eight.
"Oh then, if I make haste think can
be ready" she exclaimed, in tone of relief.
But as she attempted to rise, her strength
failed her, and she sank back again.

ton yet," said the physician. "Instead of
going to the theatre, let me persuade you to

added, turning to Allan, who Immediately
departed, with alacrity, on the errand.

CHAPTER XIII.

Myra's engagement to Mr.. Lacy, of which
We have permitted her to give an account for
herself, was, as she had anticipated, sur.
prise to the whole household. Her uncle
was sincerely glad, and congratulated her
warmly on her prospects He had a great
esteem for Mr.. Lacy ; considered him thor
oughly reliable and good hearted man, and
was sure he would make an excellent hus
band. Mrs. Dashwood was partly pleased,
partly piqued 1t was satisfaction to her to
get rid ofMyra, but the satisfaction was scarce
ly equal to her chagrin at the idea of the eide
pant object of her tyrannical authority being
elevated into a social and influential position
quite equal to her own. Mr. Lacy, hough he
had never made display of wealth, was, as
she knew, fully as we'll off as her husband,
and Myra would have ample means at her
disposal. Already as his J6ancse, her position
in the family was changed, for Mr.. Lacy's
future wife could not be treated with. the ig-
nominy and neglect which the penniless Or
phan, without prospects, had received. Mrs.
Eastwood contented herself with treating the
subject, when discussing it with her friends, in
a half sneering sort of way, speaking Of Mr..
Lacy as "the old gentleman" and saying
that "poor Myra would doubtless find great
change in her life. Mr.. Lacy was scarcely a
person to accommodate himself to the fancies
of a young girl, but presumed it would be all
for the best. Of course as far as the 6nan-
cial part of the affair went, it was entirely
satisfactory" Allan, as usual, offered no
opinion aud testified no astonishment Helen
was unfeignedly astonished, but did not know
whether to be pleased or not.

Myra," she said, seriously.
Myra laughed her spirits had risen won.

II had no idea of it either, Helen, assure
you" she replied.
"But are you?" queried Helen, earnestly.
"Indeed, cannot answer that question,
because have by no means arrived at a
positive opinion on the subject" was Myras
reply. "But I don't think it matters very
much-do you?'
"Why, yes, do" said Helen, aghast. II
think people are very wrong to marry with
out love. But perhaps you are in love and
don't know it, she added, hopefully. Myra
laughed again.
"Your artlessness is amazing to me, Helen,
considering that you have been at boarding.
school too! But see here, would you advise
me, under the circumstances, not to marry ??
II would not undertake to advise that be.

and you may be very happy with him."
1T would be unfortunate, indeed, if were
not happier with him than l have been in
this house" said Myra, more seriously. " You

KRUPP'S GREAT GUN FACTORY.

A correspondent writing from Berlin says {:
can International congress of rare character
assembled short time ago at Bredelar, in
Rhenish Prussia. Mr.. Krupp, the greatest
gunmaker of the world and director of the
celebrated foundry at Essen, invited repre-
sentatves of all tionalities-Russian, Eng
lish, Austrian, Belgian, Spanish, Portuguese,
Danish, Brazilian and even Japanese-to
witness the experiments of new piece of ar
tillery, the plated cannon, or, as it is called
in German, the "panzer canone" The num-
ber of officers present at the interesting ex-
periments was ffty-fve. The object was to
solve two problems considered extremely diff.
fcult, and which have hitherto de6ed the in.
genuity Of inventors: First, a permanent
pointing in aim secondly, the protection of
the piece. Now, this new Krupp gun has no
recoil, and, therefore, it is only necessary to
aim it once if the object does not change. In
the second place it can neither be damaged
nor dismounted by the enemy. The artillery
who serve it are sheltered in sort Of sentry
box containing the gun and the gunners. The
roof and the exterior sides are protected by
earth, while the front is pierced by hole for
the passage of the mouth of the gun. The
enemy can see nothing but this hole. The
experiment was so decisive that almost all the
officers wanted to 60 into the sentry box while
two enormous siege guns showered shot upon
them at short range. This invention may
bring about revolution in the art of defend
ing strongholds.
1t is known that the Emperor, while at the
military maueurves at Essen, visited the fac.
tory Of the Messrs Krupp, and this affair re.
calls the origin of this great industrial fam
lily. When the first chief of the factory came
to Essen, the village had only 5000 iRhabi-
tants. To day it has 10000. Krupp COM
menced in 1910 with ten workmen, and in
1S43 he had one hundred. It was his son,
Alfred Krupp, that gave the establishment
the nrndioiAls daualnnmant 10 which Il has

h6r The rate of growth of the human fami-
ly is curious. The most rapid increase takes
place Immediately after birth, the growth Of
an infant during the first year being about
eight inches, the ratio of increase gradually
decreasing until the age Of three years, at
which time the size attained is half that which
will be reached when full grown.
