Special 10 ne RegiEiT.
PARxKRsBURG, July 2O.-Ths Wood
County Court room was the scene to-day of
q sensational bastardy suit. A youthful der
fendant and hand handsome young lady
with threementhsOld baby in her arms,
and the tact Of their respectable family con-
nection made the case of unusual interest.
The court room was crowded to its utmost
capacity. The most sensational feature Of
the trial was, when the fair young plaintiff
with her offspring on the witness stand, In
relating the circumstances connected with
the event charged that the defendant had
given her some candy, which, for . few
minutes bewildered her and made her feel so
queer thai she did not care what she did,
and while in this mental state the young
man robbed her virtue, and the young
eherub which she exhibited to the jury was
the result of his viIlisny. The story
is discredited, but the babe bears
q striking resemblance to the young man
charged with paternity. His name is Jos.
Stewart, aged Is, q son Of 9 well to do
farmer of good family connections. The
plaintiff, Mary Petit, Is twenty years of age,
of the semi-brunette type of beauty, with
regular features, and Is 3 handsome, modest
girl who, previous to the unfortunate event
had borne 9 good character. The jury
rendered verdict ofguilty and that Stewart
maintain the child for seven years. Nc
Clure was for the State and Leonard for
the defense. Five bastardy suits are on the
docket for tomorrow.
The Federal Court arguments in the
Deysughn case were opened by Attorney
General Flick, followed BY Hutchinson and
Vsndervort. Flick closes tomorrow.

Jay and urged that the Government guar
autee an advance of 100000 from the
Bank of Ireland, to tide the institution
Ghich they represent over its present embar-
rassment. said such matters were entirely
outside the Governments province aud
hat such action as the committee request
d would be warranted only when ma
ional calamity was threatened.
The Viceroy explained that the govern
ment would be unable to aid the bank d.
rectly having on Friday last promised to use
his influence to secure government aid by
saying that in his first state nent he meant
to express his personal sympathy With losers
b7 the banks suspension and his desire
TO render them such assist
snce as lay within his power.
Since then be had understood that it was
outside the power of the Government to
give such aid except in case Of q panic,
which seemed imminent few days ago,
and thus prevent public calamity. Matters
had since then taken a more favorable turn
and the Munster Banking Company ought
now 10 be able to resuscitate the bank with

There are dark hours in most lives,
when the threads in ones hand hy into
an apparently hopeless tau lie. and the
fair design that was beginning to dis
cover itse in the life is for the moment
lost entirely; eyeryth ng seems to turn

darkness that becomes impenetrable.
