Colonel James summed up for the de-
fence, telling tho jury that they should
decide the case on the evidence. Then
Joseph III. Choate began for the plaintiff.
He had Bible in his hand and he began
his address by reading from IL the parable
Of Dives and Lazarus.
"There was certain rich man." read
Mr. Choate "who was clothed in purple
and fine linen and Jared sumptuously
every day; and there was a certain beggar,
named Lazarus, who was laid at his
gate, full Of sores, and desiring to be fed
with the crumbs which fell from the rich
mans table; moreover, the dogs came and
licked his sores. And 1t came 10 pass that
the beggar died and was carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom; the rich
man also died and was buried"
Continuing, Mr. Choatc said Dives, in
the Bible, suffered In hell for the sores Of
Lazarus, though he had nothing to do
with them or their origin.
Threats Against Lawyer Choatc.
"Why, gentlemen" said Mr.. Choate,
'since these trials have begun have fire.
qucntly received anonymous letters threat
ening me II did not give up the ease but
never will retire from 1t until L see JUS
tice is done the defendant"
Attorney Fellows came into court, and
the former said: 81 wish Colonel Fellows
had this case, not I; he knows how TO deal
with such men rs Sngc. What does this
man care for jury'" sarcastically said
Mr.. Choatc.
"Who was 1t Sage called 'scruff' when
he was on the stand. Why, gentlemen, IL
was one of the jury. What respect has
he for the decision of n iury when he said
on the stand he would carry the case to the
United States supreme court.
This poor mangled being, Laidlaw,
for the past four years has been carrying
on fight against this financial monster,
Sage. II had known the attitude Sage
would have taken in this case l would
have made the claim for 800, 900 instead OF
$4,000"
The case was given to the Jury Mt S:07,
and at 4:l2 they returned with the verdict

LONDON, June 10. A dispatch from

late at the Vatican anent Cardinal Glib

Comment on the Merits and Demcrits OF

Comment on the Merits and Demcrits OF
Our Rowing Representatives.
LONDON, June ie.-Truth, commenting
upon the Cornell Henley crew, says:
After the nauseating twaddle sent here
about the Cornell crew IL is treat TO find
them very pleasant set OF fellows, per.
fectly frank and open in every way and
only too anxious to show and explain TO a
rowing visitor all about their boats and
methods. Although not big men, they
are strong aud wiery, and they have been
coached 10 almost machine perfection and
similarity of style that speaks volumes
for their coaching
They seldom paddle less than 30, and
their racing stroke Is somewhere in the
b0s. There Is no body swing and they are
very short In their reach forward. They
have a sharp, quick recovery and very
smart and neat with their hands. THEN
style, therefore, is very different from that
favored here. Over the Putney TO Mort
lake course they would not have chance.
The Henley course is very trying, and II
they succeed there will be revolution In
English rowing. But this is unlikely,
and it Is not improbable they will return
with their notions Of rowing considerably
modified, for they are just as anxious as
our men to pick up points. OF course, II
would be a nasty blow TO English rowing
II the Cornellers Won the grand prize; but,
At the same time, IL could not be won by
bette" sportsmen.
AS TO the crews against them, the
Leander, the holders Of the grand, have
been troubled about their bow oar, owing
20 the illness Of Cation, who will DO re-
placed by an oxford man, Graham. The
crew began training at Oxford on Mon
day. Neither the London nor the Thames
crew will be much good Pitman will
stroke New and Wauchope will stroke
Trinityhall.
The stewards will provide some of the
finest racing, the Canadian four having
against them the London four, with the
two Nickalls and the Thames, which are
both very strong, and the new four which
won the university event last autumn.

The liquor license case was decided
against the saloon keepers and the
city of Monroe last Friday at that
place by Judge Potts, and if his de-
cision is affirmed by the Supreme
Court, Monroe will be dry town for
the year 1896. At an election held
throughout Ouachita parish last De-
cember a majority of the votes cast
were against the sale of Intoxicating
liquors within the limits of Ouachita
parish, but the saloon keepers in the
city of Monroe claim that that town
is exempt from the enforcement OF
the law, and refuse to accept the YER
dict of majority of the voters of
the parish, and attack the election in
which they had acquiesced and par
ticipated. The city tax collector was
injoined from issuing licenses for the
sale of whisky in Monroe during
1895, and Judge Potts has rendered
decision perpetuating the injunc-
ton. Defendants appealed from the
decision, and the case will soon be
decided by the Supreme Court
