until removed by the slow processes OF
evaporation and absorption. The gener-
al opinion expressed, that crops can be
planted after the floods disappear, is
based on the experience of former years.
The June rise in other years overlooked
the plantations for only few days, and
left the ground sufficiently firm to allow
the pillow to follow the receding waters;
but after the land has been saturated by
the present floods, the June rise and
spring rains will leave it in an unpromis-
ing condition for cropping during the
present season.
There is no reason to doubt at the pres
ent writing-however unpleasant the re-
Election may be-that the great majority
of the people now living in the over
flowed districts will be fit and worthy
subjects for the bounty of the govern
ment until they can realize On the crops

accused was publicl official or private cltl-
zen, while in the present time and under our
laws, 1t was invoked simply for the punish
ment of public officials, FOR offenses, misbe-
hayior, ETC., in his public capacity. Convic-
ton under impeachment in this country does
not impose a fine. does not confine the con-
victed party, but simply removes him from q
public station, and in aggravated cases says
he shall not be eligible to that or other public
position.
Mr.. Gould then called attention to the
offenses for which an official can be removed
from Office, which can be summed up In the
statement that an officer being a servant OF
the people, an offense calculated
to degrade that Office is Improbable. Allud-

Tense, was of little moment, though his opin-
ion was that the authorities were decidedly In
favor of the latter proposition. But which
ever was right, the duties to be performed
were the same, The charges were that re-
spondent had been so affected by the use OF
liquor as to unfit him for the discharge of his
duties, and, also, that he was an habitual
drunkard. The question for the court or sem

whether he was fit to longer hold The. office he
had disgraced. Such acts certainly constituted

ENGLISH JUSTICE.

The COncicticn Of Dr.. Larson In london .
The trial of DR.. Lawson was brought to a
conclusion at London, England, on the 14th
inst, resulting in verdict of guilty and sen
tsnce to death. The jury we're out only one-balf
hour. Counsel for the defense in his argu-
ment pointed out it had been proved that
Percy John had suffered from neuralgia and
rheumatism for which aconitie is remedy.
There was missing link, he said in the case
of the prosecution, namely: 1t was not
proved the quinine powders containing aeon
given by the prisoner, while there was no
doubt he supplied him with other
innoxious ones which were found. The
peroration was very pathetic. Counsel referred
to the miserable future of the life of the pris-
oners wife if he was convicted, and appealed
to the jury to judge as they would be judged.
The solicitor general, replying on behalf of
the prosecution, said he thought the jury
might at once dismiss the idea that the death
of John was due to natural causes. He argued
that, though it was difficult 10 advance pre-
cedents concerning aeonitine poisoning, the
result of the analysis was decisive as TO the
existence OF acOnitine in the viscera of de.
ceased, which could only have been supplied
by the prisoner. Justice Hawkins then
summed mp. He said the prisoner was en-
titled to the benefit of any doubt. The charge,
although disclaiming any intention of antic-
pating the decision of the jury, seems to be
against the prisoner. He mentioned the lat
ter's anxiety to leave the house five min
utes after he had administered what the
prosecution alleged as a poisoned capsule
| to deceased. Al conclusion of Justice Haw-
kins' charge the jury retired, They returned
a verdict of guilty and the prisoner was sen-
fenced.
Several .iurynien were crying when they re-
entered the couft room anu Others were
CHASTITY pale. When the verdict was pro-
nounced DR.. Lawson clasDed his hands
together and seemed for moment i'll despair,
but he quickly recovered his self. possession
and folding his arms, in cleaI voice aud with
eyes upturned, slowly and deliberately said:
81 protest my innocence before God" When
Justice Hlwkins had concluded passing SEN
tence, DR.. lawson, half throwing himself
back into the arms OF the wardens, was almost
lifted from the dock He was removed to-
night to Wadsv orth jail, where he will remain
until the day OF execution.
The execution of DR.. Lamson is fixed for
April 4. The doctor is suspected of being
guilty of other serious crimes.
LONDON, March 16.-Friends OF DR.. Lam
son have instructed his solicitor to prepare a
memorial praying for respite on the ground
that the evidence regarding aconotine was in

oner was in the habit of prescribing aconotjDe

For the Proeecution.

Coming to order after a recess of five mis-
utes, Manager Dunn said he thought the clos
ing argument for the prosecution could be
ment, Manager Gould speaking as to the law
and himself as to the facts. With this ar
rangement Manager Gould could conclude by

clude by tomorrow evening, and the case
would be concluded this week.

tested that the proposition was in violation of
the understanding and would do an injustice
to respondent.

spondent had been given all the time asked,

would be done By allowing Mr. Gould to di-

TARDY AID FOR THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY.

The prospect that Congress will, at an
early day, appropriate six million dollars,
to be expended in improving the naviga-
ton of the Mississippi river and in con-
structing and repairing the levees for the
protection of the Lower Valley from over
fowls no doubt due to the terrible con-
sequences that have resulted to life and
property south of Memphis from the
studied indifference of that body to the
rights and necessities of that section of
the Valley. 1t is tardy but ample
recognition of the fact, that there are
interests and political forces existing in
the great empire between the head waters
of the Mississippi at st. Paul and the ba-
llze, that are too vast and potent in their
bearing on the industrial, commercial
and political interests of the nation, to be
longer neglected with impunity. The
loss entailed directly on the people living
in the valley South of the Ohio, and in
directly on the business interests of the
country by the floods that have carried
death and destruction frem Memphis to
New Orleans, would have constructed
levees on the Mississippi and It's tributa-
ries of character that would
have given security to life
and property from Cairo to New Orleans
and converted the Louisiana delta, now
covered with one vast sheet of water, into
veritable garden of Eden-a land flow
ing with milk and honey. No other spot
on earth possesses such soil, climate,
and natural advantages; and no govern
ment ever exhibited so much indifference
TO its own interests, as ours has, in neg
Letting to extend protection to the COM
mercial and agricultural interests of that
ection of the Union.
When we call to memory the fact that
the high water season for the
lower valley commences the latter part of
May or the first of June-that the spring
rains and the ice and snow of the great
Northwest are yet to add their volume TO
the floods that now rest on the homes of
the people who live between Memphis
and New Or leans-some idea can be
formed of the character and extent of the
disaster that has overtaken the .inhabi-
tants of the flooded districts. After the
Mississippi has receded to its banks. the

4 SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
A Boy Has Both Legs Cut On-Deplorable
Condition of the Family.


Condition of the Family.
Yesterday morning an exceedingly unfortu-
nate accident happened to a boy about Is
years of age, named Thomas Mcclure. The
unfortunate youth has been at work for the
Manitoba road, but at the time of the acci
dent was not in the employ of the company.
The boy got aboard one OF the trains yesterday
morning that was going towards Minneapo-
lis, and when the train had reached Rice street
young Mcclure climbed over the tender, or
attempted to, and in some way fell SO that the
wheels Of the cars passed over both his legs
below the knee, mangling them in such a
manner that both had to be amputated. The
operation was performed by DIR. Murphy, who
thinks there is no doubt the boy will live. The
boys mother owns little house on
Dayten's Bluff, back of the new school house,
and is very, very poor. It is reported that the
boy has supported, by his earnings, the fami-
~, consisting of his mother, himself and one
or two sisters 1t is difficult to see how the
family will live now that their support is cut
off. DR.. Murphy says the boy will have to be
taken care ofby the county for the present, as
his mothers little house is no suitable place
for him, the same consisting of bnt one room
and that not large one.
