wealth vs.. WIN. Neal closed this afternoon
at 8 o'clock, when the Court ordered the
prisoner to the custody Of the militi,. and
adjourned until Monday, when the argu.

duced an ingenious array OF testimony that
showed nothing, but diverted the minds OF
the Jury from the contemplation OF the

its proper light, had never been approached
in the history OF Kentucky, the old Com
monwealth whose inhabitants are ac-
uuainted with every species OF crime. The
rebutting testimony offered by the Com
monwealth was overwhelming by reason
OF its brieiness. The witnesses whose evil

backbone OF the defense were shown up rs

it consists Of one brigadier general, q

Major Clapp provides for an appropriate

John Irwin Kaiser, young man of twenty.

became violent, and it was found necessary
to take him from his boarding house to the
police headquarters, and next day he was
placed in private insane asylum. There
he continued his violence, INDUCED in ali
kinds of feats Of strength until he brought

he died. His father, who lives in Toronto
Canada, was notified Of his sons condition
and came here day or two ago, and at.

says the boy was bright and strong both
mentally and physically; that there never
was taint of insanity in the family, and
can not account for the strange effect OF the
execution.

WASHINGTON, January 22.-The State of
Georgia has claim OF long standing
against the Government, which the Com
mittce on Claims Of the House has just re-
ported should be paid. In August, l70O,
Congress passed what was known as the
Assumption Act, assuming the payment Of
the revolutionary war debts OF the States
incurred in the common defence Of the
country. In l777 Georgia had incurred a
debt for supplies purchased Of one Robert
Farouhar for troops under the employ
ment OF Gen. Jas. Jackson at Savannah,
There was controversy about the claim
and in 1893 Georgia pledged her faith that
the bill should be paid so far as it should
be found Just. For years, however, the claim
lay dormant until tho Farquhar heirs in
1888 applied by petition to the State fol

WASHINGTON, January %. - Secretary
Frelinghuysen has transmitted to the SEN
ate, in compliance with section 1874 OF the
revised statutes, the names Of the clerks
and all persons employed in the State De-
partment during 1881. The Secretary
further adds that the persons named "haye
been useiully employed that the services
Of none now employed can be dispensed
with, nor is the removal OF any and the
appointment Of others required for the bet
ter dispatch OF business"
When the Senators and members Of
Congress who are besieged by scores Of
Office seekers daily, peruse the little report
Of the Secretary Of State they will doubtless
wonder Il tho District Of Columbia is not
attaining some what exalted position rs
the mother Of department clerks. Thereare
1913 names. on the roll submitted by Mr..
Frelinghuysen, Of which 10, considerable
more than one.half, are residents Of the
District. New York fares better than any
other State, having twenty.four names on
the roll. Pennsylvania, Maine, Connecti-,
cut and Louisiana each have two clerks;
Virginia has two, and Maryland, California
and West Virginia three each. Several Of
the States are not>represented in the de-
partment, Positions on the clerical staff
Of the State Department are regarded as
the most desirable for the reason that
changes are seldom made, except for
cause, and the labor performed is proper
tionately lighter than in any of the other
Government departments.
