JOHN 3. EVANS PAROONED.
Reason to Believe That Ho Acted In Self
Dcfrnce In EiIIlng McIenn.


The Norfolk Landmark of Yesterday says:
A special telegram TO the Landmark yes
tcrlay gave the intelligence that John r.
Evans. Of this city, had been pardoned by
Governor Lee, VINO gave as his reason Tor
extending executive clemency that there
seemed to be some reason 10 believe that
the offence for which he was committed
Was done III selI-detcnce.
THY CRIME.
The offence for which John j. Evans was
SEM "a the penitentiary was the killing Of
Peter J. Mclean. which took place Friday
morning the 2sJh of July. 1855, in Nam
street near the head of Talbot street
Evans was arrested and sent on 70 the Cor
poration Court for trial the grand Jury
indinq two true bills against him IN Sep
tember. Tho trial was set for the Scptem-
Der term of the court, but was postponed
T. the November term at the request Of
counsel for the defence, owing 10 the alb
sence Of an important witness.
AEICIMoND JURY.
In November. when tho case came up for
trial motion for a change Of rtTtde was
made and oyerruied. This was November
2Sd. One pe1,re OF jurymen from tins city
was exhausted without obtaining single
number. and IL was necessary 70 summon
two ueiires from Richmond before. full
pauel was secured. The trial lasted until
December 9th, when Evans was sentenced
10 the penitentiary for two years for vol
untary Innnslauehter. The defence was
conducted by Messrs. John Nicely, George
Mcintosh. and Judge James +. Heath, and
the case excited a great deal OF interest
here. the courtroom being crowded almost
10 It's utmost capacity each day that 1t was
going on.

Sleeping Rooms for Children.

Possibly the attention of very few
mothers has been directed to the import
apce of the position of their children s
beds. With certain orderly, careful
mothers a small aIcove adjoining their
sleeping room is generally considered
suitable: leaving the main room so much
freeT for other uses. But to what fate
are we cOnsIgning our child when
we exile him to the alcove? Here
turks all the stale, Initiated, OF, as
we might say, dead air, undisturbed by
the freer currents of the main room
The child breathing this air, night after
night, experiences a loss of vitality, a
tendency to colds. and q lanquid, de-
pressed condition in the morning, quite
different from the refreshed awakening
in pure air. 1t has been demonstrated
that the beds nearest the walls in hos
pitfalls have the highest rate of mortality
they being subject to influences of pol
luted air similar to the alcove of the bed
room. The existence of bad ventilation
around the corners and sides of
rooms has been so well demonstrated that
If has given rise to the building Of rotunda
hospitals, where the air along the floor
rises as it reaches the wall, effectually
ventilating the whole. The first sug-
gestion of this idea came from the Drop
ping of small piece of paper near the
center of a Totunda, where it skinned
along the floor and rose as it reached the
wall. In an ordinary room a similar ex-
pertinent with a piece of thistle-down
will indicate the usual direction of the
air currents

DAKOTA'S GOVERNOR.

lie Snubs the Decentralization will be
Asked to Bounce Him
BISMARCK, OAK. Feb. 10.-fn a mes
sage to the house of representatives Gov
ernor Church yesterday attacked his
predecessor bitterly, and the legislature
returned the attack with equal warmth,
and then postponed their formal answer
to Monday to get in better shape.
After sending in his message he closed
his office, which is considered
a direct snub to the legislature then in
session and he couldn't be found by
officers of the house. As his message
was considered very insulting there has
been much talk about the matter, and
the indications. of action looking to his
prompt removal by the in-cOm-
ing president are very pronounced
1t is held that the closing of
his office while the legislature
was sitting is sufficient ground for ask
ing for his immediate dismissal. Repre-
sentative Jones says he will offer reso-
luton Monday asking President Harrison
to remove Governor Church at CLOCK
in the afternoon of March 4 Auditor
Caldwell, who gave the legislature aid in
showing some mistakes made by the
governor in previous message, was met
by the latter and fight was threatened
for a moment The governor threatens
to whip Caldwell when they next meet.
The end of the war is not yet, and the re-
suit cannot be predicted.

Sighted by Bismarck.

The Samoan difficulty is not by a long
shot the only casus belli this country has
against Germany. The people might get
along comfortably and let the Germans
have the Samoan Islands, but it is simply
impossible for this government to exist
and allow s.n insult such as was offered
to the people through the court of ses-
sions of this county, to pass unnoticed
Henry klarbaum on November II, OBJ
tanned $40 from Erhardt Herr, of No. 5S9
Liberty street, New Durham, represent
ing that he would repay him as soon as
he received a regular remittance from q
pension allowed him by the German en-
pire. Soon after Klarbaum's arrest
Prosecutor Winfield sent a subpoena to
Prince Bismarck to come over and testify
as TO whether Klarbaum' representa-
tons were true of false The naughty
German nobleman never so much as
deigned to notice the subpoena, and not
withstanding the fact that Mr..
Winfield insisted upon Secre-
tary Bayard forcing Bismarck to
come over TO testify, he had
to humiliatinglv confess to the court that
the German government had not aeknowl-
edged the subpoena. "Under the cir
cumstances, your honor, - said he, 81
must enter nolle pros. in the case. -
The only proper thing for the government
TO do now is TO send a man of-war or two
TO Germany and destroy n few cities in
CART reprisal for the slight put upon the
Judiciary of this imperial county, - as
Congressman McAdoo modestly describes
it,

An Express Rumor.

A well known express man in this city
gives it as his positive opinion that sew
eral important express changes are like
ly to occur in the near future. He be-
ieyes the Pacific express company VII go
out of existence or be absorbed by either
the Adams or Wells Fargo company,
probably the latter. The companies
have been warning between the Missouri
river and New York, and as result it is
believed the American express company
will be in Denver before many weeks
elapse. There have been similar rumors
before printed and the moves are not at
all unlikely - Denver Republican.

Examined as to Moral Character.
Albany Express.


Some amusing incidents happen at the
civil service examinations which the laws
now require to be passed by. candidates
for official positions and clerkships. 1t
was at an examination here in Boston
that young woman found herself con-
fronted with this question:
care you of good moral character"
She was very much amused at the
question, and in doubt how to treat it .
Calling the examiner to her desk, she
said about the question:
81 have the reputation of being Of
good moral character. But you know
reputation is what people think of us,
while character is what God and the
angels know of US, aud that I don t
want to tell. -
The examiner said she need not worry.

Gen. Dodge, who is now in Fort Worth +,
deserves more credit for the wonderful
development of Texas than any other one
man now living. The great Southwest
system is the creature of his great engi-
neering ability. He saw years ago what
! Texas could be and he put his
hand to the work of develop
ment Gen. Dodge is probably not
seeking any glory or credit for his work /,
but he deserves it, nevertheless, and the
waste places of Texas, especially of the
Panhandle can count him as the great
developer of wonderful natural resources.
Chicago Tribune: The number of miles
OF railroad in the United States and ter
ritories is now just about $50 900, or more
than the mileage of all Europe. A force
OF about 500 900 men is employed in var
ious capacities on these lines, being at
the rate of trifle over FIVE men to the
mile. Hence the 1000 miles of new track
laid last year called into requisition the
services of 35 600 additional men. The
increase is fully ! = per cent, which is
considerably in excess of the average
annual increase in population. The year
lSSS is described by some as one Of small
railroad building, but it was not.

a Fabulous Industry.

It is remarked that all the money
which the world possesses to-day would
only purchase oue-third Of its railways,
since the railroads in the world are worth
nearly $50 ESQ, 600 600, or about one
tenth of the total monetary wealth of the
civilized nations, and over one-quarter of
their invested capital. In comparison
with this sum the amount of money
invested in banking through
out the entire world is but a trifle. The
railroad business is one which is increas-
ing at an almost incredible rate of speed
In 1875 the world 5 railways aggregated
IS5 900 miles, while in 1885 there were
over 500 900 miles of railroad, thus show
