A CURIOUS THING.

At another time during the afternoon,
Kelly fell TO talking about Van Baker,
now in our Jail, awaiting his second trial,
which begins at Wellsburg, June 5th. He
asked good many questions about Baker
and his crime, and said 81 used to know
Baker, when was little tad. He was
school commissioner, and taught at New
Brighton. / remember he whipped me
pretty hard, once. But was mischievous,
and only went to school TO see how much
fun could have"
1t is a strange thing that both master
and pupil should, in after years, find
themselves confined in the same Jail, and
each charged with murder.
At exactly hslf.past five o'clock there
was buzz heard in the corridors outside
the Court room, and whisper ran through
the audience jury's coming" The
crowd, which had impatiently pacing
about in the Railways, made o rush for
the Court room, while those already in the
room crowded down to the railing in their
anxiety to hear what might be said. The
room was still in buzz when the jury be-
gan to file in, in charge Of Deputy
Sheriff White, Foreman Lukens in
front, but as the twelve men who
had fixed the destiny of the pris-
oners took their seats dead calm came
over the large apartment. Judge Jacob
had been sent for and appeared in mo-
ment upon the bench. As the Jury settled
themselves in their seats and awaited the
coming of the Court, Christie looked at the
occupants Of the dozen chairs with intent
eyes, Is though striving to ascertain what
was in store for him, but Kelly showed no
anxiety whatever, only looking casually
in the same direction as his eomrads.
Clerk Mitchell rose, and walking to the
north edge of the platform containing his
desk said:
THE VERDICT.
Gentlemen of the jury, have You agreed
upon n verdict?"
Foreman Lukens have.
The Clerk.-Prisoners, look upon the
Jury. Jury, look upon the prisoners
Gentlemen of the jury, what say You?
Guilty or not guilty.
Foreman Lukens.-Guilty.
At the words Prisoners, look upon the
Iury," Kelley and Christie rose to their
feet, and stood at ease. Both looked grave
1t the word guilty" but neither betrayed
trepidation or emotion. Clerk Mitchell
crossed to the jury box and took the writ
Ten verdict, prepared in the jury room,
which b. read, ~ follows:
ave, the Jury, 6nd the prisoners, Harry
D. Christie and Thomas Kelley, guilty Of
murder in the first degree, and fix their
punishment az confinement in tho peni-
Ientiary."
Mr.. Sommeryille, Of counsel for the de-
tense said he desired to submit motion.
The SQUIRT said very well, and then asked
70 see the written verdict. This was hand
ID mp, and after comparing IL with theform
aid down In the statute, the Court said 1t
was not exactly in proper form, and d.
rected that a new verdict be written out.
This was done by Prosecuting Attorney
Jordan, and was signed by Foreman Lukens.
The ameudmsnt was to make the verdict

.THE NATIONAL SPORT.
The WhssIings Badly Defeated by the Lima
Beans, Yesterday.
THE TEAM NEEDS BRACING UP.
Other Games in the Tri-Sats and National
Leagues and Association.
GENERAL NOTES ON THE GAME.

The Wheeling base ball team started of
on the present trip with big lead for the
pennant, and it now as if she was to re-
turn in third or fourth place at least. This
isn't said to discourage the club or its sup
porters, but every body knows that Wheel.
ing had q strong club and still
has. If the boys intend to
let the sale of Dslshsnty have
such an effect upon them THAT they can
not play ball, they had better stop i'm
mediately and come home. Out of four
games since Dsl's departure, the team has
managed to lose three. Poor work by the
pitchers, poor work at the bat and very
poor fielding has been the record in
these three games and the people
are becoming Disguised. If good
ball is played and the team meets with de-
feat there will be no cause for kicking, and
it is to be hoped that the boys will brace
up and play ball in their accustomed form
and pound the pig skin in the manner in
which they started of the season.

Dsdn, Know lie Wa. President.

When Charles Crocker was at Portland on
his spike driving tour over the California and
Oregon, en- incident occurred which is illus
trative OF the bewiiderins magnitude OF the
railway interests Of that gentleman. He re-
ceived q call at tie Esmord house from the
general manager Of the oTegonian railway. a
bttlo narrow gauge formerly under the CON
troll o: a Scotch company Mr. Crocker ne
garded the visit as purely complimentary
but when the narrow gauge manager began
to talk about the prospects of his line, the
need Of repairs at certain points, and gave
tho magnate the assurance that it was fairly
PROSPEROUS concern, Mr. Crocker's mind be-
came cloudy. He clearly did not know what
the man was driving ct Still the official
went on until he was interrupted by friend
who happened to be present, and who said.
Mr.. Crocker doesn't understand what all
this is about"
"oh, guess he does" said the general
'uanascr, with q confident air. Il guess he
knows that he is president Of this railroad" :"
But I'm - il he did" said Mr.. Crocker,
until you said SO this moment"
Tho incident created ripple Of merriment
omong the railroad men who happened to be
present, and some of the Portland maguates

Ordinarily one would not expect to find
among the mus:y records and papers on file
in the war department anything suggesting
hunor or pleasantly. But this is just what
occurred to me the o:her day when I was
looking over some popers in the quartermas-
ter generals department Your readers may
not know-at leas. those not familiar with
military ma1ters-that it frequently happens
that, by reason OF death, desertion and dis
charge, the number OF men in a troop is less
than the number OF horses on hand. A troop
captain not long ago had occasion to send a
requisition for ordnance stores, including,
among other things, sixty-fivc nose bags
After the usual long interval this re9uisi-
ton was duly returned, with the indcrse-
nent: Respectfully returned to Capt. -
-, tn Cavalry. The returns Of his troop
show tina. he has only fifty- men. and ex-
PLANTATION is desired as to why he requires
Gxty-fve nose bags"
The captains explanation was as follows:
''Respecttully returned. The nose bags are
Neqcred for my horses, and not for the
