Enoch Is 100 years old some time this
month. and David is eight years younger.
They own about 1000 acres OF very good
land. on which they have many tenants.
They have lived bachelors for ninety
years at the place where they now re-
side. Enoch has always woven the goods
from which their clothing was made, done
their sewing, and made their shoes. David
has done the cooking. Their house Is a

chased here. Upon Investigation, 1t was
learned that on Saturday last Davis pur-
chased fifteen grains OF strychnine at
G. l.. KearfoOts drugstore, for the pur-
pose OF killing moles as he said. This.
connected with the fact that he lived
with the person that gave him the liquor.
and that that person held his life-insu-

CASE OF THE HORSA.
Argument as to What Constitutes a
military Expedition"

PHILADELPHIA, PA, February a.
When the trial of ]. II. Wiborg JAMS p.
Peterson, and II. Johansen, late captain.
first mate, and second mate, respectively,
of the steamer Horsa, who are charged
with engaging in a Cuban hlibuster-
ing expedition, was resumed in the
United States District Court to-day As
t-District-Attorney Ralston con-
tinued his address TO the jury. Mr.. Raj
ston contended that the thirty-nine men
who boarded the steamer at sea off
Barnegat, n. j., constituted a military
expedition in the sense OF the statute.
He asked the jurors not TO be influenced
by pleas OF counsel for defendants for
sympathy for the insurgents, but Judge
Butler interrupted him. and stated that
such pleas would be Irrelevant TO the
case, and would not be permitted.
Mr.. Ralston spoke briefly, and closed
with the claim that the defendants
were guilty Of having violated the sta
tute.
Captain Ker. senior counsel for de-
PENDANTS, then began an argument be-
fore the court on the thirteen points
presented by him yesterday, and upon
which he asked the Judge 10 pass in
charging the jury.
Captain Ker based his arguments MAIN
" upon the construction OF the sta
tute as regards military expedi-
ton" He declared that 10 constitute
a military expedition there must be an
organization OF infantry cavalry. or ar
tiIlery-and that any other combination
does not form such an expedition. He
quoted authorities I'm support OF this ar
gument
When Captain Ker had concluded Judge
Butler announced that his Ohe Judge ~
Interpretation OF the statute which he
expressed yesterday. had not undergone
any change. This Interpretation OF a
military expedition" is in conflict with
the views OF Captain Ker. and his Honor
amplified his remarks OF yesterday by
stating that he was convinced that, by
the terms OF the statute. Congress meant
to prohibit the fitting out OF any such
expedition. The Judge further said that
he would undertake in his charge 10
define the terms OF the act OF Con-
gress In question, and that he would
expect the jury to accept the Courts in
depreciation.
