EXPLANATORY.
Xst t)se Case of George 4. Corrjocass
as. Henry K7tnte.

1t was charged during the trial
of the above case that some i'm
proper influence had been brought
to bear upon a certain member of
the jury, and for that reason the
jury was discharged at plaintiffs S
request.
The facts are as follows: The
trial commenced Tuesday, and
proceeded until six o'clock, when
a recess was taken until next
morning, All persons left the
court room nearly in a body, and
proceeded down town on the way
to their several homes or hotels.
James Rumsey, who was one of
the jurors, and myself, as had
been our custom almost every day
of the term, were near together
because he boarded and lived on
the Ccntralia side Of the river,
and because Of the further fact
that we have been quite we'll &C
quaintcd ever since | have been
in the county, which is about
seventeen years. | think Rumsey
was walking and talking with the
Judge on his way down from the
court house, but am not sure as to
whether that happened on this
particular day or not. At any
rate, when we came to the corner
Of the bank, Rumsey and myself
turned to the left, and when we
came 10 Frank Pomainville's IS, both
went in without any invitation
from either. 1t was after long
and dresome sitting in court In
the saloon at the bar were two
others with whom ] was acquain-
ted, one Of whom holds his office
with one of the attorneys on the
opposite side of the case. We all
drank. I paid for it, | think.
This was in broad daylight, and
we entered the front door in sight
of fifty or more people who were
passing along from the court
house,
Coming out Immediately. we
crossed the river to Centralia
One or both of these two other
persons walked with us, and on
this side, at the corner Of the post
office, after a little delay, we sep
arated and / walked home to sup
per with one of Mr.. Corriveau's S
sons, Corriveau being plaintiff and
| being one of the attorneys for
defendant Everything was in a
most friendly spirit. Neither courz
nor case zyaS mentioned, and / did
not see any of the jurors again
until came into court next morn
ing. Was busy all the evening
with Judge Williams and Gardner,
at Mr.. Williams office.
When | came into court the
next morning, ] was surprised to
find that counsel for plaintiff
claimed that | had been attempt
ing TO exercise some improper
influence over this particular
member Of the jury, and it was
conceded that the state of facts as
| have stated it. was all there was
about the matter In forming
your opinion, bear in mind our
acquaintance; that it occurred il
broad daylight, in the presence O
some who were nearly allied tc
the other side Of the case, tina
We had -a pursue the same way

III the car stove were not a fetch of the

numerous holocausts that have occurred re-
Gently would have some effect on these corpo-
rations. The public conscience is somewhat
disturbed over the burning of the women and
children yesterday near Indianapolis, but the
corporation conscience is serene as a mid-May
morning. The people are troubled because
they have not driven their legislators to fix
punishments for such crimes of atrocious
negligence. There ought to be some legisla-
tion IN every state on this subject and it
ought to be rigidly enforced. The car stove
has been abolished in New York and other
states. Why not in all the states and territories
Of this Union? Are corporation greed and corpo-
ration convenience the standard of legislation?
Have the lives of the people no value in the
eyes Of legislatures when railroad interests are
in the way?

The decision of the Supreme Court yesterday
IN the North Carolina bond cases, while i'm
portant In itself is still more so on account Of
the fact that it covers large number of similar
suits from louisiana and other states In brief
the opinion Of the court is that a bill will not
lie to effect foreclosure and sale of state stock
In railroads or to obtain possession of property
belonging to state, for the plain reason that
the state is a necessary party and under the
eleventh amendment of the Constitution can
not be sued Many millions OF dollars are ILL
yOlyed in this bond litigation.

American tailor charges for clothes and the

An important step in the settlement of the
Affairs Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal was
taken yesterday. Judge Cox announced that
he had decided to appoint receivers for the
canal on the application of the bond holders of
1878, and it is expected that Judge Alvey Of the
circuit court Of Washington county will make
. similar decision applicable TO the part of the
canal in Maryland. The state of Mary
land, not to be behind the other
htigants, may institute proceedings
TO foreclose under its mortgage Of
1885. 1t is no. clear what the result of the
various court proceedings will be. The success
Of the application of the bond holders of 1878
would be expected to result in favor of the
projects Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
since that road holds majority of the 1878
bonds. But the appointment of receivers to get
the canal into condition Tor sale would not
seem to be injurious to any interest, whoever
the party might be upon whose application the
appointment was made. Restoration of the
water way, if that we're feasible and advisable,
would be a method of preparing the canal for
sale. II the of the canal for railroad purposes
were contemplated rival interests to the party
foreclosing would have the opportunity to bid
at the foreclosure sale. The bond holders Of
1S44. whose lien Is only upon the revenues of
the canal, are, however, interested in securing
its operation under receiver or through a
lease. and in preventing its sale outright The
proposition to lease, introduced in the Mary
land legislature, will, it is thought, come to
nothing in view of the court proceedings
pending and contemplated Washington
wishes, first, the restoration Of the waterway,
il that can be accomplished in such way as to
give promise Of successful operation; or, Sec
Ond, the speedy establishment of a competing
Line of railroad along the canal bed, if it is to
be devoted to railroad uses
