The trial at Winchester, Va, of T.
A. Ridenour, charged with the murder
of Andrew Broy, resulted in a verdict
of acquittal. The case is n remarkable
one in the history of criminal trials.
The murdered man and the accused
were intimate friends, and the evil
dence was almost entirely of a circum-
stantial character. The murder was
committed owe two years ago, and
the first trial resulted in q conviction
OF murder in the first degree, but the
verdict was set aside by Judge Clark
of the county court OF Frederick on
proof that during the trial several let
ters, though of n private nature, had
been permitted to reach one or more
of the jurymen. A second trial was
had, and this also resulted in a verdict
of murder in the first degree, and SEN
tence of death was passed and the day
of execution fixed. Counsel for de-
Tense then took the case before Circuit
Judge Turner on a large number of
exceptions, which he had reserved
during the trial. Judge Turner over
ruled all the exceptions, but granted a
new trial for the reason that the clerk
in making up the record had inserted
an extra initial In the nam of Andrew
Broy, the murdered man. But for
this clerical it is probable Ride
nour would have been hanged, though
his counsel would have taken the case
before the supreme court of the state.
As above stated, the third trial has re-
suited in the acquittal of Ridenour.
The jury was composed of well known
citizens of Loudoun county, and the
verdict was rendered within an hour
after the case had been given into
their hands Baltimore Sun.

A Creature of the Mist.

An interesting optical illusion may
be experienced almost any night when
there is n slight mist on the Third
Avenue Elevated railway between
Houston and Grand street stations.
About fifty yards from either of these
platforms a shadow quite as black rs
the smoke from an engine of the fire
department when it is hard at work
seems to arise directly from the streets
through the tracks. So dense is this
shadow that the lights north of the
Houston street station cannot be dis
unguished from Grand street A train
going north or south seems about 10
plunge into the thickest sort of smoke
when ii reaches the point in question,
but the headlight may be seen, never
theless, shining along the track
through the apparently impenetrable
mist, ever with more luminousness
than along other parts of the road.
The solution of this mystery was
given by a gateman at Grand street:
Il have lots of persons come up to me
almost every night, and, asking me
what's on fire, point up toward Hous-
ton street l ask them where the fire
is and they almost invariably point TO
the shadow, for such it is after all.
The blocks along the Bowery where
that shadow extends are perhaps the
most brilliantly lighted along the
thoroughfare. The brilliancy of the
electric lights falling upon the super
structure of the tracks casts a shadow
against the mist that is inky in black
ness Sometimes, when the fog is
very heavy, the lights cast long rays
through the spaces between the ties
and the mist reflects them. making
that part of the road look as though
an aurora borealis had dropped down
