rne snarpssss murder.

CHESTER, Pa, Nov. 28.--John Car
p6nter, the colored man arrested on
suspicion Of being the Sharpless muir.
|erer, was given hearing before Mayor
Forwood this morning. The court was
crowded with people anxious to see the
suspected man. The only witness ex-I
amined wasChief OF Police Williamson,
who gave an account of the arrest of
the prisoner and q detailed description
of the dramatic scene enacted at the
Sharpless mansion yesterday, when
the prisoner confronted Mrs. Sharpless
and the other ladies of the household.
Carpenters lawyer would permit no
evidence except that which
the witness knew Of hisown knowledge,
and wordy war ensued between the
lawyer and the Mayor. The latter or.
dered the prisoner committed to the
city jail until Wednesday next, when a
further hearing viii be given. This
will allow the officers time TO work up
the case against him, IL 1t can be done.
1t 10 thought that the defence will try
TO prove an alibi.
Henry 9. Bolt, of Giydon, q town in
Baltimore County, Md, telegraphed the
Chief of Police on Sunday night that
he had arrested the colored man who
had murdered John Sharpless. Bolts
positive language seems to mystify the
officials here. They are unable to
communicate with the place at this
hour and will do nothing further In the
case until more particulars are received
from Glydon.
On Saturday afternoon about 8 o.
clock, Sergeant McVey, of our city,
noticed colored man on Shipley street
near Front acting In very suspicious
Kind OF manner. As soon rs tile man
saw the Sergeant he turned around and
started up Shipley street to Third, and
from that out Third to Tatnall, then up
Tatnall to Fourth, and from thence
back to Shipley and down to Third
again. The Sergeant kept his eye on
him, and finally. at Third and Shipley
streets, took him into custody. when
he was arrested he shook like an aspen
leaf and turned pale. He answers the
description gwen of the murderer In
every respect, and his pants were satu.
rated with blood.
blood on his pants, he said it was
caused by his nose bleeding, to which
he was subject. ae gave his name as
Edward Ringgold, and said that when
be was in Wilmington he stopped at an
old colOred woman'e house on Lafayette
street. When the Sergeant applied to
the colorei weman for information, she
informed him that Ringgold came home
at O'Clock on Sunday morning last,
and then she said he came home at 2
O'Clock the Saturday evening previous,
Il but she say she never knew Ringgold
TO suffer with bleeding at the nose. he
has asked for the cause of his arrest,
but that Information is withheld from
him. He appears very i'll at ease, and
the Sergeant says IL he is not the man,
no answers every description OF him.

THE REVENUE AND PUBLIC DEBT

In regard to the slight increase OF.
the public debt, shown by the De-
cember statement, Secretary McCul-
luch says it is due to the fac. that
there has been a great falling off in
revenue receipts, and not to any un-
usual expenditure during the month,
He says that for the past two months
the Treasury has been feeling the ef-
feet of the general depression of bull
ness all over the country. and the
revenues have decreased. In the
meantime the expenditures have
kept up to the highest point. those
for pensions slightly increasing.
The Secretary says, however, the in
dications are that the statement for
this month will show a diminution
Of the public debt again. The pros
poets for renewed business activity
throughout the country are encourage
ing, and should they mature, the
revenues Of the country will assume
their usual proportions.

CONSUMPTION Of NEAT.

The statistics of the cattle trade
contains some very interesting tables
for the consideration of Western stock
growers, as showing the consumption
of meat in large cities. During the
year 1884 New York City alone con-
sumed 4l9, $50 beeves, 199, 2:ss5 calves,
l,949, 1872 sheep and l,7O3,sl7 hogs.
During the same year the exports of
meat from that port were, 152,247
beeves, 81 AZ sheep and 1884 hogs.
Of the -beeves consumed 8 1900 were
raised west Of the Missouri river. A
surprising feature of the trade is the
amount OF mutton required In that
market the receipts averaging nearly
5000 sheep each week. The fact
that the price of mutton was lower
than it0has been before In twenty
years may explain the increase Of
consumption. 1t is said that export
ers of live stock and fresh meat lost
An aggregate If not less than $500, 900
during the year, and prices must ad-
vance In Europe before they can ex-
pect any profits, The amount Of
meat annually consumed in New
York must seem appalling to a
vegetarian.

The Supreme Court,

WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-Justice
Miller and Field dissented from the
Clawson decision. A decision was
also rendered in the state rights
bridge case. John T. Cardwell ap.
pellant against the American River
Bridge Company The appeal was
from the United States circuit c)urt
district of California. This is a suit
brought by the appellant. who is the
owner of valuable lands and stone
quarries on the American river in
California to epjoin appellee. a bridge
company, from maintaining a bridge
without a draw across that river thus
Obatructing its navigation. AS the
bridge was duly authorized by the
law OF the state the bridge company
filed q demurrer to the bill of COM
plant and it was sustained by the
circuit court. This court holds first ;
az it has held in many previous
cases. dat the power of states to
authorize the construction Of bridges
over navigable streams is subordinate
to that of congress but until congress
acts such power is supreme.
Second, That the section of the
act admitting California into the
United States, which provides that
''she shall be admitted on equal foot.
ing with the original States in all re-
spects whatever" supercedes the
section which provides that all navi-
gable waters within the said State
shall be common highways for ever
free, etc California, therefore, is not
deprived of the latter provision of
any powers which the original States
possess over such waters within their
limits. The decision of the circuit
court is affirmed.

Clawson's PolySamy Case.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l9.-The su.

polygamy Case Of Rutger Clawson,
appellant, rs. the United States, on
appeal fiom the supreme court of
Utah Clawson, the appellant, hay-
Ing been found guilty by the Jury of
the crime of polygamy and unlawful
cohabllation, and 0uly sentenced to
pay u fine aggregating $500 and i'm.
prlsOnment tvr fur years. He an
pealed to the supreme court of the
territory, and, peudlug judgment on
such appeal, applied to the court that
sentenced HIM for release upon suit
able BAIL, The Judge denied the
application on the ground the defend
ant ought not to be admitted to hail
after conviction and sentence, unless
some extraordinary reason had been
given. Clawson thereupOn sued
out q writ of habeas corpus in
the supreme court of the TERRITORY
and prayed Tor release upon the
ground the court below had unlaw.
fully refused to admit him to bail.
The supreme court overruled the pe-
titiOn and remanded the prisoner to
the custody Vt the marshal, wheruron
he took the present appeal to this
court. This court holus that mas
much as the judgment of the third
judicial court III which the prisoner
was tried. did not impose upon him
a fine only, but also Imprisonment.
his admission to bail, pending the
appeal from that judgment, is dis
tinct)y committed. by the laws of
Utah, to the discretion Of the court
or Judge to whom the application for
ball may be made. The supreme
court Of Utah Was therefore right in
.overrul'ng the petition and remand
Ing the prisoner to the CUSTODY of the
