Court adjourned sine die.
NOTES.

In the cases of A. NJ. Franklin, after the evidence on behalf of the Territory was given, his attorneys moved that the Court instruct the jury to a verdict of ''Not Guilty, the evidence of the Territory not warrahting or sustaining the charges in the indictments. The motion was sustained, ,and the court so instructed the jury, who, with out leaving the jury box in one voice exclaimed Mot Guilty. The verdict was well received and acquiesced in by all who were present. Thus has the stigma which has rested upon the good name and character of Franklin been cast to the wind to rebound on those who so unjustly placed it there.
 In the case of Chris. Glennon, after 43 hours of constant work, the jury upon the last instructions brought in a verdict of Guilty. By an able legal effort his counsel, H. M. Patterson and Jas. Hall. had upon motion a new trial granted.
 The Judge in passing sentence upon the prisoners acted with a great amount of judicial clemency giving in all cases weight to re marks madein behalf of prisoners, where and when he believed from the evidence the cause was deserv- ing.
 Judge Barnes was serenaded by the Solomonville string band as- sisted by Prof A. F. Riddle.

Annie Allen, alias Cornish Ami,

MONTREAL, June 12.-Itis estimated
that at least 10000 people we2ein the
Church Of Notre Dame this morning.
The ceremony was most impressive.
The dead Archbishop Icy in magnif-
cent coffin, his head resting on pillow
of satin slightly raised SO that his
features were exposed to the gaze of
the faithful thousands. His rnitre,
stole and cross lay at his feet. The
whole was elevated on a magnificent
catafalque surrounded by hundreds of
lighted tapers. Throughout the night

manned with the body reciting prayers

A Courthouse Wreck.

At Theirs, a town in the Department of
Puy-de-Dome, France. a murder trial had
been in progress for some days. On the
10th, the last day of the trial, the court
house was crowded with men and women
anxious to witness the closing scenes. When
the people were leaving, Immediately after
the adjournment of the court, and were
damned upon the stone stairway leading to
the street. the lofty staircase fell The
scene thatfollowed was appalling. Immense
masonry from above crashed down upon
struggling people below, grinding through
their flesh and bones and manning and
mutilating them in horrible manner. The
crash of the falling staircase and the
shrieks of the people lying helpless in the
ruins caused a panic in the courtroom, and
there was rush for the now wrecked exit
Those who were in front were unable to
withstand the pressure from behind and
were hurled down upon the men and women
crushed in the fall of the staircase, and
whom the people in the street were already
striving to rescue. When, at length, the
panic had exhausted itself, and the immense
stone steps of the fallen staircase had been
removed, twenty-four persons were taken
from the ruins dead. The injured numbered
not less than 1913, and many of these will
die of their injuries.

THERE is an insect known as the
elm-tree beetle that has quite general
~ attacked the elm trees of our East
ern States. The United States Agri-
cultural Department has issued a re-
port on the habits of the insect and
the most effective means of protecting
the foliage of the elm against it's raw
ages. The eggs are deposited on the
under side of the leaves in groups, and
the Larvae subsist on the leaves for
about two weeks, when they fall to
the earth and change to pupa. But
there are several generations each year,
and the trees are liable to their raw
ages from May to August. Several
modes of extirminating them have
been experimental with. The one rec
commended as the most simple and
satisfactory is to syringe the trees
with Paris green or London purple,
the latter being preferred as less in
furious to the trees. Three-fourths Of
pound of the poison and three quarts
of -four to a barrel of water will make
the mixture of sufficient strength.

How Cyrus Field Does Business.

Most people have an idea that Cyrus
w. Field is a rich stock operator.
This idea has been made more general
of late by his great effort to ad
vance Manhattan. Field is not an &C
tive speculator at all. His plan is en-
tirely different from Gould's. He buys
a lot of stock outright, and then
booms it to sell it outright. l do not
think he has ever been a bear in the
ordinary sense. He has not made "a
practice of selling stocks short to Sc
cure the profits of that side OF the
market. Hehas, however, been known
to employ means to depress the price
in order to buy a stock and then hold
it for the subsequent rise. Field IS not
an enormously wealthy man. On
paper his fortune foots up something
like S3,OOO,OOO. His personal char
acteristics are striking. He likes to
shake hands with one finger, and II he
particularly wants to impress a per-
son with something, he will throw his
arm around the PERSONS neck and be-
gin. ''Now, my dear Christian friend"
He has a reputation in the "street"
for slamming office doors. On enter
ing an office he will give the door a
slam that threatens to SILVER the
glass, If there is a pane in it, and on
leaving the office he will give the door
a second slam that nearly pulls the
screws out of the hinges.

A CONVICT in a Pennsylvania peni-
tentiary killed his keeper, and his
counsel, in default of any better plea,
tried to save him from the gallows by
the claim that he was of unsound
mind. There was evidence enough
that the man was not in a perfectly
normal mental condition when he
committed the murder, and experts
were ready to testify that he ought
not to be held responsible. But the
court ruled that "mere moral obliqui-
ty OF perception" should not protect
a person from punishment for DELHI
crate act, and that "moral insanity"
is not a sufficient defense unless it be
shown that it is potent enough to
''subjugate the intellect, control the
will, and render it impossible to do
otherwise than yield" In other
words, a man may labor under delu-
sion, hallucination or partial insanity,
vet if he understands the nature of
his act and knows that it is wrong, he
must be held responsible.

CHICAGO, H., June 12-The United
States Senate select committee on in
ter-state commerce began a session
here this forenoon. Senators Cullom,
Harris and Platt were present on be-
half of the committee. John [. Rina-
ker, president of the state railway
commission, was before the commit
tee, and favored the appointment
Of a federal commission, but was
opposed to the proposition OF permit
ting railways to charge less for long
than for a short haul. He believed in
requiring that rates should be given
publicity. He thought any law pre-
scribing rates should be elastic rather
than specific. Marshall Field believed
in a government commission, but
thought it should devoted its attentions
more to new roads than old estab-
lished ones. He believed in legalizing
pool contracts, and believed that rail
way pools were a benefit to merchants.

Illinois Railway Commission, believed
in a federal commission to work in
conjunction with the state commits

How the conquerors of one genera

Says the New York Times: No more
need our Western farmers blanch and
tremble before the multitudinous grass
hopper. Nay, we ought now rather
to hail his approach, to sigh for his
coming. For here comes Prof. Riley
of Washington and proclaims that
your grasshopper is not only a long
neglected edible, but a forgotten dainty,
a delicate, toothsome morsel capable
of being saute in hot fat to BROWNIES
and crispness, or stewed in milk, like
the gelatinous oyster. Let him-not
Prof. Riley, but the grasshopper-
come, then! Armed with natures
own weapons we will turn out to the
fray. What matter if he eat our
wheat fields to-day if we with vengeful
consuming jaw devour him tomorrow
Vast possibilities open before us. II
he proves so delicious q morsel fresh,
why should he not be good sailed or
picked, or canned, or packed in oil
like sardine? Verify the world
moves; there is hope for progress still.
Nature is agrand conservator. As the
Holsters and shrimp disappear, the
grasshopper may skip in to supply
their place, and thus the equilibrium
of nature be preserved.

A Brown Pocket-Bo Stuffed With
Wealth Exhumed in Texas.
Fort WORTH, Tex, June 12.-In ex-
cavating, yesterday, workmen ex-
humed an old brown pocket-book in a
good state OF preservation which con-
tanned papers covering transactions
aggregating nearly 100000. Among
the contents are certificates of deposit
in the Waco National Bank and
Hill County National Bank amounting
to several thousand dollars, also
g, promissory note, Cancelled, aggregat-
ing over $4,000. Besides these were
bills Of exchange amounting to So, OOO
The certificates of deposit are in favor
of A. Treadwell. The bills of exchange
are also drawn in his favor. Tread

and dated November 80 last, and used
only as far as Fort Worth. The find
is shrouded in mystery If Treadwell

THE pension appropriation act,
passed by the last congress, and which
becomes operative on July 1, provides
that after that date no vacancies oc-
curing in the clerical force of the pen
sion bureau shall be filled by appoint
ment or promotion until the numeri-
cal force, as it now exists, shall be re-
duced $50. This practically directs a
reduction of the present force, and,
after July 1, further appointment to
the pension bureau cannot be made
for at least one year.
