Hoping for Liberty.

Among the numerous and well-to-d0
Cuban colOnists in Philadelphia there is q
strong conviction that events are ripen-
ing for another blow for the freedom of
their native island from Spanish oppres-
sion and robbery. Very many OF these
eXiles were men OF fortune in their own
country, from which they were driven by
a tyranny not exceeded in the civilized
world, their properties cOniiscated and
the ban Of death placed upon them.
Here they have succeeded well in busi-
ness, but their thoughts ever turn back

THE LAWS DELAYS.
An Enraged Father Attempts Vengeance
on the Slayer of His Son.

on the Slayer of His Son.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 12.-This morning in
the Criminal Court an old man drew a
knife, and looking at Frank Weaver, Just
acquitted OF the charge of murder, rushed
at him, caught him by the throat, at the
same time crying out: ''Wretch! you
killed my darling boy; you have escaped
punishment, Frank Weaver, in court,
but l will punish you." The old man
seemed to make motion as If about to
strike, but in an instant a Deputy
sheriff, who had viewed the pro-
ceeding from his office, rushed for
ward and grasped the old mans arm.
Another man came to his help, and while
the old man, quvering with passion,
hurled threats and imprecatlOns at him,
the object Of his attack shrank quietly
down stairs, and passed out OF the build
ing. This exciting episode was the sequel
to transaction which had Just occurred
liz court. illustrating the danger of DELAYS
in criminal prosecutions. On Decem Der
II, 1882, within week of just three years
ago, a young man named Dennis Il.
Hennessey, was murdered on Fifth
street, near Wash. Three
men, named Frank Weaver,
were arrested and indicted for the muir
der. All the witnesses disappeared ex-
cept the principals, and two of them
promised TO turn States evidence against
Weaver to-day. They failed to do so, how
ever, and the case was dismissed for want
OF prosecution. II was the father of
Weaver's victim who attacked him in the
court room, and it was the defendants
brother who assisted the deputy sheriff in
protecting him from outraged justice in
the shape OF an infuriated parent whose
appetite for vengeance had been whetted
rather than sated by three years Of the
laws delays.
