THE MALLEY CASE.

New HAVEN, June 16.-Miss Katie NAL
lev finished her evidence in the James
MalIey alibi on Wednesday. 1t differed
somewhat from both her own version at
West Haven and that of her handsome
and trim sisters; but the cross examination
elected no specially damaging contradic-
ton. With her testimony, according to
Lawyer Case, the James Malley alibi testi-
mony closed and the defense proceeded to
show by Surveyor Peck that the condition
of the tide and the prevailing current and
wind the night of last August were ia
vorable to the drifting of Jennie Cramer's
body from landing at Kelsey's wharf to
the place where it was found. To show
that Jennie's body would have drifted
from Kelseys wharf to where it was found
the witness tried floats made of rope and
laden with stones. The defense with
this testimony tried to make connected
story to account for Jennie Cra-
mers death and still preserve the alibi
atrumpet who helped them to lure Jennie
Cramer to her death. They find Jennie
going toward the cars Thursday about
noon, place her on the cars, and take her
to West Haven. Then they put Blanche
in her bath-tub and at her dressmake. 8
during the afternoon, and have James in
the Malley store. No one. sees Jennie Cra
mer return from the West Haven shore,
they say, and several people see her at the
shore Just at dusk, but those who thus see
her are not acquainted with her, and judge
that it was her only by her picture. Then
the defense says that she went out on
Kelsey wharf and fell overheard or was
sucked overheard at the precise spot
which fits their theory. There are sand
hars bare at low tide Had she struck
on one of these it would have accounted
for the bruises on her forehead, the
cut on her lip. and the injury to her
nose. She stifled, say the defense, and
irving to draw her breath she drew the
there. When the tide reached her she was
dead. and hence No water was drawn in
to her lungs or stomach The defense is
now apparently trying to show that she
wandered away from Savin Rock and
picked berries for supper Thursday night,
and then. in despair at her. frlendless and
homeless condition, suicided. No other
points were covered at the days hearing,
except an admission by surveyor Peck that

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY. = The
Rev. I. G. Mclaughlin, Of Mecklen-
burg County, N. c., has suffered sore
bereavement by deaths in his family
since last fall, first by the death Of a
SOD on the 10th of October, and a
month later the death of two sons and
Mrs. Mclaughlin, all of which occur
red about the same time; and on the
30th of last month by the death Of
his daughter, Leslie, while the father
himself has been lying very low. The
disease which has proved so fatal in
this family was typhoid fever, aud
since the last death occurred Mr.. Nc
I4aughliD has been removed to the
residence of his sou, with hope that
the change of location may prove ben
e6cial to him.

Il NAV be interesting to American

It may be interesting to American
readers to know the relative proportions
of the Christian denominations in this
country. The Methodists lead, with
22,5S2 ministers and 3,574.585 mem
bers. The Baptists follow, with 49,
3Sl ministers and 2,452,S7s mem
bers. The Presbyterians, of 81 bodies,
have $3.50 ministers and l,l73,765
members. The Lutherans are next,
With 1882 ministers and 95O,S6S
members. The Disciples have 1882
ministers and 50l,S21 members. The
Congregationslists are sixth, With 1904
ministers and 304 $50 members The
Episcopalians, including the Reformed
Episcopal Church, take the seventh
place, With 1852 ministers and 347,-
7sl members the United Brethren
rank next. With 2,l96 ministers and

The legislature.

Adjourned the 9th inst. There
was large number Of laws enacted,
most of them, however, being OF a
local or private nature. The two
most important measures were the
Stock Law and the Election Law.
The Legislature has been subjected
to abuse and criticism beyond any
of it's predecessors. One class OF
critics have charged it with being
regardless of the interests and the
wishes of "the people" =; another
class has charged the members with
being afraid Of their own shadows
and in terror all the time lest they
would displease 'the people and
injure their chances Of reelection.
We are glad to be able to say that
neither of these classes OF critics
has been numerous. The newspa'
pers as a rule while expressing their
opinions on the various matters un-
dergoing legislation have at the
same time given the Legislators
credit for doing their duty as they
understood it. Fair and free critl'
cism has been general; the indis'
criminate abuse has been the rare
exception. And now looking back
over the work of the session the
only feature that We feel disposed
to censure is that provision in the
Election Bill giving to the Supervl,
sor authority, upon his own discre'
tion, to add names to the reglstra'
ton list. A matter of so much mo-
ment should not be left to the dis
cretion, which often means the pre-
JUDGE, of any one man. The pro
vision in regard to adding names
should have been compulsory, upon
a proper showing, or not at all.
Among the Acts passed OF a local
nature that pertain to this County
are the following:
Act to charter the Future Pro
gress Society Of Newbery County
Act to incorporate the Ebenezer
Camp Ground Church.
Act to prohibit the sale of liquors
in the Town of Prosperity.
Act to recharter Chappell's Ferry
on Salnda River.
Act to charter McNair's Ferry on
Broad River.
Act to charter the Newberry q
Atlantic Rail Road.

WANT OF PUNcTUALITY.-It is as
tonisbing how many people there are
Who neglect punctuality. Thousands
have failed in life FROM this cause
alone. It is not only a serious ofense
in itself but it is the fruitful parent of
numerous vices, so that he who be-.
comes the victim Of it gets involved
in the coils from which it is impossi-
Bile to escape. It makes the mer.
chant wastefuI Of time, it ssps the
business, the hopes, and reputation
of the lawyer, and it injures the
prospect of the mechanic. In a word,
there is no profession, nor station in
life, which is not liable to the canker
of the habit. Many and many time
has the failure of one man to meet his
obligations brought on the ruin Of a
score of others. Thousands remain
poor all their lives, who, if they were
more faithful to their word, would
secure large run of custom, and
make their fortunes. Be punctual It
you would succeed.

WoRsHIPING BY TELEPHONE -
A novel plan has been introduced at
the Pilgrim Congregational Church ID
St. Louis BY which invalids who can
not attend the services are enabled to
hear all that goes on in the sacred edl-
fee during its religious service. This
is accomplished by means Of a tele-
phone connection between tie sick
room and the church. The micro
phone or sounding box is placed just
beneath the top Of the reading desk
or pulpit, SO that all the minister says
viii be conveyed to the listener in the
sick room. The instrument is also
close enough to the choir and organ,
and IN such position that the sacred
rendition and the congregational sing
ing can be heard with 6oe effect. One
invalid lady, who lives four blocks
away, regularly enjoys the servise by
telephone, and it is said hears the ser
mon and the singing almost as well as
If she were present.

CoNcIsELY STATED.-The talk of
an 'indepndent third party is none
sense. If such a party should Or
gauize aud keep itself free Of Radl-
caIism, it could only be stroug enough
to allow Radicalism to triumph. If
it is combined with the Radicals they
would inevitably control it, for they
Hoaad constitute eigh.-tenths of its
membership. 4 very simple process
of logic and mathematics proves be-
voud shadow of doubt that the Rad
icals must control South Carc!iua
whenever tue Straight Democratic
party ceases to do so.

result of the folly and ambition Of
