One of the saddest cases that
e struck up with during my visit
around this negro section was at
an old negro shanty where happy
family of seyen,once liyed-an old
man and his wife and FIVE chill
dren.
When we reached the spot whsge
his house once stood we found the
old negro weeping; keeping guard
over his loved ones, and it was all
we could do to get him away in
order thatthe dead could be buried.
This is only one of the sad. in
stances of the terrible storm, for
in several cases whole families
were swept out of existence.

tho result is number of unpaid bills
and dearth of the needful.
colored man was run over by the
train and killed at Cooper's, and one
near the Shawnee Coal Company's
operation, on the Ohio extension, Sat.
urday night. Some suppose they were
drunk and had laid down on the track
and gone to sleep. as the weather was
bitterly cold, but others arc inclined to
the belief that they were first murdered
and placed on the track to give sem
blance to having been run over by the
train and killed
1 here is foreboding OF q storm among
the different coal operatives in regard
to taking the tariff Off coal They
believe that it will be ruin to them aud
will necessi;ate the closing OF their
respective mines. Some arc of tho opin.
ion that it will result in political re.
volution in West Virginia, should coal
BIO put on the free list, as now seems
moro than probable.
The smallpox scare has reached this
town and section, and all persons re-
siding in the city are required to be

the necessary precautions will be taken
to prevent its entrance among the peo-
pie
G. Il +. Burnley has resigned his posi-
ton as uperintendent OF the mines to

in it and there are hopes for their
speedy recovery and return to their

tons in main, with one or two modifi
cations. The notifications wero &C
cepted by tho counsel and Judge Woods

When the instructions had been read

cluded,
j. L. Stafford, who assisted Mr.. Hard.
away for tho commonwealth, made the
opening speech for the prosecution, and
said he regretted to appear in his
present capacity. Mr.. Stafford said:
II regret to see this young man, the
prisoner at the bar, who is now in the
bloom Of manhood, to be tried for the
most heinious crime on the pages of tho
BLACKLIST catalogues OF crimes. l enter
tain no luminosity towards the prisoner,
but have a duty to perform, and /
shall perform that duty though it will
hang the prisoner, who, believe, is
guilty of the foulest crime that ever
blsckened the pages in the annals Of
civilized history"
Mr.. Stafford then explained to the
jury the difference between murder,
homicide, granddaughter and voluntary
manslaughter and went carefully over
the evidence OF the witnesses, both for
the prosecution and defense. The
speaker occupied ono hour and twenty.
five minutes.
R. Scott, the frs. speaker for the
defense, then took the stand and at
once began to review the testimony of
the witnesses and 10 break down the
theory advanced by the com mon wealth.
Mr.. Scott made forcible and eloquent
speech in behalf Of the prisoner and
said: when he had been carried to his
last resting place il the people would
speak OF his reputation as they had
testified to the good character Of the
prisoner at tho bar, he would consider
his life we'll spent"
The speech occupied one and half
hours and in conclusion Mr. Scott asked
for the acquittsl of the prisoner. The
mother and sister of tho prisoner who
havc been attending The trial daily,
were very much affected during the
conclusion Of the speech made by Mr..
Scott.

 The meeting had scarcely been called to order when MT. States asked why the city attorney did not issue warrant for Mr.
 Waldron's arrest. He wanted to know If more evidence was needed. This brought about discuseion which took up nearly an hour and half and during which many
 things were said and said again before &C.,
 tion was taken. Many times it was said
 that the city attorney had enough evil
 dence. It was finally decided to have the
 committee which has charge of the inves- tigation go to the city attorney and find out from him what more ground was wanted for the issuing of warrnt.
 After this discussion was settled Super intendent of Parks Thomas K. Dunn hand. ed in his resignation with the request that MT Kelly be given the pay from February l. His resignation was accepted, aud on motion of MT. Msley the salary of the of flee was increased to $1, ,000 per year, ,as the appropriation allows. The board then proceeded to ballot for successor to Mr. Dunn. The result of the vote was read by the l mayor. MT. Terrence B. Kelly received four votes, MT. F. D. Sloat one and H. c. White one. MT. Kelly was declared elected. The president of the board was | authorized to instruct MT. Kelly as to hii ! duties, and to impress upon that gentle 1 man the fact that he was subordinate to
 MT. Doyle.

 named MT. H. J. Kellogg. In 1s74-78 hs l was in this department and since that hal l had varied experience. He was engaged

 MT. Stoddard asked MT. Gum who he appeared for, to which MT. Blydenburgh replied, several New Haven lawyers and myself.
 MT. Blydenburgh submitted various figures already printed by the COURIER, and said he thought that the superior court could do all the business now done by this court.
 MT. Gum appeared and showed by fig l ures from the comptroller's office for the l last ten years that the court was neces- sity, and did away with the designed sp- peal cases. MT. Gum used the same arguments in favor of retaining this court that were used before the judiciary com mittee in favor of the bill to establish a criminal court of common pleas in Water. bury, which Is in New Haven county, and being a smaller town it necessarily haf less business.
 The retaining of the court was alst
 favored by Lawyers H. E Benton, L. W

 were referred for executive session on mex Tuesday morning.
