wISHART NOT TRIED FOR PERJURY
After Some Lively Evidence, Nen-Suit
Ordered, with n Question of Cost-0pen-
afr ha March

After Some Lively Evidence, n Nen-Suit
Ordered, with Question of Cost-Open-
ing of the March Term.
One of the fattest of the fat cases. was that
of Juryman Edgar against M. W. Wishart for
perjury, which came up before Judge White
yesterday. Messrs. Marshall e. Rebman ap-
peared for the defense, and Robb & Moore for
the prosecution.
At one time affairs looked rather blue for
the defense, when w. D. Moore made his little
statement to the jury, in which he explained
that the famous affidavit of Wishart was, from
their standpoint, wlllful and corrupt perjury.
After some delay, this affidavit. urging alleged
misconduct on the part of Edgar and one
other iuryInan at the time So indictments had
been ignored and the costs placed on Wishart.
The prosecution then placed Attorney
William Yost on the stand and from that mo-
ment the tide Of affairs turned. Yost said in
December, 1857. he had dictated the affidavit to
Captain Wishart who wrote it and it was
sworn to according to his rule.
When the time came to introduce the affi-
davit as evidence Marshall at once objected
on the grounds that it was q voluntary affidavit,
made with no specific purpose, and hence this
removed the taint of perjury. A lively shuttle
then ensned, in which everybody hgured4 and
Judge White came out on top with his decision
as follows:
Il believe Yost's statement is correct and L
sustain MarShalIs oD1ectlon. remember tne
case very well, and l remember the affidavit
was read at my request, and Y ost did not want
to read it as it was irrelevant, but he complied
with my request
Moore-The rule of the court to admit it as
evidence was absolute, and Wishart cannot es-
cape the consequences of impeaching grand
jury.
Judge White repeated that the objection is
sustained.
Moore-That ends our case.
Judge White explained that the jury had the
privilege of placing the cost on either party
they thought just, as enough had been shown
to justify SUIT being brought. The jury was
another victory for the Law and Order Society.
The libel suit in connection with the same case
will come up TODAY.

THE NEW GRAND JURY.
Judge Magee More Than Hints Mt Certain
Privileges Enjoyed by Gamblers.

TTiVHe&eB Enjoyed uy O1mDleTss
The March term of the Criminal Court was
opened yesterday morning by Judges Magee
and White. The grand jury for the term was
called up to receive the judges charge, which
was delivered by Judge Magee. He explained
the duties of the grand jury and how they
should be performed. He added:
"The community has been often startled by
the frequency of homicides, the reason of it
being that there are many houses kept and
maintained in violation of law. We hear on
all sides that there are gambling houses en-
gagged in selling liquor without license and
kept open in violation of law, The proprietors
of such places deserve punishment, and you
have promised that such cases shall receive
your attention.
Continuing, the judge told the jury that they
have power to originate charges, and intimated
that too many privileges are accorded the
sporting fraternity. He also read the act of
assembly governing constables returns, so that
no excuse can hereafter be offered by con-
stables that they did not know the law. The
grand jury then retired and commenced on the
work before it. The following was the result
of Its first days work:
True bills-David Curry, assault and battery;
Charles Huff, keeping a disorderly house, SELL
ing liquor without license, and on Sunday;
Kate Foley, entering building with intent to
commit felony, and larceny and receiving
stolen goods; Herman Ilk, alias Herman
Brinkman, felonious assault; Joseph Shaw,
Henry Degges and Max Loska.
Ignored hills-Mary Adler and Maggie Wal
ker. assault and battery; Herman Brinkman,
misdemeanor; Charles Reed, larceny and re-
ceiving stolen goods.

Baby NIite at the Cn,iuo,

The public has been so frequently gulled
and deceived by loud advertising that it
may seem to them exaggeration when we
say that Baby Mite at the Casino this week

ever born and lived. We most earnestly
request the public, especially the ladies, to
come and see this sweet, endearing angel,
and judge for themselves. Whether all
that has been said of this infant angel OF
humanity is true, pen cannot describe her
diminutive proportions. She is the per-
sonifcation of perfect smallness. She is

Prisoner and Court Agree With Regard to
Some Aldermnnic Cases.
During the progress of the alleged Wisharr
perjury case, some amusement was caused by
the remarks of Judge White, and prisoner
who was brought up for sentence.
Ballait a meek and mild-mannered man, was
brought in for sentence. He had been found
guilty of carrying deadly weapon, and Judge
White, in imposing fine of SIS and costs, said
he had made it light, but had imposed a fine
because Ballait had not acknowledged carrying
a weapon.
Ballait-Your Honor, may make state
ment?
Judge White (surprised, but smiling)-Why,
yes, certainly.
Ballait-I did not care to tell the Alderman
whether carried a weapon or not. NOWADAYS
when man is brought up before Justice, it
doesn't make any difference if he's guilty or
rot; he is fined or held for court
Judge White (amidst a general laugh
There's a great deal of truth in that.
Ballait departed satisfied that he had his S.
worth.

A Gard to Business and Professional
Men,

na man insures his life he should do so as he in
sures his goods, his dwelling his warehouse-to-
wit: at a fair and reasonable premium or cost and
not at fancy speculative figures Just that
premium which covers the risk amply and well is
enough, and m ore than this is unnecessary II not
damaging. as witness the constant, unfortunate
disclosures where too much and excessive moneys
have wrecked otherwise prudent reliable and
trustworthy men and Institutions. The Western
Union Mutual Life, of Detroit, furnishes life in
surance among its members at about one-third the
cost in any old line premium company. Itsfounda-
tons are laid in the commercial integrity and re-
sponsbility of more than s. 900 of the solid, con-
servative, successful business and professional
men of the country, who were its originators and
are its proprietors and patrons. All losses are
paid in full promptly when due. The plan of the
society is to furnish life insurance at cost among
Its members; that is to say reliable protection at
actual cost for losses occurring among the mem
bers and for actual expenses incurred in conduct
ing the business. To illustrates: A So 600 policy
with the Western Union Mutual Life at age 40
has never cost more than S117 q in any one year;
its average has been less than Sl0o. The annual
premium in an old line company for So 900 at age
40 is S3l3 or S9J 70 too much, and therefore this
amount is lost to the policy holder annually. For
other ages and other amounts the proportion is
the same as per above example. The society has

EVERYBODY HAPPY,
Classical Oakmont Evolved From the Sec.
0ud Ward of Varouu

ond Ward of Verona.
The question that has been agitating the resi-
dents Of Verona borough, was settled yester-
day. A decree of court was made creating tn e
borough of Oakmont out of what was formerly
the Second ward of Verona and fixing the
limits of the borough. This is victory for the
faction who wanted the new borough called
Hutton. Tuesday, March II, was fixed for the
holding OF an election for officers of the new
borough.
A decree was also made fixing the limits of
Verona borough, which has ia ken a large piece
from Penn township. The report Of s. H
Shannon, who was appointed auditor to report
on the division of the assets and liabilities of
the old borough of Verona, between Oakmont
and Verona, was approved. Oakmont or what
was the Second ward of Verona, is to receive
A.4S per cent of the assets and bear the same
proportion of the liabilities. Verona, or the
old First ward. gets 5S52 per cent for its share.
The auditors fee was fixed at $500.

Wayne and Richmond, and II8
miles from Cincinnati by rail, or
about 90 miles in a direct line. 1t
is in the largest continuous district
of natural gas-bearing land in the
world-a district which has been
developed and tested by hundreds
of gas wells, demonstrating beyond
all doubt that the gas supplyis in
exhaustible, and its quality for fuel
and illumination unsurpassed. The
gas wells now in use at Portland
have an output of over I5,ooo,ooo
cubic feet daily, and this supply
may be increased ad infnitum.
The Grand Rapids and Indiana
Railroad and the Lake Erie and
Western Railroad give Portland
north, south, east and west outlet.
The county is one of the richest
agricultural and stock-raising coun-
ties in the State. Portland has fine
public schools, Normal College,
two newspapers, viz.:' "Commer-
cial," "Sun;" building and loan
association, seven churches, two
fine hotels, besides lesser ones, an
opera house, and does a large

Mr. James Critchlow, residing on Carnegie

fer1ng from his stomach At times it would
give him such pain that he could only live on
lime water and milk. He had great distress
and bloatiDg after eating, with belchlng of gas.
His liver also gave him much pain, and his
tongue had yellow coating. He had pressure
and pain over the eyes. He lost all ambition
and kept getting worse until he was unable to
do any work. One doctor said he had cancer of
the stomach. After trying IL doctors all to no
purpose, he began treatment with the physi-

so fully assured of this thai 7 recent
" determined if possible, for one
minute, at least, to lessen the num-
Der of coughs heard in q certain
ward in the hospital Of the institu-
ton. By the promise ofrewards and

them simply to hold their breath

tie while I was myself surprised to
see how many of the children entire

Constant coughing is precisely
like scratching a wound on the out
side of the body; SO long asst is done
the wound will not heal. Let a per-
son, when tempted to cough draw a
long breath and hold it until it
warns and socthes every air cell,
and some benefit will soon be receiv-
ed from the process. The nitrogen,
which is thus refined, acts at an ano-
dyne to the irritated mocus men,
brane, allaying the desire to cough
and giving the throat and lungs a
chance to heal. At the same time q
suitable medicine will aid nature in
her effort to recuperate. "-Baltimore

To Wash Wooden Shswls,

scrape one pound of soap, boil it
down in sufficient water; when cool
ing beat it with the hand, it will be a
sort of jelly; add three tablespoon
fuls of spirit of t%urpentine and one
of spirit Of hartshorn. Wash the
articles we'll in it, then rinse in cool
water until all the soap is taken off,
then in salt and water. Fold be-
tween two sheets, taking care not
to allow two folds of the article
washed to come together. Iron with
a slightly warmed iron. Shawls
done in this way look like new. Salt
is to be used only where there are
delicate colors that may run.

Five Ways to Stop q Cold,

1. Battle the feet in hot water and
drink a pint of hot lemonade. Then
sponge with salt water and remain
in q warm room. 2. Battle the face
in very hot watar every five minutes
for an hour. 3. Snuff up the nos.
trils hot salt water every three hours.
4. Inhale ammonia or menthol. 5.
Take four hours active exercise in
the open air. A ten grain dose OF
quinine will usually break up a cold
in the beginning. Anything that
will set the blood actively in circula-
ton will do it, whether it be drugs or
the use of a bucksaw. But better
than all, if your cold is inveterate or
serious, consult your family physician,
and at once.
