Of the foregoing figures. do know that
as matter of fact the consumption of
Kanawha Goals, is increasing enormously
for manufacturing purposes, for ordinary
fuel and for the production OF gas. Ten
million bushels of Kanawha coal went out
on water alone last year, while the export
by rail was fifty per cent more. Compare
this with the three million bushels which
represented the entire Kanawha product
ten years ago, and you get some idea of the

also that there has not been
offered any railroad transportation
to carry these Goals to a western market.
Indeed, there has been but partial devel-

News Items.
The Baltimore, Cincinnati and Western
Railroad Company to-day recorded here its
mortgage in favor of the Mercantile Trust
Company, of New York, to secure its issue
of bonds, amounting to eighteen million OF
dollars. The mortgage has now been re-
corded in all the counties through which
the road passes in Ohio, and in Mason and
Kanawha counties this State. 1t will prob
ably require two weeks to complete the re-
cordation for the entire route. There is a
growing confidence that this road will be
built.
The new telegraph line building by the
Atlantic and Northwestern railroad be-
tween this city and Point Pleasant is nearly
completed. 1t will prove a great relief
against the exaCtions of the Chesapeake
and Ohio telegraph line-exactions which
have been felt by the press OF your city i'll
more than one instance.
As an illustration of the rapid advance
of real estate here, may mention the sale

The land purchased was for lumber COM

Judge Guthrie's court has been in session

cases, unless the defendants succeed in
their efforts to obtain continuanccs.

for Years,
THE QUESTION OF LEGAL INSANITY.

1t is probable that during the current
consider and decide what rule, touching
doubts as to the sanity of the prisoner,
shall be followed. Upon this question,
more than thirty years ago, twelve Eng
lish judges, in the MeNaughton case, de-
eided that ian individual is punishable
according to the nature OF the crime
committed, if he knew at the time Of
committing such crime that he was act
ing contrary to the law" They also de-
cided that in order to obtain exemption
from punishment under the plea Of in
SANITY, tile defence making such plea
must clearly prove, "that, at the time of
committing the act, the party accused
was laboring under such defect of rea-
son from disease Of the mind as not to
know the nature and quality of the act
he was doing, or, if he did know it, that
he did not know he was doing wrong"
In two cases, known as the McGlue
and Holmes cases, United States judges
have held that the burden of showing
his own responsibility rests upon the
accused. The English rule has been
adopted in Virginia, West Virginia,
Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
twelve other States, and the late Justice
Hornblower, of New Jersey-a State
practical and sensible beyond all Others
in regard to its criminal procedures-re-
cited the rule for that State III this FASH
ion: "The proof of insanity at the time
ofcommitting the act ought to be as clear
and satisfactory in order to acquit him
on the ground of insanity, as on the
other hand the proof of committing the
act ought to be in order to find sane
man guilty"
On the other hand, the courts of New
Hampshire, Illinois, Kansas and six
other States have held, that "where the
jury has reasonable doubt of the pris-
Oner's sanity he must he acquitted
From the testimony, however, and the
conduct of the prisoner, it is not likely
that the adoption of either rule would
serve to save the prisoner from the con-
sequences Of his crime.
