GENERAL SESSIONS.

All of Wednesday was consumed in
the trial of the case against Frank
Moore, Mary Walker and Frances
Newton, all colored, and charged with
the murder of John Newton, also col
ored, Oh the 30th of April.
The testimony went to show that
Newton was unable to get along pleas
antly with his wife and step-children.
A lien on a crop worked by all to-
gether, had been a bone of contention.
There had been quarrels and assaults
until the night of April 80, when as
the result of general row in the cabin
of Frances Newton, John Newton was
killed. The State held that Newton
was killed with an axe in the hands of
one of the defendants. The defen-
dants claimed that the killing was
done with a stone thrown from the
hands of Frank Moore, the Is or IA
wear old son of Frances Newton. The
Jury returned a verdict Of guilty of
nanslaughter.
The motion for change of venue in
the case of L. Frank Shuford was ar
gued OH Wednesday morning. The
motion was based on claim that the
defendant could not get fair and i'm
partial trial in this county. His honor
Withheld his decision in the case and
will probably announce it this morn
ing. Deputy Sheriff Scoggins was sent
after Shuford on yesterday, and he
will be brought to Iorkville today.
In the event the application for a
change of venue is refused, the case
will probably 60 to trial at once. 1t is
understood, however, that the solici-
tor will continue the rape cases, and
bring up only the case that charges an
attempt to rape. This has been
brought about by the fact that the
more serious charges were not NEIL
toned in the warrant on which Shu-
ford was arrested.
Late Wednesday afternoon when the
jury went out Oh the murder case men
toned above, the case of VIVA. White,
charged with disposing ofproperty un-
der a lien, was called. This case was
tried at the last term of the court and
resulted in a mstrial. White was on
hand, dressed in his best, wearing the
badge of dispensary constable on his
breast. He plead guilty as charged in
the indictment, and his honor sentenc-
ed him to pay fine of $3.50, 60 to the
public works for six months, or 60 to
the penitentiary for the same period.

Various resolutions were read to the
conference and referred to the commit
tee. The committee retired, aud it
now being 1.30 o'clock, the conference
took recess until 2.30 p. m. in order
to give the committee time for consid-
Grafton.
While the committee was out, Judge
Joseph H. Earle appeared in the hall
by special request, and addressed the
conference. He spoke, in effect, as fol-
lows:
My Fellow Citizens of York county:
I feel somewhat embarrassed in ap-
pearing before you because it has al
ways been considered, perhaps, out of
place for judge to make political
speech. But, at the same time, I con-
ceive it my duty-the duty of any
man-to appear before the people
whenever they desire to hear him, and
when it is possible for him to say any
thing that can do any good.
When Mr.. Finley asked me to talk
to you, told him that I did not
desire to make political speech. He
said, "Oh, well, we don't want any
politics." 1 don't know what 1 can
say to you unless it is about law, poll
tics or religion; and as you are most
interested in politics just now, it would
hardly be proper for me to say any
thing about law or religion.
You are confronted with grave crisis

torily. The Illinois experiment will
be watched with great interest.
Prof. Mark w. Harrington, chief
of the weather bureau at Washing
ton, has been relieved from duty,
owing to disagreement with Secreta-
~ Morton. His resignation was called
for on June 10Th, but he declined to
resign, and subsequently was removed
by the president TO take effect July
lst. The relations between Secretary
Morton and Professor Harrington,
who was appointed from Michigan,
have been strained for months, and
correspondence between them has
been carried on only in the most for
nal language. Soon after the change
of administration, Secretary Morton
instituted an investigation Of the busi-
ness affairs of the bureau. The result
increased the strained relations be-
tween the secretry aud himself. The
trouble came to climax Oh June 10Th
with call for the professors resigna-
ton.
An attempt was made by robbers
on last Tuesday night, to wreck one of
the fast eastbound express train, on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, near
Monocacy, Maryland, about 35 miles
from Washington. The train was
running at high rate of speed, when
suddenly, between II and - O'Clock,
there was a terrific explosion. The
crew stuck to their posts and the train
was brought to a standstill, when it
was found that though the cars were

Compliments.

Rigid moralists declare that com.
pliments are SO akin to 1attery that
it is wrong to use praise in any way,
not alone because of its cloying, in
digestible effects upon the objects of
commendation, but quite as much
for the unhealthy state of mind
which it produces in the one who
pays the tribute. This is most in
tolerable and not to be endured, "
for all need both to give and to re-
ceive encouragement in this practi-
cal, hurrying world, and how better
can the wheels Of life be made to
move smoothly than by comforting
and unfolding in every way and by
seeing and openly acknowledging
the fitness and special gifts of our
fellow creatures? And, reprehensi.
BILE as hard natures find it, there is
charm in opening our eyes to the
attractions Of others, and warm,
healthy glow accompanies the utter
ance Of words which attest our ad-
miration. New York Mercury.

vice President Brecklnrldas.

Mr.. Breckenridge had in remark
able degree the characteristics of his
blood, He was born of one of tho
Oldest and most celebrated families
of Kentucky, and he and his admir-
ers were wont to boast that in him
had been bred the blood of those
families to a higher perfection than
in any other of her sons then in pub
lie life. He was genuine Kentucky
thoroughbred and exhibited in a
marked degree the points of his line
age. He was distinguished more for
personal impressiveness of speech
and manner, of figure and address,
than for intellectual power and
would be classed not with the con-
structors of institutions, but rather
with those who fashion and polish
what others design and rough hew.

Sit Up Straight on Your Bicycle.


There is absolutely no reason for
stopping over the handles in either
of the two ways SO commonly seen,
and there is no excuse for so doing
in ordinary road riding. It may be
necessary for the "scorcher" when
engaged in "scorching" to assume
the one or the other of these atti-
tudes-to sprawl with the body
straight, but almost horizontal, and
the head close to the handle bar, or
to bend the upper part Of the back
as if trying to break it in it's middle
and throw the shoulders forward as
if desiring to make them meet across
his breast. Even SO one who is not
"scorching' does not need to make
himself q hideous object to look at
and also reduce the benefits of wheel
ing to minimum, SO far as its effect
on the chest capacity is concerned

Diamond Setting For Tools.

In working hard materials with
diamonds set in metal there has al
ways been difficulty in preventing
the stone from being ripped out by
the strain. An effective method of
doing this has been devised. A little
block of steel, suitably notched to
receive the diamond, is brought to a
red heat, the diamond is inserted,
and the block is passed through a
small roll. the diamond is thus
firmly imbedded in the block, though
projecting slightly beyond its sur
face, and defes the strain of the
most exaoting work.
