A CoMPLICATING TECHNICALITY.-AP point

A CoMPLICATING TECHNICALITY.-A point
which may possibly result in the acquittal Of
Pritchard, now on trial fer murder. The
eleventh Juror secured yesterday was ). Z.
Dorsey, and when asked if he had any preju-
dice against capital punishment said that he
h ID not He was accordingly sworn in. The
twelfth Juror was secured soon afterwards
! and when he had been sworn in Dorsey In
| formed the Court that he would not vote to
hang man under any circumstances. The
Court here suggested that he was hardly the
| man for the case and he WAS challenged by
! the prosecution and excused. Mr. Soderberg,
for the defense, Immediately fled special
plea in which he held that as the prisoner had
been put on trial for his life and acquitted he
could not be tried for the same ofense. In
law a mans life is in jeopardy as soon as the
Jury is sworn in and the discharge of one
juror after the twelve have been Swern, in is
held to be equivalent to discharging the whole.
The Court took the matter under Amusement
until this morning. The question now arises
AS to whether Soderberg is entitled to new
jury to pass upon his plea. Should de-
cision be rendered in his favor Pritehard be-
comes free man without further trial The
hitch was caused by the juror Dorsey, who
swore that he did not object to hanging, and
Immediately afterward asserted still under
oath, exactly to the contrary. With such
man on a jury it would of course be impos-
sible to convict, and it appears that at the
time his mental condition became known it
was impossible to discharge him without dis
organizing the jury.

A CURIOUS ACCIDENT Yesterday after

A CURIOUS ACCIDENT. Yesterday after
aoon curious accident happened to party
Of excursionists from San Francisco who
were driving down from Lake Bigler. John
Simons, William Townsend and Charles n.
Balch who had spent week at the lake were
coming down in private conveyance; when
in Clear Greek canyon just this side of where
the flume crosses the read for the first time,
the team was struck by falling boulder
They were driving along leisurely when Mr.
Balch saw the rock, which weighed several
tons coming down the steep mountain side.
He called the attention OF his comrades to
the fact, and an effort was made to whip the
horses up. At the same instant they saw the
danger themselves, and became SO frightened,
that they simply backed on their launches
and snorted with terror. 1t was only the work
of few seconds for the rock to reach the
team, an it struck them 1t swept them of
the road into the stream at the right, and
sent the wagon and its occupants into the
bushes. The heavy growth of willows broke
the force of their fall, and aside from few
scratches they were uninjured. One of the
horses was completely obliterated and the dri
yer, Townsend, was covered with the spatter-
ed blood The other horse was so badly man.
gled that he was shot IN the head with revol-
vers to relieve him of his misery Last night
Doc Benton sent up team and brought down
the wagon which was but little damaged |
The fall of the boulder was probably caused
by the gradual loosening OF the soil beneath
it, The horses belonged to the party and |

A HARTFORD Comm man had fall
and was rendered insensible. After
being taken home surgeon discovered
slight wound in his body, close by the
heart, and thought the man had been
either stabbed or shot. A few days
later, however, small pieces of black
lead began to come out of the wound,
and it was then concluded that, in
falling, the point of lead pencil which
the man had in his vest pocket had
penetrated the body. Probing, later,
brought out little wood. The
surgeons, who had watched the case
with much interest, then used the knife,
and, to their establishment, whole lead
pencil, which had been sharpened but
once, was extracted. 1t was five and
three-eighths inches long, and the wood
was split in two. 1t had been CON-
pletely imbedded below the chest and
not half an inch from the heart. The
man was very weak, but it was thought
he would recover.

Cabinet Recreations.

The members of the Cabinet, says a
Washington letter, sometimes have very
amusing interviews with ladies, as the
following will illustrate:
Young Lady-Mr. Secretary, 1 have
called to see if you can tell me when
Capt. - is to be ordered away, and
where he will 60 TOP
Sec.-I really do not know. Do yon
wish him ordered away?
Y. L.-No, indeed, this with very
conscious look and a slight increase in
color;) only if you were would like to
know, for you see, quilting out her
handkerchief and putting her little
gloved finger in her mouth la Maggie
Mitchell,) you know Mr.. -, now
don't you? &
Sec.-How should I?
Y. L.-Then I'll tell you, (this with a
look of determination. I'm going to
marry him, and if you are going to
order him off why we want to get mar
ried before. That is all.
Sec.-I have not thought of ordering
him away, and since he is going to en-
gage in such pleasant business will not.
Y. L.-Oh! Mr.. - amt you good?
I'm so glad. Now I'll have plenty of
time to get ready.
Another young lady sends in her card
and is admitted, when the following
conoquy takes place. ....
Y. LII have called to see if you will
not give permission to Lieut.. to
come here from A-P
Sec.-Any of his near relatives sick !?
(scanning her closely.)
+ Y. L.-No, sir. His friends want to
see him SO much, and you can have him
come if you want to.
Sec.-Oh! 1 see how it is. If you
will say you are his sweetheart he shall
come.
Y. L.-Yes, sir, he is! (saying this
with both hands hiding her face.)
The Secretary says that he gave per-
mission to that officer to come, telegraph
ing to him to that effect within the hour.
All Secretaries are not like the one we
are speaking of, SO young ladies must
not presume on the above incidents for
they might not be as successful as our
two enterprising young ladies'. @

A REMARKABLE double triangle OF
spots may now be seen on the sun. The
larger of the figures marked out by the
spots includes, perhaps, one-seventh Of
the solar disk, and is more nearly per-
feet right angled triangle than the aver
age student Of geometry could draw by
the eye. At each angle is an oblong,
purplish spot. A magnifying power Of
fifty diameters readily separates ! the
southwestern spot into three spots. two
of which are very much smaller than
the other, and these three mark out a
second triangle, included in the first.
The effect of this peculiar arrangement
is striking. Higher powers reveal de-
tails which show that tremendous forces
are agitating the suns surface-forces
probably sufficient in energy to shatter
our globe, or send it spinning out of its
orbit.
