THE BURoHELL TRIAL.
Introduction of Testimony in Behalf of
the Defense.

Introduction of Testimony in Behalf of
the Defense.
WooDsrocK (Ont.), September 9th
The Crowns evidence concluded yesterday
and the defense began the introduction of
testimony. The prisoner still retains the
utmost eomposure.
DIR. Mearns took the stand as witness
for the defense, and gave expert testimony
concerning wounds and bruises.
He was of the opinion that a body fall
ing forward, dead, and striking upon an
uneven surface, would not infiict such
wounds as were found on Benwell. He
thought they must have been received at
least twenty-four hours before death, con-
sidering their appearance.
DR.. Richardson of Toronto, Professor of
Anatomy in the University Medical School,
was the next expert witness.
After considerable discussion on the mat
ter OF the bruises, etc., the evidence was pro-
ceeded with. Norman Mcqueen testified
that he saw Burchell il Woodstock on Feb
ruary 18th last. He remembered the date
particularly, and gave reasons. He had
known Burchell some time.
After another witness was examined
Blackstock said the case for the prisoner
was concluded except two or three wit
nesses. This evidence would be produced
Monday.
Judge Mcmahon said the case must go to
the jury Monday evening, and after some
discussion it was decided that the evidence
should be considered closed now. The
Judge told the jury that he wanted them
not to reach any opinion until they had
heard the case presented by the counsel
and himself.
Burchell showed some signs of nervous
ness and excitement to-day, and is evil

HALIFAX, September 81 IA special
dispatch from Charl0ttetown, Prince Ed

Comment on the Fight.
LONDON, September 27th-The evening
papers make only the curtest criticisms
upon the Slavin- McAuliffe fight, which
lasted just six minutes and resulted in an
easy victory for SlaYin.
The 81, James Gazette says. Nobody is
in any way the worse for the fight. unless
it is those who paid large sums to share
in the mild entertainment.
The Pau Mall Gazette says. Spectators
could not congratulate themselves on hay-
ing their moneys worth of punching, The
result is strange commentary upon the
weeks of preparation the vanauished
boxer had undergone. Slavin will retire
from the ring.

New YORK, September 27th.-A special
from Washington quotes Acting Secretary

reference to the issue of Treasury notes OF

to issue any more notes now, as the circu-
lation of legal tender and silver certificates
is up to the legal limit. New York silver
men say that over 81 100000 worth of sill
yer bullion remains uncoined in Washing
ton, and that the immediate issue of GER
tifcates OF small denominations to the
amount OF the coming value of this bullion
will be urged.

Boy Burned to Death.

DEFIANCE (ohio), September 27th.-At
Midway switch, three miles from here, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, this
morning, freight trains running in opposite
directions coliided. Thomas Brownson
and his son, aged II, emigrants from New
Statesville, Perry county, Ohio, were in the
car next to the engine. Next behind them
was an oil car. When the collision took
place the oil car telescoped the car in front
of it and then exploded. Brownson sue
coed in getting out, though in badly
bruised and burned condition; but his boy,
who was caught in the wreck, was literally
roasted before the eyes of mis- agoniged
father. The locomotive was completely
ruined, and several cars were burned.

A Dangerous Power.

It will be seen from an article pub lished on the first page of this weeks issue, copied from the Tucson Star, that Governor Wolhey has asked con gress to confer on him the power to remove territorial and county officers. The Herald was of the opinion, when such report was first circulated, that it was a hoax. We had no idea there was man in the United States who, in this enlightened day and generation would have the hardihood, the unmit- igated gall, to ask any legislative body to clothe him with such extraordinary power. Let the reader think for a moment and he can realize the un- limited sway man with such author ity would have in a state or territory. With power to remove officers, either county or territorial, he would have absolute or supreme control of the entire territory. The counties could elect and send their representatives to the legislature, and unless they obeyed the mandates of King Wolfey it would be in his power to remove them and appoint others to fill their places who would be subservient to his every wish and desire. It would be seen that he could thus shape legislation to suit his own sweet will. He would also have it in his power to remove all other county officials elected by the people. so that he could have his willing tools occupy every official position in the the territory. Invest him with this power, and what would he the necessi
 ty of running the territory and coun- ties to the expense of holding an elec
 ton? Why not let his Imperial Maj esty, Lewis l, appoint all officialsf Judging from his actions since he has occupied the position of governor, he would unhesltatingly and unblushing- ly use the power-if it be given him to place his immediate followers in every position of any note in every county in the territory, and would be absolute monarch, so long as held the power over the political liberties of the people of Arizona. Had he not such intentions he would not volun- tarily have subjected himself to the merciless criticisms which he knew if he knows anything-would follow immediately upon the heels of any such request.-St. Johns Herald.

Coming Railroads.

The prospects for the construction of railway from Ensenada to the head of the Gulf of California and onward, along the west shore of the Colorado, to Yuma, are most en- couraging. A corps of engineers have penetrated as far as the Cocopah placers and will soon reach Hanlon's Ranch situated few miles down the river. So far, it is reported, no i'm portant engineering difficulties have been encountered, and as the Penin- sula route is said to be backed with ample capital and lucrative conces- besides presenting unusual advan- tages in affording deep sea outlets in the Pacific and Gulf of California, for the products of Arizona, New Mexico and the States and Territories touch ing upon the Colorado further north, besides making tributary vast extent of virgin but fertile country, it is doubtless destined to completion, and that, too, before long. The surveyors are also laying out route for an ex- tensive irrigation canal, whereby inn mense areas of land will be brought under cultivation. All of which nec- essarily, must rebound to the benefit of this country.
 Not long since Robt. B. Stanton, Chief Engineer of the Denver, Colo rado Canyon and Pacific Railway, and party, reached the Needles after a long and exhaustive examination oi the Canyon. Construction to that point is pronounced entirely feasible and ill a few short weeks the party will resume their journey on to Yuma It is stated that building will soor commence and once begun, will be driven through with all possible speed Should such prove the case this town will immediately spring into commer cial importance by commanding tho services of the Peninsular R. R. tc Mexico and the sea, the Southern Pacific east and west, and the Stanton route north and south. The central izing of these roads at Yuma vii transform it from quiet village to { great distributing point, making i the Kansas City of the Pacific Coast Yuma Times.

THERE is already some talk in po- litical circles of an attempt to be made during the next session of the legisla- ture to thwart all good and wholesome legislation as means of "getting even" upon the courts and the execu- tive for turning out the hold-over democrats from office. Of course this talk originates with few political strikers who are ready to seize upon any pretense to excite discord among the people and to use them at the polls to further their own selfish ends. If they pursue, the course usual to partisan contests this scheme will likely be one of the secret pledges ex- acted of legislative candidates, the very thought of which is enough to open the eyes of all good people to the danger at this particular crisis of sup porting party nominees and becoming the tools of the Assembling tricksters, to their own sorrow. That such an element of discord and wrangle is to enter into the deliberations of that body is plainly hinted, and the mana gers of both parties will consequent ly put forth their greatest efforts to control the legislature and will resort to all the usual and unusual means of corruption known to political science to accomplish ends that are objection able to the people and are inspired by spite and malice. The removal of the territorial capital, so long a bone of bitter contention, was productive of the most fragrant jobbery in our leg islation, and it is no sooner removed than up comes another bugaboo as a warn the people who have the inter- ests of the public at heart that schemes are being laid in both parties for oppressive, extravagant and disastrous legislation, and that their only safety lies in the organization of an inde- pendent movement and the selection and support of only good and tried men to our legislative halls. Let there be a complete revolution this time in the interests of good government and give the overworked bosses a chance to rest for awhile.

The Territories,

A late Washington dispatch says: "The Idaho admission bill was taken up and Dubois earnestly advocated the admission of idaho, criticizing the minority report. He said it was proposed that bigamists and polyga- mists should vote in Idaho asked what right had the members of the minority to impose upon Idaho conditions which never before had been imposed upon any state coming into the Union. Brave pioneers who had gone to Idaho, abandoned all party ties and united in saying that we earnestly desire statehood, but we desire it only for American citizens. Smith of Ari- zona earnestly denounced the action of the committee on territories in failing to report the bill for the admis- sion of Arizona. His people had been unfairly treated. Arizona had every qualification for statehood, but the bill for her admission was to be smoth- cred in the committee simply because she had seen fit to send democrat to congress. Smith said that the terri tory of New Mexico, with a population greater than Idaho and Wyoming combined, was also kept in the back ground, and, he asked, was it because poor Joseph (the delegate) had started wrong in his youth and had become a democrat. Chipman, while favorlng the admission of the territories, criti- cized the proposed constitution of Ida ho as an invasion of sacred individual and religious rights. Polygamy was a crime which should not be tolerated by the constitution. The courts are the only asylums against passion and corruption. Perkins also spoke in favor of the bill, and pending further debate the house adjourned"

 This is fight that no one should be ashamed of; that it will not be pleasant to many of the politicians and that they will fume and froth, and call hard names, cannot be doubt ed; but that should not intimidate nor deter any one from coming to the front and boldly standing by the right.
 The tax payers have blindly followed the politicians long enough. They have loaded on the shoulders of the people an enormous debt with but little to show for it; they have increas- ed taxation until it almost amounts to confiscation, and still they don't want to let go; but if the people are true to themselves they will at the next election take from both of the great parties tried and true men for their public servants, and thereby raise the credit and prosperity of the territory to a standard that capital will flow in to develop our vast min ing and agricultural resources and will show to the world that we are law-loving and law-abiding people, and than there will be no excuse for a Governor to refuse to execute laws at his own pleasure or to ask Congress to pass laws because they were once on the statute books of the territory and were repealed, and hence Con- gress should re-enact them; or refuse to submit judicial questions to the courts simply because there will be delay in arriving at decisions SAMUEL HUGHES.
