not know whether he was working for the
city or not Kane paid him for the work.
he was paid at the rate of $3.50 per day.
Witness objected, because other men were
receiving 81 for the same service. The
witness never came to the City Clerk s
office fo1 his pay. The last day he worked
was the Gath of November.
Mr.. Warren objected to this testimony,
as he did not think it was at all pertinent
to the matter under investigation.
It was stated that the prosecution ex-
pected to prove that Flannigan's name was
on the pay roll and on that account the
testimony would prove material.
Mr. Warren denied that such name was
on the pay roll.
The examination of this witness was con-
tinued without eliciting any further infor-
nation except that Warren and Kane were
the two bosses of the job, which was
digging trench for some kind of a pine.
but whether it was gas or water, witness
did not know.
When witness objected to the price paid
him, Kane said he would put him under
Warren, at a different place, on the same
kind sf work, at an increased price. War
rem did not put him to work, as 1t was
elaimed the season was too far advanced.

Willis Cass, son of a wealthy citizen
of Mansfield, Pa, was married Christ
mas day to Mertie Cleveland, and a
few days since, while on a visit to the
brides father, near Wellsboro, sad
accident put an end to their honey
moon. A chicken was to be killed for
dinner. Mr.. Cleveland took down his
rife to shoot one, and young Cass ask
ed his father-in-law to let him do the
shooting. He took the gun and went
out into the yard. His bride stood
at the window looking at him. "Shoot
the big one, Will" she shouted to him
as the chickens were huddled togeth-
er. Cass laid the gun down and toss
ed stone among them to scatter them.
He then picked up the rifle by the
muzzle and drew it toward him. The
motion knocked the hammer down on
the cap, and the gun was discharged,
the ball crashing through the bride
grooms head, killing him almost in
stantly. He was 81 years old.

Letter from California.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. IA, 80.


It has occurred to me that among
the many readers of your interesting
paper there may be some who would
be pleased to see an occasional letter
from California, particularly when
written by native Of old Newtown
and although writing for papers is not
in my line, yet the prominence you
accorded nv first communication, has
emboldened me to try it again.
l see by the papers that you are
having some very cold weather and
heavy SHOWS in Virginia. The San
Franciscans are also complaining Of
the cold weather this winter, but as l
spent last winter in Maryland and
Virginia, l can truthfully assure you
that the people here have no cause to
complain, for not one particle of snow
or ice have been seen here, and the
green grass and blooming flowers make
it appear more like spring than win
ter. The hills around the city are
also covered with beautiful wild flow
ers. Besides, the markets are album
dainty supplied with spring lamb
green peas, new potatoes, tomatoes
cucumbers, etc.
The Chinese New Year begins mex

count of our visit.

LEGISLATIVE. On the 28th ultimc
the Senate passed the House bill pro-
viding for the establishment of a col
ored normal school for the education
of colored teachers. One hundred
thousand dollars were appropriated
to carry out the provisions of the bill,
which now goes to the Governor for
his approval.
The House passed d bill fully COW
ering the question of local option, but
the friends of the measure anticipate
trouble in getting the bill through
the Senate.

After good deal of deliberation
the law inficting capital punishment
was repealed in Wisconsin. After a
great deal more of elaboration, fol-
lowing several years experience, a bill
to restore the death penalty was re,
jected. Since then good many afro
cious crimes have been committed, and
in one case two men were murdered
and an entire county defed by two
desperadoes. The demand for death
penalty has led to the introduction OF
a measure to restore. the old law, or
rather to provide for death penalty
in certain cases, when a jury shall de-
eide as to its application.

Lighting Stables.

Very little though, is usually given 10 the
proper position Of windows in horse stables.
and yet a strong light which shines directly
into the faces Of horses has a tendency TO
weaken their sight A common poin; for a
window is in front Of horses and considerA-
bly, higher than their heads. Numerous in
stances can be had Of the injurious effects Of
such windows, among which Is that Of an
officer in the British army. who had pur-
chased horse from a gentleman whose sta
bic received all its light from windows ait
uated al the rear Of the stalls. The horse
Was sound, and the officer was perfectly sat
ished with his bargain but at the end Of
three months the animal became suddenly
"ground-shy." An examination Of her eyes
showed that they were directed upward, an
explanation Of which was held by the fact
that the windows Of her owner, stable we're
above the head Of the stall. A removal to
stable which admitted light on all sides,
removed this difficulty.
Another proof Of our assertions is given
in the case Of farmer who had some fine
horses which be kept 10 stable lighted only
BY a small window in one side The stable
was SO imperfectly lighted by this window
that the door was kept open nearly all tbs
time when work was being done. The con-
sequence was that nearly all Of his horse.
had eyes Of unequal strength; and two Of
them became blind on the side which wa,
toward the window.

How to Pack & Trunk.

Put books in the bottom, then boxes,
Undertaking, the dresses either in trays or
above other things. Have all shoes and
rubbers very clean, wrap in thin paper sepa-
raiely. then tie pairs together in firm paper
very closely. Put nice dresses and shawls
in fine towel, or keep in paste-board dress
boxes. Tack three or four broad tapes TO
the side Of your trunk or ,xay and tie across
the contents to keep them from tossing.
Fold everything very smoothly, and pack
singly, without erowding. filling the creyices
with stockings, towels. or work which may
be rolled tightly. Have all laces, ribbons
and ornaments in separate boxes, tied with
tape, which does not cut the boxes. Fill the
crowns Of bonnets and hats with tissue pa
per, or light articles, which keep them from
crushing, wrap the outside in a soft veil OF
plenty of thin paper, and pack closely round
to prevent shaking. Have all toilet articles
together. all fancy work. all writing materials
and the dress you will first need. so packed
as to come first at hand.-Wide drake.

This system is old and unreliable 10
