Reckless Thoughtlessness.

The judge of western court in order to secure a safer and more civilized condi- tion of affairs in tho courtroom, asked the 12 jurymen and tho 10 attorneys present. to place their pistols in pile ill tho corner of the room, but there seemed to be some hesitancy in complying with the request, and tho judge insisted
 Eff your honor will put his down first, :" suggested the foreman of tho jury, "I guess tho balance of us will foller suit. D
 Certainly, gents" replied his honor and laid his gun down in tho corner.
 In few minutes all tho others had done tho same, excepting tho sheriff and his deputy, who were not included and 23 pistols were reposing peacefully OF the floor
 "Now, gents" said his honor suddenly whipping out gun, "the first man that goes near that pile gifts it in the neck"
 In an instant every mans hand went to his other hip pocket, and as his honor divcd behind the desk 22 bullets went through the window back of where hc had been sitting, and 22 men were waiting for him to stick his head up, but he did nothing so rash.
 "Put up them guns, he yelled, "put up them guns or I'll fine every d--d one of you for contempt of court r'-New York Sun.

TWO YOUNG TENDS.
One Murders His Grandmother and the
 Other Assists in Hiding the Crime.

One Murders His Grandmother and the
 Other Assists in Hiding the Crime.
 Detroit, Mich, July 10.--Late yesterday afternoon George Cheesbro confessed that he was the murderer of his grand mother, Mrs. Levie Pierce. He claimed that his grandmother became suddenly offended at some trivial thing which he did and that she attacked him with a knife and that he Killed her in self-de- fense
 Mary Pierce, the 13-year-old daughter, however broke down and confessed that the killing was unjustifable. Mary and her mother were having a wordy quarrel, and George. she claims, interfered and struck Mrs. Pierce several violent blows with a stove poker. Not satisfied with this he sprang at the old lady, caught her by the throat and throttled her to death. Mary did not interfere. Instead she aS- sisted Cheesbro in his attempt to clear up evidence of the struggle The floor was mopped and the murdered woman's S head washed to clean the blood marks, but the finger marks on the throat and the terrible cut across the chin could not be obliterated, and the two young friends gave up the attempt after working twenty minutes over the body.
 It was the intention to claim that the old lady fell dead as if from heart disease, but as the marks of violence were too plain the story of tramps in the neghborhood was concocted. Cheesbro expressed no regret for his deed. Mrs. Pierce was woman of violent temper, and had been known to punish her chil- dren and even her husband unmercifully, MT. Pierce appears to mourn but little, and it is the impression that he IS glad his wife is dead. The young murderers have been bound over to the circuit pollrt for trial

SIX MEN LOST THEIR LIVES
AND TWO VALUABLE HORSES BURNED
Fire in a Livery Barn at Detroit, Mich.-Re- mafkable Escape of Seventy-Two
 Horses.

Detroit, Mich, July 10.-A fire started in Cases livery barn, four-story brick structure No. fl Congress street. shortly after o'clock this morning. Two hours later, when the nremen had succeeded in gaining control of the flames the barn was a complete wreck. Five men at least had either been burned to death or smothered. One was fatally injured by jumping from the burning building. Two horses were burned to death and S60o00 worth of property destroyed Seventy five horses stabbed in the basement es- capped the fire.
 Six men lost their lives in the fire. As were employees of the stable, and slept on the fifth flcer. One man named Cum mlngs became excited, and, after throw ing his clothing from a fifth story win dow, leaped out himself and landed among the firemen, who were putting up ladder to save him. His skull was crushed, and he is probably fatally hurt. Five men were suffocated or burned to death in their rescue. The sixth man had apparently tried to escape, but had pitched head first down hay chute. His body was found in the basement erect, but standing on his head in the chute with his skull fiattened out
 Strangely enough. of the seventy-two horses which were stabbed in the base ment not one was injured. This was owing to the solidity of the floor above them. They were found standing in about feet of water, and were all re- moved safely.
 MT. Case, the proprietor of the stable, estimates his less at $60,000. and the loss on the building Is about $20.000 more.
 The two valuable horses burned were Ethel G. and the pacer, Little Mac, with a record of 213% Belle Isle, another trotter, was badly burned.

changing the creditors. Further argu-
ments were to be heard on this point
this afternoon, and it was understood
that the opinion given by the court

Evidence was introduced to show
the alleged unftness of Mr.. Schwartz
for the position, and one or two wit
nesses gave testimony on that point.
