A Client Demands Protection n.

A few days ago, in the District
Court, prisoner, who lad been de-
Tended by one of our young lawyers
(who had been appointed by the court)
received the highest penalty the law
allows for horse stealing, fifteen years.
After the verdict was announced this
lawyer was observed to speak excitedly
to his client whereupon the client
stood up and told the judge that he
looked to him for protection.
His Honor, Judge Noonan, replied
that the sheriff would see that his rig hts
were not interfered with.
"Bht that is not what I mean,' urg-
ed the prisoner.
"What do you mean:?" inquired the
Judge, kindly.
II want you to protect me. This
young man you 'pinted to defend me
says he is gwine to ask you to give me
new trial, and want you to protect
me, judge"
And now that young lawyer tells
people that he won't defend pauper
criminals without being paid for it, not

Extension Of the Special Baggage Deliv-
cry to Seashore Resorts.

Extension Of the Special Baggage Deliv-
cry to Seashore Resorts.
The success the Special Baggage Delivery
system, inaugurated little more than a month
ago by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has
been so marked, and the appreciation extended it
by the travelling public so cordial, that the Com
pany has determined to extend the system to the
prominent seashore resorts on the Atlantic coast.
It is hardly necessary to say anything further in
praise of the advantages of this system as its
merit is apparent, and its simplicity and value
commend it to the consideration of travellers.
Since its Inauguration thousands of pieces of bag
gage have been handled without an error in trans.
mission or default in delivery at the proper ad-
dress. The same general principles obtain in the
application of the system to the seashore points.
The traveller from New York. Philadelphia, Bal
timore, or Washington may deliver his baggage
at any time in advance of his own departure, to
the local Transfer Company, have it addressed to
any hotel or cottage at Long Branch, Cape May,
Atlantic City, prepay the fee of Sl00, take the
receipt of the forwarding company, and on arrival
OF destination will find that his baggage has pre-
ceded him. Under this arrangement the art of
travelling is so simplifed, that ladies travelling
clone certlaman who sana-nlly clad e. re-
leve themselves of the incumbrance of baggage,
may impose the entire responsibility of the hand
ling of their trunks on the Transfer Company.
Travel under these circumstances resolves itself
into the single task of making ones self comfort
able-a thing most easy of accomplishment on the
wel-appointed trains of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company.
The Union Transfer Company of Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington, and the New York
Transfer Company of New York, will take orders
at their offices in the respective cities, ship the
baggage, and deliver it into the hands of their
agents at point of destination, who will place it
at its ultimate address,

MB- In New York city boycott was instituted
against concert saloon and the men engaged in
the work placarded the place, handed infamma-
tory circulars to passers by and in many other
ways tried to nure the business of the proprietor,
who was finally obliged to pay 81, 900 to have the
boycott discontinued. He then had the leader of
the gang arrested for interfering with his business
and few days ago he was convicted. In render
ing his decision in the case the judge said:
"Workingmen may combine together to better
their condition, and to get better wages, but they
may not combine to conspire to interfere with the
business of man by forcing people not to deal
with him. We have to consider sixty or hum
dred men, who combine not to advise in friendly
way that people do not trade with the man, but
getting men to walk up and down in front OF his
premises, handing out circulars, DC. They may
not make any threats use any force, but still be
guilty of what the law calls intimidation.
This boycotting business worked differently in
Baltimore city. stiefs' piano men went on strike
because their employers would not discharge
trusted foreman who had been with the firm TWEEN
ty years. The strikers refused to return to work
and managed, through intimidation and other
means, to keep any new men from taking their
places. These strikers went so far as to fol-
low the Steff piano wagons about the streets with
other wagons upon which were placards, painted
in glaring letters, with "Boycott Stief's Pianos"
upon them. Yet the newspapers had no words OF
condemnation for this species of rascality and the
officers of the law paid no attention to it. These
fellows should have been served as their brothers
in New York were, and the example would have
had good effect in deterring others from follow
ing their example.

re- Wednesday, June both, marked an inter-
esting and important event in the Catholic Church
of America when the very Rev. James Gibbons,
Archbishop of Baltimore, was elevated to the dig
nifty of Cardinal and became a member of the
Sacred College or Senate of the Roman Catholic
Church, which carries with it the right to vote
for successor to the Pope. The ceremonies OF
investiture took place at the Cathedral in Balti-
more and were of most grand and impressive
character, and were witnessed by thousands of
people: ~, =. -, -. 8, :.
his residence, Bloomington Illinois, for some time,
died on Saturday morning last. He was native
of Cecil county, Md, and was born March 9th,
1915. At the age of seventeen he graduated at
Kenyon College, Ohio, after which he entered a
law Office at Lenox, Mass, where he remained two
years. He then attended the Tale Law School for
one year, after which he went West and located in
Illinois, becoming prominent in his profession as
well as in politics. At the age of thirty three he
was elected circuit judge, which office he filled for
three terms. In 1860 he was delegate to the
Chicago convention which nominated Lincoln for
President, and was one of his warmest supporters,
his nomination being mainly due to the efforts of
Judge Davis. In 1862 President Lincoln appoin-
ted him Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. In 1872 the National Labor Reform party
nominated Judge Davis for President, but be de-
clned to be candidate after the National Liberal
party nominated Horace Greeley. In 1877 he was
elected U. S. Senator from Illinois, by combina-
ton of Independents and Democrats, and his term
expired March Sd, 1888, when he retired to pri-
vate life. Judge Davis owned thousands of acres
of real estate in Illinois, besides other valuable
property. A second wife and two children by his
first marriage survive him.

@-THE UNION of last week referred editorial
ly to the acquittal of a man named Thompson, in
the Hartford county Circuit Court when it was
clearly and conclusively proven that he guilty
of the crime as charged in the indictment, viz of
stealing lot of harness. This was the case in
which Judge Waters characterized the verdict of
the jury the most extraordinary and remarka-
BILE one he had ever known in his experience upon
the bench. Referring to this verdict the Agis
says: at is matter of little consequence to the
public whether Thompson, as an individual, was
convicted acquitted, but it is matter of serious
concern when juries render verdicts that are
directly against the evidence in the case. The
administration of justice should be impartial, free
and fair, but juries not constituted solely to
acquit, under any and all circumstances, if their
consciences will permit them to do SO. They owe
q duty to the public as we'll as to the individual
on trial. They are sworn to try cases according
to the evidence and render true verdicts and
while all reasonable doubts must be resolved in
favor Of the accused, juries should remember that
to evil-doers. Otherwise the fabric of civil gov
eminent will be destroyed Verdicts like the one
in Thompson's case are not only against public
policy but against common sense"
