says the canal route has been thoroughly
studied, its difficulties investigated and prac-

THE DAVIS FISHER CASE
Rev. 4. J. DAVIS, of Madclla. was &C
cuscd OF attempting to poison his partner
John Fisher, in the milling business at Made
liza, by giving him raisns in which strychnine
had been inserted. The trial took place at
jamestown county, the seat Of Watonwan
county and occupied eight days, and
awakening much interest. Feb e5, the j1ry
brought in 4 verdict of not guilty. The agree
ment is said to have been reached, ten minutes
after their retirement The public generally
expected a verdict of acquittal. The ve,.
dict was received with little demonstration
Davis tooS it calmly, as though he had bee,
expecting it. The only man in the room who
appeared the least excited was Fisher, who
turned pale with anger, nuttcrcd with an oath
that tho cXt time he would take the law in
his own hands, and left the room. Mr.. Davis
received the congratulations of his friends
shook the jurors warmly by the hand and
breathcd a sigh of relief that the tedious trial
was at last flashed.
INSECURITY OF THE WINTER PALACE.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says il
may be unintclligiblc to many persons abroad
how the Nihilists succeeded in doing thei,
work in the very residence of the Imperial
family. Probably no other building in s,
Petersburg is less safe than the winter palace
1t has always been a refuge for numberless
vagabonds, workmcn, friends of the servants
and others-many without passports who
would not live with impunity anywhere else
The imperial ukase Of last April gave full
powers to General Gourko 10 search the build
ing of the palace. The appointment of Gen
Welikof as virtual dictator has created good
impression, especially in circles where he
himself and his previous civil administrator,
are best known. His rule at KorkhoG. though
mild has been effective in repressing disor
ders. His views generally are known to be
liberal. All classes feel the measures takcr
are necessary and wisetand think Gen. Well
koff is the man most fitted for the place. NJ
well informed person believes in any wide
spread conspiracy amongst dignitaries, cou,t
officials or the military. -,
