During the A. lanta Exposition Senator
Brown presented himself TO the people In
a suit Of clothes manufactured in twenty
four hours, the cotton being picked, ginned,
prepared for the mill, woven into cloth,
dyed. and made up into suit OF clothes
during that period 1t appears that the
feat was anticipated seventy years ngo by
Sir John Throckmorton, an English bnro.
net. In 1911, Sir John caused two sheep
be shorm hnd tn e wool spun, spoiled,
warped, loomed, and woven; the cloth
buried, milled, dyed, dried sheared and
pressed, had it made mp by tailor, and
presented himself IN the new suit to 5000
spectators, all within thirteen hours and
twenty minutes from the time the sheep
sliearing began.--Er.

Ex-Governor n. X. Scott Acul,ted.

Tho result OF the trial OF Ex-Governor
r. X. Scott, for the murder Of young Drury,
was not surprise to any one who has paid
attention to the administering Of JUS
tice for some years past. Money and n
brilliant array of counsel go far toward
establishing the innocence of the perpe-
traitors OF crime. With all our boasted
civilization Western Justice, if not now
soon will be recognized AZ an improve
ment upon our own.
The case went to the jury at p. NJ. las,
Friday and their verdict Of acquiltal was
rendered at IL A. NJ. Saturday. The case
had occupied two weeks. The special re-
porter for the Toledo Bee, who furnished
very full proceedings Of the trial, thus
sums up the labors Of the jury:
What was done by the Jury after the
case was given into their hands, despite
their agreement TO keep II n secret, soon
leaked out. Over thirty ballots were taken
Ivy them between Friday at 4 T.. M, nm,
Saturday at 8 A. NJ, without mn agreement
At first there was great diversitv OF opin,
Ion among them, which was only dispelled
after mnch discussion and reasoning The
FIRST ballot stood as follows; Murder Il,
the second degree, B. manslaugbter, 3 F; M
rault and battery, !, and acquiiinl, 8. III,
next wns. Murder In the second degree 4
granddaughter, 6; acquittal, =. Third
Murder In the second degree, 2; man
slaughter, 2; aequiltnl, 3,
BY 3 o'clock Saturday morning Il was
very evident that, without further insirue
lions, they would be unable 10 agree. The
question hinged npon what was termed in
law u reasonable doubt, several OF the IN
rors being uncertain M 10 what constituted
such. Upon receiving the charge Ia writ.

Conkling's sudden interest IN Garfield before

His interest in Garfield broke out just after
the Maine election. He was fishing at that
time and it reminded me of the old negro fish
ING from the dock at the foot Of Christopher
street. There were several little colored boys
playing around him, and one of them fell over,
board The old man dropped his line and
pitched in after him. He came to the surface
with the little Niger in his arms, just as
Conklngscame to the surface after the Indiana
election with Garfield IN his arms, and the
people on the dock threw them a line. When
they were hauled out everybody praised the
old blackamoor for his heroism. is the little
fellow your son p asket bystander. No the
old man replied oh, | didn't know but what
he was, the enquirer observed, because you
pitched after him so quick The old negro
opened his eyes. Why, de Lord Dress you,
man y he said, de boy had all de bait in his
pocket And that was what was the matter
with Conkling. Garfield had all the bait in his
pocket"
