From Our Special Correspondent.
CLARksBuRo, W. Va, January 1s.-The
Boggess murder trial continued to-day
with unabated interest to the public. The
prosecution rested easy in the forenoon
and the defence began at once to offer evi.
dence to show the insanity OF the prisoner.
1t was shown that some OF the relatives Of
the prisoner had been insane but as no
near,'relative had been insane. Itis thought
that the hereditary insanity theory will
avail the defendant very little. This eyi.
dence was followed by witnesses who spoke
OF having seen Boggess recently act differ
emily from what he formerly had. But few
witnesses 80 far express the opinion that
Boggess was insane, and the reason for
those opinions are satisfactory. The de-
fendants experts will be on hand to.mor-
row. It is understood they will be inter
viewed in very interesting manner.

each end Of the mill-and l40 machines.
The warehouse was 200 by f25 feet, and

.'tE manly, dellnht speech Of young SEN
ator Kennedy in the State Senate OF Penn
sylyania, on the nomination OF Lewis O..
Cassidy to be Attorney General, is ringing
through the Keystone State. Mr.. Kennedy
denounced the appointment as breach OF
faith with the people, and reminded the
Governor that Re had found 1t necessary
in the campaign to authorize denial OF
the report that in the event OF his election
Cassidy would be his Attorney General.
0tMr. Cassiday as politician he declared,
with entire truth, that he had trained with
the worst political agencies and therefore
his appointment was dishonorable to the
G&eruor, 10 the Democratic party and to
the State. This, be it observed, from the
mouth Of Democrat. The political history
OF young Senator Kennedy is short but
highly interesting. He lives in the Fourth
ward of Philadelphia-that Gibraltar OF
Democracy and iobbery commanded until
recently by the notorious Squire MCMul.
lin, Of whom not to know Is to be unta-
miliar with the history Of the Demo-
cratic party. The Squire figures in
the city, State and National conventions Of
his party and has been recognized
power" therein. Mr.. Kennedy took it in
10 his head that the Squire ought to be
made odious, and to the general amuse-
ment he "went for him" A vacancy hap.
peniug in his Senatorial district he entered
the race, made square issue against Nc
Mullin, and, this time to the general
anazement, defeated the 'squires candi-
date. II the Legislature had been called
in extra session he would have been too
young to take his seat. He ran
again last fall and was again elected. He
is not yet twenty.sIx years Of age-full of
courage, full OF the enthusiasm Of youth, a
lawyer by profession but oil no great practice
ns yet, and quite without experience In
public lite.' But he has suddenly jumpOd
into u fame which Is not bounded by his
own State. II he will keep up the fire he
will make man oihlmseli.
