VIM. Trainer PardOned.

Governor Jackson under the recon-
mendation OF the Judge and States At
torney who tried the case and numerous
citizens has pardnued William Trainer
who robbed passengers on a train on the
Baltimore Central Railroad on January
ID, 1885. Trainer was tried at the March
term, 1855, of the Cecil county court and
convicted on two charges of assault and
robbery. Leon Griffith who was with
him at the time of the robbery was also
tried and acquitted. Trainer admitted
his guilt at the trial stating that he had
been reading Wild West stories and was
boarded the train at Rising Sun, having
purchased tickets for Sylmar. He pointed
large revolver at the passengers and
made them hand over their valuabes.
Among the passengers was Editor Geo.
o. Carey, OF the Cecil STIR, whose watch
was taken by Trainer.
Trainer stated on the stand that Grif-
fifth had nothing to do with the robbery
The two jumped OF the train while in
motion. Counsel for Trainer attempted
to secure his acquittal on the ground that
as the line of the railroad crossed and
recrossed the Marylan and Pennsylvania
State line several times between Rising
Sun and Sylmar it was not known in
which state the crime was committed.
1t was also attempted to prove that Grit
fifth was rather weak-minded. Trainers
manly way of taking all the blame of
the affair on himself and generating
Griffith won him considerable sympathy
and the sentence of eight years in the
penitentary imposed by the court was
considered severe by many. His friends
had recently been making strong efforts
to secure his release. He had served about
three years in the penitentiary. The mat
ter was Looked on as the foolish episode of
youth of eighteen and his pardon by the
Governor meets with popular approval.
Mr.. Trainer on getting out says 1t felt
strange to walk among SO many people
again. He will start in a few weeks for
Tom bstone, Arizona, where he has
brother engaged in mining.

Charged With Violating the Pro-
libItOry Law

At the hearing on Tuesday evening of
John Cooper on the charge OF drunken
ness and discrderly conduct, States-At-
torney VIM. S. Evans asked the accused
while on the stand where he procured
the whisky that made him drunk. Cooper
did not care to answer the question but
j Istice Scott told him he must answer
all questions that did not criminate him.
self. Cooper then STAGED that he gave
L Ike Goodyear thirty five cents to pur-
chase him some whisky at Newark, Del,
near which place G ,oiyear was working.
G ,odyear came home last s .turday with
his own supply of drink and also that for
Cooper. There was no profit in the
transaction for G. ,odyear who spent the
sum Cooper gave him for the whisky and
bottle which he delivered to the colored
man. The States Attorney thought this
a violation of the prohibitory law and
had a warrant issued for Goodyear's ar
rest. He was given hearing before
Justice S ;ott on Wednesday morning and
held in 500 bail to await the action of
the grand jury at the September term of
court. Like was a greatly surprised
man and had no idea he was violating
the law IN Obligiug his colored friend.
The friends of the prohibitory law, how
ever, desire to break up the practice of
persons acting as agent for procuring
liquor from other states, whether for pro-
lit or not.

Tbe Dor Tbat owned the Deer.

Two dogs had been chasing a deer, and
when it was finally brought down the owners
of the dogs began to wrangle about which Of
the dogs started the deer The game was laid
on the green sward, and soon the boat ar
rived with the two dogs One of the old
hunters cried out: "Send those hounds up
here, and let US see whose deer this is
The gentleman who relates the incident,
never having heard Of so strange a test, said,
half in doubt:
''What nonsense is that you are talkingq'
fsVo nonsense, doctor; wait and see"
Being deeply interested l approached
closely, that might better observe the ami
mails. One Of them walked up to the deer,
smelt him all over, and seemed quite in
doubt. Then the other dog came up with an
angry growl, smelt the deer, and deliberately
laid himself down by the animal, while the
first dog quietly placsd his tail between his
legs and walked away. I could not help ex-
pressing my amazement, and, still doubling
the fact, said to my old guide;
"That dog that is lying by the deer has
been the master Of the other, and has cowed
him.
"On the contrary said my informant,
''the dog that gave up the deer is the better
fighter, and whips that dog every time"
During the day It was learned that the
deer had been started ten miles down the
river by the dog that claimed it, and the
sound Of his voice drew the other one about
four mikes below the lake-True Flag.
