Judge jackson, Of the Louisville circuit

ton at jury returning to court with a

He told the jury that the practice Was be-
coming too frequent, and that he should
hold them until the end of the term or
until they did agree. The consequence
was that in cen minutes the jury came back

ty of robbery, and fixing the punishment

The Baltimore Day of last Friday gave

The Baltimore Day of last Friday gave
currency to report that, at a meeting
held at the House of Correction on Thurs
day for the transaction of public business,
an alliance between the followers OF Gov
ernor Hamilton and Mayor Whyte had
been arranged by near friends of the May
or with the Governor, to the end that the
Governor should throw his influence with
the Mayor in the coming primaries and
throughout the campaign, in considera
ton of the support of the Governor for q
denomination by the Mayor. This led te
the Governor being interviewed by Dag
reporter in Hagerstown, and an unquali
fed denial on his part of the whole state
ment. Mayor Whyte also wrote letter te
the Day disclaiming any knowledge o
the arrangement.

The DeyiIish Devices OF u CIairvOyant
10 XIII n Young Lady.

Troy, n. Y, April l6,-A clairvoyant
known IS Mrs. Waters, charged recently
with causing, BY malpractice, the death Of
a prominent young lady, received as a
boarder a day or two ago an innocent
country girl, sged nineteen years. She was
unacquainted With the woman's character.
and when the clairyoyant requested her to
sacrifice her virtue, she took refuge with a
neighbor named Mrs. Cotton. The de-
signing quack, incensed at her intended
victims refusal to return, threatened
to burn Mrs. Colton's house. She mixed
q quantity of sulphur, cayenne pepper
and kerosence oil, and placed the mix.
ture on a window sill of Mrs. Colton's
bedroom. She later discovered the woman
in the act of applying a match TO the pre-
paration. Foiled in this attempt to sutfo-
cate the girl and her protectress, the clair
voyant endeavored to accomplish her dead
ly intention by blowing creosete through
the key.hCle of a door. Mrs. Cotton in
formed the police, and on her return found
her ball floor saturated with kerosene.
Mrs. Waters has been arrested and released
on bail. She still occupies her apartments.
and the owner of the building, fearful that
she will fire it, has a wstchmsn on the
premises. As she refuses to leave the house,
sn ejectment suit will be necessary before
the danger of her presence is removed.

4 METEOR AS LARGE ASA MOUNTAIN,
Descends From the Heavens Upon a From
tier Town-lmbedded 200 Feet in the
Earth, 1t Towers 10 Feet Above
. Ground-Seyen Persons Killed.

DALLAS, TEXAS, April 15.-The following
telegram has been received from Williams
Ranch, Brown county, dated the l4th.
About two O'Clock this morning ponder
ous. meteor fell from the heavens upon the
outskirts of this town, killing several head
of cattle and completely demolishing the
dwelling house Of Martinez Garcia, Mexi-
can herdsman, who with his family, con-
sistine of wife and FIVE children, was
buried beneath this monster meteor.
The Greatest Conformation Prevails
here over this singular phenamonon, the
descent and shock from which may be
compared to the shock OF an earthquake
and the descent of an immense ball OF hre.
In shape it resembled somewhat the court
house at Fort Worth, and is still hot and
steaming. 1t is imbeded in the earth
probabably 200 feet, and towers above the
surface of the earth about seventy feet, and
covers about one acre OF ground.
The ConcussiOn Was Terrific.
Nearly every window in town was shatter-
ed to atoms. People were hurled violently
from their beds on to the floor. Goods in
store-houses were thrown from the shelves,
and every thing was thrown into state OF
chaos and confusion. No lives were lost as
far as heard from, except the Mexican
herdsman and his family, although several
buildings fell to the ground, and the cattle
fled in terror in every direction.
The Air was Filled with q sulphurous
Gas,
and the widest confusion prevailed, as II
was long time before anyb ody could even
conjecture what it was. This is undoubtedly
one of the largest meteors that has ever
fallen in Texas, and it has already been
visited by many people, and will doubtless
continue to attract great attention tnl
months to come. Great excitement pre-
walls, not only here, but all over the sur
rounding country, in consequence OF TINS
singular phen omenon.

HEAVY. FAILURE.
A Pittsburgh Iron House Goes Under
with Large Liabilities.


PITTSBURGH, April 16.-James Marshall q
Co., iron pipe manufacturers, and one OF
the largest firms in the city, made an as
signment to-day, to George l. Whitney, for
the benefit of their creditors. The liabili-
ties are $50, 900, and assets about sl25, 600.
The failure was caused by too extensive
speculation in pig iron. Since 1879 James
Marshall has been purchasing largely Of pig
iron under the belief that the price must
advance. The dullness of trade, the long
strike the uncertainty in regard to what
Congress would do about the tariff, and n
nally the failure of the expected advance
after the tariff bill had been passed all con-
tributed to precipitating the crash. Pitts
burgh banks are the largest creditors,
but they will lose nothing as they
have collateral for their loans, which
will realize the amount OF paper held by
them. Among outside creditors are Mar
shall Bros, of Philadelphia; the ROckhlIl
Furnace Company, of Fayette; Brown, the
receiver of Brown, Bonnell Co., OF
Youngstown; Hogsett, Hanna Il Co., OF
Uniontown, Pa; the Dunbar Furnace Com
papy, and the Fairchance Furnace Com
panv. The failure created surprise in
business circles, hut it was not entirely un-
expected. The firm are personally very
highly regarded, and have the warmest
sympathy OF the business community.
