 Davidge ito Witness): You said he stated you would see his name in the papers in connection with Paris consulship.
 Prisoner: never said that.
 Dayidge: Well, he says Mir. Prisoner, you did say it.
 The prisoner in apeTseyering manner declared he had not said so. He also indignantly contra dieted the statement that he (witnessl had not admitted him to the bar in Chicago. He did not want any trickery about this case.
 The court, impatient al the plisoner's constant interruption Of counsel and witness, in q stern and determined tone said: If there is no other way of preventing these interruptions you will have to be gagged.
 Well" began the prisoner.
 Keep your mouth shut" thundered the judge, "and don't interrupt again during this trial. do not desire it. but 1.-the trial cannot go without a resort to gaggng 1t will have to be done
 Even this threat, though it had momentary effect on the prisoner, could not entirely repress him, and he again denied the conversation de tailed by the witness who twas a very good fel- low, but wrong there. l am going to have facts in this case, he continued. "and

NOTHING BUT FACTS.

I want the judge and jury to decide upon facts, and upon nothing else. The witness is entireiy erroneous in his memory"

 The prisoner dnterruptinR): It is absolutely false 1 never said any such thing. That has nothing at ali to do with my intending to remove the president I rest my defense entirely upon the inspiration which came from the Deity for that act and will take my chances on the re suit. l do not want any lying or nonsense on this business and will not have it.
 Dayidge to witne ssl: Go on.
 The Witness; He said in connection with the administration, if he did not get the Paris cousu late he would either make fuss about it or would do something about 1t in the newspapers.
 Prisoner l never said anything of the kind and never thought anything of the kind. That is the result of your own imagination. Mir. Reed. It is not true. You are good fellow, and think good deal of you, but you are

two hundred strangers here at this writing,
hence business has increased in a correspon
ding degree.
Among the improvements in the town may
be noted the new canning factory erected by
Messrs. Bale & Stouffer, their business hav-
ing so increased as to demand this addition.
They are giving employment to over hun
dred hands, and are therefore great blessing
to the laboring community. Messrs. Bale y
Stouffer have made no boisterous pretentions
in regard to the extent of their business, but
by comparing figures, they have been per-
ceptibly ahead of any factory in the country.
They talk very little but do their work well.
Quite an addition has been made to the
New Windsor machine shops. Two large
buildings have been added, and the manage
ment is now under the control of Messrs.
Peter Engel, Chas Myers and Samuel Smith
They give employment to about twenty hands
Messrs. Smelser and Engle doing business
at the Depot, are very busy, and under their
management their business Is greatly IN
creasing. Altogether the business interests
of New Windsor are looking up, and the en-
terprising men mean to improve the town;
and enhance the interests of the entire neigh
borhood.

Rev. W. Byrne, president of Mount ST
Mary's College, Emmittsburg, reports that
the financial troubles of the institution are
now definitely settled. \ basis Of com
promise With the creditors has been reached,
which. although involving serious loss to
them, is vet far more beneficial than sale OF
the college could be. II will leave the col
lege buildings intact, and reserve sufficient
lands for recreation grounds, farming and
gardening purposes. The debt TO be carried
Is estimated at about SIS, 900, which can be
borrowed on mortgage at per ceHt per an
nun. Indications point to a large and increas-
ing school in the future. The members OF
the faculty have brayely stood By the college
and the alumni have responded Literally to
the appeal for their aid. The total debt, IN
Guiding mortgage, has been reduced BY sale
of property and voluntary abatement Of claims
by creditors 10 about $50, 500. Dedueuug
mortgage Of SIS, 900 to be carried, the debt
to be paid in full is sol, 800. This sum, u Is
stated, can certainly be raised by contriba.
tions OF from 81 ,00o,to $50 each among the
alumni and friends OF the college. The sum
Of S42, 200 has already been subscribed, leay.
ing la, 500 10 be raised. and more than hall

On Sunday last, on the farm of Mr.. Austin
Arlington, near Henryton, this county, WhIle
a party of children we're playing IN large
wagon that was left standing on hlilside,
one of them loosened the brake, starting the
wagon down the hill at great speed. Two Of
the children were thrown under the wheel;
one, a daughter of Mr.. Arlington, aged eight
wears, was injured internally by the wheels
passing over her stomach; the other, grand
daughter, aged three years, had her skull
fractured and was otherwise injured. Dr.
Chas. c. Moorehead was quickly summoned >
and all that medical skill could do, was done
to relieve the little sufferers. Their llves
were at first despaireG OF, but 1t is now thought
they will recover.
Messrs. ]. Oliver Wadlow, r. j. Baker and

We are carefully preparing a chapter on
the public roads, with suggestions by praetl-
cal people; also some hints on bridge build
ing. We passed over bridge on the west
Minister road twice in one week, on which
were several loose boards. Instead OF nail-
ing them, three huge stones were placed on
the bridge to keep the boards down. 1t took
dexterons handling of the ribbons to steer
clear of them.

The mayor and council have enacted an or
dinance requiring the grading and paving OF
the sidewalks. This is certainly an evidence
of progress and it is hoped that property own
ers will cheerfully comply with the require
ments of the ordinance, and thus improve the
appearance Of the town and convenience OF
the citizens.
We feel almost constrained to boast of the
moral condition of our town, and IN support
of the assertion say that our lookup has been
nnoceapied so long that yellowjaekets took
possession of the building, bulk large nest
near the door, and would no doubt have been
permitted to still enjoy possession If they had
not interfered with persons In pursuit ei their

A St. Louis letter to the New York
World says "a suit for $4,000 dam-
ages fled Friday drags into notoriety the
Hazcltines and Paramores, families Of high
social standing The suit is brought by
Johu Amweg, a singer in the Ford Opera
Company, performing at Uhrig's Cave,
the fashionable summer night resort.
Amweg's story is that being smiled upon
from the parquette by Miss Nellie dazsl-
tine, known at home and abroad as the
belle of St. Louis, and whose name was
linked with Samuel j. Tilden'S three or
four years ago, he entered upon filtration.
He visited Miss Hazeltine at her aristo-
cratic home, received notes and photo
graphs, and then, by his own story, boasted
of the conquest Early this week Miss
Hazoltine and her mother started for
White Sulphur Springs, Amwegs stcry
reached the ears of Will Hazetine,
brother, aud Fred Paramore, the suitor Of
the bellh. They corraled (to use western
ism the opera singer in an upper chau-
Der, beat him badly with fists, canes and
whips. and forced from him an orler on
his landlady for the notes aud pictures,
and then turned him loose, all Of which
indignities he makes public and asks dam
ages. The young men are out in cards
admitting the whipping, but declaring that
Amweg's Irritation was not with the belle,
but with pretty servant girl in the fami-
" named Nellie, who has had the last Of
the controversy by declaring she never saw
Amweg. The opera singer is of Il good
Philadelphia family, he claims, his father
being a lawyer and his brother inspector
of bridges on the Pennsylvania road.
Paramore is a son Of the president Of the
Texas aud St. Louis railroad, and is to
receive 100000 from his father upon his
marriage to Miss Hazeltne.
