Judge Mcbride was yesterday talk
ing over anecdotes of strange court
trials, as a result of which innocent
men have been convicted and hung or
sent to Jail. The judge recalled an in
stance in his own career where jury
convicted, and he was about to sem
tence, man for robbery, against whom
the strongest possible case had been
made out, when it was found conclu-
svely that the prisoners story was
absolutely true, and the deductions
drawn by the jury all false. A French
lean near Oregon City about eight
years ago went to a private house and
wanted to buy cookstove. He want
ed it badly, but the woman who owned
it declined to sell, Four days after, the
house was robbed and the stove taken
The woman's suspicious were aroused
against the Frenchman. His house was
searched, and, sure enough, there was
the cookstove. He was arrested and
tried. The defence was that he had
bought the stove from en- unknown
man who was passing his residence
with the article in a wagon He
could not describe this man, didn't re-
member what the wagon looked like,
and altogether, the story looked very
fishy. The prisoner was convicted and
the Judge was about to pass sentence,
when brawny Irishman came for
ward and said that the Frenchman's
story was true, and that he, himself,
had sold him the stove. The Irishman
was the plaintiffs husband. and not
desiring to get irto hot water with his
old woman had waited until all the
chances of the innocent mans acquittal
lad gone before making the confession.
Judge Mcbride re-opened the case, and
promptly released the prisoner.

The Sabin- Ossima case took up the
attention of the Circuit Court all day
yesterday and well into the night. II
will be continued to day, notwithstand-
ing the fact that several bushels OF
conflicting testimony have been an
loaded on the much suffering judge.
Messrs. Cox, Teal, & Minor, Green,
and John H. Smith are appearing for
the plaintiff, and Clyde Fulton and A.
R. Kanaga are looking out for the in
terests of Ossima and Lorin. The case
is an important one inasmuch as it
opens up a question that has never be-
fore been tested in the Supreme Courts
of this state-viz. whether a man can
purchase retail store property from
another, knowing that the seller is en-
numbered with debts to wholesalers.
In all probability the case will be taken
up to the higher courts after Judge
McBride's decision is given.

Southern History.

The Southern Society of New %
has undertaken a work which s6{E
have the sympathy and aid of the peo-
pie of the South.
The Society is no longer club in
the ordinary acccptation of the term,
and will henceforth pursue the main
object for which it was established.
This is the collection of Southern his
torical works.
A committee has been formed for
the special purpose of making such
collection, and desires the cooperation
of the Southern press.
The Baltimore Sun says of this en-
terprise:
Justice has never been dono to the
history of the Southern States, espe-
cially in Colonial times. In the more
thickly populated North there were
more newspapers and there have been
always more writers and collectors of
literary material than in the South.
1t is one of the objects of the South
ern Society to remedy all this and to
make accessible material of a IN ore
privaty nature which will be in NE W
York ready for the future business
and for present reference. Not many
years ago Mrs. Smede's book descript-
i've of Southern plantation life, as IL
Illustrated by the Dabney family, at
tracted the attention of Mr.. Gladstone
and was highly commended by that
competent critic not only for Its in
trinsic literary merit, but because it
! described in faithful manner civ
ilization that now no longer exists.
The South is filled with material for
just such books, and it should be the
patriotic duty of the Southern people
| to justify themselves by its production.
Because of the institution of slavery,
which was forced upon the Southern
people, they have been held up to the
world as a semi-barbarous people,
cruel and arrogant. And the South
ern people, whilst entirely conscious
of the falsehoods under which they
have suffered, have taken but It'll Q
trouble to vindicate themselves in tire
eyes of the world. For their complete
vindication it is only necessary that
the trouth should be known. Time is
bringing this to pass, and the South
ern society has addressed itself to
good work, in which every patriotic
Southerner should aid.

Preparing for war.

An interesting fact in regard to the
strike among the coal miners of Kan
sas has been made public. 1t is that
negroes imported from Alabama,
Tennessee aud other States to take the
places of the strikers have been placed
under military discipline.
They ale confined in well-buiIt

Captain Cleary, of St. Louis is in
charge of the negroes. Captain Cleary
is famous for his service in protecting
property during the great Burlington
strike, and also duhng the Southwes-
