Editor PLAIN DEALER Your efforts
In the interest OF the people politi-

the highest court has sanctioned
your ideas. Now while you have

David Dudley Field OF New York is
the author of the infamous criminal
Code of N. Y. It's provisions reduce
the men who toll for wages to worse
slavery than ever existed in the
South, placing the very life Of the
toiler SO completely in the keeping
Of the employer that he is not crimi-
nally liable, even though he takes
the life of the man whom he has en-
ployed for wages.
Cyrus w. Field, who erected a
monument at an expense OF several
thousand dollars at or near larry
town, to commemorate the memory
Of Major Andre, the British spy, and
to condone the treason of Benedict
Arnold, is a brother Of David Dudley
Field. Some patriotic citizen with
dynamite blew to atoms the monu-
ment that Cyrus w. Field erected in
honor OF treason.
Stephen J. Field, appointed Judge
Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States for the 9th circuit, by Presi-
dent Lincoln in 1863, and the dis
senting Judge in the recent legal
tender case, is brother Of David
Dudley Field. and OF Cyrus w. Field,
seems to have inherited all the in
famous qualities OF the family.
Democrats OF the present day claim
the Judge appointed by Mr.. Lincoln,
but repudiate Marshall, appointed
by Jefferson in 1901, and seem to
have entirely forgotten his opinions
given, prior to 1885, fully sustaining
the recent greenback decision.

A SHOWER OF BLOOD.
Red Rain that Proved Upon Analysts TO
be Some Sort OF Animal Liquid.

lLutttyH NeVS uHu OOStTCCT
A fow weeks ago there was shower of
some red liquid in Chatham. The place
where the phenomenon was seen is in New
Hope township. The fall came from cloud
less sky, when the wind was SO slight as to be
almost imporceptible. The position of the
drops seen on tho fence indicated q very
slight wind from tho south or southwest,
across some plowed land. Tho woman was
standing on this plowed land near fence,
along which small pine bushes were growing.
She noticed something falling between her
and the ground, saw it leave red
splash on the sand, heard a pattering
like rain around her, looked up, but
it was all over, and she could SEQ moth
ing. She was good deal frightened and
affected, taking it as portent of death or
evil u some kind. s. A. Holleman visited
tho spot tho next morning (the fall took
place about midday, and has kindly given
the following facts observed: The space COW
cred was about fifty by seventy feet, and
nearly In rectangular form. The drops
were In sizes varying from that of small pea
to that of a mans finger, and averaged about
one to the square foot. Smaller drops were
instantly absorbed larger ones, with those
on the wood, coagulated. Some fell in the
bushes and coagulated upon the limbs. DR..
Robinson, living near, collected s0me Of the
1rcbnly-luilen UaUerlal ana uauo certain
simple tests, which satisfied him that IL was
blood. 1t even had the smoll his says, of
fresh blood.
Tests were also made by Prof. Vonables ut
the University of North Carolina. The sand
placed in cold water gave u brown-red solu-
tion, which coagulated on heating. The
coagulum, a dirty brown, was soluble in caus-
tic alkalis, giving an indistinct green solu-
tion-treated with an acid solution Of mer-
curry nitrate it gave brick-red color. Nitric
acid also caused tho formation of this coagu-
lum and gave tho characteristic yellow tint
on heating, The original solution in water
was frightened in color, not turning green or
crimson on adding ammonia. On leaving the
solution two or three days it readily putrefied,
showing under the microscope great swarm
of bacteria. Examined by the microscope
the appearance of small, slightly altered cor.
puscles was seen, corresponding well those
got from slaughter-yard soil.

that man should go into court Of justice
Tor the purpose of perpotrating fraud upon
another, and there could have been no
fraud in the transfer of the note, as every
defense Batoman had against the note in
the hands of swain, he had against 1t in the
hands of Mr. Humphreys. With respect TO
tho alleged negotiation of triplicates and du-
plicatos Of pay accounts, Mr.. Calkins said
that Col. Morrow, having got into trouble by
his speculations in oil, applied to Swain to
aid him. The latter had no idea that Nor
row had Implicated his pay accounts or had
sold fraudulent accounts.
When Mr. Calkins concluded, Judge Advo-
cato Scott suggested that thoro was another
subject for the inquiry of the court which
had not been treated upon-the general
charges in the final paragraph of Mr. Bate
mans letter to the secretary of war. He
asked that the court require Mr.. Bateman to
explain what he meant by the statement in
question.
Mr.. Chandler said the accuser had no de-
sire to extend tho charges beyond those under
investigation at the present time, and Mr.
Calkins said he thought the jurisdiction Of
tho court applied only to tho charges en-
braced in the secretary's lotter asking that q
court be convened. Judge Advocate Scott in
sisted that the words "tho court will make n
full investigation of all the charges In Mr..
Batcman's letter." in tho order convening tho
court, extended its scope to the general charge
in the last part of the letter, and asked the
court so to rule.
The court ruled that Mr.. Bateman should
explain, and Mr.. Chandler said that they
would formulate the charge.
Mr.. Bateman was then called to tho stand.
| He testified in substance to the facts set forth
in Mr.. Chandler's general statement, and
gave some details Of the transactions between
Gon. Swain and his firm. He was positive
that the memorandum on tho due bill meant
that there was still due from Brown 10
Swain 6 per cent. interest on the amount
and 10 per cent. interest in his profits with
the firm, not then decided and adjusted. II
was for interest already accumulated. Swain
said he was going to surrender Browns note
and that the latter would put tho 5000 tc
his credit at the bank. He wanted the due
bill so as TO show that he had it.
Witness produced his books to show the
transactions between Swain and the bank
his deposits, drafts made on his deposits, pur'
chases and sales of stock for him, and tC
show that on Sept, 10, 1853, when his account
was finally closed, his credits at tho bank
were $33.S0. He spoke of Swaim's complaint!
of his failure to understand certain trans
actions, and tho explanations made to him
Con. Swain, ho said, had never up to thil
time demanded payment of the due BILL ant
said he (witnoss) first knew that this claim
was outstanding against him when Hum
phreys came to him for payment.
