SENSATIONAL,
An Unprecedented Occurrence in
Court.

FRIDAY, July 14.-Friday came, and
with it came the entire population OF
Pinchecoe. Every individual had either
been summoned as witness or had come
to he a spectator at the trial. The crowd
in the court room was crushing-every
seat was taken and every inch OF stand
ing room was occupied-while outside
the buildingth was acontinuousscram-
BILE for advantageous positions at doors
and windows, and men were stretching
their necks and cooking their ears that
they might see and hear what was going
on on the inside. A high plank fence on
the East side Of the building, and only a
few feet away, was so loaded with human
forms that at last it came down with a
crash, precipitating everybody to the
'parth. Nothing daunted by the mishap

countenance, and everybody could see
that something of Importance had been
spoken. Dan Burk retired to the front

his brother, Pat Burk. The Judge arose
from his seat and with the two Burk bows
entered the room where the Prosecuting

LAWYERS DAY.
Big Attorneys Meet and Squabble.

SATURDAY, July 15-If yesterdays con-
gregation of people at the trial was a
crowd, this is crush and jam.
Long before the hour set for opening
court every inch OF space was occupied
in the court room and the crowd on the
outside, who could not gain admittance,
reached to the middle of the street
Precisely at nine o'clock Mayor Light
foot's gavel fell and court was declared
open. The first order from the court was
that the Marshal clear the bar of all per
sons not connected with the trial, and that
all persons standing on the backs OF bench
es be requested TO either sit down or
get outside. After this confusion was
over the prisoners were brought in.
The Tierney boys we're the first to enter
with their guards. They recognized and
nodded to few friends among the spec
tators and then began conversation with
their attorneys. Dan Burk next came in
and smilingly shook hands and spoke a
few words to friends as he passed down
the aisle. Burk had telegraphed to
Greensboro for Attorney Rueben A. Mil
Ter to come up and defend him. Miller
had responded and was present This
was proof conclusive that 1t was going
t. be
HOT BATTLE.
The first discussion arose as to whether
all three of the accused should be tried
together or separately. The prosecution
moved that they be tried together, which
motion was sustained by the court. Mil
Ter then demanded a seperate trial for
his client, Dan Burk, and it was at last
agreed that his case be taken up first
This being settled the next move by the
prosecution was to ask for continuance,
This was objected TO by the defense, and
a demand was made for an immediate
trial for Burk.
The prosecution stated in substance that
they were not ready for trial; that all the
witnesses they had summoned were there
against the Tierneys and not Burk that
the unprecedented, startling turn the case
had taken the evening before by Burk
coming into the court room and confess
ing the murder had left them at sea; that
they would not release the Tierneys until
their innocence and the guilt of Burk
was conclusively proved, then Burk would
have TO prove his innocence before he
could go clear. These and lew other
complications made up the predicament
in which the Commonwealth was placed
and they asked time that they might OBJ
tain other testimony and somewhat
straighten matters out.
Miller was grand and eloquent in his
demands for an immediate trial for Burk,
bn, he was met at every point by Judge
D. A. Murray with language as impressive
and convicting. II was truly an oratori-
cal battle worth listening 10, and it held
The crowd with interest during the entire
forenoon. At last the court decided 10
grant continuance, and the case was set
Tor ten o'clock Monday morning.

Terms for the Electric Force.

About the middle of the last century, through the genius of Franklin, light ming became identified with common or frictional electricity, but the language referring to this great natural force con tinued to be the same as when men were ignorant of its nature They spoke. as we still speak, of a thunderstorm. and of thunder and lightning and thus. as in other cases, mistoOk, as we continue to do, at least !n our mode of speech, the effect for the cause. 1t is commonly said that the thunder turns to sourness the milk and the beer; that there is thunder in the air, and the singeing of a tree by lightning twas due to the thun- der last night, as its owner informed mo few weeks ago. Even Scott, in "The Heart of Midlothian, speaks of 'the shattered and thunder splitter peaks of AITan.
 Our gratitude is due to those gifted men who have been able to diyesl natural phenomena of the ignorance and superstition that formerly encum. bered them, and so to bring them under the dominion of scientific laws which appeal to the good sense Of all students of nature. Notes and Queries

English Policemen.

The police regulations in England are very different from those common in this country The policeman there is not nearly so autocratic as be is here and would never think of using club or striking man, except in self defense. j. Gilmer Speed gives this story of their mild sway;
 Upon one occasion a man came into my office and created a disturbance ordered hila out, Ee declined to go, so l sent for a policeman Asergeant came. said to him;
