demeanor which they had worn when
entering the court room, except that
Burke chewed with redoubled energy at
his quid Of tobacco, while O'Sullivan

as usual the comedian Of the prisoners, and
smiled and waved his hands at tbs officers

As soon as the defendants had taken their

An Earl as an Engineer.

Baron de Winton, of Shropshire,
England, was forced to fee his native
land on account of heavy obligations
he had contracted in gambling and on
the turf. While on the continent he
lost over $250,000, and his financial
affairs being greatly mixed up, he
came TO this country to escape the
disagreeable task of settling and meet
ing his father. For a while he man.
aged to live quite. elegantly in
Brooklyn, but after long spree found
himself penniless. Then he accepted
position as engine driver on the
Jersey City Road. Here he worked
for some time, became very popular
with his comrades, and by q virtuous
life managed to save enough money to
pay his passage home. He left q few
days ago, and now his friends are
wondering what reception he will
receive from his father, the Earl of
Winton.
