necessarily implied discharge Of the prisoners,
or at the best new trial AS matter oe fact
it simply entities the accused persons to re-
view of the case by the Circuit Court, which
may result in confirmation Of the verdict in
Judge Blodgett's court, or the ordering of new
trial on account of irregularities in the original
proceedings, or the discharge of the prisoners on
the ground that the United States courts have
no jurisdiction in the case. But Judge Gresh
ans decision yesterday, does not go to the mer
its of the case which will be canvassed and re-
viewed at the May term of the Circuit Court
The opinion delivered by Judge Gresham re
cites the points made by the attorneys for the
defense and reaches the conclusion that the pris-
oners should have hearing before the higher
court 3 This hearing will embrace the jurisdic
ton OF the court, the regularity of proceeding
by information instead of indictment, and the
relation of the evidence to the several counts in
the charge on which the accused was tried.
But Judge Gresham was careful enough to warn
the attorneys and public that it is not to be in
ferred that the findings Of the District Court
Judge Blodgett) will be revised when the case
comes up for review. That is matter to be de-
termined after the case has been reviewed.
The United States Circuit Court at the May
term may consist of Judge Harlan and Judge
Gresham, or Of Judge Gresham alone. In case
the two judges sit, disagreement would enable
the defendants to carry the case to the Supreme
Court but an agreement between the two would
be final That is to say, if Judge Gresham, or
Judges Harlan and Gresham together,
should affirm the jurisdiction of the
court and the regularity IA of the
proceeding, Mackin and Gallagher would be sent
to the penitentiary without further ceremony; if
they should agree in denying the jurisdiction of
the court, the prisoners would be discharged,
and there would be an end to the matter; if they
should hold certain technical details to be
irregular, the prisoners could be again put upon
trial, either upon information or indictment,
according to the instructions of the Circuit
Court
The only effect of the writ of error which has
been granted is to give the ballotbox suffers a
temporary respite from the penitentiary and an
other chance for escape. What the result will
be cannot be foretold, and is not implied in the
decision rendered yesterday. At the same time
the public is oppressed with the apprehension
that the case may be thrown out of the United
States Court, and that Mackin and his pals will
escape punishment after all; for no confidence is
felt in any trial which may be had in the State
Criminal Court Such result would be a
severe blow to this community, and Judge
Gresham would need to rely upon the unmis-
taxable and imperative mandate Of the law to
justify it.

A Crazy H00Sier.

New York Dial.
A weird looking figure, robed in white, stand
ing on one Of the seats of Battery Park gestcu
lating wildly and shouting 'Ben Butler and Bob
Ingersoll forever" attracted the attention o;
Policeman Cosgrove at o'clock this morning.
The ghostly apparition proved to be Franz
Beyzenbock an Indiana farmer, who came tc
this city on Friday to meet his sixteen-year old
daughter, who had just arrived from Europe
The meeting was very affecting, fand overjoyed
balanced and he was placed in the hospital al
Castle Garden. He became very violent this
morning, and insisted on addressing the rest Of
the patients. The crazy man refused to desist
and in struggle with the night nurse got the
best of it and escaped into the street, where the
officer found him. He was barefooted and was
attired only in a night shirt When taken tc
the police station it required the united efforts
of four policemen to put him in a padded cell.
Later on he was taken to Bellevue Hospital
and delivered into the care of the Commission
ers Of Charities and Corrections.

A Delicate Surgical Operation.
Louisville Courier-Journal.


Yesterday morning delicate surgical opera
ton, involving the patients life, but attended
with the happiest results, was performed by Drs.
Froelich, Won Donhoff, Brandeis, Hays and
Weidner. The patient was Miss Carrie
Wedekind, residing at No. 1926 West Walnut
street The operation was for the removal Of q
sarcomatous tumor, which sprung up in the
shoulder-join of the right arm, and was the
cause of such excessive and unceasing pain
as to deprive her entirely of the use of the limb
The operation necessitated the ligature of the
subclavan artery-in itself an extremely diff
cult and dangerous operation-and the exsection
of the entire arm, the tumor and a portion of
the clavicle.
The patient, who was two hours under the in
fuence of chloroform rallied finely, and bids
fair to entirely recover. The operation is most
delicate and formidable, and probably the only
one Of its kind ever performed in Louisville.
