Coxs remarkable court which permits every
murderer-on trial for his life not only to con-
duct his own trial but to BLACKBOARD every
witness who is to appear against him, and
every man, witness or otherwise, who pre-
sumes to speak unfavorably of him. The
Judge did not even threaten when it was estab-
lshed on Saturday. "Mr. Prisoner" seems to
have both the court and the counsel for the
prosecution in willing subsection. The coun-
try is in very different frame of mind.
A man in Erie County, Pa, whose mouth
watered for sparerib, Thanksgiving, undertook
to slay pig for the occasion, and conceived
the novel idea of lassoing the porker and then
holding the rope in his teeth while he oper
ated on the animal with an ak. With firm
set jaw the Erie County man delivered we'll
aimed blow, but the wary shoat shot off on a
SOU west line and took with him not only the
rope, but large and varied assortment Of up
mans Thanksgiving disner consisted wholly
of "spoon victuals," and he now wears his
Jaw in q sling.
The ordinary hotel guest from the back
woods who blows out the gaslight does not
always have chance to do it again, for his
lamp of life is, in majority of instances, ex-
tinguished. When he happens to recover
from the half.dead degree Of asphyxiation
into which his simplicity has thrown him the
first thing he does is generally to VOW that he
will never blow out any more gaslights. A
striking exception to this occurs in the case
of two pumpkins who lodged at hotel in
Toronto. On being lectured by the hotel
clerk, who restored them to consciousness,
these young men nngratefully told that off,
cial that they would do it again and meant
to do it always, for they were not going to be
such fools as to turn the light down into the
pipe and cause an explosion. The chief of
these pumpkins bears the appropriate name of

In It's place.
In the opinion of this committee the stream
thrown by the La France engine within its
limits was the more solid and compact OF the
two. ;.
Owing to the limited time OF this commit
tee before the tests in which to arrange de-
tails, the quantity of oil used by the two en-
gines was not accurately recorded.
There is also some doubt as to the
quantity of coal used especially by the La
France, as load of coal was delivered to and
one load taken away from said engine, the
weight of which is unknown to this commit
tee. But as near as can be ascertained the La
France burned Il, 900 pounds for the whole
test and the Silsby $500 pounds.
A large portion of this extra amount of
coal burned by the La France machine was
used by trying to make small machine do
the same work that large one was doing, and
also during large portion of the forenoon OF
the first and afternoon of the second day the
La France was blowing off steam as on &C.
count Of the small suction and height above
the water, it could not get water enough for
its full capacity. The Silsby on the contrary
kept its pressure down and ran for economy
as well as results, blowing from Its safety
valve bnt once and then for few moments
only.
On the completion of the printed tests there
still remained the work of examining the con-
struction of the two machines, and how they
came out of the trial. Accordingly Messrs.
Osborne, Prendergast, Corning, Birge. McAfee
and Graw were appointed as subcommittee TO
visit the two steamers, examine them and re-
port upon their mechanical construction,
probable durability and characteristic
points. The report of this said sub-commit-
tee as made part of this report, is as follows:
