They Marred the Opening Day at Fleet
 wood Park.
 New York, June 2.-Poor starting and a series of mishaps marred the sport to-day at the opening of the spring trotting meeting at Fleetwood park When the 300 trotters were scoring for the first heat Forest B. kicked his driv- CT, Charles Steiner, out of the sulky and ran. Mounted policemen chased the horse a mile before he could be stopped. In the first heat of the pacing race In tone fell dead about fifty yards from the finish line, when safely in the lead. He was owned by John McGuire of this city, who bought him from c. J. Hanlin a Few weeks ago.
 High Noon and Phyllis Wilkes col lided in scoring for the second heat, the former throwing his driver out and run ming away, while the sulky of Phyllis Wilkes was wrecked. Neither of the runaway horses was injured and High Noon continued in the race, winning a part of the purse.

PIPE LINE BILL VETOED.
Powers and Privileges Are Ear Too Ex-
 tensive.

Boston, June 2.-Acting Gov. WoIcott says as to his veto of the Massachu- sets Pipe Line bill: '.The powers and privileges granted to the corporation are more extensive than the title to the act would indicate. It is not pipe line company merely. It is gas com- pany, with privileges far more reach- ing than has heretofore been granted to a Massachusetts corporation
 The six persons named, their asso- ciates and successors are granted a charter with capital which may be in- definitely increased. Their right to lay pipe lines is absolute, except as to msre details of location.
 It is obvious that this bill is a radical departure from the we'll settled policy of legislation in Massachusetts.
 This bill gives to the company a char ter empowering it to compete with the existing companies, handicapped as these companies necessarily would be by regulations now in force.
 The house laid the governors veto over until tomorrow.

Oregon Goes Republican.
At Brooklyn---

Portland, Ore, June 2.-The next leg islature will be overwhelmingly repub lican. Jonathan Bourne, jr., the leader of Senator Mitchell's campaign, is elected to the lower house. It will be impossible for some time yet to tell accurately Senator Mitchells chances for reelection. Most of the republi- cans are for silver, but many of them do not favor Mitchell. The chairman of the republican committee claims the election of f1fty-five straight republi- can representatives out of the total of sixty elected. The populists claim to have elected thirty fusion.

MISS BISHOP,S DEATH.

Not Caused by Ammanol-oficial State ment Made.
 l Medical Examiner White gave out last evening the following statement to the coroner Regarding the death of Miss Sarah o. Bishop, who died on the evening of May 23 in Dr. Skinner's office on Orange street, after sleep of about thirtyfour hours:
 After careful investigation of the cause of the death of Sarah O. Bishop, May 23 1896, find, by postmortem ex- animation, that she had Bright's dis ease, with hyaline caete in the urine, and many of the tubules partly denued of epithelium.
 She also had nutmeg liver and con gestion of the lungs. She was taken with profound coma about 1:30 p. m, May P, with very low respiration and dilated pupils. Pulse and temperature normal, pulse soon grew rapid. In three hours pulse rose to 140 and temperature to Il degrees F. She lived thirty-four hours and her temperature rose to 106 degrees Farenheit 106 F)
 She had used ammonol for headache in five or ten grain doses, but there is no evidence that she had taken any for two weeks previous to her death.
 Postmortem gave no evidence of the presence of action of ammonol, and chemical examinations of washings from the stomach, taken three hours af- ter coma set in, gave no trace of the presence of ammonol, and there is noth- ing in her symptoms and mode of death which would indicate that death was caused in whole or in part by ammonol.

The AnpeIIare Courts.

Appellate courts can know nothing OF
the real trial as it did occur, yet they
are not deferred from granting new
trials and practically cooperating with
unscrupulous attorneys for the escape OF
men guilty Of the most wicked murdera.
Appellate courts too frequently seem to
think that superior knowledge of the
law is shown not by affirming the ao-
ton of the trial court, but by standing
in antagonism to it and by criticising
its action.
1t is like the case of the bold, open
critic. who frequently gets credit for su-
perior knowledge by the audacity Of
his criticism, when, in fact, he knows
nothing Of the subject. Appellate courts
are very often made up of men wanting
in knowledge of the most elementary
principles Of the criminal law, for they
have never either studied or practiced
it. With this want of knowledge of the
very law they are seeking to administer,
they try the case not on its merits. to
determine the guilt Oh innocence OF the
man, but they try it by some technical
rule which has really no relation to the
Ruilt or Innocence of the accused
North American Review.
