Just Deci.ion on a Techni can't,


CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 2.-Frank
Frayne was before the police court
this morning on a charge of man
slaughter for shooting Annie Won
Behren at the Coliseum, during a
performance of "Si Slocum," at the
Thanksgiving matinee. He appeared
quite calm at the beginning, but as
the testimony proceeded he was
restless and at times deeply affected.
The prosecution offered the testi-
mony of Sergeant Berrenger, who
saw the shot and who arrested
Frayne, and of Mr.. Beam, q member
of the company, who explained the
cause of the accident. He said the
thread of the screw that holds the
spring catch was worn or torn on.
and the screw was blown out OF the
gun: the catch losing its hold per-
mitted the gun barrel to drop,
and sent the bullet below its
aim. Mr.. Frayne's breast and
neck were burned and blackened
by the powder escaping at the
breech of the gun. The prosecution
here Tested and said the charge OF
manslaughter should be sustained

The SIN for 1882 will make It's fifteenth
annual revolution under the present manage
ment, shining as always, for all, big and

unhappy, Republican aud Democratic,

warmth is for the good, while Il pours hot

The Sun Of 1868 was a newspaper Of a new
kind II discarded many Of the forms and a
multitude of the superfluous words and
phrases Of ancient Journalism. 1tundertook
10 report in fresh, snccinct, unconventional
way all the news Of the world, omitting no
event Of human interest, and commenting
upon affairs with the fearessness of absolute
independence. The success of this expert
ment was the success Of The SIM. Itetfected
permanent change In the style of American
newspapers. Every important journal
established in this country In the dozen
years past has been modelled after The Sa,i.
Every important journal already existing has
been modified aud bettered by the force of
The Sttn'a example.
The San of 1882 will be the same outspoken,
truth-telling and interesting newspaper
By liberal use of the means which an
abundant prosperity affords, we shall make
It better than ever before. We shall print all
the news, putting 1t into readable shape, and
measuring its importance, not by the
traditional yardstick, but by It's real interest
to the people. Distance from Printing House
square Is not the first consideration with
The S'R. Whenever anything happens worth
reporting we get the particulars, whether ii
happens in Brooklyn or Bohhara.
In politics we have decided opinions; and
we are accustomed 10 express them IN
language that can be understood. We say
what We think about men and events. That
habit Is the only secret of Tie SUMS political
| course.
The Weekly iSu,, gathers into eight pages
the best matter of the seven daily issues. An
Agricultural Department of unequalled
