Eye Taken Out.

Lewis P. Cox, son Of Washington CO.
Of this city, residing at Booths Corner,
Delaware county, Pa, had his left eye
taken out by DR.. Read j. Mckay, on
Wednesday, the 2lst inst. About four
years ago, Mr.. Cox, who was black
smith, while h mmering at piece of
iron had piec . enter his eye, but in
about four weeks or so the eye healed
up and he thought got entirely well. 1t
remained so until the last of last March
when 1t began to intiame again and
grow worse, indeed 80 bad that he could
not follow his usual vocation. He ap-
piled to DR.. Mckay for reliee, and also
to several noted opticians in Philadel-
phia, but that relief sought could not be
found. Finally the eye became so bad
that it began to effect the sight of the
other eye, and there was danger of Mr.
Cox losing the sight of beth his eyes.
Under these circumstances DR.. Mckay
recommended that the injured eye be
removed, which was done successfully,
as stated, by DR.. Mckay assisted by
DR.. Price, Mr. Cox being put under the
influence of anesthetics while the opera
ton was performed. Mr.. Cox called at

rant you to bring in verdict of murder
in the first degree.
There can be no plea of self defence
for Adams picked up the piece of iron
to protect himself from the murderous
assault of Carberry; and if Adams
should have killed him it would have
been ustitiable. Morris Carberry was
in no danger and had no right to use
bis pistol; it belonged to the night
watchman and should have been left
in the office during the day time. Car
berry had an old grudge against
Adams; he had tried once b3fore to put
him out but found that he had no au.
thority to do so, AMI when | review all
the facts in the case must think that
Morris Carberry saw the deceased
coming and went into the office and
procured the revolver and he then
came out to meet him.
The State has showed that Samuel
IL. Adams had come in peaceably and
quietly, and was passing through to
his work when he was assaulted by
Carbcrry. Samuel Adams had a right
to be there and according to the testi-
mony of Mr.. Davis, if Carberry thought
that he had no right to be there, he
should have appealed to m;but no, he
chose rather to appeal to the pistol
Now gentlemen | shall leave the case
In your hands and | shall leave Morris
Carberry in your hands and you must
decide the question according to your
oaths, not your feelings. God knows
pity that man, but gentlemen you have
your duty to perform and must render
your verdict accordingly; with the con-
sequences of that verdict you have moth
ing to do; your duty is plain, You must
render a verdict according to the evi-
dehce. Mr.. Cooper closed his address
by citing number of authorities to
SHOW what constituted murder in the
first degree.
Mr.. Bates then addressed the Court,
and said that it was too late in the day

probable that if they did, that which

Michael StrOeOn.

This magnificent spectacular drama
was presented at the Opera House last
evening to fair audience, and was
grand beyond description. There were
one hundred and thirty persons en-
ployed in its production, ninety four Of
whom were professionals from Phila.
delphia, and the remainder consisting
of soldiers and supers were engaged in
this city. The orchestra consisted of
twenty-five first class performers from
New York, and better music was never
heard in this city. There were three
premiere danscuses and forty beauti-
ful coryphees on the stage at one time.
The dramatic parts we're well rendered
and American enterprise and shrewd-
ness were well portrayed by the war cor
respondent. The management certainly
gave much more than they had prom
lsed, and the announcement that in q
short time they will return with
around the world in eighty days"
will be hailed with delight. Michaei
otrogoff will be continued at the Phila-
lelphia Academy Of Music next week.

only short time ago the owner refused
$4,000 for him. Stopp's horse was

A Surplus Baby.

In yesterdays issue of the GLOBE an account
was given of the apparently inhuman conduct
of man named Charles H. Harris, who left q
three-month-old infant at the Market hotel
and was afterwards found in q house of ILL
fame under peculiar circumstances. Harris
was arraigned at the police court yesterday
morning and in view of indefinite knowledge
concerning the case the charge was made dis
orderly conduct. AS heretofore stated he
claimed to be the father of the child; stated
that he resided in Minneapolis, and that the
mother of the infant was in the hospital at
that city very sick. He pleaded poverty and
stated that he desired to put the child in
charge of the sisters.
1t will be remembered that the child was
left at the Market hotel on an order for a
nights keeping for itself and father from Aid.
Grace and that Harris was afterwards found
in q bagnio with over IS on his person. He
explained by stating that on arriving in St.
Paul he had left bundle of child's clothing at
one of the hospitals and that he started out to
procure the same, being misled by storm
door which resembled the one at the hospi-
tai.
fined $15 or ten days, accepting the latter.
Yesterday afternoon two Minneapolis ladies
called at the city hall and made inquiry for
the baby. They stated that although shift
less fellow, Harris had related correct story
about his wife, who is lying dangerously i'll
at Minneapolis.
It was the understanding that he should
leave the child in care of the sisters. On hear
ing of his escapade Mrs. Harris begged to
have the child returned and it was sent back
last night.
