Citizens of Cohoes Up In Arms Against The Laying ofa Railroad Track.

Citizens of Cohoes Up In Arms Against
 The Laying off Railroad Track
 ALBANY, Dec. GA special to the Press and Knickerbocker from Cohoes says: Sev- eral weeks ago the Delaware 6 Hudson Canal company desired to lay a side track on Van Rensselaer, street in this city While the Common Council were debating on the matter the company attempted to lay the track. The city served an injunction re- straining the company from continuing the work and refused permission to Jay the track. About 12 o'clock this morning a train of one hundred laborers arrived and the men commenced digging up that portion of the street not covered by the injunction. They were notified to quit, but they refused. The foreman was arrested for breaking the Sabbath The men quit work, but made an other attempt at 5 p. m. and were driven off by the police. They, will make another att tempt early tomorrow morning and serious trouble is anticipated.
 LATER.LLaborers in the vicinity of the work were searched and many of them were found to be armed and the people more di- rectly interested are mostly members of St. Bernard's French Catholic church and their friends say they will stop the laying of the track at all hazard. Crowds are gathered at this hour (midnight) about the church expect ing some renewed attempt on the part of the railroad company soon.

THE STORY OF RUINED LIFE,

An Eminent Jurist Becomes Tramp
 and a VagabOnd Through Love of
 Rum.
 CHICAGO, Dec. GA life history of wreck and ruin was disclosed in Justice Kersten's court when William Wallace Drummond was arraigned on and pleaded guilty to the charge Of vagabondage. His tottering limbs and bloodshot eyes presented 6 sad contrast to the Judge Drummond well known in Chicago twenty years ago. Early in the 'tfifties" Dfummond joined the tide of emigration to Illinois and locatsd at Monmouth A man of brilliant accomplishments, g profound lawyer, learned scholar, an eloquent orator, he rose rapidly in the scale of public estima- tien. He was elected @ member of the 1egis- lature and measured his lance with the men of mark of the times. During the admins tration of Franklin Pierce, and upon the personal solicitation of the Illinois representation in Congress. headed by Judge Edmunds, of Carthage, he was appointed chief justice of the United, States court at SalE Lake City. His administration of the trust IS said to have been characterized by such strict interpretation of the law that he wss the cause of the uprising by the Mor- mons and was forced to flee to California to escape Danite vengeance. Insurreetien fol- lowed his departure from Utah. and Albert Sidney Johnston, subsequently a general in the Army of the Confederate States, who fell at Shiloh, was ordered thither. He suppress ed ths outbreak, after which the ostracised judge returned to his post.
 About 1857 he revisited Illinois and finally settled in Chicago, where he became mem Der of the legal firm of Drummond, Davis & Martin, having it's offices in the old Metro politan block. Here, too, he arose to promi- nence as a counsellor and advocate, and resi- ded opposite Union Park in q style befitting his professional eminsnce. Early during the war Colonel Davis died, Martin withdrew from the firm and Drum nond 1nysteriously disappeared He was afterEard heard of on the Pacific coast and again in St. Louis, where he married 6 wealthy lady, who is reported to have sep arated from him after he had expended her patrilnony. Next he was heard of in an in terior county of Missouri serving in the capacity of judge of the Circuit court. Then thero comes blank in his history. About four years ago he returned to this city as suddenly and mysteriously as he departed almost twenty years previous. His family had become scattered One of his daughters, said to be woman of surpasslng beauty and bTilliance, was the occupant of 8 cell in a mad house. Broken in mind, body and estate he became wanderer. Never was the truth of the Seriptural admonition, GAS ye SOW so shall ye reap" more striking ly illustrated or eloquently demonstrated. An old man now, at age when he should be surrounded by troops of friends, he wan ders listlessly about, common tramp, an Ishmaelite, q petitioner for mercy at the bar of police court.

A STRONG PAskNELLITE VOTE. Hut Few Tories and Ne Liberals Elected En Iralanh

A
 LONDON, Dec 6.-The total Parnellite vote in Ireland was 221, 1881. The Loyalists, in- cluding both Tories and Liberals, boiled only 121, 101. It was only in Ulster the Loyal ists boiled more votes than the Parnellites. There the vote stood: Parnellites Az, 63S; Loyalists 94, 362. Outside of Ulster the vote stood: Parnellites 179,243 Loyalsts 26, 739 Four Tory candidates were elected without opposition for the west and east divisions of County Down and Dublin uni versity Twenty Parnellites were elected without opposition. Thus far seventeen Torres, sixty-uine Parnellites and no Liber- als have been elected in Ireland. T. P. OConnor has also been elected in Liverpool. He elects to sit for Liverpool and MT. E. D. Gray elects to sit for Dublin. This leaves two more safe seats for Parnsllites in Gal way and Carlow. Of the seventeen con- stitueneies which have not yet voted four teen are certain to elect Parnellites. This added to those above makes eighty-six seats which are now assured to the Parnellites. LONDON, Dec. 7.-The Standard in an ar ticle which is evidently inspired says that Lord Salisbury will not resign a result of the Tory defeat. The failure of the Tories to obtain majority does not, it says, prove that mandate to govern has been given by the nation to any other coherent body of statesmen.

Professor Knapp and King Alfonso The Courant Prints Poetry Ded- icated to the Professor of Boxing -The Contest for Lit. Editorships.
 Brewster '81, son of the Rev. Joseph Brew ster, formerly rector of Grace church, this city, owns a bonanza wheat farm at Groton, Dakota, which he runs besides being tho postmaster there.
 Dudley TT, the famous warbler, Merrill and Hay 'S1, Chamberlain 80 and Griggs 'e4 formed the impromptu glee club at tie recent alunni meeting at St. Paul, Minn., and sang as well as of old.
 Professor William !. Knapp was for num- Der of years the private secretary and conf dential adviser of the late King Alfonso, and it was largely owing to his efforts that the immunity enjoyed by the Baptists in Spain granted
 Renalds '06 S., who was compelled to quit playing football early in the season by water on the knee, has reioined his class.
 The Courant sings "Prof." L. c. Dole 8 praises in the following lines:
 There stood an old man whose hairs were white,
 But his veteran arm was full of fight;
 Though aged, he was so iron of limb
 None of our youth could cope with him,
 And the foes that he Sngly kept at bay
 Outnunubered his thin hairs of gray.
 The competition among those trying for places on the next Lit. board is extremely active, since there will be only one more number issued before the juniors meet to elect their class editors, who will conduct the magazine next year. There will be at least seven "body" pieces handed in from '87, be- sides five or SIX probably from under class men, and as the Lit. rarely contains over five such articles Gone of which is always written by the editors), it will be that essay must have exceptional merit in order to in sure it's insertion in the coming number.

ss1a5e5 the Couun drums
 BOSTON, Dec. G.-With the exception of charging the jury and the verdict the case of Wilson vs. Moen has been finished. The court room was again crowded and the inter ested audience remained patiently until the adjournment for the day. Some very peeu- liar testimony was given, but the underlying mystery did not even allow it's shadow to ap- pear. "Doc" Wilson acknowledged having received over $500, ,00O at different times from MT. Moen, but for what he would not say. From his manner one would infer that it was customary for wealthy old gentlemen of the social and business position of Mir. Moen to give meh like the witness checks of $50, ,000 or $1O0, 900 at a ti1ne without taking receipts and simply as an aecommodation-a method of well wishing. Wilson and Moen, accord ing to the testimony of both, were not even warm personal friends, simply aceuaintances. Wilson gave Moen worthless notes to satisfy Maria-to wit, MT. Moen's wife-and Moen gave Wilson cash, for what reason no fellow can find out. It is more than likely that the jury will disagree. If they do not it certain Iy will be surprising.
