mass OF humanity, all eager to witness the clos
| Ing scenes in the trial of d. II. Arnold for the
| shooting of Samuel w. Garness.
Even within the railing every seat was oceu-
pied and every foot of standing room was pre-
empled by eager listeners.
Baillff Mccarthy, as Is Ills custom rose to meet

stances. He had managed 10 find seats in the
vicinity OF the reporters table for his constitu-
| ents, and frowned down all efforts to dislodge
| them.
The Car OF all the Russias is not more abso-
lutte nor more OneDsiYely tyrannical than is this
peculiar bailiff, and lie wields bis power with an
| iron hand.

scene.
Next her sat Geneva, the eldest daughter,
holding her mothers hand. and at times the big
