 An interesting case in Mexican court has recently come to an interest ing end. A conductor on the Interna- tionai railroad, running between Diaz and Torreon, was arrested for the will full murder of Q young Mexican boy, who lived in a small town a few miles south of the border. His mangled body was discovered upon the railroad track one morning, and another youth, who had been with him the night before, gave the Information upon which the conductors arrest was based. He ex- plained that he and the dead boy were stealing a ride upon the back platform of the last car of the express train when the conductor discovered them, and kicked his companion off the steps of the car while the train was moving at a rapid rate. When he was asked how the body could have been mangled by the wheels of the car when 1t was thrown from the rear platform of the train, he replied that it seemed to be sucked under the wheels by the mo- mentum of the train, that when it was kicked off the platform by the conduc- tor 1t bounded along on the tracks for an instant and then curiously disap- peared under the rear end of the car. a.

 Philadelphia maintains it's proud rec ord of being the city of homes. Large ly through the aid and incentive of the building and loan association, it has no equal ir the world as city of home owners, and its lead in this respect is steadily growing. The facts on which this statement is based come from the office of the board of Revision of Taxes, where it is shown by the returns of the assessors for 1896 that the city contains 156,14S individual owners of real estate. This is a big increase over the total of 1856, when the number was 11,5SO. and over the number in 1860, when the total was 50,470. The increase has been steady and we'll distributed. Only sev- en of the thirty-seven wards show a decrease, and this Is explained by the fact that these are wards in the busi- ness sections where houses have given way to warehouses or manufacturing concerns.

real estate in France to the English
dominions. In 1854, Henry Plantage-
net was thus the most powerful mon
arch in Europe, and by wedding his son
Godfrey to the daughter OF the Duke or
Brittany, soon scooped in that valuable
property also.
He broke up the custom of issuing
pickpocket and felony licenses to his
mobiles. seized the royal stone piles and
other nests for common sneak thieves,
and resolved to give the people chance
to pay taxes and die natural deaths.
The disorderly mobiles were reduced TO
the ranks or sent away to institutions
for inebriates, and people began to per-
nit their daughters to go about the
place unarmed.
Foreign mercenaries who had so
long infested the country were ordered
to leave it under penalty of having
their personal possessions connscated,
and their own carcasses dissected and
fed TO the wild boars.
Henry next gave his attention to the
eccleSiastic power. He chose Thomas
a-Recket TO the vacant portfolio as
Archbishop of Canterbury, hoping thus
20 secure him as an ally; but a-Becket,
though accustomed to ride after four
finland and assume style equal 10 the
king himself. suddenly became extreme
" devout, and austerity characterized
this child of fortune, insomuch that
each day on Bonded knees he bathed
the chappsd and soiled feet of thirteen
beggars. Why thirteen beggars should
come around every morning 10 the
archbishop's study to have their rect
manicured, or how that could POSSIBLY
molhfy an outraged God, the historian
does not claim TO state, and, in fact, is
not able to throw any light upon II al
the price agreed upon for this book.
Trouble now arose between the King
and the archbishop; protracted cool
ness. during which the kings pew grew
gray with dust. and he had to baptize
and confirm his own children in add
ton TO his other work.
The king now summoned the preiates;
but they excused themselves from COM
ing on the grounds of previous engage
ments. Then he summoned the MOBILES
also. and gave the prelates one more
chance, which they decided to avail
themselves Of. Thus the "Constitu-
tons of Clarendon were adopted in
1864. and Beckett, though he at first
bolted the action of the convention,
soon became reconciled and promised
to fall into line, though he hated it like
sin.
Then the Roman pontiff annulled the
constitutions, and scared Beckett back
