Whether we agree with Mr.. Beecher
or not, few men can speak or write on
any subject of personal interest with
so great certainty that everybody
will want to know what they say. In
discussing the question as to Low far
ministers may properly go in politics,
which he does in the North Ameri-
can Review for February great
preacher shows himself to advantage,
perhaps all the more because it con-
Germs him personally as well as profess
sionally. In the same number OF the
Review, the question, ''How shall the
President be Elected" is ably treated
by five happily chosen writers, viz,
two United States Senators, Dawes
and Vance; a college president, f. A.
Z. Barnard. of Columbia, a New
York lawyer. Roger A. Pryor; and
well-known journalist, William Pur-
CELL The substantial agreement of
four of them on the standpoint is sig
nificant. Another notable article in
this unusually strong number is re-
view of Holmes Life of Emerson,

They are following substantially the
route taken two years ago by the

RANGES from the chief engineer that
their ultimate line is not determined
upon and that if the road is built by
the way of this village that every eff
fort will be made consistent with
economy and the good of the road to
do no unnecessary damage to property
and to favor those who are so unfor-
tunate as to be damaged by the road.

TYLER, March 2j.-Special, THE case
Of the State Of Texas VS.. John Knight,
for tho murder of Conductor Frazier,
was given to the jury last night and q
verdict Of murder in the second degree,
with punishment assessed at 10 years in
the penitontiary, returned this evening.
This case has been one of great int rest.
A yenire of 100 men was exhausted be-.
fore obtaining jury, The state was
ably represented by County Attorney
McIlvain, Capt. James S. Hogg, and
Judge John NJ. Duncan; defendant by
Col, W. w. Spivy, of Henderson, and
Mr., L. n. Jones, of Tyler. The prosecu-
ton relied on the to5ti-
mony of five witnesses, among
the number the brakeman, Powers,
who was wounded al the the time of the
killing, and the negro porter, Riley.
These parties saw tho murderers, and
testified to the identity of John Knight
as one of them. The defendants had
about 70 witnesses, but only 81 were ex-
amined. They relied mainly on the tes-
timOny of tho mother ana brother Of
defendant to prove an alibi, and the fact
that two men, supposed to be tramps,
wore seen III that part of the country
about the time Of tho killing, who In
some respects answered the description
