IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Wisconsin supreme court has
just refused to entertain an appeal in
a ease, the facts of which are substan-
TALLY as follows : ''On the Goth of
June, 1882, the First National Bank
of Milwaukee, entrusted to the United
States Express Company $4,000, con-
signed to A. J. Pepkin, of Boscobel.
The money was forwarded to its desti-
nation upon that day, and, being
received, as customarily, by the night
telegraph operator at Boscobel, was
placed in the safe in his office, tegeth,
er with some other money. After the
departure Of the train which brought
the money, at 9:35 p. M, the operator
locked the safe, and left the Office for
about half an hour Upon his return
he found that the safe had been open
ed and $4,000 taken, including the
$2,5 consigned to Pepkin. Some
time afterward, Joseph jenkins, a
resident of Boscobal, whe, prior to
this time, had been poor, but respect
able, as far as the evidence shows, was
arrested for Some offense and cast into
the county Jail. While lying in jail
the prisoners father and brother held
consultation with Mrs. Jenkins, wife
of the prisoner, the result being
that they went to q barn in which
jenkins kept horses, and digging
beneath manger resurrected $1,475,
the sum of $500 of which was given
as bail for the prisoners release.
The Circumstance was so singular,
that Jenkins was prosecuted on the
charge of receiving stolen property,
and being convicted, was sent to state
prison for two years, where he now

The official count shows that Blaine
received about 5000 plurality over
Cleveland in the total vote of the
United States. The New York Times
(Independent) in order to figure out
plurality for Cleveland, adds in the
Butler vote cast for the fusion tick
cts in the states of Iowa and Michigan
In both those states the Democrats
and Butler men arranged for a fusion
on the electoral ticket with the ex-
eeption of one elector, so that each
party might be able to know the
number of votes east by it. The
Butler men thus cast over $4,000
votes in Iowa and over $4,000 in
Michigan. These figures are added
to the Democratic vote by the Times
to make it appear that Cleveland had
a plurality.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Drunken Man Rum Over and Hor-
rfbly ManYIed.


About A. 80 O'Clock Monday afternoon
man named Murphy, was run over and
terribly injured near Brandy wine sta
tion, by the south .bornd Washington
express. The man was drunk and It is
not known whether he jumped or fell
from the train.
A few minutes b. fore the accident oc-
CURED, the brakeman made him 60 in
from off the platform, but while the
trsinman was attending TO his duties, he
again vent out of the car. a passenger
saw him strike the ballast between the
ira, ks face first, but WAS unable to say
whether the unfortunate man fell or
jumped.
As soon as the train reached this city
Station Master Gookin WAS informed OF
what had occurred, and he quickly sent
ont ahifter aud passenger car to bring
the man in to the station hospital.
Although large crowd gathered around
the man, no one attempted to move him
until the arrival of the car which brought
him to this city.
Drs. Kane and 0gle made an examina-
tion and found the scalp 20 cut and torn
that 1t hung in shreds. The skull was
bare in many places and was slightly
fractured over the right eye, while the
upper lip was horribly torn and the eyes
.earfully oongested and bloodshot. His
right foot WAS terribly crushed and b had
to be smputated above the ankle. The
thumb Of his right hand Sustained q
compound fracture, but in order to aid
his chances for recovery, 1t WAS not am.
putated, but carefully wrapped, as WAS
aIan hia In ruh ah ataI..
cred with lint.
The man lay unconscious until the
physicians began sewing up the ragged
pieces Of scalp, when he rallied q little.
He then gave the name of Murphy, but
replied with vulgar expressions when
asked his first name and residence. While
his wounds were being dressed he did not
lose two teaspoonfuls of blood and his
pulse was at slmest its natural beat.
About O'Clock he WAS taken to the
almshouse. An examination of his
clothes disclosed nothing of any conse-
quenoes. Picked in India ink on one Of
his arms are the letters ~. NJ"
About ii O'Clock Tuesday morning the
patient first realized that he had been
injured. He was then doing as we'll as
could bs expected. The accident, how
ever, may prove fatal as the shock to the
nervous system WAS very great and there
is possibility that erysipelas may set in.
When questioned Tuesday he gave
the name Of Frank Murphy and said he
lived on Fortieth street, New York. ae
has been on q Hpree for about 10 weeks
and had taken the train at Jersey City
for Chester, for the purpose OF returning
by sea from that city to his home.
Yesterday his condition was somewhat
improved.

MILFORD, Jan. 3l.-The reported run
away trip of the boys Carlisle and Black,

erroneous throughout. Tie boys be-
long here, instead OF Smyrna, and went
to FELTON,, instead OF New York. They
stayed at Relton over night, at the house
of an old colored woman, and returned
home on Sundy. One of the boys had a
little money the other had none. The
scalping knife and revolver business was
likewise imaginary.
