Gentlemen of the jury" said Judge
Noonan, "you are dismissed until 8
O'Clock; we have been playing this
morning. come back at 3 and we may
! have some work to do"
Every one in the court room appre-
ciated the pleasant humor of the
Judge in view of the fact that the two
juries had been industriously grind
ing out verdicts, without leaving their
| seats, against the gam blers from 10 In
the morning until p. m.
We doubt if in the whole republic
such q court scene could be repro
duced as was gone through with yes
terday in Judge Noonan's court.
Certainly no more expeditions grind
ing of the mills of justice could be in
vented. The efficient district attor-
ney and his assistant, in each case
where the plea of guilty" was en-
tered, went through the form of hav-
ing the juries sworn, reading the
indictments and entering up the
stereotyped verdict of S25 fine and ten
days in Jail.
The unctious and rather preacher
like tones of Capt. Houston's voice
blended with the more decided and
combative accent of the district at
torney, but sounding very like the
ritual responses resounding through
the vaulted arches of q cathedral.
Then the two priests with their
shining pates would pop down to
the the table, as If in silent prayer,
while in fact they were writing the
verdicts against mulcted CHANDELIERS.

to the feeling of horror which had spread
through the city. The scenes in the streets
and in the houses after this fearful eNplo-

equaled in dramatic effect during the his
tory of modern Rome. Many fell uron
their knees and prayed aloud. Finally,
when something like order had been re-
stored. the real cause OF the explosion be-
came known. 1t was discovered that the
immense powder magazine at Pozzo Panta-

and that it had caused enormous damage
to the neighboring fort. The shock
