City Attorney Pendexter said the
evidence resolved itself into this. that
Millican swore that some one had
assaulted the old man, but could not
identify the party, and that he was
seventy-five yards away at the time;
and that witnesses for the defense iden-
titled Schmalsteig as the party meant,
but swore that they had witnessed
what occurred, and that there was no
such offense as charged; that Schmal-
steig was simply trying to assist
him into the house; he said

Tar Smoke for Diphthcria.

Ruth Lockwood, the 9-year old child
Of Thomas Lockwood, a compositor in
the Times office, became violently i'll
with diphtheria on Tuesday night. She
was so weak that it was deemed dan
gerous to try tracheotomy, or cutting
open the windpipe. On Thursday DR..
Nichols, who was attending her. re-
ceived q copy Of the Paris Figaro,
which contained report made to the
French Academy of Medicine by Dr.
Delthil. DR.. Delthil said that the va
pors of liquid tar and turpentine would
dissolve the fbrinous eXudations which
choke up the throat in Group and diph-
liberia.
DR.. Delthil's process was described
He pours equal parts of turpentine and
liquid tar into a tin pan or cup and sets
fire to the mixture. A dense resinous
smoke arises, which obscures the air Of
the room.
The patient Dr. Delthil says,
Immediately seems to experience re-
lief; the choking and rattle stop; the
patient falls into slumber and seems
10 inhale the smoke with pleasure. The
tibrinous membrane soon becomes de-
tached, and the patient coughs up mi
crobicides. These, when caught in q
glass, may be seen to dissolve in the
smoke. In the course of three days

81 had rooster onct rs lickt ca"
The hero Of this remarkable state
met stood in the middle Of a eroup of
admiring hearers under the lamp-post
at Eighth and Chestnut recently, and
his twinkling eyes flashed defiance.
Don't believe it, do you? It's
fact, though. | us t live over hero in

Strange English Punishments.

A member of the house of commons
has felt it his duty to question Lord
Harrington about curious punish
ment which it was lately sought to in
ilict upon private in the militia, says
the St. James Gazette. The mans Of
Tense was splitting on parade, for which
the adjutant ordered him an extra half
hours drill with stone in his mouth.
The sentence-which is certainly not
worth saying much about-reminds
one of some of those pronounced by
Mr.. Falcon, the excellent first lieuten-
ant in peter Simple In fact, mar
tial law, whether on shore or afoat,
has often displayed touches of origin
atty not ordinarily to be found in the
procedure of the civil courts. Our
Richard l., for example, who did little
in the way of regular legislation, pro-
mulgated quite striking code of law
for the maintenance of order in his
fleet. Thus, if any man killed another
on board he was to be fastened to the
dead body and be thrown overheard.
He who drew blood from another by
wilful blow, or struck him with weap-
on, was to lose his hand; hand blow
that caused no blood was to be pun
ished by ducking the offender thrice.
A thief was to be shaven, hot
pitch was then to be poured upon his
head, and the feathers OF pillow shak-
en- over it, as mark whereby he might
be known; and he was then to be turn
ed ashore on the first land at which the
ship might touch.' This last we take
to be one of the earliest instances Of
tarring aud feathering on record.

LOCAL NEWS.

Dir. htte, the yonng man who has
raised such hub bub about the Howard
mob, has now very wisely concluded to let
the whole matter drop, and we can only
hope that he will not find himself in the
position OF the man who, having caught a
good hold of red-hot poker, couldn't let
90 again Mr.. Klttle stands in a very IN.
enyiable position. 1t appears now that he
acted entirely by himself in this whole mat
ter, and that his object was bIackmail. He
went to Justice Ried Monday morning last,
all by himself and perfectly sober, and
made an affidavit to the effect that he had
personal knowledge of those who composed
the mob that hung Nelson Howard, but
mentioning the name only of Alex. Mil
burn as one Of the party. He swore out q
warrant for Milburn's arrest, had himself
appointed deputy sheriff and came down
here to arrest Miiburn. When he served
his warrant Milburn told him to ego to
-" He told Mllburn he did not want
to arrest him. He was sorry for what he
had done, but he couldn't help it now. All
he wanted now was little money and he
would leave this section of country. He
also exhibited list of names which, he
said, had been obtained from a woman
down town to whom one of the party had
disclosed the whole secret and given all the
names. He probably expected SIilburn
and the others whose names appeared in
his list to fork over" Literally in order to
keep him quiet. But he was mistaken in
this idea. The boys didn't scare worth a
cent and he has been compelled to make
strenuous efforts to let go and crawl back
into his little hole. AS lntimated before,
whether he will be permitted to crawl back
now unmoested is somewhat doubtful. 1t
Is just probable that the men against whom
he plotted will not rest under the stigma
he has placed upon them in his affidavit
and in his vervsl ramblings; 1t is Just likely
that they will now compel him to carray his
scheme to It's Legitimate end-compel him
to 60 before the properly constituted tri-
bunal, and there either make good his
charges or stand convicted of most infam-
GUS attempt to eXtort money from them--to
gain few paltry dollars by bold, out
rageous plotinyolvingIa sacrifice OF the good
names, the liberty and the lives of score
of innocent men! It's barely possible that
kittle will be able to meet such an emer-
gency, but it is not probable at all in fact
there Is very strong probability just the
other way.

1t is saying oft repeated that there
is nothing new under the sun. But
there is all the same. We don't believe
that "ostrich eggs boiled" ever appear
cd on any hotel dinner bill-at least
in the United States-until yesterday,
when it was found by the guests of the
Florence Hotel of this city on the
dinner bill last evening. And tho eggs
were there, the enterprising proprietor
having procured number of Mr..
Johnson, of the American Ostrich
Company. The eggs were laid in this
city short time before the birds were re-
moved to the farm near San Luis Rey.

nounced them to be Of delicate flavor,
much better than hens eggs. San

were often alarmed about the awl.
