Attorney General James closed the case
for the government He said so much had
been said to blacken Carsy's character,
that people might believe it was right to
kill him. The jury had nothing to do
with this. The question for them to con-
slider was, "did the prisoner wilfully muir
der him!' The sworn facts left no doubt
as to that. The prisoner never pleaded
self defense until he saw his solicitor
at Port Elizabeth, and there was
no little of evidence to support the theory
of struggle or quarrel. The prisoners
counsel had told the jury story which
ODonnell had told somebody else. It was
theory unsupported by evidence. The
attorney general denied that O'Donnell
had stunned Carey. He invited him to
drink shortly before he shot him. The
woman with O'Donnell on the steamer
knew all about the shooting, and it was
strange she was not called as witness. Il

Free Fight in Philadelphia Medical
Institute.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov 23.-There is a
civil war in Jefferson medical college. The
seniors claim the best seats in the lecture
rooms, but the first year men have repeatedly
refused to give up the seats they
get, insisting that whoever occupies them
first day is entitled to possess them. Recently
at night, after DIR. Pancoast's lecture on
Measles, an open fight occurred, in which
the lights were turned out, and several stu
dents were knocked down and dragged out.
Blood was drawn BY thes doctors from each

Another row occurred next afternoon, and,
although everything is quiet now, the trouble
is not YET over The feeling is growing hotter

and they are about to institute searching

Organizing for Tiiden.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-The first Tilden
club for the next presidential campaign was
organized in this, city by 100 Democrats of
the Ninth ward. The club is organized with
the avowed purpose of working for the ticket
of ,S76. John Tracy, the president, said:
ave do not believe our action is any
too early. We mean business and we
realize that there is plenty of work
to be done We intend to take hold
of the tax-recsipt matter at once, and we
mean to see that the voters next year are not
bamboozled or inundated by bogus circu-
lars. Tilden can win next year. He can
beat Arthur in New Yark state to- day, and
John Kelley, too if necessary. Thousands of
Republicans will vote for Samuel J. Tilden
simply because they believe he was rightfully
elected in 1876. There is no Disgusting the
fact that next years fight must be in New
York and Ohio The party that wins must
have one of those states at least. For that
reason think next to Tilden our strongest
candidate would be Governor Hoadley, Of
Ohio"
