Of the case-hardened cast laughed at
her. and when she recited two stAusas
OF "Ostler joe" the climax Of suda-

The Philadelphia people raved over

ANOTHER LEAK SPRUNG.
Durrant's Attorneys Say They VIII Prove
That Somebody Else Did II.

San Francisco. Sept. 9.-An evening
paper prints a sensational story about
the defense which will be offered In the
trial OF Theodore Durrant. The follow
ing statement Is credited to person
connected with the defense: The albi
will be strong. but the defense has wit
nesses to show that Durrant not only
did not commit the murder. but will
Indicate who did commit II. Witnesses
will testify that they saw the girl enter
the church on the fatal afternoon with
a certain man. and at that time sec
ond man was In the church. There the
defense VIII rest its inquiry. It will not
attempt TO prove that these parties did
commit the murder. The statements as
to this are so direct that they will leave
no ground for ohe prosecution to stand
on so far as Durrant Is concerned.

called all the miners together and made
a long address to them. saying that II
would give the fire draft and that there
was timber enough in the mine to keep
the fire up for weeks. and that this &C

In recovering the bodies. The relatives
OF the entombed men are becoming

enter the burning mine. which they
would mean death to them. Many

and ten small children clustered about

One more little baby bark
Has crossed the river deep;
It's waters were very cold and dark
For the little dimple feet.
Through the long day and silent night
You will miss those pattering feet;
But "Sloan" shines a star Of light,
For the Masters crown made meet.
'Tis beautious bud, the Master said !;
Go, gather it, angels, for me,
They answered. 'Tis already dead
We bring it, Lord, to Thee.
And Jesus stood on the golden strand
And bade the baby come;
So we meekly kissed the folded hands,
And said, Goods will be done."

Some Practical Suggestions.

To the Editor of the Ne,OS and Courier:
I hope the Convention will delegate such
powers to the Legislature as will enable
it to make efforts to stay the exodus OF
people from country to town. Some OF
the means to this end, think, are the
making of good roads, the maintenance
of good schools; power to exempt from
taxation for term Of years factories and
workshops, thereby building up home
markets for farm products; power to en-
courage the building of railroads, which
make habitable and desirable for white
people lands that otherwise may be aban-
doned TO the negro or the owl and bat.
(Northern emigrants will not settle on
any land situated more than three miles
from a railroad.) Lastly power to tax
dogs 80 as TO bring into the treasury fifty
or one hundred thousand dollars, where
only four thousand is now collected.
The good effect of such law vii! be
the killing Of the half starved cur which
helps to mpoverlsh the farmer by robbing
the poultry house and making the prof;
table raising of sheep impossible, and
which eats up What might be used In
raising hogs.
The thinning out of dogs would eradi-
cate hydrophobia by which dread disease
80 many valuable lives have been lost in
the last few years.
Again, as the stock law has improved
the breed Of cattle and improved the
quality and increased the quantity OF
butter and of beef, 30 tax on dogs would
promote the raising Of useful dogs and
enable the partridges and wild turkeys
to o;multiply, and would add much to the
pleasures of country life by affording
plenty of game for the farmer to enjoy.
