a pure accident" repeats Arthur,
from between his colorlcss lips.
He looks far more distressed by this
occurrence than Sir Adrian, who had
narrowly escaped being wounded. This
only showed his tenderness and proper
feeling, as almost all the women pre-
sent mutually agreed. Almost al, but
not quite. Dora Talbot, for example,

Florence changes color and glance5
at her host with parted lips. Dora Tai

to him as if impulsiycly, and takes hi&;
hand in both hers.
"Dear Sir Adrian, how can we be
thankful enough for your escape: she
says sweetly tears stan ing in her
bright blue eyes. She presses his hand
warmly, and even raises it to her lips
in transport of emotion. Standing
there in the pretty pink dressing-gown
that shows off her complexion to per-

"You are very good-very kind" re-
turns Sir Adrian, really touched by
her concern, but still with eyes only
for the white vision in the doorway;
but you make too much of nothing. I

The word lily brings back to him his

erected. They were each decorated diff

very tastefully and Enthusiastically. One

COWr1lNyS.

In the district court that has nearly
finished its three weeks. the time allotted
by law for the term. and as yet not {
single civil case has been reached on the
docket for trial. The cases tried are:
State vs. David Morrow, charged with
selling liquor contrary to law; verdict
of the jury. guilty.
State vs. Joseph Dillon. assault: ver-
dict. not guilty.
The State vs. W. Hart. guilty.
The State VS. c. Hart, guilty.
The State vs. Pfifer. guilty.
The jury have found verdicts of guilty
in every case but one. State vs. Dillon
The most important case thus far tried
is the State vs. Pfifer. The state was
represented by County Attorney Madison
assisted by Chas. Messerly and NJ. W
Sutton. and the defendant by James T.
Whitelaw and Capt. Harvey McGarry'
The defendant was charged with arson
the burning of r. E. Burns residence in
the south part Of the county. in the nigh,
time. The case was vigorously contested
by the attorneys for the defense. every
conceivable objection being made and
earnestly urged by them. The state
made very strong case on circumstan-
cial evidence and then to complete the
case introduced the confession of the
defendant. This introduction of con-
fession was resisted by defendants cOun-
ell. aud was got before the jury after
every legal objection had been raised by
them and overcome by the state. The
conduct of the trial by the state was fair
but exceeding skillful. The arguments
to the jury on the part of Mr.. McGarry
and Judge Whitelaw were very strong
and apparently convincing. until County
Attorney Madison made his appeal to the
jury for a conviction. He took up the
confession and showed wherein every
part of the circumstance corrobOrated
the confession, and so strong. eloquent
and convincing was his address that the
Jury returned a verdict in twenty min
utes. establishing the guilt of the de-
PENDANT. 1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Pfifer
that he should have allowed his thirst
for revenge against the complaining wit
ness. Mr.. Burns. to get possession of
him to such an extent as to cause him to
set fire to house in which were sleep
ing five innocent children. Pfifer is a
man we'll along in life. and for the crime
the punishment cannot be less than ten
nor more than twenty one years in the
penitentiary.
Considering the defendants age. his
rather feeble health. it means that when
the door of the prison closes on him that
he bids farewell to liberty. to love, to

from it only by death. If his case is a

in the opera house. Before the curtain
rose nearly every seat was occupied. and
some stood throughout the whole per-

of dress and banner flashed and SHIN

skill of the drill-master. Mr.. H. Juneau,
as well as the immense amount of labor
spent in preparing. The appreciation of
the audience was displayed by oft-re-
peated bursts of applause as some unus-
ually pleasing evolution was made. The
drill continued more than half hour,
and the longer it lasted the more intense
became the interest.
At the close of the drill "Ye Old
Folke's Concerto" was presented, the
singers all wearing antique costume.
Not all the songs were among those sung
by our great graHdfathers. but were
selected on account of their O!d-fash-
toned meledious ring and sentiment
that leads one to reflect on the days of
yore. Altogether we believe it was one
of the most pleasing. unique and gener-
ally successful entertainments that has
ever been presented to our people.
