per this morning, charged with selling liquor
to minors. 1t was alleged that the liquor

when questioned by Mr.. shinington, who rep
resented Barry, enid that he had never been to
Sunday school and did not know the meaning
Of AN oath. He did not know what would be
done with him if he should testify falsely.
The judge held that he was an incompe-
tent witness. and without the little boys
testim ony the proof Was insufficient to convict
Barry and the case against him was dismiss ed.
Barry's defense was tina. the boy presented a
note from his mother and the officer discovered
him before he had time to deliver the liquor to
her.

Dr Patterson remarked that II person re-
FUSED abundance to the beach wanted to 60 in
the winter he could 60 a short distance down
the beach and so in. The batber would nc
doubt be in greater danger. but in event of his
being drowned the reputation of the beach
would be saved.
There was discussion between the coroner
and Officer Cot;er az to the location of the
mite measurements to give to the Jury.
1t was the intention Of the coroner to post
pone action until tomorrow, in order to take
additional testimony, as none Of the deceased's
companions were present to tell of the last
minutes he, had on earth.
VERDICT IN sHEAHAN's CASE.
The jury, however, thought the testimony
sufficient and returned verdict that the said
Patrick Sheahan came to his death between 4
and O'Clock p. m. July "a, 1892, at the bathing
beach from accidental drowning.
"In the opinion of the Jury it is absolutely
necessary to the safety Of persons bathing there
that several stakes indicating the depth of
water at the beach should be placed and kent
there. At present there are only three on the
beach, and they are on tho lower half;
also that batteau or Hfeboat
manned by on expert boatman and swimmer
and proper life-ssving appliances should patrol
the beach at all hours when bathing 10 allowed.
II these suggestion are carried out we believe
the beach win be practically safe; still at pres
emit, We believe it to be safer than any other
place that We know Of. I"
Last year there were three persons drowned
Of the beach, two being drowned In one day.
Tbs beach was then closed for the season. TIE
two cascs Of drowning this season have caused
many unfaverable comments ON the beach, but
the friends Of the beach still maintain That tbe

The punishment inflicted ON Private Iams of

Guard, stationed at Homestead, Pa, Saturday
afternoon for proposing three cheers for the
man who shot Chairman Prick formed the
principal subject in Nstional Guard circles in
New York city yesterday. The consensus of
opinion seems to be that the punishment wus
unprecedented and bsrbarous, and Col Streator
was loudly denounced for not giving the man
the benefit Of q oourt-msrtial
Brigadier General Emmons Clark, the former
commander Of the seventh regiment, said: "Col
Streator's action has no precedent in this state.
The military code Of New York would not sdmit
Of such extreme punishment OF course we
cannot judge Of the conditions ct Homestead,
but it seems to me that the punishment was car.
ried to the extreme. A there was no martial
law proclaimed at Homestead do not zee how
Iams could have been punished without milf

. civil action against Col. Streator"
