THE GORDON CAsE.-At Louisville,
KY, yesterday, the prosecution in the
Gordon murder case caused subpoena
to be issued for Webster Gazlay. 1t
was given out that the prosecution
would attempt to show that it was
Gazlay who served as Gordon's friend
who Swallowed Mrs. Gordon and Arch
Brown to Lucy Smiths house, and
then sent telephone message, remain
ing to point out the place. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Thurman said it had been
discovered that Gazlay was not the per.
SON suspected, and he was excused
from testifying. He insisted, however,
on going on the stand, but his testi-
mony was unimportant.
Lucy Smith, the negro woman,
keeper of the house where the crime
was committed, testified that Brown
first brought Mrs. Gordon to her house
last fall, and that they had been there
several times together. The woman
never came there with any one else.
While Parole E. Mitchell, Gordon's
servant girl, was on the stand, testify.
ing that letters came in her name in
tended for Mrs. Gordon, Browns love
letters to Mrs. Gordon were offered "a
testimony, and after vigorous protest
from the prosecution one was admitted.
Gen. Wallace testified that a tall,
slim white man accompanied Gordon
to the Smith house on the day of the
tragedy. The Commonwealth here
rested, and Aaron Kohn, for the de-
tense, moved for the discharge of the
prisoner.

American Railway union from six months

court originally imposed them.
The prisoners were sentenced to the
terms fixed to-day in two cases-one
brought by the United States and the
other by the Santa Fe railroad, but the
Judge made the sentences concurrent, to
begin and end at the same time. Later on
the sentences in each case were made
cumulative, one to begin when the other
ended, for technical reasons, in order that
the cases might be brought before the
Supreme Court. AS the court only wished
to punish the men for the length or time

day President Smith camo in the private

tie. President Smith was accompanied by
General superintendent Baldwin and
Master Car Builder Robinson. Tho party
was in charge of Conductor p. Il. Hassctt.
President Smith and Superint endent Bald
win looked over the improvements now
being made at the station and the Presi-
dent stated that a track might be laid
through the depot on the west side where
the platform now is.The party returned
to St. Adams at noon.
1t will be remembered that the first State
railroad commission made itself famous
by announcing that it was dangerous to
walk on the railroad tracks. 1t might have
added with truth that it is even more dam
gcrous to walk on railroad bridges. A
number of remarkably narrow escapes
have been reported on the twin bridges at
the gorge and also on the bridge between
this city and WinoosSi. AS the White
Mountain train was returning to the city
the other day, two persons were overtaken
on the latter bridge and were obliged to
lie down in order to avoid being run over.
The danger of walking on bridges has
been greatly increased in recent years
by the fact that modern engines, especial
ly the moguls, are wider than engines for
merly and anybody who is overtaken on a
bridge must choose between being run
over, or jumping off and hanging from
the edge of the bridge by the fingers.
People walking over bridges do so at their
own risk for railroad bridges are private
property. 1t is to be hoped that all people
will take due warning and govern them
selves accordingly, and thus prevent loss

partially intoxicated he stepped up to a
window in the dwelling of d. A. Thomas

The last eruption of Nesuvius was in

the lesser cones.
The flow stopped at night and was fol-
