Point of Jurisdiction

WAsHINGToN, Oct. q. - Scoville,
Guiteau's consel, occasioned much sur
prise yesterday when he declined to
raise the point of Jurisdiction, argu-
ment on which had been set forth on
the 30th instant. It is stated however,
that the point is only reversed, 50 as to
be of more service to the accused.
Should he be tried and convicted writ
of habeas corpus will be taken, and the
plea of the writ of jurisdiction then
raised. Should it then be decided that
the District Court was without jurisdic-
ton, Seville is then assured by a very
high legal authority that his client could
not be tried in New Jersey. as that
would be to put him in peril of his life
second time for the same offensc.
Should argument be made before the
trial, and Judge Cox decide that he had
no jurisdistion, this chance for the life
of Guiteau would be lost.

The New York water Famine

New YORK, Oct %. - Alarm is
caused by the scarcity of water. The
reservoir. cannot hold out longer than 7
days unless replenished by rain. The
main pipes are kept filled to insure an
ample supply for fire purposes. To
maintain this supply, and at the same
time furnish manufacturers with the
water to continue work, the people
are compelled to abandon their baths.
Wells forgotten since the introduction
Of the Croton water are being cleared
out for use. The present drought is
unprecedented.

Better Light Wanted ,

There is much complaint against the
unsatisfactory system Of street lighting
in this city. On dark night the in
significant coal oil fiickers stuck ON the
tsp of lamp post, scarcely give more
light than twinkling star. The ex-
pense attached to this style of illun1ina-
ton it is true is not SO great, but is no
better than none at all. The APPEAL.
is informed that the streets can be light
ed with gas, atan expense not exceeding
SIS above the present cost. Let us
have gas by all means.

Three Hen Lynehed i.

DENVER, Oct. 28.-Dell Lockhart,
"kid" Coulter and man known as
"Slim," were lynched at Terra Arma-
rilla, Col, last night. Lockhart and
"Slim'' were arrested few weeks age
for horse stealing. Coulter was i'm
rrisened for murder committed at
Chama nine months ago. The immedi-
ate cause for lynching was the discov-
cry OF Coulter's plan to kill the guard
and escape.

RAILROAD WARS.

On the surface the great railroads of
The East would seem to be governed
more by passion than reason, says the
San Francisco Bulletin. A great rail-
way war breaks out between them once
ortwice year. Rates are then cut to
figures that are simply astounding. If
they have never yet gone down to pay
ing for the privilege of transporting
freight and passengers, they have, as a
matter of fact, not been very far away
from it. To all outward appearances
these great enterprises are operated in
a state of nature, and state of nature,
according to Hobbies, is state of mu-
tual brigandage. But this is what is
revealed only on the surface. Below
this seeming recklessness there is cold
calculation. Monopelies can do things
that are not possible under conditions
of competition. They can, to all APP
pearances, fling money away and get it
all back again with interest. The low
rates can always be succeeded by high
rates. Some individuals in the inter-
va. may come across a windfall Of
cheap fare or freight. But the great
railroads don't care about individuals.
They deal with the public at large. 1t
follows that the seeming violation of
oil buSinasS r1IeS in railroad wars is no
violation at all. for all that is lost for the
moment can easily enough be recovered.
But, in the meantime, currents of bust
ness are broken up which were making
for one railroad at the expense of the
others: Perhaps, also, full line of
contracts has been put out by some
road which considered that it was not
getting its share.

Mr.. Jones, of New York, says in the
,Sun: Any responsible heraldic author
ity will inform you that the national
color of Ireland is azure (sky blue) So,
paradoxical as it may appear, the
"wearing of the green" by an Irish
man, as an Indicative of the national
color, is incorrect The banners, too,
of the ancient kings and chieftains of
Ireland were azure, especially on such
occasions as that of national demon
stration, either of Church or State or of
battle. The "Green Flag" is an inno-
walton, is comparatively modern and
quite unauthorized.

Comments on Judge Folser's Nomination

NEW YORK, Oct. 81. - The Times
says !: While the fitness of the Chief
Justice Of the Court of Appeals to deal
with questions of national finance can
only be presumed, it is reasonably
certain that he will not conduct the
Treasury Department in the spirit of a
politician, and in that fact, at least,
there is very solid reason for his ap-
ointment. 1t may be asserted with
equal confidence that his administration
will be cautious, incorruptible, and in
strict accordance with the law.

The San Jose papers are very inter-

from the Importance which is given to

the earthly happiness and the future
salvation of the human race depended
in it's successful erection.

An old woman had been seen for
many years hanging about the warves
where vessels were loading and unload
ed in New York harbor, intent on pick
ing up grains of coffee, corn, rice, etc,
that by chance scattered on the piers.
The other day she was badly hurt by
some heavy bags of grain falling on her.
The kind merchants took up a purse
for old Rosa and sent her to her home
in Hoboken, in charge of an officer.
What was his surprise to find that the
neat and handsome furnished cottage
was the property of the old grain picker.
She had literally built and furnished it,
as the coral workers do their homes,
grain by grain. .srE ..EE
