In Judge Bartch's division an old
horror that darkened the annals of the
Horn Silver mine was ireawakened by
defendants motion for a new trail in
the case of Thomas MeCharles against
the company. The action, it will be
remembered, was brought by Mechanics
in the Second district to recover dam
ages sustained by him while in the
employ of the company, the jury feath-
ering his nest with a judgment in the
sum of 100000
In the motion for new trial Judge
Dixon and Barlow Ferguson appeared
Hiles for the respondent. The argu-
ments, which were very exhaustive,
were heard by Judge Bartch, who will
hand down his ruling at the next sit
ting of the court at Beaver.
The casualty upon which the action
is based was a peculiar one. Mechanics
and his alternate, one Jacka, were en-
gagged in repairing the shaft at tenn
porary station betweenCthe fifth and
sixth levels in April, 1892, when sig
nal was sent upward to the engineer
to hoist. The engineer. says it was a
blasting signal, the plaintiff that it was
a plain hoist. At all events the engi-
neer was governed by his reading of
the signal and the bucket shot upward

The divorce mill opened up under
full steam again yesterday. Into Judge
Merritt's division there came with
feeble and decrepit step Mrs Jane Far
rar, the mother of grandchildren, one
of which prattled on its mothers knee,
to ask, after the vicissitudes of twenty
five years separation from husband
whom she testified was an habitual
drunkard.
How often does he get .drunk?'' cate
chized the court.

the aged petitioner, who shuddered as
her nlfnd wandered to that lone con-

Clara A. Robinson yesterday went be-
fore Judge Bartch and after reciting a
tale Of cruelty and neglect at the
hands of her husband, J. H Robinson,
walked forth with the nuptial knot

 LITTLE ROCK, Ark, June 27.-The Taylor brothers are snugly domiciled at the Gleason hotel Jerry South, their captor, wired the sheriff of Linn county, Mo-, that he would leave with his prisoners this evening for St. Louis.
 THE ELDER TAYLoR's STORY.
 The elder Taylor said: We left home on May II. On that day my brother came to me at Browning. 1 was in the bank fixing to open up for business. He told me what he had learned from the little Carter boy-that there were some dead people in his (my brother's) field. This was the first intmation we had that there was anything wrong. We afterward learned that we were suspected of killing the family. We also heard tsat there had been two arrests made and that another banker of the town had left. When we were returning homo that night we learned that we were strongly suspected. and that mobs were searching for us When got that information we made every effort to keep out of the way, and were advised by friends to leave for the time being. We went to Springfield, Mo, remain ing there a few days, thence going south to Chadwick Mo We came into Arkansas about two weeks after being out. stopping at hotel in Buffalo City. Marion county. We met MT. South at the hotel about a week ago. We learned that he was a nice fellow and popu- lar man.

Buffalo City is in the extreme north ern portion of the state, just across the line from Fancy county, Mo-, and the arrest confirms the recent reports discredited at the time, that the men had been seen in that county. The men admit that they are the Taylor brothers, but maintain their innocence of the terrible crime, and say they fled because they

Mr. South is a member of the Arkansas legislature. and is also a delegate to the state democratic convention which meets in Little Rock Wednesday. He was on his way to the convention when he passed through Buffalo City. There he saw the Taylors, and, having heard that they were in that part of the country, identified them from the descriptions published. Without as- sistance he placed them under arrest. Each man had two pistols, but no att tempt was made to use them, and they were surrendered to South. They give as reason for offering no resistance that they had grown tired of being hunted, and felt relieved when they turned over their weapons. After the arrest Mir. South put them into his buggy and brought them here, this be- ing the nearest railroad point He had no one to help him guard the prisoners on the way here, but they gave him no trouble.

Supreme Court.

The supreme Court of Louisiana
opened here on Monday last, three only
OF the judges being present, to-wit :
Chief Justice Nichols and Associate
Justices Breaux and Miller. We did
not learn why Justices McEuery and
watkins were not present, but presume
OF course there was a good reason for
it. The docket was short. We noticed
the presence of a goodly number of Wis
iting lawyers. to wit Judge Taylor
Beattie of Lafourche, Noise and Hall
from New Orleans, Weeks g. Burke
from New Iberia, Judge Mentz from
Franklin. Boufges from Abbeville, o.
Bryan & Pujo and w. F. Schwing from
Lake Charles, and Mouton from La
fayette.
We seriously regret that this is to be
the last term of the Supreme Court at
this place. Ever since the organization
OF our government its sessions have
been held here annually, and we have
come to regard the Court as a necessary
feature of Opelousas' makeup. The
pleasures of seeing the judges and the
men of learning of the legal fraternity
from many ci,eumjacent parishes of
the State have always been anticipated
with satisfaction, and all of us are sad
dened by the fact that they are ended.
We think the Legislature has erred.
AS great as our pride of New Orleansis is,
we are decidedly opposed to its absorp-
ton of all the advantages derivable
from periodical intercourse and social
communion with the many of the intel
lectual and refined men of the State.
While we submit to the law-to the
i1evitable-we would have it under
stood that we derive no pleasure from
u deprivation. and that we would
change it if we could.
