Does Not Believe in Chariyarin..

The Iowa supreme court has reversed
the decision of the lower court in the MUIR
der case of the state VS.. Royal Adams.
Adams was indicted for murder in the first
degreee for the accidental shooting of a
person named Daring, a member of a
:harivari party; was indicted for man
slaughter and sentenced to prison for
seven years and six months. In reviewing
the case the court says: The party assem-
bled on the night when the tragic affair
took place is called charivari. Its object
is about as barbarous as the pronunciation
OF its name. Whatever federation it once
had has long since passed away. Even
when in vogue it was often attended by
violence and bloodshed. If it ever was al
lowable to jury that such an assemblape
with all its tumult and confusion was not
great provocation to those ANNOYED and
insulted, that time has passed away.

mand. The stock market was somewhat
irregular to-day, but on the whole dis
played a strong tone, with fair volume
of business, although most of the list are
slightly lower at the close, in conse-
quence of the bear raid. There was
very confident feeling this morning, but
there was ali attempt made to get the
grangers down again by means of man
lpulation from London houses with
European connections being the heaviest
sellers; while st. Paul, in which the
drive was specially made, was much
lower in that market. Inquiry from
this side, however, elected the informa-
ton that the selling orders originated
from this side, and the impression
significant. The advices from the West
were reassuring. At the stock exchange
the suspension of a noted bear trader
was announced, and about 10000 shares
OF stock was bought III under the rule
for his account. The general list showed
great resistance to the efforts to get
prices down, and rallied handsomely
from the lowest figures when the pres
sure was removed, while Erie was con-
spicuOuS for both activity and strength
and led the upward movement in prices
and the entire list in point of
animation. A majority of the act
i've shares are fractionally lower
than last evening, but the only
marked change was in Erie, which is
up per cent. The railroad bond mar
ket was active, the sales aggregating
S1.543, 900. out of which Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy fives contributed
S24S,000 and the Louisville, New Albany
& Chicago cOnsols $10S,0O0. The trad
ing in the last-mention ed bonds was the
feature of the day, and they were
specially strong, rising per cent to
101. The gains include st. Paul, $40,
to to 1870; Northern Illinois firsts, to
LILO and Central Pacific land grants 2
to 1925. The declines were gradually
small though Erie incomes lost 2 to 20.
The sales of bonds for the week aggre-
gated Sl0,629, 900. against $14,621, 600 for
last week. Government bonds have
