THE Judges of the United States cir
cult court, contrary to general eXpecta-
ton, granted the petition for an injunc.
ton to restrain the exposition manage
nlent from opening the fair on Sunday.
Three Judges heard the application.
Two were in favor and one opposed to
the injunction. An appeal to higher
court was made, and, during the pend
ency of the appeal, Chief Justice Fuller
suspended the writ of injunction and
permitted the fair to be opened on Sun
day. The appeal will be tried on
Thursday, and conclusion of the
whole matter reached before another
Sunday. -
A FRENCHMAN, an exhibitor at the
Worlds Fair, writes to the Netc York
Herald his views of the fair and of
Chicago. In the course of commune
cation that reads very much like some
of Dickens descriptions of America and
American customs in Martin Chuz-
ZleWIu, Une WrlleT says
"My first impression on entering the
Worlds Fair is complicated enough. l
cannot say that it is ugly, but what strikes
me is its absolute incongruity and the alb
sence of order There is in the disposition
of these enormous buildings beautiful dis
order, which cannot be taken, as Boileau
said, for the effect of art This observation,
which applies to the whole, can also be
applied TO the individual buildings. These
grand palaces of pasteboard, with rare ex-
ceptions, astonish by their immensely much
more than they charm by their architectural
beauty If you enter any of those buildings,
the same disorder is apparent. L know OF
nothing more incongruous or more dis
agreeable than the interior of the Palace OF
Manufactures. Why is there not more
uniformity in the composition of the differ
ent facades of the foreign nations? What
is the matter with those different archi
lectures which seem to snarl the one at the
other? Where is the architect-in-chief? TIC
do something big, to do something gigantic
to make something bigger than is in Paris
that is the only object which Chicago has
proposed to herself. To sum up, the
Worlds Fair is an immense thing, and
nothing else but immense"
Very likely there is strong infusion
of truth in what the Frenchman says
especially in his statement of "the only
object which Chicago has proposed to
herself" In bis judgment, New Yorl
city was the proper place for the fair.

The Trial of Lizzie Borden.

Not alone in the courthouse at New
Bedford is Lizzie Borden on trial for
the murder of her father and step
mother. In every country village in
New England the testimony is care
fully scanned, and the guilt or inno-
cence of the young woman debated.
The newspapers-certain OF them-are
taking an officious hand in the trial.
The Boston Journal, for example, is
the assiduous attorney of the accused,
and is doing what zeal and fiippancy
can do to embarass the prosecution
and to manufacture public sentiment
favorable to its client. That papers
correspondents at the seat of the trial
daily rehash the testimony, comment
upon it, and Systematically cheaper and
depreciate the evidence of the witnesses
for the state, but magnify into noun
tains every mole-hill of contradiction or
discrepancy an exceedingly adroit cross
examination throws up.
The theory of the prosecution is that
the prisoner is guilty because of the
following facts: She lived humdrum
sort of existence, in household with
out congenial associations, deprived of
those comforts of dress and living
which she coveted and which her father
was abundantly able to supply. The
old gentleman was exceedingly parsi-
monious, and the relations between the
daughters and step-mother were moi
pleasant. The house was like prison
Its doors were locked and bolted by
day as well as by night, and the inmates
customarily locked or secured the doors
of their individual apartments by day as
well as by night. On the day before
the murder the prisoner tried to buy
prussic acid, and during the night o.
the preceding day the family were al
sick, as if their food had been poisoned
She spoke of these things to her closes
friend and expressed a strange feeling
of apprehension that something dread
full was about to happen. She had beer
oppressed by this feeling for some days
and while her sister and the servan
were merry she was depressed. Sh

period when her sister was absent on
visit and herself and the servant wer

While her step-mother was engaged i

ATHENS, April 1.-THE island Of
Zante, one of the principal Ionian is-
lands, was visited by a most destruct-
i've earthquake this morning resulting
in great loss of life and property.
In February and March last the is
land sustained vast amount of DAM
age by seismic disturbances and
large number of lives were lost. The
sho'k this morning appears to have
been most violent in the city of Zante,
the greater part OF which was de.
S'royei. The people are panic stricken
and the authorities helpless. The
streets are iinpassable, being filled with
MASSES OF stone and timber from the
wreckage OF the houses, which were
thrown down by the earthquake
thus far the bodies Of twenty per
sons Killed by falling walls have been
removed from the debris. 1t is feared
that many more dead are still in the
ruins. The number Of persons injured
runs up in the hundreds. The greater
portion OF the inhabitants have fled to
the plains back of the city, where they
wander about in a distracted manner
bcWalling the loss of their homes and
property.
The shock occurred at 1880 o'clock

THE LAWS DEVIOUS WAYS.
How an Iowa Lawyer Collected Bad
Bills From Nebraska Debtors.


Bills From Nebraska Debtors.
Sioux City, June George T. Webster,
an attorney here, has built up a curious
business in collecting accounts from Ne
brasl1a railroad men. The laws of Ne
braslIa make such liberal exemptions of
wages of wOrkingmen from garnishment
that merchants in that state have great
difficulty in collecting bills. The Iowa
laws hold that aanOn-resident of the state
cannot have in Iowa the benefits
of another states exemption
laws. Under this law Webster
buys up claims against railroad
men IN Omaha, Lincoln and other Ne
braska cities, serves punishment papers
on the Iowa officials of the roads for
which the men work and enforces the
collection under the Iowa laws. Recently
he served these notices against seventy
Omaha men employed on the Union Pa
cific and an investigation proved that he
had had about 100 cases per month for
six months past. He got Judgment by
default in all of them, till a resistance
was made in a case recently and the
practice, which has been kept secret by
the justices OF the peace who handled the
cases here, was exposed. Similar cases
have been made at Council Bluffs. The
railroad men will endeay0r 10 secure
