BluShing.

We feel little coy in our new dress,
with slight mixture Of pride. We have
laid aside our ample summer robes and
have girded our loins more tightly in q
closely.titting suit. To the close observ.
er it will appear the same old goods with
a few plaits removed. The News. HER
AID has never been strict follower OF
fashion, yet we are not callous to appear
ances, nor to the preference of a number
of our readers. Nor in this our new ap-
pearance do we promise never again to
make change, or to don our old tog.
gerry if the public should intimate that
our dress looks seedy or threadbare, or
that our true worth is not as prominent.
So in this our changed appearance it is
with much the feeling OF young lady
in new suit OF which she feels proud
and yet timid in asking the momentous
question, "How do I look?"

Brltton's Preliminary.

At the preliminary trial Of Marion d.
Britton for shooting John G. Brown,
there was an unusual interest taken.
The Court house was packed to an un.
comfortable degree. The trial was held
before H. H. Maddox, Justice Of the
Peace. The lawyers present and taking
part at the trial were Uric Sloane, Mr..
Savage, of Wilmington, and J. B. Wor-
ley for the State, while Gov. Hart, Mills
Gardner, Of Washington G. H., George
Garrett and Burwell Britton took coun.
sci for the defense. The trial was of
brief duration, only three witnesses be-
ing examined outside Of the professional
testimony as to the nature Of the wounds
and the cause OF Browns death. The
witnesses told straight and unbiased
tale, making an impression on all that
heard them that they were altogether
without prejudice or preference. Rob.
ert Johnson, Of Penn township, was the
first witness called, and described the
actions OF Britton as he came down the
street; how he walked close to the build.
ings until he came opposite the Parker
House he then walked out toward the
curbing until opposite where Brown was
sitting, wheeling around and drawing
his pistol at the same time, took a step
or two toward Brown and fired. Brown
Immediately jumped up and ran into the
Parker House, followed by Britton. The
movements of Brown and the second
shot fired by Britton were described by
a Mr.. Fry, OF Kansas, and Mr.. Cyrus
Nordyke, Of New Vienna. Their testi.
mony in reference to Browns actions
were that he rushed into the Parker
House Office, ran toward the bar-room
door, turned quickly around to the left,
the bar.room door being shut, anG start.
ed toward the door by which he entered
the house with his head bowed and his
hands partly raised. At this time Britton
fired the second shot, taking effect in the
left side Of Browns neck. Brown fell to
the floor, face downward. The attention
to Brown after this was to that of ser
iously wounded man, while a number
were calling attention to Britton as hav
ing shot man.
The most singular feature Of this dis
tressing case is, that not word wal
spoken during the time Of shooting. The
result OF the trial was that Britton wa.
committed to Jail without bail, the Cor
oner's verdict being sustained, whicl
was willful and premeditated murder.
1t is not time to pass judgment in thi
case. Britton should have fair, full
and impartial trial. Until that time lie
Judgment be withheld.

Elias Hudson was arraigned before
Judge Kelly last Monday on charge Of
living and cohabitating in adultery.
There was an abundance OF testimony,
but it should be said that it was conflict
ing in very large degree. In fact, the
one searching after truth was at loss to
know how witnesses trying to tell the
truth could see the same state OF things
so differently. AS to the quality OF the
testimony, let the readers Of the News.
HERALD be satisfied with the assurance
that it was not the kind furnished in
sunday.school papers. Judge Kelly, af.
ter hearing evidence and counsel, found
Hudson guilty as charged. The sentence
of the Court was thirty days at hard
labor, $25 fine and the prisoner to pay
cost OF prosecution.

terested audience. The occasion was the
anniversary Of the Sunday School Mis-

"The Building and Launching Of the

forty scholars representing the various

was interspersed with the spiritual sing
ing of significant but familiar hymns
and the recitation of special selections.
The "Plea Of the Nations" was also rem
dered, and the ship was decked with
many national colors. The craft itself
when completed was beautiful object
The masts lowered Hp toward the CELL
ing, and the hull extended completely
across the spacious platform. The exer-
else was 30 novel and well rendered that
the interest of an immense audience was
thoroughly sustained until the very
close. Everyone pronounced 1t one of
the most beautiful and successful mis-
