4. l.. w eiss, who was indicted at the last

and jury last Tuesday and Wednesday,
The State proved plainly that in August,
1899, the defendant married one Miss Casteel
of Annapolis, this county, while he had
wife living in Ste. Geneyieye county ut the
time. He lived with her a few weeks and
then departed and plaintiff never him
again until he arrested on this charge.
Defendant admitted all the allegations, but
his counsel maintained that he was not re-
sponsibe in that he had been sufferer from
epilepsy for thirty years past, that by reason
of such disease defendants reason had been
impaired to such al extent that he was I'M
able to distinguish right from wrong. The
jury couldn't see the matter in that light

The alleged discovery of cure for con-
sumption by DR.. Koch of Berlin has awak
ened a world wide interest and thousands
are anxiously awaiting the outcome of fair
test of the remedy. In view of the general
interest manifested on this subject we
produce the following from the New York
Medical Journal, which gives Information
that many are DESTROYS of learning: ''koch's
alleged remedy for tubercular disease is now
being tried diligently in various parts of the
world, but naturally the experiments in
Berlin continue to be the greatest subject of
popular and professional interest. The re-
ports from that city Indicate that the for
eign physicians who went there to learn
something about the matter are beginning
to realize that they might as well have stay
ed at home. Specimens OF the liquid have
been received in New York and in New
Haven, and its employmen in New Haven
has been under way for several days. One
of the subjects of the experiments is said to
be a person somewhat advanced in pulmon-
ary phthisis, that, regards his case,
fair test of what Koch alleges for the remedy
is hardly to be expected. As to the expert
mems in Europe, the fragmentary reports
received concerning them do not seem to us
to establish anything, except that the febre
reaction described by Koch does actually
lake place. 1t must be months yet before
sufficient data can be Obtained to settle the
question of the durability of tubercuouS
disease by the Koch tTeatment--before, in
fact, we shall know whether 10 class koch's
discovery with that of vaccination or with
that of 'gleditschine.'
A Number of citizens of Montpelier, Idabo.
have written to Mr.. W. G. Fairchild of this
CITY telling him that the killing of his son,
Oliver, ut that place on the 1st inst, was
nothing but the grOssest carlessneSs on the
part of the railroad company, and several
who were witnesses of the sad accident
have voluntarily offered them selves 'as wit
nesses in case of suit for damages. 1t
seems that the railroad company have been
operating their road out there much as they
please without regard to law or public safety,
and the community, generally, is much ar
reused. In the event that it is proven that
she company was neglectful, and there seems
to be no doubt of that fact, it should be
made TO pay to the full extent of the law.
Money, il is true, can neither restore life nor
smcIiorats the sufferings Of those who
mourn. but it is the example that has whole
some effect on the corporation and saves
repetition of such sad and tragic events In
the future. Mr.. +. has not yet determined
what he will do but il yefx likely that pro-
