denied is prevented from a new trial when
evidence 10 adduced to prove his innocence.
1t leaves no chance for correcting mistakes
and wrong decisions. Mistakes are newt
able. The fact that innocent persons have
been put to death ought to arraign the death
penalty as inhuman. 1t is said that in Eng
over 10000 men and women have been ex-
ecuted, and over 500 in this country. who to
the very last declared their innocence of the
crimes for which they were about to suffer,
and in many cases their innocence was sub
sequently established. But they were be-
yond redress. We know not how frequently
such cases may occur. Think of the injus-
tice when an innocent man is launched into
eternity from the gallows. Accused be the
barbaroas practice that renders such injus-
tice possible.
Gentlemen of the legislature, entreat
you by all that is most sacred, by your love
of justice-by the shame and tears of families
robbed of inoffensive member.-by the ago
nv of broken hearted wives and the cries of
poor, desolate children-by the gratitude of
the innocent you may save, of the guilty you
may reform, resist all attempts to restore
this barbarous form of yindcation and
Thank God that you have lived TO see the time,
When the great truth begins at last to find
An ufterance from the deep heart of mankind,
Earnest and clear, that all revs nge is crime;
That man Is hOlier than a creed that all
Restraint upon him must consult his good;
Hopes sunshine linger on his prisen wall,
And Love looks in upon his solitude"

shops all shut down. The trouble was
owing to the policy of retrenchment adopt
ed by the company. A deputation of en-
gineers waited OH Superintendent Eagan
yesterday and submitted schedule of the
wages demanded. Eagan promised to sub
nit the petition to the general manager,
Van Horne, which would take ten days.
The deputation said they would give him
twenty four hours to decide. Eagan re-
piled that he would decide in twenty-four
seconds. He accordingly sent out agree
ments for the men to sign accepting the
wages offered by the company. This
morning the engineers went to the
round house as usual to take
engines and was asked to sign the agree
ment. They refused and returned to their
homes. To-day Egan issued an order to
close all the workshops along the line. At
noon 5000 men walked out. An engineer
abandoned his train while on the eastern
division and the company will prosecute
him. The mail south was sent TO Emer-
son this morning by sleigh. The company
have telegraphed east for engineers but it
will be several days beforet rains are run
ming. It is feared the men
will become demonstrative when the
new men come on, and trouble is expected.

About the time named young Ruzisoka,

but while in the act his right foot became

The patrol wagon was called and the poor

narrowing in the extreme, and to make
matters worse it is understood that he was
the chief support of the humble home.

Trying to Get Even.

Mrs. Jackson and her daughter were ar-
rested on a warrant sworn out by Kitty
La Mont, charging them with keeping a
house of ili-fame. Yesterday morning
Mrs. jackson appeared in the police court
as prosecuting witness against KITTY La
Mont and her sister, who were charged
with the larceny of nearly $500, the
gills being discharged for want OF conclu-
sive evidence. Immediately after thsir
discharge they swore out warrant for the
arrest of Mrs. Jackson on the charge
named. The latter is an elderly lady and
she has the appearance OF hard working
woman.
This La Mont girls boarded with her and
she took in washing and had oharge of an
illegitimate child belonging TO the
youngest sister. few days ago she
missed the money which had been boarded
up for the past six years, and which was
the savings of the most mental though
honest work. She had the girls arrested
on the charge of theft, and as they threat
ened to &c. even with her it is believed
the present prosecution is the result of
spite work, particularly as the La Mont
girls have for some time borne an unenvi-
able reputation. The case will be investi-
gated by judge Burr

DISSENTING oPrX1oY.

l concur in The result. but on the ground
that when tbs chsttel mortgage was of-r-
cd and excluded the defendant did ret ap-
pear to be creditor of the mortgagof,
Dor 9 purchaser, nor mortgage in good
faith, so as to DO entitled to tbs protection
of Sec 1, chapter 80, general statutes 1878;
II did not appear but that as to him the
mortgage was valid; if valid between the
mortgagor and mortgage, and con-
sequently, as the case stood the inquiry
was as to the validity of tho mortgage in
fact, though it appeared to be void.
dissent, however, from the proposition in
the opinion, that the mortgage, if, as be-
tween the parties to it valid in fact, though
void ON its face, is being filed, valid as to
the parties intended to be protected by the
statute referred to. That can BE- sound
only on the proposition that the presence
in the files of the mortgage, void on it's
face for usury, made it the duty of credi-
tors, purchasers of mortgages to go farther
and ascertain if they could, that the ap-
pearance of usury was mistake, and that
in fact there was no usury. 1t seems to me
that the filing Of an instrument which on
it's facs is, for any reason nullity, can
have no effect whatever either to create the
obligation to make further inquiry or any
other. GILFILLAN, @. j.
