THE MAXWELL TRIAL.

The Defendant Somewhat Ueallens Under
the states Rigid Cross Examination.
ST.. LOUIS May 2S.-0nly a small Dor-
tiOn of the crowd who deSircdst to hear the
proceedings in the Maxwell case were al
lowed to enter the criminal court room Yes
terday morning, and large number OF
those who did gain admiitanre were ordered
TO leave by the judge, who feared the floor
would fall under such a heavy weight.
Mr.. Fauntieroy of The defense continued
the direct examination of the prisoner. He
asked the defendant why his parents had
not come TO him when he stood charged
with such a heinOus crime. The prGstca-
tion objected and were sustained.
The defendant in continuation of his
story gave an account OF his return from
Auckland in charge of officers; he ac-
knowledged meeting the detective McCu!-
Tough, who testified against him, but said
The detectives whole statement was all i'll
famous lie from beginning to end"
At the close of the direct examination
the prosecution subjected the defendant la
q severe cross-eXGInination, in which he con
lradicted himself in several points. Osie
was as TO when he wrote certain marginal
notes in medical book. Some things lie
could not remember: other faulty memory
he attributed to the liquor lie had taken.
When asked if he purchased tic
champagne drank while on the way
10 California with Prelier's money, the
reply was. Il don't know When shown
a forged diploma and asked where lie got it,
he replied he wrote it, ard when asked why,
replied: Simply as an exercise of penmaA-
ship to keep myself in practice" Many
other questions were evaded or answered in
an unsatisfactory manner.
The further promised sensation in taa
Maxwell trial has been uncovered and ccil-
sists in the fact that after it WAS definitely
learned that he would acknowledge Ih,
killing claiming it TO be The Result OF an
accident in treating Prefer Tor structure,
the prosecution had the remains exnuInt-i
and examined. and, it is said, found posi-
lively that Preier was not suffering from
the disease. for which Maxwell said he MS

THE DOMINION.

Premier Fielding. of Nova Scotia, Thinks
Confederation Has Proved a Failure.
HALIFAX, \. s., May 29.-In An address
inst issued by Premier Fielding the follow
ing occurs. "In the opinion of the Govern
ment the time has come when the people of
Nova Scotia should once more make an eff
Tort TO obtain n release from the union into
which they were forced. The disSatistac-
lion is so wide and deep that many are
heard to say that no change could be for
the worse. Some of those who were the
warmest advocates of confederation in 1867
are now the most OutSpOken in expressions
of hostility TO it. After the failure of the
repeal legislation OF 1869 TO accom-
piish its main purpose, the peO-
pie settled down, not cheer
fully, it must be admitted, to make the best
of the situation. Give the union fair
trial. said some 1t has had q long and
more than fair trial, and the verdict against
x is more emphatic than before. We were
assured by the fathers OF the confederation
that tie affairs of the Dominion could be
carried on for twenty years or more at an
annual cost of S11,O00,000 or 100000
but the expenditure now exceeds the enor-
nous sum of $50, 00O, 900, while the inter
est and charges IN connection with the pub
lie debt absorbs nearly as much as we were
told would pay the total expense of the
Government"

CHOLERA PREVENTION.
1nutility of Coercive Guarantees and the
Advantages of Sanitation.

1nutility of Coercive Ouarantines and the
Advantages of Sanitation.
At a lecture in Exeter Hall, London,
Sir Joseph Fayrer, the distinguished
Indian physician, said that though the
real cause of cholera was still I'M
known, yet the laws which affected It's
production, development and diffusion
had been so far ascertained by observa-
ton that, happily, the measures by
which its progress might be stayed and
its fatality mitigated were now suf-
ticiently well known as to come well
within the scope of sanitary work.
Hence all We're agreed as to the pre-
vcntivc effect of measures of sanitation.
Sir Joseph Fayrer rejected the theory
Of cOntagion by personal intercourse,
and therefore condemned in strong
terms the inutility of all coercive meas
urcs of quarantines and cordons. The
British and Indian Governments, who
based their action in the matter on we'll
ascertained facts, had wisely discon-
tinued all quarantine measures on both
sea and land, and relied solely upon
sanitary laws. And here, remarked
the lecturer. he came to the lesson
which he wished to impress earnestly
on every one Of them, and which was
main object of his lectures-what it
behOoves each individual of the COM
munity to do, whether as regarded
himself or the town in which he lived,
when cholera manifested itself in the
country. As he believed that in per-
feet sanitation lay the sole means Of
preventing the disease, SO if it ap-
peared among them every person
should be scrupulOusly careful in his
living and clothing as means of pro-
lection. Let them be moderate and
careful in diet, avoid all depressing in
tiuences, Over-fatigue, chills, violent
alterations of temperature, impure
water, unripe fruit, the use of aperient
medicines, unless professionally or
dercd, especially all those medicines of
a saline nature. Good ventilation, per-
feet drainage, prevention of over
crowding-all those things should be
secured in every town and village in
the country.-M Y. Observer.

He Can't Take Lawyers Jokes, and Proves
Himself Very DisagreeabIe.
Two Dakota lawyers recently had
some trouble with a new Judge and
were discussing the subject. Said
one:
"You got thirty days or one hun
dred dollars, did you?"
"Yes."
PAY the fine?"
NO, couldn't. Thought thirty days
in Jail was good enough fo7 me.
What'd he fine you?"
Fifty dollars"
''Pay it?'
Yes; that is. my wife's father did "
''Of course-I didn't suppose you
raised it yourself. What was it you
called the old judicial snoozer?'>
Il was telling him that his counte-
nance reminded me of a freight-car
which had been to smash-up, and
that in his various rulings he leaped
about from wrong ideas 10 untenaole
premises like an insane jack-rabbit-
when he SOcked it onto me-"
Yes. Now that's the usual talk
and the old judge never objected. 1
put it a little stronger and told him
that | could only explain the unheard-
of rulings of the court by the SUPPOSE
ton that they came from man with a
spawned intellect, and then threw my
coat and hat and yelled: Come down,
you ancient antiquity, and I'll whale
enough sense into your shattered mind
so that you can hold a position at
pounding sand with a ball club! Lem
my get ut you and disfigure the fair
face of nature by scattering your
worthless remains around this judicial
district He said it would be one
hundred dollars or thirty days, and
then went on and decided the case
against me-"
Yes, that's the way it goes-it
seems he can't take a joke. 1t strikes
me that if the Government is going to
send many more of these kind of
judges out here that the entire Terri
torial bar will be in jail. If this is
the way they are going to work it there
don't appear to be much encourage
ment for lawyer to take right hold of
a case in earnest and make Rome open
her mouth clear back 10 her ears and
howl. ''-EStciIine Cd. ~ Bell.
