The AtrOciOns Conduct of R Married
BEan OF Nevada.
Virainia Chronicle


Yesterday afternoon John Meeker
was tried before Justice Knox on
the charge of disturbing the peace
| and assault and battery. The case
grew out of Il disturbance which
took place at social party at Mr..
Adams house on South + street. 1t
appeared that the defendant, Meek
er, had been invited to little party
at Adams house on Tuesday even
ing. He attended the party, taking
his girl. Adams, in the course of
the evenings festivities, began to
take liberties with the girl, and
Meeker raised row, which ended
in an assault on Adams.
Adams, the complaining witness,
testified that while the frolic was i'm
progress the defendant charged him
with improper conduct toward the
young lady he brought there, and
finally assaulted him, striking him
once in the eye (cye exhibited TO
the jury.)
Attorney for the defense-Mr.
Adams, did you not deport yourself
in an unseemly way toward the
young lady?
The witness-Not altogether.
Attorney-Now, didn't you hug
her?
Witness-Yes, by mistake. (The
jury look at one another in aston
ishment.)
Attorney-Please explain.
Witness-I was sitting on the
sofa alongside my wife when sud-
denly gust of wind put out the
light. After the light was ex-
tinguished | heard noise as II
people were getting kissed Tsensa-
ton so / thought I'd stand in.
grabbed the lady next to me, think
ing il was my wife, and when the
lamp was re-lighted / found 1t was
Miss Clark that had hold of.
The laughter in the room was
checked by Constable Metcalf
Attorney-Did you kiss her?
Witness (after some hesitation)-I
] don't think / did.
Att0rney-Why are you not sure?
Witness--There was so much con-
fusion at the
Attorney-Now, don't you know
you did?
Witness-~I won'tswear positively
whether ! did or not.
Attorney-If you had been sure
it was your wife, would you have
kissed her?
Here the witness looked round
uneasily for a few seconds, and not
seeing his wife i'm the courtroom,
answered, with a grin, "NO."
This caused another general laugh,
= L. u.aGN 81, -
was more than astonished mo-
mept after when his wife was
called. She swept out from the
back room and took the stand, with
her black eyes swapping like ter
Fleg's. At the sight Of her Adams
presented pitiable appearance and
made himself as small as possible
behind Constable Metcalf. No man
in the courtroom would have
changed places with him for a
thousand dollars,
Mrs, Adams had been subpenaed
for the prosecution, but her husband
labOred under the mistaken belief
that she haQ been excused. The
District Attorney must have known
that 1t was dangerous to put her on
the stand, but he probably could |
not resist the temptation. She was
more than anxious to testify.

"And so you've give up your sit
uatiOn and come home, said kind,
motherly old Mrs. Briefly, gazing
wistfully over the tops of her spec
tacles into Lilly's sad, fair young
face. "And that just two days after
the gentleman told you he wanted
to marry you! Well, well, well, to
be sure ~
And she sighed heavily and shook
her head as if it were full of mis-
givings.
"He didn't speak of marriage"
said Lilly, blushing red; "there was
scarcely time for that when we were
interrupted. / did not see him

A lecture delivered at the Berlin
University some three months ago,
by Prof. Duhels- Raymond, bears
the ominOus title: "The End of
Our World," and says that every
movement upon our planet, with
the exception of the tides. which
are caused by the attraction OF the
moon is caused by solar heat. As,
however, the sun loses portion Of
his caloric every year, science has
lately come To the conclusion that
he will not exist as an emitter Of
warmth longer than for seventeen
million years to come. During this
space of time our earth will get
colder and colder, In proportion ~
the solar heat shall diminish. The
leo viii advance from the poles To
the equator; the earth's population
will gradually recede before the ad-
vancing glaciers; the sun will be-
come less and less luminous, until
he will present the appearance of a
dark red ball, and finally ice will
annihilate all vitality on our planet.

Col. BREwER, Auditor Of Alaba-
ma, said In resent declaration, IN
alluding to the result Of a general
negro exodus: "White labor would
no longer come in competition with
the black labor there would be no
vast hordes of unskilled laborers to
butcher the lands and wreck the
homestead there would be no
squalor, and but little idIeness; few-
er crimes and more Intelligence.
White cottages would begin to fleck
the landscape as the torrent Of im-
migration came pouring in; tillage
would be more thorough and Its inn
plements more perfect schools and
churches would be sustained as the
population thickened, and our chill
dren educated at home as the stan
dard of education advanced, and as
the marshes were drained.

He Took a Beer Glass.

Yesterday morning about II o'clock,
James Darragh, well known character,
walked into the saloon of Joseph
Steckle, and called for glass of beer.
After drinking it, he asked fer dish of
soup il being lunch day. AS it was late
the lunch was gone, and he was so in
formed, but the Information did not sat
isfy him, so he picked up beer glass
and walked out with it. Mr.. Stoeckle
was informed of the transaction by his
son, and he Immediately started after
Darragh, and demanded the glass. His
request was not complied with, and he
was further informed that the first man
who attempted to take the glass would
suffer with cut head. Finding that
moral suasion had no effect, Mr.. s. oeckle
proceeded to the police office, and OBJ.
tanned warrant for Darragh's arrest.
Be was given hearing this morning by
His Honor the Mayor, who after hearing
the evidence dismissed the case OH the
ground that 1t was not larceny because
the prisoner did not try to conceal the
stolen property.
