THE CABIN CASE.

! Asher's testimony was read and
signed. 1t was supposed he would
make great many corrections, but
he made very few.
The prosecution called s. Walker to
the stand. He testified that he is in
the employ of the s. P. Co. as hostler.
Was in Carlin on June 10Th and on
the 3rd of July. Was at that time
looking after the stationary and switch
engines. He said that on the morn
ing of July 3rd James Cummings and
Tom Cleary came into the round
house about so in the morning and
said, Hello, there!" Il did not reply
the first time he spoke but the second
time he spoke climbed off the en-
CINE where I was sitting. I asked him
what he wanted. He said: L want
you to go to the stationary and stay
there till I tell you to 60 away 1
told him the engine was all right. 1
demurred about going, but said if I
was compelled to go I would. He
took my lantern from me. 1 said
wanted it, but he took it. AS l went
out Of the door Tom Cleary followed
me out. 1 went to the stationary and
switch engines and found them all
right. From there I went to the
round house."
His testimony about trying to get
into the round house and of his find
ing the doors fastened, was practical
ly the same as given in the March
cose. He said after he finally could
get in the round-house, no one was
there. But during the time they were
In there he went around and looked
in the window, but it was too dark.
There was no light and could not
recognize any one.
IAsher in his testimony stated that
the men were working on the engines,
that they had light or torch setting
on the guide-rod, and he could rec
ognize one of the men at work as
Cummings.l
Walker said after he came back to
the round house 10 could hear some
one working with monkey-wrench
or hammer, 30 he went again TO see
il he could see anyone, but said it was
too dark and there was no light in
there.
He was cross-examined by Mr..
Wren.
He had stated ON direct examination
that he frequently found tramps in
the round-house. Wren asked If they
we're not as rule pretty malicious
against the r. r. Co. He replied that
he generally found them pretty
good.

Carlin, Aug 10.
Court convened at 9 Am.
The prosecution announced that
their case was in.
AS agreed in the commencement of
the present trial, the testimony Of
: Morgan, Bell, McRae, Knapp and
Luckett, for the prosecution, and Viii.
iams, Howard, Robinson, Bernard
and Arnheim, for the defense, in the
March case, should be used in this.
In addition to these, the prosecution
placed Asher and Walker on the stand
and parts oftheir testimony appeared
in these columns.
The defense desired to place Jas.
Cummings, one Of the defendants, on
| the stand. Prosecution objected on
the grouud that a defendant cannot
be sworn and testify in his own behalf
on a preliminary examination, but has
the right to make a statement. The
prosecution agreed, however. that
they would allow Cummings to be
sworn in behalf of defendants Cleary
and Thompson. But, after agreeing
to this, the attorneys for the prosecu-
ton retired for consultation and re-
turned and retracted their agreement
and submitted the matter to the Com
missioner's ruling. He ruled that
defendant might be allowed to testify
in behalf Of the other defendants.
The prosecution demurred against
the Courts ruling and cited authori-
ties to support their objection. To
simplify matters the defendant, Cum
! mings, waived the right to make a
statement and Cummings was placed
on the stand in behalf of the other
defendants. The prosecution raised
another objection because the right
to make statement would not be
waived by the other defendants. But
his Honor ruled that Cummings
should be sworn.
He testified that he was 30 years
old and was born in Joliet, Ills. The
prosecution here registered one last
kick against his being sworn. They
stated to the Court that his Honor
had not made to the witness the
Statutory stament; that is, telling the
defendant of what he is charged and
giving him the privilege of waving
the right to make a statement
Counsel for the defense had previ,
ously stated that the defendant would
waive a statement, but this did not
suit the prosecution. His Honor
complied with their request. Cum
mings testified that on the night OF
July Bird he awent on duty as watch
man after IL o'clock. I went to the
stationary engine and noticed there
was very little water in the guage

PLAYING Cards.

The invention of playing cards has
been attributed to the Chinese, Hindoos,
Arabians and Romans, but cards as
now used were invented by jacques
Gringonneur, painter, in Paris IN the
fourteenth century. They were sup
posed to have been first made for the
amusement of Charles VI of France,
who was deranged. The French had
particular names for the II court cards.
The four kings were David, Alexander,
Caesar and Charles; the four queens,
Angine, Esther, Judith and Pallas; the
four knaves or knights, Ogier the Dane.

are richer than we. OF is it a matter of
taste or result of primogenitureP So
also IL appears from close study of
documents submitted by Anthony Troll
lope and other contemporaneous histo-
rians-that British gentlemen in re
spectacle circumstances employ from
Eve 10 fifty servants and have several
houses apiece. all of which they live in.
and travel much besides. An Ameri-
can who lives in that way Is looked
upon as man of very exceptional re-
sources. but it would seem that an Eng
hsh gentleman who does not live in that
way is thought to he somewhat strait
ened. In England there are 800 or 400
hunt clubs, and something like 10000
Britishers ride pretty regularly To
hounds. But hunting is an expensive
sport that takes both time and money.
These English seem to have both to
spare.

The Street Railway.

Thirteen members Of the Town Council
put in an appearance Tuesday evening for
the purpose of disposing of the street rail-
way ordinance, but the Council had hardly
been called to order until President
Stamm suggested that the matter bs held
over for a week, and motion to that
effect carried.
Almost everybody in Butler would like to
see a street railway in the town, and the
only question is as to whether these men
mean business, or whether they mean to
secure q charter under the act Of 1889, and
then hold it for speculative purposes.
The street railway law Of 1850 provides
that any five persons can form company
for the purpose of building and operating
q street railway, that the company can
acquire and sell real and personal prop
erty: that 50. 600. for each mile of track
must be subscribed and $500 paid in, in
good faith. before the articles of assn can
be filed with the Sec'y Of the Common
wealth that the shares of such Company
shall be $50. each; that the track shall be q
continuous circuit; that it shall not be
built without the consent of the local au-
thorities; that it shall be completed within
two years after such consent Is obtained;
that turnpikes may be used by railway
companies; that such companies have the
right of the street; that locomotive power
is not to be used. etc.
The act also provides for Bylaws
agents, elections, extensions, meeting Of
Directors, reports to Auditor General and
Legislature, etc.
Some of our attorneys are of the opinion
that any provisions of an ordinance or ag-
greement not in accordance with this act
would be annulled by the Courts, and that
therefore we should 60 slow, if we want to
be sure of not getting our fingers burned.
At the same meeting Mr.. Brackney of
W. Pearl ST. offered to take s175. costs
and municipal lien, and discontinue his
suit against the borough, but this was re-
fnsed BY Council.
The Council will meet next Tuesday
evening to d; pose of the Street Railway
