The accusation, Indictment, trial,
conviction and sentence of DR.. w.
E. Perry, of Halltown, Jefferson
county, W. Va, for criminal assault
upon Miss Rose johnson is sad
episode in professional life, but shows
how quick the law and its officers
can act in apprehending offenders
and applying punishment. We know
naught Of the testimony, but there
must have been strong case made,
as the jury soon agreed. Judge
Faulkner promptly overruled mo-
ton for new trial and imposed a
sentence of IA years in the peniten-
tiary. The severity Of the punish
ment, is a fair test of the propriety
Of the conviction, for q judicial con-
science would not rest content, I'M
less there was firm and impartial
belief OF guilt. The books, that law
yers read on medical jurisprudence
are full Of similar cases when anas-
thetics have been used for profes-
sional purposes and then criminally
abused. 1t was a serious charge to
make involving the chastity and We
racity of the lady and the character
and reputation of the accused. He
was a married man and of mature
years, and while he and others oft
times seek excuse by saying "Let
him who is guiltless cast the first
stone," but in the same book they
will read the commandment, "Thou
shalt not commit adultery !" Human
law is not only based on this, but on
every phase of morality, culture and
intelligence, as we'll as to prevent
and punish criminal assaults upon
the rights of the person.

REPORT OF THE W. M. r. R.-The
directors of the Western Maryland
Railroad held their regular monthly
meeting Wednesday last, at lillian
station, and issued the following
statement of earnings and expenses
for June. with comparison for the
same month of last year: Gross
earnings, 1895, $99,S94.13: 1894,
$l13,927.58; decrease, $14,O33.45.
Expenses, 1895, $71,597.O2, 1894,
$72, I05.33; decrease, $837.31. Net
earnings, 1895, $28,e26.11; 1894,
SAL ,S22.25; decrease, $13,l96.14.
For the nine months ended June 80,
1895, compared with same months of
previous fiscal year (June approx
mated): Gross earnings, 1895, SILL
517.36; 1894, $lO3, 376.6Oi increase
68,140.76. Expenses, 1885, $685..
626.35; 1894, $569,316.12 increase,
$24,310.23. Net earnings, 1895, $2S7-
891.O1; 1894, $234,O7O.48; increase,
$42,830 SO. The directors issued
the following statement explaining
the falling off in earnings: "The
large decrease in net earnings for
June was not unexpected, June
1864, being an abnormally heavy
month, due to the large shipments
Of both anthracite and bituminous
coal over the road during the mining
strikes in the Beach Creek, Clear
field and Cumberland regions, when
a large amount of coal was drawn by
eastern manufactures from the
Myersdale and Fairmont regions via
the Baltimore and Ohio, Western
Maryland and Reading roads. 1t
is the subject of regret, however,
that the expenses could not be kept
down correspondingly with the de.
creased earnings, but unfortunately,
the business in June this year was
largely in one direction, while in
1895 it was very evenly balanced
that is the cars were loaded in both
directions last year, while they, as a
rule, ran empty in one direction this
year, so that while nearly as much
eXpence was entailed by their move
ment this year, there was little or
no revenue from the movement in
one direction. For the same reason
the comparison between July 1915 and
July '94 is expected to be unfavora-
BILE to '95.

the degree of bachelor of law. He
began at once the practice OF his pro-

an attorney. But his wide learning
in the law led to his appointment in
1874 to the chair in the University
