THE TITUS CASE,

The Jury in the Titus case yesterday returned
a verdict of murder in the first degree This
is a surprising conclusion to a remarkable case
and those who have followed the proceedings
most closely will be least capable of under
standing the action of the panel. The evidence
in the case was throughout wholly crcum-
stantisl. The prosecution did mt produce any
testimony connecting the defendant directly
with the crime. Many scattered incidents and
observations when brought together tended
to throw suspicion upon Titus, and his personal
demeanor was no doubt such as to strengthen
that suspicion, especially in the minds of men
accustomed to regard every sign of pertur-
baton and mental suffering in an accused per-
son as an indication of guilt. But the facts
brought ont on the trial certainly did not
amount to demonstration OF guilt, and there
were so many circumstances IN the case incom-
patible with the theory of Tituss crimnalIty
that a verdict of murder in the first degree
could only have been reached by refusing to
the defendant that which was his clear right,
namely the benefit of the doubt which every
unbiased and intelligent examiner of the case
must entertain.
A girl was found murdered, not far from the
binding where Titus Otiicated as janltOr. She
had been employed in that building a col
legiate institute. and she had been last seen
alive entering the grounds on the preceding
night. From that time until her body was dis
covered nothing was or is known of her dOings.
The theory of the prosecution was that she
applied to Titus to admit her; that he led her
into the basement, assaulted and murdered
her there, and then dragged the body to where
il was found. But this theory was as unsub-
Stimulated at the close of tho trial AS at the
beginning. There was no particle OF proof that
the girl was let in by Titus. What was relied
On as evidence that she had been in the base

The destruction caused by the late storm at
Sabine Pass proves to have been greater than
first reported. Over 100 lives arc now sad 10
have been lost The food seems 30 have risen
mon and swept away the houses much as
cyclones in the Indian Ocean have often swept
away populous villages. At Sabine Pass, how
ever, the houses were apparently situated so
near the water and 50 low that they could
never have been really secure, and even an
ordinary storm was liable 20 inlet damage
upon them. II would be surprising that men
should build houses in such perioas places but
for the common experience which shows how
little foresight or observation generally goes to
the arrangement of such matters The West
ern surveyor who laid out a tOwn-site before
he noticed drift wood bgh up in the branches of
the trees, and inferred therefrom that the
tract he had surveyed was at some time of the
year thirty feet under water, is rather an
example of unusual precaution than of the
average way of choosing sites for human dwell
ings.
Even when men are abundanty able to make
deliberate selections they often pitch upon
places utterly unfit for habtation, but when
business reasons of auy kind govern them,
such as the desrabilty of being near the
water for shipping purposes, any and every FISK
will be taken. Fishermen not seldom build
their huts SD close to the sea that a high tide
will food them but they save some labor, and
take their chances of danger. The Sabine Pass
unfortunates no doubt thought it necessary to
build where they did, yet hal they examined
the site carefully they might have found evil
dence of former overllows. Warnings in such
cases are usually of litCe use. the optimistic
tendency being too strong in the average man
for him to pay much attention to predictions
of disaster based On conditions not at the time
in operation. 1t is, however to be hoped that
the SURVIVORS of this disaster will be wise
enough to put themselves hereafter we'll be-
youd the reach of floods.

Defiance in the face of the Gar by calling the
great council, or Sobranje, to meet on October
81. This was one of the things which General
Kaulbars, the diplomatic tourist, ordered them
not TO do until December. OF course, if the
Bulgarians had consented to that, the Russian
party in the Nation would have been i'm
mensely strengthened by Russian gold, and
might have made a respectable showing in the
council thereby gaining the right to say mach
about the election of the new prince. But as
it is, the Car will not he able to control more
than forty votes out of about 525.
On his way to Philade phia Mr.. Blaine speaks
frankly on political subjects, and some OF his
views are printed in The TRIBUNE this morn
ing. In regard to Mr.. Baine's opinions touch
ing temperance and its relations to the Rcpub-
lican party, even the most prcjudced of his
opponents must hereafter admit that he takes
decided and logical position He would have
the people allowed to vote on the question of
prohibition 1t is still a wonder to Mr Blaine,
as it is to nearly every honest Republican,, why
80 many of the temperance advocates want to
smash the Republican parry, which has ever
been the steadfast friend of the cause the
smashers profess to have at heart.
The Presidents mind appears to work curl
ously at times. Some weeks ago, when
the final preparations for the dedication of the
Barthodi statue were begun, Mr.. Cleveland
announced that be could not ask the represent
atives of foreign Nations to attend the cere-
monies, because Congress did not tell him to
DO it. SO the committee in charge went ahead
and informally requested France TO send OYER
such persons az shell chose. A list was made
out, and the delegates will sail to-day. One
would have thought that it might be we'll
enough to let this situation, ungraceful as 1t
was, alone but the President within a uay
two has sent the long postponed invitation.
His reasons for this retarded courtesy would
be interesting and possibly instructive.
Public interest in the knights of Labor Con-
cention al Richmond is not keen; bat the pro-
ceedipgs are still worth attention. Dir. Pow
ae1ly has been reelected for tw D years as head
of the order, and many amendments have been
made in the constitution of the organization
Whether reforms will thereby be accomplished
remains to be seen, for tho men who are
opposed TO certain changes widely demanded
control the officers or are officers themselves,
and may be able to prevent the work Ct the
feformers. In other words, the managers OF
District Assembly No. 40 (New-York City, are
fully In power, and every one familiar with
their doings in this neighbOrhOOd can judge for
himself in what direction changes will be
allowed.
