SYMPATHETIC JURORS.

There is no one fact more OBJ
yious 10 the casual observer than
that which discloses laxity OF
purpose in the execution OF the
criminal law by petit jurors. 10
days by-gone men we're accus-
toned to suffer the vengeance OF
Justice for the violation OF the
law. Jurors were conscientious
and did not hesitate to exact au
atonement from criminal. Bnt
in these fast, progressive days OF
ours men commit the most afro
cious crimes, perpetrate the most
horrible deeds, override the
sternest edicts of the great civil
and moral law, place themselves
at the mercy seat of twelve men
Who are sworn to act "accordlng
to the law aud the evidence,
and after days Of expense and
tedium, the twelve sympathetic
Jurors come 10 the absurd con-
clusion that the criminal is Jus
ti6able" and turn him loose.
This is wrong. It is subversiv 9
Of order and repugnant to the
spirit OF the law. No one can
deny that bold deeds of crimi
nality are on the increase in our
country. The terross and threat
enings Of the law do not check
crime. Vicious men spurn, and
deride. and challenge the scale
Of jus;icc. They trample upon
the most sacred injunctions of
the law with immunity. They
scof at the "indipgs" and inves-
LEGATIONS Of Grand Juries. They
look for q full vindication OF
their innocence from the qoirks
of shrewd attorneys and the
squirmings Of sympathetic ju-
rors. They enter the temple Of
justice, and, with apparent earl-
estnes, demand trial, assured
by the sympathetic world that
an acquittal will most certainly
be the verdict of any jury. And
the prediction of friends and law.
yers is almost invariably true
We spoke to q disinterested law

DEADLY CHAIN LIGHTNING.
A Mans Shoe Ripped OFF A Flatiron
Torn from Woman's Hand.
New York Telegram, June l4th. ]

lNcN iDih lSite Adh "dhS ifNitJ
James Azpeli the son OF Dir. Appel,
physician residing at Fort Lee, died
TINS morning from the effects OF being
struck by lightning yesterday. The
storm thau passed over the upper por-
ton OF Bergen County, n. j., where
Fort Lee is situated, was one OF the
most terrific that was ever known IN
that locality. The storm came up from
the west at about H. o'clock, A. NJ. 1T
was accompanied ny high winds, VIVID
forked lightning, and loud peals OF
thunder a hen the storm came up,
three young men were sitting under
canvas awning spread beneath tree on
the bluff at Fort Lee working out
puzzle The young men were James
APPEL, aged IL; John Bartto, aged %;
and Alfred West, aged % The tree
under which they were was one OF tour
that stood in a square, thlrty.iive ieet
distant from each other.
THE FATAL THUNDERBoLT.
4 chain OF forked lightning struck all
these trees at once, siiverlng them to
pieces Young Azpell was struck III the
neck, the fluid running down his back,
ripping his clothes into shreds, and
leaving him lying senseless on the
ground. He was taken to his home,
and Dr.. Ayres, the nearest physician,
was summoned He pronounced the
case hopeless, saying that even II the
boy did recover, he would be a raving
maniac The boy fingered until this
mornlng about 3 o clock, when he died.
The lightning struck West, tearing his
clothes to tatters. ] he shoe on his
right foot was torn off and carried away,
and has not yet been found. The LETT
shoe was ripped from top to bottom. as
though by sharp knife. Bartro was
knocked senseless A Telegram re-
porter saw the young man as he lay at
the house OF James Aunett, who owns
the ground where the lightning played
its strange ana fatal freaks. He was
very weak, but there were no marks on
his person. Dir. Ayres says he will
recover
STRANGE FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.
Mrs. Susan Berdett was ironing some
clothes on "A table near window in the
Point Bluff House, near by. A Hash Of
lightning tore the fiatlron from her hand
and laid her senseless on the Hoor. The
iron was afterward found under bed
in an adjoining room, the door com
municating with which was open. Mrs.
Berdett was not seriously injured.
Charles Evans was at work splitting
wood with a hatchet in an outhonse
fifty feet away. The lightning wrench
ed the hatchet from his hand and hurled
it two hundred feet away. The man
was uniniured.
Peter 4 Bramer was standing under the
piazza of the Point Bluff House. He
was knocked down by the shock, but
was not badly hurt.
Thomas Towns. who lives on the Fort
Lee grounds. was knocked down. His
coat was torn from his back. and his
pantaloons ripped from top to bottom.
He was not iniured.
About fifteen large trees were struck
in the neighborhood and splintered.
The high wind blew the steamboat
Fort Lee out of her course while she
was making her 2 o'clock trip. She
collided with the howsprit of schooner
lying at anchor, and her deck was swept
clean. Several ladies' tainted, but no
one was seriously injured
