A Fallen J adge q.

1t Is no unusual thing for Judge OF
q court to drink whisky, and, more
than that, at times TO get intoxicated,
but 1t Is something unusual for judges
to be prosecuted for this very much
winked at infraction of the moral law.
An exec tion to tho rule has been found
in Plattsburg, Mis- souri, where rather
sad scene took place in open court
Judge Dunn, who is nearly seventy
years of age, and has been connected
with the courts Of that circuit for forty.
seven years, rs Prosecuting Attorney
and udge, was indie ted for drunken
ness. The Judge implored the Prose-
cutting Attorney ID dismiss the case, but
this he only agreed to do provided the
Grand Jury would recommend the dis
missal. JudgeLowe ordered the Grand
Jury to be brought into Court. Judge
Dunn then addressed them in feeling
speech, saying that he had been griey-
ously affl icted with asthma for some
time, and had bee n using stimulants as
q remedy that in the great suffering
from the disease he bad probably taken
too much. The Judge admitted the
remedy was dangerous one, and that
IN the use Of it he had probably beeu
y, 'iscreet, but he did not think it should
Ths> ,sidered crime. He alluded Il
be co. services, and said that he wa

consideration bu. refused to pass tn
resolution, as they felt they had onl
discharged their duty. The case wa
then continued for trial by the PROSE

The sympathy OF the public Is strong

raj sentiment is that the Grand Jur
did their duty in finding true bill,
the evidence was conclusive of prim

that this Grand Jury did its duty, IL

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind, Jan. d.
James Coffee, the young man who
last week confessed that he alone
murdered Farmer McMullen and
wife in Coal Creek Township, made
another confession last night, in
which he lmplicates a man named
James Dennis. The new confession
is as follows: II first said | killed
McMullen and wife TO save my neck
from the mob, as | thought by ac-
knowledging it they would consent
to allow the court to hang me. |
now say that | did not commit the
crime; that it was James Dennis.
He and | were at neighbor's house
the night of the murder, and | went
away first. | stood guard at Nc
Mullen's door and Jim went in and
killed the man. Then | went in
and We got SAB. We then pulled
his wife out to the gate and Jim said
that | must kill her: that he had
killed the man. ! told him | did
no. have the nerve to do it. but he
insisted, saying he had killed the
man and must kill her | then
struck her one or two blows with the
hickory club that we made especial
ly for the killing. We then carried
her in on the bed. She was not
dead, but We fired the house and
left them to burn, both bodies being
almost entirely burned up"

A Silver Discovery in Georgia.

DALTON, Ga, Jan. 20.--For sever
al weeks past assayists of Boston
and San Francisco have been pur-
suing investigations in the Cohrttsh
Mountains OF Northern Georgia.
They have been making their tests
with an electric machine, and have
traced vein OF silver $50 feet wide,
which extends entirely through the
mountain. a distance of eight or
nine miles. They represent Boston
capitalists who have extensive mines
in Nova Scotia, Colorado and CAL
ifornia, and state that the Georgia
mines are ten times more valuable
than they ever before assayed. The
assays have run as high as eighty
per cent. and they say that s20,-
100000 could not buy the vein they
have tested. A large mill will be
erected at Dalton. Great excite
ment prevails throughout North
Georgia over the wonderful dis
cOyerIeS.

THERE is prospect Of high old
time this winter between Governor
Pattison and the Legislature. The
Governor has all the stubbornness of
a mule, and the Republican MAORI
ty of seventy in the Legislature, is
not likely to prove very tractable.
The Governor insultingly threw his
gauntlet in the face of the Leeisla-
ture, and there will be plenty Of
champions to take it up, when the
proper time comes for discussing
his message. Beside this, the APP
portionment bills and similar meas
ures will be bones of contention,
over which there viii probably be
protracted struggle and wordy
war.

A Girl who Hears Through Her Nose

EAsToN, Jan. 2l.-Harrisen Hahn,
of Wind Gap, has a two-year-old
daughter whose ears are bent for
ward and grown fast to the face.
The girl was deformed when born.
When she became two months old
two doctors separated the ears from
the face and tied them back to their
proper place, but they returned to
their former position and are there
to remain undisturbed. Both
ears are without the ori6ce, but
deafness is prevented by the girl
hearing every sound, no matter how
slight, through her nose and mouth.
She is very bright girl, is very
fond of music, weighs only twenty
pounds, is healthy, and is Mr..
Hahn's first and only child, al
though he has been married over
Is years.

paipns knows this. Each commit
tee raises funds for its own use. Mr..
Jones knew this, and the best evi-
dence of it is that, he was soliciting
contributions from the same persons
to whom Mr.. Cooper applied. He
certainly did not expect to receive
double contributions from the
same persons, by the pretext
that it was ostensiblv, and ostensi-
bly, only, for the use of the State
Com mittee. Emery is a feather
weight statesman, but be and his
hackers ought to know enough to
know, that, when he asserts that
Mr.. Cooper gave none of the money
that came to his hands to the
Blaine cause" the burden OF
proof rests on his shoulders, and
that Chairman Cooper can not be
asked to prove a negative. Let Mr..
Emery produce the proofs of Coop
er's disloyality to Mr.. Blaine. His
mere allegation does not count
againt the $1,000 majority for him,
which stands to Cooper's credit. But
as we said before, this discussion is
proftless, and the attempt to cast
suspicion upon Mr.. Cooper's party
fidelity comes with an i'll grace from
Mr.. Emery and his allies, who roar
ed SO loudly in the index for Mr..
Blaine, and were not heard of in the
after canvass.

wounded. who are now }. ceiving

THE JEWELS SAFE.
Count Won Munster, the German
Minister to England, and the Lord
Mayer of London, visited thescene
of the explosion at the Tower this
evening. 1t has been ascertained
that the crown jewels and regaIias
which have been for long time
deposited In the Tower are undam-
aged. The noise of the explosion
was preceded by blinding fash
and followed Dy great clouds of dust.
Additional guards are placed to-
night around the tower, the parlia-
ment Houses and all public build
ings-
Among the injured there were sew
eral childr- n offender years, aud their
pale faces, bleeding wounds and
broken limbs were SD pitiful to be-
hold that wien they were carried
from the quaking buildings and
across one of the couIt yards
the crowd, which had run
to the open space for safety, be-
came thoroughly infuriated. Fren-
zied yells of Lynch the the villains
Roast the fieodsF' were heard on
all sides. All the visitors who were
in the Tower at the moment of the
explosion are still prisoners there.
The gates are closed, and will not be
open until the antecedents OF each
individual shall have been Thoroughly
sifted At 6 O'Clock 16 persons were
reported injured. Loud threats
against the Irish were beard on all
sides, and if the excitement contin-
ues, bloodshed will probably follow.
DlABOLIc PLOT.
As the particulars OF the plot de-
ve[oped they showed an organized
attempt at the destruction of life and
property beyond any hitherto dream
of even by the Scotland Yard au-
thorities. The place selected by the
dynamiters for their operations were
apparently those where the great
est tatility would be likely to occur
because of the number of people
who frequent them each day.
The city was thrown into a fren-
zied state as soon as the news became
generally known. The whole police
force is on duty, and all troops in
and around the city are under arms.
The police patrols are stationed
everywhere in close proximity to
each other, and Gordon of police
has been drawn around every pub
| lie building. Chief Superintendent
Williamson, of Scotland, has person
ally inspected the scene of the ex-
plosions, as have also Inspectors
Livingston and Kelly. One of the
wounded policemen is dying.
Several men have been arrested,
but they are believed to be innocent
OF any connection with the horrible
eutrages. The man was taken into
custody in the vicinity of Westnin-
ster Hall is Canadian and appar-
emily seafarer. He was thorough
ly searched. but nothing of an in
terminating nature was found.
The Queen has telegraped for par
ticulars of the explosions TO Sir VIII
liam Hareourt. Hundreds of rifles
were damaged in the Tower, which
was ignited and the fire was suppress
sed with great difficulty. The an
cient armory was destroyed.
