Drunkenness NO Excuse for
Crime.

The New York Court Of Appeals
has recently passed upon the ques-
ton whether drunkenness can be
pleaded as a defense to a charge Of
murder. 1t was claimed by the coun-
sci for a condemned murderer that
his client was the victim of an appe-
tite for drink which amounted to q
disease that destroyed his will-power
and rendered him legally irresponsi-
BILE, as in the case of insanity. A
new trial was therefore asked, be-
cause the court below had refused to
charge the jury that the accused was
not responsible if the crime had been
committed when he was the victim
Of such disease or if committed while
he was drunk. The Court Of APP
peals refuses to recognize drunken
ness as any excuse for crime. 1t
holds that not even frenzy or mental
alienation caused by drink can ex-
empt person accused of murder
from criminal responsibility. If a
man voluntarily gets drunk and COM
mits crime while in that condition,
he must answer for the consequences
of his acts.

Very seldom do we read of an ac-
tual case Of recovery, where hope
had altogether been lost, to equal
that which was on Monday inyesti-
gated by a Dispatch reporter who
had heard, in various quarters, per-
sons talking to their friends Of a
cure, seemingly little short of mirac-
ulous, that had been performed. VIM.
Lincoln Curtz is the name of the
young man in question. He is now
employed at II. X. Porter q CO. 8
Locomotive Works, Pittsburgh. His
disease was Chronic Rheumatism.
The enormous swelling and pain in
the joints Of his arm soon produced
paralysis Of his left arm. He gradu-
ally grew worse, his ankles and knees
were soon even worse than his arms,
his cheek bones began to enlarge,
spreading his face out Of all resem-
blance to his former self. Two ply
sicians pronounced him hopeless.

now GARFHELD LOOKS.
Governor Sherman, of Iowa.
Visits the vault and Sees the
Late Presfdents's Face.

Prom the Cleveland Herald.
Governor Sherman, of Iowa, who is
visiting at Elmira, N. T., said to a
reporter there the other day: / saw
President Garfield a day or two ago
in Cleveland. You need not look
astonished--I really saw him--not
his spirit, but his own form and
features. / had visited his tomb to
do homage to the spot where the
martyr President was sleeping. The
Waterman in charge, on learning
whence / came and who l was, asked
me if would like to see the Presi-
dent. / was greatly surprised as
you can be. He simply showed me
lie was in earnest, invited me into
the tomb, unscrewed and removed the
lid from that sacred casket, and there
lay General Garfield before me, just
as he looked the day of the funeral
as if in a weary, unrefreshing sleep.
was surprised, for, despite the ema-
citation Of those noble features, /
was at once struck with their like
ness to the General as l had seen
him alive. 4 presume that years will
pass ere the preserving traces of the
embalmer's work will have been re-
moved from all that is left on earth
of Garfield. He was a great man,
and it shows in his calm though
pain-shrunken features still.
A reporter Of the Herald, with the
above extract in hand, visited Lake
View Cemetery to make an inquiry
in regard to the matter, and learn if
it was true that the remains of the
dead President had been exposed
to view even to satisfy the cnriousty
of the Governor of Iowa. The sex
ton being Intercepted about the
matter said that it was true, that
Governor Sherman had been allowed
to view the remains of the dead, but
that he had nothing to say or do in
the case The keys Of the vault
were in possession Of Lieutenant Van
Vlict, of the Tenth United States In
fantry, the officer in charge of the
detail of soldiers guarding the tomb,
and the lieutenant unlocked the gate
of the vault, unscrewed the lid that
covers the glass plato set into the
top of the coffin, and allowed Gov
erner Sherman and party to view the
remains.

PennsyIvania independents.

Whatever else the Independent
Republicans in Pennsylvania are doing,
they are not making blunders. Mr..
Cameron has a clear monopoly of that
busines. Every stepthe Independents
have taken has been discreet, and has
added to their strength. The opening
meeting of the campaign at Pittsburgh
on Tuesday evening was especially no.
table in this respect. They had for
presiding officer General Moorehead the
most unfiinching and powerful Repub-
lican leader in that section. They had
a list of Vice Presidents madeup almost
entirely of business men of such promi-
nence that each name as it was read was
received with storms of applause.
Every man on the list was decided ac-
QUESTION to the Independent cause and
an evidence OF its strength among the
people. They were MI Republicans,
and everything about the meeting was
Republican. General Moorehead's brief
opening speech declared the purpose Of
the Independents to be to keep the Re-
publican party to the same course which
it followed under Lincoln and Garfield,
and the speakers who came after him
were equally sound in their Republican
ism. They are not leading in a fight
against the party, but against those
whom they regard as the party's worst
enemies.-N. Y. Tribune. \,

The DfsaGectfon Growing I'm
the Republicans Ranks I'm
Pennsylvania.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-The voice
of the Republican leaders is still for
war, and the strength of the Stalwarts
is not increased by the disaffection
of Gov. Hoyt. He and Quay, who
stands by Cameron through thick
and thin, are openly on the outs, and
are by no means the Damon and Py-
thias which they once were. AT the
first Convention of May 10th, Harry
Hunter was promised the place of
Sealer of Weights and Measures for
the Southern District of Philadelphia
or at least a share in it, if he would
vote for Rawle and desert McManes.
Hunter carried out his part of the
bargain, but when Col. Quay spoke
upon the subject of Hunters appoint
! ment to the Governor, the latter qui-
city informed the Secretary of the
commonwealth that he would make
his own selections, and that only such
persons as were recommended by Mr..
McManes would be recognized from
this city. The result of this was
that Hunter refused to attend the re-
called Convention, and is making it
very uncomfortable for those who
made the promises to him. Both
Slack and Crawford, the present in
cumbents are McManes men. AS
the latter is the only person from this
city who has the ear of the Governor
at this time, it is likely they will be
reappointed.
Meanwhile the Independents con-
tinue as implacable as ever and are
working up the State pretty thor
oughly. Mr.. Wolfe said yesterday:
sThere is but one thing that will
give Beaver the least part Of a show
for winning, and that is the death of
Don Cameron. Were the Senator to
die to morrow. then there might be a
chance of coalition, but while he
lives it is out of the question. / do
not see how the differences can be
settled, except by the abdication Of
Cameron. If the Democrats name a
good ticket next week their chances
of winning are excellent. l know of
| plenty of Republicans who will vote
the entire Democratic ticket so as to
rebuke the bosses. | will not be o
candidate for any Office this fall but
will hold myself in readiness to do
whatever the State Committee desires
I of me-"

AmOLYOKE ROMANCE.
The Eropcment of N fair IBonrd-
ing.School Girl With a IBurIy,
Married Negro.


Hartford Conn Special to Philadelphia Press
During the summer of 1880 Adolf
plus Hall, aged 80, and his young
wife were employed in the stewards
department of Trinity College in
this city. They frequently quarreled
and in the fall of 1881 Hall ran
away. Six months ago he appeared
in Holyoke, Mass, where he was en-
ployed to take care Of the premises
of rich gentleman. Adjoining
these premises was young ladies'
high school, and among the pupils
was one named Mamie Grover, the
daughter of William Grover, a well.
TODD citizen, and superintendent of
one of the largest mills in Holyoke.
1t was soon noticed that Mamie and
Hall were often together. Whenever
she could leave the school room and
meet him she did, and the two fire.
quently rode and walked together.
On learning of their clandestine
meetings Grover forbade his daugh-
ter to have further intercourse with
Hall, but to his command, Mamie,
who up to this time had been duti-
full, gentle hammered child, gave no
heed, and continued to secretly meet
her lover on all possible occasions.
She became completely infatuated
with the fellow, Notwithstanding
their difference of race, he being a
mulatto, and was happy only when
in his presence.
Late on the night of May 18th
last, she returned to her father
house from what purported to have
been visit to neighbor. On the
next day her father made the dis
covery that his daughter aud Hall
had been married on that day al
Springfield, Mass, by white cler-
gyman. Mamie was Immediately
locked in her room and kept there

From the Enquirer. a
LONELINESS

LONELINESS
Needs not the foreign aid of ornament
Still, it has come to be the popular
thing for woman to use more or less
Of this same foreign aid. Beauty un-
adorned may be adorned the most;
but If woman does not think so, of
course she has our permission to
adorn herself to any extent which
pleaseth her. AL we ask is the priv
ilege of offering here and there a
suggestion as to these adornments.
Woman, like death, has all seasons
for her own: but we believe it is a
fact that glorious summer is partic-
ularly her season. Then she has
man at disadvantage. If she will
but array herself in white, no amount
Of warm weather affects her; not, at
least, in the eyes of admiring man.
She may feel the heat in all its in
tensity-and sometimes we think she
really does not feel it--but if so, the
dear creature never betrays it. When
man swelters and swears, behold her
cool and calm! The white rose that
hangs by the garden wall, and grows
more beautiful under the suns warm
rays, is not SO contented with its lot
as she appears to be.
Our advice to women, therefore. is
to wear white in the summer
Whether on the street, at home or on
the beach. it is the color for the sea-
son. Vary it If you will with some
thing else, but let it be your prevail
ing color. Here and there will be a
lady who can not wear it to advan-
tage. 1t is, however, becoming to al
most every style Of beauty, and moth
ing else heightens effects like cos
tune of white, with just enough color
here and there to relieve the eye. A
ribbon or rose will often suffice, al
though for the street little black
adds to the pleasant effect. For a
face that is not as fair as Helen's a
hat with the brim lined with black
can be worn to advantage.
We will not presume to invade the
milliner's magic realm, and say of
what material white dress shall be
made. There are various fabrics,
and the wearer will select according
to her taste. Any of them will suit
us. We only ask that the dress be
white. So much the better if a
strip OF dainty lace be inserted in
the sleeve that we may have hint Of
"The fair wonder of dear Juliets arms +"

EQUAL 10 THE EM EuIi ENCY
When the Next Train starts for
Below and Who Goes by ii.

A newly arrived and singularly-
assorted couple at a New York hotel,
consisting of a Londoner and an out
and-out American Western man,
stood watching the throng of people
coming and going at the marble
counter the other evening, and listen
ing with surprise to the endless num-
Der of quick questions made to the
hotel clerk about trains, rooms and
individuals, and his instantaneous
replies, when the Englishmen broke
out with:
Most extraordinary man; seems
to know everybody and everything
wonder if there is any question about
railway train or any person that he
can't answer?''
sI'll bet half dozen champagne
I'll put him question about a
train he can't answer" said the
Westerner.
'sDone! I'll stand six to see him
go to grass" said Her Majesty's sub
ject. .........-6.,.
We'll, here goes then, ana the
Westerner stepped up to the marble
counter
''Say! You appear to know every
body and everything; who is there
that's going to h, and when'll
the train start?'
Charles j. Guiteau; starts June
30th, sir" replied the clerk, looking
the querist right in the eye without
moving a muscle.
"Well, / reckon you're about right,
but you can't tell me where / can get
a ticket, can you?''
SEQ to the devilr' said the clerk,
turning away.
aMister," said the Western guest,
looking over to the blonde doorkeep-
err. after the laughter had subsidized,
"you can charge six bottles of sfiz' in
my bill for the use Of them gentle
men, for / must weaken on this bet,
it's agin me-" He withdrew, aud the
clerk kept answering questions about
other familiar routes with perfect
equanimity.

THE, GARFIELD EXPENSES.
A sharp Contest Coming I'm the
House Over the bills.

WASHINGTON, June PA sharp
contest will probably occur in the
House this week over the funeral ex-
penses of the late President, and,
contrary to the general expectation,
Judge Taylor will vigorously attack
his own report for the enormous
allowances it provides. 1t seems
that the report is his only as to its
unimportsnt parts. He drew it and
the committee voted what sums
should be inserted. Judge Taylor
regards the physicians allowances
as too much. He thinks DIR. Bliss
should not have near $4,000; to
Mrs. Edison he would give but a trl-
tle, and to DR.. Boynton nothing at
all. He would have signed the mi
nority report, he says, only he would
not unite with Blackburn and Spring
er on anything. Lefevre helped to
put up the figures where they are, it
is said, and then joined with Black
burn and Springer in opposition to
the allowance, in a minority report,
so that the matter is badly compli-
Gated in the committee.
1t had been taken for granted all
the time that because Judge TAYLOR
made the report and wrote the text
of it he would defend it upon the
floor of the House, and when he
leads off with a speech attacking it
most of his colleagues will be very
much surprised, as it was supposed
Springer would head the opposition.
The report provides for $4,000 for
Bliss, $4,000 each for Agnew and
Hamilton, $4,000 each for Drs. Rey-
burn, Boynton and Mrs. Edison, and
promotion for DIR. Woodward and
Gen. Barnes. 1t is said that DIR.
Woodward is in precarious health,
and, indeed, is not expected to live,
in Italy, where he has gone to pro-
long his life if possible. The fierc-
est opposition will be made to the
proposed promotion of Surgeon
General Barnes to the rank of Major
General, on the retired list. This
would give him 5000 a year more as
retired officer than on the active
with the highest rank he can have
under the law regulating the medical
service Of the army, which is that oil
Brigadier General. The members of
the military committee and others
will oppose such an innovation, and
it seems probable that they will be
successful.
There is some mystery about the
disposition of the $1,000 already
voted in connection with the funeral
Sergeant-at-arms Thompson was Civ
EN- charge of the matter and turned
in receipt for SO, 500 from the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. The
Pennsylvania Company, however, de-
MES having accepted any money
and Mr.. Thompson, it appears, also
says he paid them no money, but
why he took receipt and turned il
in is not clear. He says he has the
$500 in his possession, and the
company's representatives say that
the party who gave the receipt had
no authority to do SO, and that they
made no charge for their trains in
this connection. The question OIL
the ownership of the $500 is still
unsettled, therefore, technicality, al
though in reality it belongs to the
government.
