"LET 'EM FIGHT.n
How Nashville Judge Had Some Fun
In Court.


in Court.
This morning the defense in the Musko-
vitz murder case, says a Nashville special,
introduced Martin Cohen as a witness.
During cross-eXamination Attorney
General Washington asked witness if he
had not been indicted tor robbing Martin
Burkhardt's saloon.
Moses r. Priest objected to this cues
ton as incompetent, and said that the
Attorney General knew that the court
had ruled that all such questions were in
competent,
MI w ashlngton replied that it was I'M
true, as ne knew no such thing. At this
luncture the opposing counsel engaged in
an alteration.
Judge Allen here ordered all bystanders
to stand back and not interfere, but let
Messrs. Washington and Priest fight it
out, stating that he would send to jail
anyone who attempted to separate the
parties. He said he had tried to keep
them quiet by threatening them with pun
ishment, but it seemed to have no effect
on them, and, if they would fight, he
would let them pitch in.
At this Mr.. Priest struck at Mr.. Wash
ingtOn, hitting his shoulder and causing
him to fall backward over chair. Mr..
Washington rose and started toward Mr..
Priest, but some one pushed Mr.. Priest
backward, and the crowd rushed in and
prevented the fight. Order was then re-
sumed and the trial proceeded with.
just before the adjournment of court
for dinner, Judge Allen said he desired to
say few words to the attorneys. During
the squabble the court had, upon the i'm
pulse Of the moment, told the two con-
tending attorneys to fight cut their differ
ences, but on second and more sober
thought he would say that their conduct
was disgraceful and unbecOming, and he
wanted it fully understood that the next
attorney who used an insulting expression
in his court would be sent to jail to the
full extent Of the law. and that no crying,
sniYeling or intercession would induce
him to relieve them from punishment. He
further said that any one who interceded
himself in behalf OF such a one would be
punished by Imprisonment.

The murder of Police Officer Fowler
yesterday by a negro rough in the chain
gang, says a Washington special of Sept.
IA, has reminded some superstitious pee
pie of the curse of Guiteau. Police Officer
Fowler was one of the three mounted men
who guarded the assassin's van in its
trips from the Jail to the court house
throughout the trial. Guiteau, the night
the verdict was brought in, in the dark
room dimly lighted by candles, glazing
like wild beast, invoked a curse upon
all who had been connected with the trial.
There have been a number of deaths of
persons who were so connected, including
in their number jurors, doctors, detec-
tives, jaIlers, policemen and attorneys.
Within two weeks two covered by Quit
eau's curse have died-Dr. Woodward, of
the army, one of Garfeld's surgeons, and
now Officer Fowler.

swedish Railway Travel.

Gas we wound round a valley" says
correspondent of the Boston Transcript,
81 was much interested to see what l
thought was funeral procession coming
towards us. AS we came nearer, how
ever, saw that it was the daily express
train coming up the line. 1t must be very
difficult for a Norwegian train to keep to
it's timetable, as it is almost impossible
to avoid getting ahead of it. But the en-
gineers are very cautious and reliable.
They have a terrible legend,
however, OF a wild engineer who
used to run ahead of time and nearly had
fr1ghtful accident. A man fell asleep with
his leg on the railroad track, when this
engineer and his train came along. The
sleeping man felt something pinch his leg,
and awakening saw that it was the ex-
press train. He then got off the track in
time to save himself. Had he slept five
minutes longer, the train would have been
completely over his leg and broken it.
The engineer was blamed greatly, for he
was a reckless man, who sometimes ran
as fast as ten miles an hour. / think,
however, that the legend has no founda-
ton in fact, for l never saw Norwegian
train in a hurry"

ConspIrator Hoar Cornered.

1AVHtgOHeFD dUt6TttSeT IDenl.l,
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, calls the
attempt of the people to elect Cleveland
President "a conspiracy to get possession of
the Executive Office" And this from a man
who as senator said he would be willing to 20
behind the returns if put on the S to Z COM
mission, but voted to not do so when he found
that it would elect Tilden. No man who
helped to cheat Tilden ought ever to utter the
word conspiracy" Has it come to the point
that an effort of voters in every locality of
this Union to turn out the Republican rascals
is a conspiracy? Has the Republican party
been in power so long that the people dare not
make change? Mr.. Hoar may be fore
shadowlng repetition of the infamies of
1867, but he may rest assured that the fairly
cleo ed President will never again be robbed
of his rights. That much is snftled

Ex-senator Grady appeared to have an
extraordinarily well organized corps of

were able to do a great deal more in the
way of making noise than anything else.
When it came to voting they were not
there to any great extent.

A Disappointing Rest.

Reao York ECenjng Post Ind. Rep.).
The returns show that the Republican ma
jority is about the same as that which the
State gave to Hayes in 1876, and that the
grand result of Mr.. Blaine's personal and I'M
paralleled canvass in his own State, with no
canvass on the other side, is a slightly in
creased majority over that given to Gov.
Robbie two wears ago.

The great increase in violence Of the
cholera in Naples is sufficient to alarm
all the countries Of Southern Europe. 1t
may be doubted whether the true nature
Of the disease and the conditions that are
favorable to its propagation are yet fully
understood. 1t is doubted that it is
altogether a filth disease, and it will be
difficult to convince the world that it is
neither contagious nor infectious. At the
present rate Of mortality it win not take
it long to thin out the Overcrowded popu-
lation of Naples; and if it becomes so de-
structive in other Italian cities, King
Humbert will hardly desire war to rid
the kingdom of its surplus population for
q good many years.

The Philadelphia Record thinks that the
present age needs more honesty. Itsays:
s'Every real advance in civilization
brings with it a greater amount of happi-
ness for a greater number of human be-
ings. Even a code Of morality which does
not in the entirety Of its action conduce to
the happiness of the human race is
really immoral. From this stand
point Of happiness commercial i'm
morality ranks as one of the
greatest of crimes. The populations Of
presidents, cashiers and clerks cannot be
said to give happiness to the perpetrators,
whose career usually closes either in Jail,
in suicide OF in poverty and ignominy;
and it certainly does not bring happiness
to the victims. Yet this state of things is
likely to continue so long as public Opin-
ion considers a man smart who becomes
rich by such practices" The reasons
the classes mentioned get the idea that
the public looks leniently on those who
acquire wealth by dishonest practices, is
that they do not mingle much with the
honest classes OF their communities. Men
who consult exclusively with gamblers,
unscrupulous spectators, and pot-house
politicians, will soon get to thinking that
honesty is at a discount. When bank
official, or any person acting In fiduciary
capacity, begins to keep suspicious COM
pany, it is time for those who have funds
in his keeping to begin to suspect and
watch him.

Nearly all the counties Of the State have
been revising their jury lists. In most of
the counties the number of jurors has
been cut down, and in only e few has
the list been increased. With the most
careful revision names of men who are in
competent are apt to get on the lists. In
competent jurors can do a community in
estimable harm. They are not only the
instruments of injustice in many lndl-
vidual cases, but they are the cause of the
growing distrust of and contempt for the
law IN some sections. Good citizens win

Where the jury lists have been cut
down, no doubt the names OF many I'M
worthy men have been left off. While
there will be fewer jurors in the counties
they will be nearer the ideal of what jul
rors ought to be. They will be intelli-
gent and upright in the main, and will
neither be much disposed to shirk their
duty or apt to peryert justice.
There are a good many very smart men
who are not fit to be jurors. They have
intelligence enough of a certain kind, but
they are so utterly devoid of the qualiica-
ton called uprightness that they do not
know the first principles of justice. The
drunkard, the Ibertine, the thief, the muir
derer, are not qualified for jury duty un-
der our law. The commissioners in re-
vising the lists ought to mark and leave
off the new ones the names of all profess
sional jurymen. This class should be
reIegated to back seats in our courts CT
justice. They are nuisances both to court
officials and the parties. Let them be sup
pressed.
