1t Is Something More Than "A Simple

A great many proofs, now more or

clearly that the decay of animal or veg

things, but a violent interference with

Tyndall showed long ago that the
spores of these plants exist in myriads
in the air, floating everywhere around
us; that they occupy all crannies and
empty places on the surface of the
earth, and that they swarm in their
millions in all ponds and puddles. An
easy way of proving that these spores
alone, and the plant colonies which
spring from them, are the cause of
putrefaction may be obtained by boil
ing beef tea in test tube, so as to kill
the bacteria, and then, while the liquid
is still steaming, closing up the mouth
of the tube with a plug of cotton wool,
which admits the air but strains out
the germs of the putrefactive organ

tea will keep good for years, but if you
remove the plug it will begin at once to

THE LAGGARD LAW.

Kelsay Porter was hanged at
Union, in this state, yesterday for
the murder of an old man named
Benjamin Mache, his wife and son.
There was no doubt as to who did
the killing, Porter surrendering him
self to the sheriff and telling him his
story of the crime. Porter claimed
that he acted in self-defense, that the
son, Ben Mache, had commenced
shooting at him, and that he only
shot to protect himself. Whether or
not there was any truth in this state
ment, it was evident that when he
shot the old people, who were in q
sled, their backs were toward him.
The case was tried III February, 500,
and Porter found guilty. His attor-
neys appealed to the supreme court,
and the decision of the lower court
was sustained.

Durrant has been much in evidence
for two years and half, and the de-
lay in infiicting punishment on him
is a cause of public clamor. In his
case there has been an abundance of
money, and every delay, every de-
vice that human ingenuity could
conjure up has been brought into
play. Yet Durrant's case has not
been much longer delayed than
Porter's.
Public sentiment about Union
seemed to be somewhat IN Porter's
favor, though why, it would be hard
to say, and strong effort was made
to procure a commutation of his SEN
tence through Governor Lord. The
latter found no sufficient reason fol
interfering, and so the law took it:

Tho War Department decided yesterday that
the New York and New Jersey Bridge Company
charter has not expired by lapse of time, and
that tho company can proceed with the work.
The question was brought up In connection
with tho company's recent application to the
Secretary of War to permit a reduction Of 400
feet In the length of tho river span Of the pro-
posed bridge. The law requires that the actual
work Of construction shall be begun within
ono year Of the time that the location and gen.
eral plans are approved by the Secretary Of
War. These were approved on March Is,
1896. As no work has actually been done on
the bridge, the question was raised as to
whether the charter for it had not expired.
The law, however, also requires that the

guilty. Policeman Farney Of the Oak street
