A NOVEL JAIL DELIEERY.
Msry Csrsiess On Michigan 10 be Set Ere
Because Improperly Tried.

Mary Csrsiets IN Michixaa 10 be Set Free
Because improperly Tried.
A Detroit special says: There have
been many jail deliveries in Detroit,
but the wholesale legal prison delivery
which is about to be made at the De-
troit House Of Correction is the most
rovel and extensive on record. BY
technical point Of law in the proceedings
under which most Of the convicts sent
from United States courts were
prosecuted, about 125 United States
conyicts now at the House of
Correction are entitled to their
immediate discharge. There are
now about 200 of these prisoners
at that institution. Two thirds Of these
were tried by information. For years
it has been the custom of the United
States courts to try criminal cases by
information, as the machinery Of in
dictment before q grand jury is cum
bersome, expensive, and unsatisfac-
tory. At the Nay term Of the United
States Supreme Court, however, it was
held in the case Of the people against
Wilson that crimes which subject the
convict TO hard labor are :. Infamous"
and cannot be tried except after in
dictment by grand jury. The retro
active result of that decision is most
serious, as the foregoing statement
shows. Besides those sentenced byt two
district courts in this State there are
large number of convicts sent from
other States and the Territories, most
of whom are affected by the decision.
As yet only one outside convict, an
Arkansas forger, has secured his re-
lease, but it is expected that as
soon as the prisoners and their friends
take in the situation business will be
lively. One bank embezzler was re-
leased yesterday and thieving mail
agent to-day. The latter, however, was
at once taken into custody again on
new complaint, and the district attorney
announces that the released men will
be Immediately rearrested and regu-
larly prosecuted by indictment if
large part of their term remains to be
served. The lawyers assert, however,
that second prosecution would be IL
legal, on the ground of putting man
twice in jeopardy for the same offence.
The decision will put the country
to enormous extra expense" said one
Of the clerks of the court this morn
ing. :" 1t will be necessary to call
grand jury every term Of court. Here
tofore it has been called once a year.
Each juror receives travelling fees
averaging 900, and 50 day while in
attendance. The cost of the twenty
three Jurors is about sl,150. 1t will
now be necessary to repeat this expense
three times year in each district court
of Michigan. This is an annual cost Of
about $4,000 in Michigan alone. The
same rule applies to other States"
Another question raised by the de-
cision is the matter Of fines enforced
under informations for infamous
crimes. As these prosecutions are alb
solutely void the fines, as well as the
are illegal. A great
sum IN the aggregate has thus been
paid, but as the only method OF Sc
curing the return Of the money would
be by act Of Congress the prospect Of
relief is not promising.

MEMPHIS, zane 26.--John McKee,
yer (colored), who shot and killed Will
liam j. Trainer, four miles south Of
this city, on the 18th Of last December,
was hanged at 1880 o'clock to-day
within the enclosure Of the county jail.
The condemned man attempted to COM
NIT suicide at midnight last night by
cutting the arteries of his arms and
legs with rough piece Of tin shaped
like n knife, which he made out of
tin snuff-box. When found by the
night turnkey, at 4 o'clock this
morning, he was unconscious from
the loss Of blood. Medical aid
was summoned, and he soon rallied.
Father William Walsh, Of st. Brjdget's
Catholic church. aud Father j. III.
Wood, Catholic priest from Water Val
ley, MISS, afforded him on the scat
fold. When asked by Sheriff Conner
II he had anything to say, he replied ::
" Yes. / am no murderer" Seeing
his attorney among those who were pre-
sent to witness the execution, he called
to him, saying: Good-by, Mr.. Moss.
You bet your life ] am going to die
right" These were his las. words, and
five seconds afterwards the trap was
sprung. Mrs. Trainer, the widow of
the murdered man, occupied a seat on
the scafisld and witnessed her hus-
bands assassin take his leap into eter-

A Vicksburg Miss special says
At Goose lake, in this State, Captain
Jackson was building bridge across
the lake. Near the centre Of the bridge
guy-rope broke, letting the heavy
hammer Of the pile-driyer into the lake.
As it fell it struck one Of the workmen,
and he disappeared nor could he be
found by diving. To recover the ham
mer a coifer-dam was built, eleven feet
of water pumped out, and the hammer
dug up from five feet OF mud. When
recovered the lower surface was bloody,
and the body was apparently buried be-
meath it. The hammer was put in
place and work was resumed. Search
for tie body was abandoned.

COMMENCEMENT ROMANCE.
Two Reading High School Pupils Announce
the Fact OF Their Marriage.

the Fact OF Their Marriage.
A Reading Pa.) special says: A bit
ofromance was developed here to-day
as an incidental of the commencement
exercises of the Reading High School.
During the exercises at the Mishler
Opera-House it was reported through
the audience that, at the close of the
ceremonies, two Of the graduating class
would be publicly married on the stage.
At the close Of the programme the au-
dience was compelled reluctantly to
withdraw without seeing any wedding;
but later in the day it was learned
that the young couple in question had
been quietly welded last April, and
that the marriage had been kept pro-
found secret, save among few friends
who were present at the ceremony.
The bridal couple are Charles P. HoA-
man, aged eighteen, class orator to-day
of the Boys High school, and son of
local clergyman, and Miss Sue Buckley,
aged seventeen, all orphan, and pos

the business centre Of the city worth at
least sl25,000. Since her seventh
year she has lived with her aunt, but
so well was her marriage secret kept
that even the aunt was ignorant Of the
wedding.
This morning, before the commence
ment, the bride left her aunt's house
and took up her residence with her
young husband at the Hoffman home.
1t seems that the young lovers were de-
termined to marry, and the father Of
the groom was persuaded last April to
perform the ceremony, with the under
standing that it should not be made
public until they had graduated. This
afternoon the Hieh-School faculty and
the entire graduating class were very
elegantly entertained by Mr.. Hoffman,
and the young couple received many
valuable gifts. The groom will enter
college and prepare for the ministry.

A Long War.

Exactly ten years ago the Dutch Gov
eminent commenced war at Acheen,
in the North Of Sumatra, which has
continued without interruption down to
last mouth. The forces OF Holland
have been perpetlally engaged, mostly
around the town of Acheen, but occa-
sionally elsewhere in Northern Suma-
ira. The war has weighed down the
Dutch East Indies, the national budget
of which has shown an annual deficit
of from nine to fifteen millions of
forms, caused mainly by it. An army
of about 10000 men has had to be
maintained, fighting almost under the
equator, by constant drafts from Java
and ultimately from home. The result
Of efforts Of such magnitude continued
over ten years has been nothing. The

Ladies, Influence In Merry.

n. Nhinntiy i'll tue LONDON Times.
Asyour st. Petersburg correspondent
has taken the trouble to translate and
to publish that portion OF paper on Q
journey to Merry which relates to the
Russian doings in that newly-con-
quered part of the Turcoman country.
l am sorry that he has omitted the
rather interesting statement by which
we learn that the Empress Of Russia
has also co6perated in the conquest Of
the above-named place. The Russian
writer ofthe said paper, whichappearedin
the Turkestan Gazette, mentions, among
other details. the influence enjoyed by
the widow of the late Chief Makhdum-
kuli Khan among the Merry Tekkes.
This lady, called Gul Djemal, q. e.,
Rose Beauty,) occupies high standing
in Merv, and it is owing to her position
that Alikhanoff succeeded in entangling
these much-dreaded Turcomans in the
plot which resulted in the voluntary
surrender Of the place. We had al
ready during last summer read Of the
presents handed over by Dondoukoff-
Korsakof to that lady, and now we
read in the aforesaid paper that il was
her Majesty the Empress Of Russia
who had sent the richly-orna-
mented, gold-woyen dress to Lady Gui
Djemal as a token Of consideration, aud
that the attention paid by the Empress
to the widow of the late chieftain has
crowned the transactions successfully
begun by the astute Caucasian Alikhs-
noff. Is it not remarkable that the
saying, "Cherchez la femme" can also
find its application among the rude
children Of the desert? Well, Russia
is always conspicuous for the dexterity
Of her dealings with Asistics, and,
since your policy is sadly wanting in
these qualities, it is very natural that
your strictly European Straightforward
dealing is so easily checkmated by your
rival.
