a PUBLIC NUISANCE.
a Glue Factory Makes a Smell and
Citizens indignant in Paris.

William and Adolph Messerschmidt, of the
township of Paris. are accused by their
neighbors of maintaining public nuisance.
The information sets forth that they did
erect certain buildings near the public high
way, also near certain ancient public
stream OF water also near the dwelling OF
houses of divers citizens for the purpose of
manufacturing CLUES and tallows; that they
did set up furnaces, stoves, cauldrons, boil
ers and watts and did use them for boiling
hoof. horns and bones, from which divers
noxous offensive and unwholesome smokes
vapors. smells and stenches did arise until
the neighborhood could not rest; and that
certain unwholesome, vile and noxious
scums and liquids polluted the pure currents
of the ancient stream so that IL could not be
used for culinary or domestic purposes, and
that the cattle could not drink therefrom,
all of which it is asserted is against the peace
and dignity of the people of Michigan. The
Messerschmidts were arraigned before jus
tice Westfall yesterday and the investiga-
tion of the glue factory will come off on
Thursday of next week.

INTERNATIONAL COURTESY.
Shall a Canadian be Allowed 10 Plead

DETROIT Jan. 2l.-The examination of JAS.
and Alfred Henderson, the London, Ont,
colored desperadoes who were arrested here
last week. is in progress before Commis-
sioner Davidson. Chief of Police Williams,
of London, and the crown attorney, are pres
ent In the interest of the Canadian govern
ment. James Henderson was fully identi-
fed as one of the persons who stabbed Con-
stable Nichols and William Palmer.
There has been quite discussion among
the officials in the United States Court as TO
the right of Crown Attorney Hutchison, of
London, To appear In proper person III an
American court, as 1T Is claimed that Ameri-
cans are not allowed to appear in any Cana
dian courts, even on extraditlon matters.
Commissioner Dawson, however, i'll spite
of adverse criticisms, ruled that Mr..
Hutchison be allowed TO conduct the exam
nation. He SAID he was guided by a com
mon sense view of the matter and one by
which the interests of justice were best
served, adding, that if the Canadian res
friction were such that prevented an Ameri-
can attorney from appearing, that was no
reason why this great country should follow
an example that was evidently pernicious."

Holiday Tragedies North and South.
Chicago Herald.
The number and the character Of
the tragedies that have occurred in the
South during the past week show very
clearly that the practice of going
armed TO weddings, church sociables
and q ristmas dances has not been
done sway with In that section. From
more than 3 dozen points south of the
Ohio river murders at holiday social
gatherings are reported.
During the same period the TRACE
dies ut the North were of a different
kind, embracing in most cases crimes
against women and in some instances
crimes by women, such as ehlld-mur-
der and suicide, growing out Of
suffering and despair. OF five wife
murders reported four were in North
ern states and one in Missouri, q state
whose population now has more of the
characteristics OF the North than OF
the South. The crimes against women
at the South were committed by
negroes while at the North the guilt y
PARTIES were white men. Not one
trag dy at q dance, wedding or other
merry-making was reported at the
North.
Accounting that the homicides North
and South were committed principally
by low and depraved people, IL will be
seen that il that class at the South
could furego the pleasure of carry
ing concealed weapons at all
times and places the Southern
states would be likely 70 show
much cleaner criminal record
than the North. 1T is not to be sup
posed that these ballroom shootings
are premeditated, while mos5 of the
tragedies occurring at the North are
in one way or another anticipated, be-
ing the result of jealousy, intemper-
auce, greed "a despair.
The holiday murders ut the Sou h
grow out of q recklessnees of human
nfe, the habit of giving the passions
full play, a false sense of chivalry aud
honor, ana the convenience OF fire.
arms il that irrational idea could he
ersdicated from Southern society of
every condition, we fear that the Grim
inal records Of the two sections could

The reluctance of Mntshal Wright
of Cincinnati TO answer questions put
to him by the investigating commit
tee ia not more than natural IL is the
reluctance Of every criniusl to expose
his mIsdeeds. He twists aud turns 10
avoid telling the truth as to the char
soter Of his deputy marshals, aud the
motives which induced him 10 a.
point such men, when reputable uer-
SONS might have been had. But
though Mr., Wright may endeavor to
conceal the facts from an investigating
committee Of congress, the press of
Cincinnati is turning flood Of light
on his transactions The Enquirer OF
that city publishes oompete list of
the deputy marshals appointed to
"preserve ordern on the day Of the
state election, OFT, IA One huudr d
and eighteen of them could not write
their names, and signed an "Nn when
drawing their pay Pretty characters,
truly, to arm and invest With authority
over the lives and liberties OF A merioan
citizens
As TO the moral character of these
deputy marshals, the Enquirer says
iii there arc scoundrels and pimps IN
the community or in the neighboring
PROVINCES of Kentucky or Indiana who
arc not in the list it is because Mr..
Wright erred in overlooking them. 1t
was not intentional on his part, by
any means, and it must be remem.
b red, also, that in getting together
over fourteen hundred real tough men
some pretty decent fellows may slip In.
This probably accounts for the fact
that there are few men in the
list who make pretensions to respacta-
bility, but taking them as a job lot, the
preponderance OF thieves and muir.
derere damns the whole list. Nearly
all Of them register from Cincinnati or
this county, but Il is notorious fact
that 0per cent OF them are not resi-.
dents OF The county or city. aud that
