It is not necessary, however. to

accusation. Mr.. Davis life, or
mode of living since his release from
prison, has been such as to create
absolute disbelief in any such story

This morning F. NJ. Allen reno we'd the
body of the man who was drowned in the
Sylvan yesterday afternoon. An inquest
was held and verdict of accidental drown

cupants were thrown out into the water.
Employees at the lumber works immedi-
ately came to their assistance, and succeed
ed in rescuing Anderson but the other man
was never seen after he left the boat.
Anderson was sadly intoxicated, and could
give no account of himself or his lost COM
panion. He was accordingly placed under
arrest to give him an opportunity to

the recover the body, but after several in
effectual attempts F. NJ Allen made a
dive and finally succeeded in bringing the
remains to the shore where the inquest

A DOUBLE JOKE.

There is a certain young Spectator in
this city who some five weeks ago had oc-
casion to visit the country. While en-
gagged in conversation with some of the
farmers, the bill brigade of Coup's circus
came along and stopped directly in front OF
the group The circus men mistaking the
SPECTATOR for an honest granger, address
ed him concerning the propnety of posting
some bills on a stable belonging to the
farm. The Spectator seeing an opportun-
ity to secure some complimentaries gave
his consent to such posting, provided the
free tickets were given him. The advance
guard of the circus posted the bills and
gave the specializing young man three tick
cts on which was written, good for June
4th at Rock Island.
Coup's show came on the 4th of July.
and when the young man thought of the
date he felt that he had not got SO far
ahead of that circus as he at first believed
He went to the show. and had the pleas
ure of paying so cents just the same as
any other honest granger.

VERDICT.

GALLON FOUND GUILTY THIS MORNING OF
MURDER.
Private dispatches from Cambridge this
afternoon are to the effect that the long
contested murder trial of Glenn Gallon for
the killing of Mrs, Thomas Dilley. was ter
minated this morning by the jury return
ing verdict, two hours after they had
been sent to the jury room The particu-
lars Of this homicide are too recent to re-
ousre an extended recital. The crime was
committed on the 10th of last December,
when the brute sntered the farm house of
Thos. Dilley, and then killed both hus-
band and wife. Suspicion first attached
to Glenn GALLON, from the fact that he had
in his possession watch which was iden-
titled as belonging to the murdered man.
GALLON was arrested, and soon other proof
was secured that established reasonable
presumption that GALLON was the guilty
person.
The usual dilatory proceedings were had
to postpone the trial. but week ago last
Monday the prisoner was placed on trial
for the murder of Mrs Dilley, the indict-
ment for the murder of Thos. Dilley being
continued until the conclusion of the first
trial. A large number of witnesses were
examined both for the prosecution and de-
Tense. The arguments Were concluded this
morning, and after the Judges charge to
the jury they were sent out. In less than
two hours, the court was notified that the
jury had reached verdict The news
spread about the town, and when the
twelve meu filed into the court room, the
crowd was simply immense
The verdict was murder in the first de-
gree The penalty was fixed at death.

ficiates in the capacity of janitor at the

himself as married man until last Mon

to believe that his late better half has
taken to herself new master, although be

PREPARING.

1t is stated that certain young lawyer
who made an address on the 4th of July
was seen practicing his speech before a
mirror. The preparatory address was
made in an office not many feet removed
from Market square. The young orator
certain passages of his Grafton, SO
as to secure the most pronounced effect,
He studied the proper pose for different
parts of the speech and even practiced the
statesman,like art of hushing back his hair
with the proper wave of his handkerchief
when such an article was brought into use
Taking it all in all the rehearsal was far
better than the speech when delivered be
fore an uncaptured multitude.
Some unpatriotic listener attempted to
secure police officer and have the young
attorney arrested for disturbing the peace,
but the minion of the law refused to inter
fere, and the rehearsal was finished with
out interruption.

POLICE POINTS.

Ed. Mitchell, from all appearances. had
an unfortunate encounter yesterday, as
when arrested by the police. he was not
only intoxicated but also badly bruized
up. He claims to have landed yesterday
from boat, and in attempting to keep
cool, he became drunk Justice Chopper
did not regard the story as among the
probable events, for he fined Mitchell SIS
and costs, but suspended judgment on the
prisoner promising to leave the city.
John O'Brien was also before the police
court on charge of drunk and disorderly.
The evidence submitted tended to show
that John had not observed due regard for
the peace and quiet of the city.
He was fined 81 and costs.
