SOME DAYS ago Michael Kelleher pa
tient in Bellevue Hospital, New York, was
killed by another patient named George
Mahon. The murderer was laboring un-
der an attack of delirium tremens when he
committed the crime. The coroner be-
lieved the case of sufficient Importance to
warrant him in summoning an exception
ally intelligent jury, and he issued sub
pGnas for the following gentlemen
Ex- Mayor Smith Ely, jr; ex-Presidens
Ulysses s. Grant, ex-Congressman Townsend
Cox, ex-senator Roscoe ConklIng, ex-Mayor
william II. wickham, ex.Mayor A. Oakley
Hall, ex- County Clerk Charles E. Loew, ex-
Mayor Daniel F. Tiemann, Francis b. Thur.
ber, ex- Mayor Edward Cooper, ex-1Tayor VIII
lam r. Grace, ex-Internal Revenue Collector
Sheridan Shook, William II. Vanderbilt, II.
Willard and jay Gould.
This action ON the part of the coroner
created a hutter of excitement in New
York. All the papers of that city mention
it,and the names of the distinguished gentle
men summoned were telegraphed through
out the country, as were the names Of those
afterward excused. Some of the New
York papers thought the matter important
enough to have the summoned parties in
terviewed as to what they proposed to do
about it. The interrogated parties replied
promptly that they would of course obey
the law and respond to the subpenas.
Why shouldn't they? No man is SO
rich or SO great in this country as to be ex-
empt from the provisions of the law or free

Ex-Presidents, cXCongressmcn, ex-Mayor5,
prominent business men, wealthy citizens
and railway magnates are liable to the law
just the same as the poorest day laborcr in
the land. If more coroners would follow
Coroner Merkle's example and summon the
best known and most intelligent citizens in
their bailiwicks, perhaps the verdicts of
coroners jHries would be held in higher re-
spect than they generally are.

COrkbilI's Conduct.

There is considerable adverse comment in
newspaper and other public circles upon the
conduct of Colonel Corkhill, who embraced the
occasion Of the dinner he gave General Sher-
man last night to humillate the reporters of
the press by neglect and ill-treatment. He
compelled some to cool their heels In the ante
room and sent others away with directions to
return later In the festivities. 1t seems
Colonel Corknill was either indisposed to bring
the newspaper men In contact with his guests
or afraid he might be compelled to ask them

AS HAS been expected, the Western

up the Mutual Union Telegraph Company.
The latter, doubtless, was only started to be

THE organ says that the late Marshall
Jewell "as chairman of the Republican

he was liberal with his own money even,

There is no such thing as cold and unim-

A TALE of horror to the effect that
party of Hungarian gypsies at Kingston,
N. j., had fed dead baby to two pet bears
on Sunday week ago has been going the
rounds. 1t is now denied by the citizens
of Kingston, who say that the baby was
alive when the gypsies left on Monday, and
that the story originated with young
man who said that he asked the women
who had the baby what she was going
to do with it and that she replied that
she would give it to the bears when it was
dead, This is a regular three -black-crows

SOME scoundrels employed in the Office
of the Commissioner of Jurors of New York
city, taking advantage of the well-known
disinclination of merchants and other
business men to sit on juries, organized
ring to blackmail them in return for having
their names left off the jury lists They
made from $4,000 to 100000 by their
rascally scheme, and for ten years they
have gone on unchecked if not unsus-
pected. -Four men have been arrested, and
one of them has turned States evidence.
The penalty is imprisonment for not more
than ten years, or fine not to exceed 5000,
or both. This is new and profitable scheme
OF jury-fxing, and must excite the ad-
miration of the eminent jury-fxers of the
Department of Justice
