Thieves in LOndOpk,

Considering what temptations arc.
placed in their way, it is not wonderful
that the larcenous experts of the light
finger and the nimble foot flourish in
this huge metropolis. A day or two
since was recorded very neat case A.
theft, of which o suburban tradesmaI
was the unwilling victim. One of hie
light carts was out delivering goods and
taking orders, and in the course of its
circuit came to stop in Maida-vale.
There the man in charge left it and went
into a customers house in regular
course. Unfortunately the road was
cup" a steam roller was putting and
snorting by leisurely stages over the
crushed macadam, and, to keep his
horse safe, the judicious butter man lad
left the animal few yards further of
from the house than it's usual position.
When he returned from a brief inter-
view with "cook," the horse and cart
had disappeared into the ininities, and
with them about forty pounds of butter
large assortment of sausages, and va
rious baskets of eggs. The police were
put on the alert and in few hours the
horse and cart were discovered about a
mile off, the thieves having carried
away all the contents except the eggs,
which obviously owed their immunity to
the fact that they would not survive IL
tact hasty fight, while they might
leave awkward tell-tale evidence Of
the road they took.-Londoa Telegraph

Sensation in a Kentucky Court.

A thrilling event occurred in the court
room at Nicholasville, Ky, on the night of
Aug. %. For week past Charles II. Arnold

ter. G. j. Bronston, for the State replied to
Senator VOORHEES,, of Arnold's counsel. and in
his summary denounced part of the testimony
for the defendent as forgery, when Senator
Voorhees, interrupted, saying, May it please
he court, no such testimony as that has been
introduced in court denounce the state
ment as untrue" Bronson, turning to the
senator said, earnestly and emphatically that
there was such defense, and that his statement
was true. The buzz of voices became louder
and women's faces began to pale. Again the
senator said it was untrue, and again the at
torney asseverated the truthfulness OF his
statements. A third time the senator said, II
say that it is not true" Then Bronson said in
reply, II say it is true.' 4 man named j . T.
Newell, who was sitting on the lower step of
the judges stand, friend of the prisoner.
said nothing of the kind had been offered in
testimony. At the same time some person in
the audience came to the bar and shouted it
was damned lie" Immediately following
that came woman's scream, and then ensued
scene Of confusion and riotous disorder al
most impossible to portray. While this was
going on struggle took place inside the bar,
near the jurors. A brother OF the prisoner
had run up to Mr.. Bronson, prosecuting at
torney, and pointing pistol at his bosom, ex-
claimed: "Oh, G-d-you, I've got you
now" Before he could fire the pistol, not
having been cooked when presented, some BY
stander grasped his arm and turned the muz-
zle aside. Mr.. Bronson backed to the judges
stand and cried, "Give me pistol, give me a
pistol, somebody! Don't you see that man is
trying to shoot me?" The rufian was soon
disarmed, and quiet restored. He was subse-
quently tried, convicted, ana sentenced to the
penitentiary for one year and to pay fine of
$1,000.
