The criminal court Bible yesterday was eff
fectively used as "the law and the testi-
mony' in case by the counsel for a prisoner
who had been arrested for disorderly conduct.
The defendant, Charles Parker, is "long-
shoreman," living at No. SO Monroe street,
and his trouble grew out of the arrest of his
wife two days previous for quarreling with q
Mrs. Jane Garvey, cO-tenant. Mrs. Parker
was locked up in default of $4O0 bail and a
six months peace warrant. When Parker
returned home he found three helpless child
rem left on his hands and his wife in rrison.
Parker got mad, and went out of the house
and got good and drunk. When he returned
he abused the neighbors who had caused his
wife's imprisonment. and he, too was arrested.
He was brought before Justice Flammer at
Essex Market Court yesterday, and when
asked what he had to say for himself, Coun-
selor Hathaway stepped forward and said:
MAY it please your Honor, appear for
this man. and my defense is an appeal to the
great authority and statute of God," at the
same time placing his hand upon the Bible.
"Well, let US hear ii" said the magistrate.
cit is here" responded the counselor, as
he opened the book at Proverbs, 31st chapter,
and read from the 4th verse;

drink wine nor for princes strong drink his applies
to Judges on the bench also.l
Lest they drink and forget the law and pervert the
Judgment of any of the afflicted
"Gve strong drink unto him that is ready to perish.
and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts,"
"Then follows, your Honor, the section I
wish to call your attention to:
y" Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remem
Der his misery more"
"Now, had the prisoner no misery?" He
was poor man, and his neighbors cast bis
wife into prison and left three helpless chill
dren to his care"
The magistrate asked to see the book, and
having again read the passage, he discharged
Parker. with the suggestion that he let his
neghbors alone hereafter.

The certificates of Drs. Craik and Dick, the
physicians who attended George Washington
at the time of his death, has just been un-
earthed from q Georgetown newspaper of
1899 1t does not appear in any of the bio
graphies of Washington. The certificate con-
cludes thus: ''He was fully impressed at the
beginning of his complaint, as well as through
every succeeding stage of it, that its conclu-
sion would be mortal; submitting to the sew
eral exertions made for his recovery rather
as a duty than from any expectations of their
efficacy. He considered the operation of
death upon his system as coeval with the
disease; and several hours before his de-
cease, after repeated efforts to be understood,
succeeded in expressing desire that he
might he permitted to die without interrupt
ion. During the short period of his illness
he economical his time in the arrangements
of such few concerns as required his atten-
ton with the utmost serenity, and anticipated
his approaching dissolution with every de-
monstraton of that equanimity for which his
whole life has been so uniformly and singu-
larly conspicuous"

AS fully described in the Chronicle Herald,
one day last week, owing to the mistake of q
telegraph operator, two freight trains on the
Philadelphia and Erie railroad came into COL
lision near Cameron Mills. Chris Dean was
the engineer of one of the trains. Both he
and the fireman were fastened beneath the
wreck of their locomotive. Dean was held
by one of his legs, which was caught by the
fire box of the engine. His fireman was near
lv buried under the pieces of the wreck.
When the men were discovered, Dean had
managed to reach his tool box, and he was
making every endesvor to extricate the fire.

to their aid, Dean shouted: "Help poor,
poor Jim; never mind met" The fireman
was extricated as soon rs possible, but in an
unconscious condition. Dean was then taken
out 1t was then ascertained that during all
the time he had been working to release his
fireman the fire-box was burning his leg to

Last Spring some quilts were missing from
Glmores livery stable, and Jimmy Connolly,
little boy, whose father resides on Califor-
MIA street, was accused of the theft. He was
arrested, but strongly declared his innocence.
He acknowledged that he knew who took the
quilts, though he didn't take then. Nothing
could induce him to name the culprits His
father, fearing that he was not innocent of
the accusation, sent him to the Reform
School at Plainville. He wrote to bis father
whenever he had an opportunity, reiteratipg
his innocence. and begging to be brought
back home. The father, believing that he
was doing what was best for the boy, let him
remain. A few days ago the child was sent
home corpse, having died of home-sickness.
When he knew he was going to die he made
a statement of what he knew about the theft,
and again asserted his innocence He hated
to give the boys away, he said they had
been his friends, but he did not want to die
with such charge against him. He named
the lads who had committed the theft, but
affirmed that he was not with them.
