IN Missouri q murderer under
sentence Of death has been granted
q new trial because his attorney
was SO entirely ignorant OF the
law and Of the rights of his client
that in point of fact he amounted
to no attorney at all. This is all
very we'll as far as it goes, but we
are left in painful ignorance con-
corning the disposition made OF
the attorney. Whether the Court,
in the exercise of its rights, dis.

not know, but, if such has been
the happy result, the Courts Of
other States might we'll allow the
practice to obtain, even to the ex'

MAKING 1T 0DIOUS.

The Enforcement of the New Penal Code
in New YOrk--Five Hundred Arrests
Made Yesterday for Desecratins the Sab
bath.
New YORK, Dec.-The new penal code
went into effect to-day. While the police
were unquestionably active during the day,
their efforts were not directed in such q
manner as to elicit praise from such rer-
sons as heartily support the provisions #
the new code. Many arrests were made >
but neither liquor selling nor drunkenness
appeared to decrease to any extent. Cigar
stores were generally closed,
and great many proprietors hung
ont placards ridiculing the new law. Much
of their business went to the drug stores.
The business of the BARRIERS was limited to
the hotels where customers uniformly
claimed they were guests. Eighteen of the
nineteen drivers sent out by the Adams
express during the morninc we're arrested.
The law has been enforced in such way
as to make it Odious with a view of secur-
ing its early repeal. About 500 arrests
were made on the charge of desecrating
the Sabbath. Comparatively few liquor
dealers were secured, milkmen, butchers,
bakers, grocers, newspaper vendors, bar
bers, rag pickers and Hebrew storekeepers
making up the number. A laborer en-
ployed by the steam heating company was
the first person arrested. In Brooklyn
even the drug stores were closed.

Bosrox, Dec. 8.-Fhe Advertiser will
print in tho morning letters from prom
insnt Republican senators and Democratic
and Republican Representatives relative to
their position on the tariff revision and
the action congress should take upon the
subject during tho short session. Senator
Sherman agrees it isvery important that
Republicans in the present congress
should do their utmost to secure at this
winters congress full revision of the tar
if with view of reducing taxation and
remove inequalities and imper-
fections Of the present law.
The proper policy it seems
to him for Republican senator's and mem
bers to adopt is to secure such reduction
of the intsrnal revenue as will limit this
form Of taxes to spirituous liquors, tobac-
COS and beer, and modify and reduce these
taxes so that in the aggregate they yield
about $l0O, ,OO0, 900 year.

THE OFFICERS OF THE PETERS.

THE OFFICERS OF THE PETERS.
The Peters was commanded by Capt.
Charles Smith, of Manistee, man aged
about forty years, and very careful and
competent man. He was unmarried, but
had relatives living at Manistee. The mate
was John Larsen, aged about forty-two
years, and one of the best known and we'll
liked steamboat men on the waters of Lake
Michigan. Good natured, affable and kind,
poor Larsen made friends of everyone
with whom he came in contact. The sor-
row for his untimely fate is universal in
marine circles. His home was in Milwau-
kee, where he leaves wife and sew
eral children. The first engineer
was George Mullin, resident
OF Manistee, where his parents reside. He
was single man, about twenty seven or
twenty eight years of age, and, like Lar
sen, was universal favorite with all who
knew him. Mullin seemed to have a pre-
monition that something would happen to
the Peters before she returned to Chicago.
as the night before she left for Manistee
he told marine reporter that he might
was going to happen to the Peters on the
trip. The poor fellows fears, alas, came
to pass. The second engineer was named
Finan. He was a resident of Manistee.
but formerly lived at Oak Greek, Wis. The
names of the balance of the crew are un-
known.
