their foundations In his inner conscious
ness, however, hc was convinced that there
was nothing the matter with the country
it was all right; but the present generation
was bad lot taken a. a whole. Officers
OF the law had gone So far aS to arrest him
heretofore on suspicion of insanity; but II

ereign, but if he was poorly dressed he was
liable 70 be arrested for anything 1t was
decided that Patz had better be sent to the
County JAIL to be examined by the Board

4 Contumacious Attorney.

Yesterday afternoon during the trial OF

arose as to whether counsel for the defense
had represented paper, from which he in
te-rogated witness, 10 be 4 transcript of
the Reporters notes A l.. Hart, one of
the attorneys for the defense, stated that he
had not represented the paper to be such
Transcript but Judge Armstrong said that
he had done so inferentially. Mr. Hart
denied that he had done So After Consid-
cradle discussion, Mr.. Hart was proceeding
to state his recollection of what had oc-
CURED, when the Judge remarked that he
recollected the testimony and had allowed
the questions to be put To the witnes, upon
the assumption that Mr.. Hart was reading
from the transcript of his former testimony,
and told Mr. Hart to sit down. The latter
responded that the Court had no right to
order him nor any other respectable attor-
ney to take ms seat like a >choolbny; and,
being again directed To take hi, seat, Mr..
Hart said ne recognized the power of the
O. Court 10 order him 10 sit down, but he took
his seat under protest. The Court then or
.dered a fine of $50 entered against him for
contumacious language.

Sentenced for Life.

fee, on trial in Hastings for the murder
of Under Sheriff Scudder, after being
out for an hour returned with verdict
of guilty of murder in the first degree.

The following is brief statement OF
the case:
On the 14th of last May Under Sher-
iff William NJ Scudder ard his deputy,
w. Il. Geer, went to the house OF
Stephen Durfee, n farmer "a years OF
age, living six miles west of Hastings,
to serve warrant for Durfee's arrest
for assault upon Geer. AS Scudder
approached Durfee the latter menaced
the officer with an ak, and the men be-
gan exchanging pistol shots. When
each had emptied the chamber OF his
revolver they clinched. Geer seized an
AK and ran to the rescue, when Durfee
loosed his hold and the sheriff, who had
been shot in the breast, fell dead. Dur
fee ran and jumped into the officers
buggy and drove furiously away. He
was captured the same night 80 miles

hot fight with Deputy Geer and Marsh

The Franco Chinese Trouble.

The Pail NAL Gazette says "There is not
the slightest foundation to the report that
China wishes to come to an agreement with
France. The Chinese consider the Foo Chow

The barbarity OF continuing the fire hours after
the Chinese vessel had ceased Is the cause OF
intense excitement against the Europeans.

asserted that Admiral Courbet has left the
Min river, with the intention.of going to Can
