Consideration OF the Jury.

The trial OF William Stokes for the
murder OF Joseph Ball was concluded this
morning by the argument OF the counsel
for the defendant and the State and the
charge Of the court. The testimony IN
the case was all submitted yesterday. No

officers that Stoke stabbed him and
Stoke, himself, admitted IL when arrested,
but said he did IL in eeli-defense. Stokes
said on the witness stand that he
had no intention TO injure Ball and stated
that he had been called in TO judge
game OF craps. Ho had decided II against
Bail, upon which Ball became angry with
the defendant. Finally, after the quarrel
had progressed for some time, Stokes
drew q knife to frighten his opponent.
Therepon Ball put his hand in his pocket
rs IL 10 draw a weapon, and the cutting
was done. The defendant was not clear
in his statement in regard TO this part OF
was done in self-deiense ana
also that it was accidental.
Attorney Benjamin in arguing Stokes
case dwelt upon the claim that the cut
ting was in self-defense, and said that
man who would not protect his life"should
be sent back 10 the mlnts OF nature 10 De
remodeled." Mr.. Justice Wilbur charged
the jury that the alleged act of the de-
ceased in putting his hanc TO his hip
pocket was not in itself sufficient TO show
that Bali had an intention TO injure the
defendant. The jury were given the case
at IL rs o'clock.

The Title Docs Not Always Show Where
the Road Begins and Ends.


The Title Does Not Always Show Where
the Road Begins and Ends.
1t might be supposed that railroads
which bear usually geographical
names would show by their titles
what points they connect, but there
are many exceptions In this respect,
and some of them are surprising.
The st. Louis and San francisco
railroad, for instance, might be sup
posed to run from st. Louis to San
Francisco. Actually it runs 327 miles
west of st. Louis. The Minneapolis
and st. Louis railroad would appear
to run from Minneapolis to st. Louis.
1t actually runs from Minneapolis to
Angus, Ia, about half way to st.
Louis. The Omaha and ST. Louis
railroad does not run from Omaha
to St Louis, but from Omaha to Pat
tonsburg, Mo. st. Louis is 267 miles
farther east. The Toledo, ST. Louis
and Kansas City railroad, or Clover
Leaf, as it is more generally called,
runs from Toledo TO st. Louis, which
is the western terminus of the road
Kansas City is 325 miles away. The
Toledo, Peoria and Western railroad
does not run from Peoria to Toledo,
but from the Indiana state line to
Warsaw, Ills.
The New York, Chicago and ST.
Louis railroad, or Nickel Plate, as
it is universally called, does not run
from New York to Chicago and St
Louis. 1t runs from Buffalo to Chi
cago, and passenger on it coming
east and landing at Buffalo would be
over 400 miles from New York, while
a passenger upon it going west and
landing at Chicago would be 500
miles from ST. Louis. The Philadel-
phia and Erie railroad runs from
Sunbury, Pa, to Erie. The Pennsyl-
vania, Poughkeopsie and Boston rail-
road is SO miles long, from Stating
ton, Pa, TO Campbell Hall, on the
Ontario and Western. The Fort
Worth and Denver City railroad is
wholly in Texas, docs not touch Den
yer city and. docs not run into Colo

nomenclature arc supplemented by

The art of rendering artificial aid to

Choose large house, with number OF

Impress upon the mind carefully all

the mind can readily SO over the parts.
Then place a series of ideas in the house
