U~NIoNTowN, Pa, March 15.-In the
case of Capt. Dukes, who killed Treasurer
Mutt several months ago, the jury this
When the jury stated its verdict Judge
Wilson looked amazed, and said: GEN
tlemen Of the Jury, l suppose that the
verdict is one you thought you should
render under your oaths, but it is one that
gives great dissatisfaction to the Court,
because we thought there was evidence
sufficient to justify a different verdict. If
you have committed an error it is one we
cannot avoid, but Of which we can only
express our condemnation in this mild
way. The prisoner is discharged" Dukes
then left the court amid great excitement
and Indignation. Shortly after placards
calling an indignation meeting for to-mor-
row, OF account of the acquittal Of Dukes,
were posted all over the city, as soon as
the verdict was made known. The meet
ing was held not long after, and the indig-
nation over the verdict was terrific. An
excited crowd started towards the Court
house, where Dukes is in charge of the
Sheriff, carrying with them a stuffed efigy
of Dukes They also bore effigies of the
jurymen, and violence was momentarily
expected. At a later hour the crowd
reached McClelland's house, which is a
few doors from Dukes room, where they
suspended his eftigy across the street, and
sang, 1--WE will hang Dukes body on a
sour apple tree" Everybody was on the
streets, and intense excitement prevailed.
Fatal Disease Among Chinese.
OTTAWA, March 15.-Advices from Brit.
ish Columbia state that along the line OF
the Canadian Pacific Railroad the Chinese
are fast disappearing from the ravages of
a peculiar disease. Within q few days six
died out of a gang of %, employed few
miles below Emory. The victims only
live half an hour after being attacked,
there being no medical attendant provided
by the company. The nature OF the dis
ease creating such a thinning out is un-
known. The symptoms are swelling of
the feet and legs, as in cases of dropsy,
and soon the whole body is affected. The
disease was known some years ago in
Singapore as berrie berrie, and proved
very fatal to the Chinese at that time. Bad
food was thought to nave something to do
with it, and the want of vegetable nourish-
ment is supposed to be another cause.
When Cinnamon die a natural death, or
are killed, the remains are boxed in a
rough box. often much shorter than the
corpse, and placed somewhere out of the
way. Frequently a light covering of sand
or earth hiding the box from the view of
passers-by. This way of doing is COM
planned of even by the Indians living
along the line of the railroad. AS soon as
the water in the river rises, and the sand
washes OFF the boxes containing the dead
Cinnamon float down the river to tide
water or go to sea.

$40. 600 a side and gate money. On driv-
Ing away tuo pIiAo u5utcT WIS greeted Dy
the crowd with cheers. Sullivan was at
Harry Hills last night, and spoke to an
admiring audience for an hour. He evil
IDENTITY had been drinking heavily. He
spoke in disparaging terms of Fox, Mace
and Slsde, and challenged them to stop

match for S., 1000 or $40. 900 a side.
