H.C. England VS.. Reuben It. hin, Jr

H u Eu8iduu vs.. NcuUcu Il 1IlA, JE.
This case being an action for the recovery
of damages in the amount of nincty.nine
dollars for trespass on account of dog be-
longing to Hill attacking the plaintiff as he
was entering his own yard, last Summer,
and appointed for trial by Justice of the
Peace Rudolph Watkins on the 10th inst,
was continued to Thursday of last week,
when the trial proceeded. The case having
received considerable notoriety attracted
the attention of so large a portion of the
neighborhood that it became necessary to
occupy the Court House for their accommo-
dation, and Notwithstanding the great dis
comfort Of the room from the need of ade-
quate warmth the proceedings seemed to
hold the continuous attention of the spec
tators
Messrs. Alex. Kilgour, James Dawson and
the plaintiff, Mr.. England, presented the
case, and VIM. Veirs Bouic, Jr., appeared
for the defendant. The case was conduct ed
throughout with great skill and healthy
good humor, though at times little excite
ment was apparent, and the testimony be-
gan to take rather unprofesso nal latitude.
Frequently great deal of honest mirth was
awakened by the originality of Mr. Eng
land and the nature of the testimony elicit.
ed, and at times the gravity of the Justice
seemed to be in rather critical condition.
The examination of the witnesses took up
the entire afternoon, after which the case
was adjourned till 7:15 o'clock, when it was
resumed for the presentation of the argu-.
ment. Messrs. Kilgour and Dawson summed
up the case in painstaking and elaborate
manner, supporting their position with num-
erous authorities. Mr.. Bouic replied to tho
plaintiffs counsel with all the force of his
characteristic good humor and limitless in
genuity, constituting himself formidable
barrier between the plaintiff and the inter-
ests OF his client. Mr.. England made the
closing argument, without notes, and with
exceptional force and eloquence. At times
his elegant and fluent rhetoric and his Wig
orous and graceful oratory and gesticula-
tion presented vivid picture OF the illus
trious Kentuckian, Henry Clay, for whom
he was named, In illustration of color
blindness he told very racy story Of
fellow who told his sweetheart she had the
most beautiful auOurn hair ne ever saw, but
who, after he was married to her, told her
she had the d-dest reddest hair he ever saw.
The arguments OF the several gentlemen en-
gagged in the trial were highly commended
by the many persons whom we heard ex-
press themselves, and Mr.. England's espc.
cially was pronounced TO be his best effort
at this bar.
Judgment in favor OF the plaintiff for $25
and costs was rendered.

4 BLOW F0R TEMPERANCE

New York, Nov. 6.-The archbish-
ops and bishops of Catholic churches
of the United States, at the close of
the third plenaiy council held at Bal
timore in December, 1884, issued \
PASTORAL letter to the clergy and laity
in their charges. The PASTORAL letter,
as usual, contained summary Of de-
crees or rules passed by the council,
and when published, one paragraph
attracted considerable attention. Tt
read as follows;
"Ihere is one way of profaning tbs
Lords day which is SO prolific of esi
results that we consider it our duty to
utter against it our special condemna-
tion. This is the practice of selling
beer or other liquors on Sunday, or of
frequenting places where liquor is sold.
This practice tends more than any
other TO turn tie eday of the Lord into
dissipation and make it an occasion for
breeding intemperancc. While we
hope that Sunday laws OH this point
will not be relaxed, but even more
rigidly enforced, We impIore all Cath
olics, for the love of God and Of the
country, never to take part in such
traffic, nor TO countenence or to pat
ronize it, and we not only direct ths
attention of all pastors to the expires.
sion of this abuse, but we also call up
on them to induce all of their fioeks
that may be engaged in the sale of
liquors to abandon as soon as they can
the dangerous traffic, and to embrace
more becoming way of making liz
ing"
IN A NEW LIGHT.
This straightforward admonition
from the bishops placed the liquor
traffic in a new light in its relation to
the Catholic Church. Upto this time
it had been the general impression
areong those who were not members
of that church that while it did not in
any way encourage the liquor traffic,
it was OF directly opposed to it. When
this pastoral letter appeared, however,
it became evident that the Catholic
Church in America had resolved to de
clare itself opposed to intelnperance and
grog shops There were some who
shruggcdthcir shoulders when they read
the above paragraph, and declared that
they did not believe It would have any
percertible effect upon liquor selling
members OF the church. The matter
has been SO thoroughly brought CUB bes

KHARTOUM.

Wolseley's Expedition to Rescue Gen. Gordon.
There is intense anxiety in England as to
the fate of Gen. Stewart and his gallant little
army. Nothing has been heard of him since
the action near Metemneh on the 18th, and
narrowing rumors are afoat in regard to his
being overwhelmed and his force annihilated,
but nothing definite is known.
The above map will give an idea of the line
of Gen. Wolseley's march on khartoum. and
also shows the march made two years ago by
Gen Hicks The latter officer crossed the des-
ert, going straight from Dongola 20 khartoum,
while Wolseley moved along the Nile from
Korosko southwest to Korti, and from that
point dispatched Gen. Stewart with force of
1900 men across the desert by way of Gakdul
towards Metemneh, % miles from which place
the action alluded to above took place. From
Korti Gen. Wolseley has sent expeditions,
which have opened the river to Abu Hamet.
and from that point line has been established
across the desert direct to KOroSka, the base OF
supplies.
The original intention of Gen. Wolseley was
to follow the Nile right to Khartoum, but by
the time he reached Korti that place was
abandoned in view of the large curve the river
takes to the eastward at that point, aud it was
decided to cut across the desert to Shendy by
way of Gakdul. as shown in the map
The object of the expedition is to clear the
Nile Valley of the hostile tribes and to relieve
zen. Gordon, VINO is hemmed III at hnartouhl,
100 miles to the south of Shendy.
The strategy Of the campaign involves the
old plan, which has been practiced 'ince war
began, of attempting to move converging col
umns upon an objective which in this instance
is Khartoum. The difficulty attendant upon
the execution of such plan is expressed in
Jomini, in his great work on the science OF
strategy, where he says that when two or more
columns are convergng upon one objective
occupied by the enemy, that they should either
be within supporting distance of one another,
or that every one of them should be entirely
capable of taking care Of itself; because the
enemy. having the interior and shorter line,
can concentrate and crush one column before
the others are able to render any assistance.
The English apparently, in their contempt for
the rebels, have violated this rule OF war by
putting their columns out of supporting dis
lance of each other, and making one or more
of them too weak to successfully encounter the
combined force of the enemy.

Ihe Boomers Throw Up lnfrenciiments and Pre-.
pare TO Resist the Troops.
The situation at Oklahoma is becoming very
exciting indeed, and from present appearances
Gen Hatch will have no holiday task in eject
ing the boomers, who have been wonderfully
active during the past few days in preparing to
receive him.
They are determined and belligcrant and
show all the symptoms of fight. They have
brooded over this matter and have become SO
confused over the bungles of treaties, laws,
rulings by the Indian Department and Land
Office decisions that their heads have become
muddled and their brains crazed it is not
strange.
Capt. Couch, who has succeeded Capt. Payne,
is a wel-to-do and successful farmer of Butler
County, Kan. He has been under fire and has
seen service, as have a majority of the boomers
He is a quiet, determined man, temperate in
his habits, free from all buster, but solid, in
dependent and fearless in his movements
The colOnists are fully posted and as fully
prepared as possible. They have thrown up
intrenchments, dug rife pits and built sort
of fort or block house, and are prepared I'M
doubtedly TO give Gen. Hatch warm reception.
The colonists keep themselves fully posted
as to the position of the troops, but it is the
impression among them that the elections
will not be made.

DYNAMITE FIENDS.
The Parliament House and Tower Of London
italy DESTROYED.

The Parliament House and Tower Of London Par.
italy Destroyed.
At few minutes after two o'clock on Satur
day afternoon two terrific explosions of dyna-
mite, one quickly following tie other, occurred
in the Parliament building, wrecking portions
of the palace, SCATTERING every pane of glass,
and wounding more or less severely number
of people
Almost the same moment O similar explosion
took place in the Tower of London, wrecking
the White Tower and wounding men, women
and children by flying glass and splinters. The
tower was fairly filled with visitors at the
moment when the explosion occurred. One
man had one of his legs smashed, and another's
ear was completely severed from his head.
The explosion in tho House of Commons oc-
Cured directly under the strangers gallery.
The gallery was completely wrecked, torn
from its tastenings and thrown in fragments to
the floor Great damage was done also in the
lobby. The masonry, decorations and sculp-
ture were utterly destroyed. The massive
stonework was wrenched from its place, the
glass roof of the House of Commons was shat
tered, the side windows blown out, and a
heavy beam which formed one of the supports
to the gallery was hurled into the Speakers
chair and crushed it.
In Westminster Hall the damage is almost
as great. All the woodwork in that part of the
building was shattered, and wide hole was
was displaced, and even the stonework of the
doorways was either pulverized or wrenched
from its position. The gallery benches were
overturned and broken, and the gallery gene
rally dismantled.
The great ornamental gates leading to the
crypt under Westminster Hall were blown
clear off their hinges and thrown to the ground.
ALI the windows on the north aud south sides
of the immense building were blown to atoms.
The conclusion shook down from the grand
oak roof the accumulated dust of years. This
as it fell made such dense cloud that the Off
GERS on guard became alarmed and dared rot
enter the room. The explosion was preceded
by a binding flash followed by great clouds of
dust.
Had Parliament been in session the result
would have been terrible. Mr. Gladstone's
chair was torn to atoms, and there can be little
doubts as to his fate had he been at the time
occupying his seat.
At both places, the Tower and the Parlia-
jured, though, perhaps with the exception of
one policeman, none fatally. Many of the
hurt were women and children.
Several persons have been arrested, but there
is little evidence, as far as known, against
them.
The greatest Indignation was expressed by
Senators and Representatives here when the
news reached Washington, Mr.. Bayard intro
ducing the following resolution in the Senate:
Rcsoiced, That the Senate of the United States
has heard with Indignation and profound sorrow
of the attempt to destroy the Houses of Parliament
and other public buildings in London, and hereby
expresses its horror and detestation of such mon-
strous crimes against civilization.
Mr.. Edmunds also introduced bill to pre-
vent and punish crimes committed by means
of explosive compounds.

The village of Starucca, in the northern part
of Wayne County, Pa, has been the scene of a
remarkable number of fatal accidents within

physician, fell down stairs and was instantly
killed. A day or two later a team ran away
with ]. b. King and his wife. Mrs. King was
thrown from the wagon and killed. Later,
Peter Hufiling was telling a tree near the viii
lage, the tree fell on him and crushed him to
death. Last week W. III. Stanton was caught
by his clothing in mill shafting and was torn
to pieces. On Friday last William Greiner,
while at work in Osborn's umbrella-stick fac
