THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL.

Special Dispatch to THs BEx
WASHINGTON, May 8 In the star
route case to day when Bliss began
his concluding remarks to the Jury,
he made o particularly bitter attack
upon Brady snd then turned on the
other defendants. This prosecution,
said Bliss, is intended to protect the
treasury; such trials must necessarily
take plaoe; the eyes Of the country
were upon the trial to ascertain II q
Jury could be found In tho district
capable of understanding case of
this magnitude. As Bliss took his
seat Merrlck said, "The government
has closed Its opening"
Wilson Immediately irq aired of the
court If the government would claim
two arguments In closing.

Wilson declared he would refuse to
argue In case the government were
allowed two closing arguments.
Ingersoll made q vigorous protest
against the motion to allow two argu.
ments.
The court said 1t had seen nothing
to satisfy Its mind that there was any
reason to Justify departure from the
established practice in such matters.
1t was universal In jury cases to allow
but one reply to the government and
that order would be preserved in this
case.
Ingersoll explained that perhaps the
defence could arrange to make place
for the attorney general. They did
not want to deprive the government
of the services of Its highest officer.
Merrick said he should refuse to
enter into any arrangement with the
defense as they had uniformly rejected
his propositions.
"That's what we want" retorted
Ingersoll, $50 make them responsible

At the request of the defense, court

Bishop Way1nan.

FRosrBURG, Mn, Sept &c, 1888.
! To the MINING JOURNAL:
am informed that the above named
divine will visit Frostburg Oct. I'd, and
deliver his celebrated lecture in reply
to Col. R. G.. Ingersoll's attack on the
Bible. This distinguished prelate was
born on the Eastern Shore of Mary
land, and at an early age left his
fathers cabin, resolved to fight his
way through the world. How grandly
he has succeeded thus far can be
plainly seen. He is truly the most
popular colored man in the United
States Frederick Douglas excepted.)
He is also a self-made man in every
respect. Idon't think he attended any
school of note. He was elected Bishop
May 10th, 1864, by the General Con-
ference, sitting in Philadelphia, and
since that time he has been engaged
in travelling from one State to another,
working for the Master. He has trav-
eled through the Southern States,
when no other colored man of eminence
could do so without great personal
danger. He is at present presiding
over the Seventh Episcopal District,
comprising Alabama, North Alabama
and Florida conferences.
In view of all these facts / do not
doubt that the people of Frostburg
generally will hear this eminent divine
next Tuesday evening. The Bishop
has written several books during his
ministry, among which are-"Forty
Years Recollections of the A. M. E.
Ministry" Encyclopaedia of African
Methodism," and "Wayman's Manual
of Discipline"-all of which have stood
the test of severe criticism.
l am certain that the citizens of
Frostburg will not regret it if they
will give him their presence.
Respectfully, CITIZEN.

A Suggestion to Some Young
People.

FRosTBURG, MD, Sept 26, 1888,
To the MINING JOURNAL
The biblical injunction to keep the
Sabboth day holy seems to be observed
with considerable latitude by some of
the persons who are in the habit of
using Allegany Cemetery as park on
Sunday afternoons. 1t is but natural
that the consecrated ground--"God's
acre'-should be a place of resort on
that day of all others when the mind
rises to higher levels and the feelings
are attuned to loftier sensations than
are reached during the busy week but
those who flock thither should observe
the unwritten law-the law of the pure
heart and finer feelings-which die
tes that due solemnity should be OBJ
served in the "city of the dead" 1t
may be but thoughtlessness that in
spires the frolicing, loud laughter and
unseemly "courting" of young people
in our cemetery, but whatever the
cause, such conduct is entirely out OF
place. The feelings of those who go
thither to worship the memory of those
gone before are outraged by such in
decencies, and better and more serious
thoughts of others are dissipated by
the nuisances of which l have spoken.
If the improprieties mentioned are the
outgrowth of want of thought, a sim
pie mention may be sufficient if
caused by a total disregard of the
eternal fitness of things and lack of
sympathy for the feelings of others, l
hope that some stronger power than
moral suasion may be brought to bear
to abate the nuisance-and that very
speedily too. II. G. b.
