Reference to Criminal Cases.
The most important case decided in the
! Supreme Court yesterday was that OF
Jones against the Commonwealth, IN

/ Tho exceptions were sustained, the lower
/ court reversed, and now trial awarded
/ Jones, who was convicted of assaulting
another man and seriously woundlng him
/ with rock IN "a street-hght.
/ Tho principal ground Tor reversal was
/ that the trial Judge limited the speech of
/ the prisoners counsel 10 thirty minutes.
| The Court, in its decision, SAYS that while
I IL Is the province and duty of "A court tore
strict argument, IL Is not proper TO impose
such restrictions as will prevent the full
and complete presentation OF either side OF
"a case.

TIRE REACTION.

The late reaction from the low prices Of
two days ago is regarded as principally tho
with some buying by those who had
thrown their holdings over on the scare.
There wore no further failures or bank
suspensions To disturb the even course Of
events. but the bears demonstrated the
fact that they have not rs yet gone into
their holes and are still very much alive.
The natural tendency Of prices 20 advance
after the late severe drop was checked, and
while fluctuations were on comparatively
small scale they were in some cases very
material. though tho final changes are in
most cases for fractional amounts only.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-10-15

The Jefe Politico had been within an
ace of capture himself; he certainly could
not have escaped if his opponents had
had but little more time to follow. He
was furious with rage and choked with
chagrin at the ignominious fate that had
befallen him, and yet, inspired with a
salutary dread, too, by the lesson he had
received, he made none too active prep
arations to avenge himself.
But Pablo thrust under his nose some
specimens from one of the bags of treas
ure let fall during the flight.
"See here" he said,. "this is the kind
of stuff they pick, up at the Barranca; it
ought to be good enough for us. Better
give the nuns treasure rest for awhile"
From that moment it was no question
either Of pursuing Gen. del Prado or Of
attacking-just yet-Las Delicias. He
gathered his whole force and set out in
hot chase after Don Walter. fired by the
keenest zest for gain.

Corcovedo counted by rapid pursuit,
if not on capturing the fugitives, on fore
ing them to throw down their burdens,
the securing of which was far more i'm
portant for him. But Don Walter
pressing into the. service, besides, all the
mules he could lay hands on along the
way-got an extraordinary speed out Of
his heavy laden men. He hurled great
rocks down into the path behind him, and
covered his march with small rear guard
which kept the enemy in continual dread
of being ambuscaded.
The district was practically deserted.
the native laborers having fled for fear of
being seized for military duty; all doors
in Ell Jasmin were tightly closed, only
few dogs came out and barked at the
heels of the retreating warriors. At
night the rain came down heavily, and
they went on in soaked and sodden con-
dition, often knee deep in mud. their fire.
arms rusting even as they bore them. At
midnight, overcome with fatigue, they
camped at some deserted huts, but next
morning an ample breakfast and the re-
newed splendor of an unclouded sun re-
stored their spirits.
Retreating in this mastery manner,
it was not till the hamlet of Huetongo
was reached that they were overtaken
by the enemy, and even then only be-
cause Walter permitted it. He thought
best to make stand at this point, and
he fortified himself by leveling some of
the small houses and throwing barri
cade across the entrance of the main
street, from the fonda on one side to the
parish church on the other. He felt the
necessity of striking blow and holding
the adversaries severely in check, other
wise they would press too closely upon
the expedition at the critical moment Of
entering the Barranca, which could not
but have disastrous effect
Corcovedo advanced three times and
was as often beaten back, and when he
finally made himself master of the posi-
ton having at last adopted the policy
of setting fire to the buildings and NOV
ing by slow and cautious approaches
he found is had been deserted some time
before. Straight sticks, Stimulating mus
ket barrels, and hats stuck upon twigs
had been arranged to mislead him. So
enraged was he at the DECEPTION and at

Mr.. Teller, the Colorado senator,
poured some hot shot into the Z. S.
Senate. Among his statements were
these:
"Mr. President, the figures are alb
solutely startling when you consider
the condition of the country now
compared with 1879. In 1880 the
wheat crop of this country was only
100000 bushels more than the
wheat crop now. There were, l say,
only 5000, 900 bushels more of the
wheat crop in 1880 than now, but
the wheat crop of 1880 was worth
$1SO,OOO,OOO more than the wheat
crop last year. In 1882 the corn
crop was substantially 100000, 900
bushels less than it is now, and it

Co. Attorney Wilson, of Goodhue
Co., has made war on the Merritt
School Book matter. Quite likely,
Attorney Wilson is the nephew of
the Wilson of the great Cincinnati
Book Publishing Concern, Van Ant
werp, Bragg & Co., and his father
was a great backer OF the house in
that celebrated fight. We may not
know the merits of the question, but
we do know that the mile of terri
tory lying along the Iowa State line,
means a dollar on the Iowa side for
fifty cents on the Minnesota side.
The tyranny of the publishers trust,
and their corrupting influence on
school officers was something ter
rible even to remember!
