WOODLAND PARK CUTTING AFFAIR.
Joyce anu aIiran Dismissed Yesterday.

Joyce anu Migan Dismissed Yesterday.
The case Of j. T. Joyce, charged with
cutting James Migan, an employee of
the American Bridge Works, last Thurs
day night, was heard by Justice Hover
ton yesterday.
Roy b. Smith, the commonwealth
attorney, was present at the time, and
the justice stated the matter was trying
to be compromised, and he did not wish
to be responsible for the evidence given.
lie asked Mr.. Smith to examine the
witnesses.
Migan said he did not remember the
circumstance at all. He know he was
cut, however, and that Joyce did it, but
he did know under what provocation.
Two other witne sses were examined,
but they intimated that both men were
drinking and were good friends all
along.
Mr.. Smith said he thought that unde r
the circumstances the case might be
dismissed, witnesses seeming to make
it as light as possible on either party.
Squire Donnelly was present as an
arbitrator and thought the best dispo-
sition that could be made of the matter
was to dismiss it, which was agreed
upon by the magis trate.

How the Beautiful Wood Was Discovered
and brought into Use.

How the Beautiful Wood Was Discovered
and brought into Use.
The discovery of the beautiful and
costly timber known as mahogany was
purely accidental. The first mention
made of it, says the Detroit Free Press
was by Sir Waiter Raleigh, who used
1t In 1897 ut Trinidad for repairing his
ships. About the beginning of the
eighteenth century small quantity Of
it was taken to England by a West In
dia captain named Gibbons, who sent n
few planlls to his brother, n physician
residing III London. This gentleman, at
the time OF the receipt of the wood, was
having house built, and placed the
planks i'll the hands of the carpenters.
They attempted TO cut it, but because
OF its hardness very quickly threw it
aside. The doctor expostulatcd, but
the workmen remained fixed in their
determination to have nothing to do
with a lumber which so successfully
resisted their attempts to saw it, The
planks were then taken to n cabinet
maker named Wollaston, who was di-
rected to make 4 candlc-boX with Dor
ton OF the wood. The same objection
was advanced by this workman, but be-
Ing persevering individual, he per-
sisted and finally made the box. When
polished it so outshone any thing pre-
viously made that it very quickly be-
came an object of cur iosity, and the
people Hooked to sec it.
AS consequence the wood became
quite popular, especially after portion
OF the physicians treasure was en-
ploycd in the construction of two
bureaus, one for himself and the other
for the Duchess of buckingham. These
specimens Of cabinet work caused the
