that had been piled up against him. First, 1t
was charged that he made q false a1ldavIt.
The testimony showed that II was made by
Miner, and that Mr.. Dorsey knew nothing
about 1t, and upon that written lie had this
mans reputation been branded all over the
United States. The petitions had been alleged
10 be false, and the Government proved them
10 be true.
on route dO,115 It was charged that s.
W. Dorsey made false oath and transmitted
It. the evidence was that the oath was true,
mnde by Peck and transmitted. on route
3S,1I2 were the charges that had carried sor-
row TO many hearts and darkness TO many
homes, and they were
A DamnabIe Lie.
II was charged that no fraudulently fled n
subcontract. When the fact was that Sander
son had the route.
The counsel took up the other routes and
went through them In the same thorough
manner, and showed, In every instance, that
the proof failed to substantlate the charge.
He had been called n robber and a thief, but
the evidence showed that
n. w. Dorsey Was An Honest Man.
There had not been u solitary fraudulent act
against s. W. Dorsey. They could not ilnd
one and all he asked OF the Jury was to ind u
verdict In accordance with tho testimony.
AZ this point the court adjourned for the
day.

that a famine prevails in Carrick,

gested districts by purchasing for the
people vast tracts of grazing land In
Ireland which were peopled before tne
famine. There was no reason, he said'
why they should not be Peopled again.

n Novel Engine.

A novel steam engine has recently
been exhibited, which has been pro-
nounced even by practical engineers
as d species of mechanical paradox.
With but one crank, with two oylin-
ders cast in one piece, .ouly one valve
chest, and the entire engine as simple
and few in parts as the simplest of
ordinary single cylinder-engines, it
has no dead centres, but will start
forward from any possible position in
whio 1t may bs placed:
Fur her it it stopped, started and
changed from either double or com
pound engine, as may be desired, by
the motion of a single lever, and the
change to either form may be made
while running at any speed, just as
easy as when it is still.
The engineer can run 1t with either
one cylinder as q single engine or with
both cylinders using live steam as a
double engine, of with one cylinder
using live steam and the ether running
by the expansion as compound en-
gine either way as economically az
any engine especially built for that paI
ticulaH way.

For the Republican.

For the Republican.
Your contemporary paper, the Morn
ing News, seems much exercised over
the Harrigan business, and keeps
pushing, even into political promi-
nence, what all good men would gladly
see sunk out of sight in that connection
at least even if 1t ever was there.
The last diatribe and instructions 70
Governor Hall as to his duties in the
premises, would not be inappropriate
if the granting of constitutional power
in such cases was up for discussion;
but since high Executive Officers are
generally endowed with such powers or
prsrogatives, and the same have been
and are continually being exercised
one might think that the merits OF the
case would be more fitting for argu-
ment than such learned and labOred
efforts to prove the Court and its Off
GERS only responsible. That is all very
pretty, but our friend of the News"
will have TO try again, many times,
before they succeed in showing courts
to be intalliEle-betore they prove that
iuries have never given An i'll consider
cd verdict; that criminal law practice
is often a game of shsrps between
the professional pride and skill Of the
prosecuting officer and the Attorneys
for the defence.
II it was true, as averred, that, on
the trial of Harrlgan, witnesses sworn
to tell the truth, and the whole truth,
were allowed to tell but a part Of it.
If it was fact that some of the Judges
admitted "had criminal intimacy been
shown, no jury in the State would
have brought in q verdict Of "murdel
in the first degree" if the sworn tes-
timuny of witnesses TO such criminal
intimacy corrOboratsd in many ways
together with evidence of the continu
ally excited condition of the homiCidet
mind, on account of it, is now in tht
hands Of the Governor, does it not give
sufficient cause, either with or wtthou
popular approval, for him to postpone
at least, the execution OF the death pen
atty Why harp, as the News
does, upon the improperly Of throwing
responsibility upon the next Governor,
when it is probable, as reported, thai
Governor Stockley has been consulted
and is willing to receiveit.
This Harrigan case was singular
one and appears to have deceived, Al
first, some OF those officially connected
with it. They are deceived no longer
aud 1t is to be- hoped the Morning
News" may recover from its ChAgriu
in finding that others understand it as
well or better than they do.

DnnrOPOuu RImK,

Mary Hackett, aged years, and a
resident of JeSsup's Banks, had one Of
her fingers severely burned yesterday in
peculiar manner. A few days ago
she purchased a penny ring, from a
toy store, whicL is known to the chill
dren as n "suake riTg," 1t being the
image of a snake and Of a greenish
color. The ring was placed on her
finger and worn with childish glee, but
as the little girl attempted to light .
fire yesterday, the ring drew the fire
like magnet and when the fire
touched 1t, the ring snapped like 10Y
pistol and commenced to blaze burning
her finger Eeverely before the fire could
be extinguisned. The circlet was also
drawn tight around her finger and had
to bs cut off by the child 3 mother. What
the rings are made OF TO cause such an
accident is not known but that they
are dangerous is au established fact
and parents should be careful how they
purchase such toys.

A sensation has been created 10 En-
gland by the going over to the Church
Of Rome of Sir Tatton Sykes and his
family.
Lady Sykes is a daughter Of Mr..
George CayeDdish. Beutinck. Sir Tat
ton is enormously rich having rent
roll in the East Eiding of Yorkshire

Tic three properties OF Lord Herries,

mrs. Bloomfield II. Muole, of Phila-
delphia, who Is now in Europe, was re-
Gently, while travelling in Italy, robbed
Of turs and clothing valued az over 50, :
900. Mrs. Moore discovered her loss
on opening her trunks on her arrival at
Fl-snce. and consulted the American
Consul thers as to what she should do
in the matter, That official advised
her to engage the services of a lawyer
to help recover the stolen articles or the
value of them from the railroad on
which the robbery was supposed to
have taken place, bat friends advised
guided by the advice of the latter.
In an interview with the Consul
Mrs. Moore told him that she had been
advised by her banker, her friends and
her hotel proprietor, to have nothing to
do with lawyer, but to ask the Con
sui himself to 90 with her to the rail-
road office to ask that the robbery be
Investigated. At this the Consul WAS
greatly incensed, and told her that II
she considered the advice of her bauk-
or, hotel keeper and influential Italian
aCQuaintances of mers value than his
he would advise her by all means to
follow it. In a letter home Mrs. Moore
says:
"This impertinenee irritated me more
than my loss, for l was quite Unpre'
pared for such an experience. drove
at once to the palace of my friend the
Marquis de Serramezzana, aud he gave
me the assistance l needed, aud his
sympathy and playing awhile with his
beautiful children diverted my mind, |"
Although active measures were taken
to discover the thieves, no trace Of
them OF of their booty had been found
up to the latest adviCeB received by

Among the others are James T. Rich
ardson and e1-City Treasurer John

there is a movement on foot to separate
the farm from the Almshouse, and thus
create another office, that of superin-

lively known whether this program
will be- carried out or not, but II 1t
should the trustees will certainly select
a farmer tor the last named position.
The fact Of the matter is, that the farm
should be 20 conducted that 1t would
bear the greater part Of the expense Of
feeding the inmates of the building. If
we cannot have house Of Correction,
let the able bodied tramps and vagrauts
