DEF ENDING THE MALLEYS.
Setting Up an Alibi for Walter EIalloy An
Blanche Douglass.

In the Mallcy case a number of wit
nesses were introduced to show that the
story told by Maggie Kane was true, and
that the party at the flying horses, in the
West Haven Grove, about 0 o'clock on
Friday evening, Aug. 5, consisted of Mrs.
Kane, her friend Schusler, John Haswell
and Miss Connor and not of Jennie Cra-
mer, Blanche Douglass, and one or both
Of the Malley boys, rs claimed by the
state. Maggie Kane, these witnesses
for the defense say, was the one
to make the exclamation, My
God, I'm paralyzed the similar
ity Of time regarding the ride of the Kano
party Oh the flying horses and the fact
that Mrs. Kane was dressed in the man
ner described by those who sought to iden-
tify Jennie Cramer, and that she has dark
eyes and hair, are urged to upset the
supposition that the Malleys and Blanche
Douglass were with Jennie at the shore so
near to the time of the taking of the fatal
dose Of arsenic. As matter of fact, Mrs.
Kane did not resemble in personal ap-
pearence tho murdered girl, and never
would have been taken for her by any one
acquainted with Jennie Cramer. She
promised to appear in court with the dress
and hat that she wore ON that Friday
night at West Haven. She was called
for when court opened, but did not re-
spond.
Thomas Degnan testified that he was
with Maggie Kane at the flying hcrses,
and that 1t was she who cried out, "My
God, I'm paralyzed"'
Adam Schnelser testified that ho met
Miss Kane on the night in question, and
told the story of the flying horses, pre-
cisely as Maggie Kane did, including her
paralyzed cry and her desire to get Off
when the horses were flying too rapidly.
He also cOrroborated Mr.. Degnai the pre-
vious witness.
John F. Hassler, 4 handsome young
fellow, was one of the Savin Rock
party who enjoyed the bright COM
panionship Of Maggie Kane on Fri
day, August ), when that mercurial dam
sci, arrayed in a white dress and light hat
and mits, skirted the edges of paralysis on
a dangerous flying horse. 1t appears that
john escorted Miss Nellie O'Conner on
that festive occasion, and together they
had truly royal time. He and Nellie
were the parties in the box when Maggie
Maggie ask them to stop the horses and
then say "My God, Pm paralyzed.''
(The respectabi!ity and evident truth
fulness afford a peculiar illustration Of the
folly of positive testimony, as the states
witnesses were equally respectable and
equally certain that it was Jennie Cramer
who rode the horse and made use of that
bit of expressive slang. Mr..
Jones led the witness over the same path
pursued by the previous witnesses, and he
told the story very clearly, in entire agree
ment with that told by the others.)

Cameron Makes Another Appointment
Which Pieases only the Staiwarts.
The news Of the appointment of George
X. WhitEer to be postmaster Of Read
ing, has created considerable excitement
among the local politicians. Among those
whose names were mentioned in cOnncc-
tion with the Office were George X. Whit
ner, George F. Orth, Richard McMicbael,
p. r. Stetson, Cyrus T. Fox, Chester N.
Farr and several others, all urged by Va
rious factions. A number of these de-
MED that they were aspirants, however.
Ever since the present incumbent, Major
George w. Grant, was found to be in de-
fault to the amount of several thousand dol
lars, which his bondsmen had to pay, there
has been an active contest for the office.
Mr.. Whitner had the backing of the en-
tire Berks delegation to the state conven
tiOn, yet the appointment was not made
until after the conventions the Regulars
and Independents. The Bcrks delegates
supported Cameron and the Independents
were kept away from Philadelphia as
much as possible. Wednesday J. Howard
Jacobs, esq, and Mr.. Whitner went to
Washington and returned home next day.
Mr.. Whitner's name was sent in and the
consequence is that quite a crop of Inde-
pendent Republicans have suddenly
sprung into existence, and the effect is
regarded as likely to be disastrous to the
Cameron faction in Berks county. Mr..
Whitner is about forty five years old, an
active politician and member Of the terra

CRUSHED IN A TUNNEL.
Two en- Killed and Another Seriously Hurt
by Fall of ROCK.

Two ~ en- Killed and Another Seriously Hurt
by n Fall of ROCK.
The new tunnel of the New York, On
tario and Western railroad, at Union Hill,
N. Y. was the scene of an accident by
which two men, JamesMulcair and BARLEY
Fox, lost their lives, while Charles Brown,
q fellOw-workman, escaped with serious
injuries. The men had barely commenced
to set drill in what is known as "the
western apartment of shaft 4" when a
huge mass of rock, weighing over twenty
tons, became detached and fell upon the
men. Tho noise made by the fall rock
was appalling.
The men at work on the eastern side of
the shaft were quickly on the spot, and at
once commenced to remove the fragments
of rock which covered their unfortunate
comrades. Tho means of the latter werc
too much for the feelings Of the rescuers,
and they were forced to turn away before
they had completed their task.
Mulcair was the first man reached, and
was found to have his hips and abdomen
crushed to jelly. He was placed on the
elevator, and after being hoisted to the
surface was taken to the Office of the con-
tractors, where he died in less than an
hour.
In the meantime Fox had been uncoy-
cred, the lower portions cf his body being
crushed in terrible manner. He was at
once placed in an ambulance and taken to
St. Mary's hospital, Hoboken, where he
died q few hours afterward.
Charles Brown was found underneath
two huge masses of rock, which were
weGged in such a manner as to prevent
their falling upon him. He was suffering
from 4 compOund fracture of the ripht
leg, his left leg being also broken below
the knee. He was taken to his home.
Both the men killed were unmarried
They had only worked one day in the shaft
where they met their death. Mulcair was
the only support of his stepmother and a
family of four small children.

The Philadelphia Press loudly calls for
a new convention to settle the dispute in
the rival Republican camps. The Times
is Of opinion that though Arthur is not
statesman he is yet politician, and at
any rate is not fool and that as he is
Cameron's boss he will make him fix up
the split in the best way he can. All of
which no doubt is plausible. But with
the very Lest wish in the world on the
administration side to get out of the
scrape it is in, there does not seem to
be any way of doing so short of COM
plete ablication. Considering the fact
that Il conference was had between
the Regular and Independent commit
tees before the meeting of the Regular
convention, in which the Regulars said
yes to all the independents propositions
and carried out their agreement in the
subsequent convention, against the reg
ularity and authority of which the In
dependents made 10 exception, there
seems to be no excuse whatever for
another conference and another conven-
ton. The whole. substance of the issue
is as to whether or no the Stalwlrts shall
rule the roast. The Independents de-
mand that they shall commit hari
and anybody who thinks that Arthur,
Cameron and company love their party
better than themselves will lie ready
to believe that they will do it, and may
expect them to surrender the political
fruit they have taken.

they should show signs of doing SO, the

The Coming Convention.

The promising prospect for the Dem

the nominations to be eagerly sought,
and the convention will have more than
its usual trouble in wisely delivering It.
self of ticket. There is no disputing
the fact that Democratic politicians are
ravenously hungry after their long period
of fasting, and the aspect of the table
invitingly spread before them will cause
bigger scramble about the board than
ever has been witnessed even over the
croquettes and chicken salad and terra
pin boned turkey at frst-class evening
party. 1t cannot he helped, for it is in
the nature of things that inviting viands
are disturbing element to big crowd.
And a Democratic convention is nat
urally turbulent. 1t will have no bosses,
and is opposed to having things fixed for
it. This very commendable indepen
dence has it's draw backs 4; and it must
he conceded that a very great one is the
strong probability that in the multiple
city of counsels poor candidates will be
finally evolved. This has been an expe-
rience of Democratic conventions. They
certainly are not noted for nominating
the best men. Too much sclf-seeking is
tolerated. Ii the delegates would deter.
mine to nominate no one who asked
for il nomination, they might do
injustice to some very worthy
men who have been themselves seduced,
by the general practice of asking for
nominations, to make a personal can
vass; but they would establish very
excellent rule which would work great
good both now and hereafter. 1t is a
fact, which does not seem to be- Sulli-
ciently kept in mind, that Offices are
trusts which are to be bestowed not rs
personal tayorS nor a; rewards, but
which ought to be given to those most
fit to administer hem and that the
citizens duty in general neither permits
him to refuse to accept them nor
prompts hiin tn seek them. Abstractly
that staten nt is true and conventions
woull save themselves i good deal of
trouble and secure much better results
to their labors if they could ma!ase to
give it some practical effect.
But we do not expect the coming
Democratic convention to trouble itself
to look up candidates who do not present
themselves to il. There will he too many
ready to relieve them Of that care and
the delegates will find their hands full in
disposing of the candidates on hand.
Under the circumstances we have the
consolation Of knowing that there will
not lie very great opportunity to go
as!ray in the nominations for the chief
Offices, as only very respectable names 80
far have been suggested for them.

ANOTHER M1N1gG SUIT DECIDED
Important to Ulaim Owners.

-
Judge Uallctt recently decided
a case in the United States Dis
trict Court in regard to the forfeit
uro ofrisht on claims, which will be
ofintorcst to all mine owners.
This was one Of the numerous
actions which have been brought
by original locators against men
who have assumed possession Of
mining properties, in case where
the assessment work has been per
formed according to law.
The Edgar claim was located in
Spanish Bar Mining district, Clear
Creek County, in September 1860,
by John Edgar. IL. Coleman and
Z. +. Smith. The property was
acquired by EDGAR company, Of
Louisville, from Alfred Bateman
in May, 1871. The company has
for nca. y ten years held possession,
expanding many thousands Of dol
lars for development.
