MAGISTRATES, JURISDICTION.
II was not Extended by the Last
Legislature.

The supreme court in its decision to the
effect that the act giving magistrates
jurisdiction of assaults with deadly
weapons is imperative, said:
THE constitution restri .ts the uris-
diction of magistrates in criminal mat
tcrs to cases where the punishment can
not exceed fine Of $50 or Imprisonment
for thirty days 1t is not competent
therefore for the legislature to confer
jurisdiction upon magistrates of any
otlenses of which the punishment affixed
by law may exceed that limit. The code,
section 9S7, which was not amended,
still prescribes that the punishment tor
assaults with a deadly weapon may be
by fine and Imprisonment, i'll the dscre-
tion of the court. 1t is true that the
code, section 800, as amended by chap.
1872, acts 1891, purports to give
magistrates exclusive original lu-
risdction of all assaults in which
no serious damage is done
and of all criminal matters arising in
their counties where the punishment pre-
Scribed by law shall not exceed fine OF
fifty dollars or imprisonment for thirty
days. We might surmise that the in
tention was to confer jurisdiction upon
magistrates in cases where, though a
deadly weapon was used, no serious
damage was inflicted. But the punish
ment for assaults with deadly weapon
in all cases, whether serious damage is
or is not inflicted, being lett unchanged,
fine and imprisonment in the discretion
of the court, whatever may or may not
have been the legislative intent in amend
ing the Code, sec. S92, the amendatory
act could not confer upon the Justice S
court jurisdiction of an offence the pun
ishment affixed to which may exceed the
constitutional limit of such court"

Italian cabinet had decided to request
United States Minister Porter to leave

except what he has gained from the

In well informed circles the prevailing
opinion is that the premier will not pro-

is argued that whatever beneficial effect
such display OF vigor might have in in

The acting Secretary of the Treasury
has issued a warrant for the payment OF
81 600, 900 ON account OF pensions aggre-
eating $50 900 ,0AQ, due during the quar-
ter ending March /. The latter amount
represents the available cash balance OF
the treasury; SO only the treasury sur
plus that will exist after these payments
shall have been met will be the excess
of the receipts over the other eXpendi-
lures during that period, which is now
estimated at less than $l0,000,000.
The estimated number OF farm animals
made at the end of each year and return
able in January to the Department OF
Agriculture shows that there is very lit
tie change except on the Pacific Coast

lSS9-90 was unusually severe. The loss
was especially heavy on the Pacific Coast.
II is estimated the number of sheep is
1881 200. \ tendency to increase the
number is seen in most OF the States,
though the heavy losses from the severe
winter last year on the Pacific Slope de
creased the aggregate.
The report of Prof. Elliott, the Com
missioner appointed to investigate the
seal fisheries, has not been presented to
Congress vet. 1t is held bv Secretary
Blaine. The reports of the special agents

out that, unless the killing OF seals was
stopped for number of years, it won I
be long till there will be no seals to kill.
Last year the North American Company,
which got lease from the government,
killed 81 900. 1t had a right to kill co.
0O0 the first year and 100000 each year
following, The old Alaska Seal Company
has gone out of business. Prof. Elliott
thinks the absolute stopping of seal
catching for seven years would make the
fisheries once more valuable. Should
any arrangement b. made for preventing
seal catching during q giveK period, the
United States would not be liable to the
North American Company for any fail
IRE. The company took the lease sub
ject to such conditions.

History of a Locomotive.

There lately entered the Grand Central
depot the other day locomotive with a
tragic history. 1t was the locomotive
which drew train to the first frightful
railroad accident that ever occurred. Up
to 1913, while there had been some catas-
trophies on the railroads, there had been
none accompanied by great slaughter, but
that year this engine drew q part of a
train on the New Haven road into an open
draw at Norwalk and caused q great loss
of life. The accident was the sensation
of the year The engine was fished out
and repaired, and has been running on
the road ever since.
A singular circumstance connected with
this accident is that it indirectly proved
the fortune of the man whose incorrect
signals caused it. He fled and settled in
western Pennsylvania, and was the vic
tim for many years of remorseful reflec-
lions on his carelessneSs. But it was this
man who first dug an oil well in what is
now the oil region and developed this
colossal industry.-New York Evening
